Chapter 63: The Empress Has Fallen

Chapter 63: The Empress Has Fallen

H-HER MAJESTYYYYYYYYY!!

Right after Zion and Limule jumped out from the tower, the Empress' imperial guards rushed into the throne room in a hurry.

The first thing they saw was the figure of their Empress plopped in her own throne.

Upon approaching her, they found out that she had fainted with her eyes wide open and was blowing bubbles from her mouthtruly an un-empress-like appearance.

In addition, there was a small puddle of water below the throne, releasing an acrid smell around.

Her Majesty

They were speechless upon seeing the shameful display of their Empress, who reigned like a god of the Empire.

Nevertheless, they were still rushing at once to check her safety.

There are no external wounds but s-she, isn't breathing anymore

WHAT?!

Appearance-wise, she was unscathed.

But upon closer inspection, they discovered that she wasn't breathing.

Her heart h-has stopped beating

H-Healing magic! Use healing magic NOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!

The healing unit started to apply healing magic immediately.

But they forgot that healing magic couldn't resurrect the dead.

I-It's not working Her Majesty, Her Majesty is already

NO WAY?!

At that moment, when they were grief-stricken by their Empress' death that came out of nowhere

U~h

H-HER MAJESTY?!

The Empress, who they thought had already passed away, suddenly groaned.

And then, her eyelids started to move again.

I W-What just happened to me?

Everyone in the throne room was raising joyous cries.

HER MAJESTY IS ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Thank God

WHERE IS THE BASTARD WHO SAID THAT HER HEART HAD ALREADY STOPPED BEATING?!

The imperial guards heaved a sigh of relief.

Only the people who checked the Empress' condition from a while ago weren't cheering along with the others. They were staring dumbfoundedly at the Empress.

I won't allow any disrespect toward T-H-A-T P-E-R-S-O-N!

That person? Disrespect?

Everyone in that room almost shouted, "What in the world are you saying, Your Majesty?"

Ignoring her confused subordinates, the Empress was looking at the huge hole in the wall used by No Life King to escape from the tower.

We are your servants That's why this Empire is yours

It was only a while later did all the citizens of the Empire shudder when the Empress suddenly announced the establishment of a religion that deified the No Life King.

===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===

Eh? You were kidnapped to lure me in?

Yeah, that's the gist of the situation. The Empress was trying to elevate the name of the Empire by subjugating you, the No Life King, since youre considered a great disaster-class monster.

My face cramped upon hearing the explanation of the situation from the female Holy Knight.

In short, you were kidnapped because of me?

I got really embarrassed for having some sort of delusion as if I were a hero who saved the princess from the Empire's evil claws.

I would never have expected that the reason she was kidnapped was me.

So that was why the other party went as far as telling me the place where she was taken.

I thought that they must have some screws loose in their heads or something for telling me the place where she was brought to, but it all made sense now.

Don't worry about it. It's not like you're at fault here.

But still I ended up causing so much trouble for you

Don't worry about it. You ended up saving me after all.

It seemed she didn't really mind.

So young yet she had a big heart.

She was somehow averting her gaze when I looked at her with eyes full of respect.

A-Anyway shouldn't we heading toward the Holy Country right now?

Naturally. There were all sorts of misunderstandings along the way, but

Purification of the undead is regarded as the mission of our faith and country In fact, this is the first time our target has asked for our help to purify him.

In short, despite a bit of a hiccup that happened in the Empire, we could finally depart to the female Holy Knight's homeland, the Holy Country.

With this, I could finally rest in peace

Are you really sure about this?

?

N-No, it's nothing. Forget what I said.
