Chapter 151 – 151. Shedding the Flesh. And Pick Up an Asshole (3)
====================
Contrary to serious concerns,
The vampires who hid in the kingdom of Valois played an active role, reaping more than expected results several times.
Crown Prince Ruan couldn’t hide her bewilderment at the news of victory that the militia, which had been strangling the capital Rutemine, was rapidly collapsing.
“It is an unparalleled feat!”
“Not only that, but news of victory is coming in from other fronts one after another!”
The nobles who assisted the crown prince were delighted as if they were about to dance.
The situation has completely turned upside down.
The militia, which had been advancing toward the capital with great vigor, fell into a quagmire.
The number of soldiers who left the military camp after the victory of the kingdom army decreased noticeably. It was the result of being given hope that the war could be won. Thanks to this, the kingdom army was able to reorganize their forces and seek opportunities for counterattack.
‘Does this mean that you will keep your promise even if you are from a lowly family? I don’t know what to ask for later… , After clearing out all the rebels, I will order the Roxfield family to wipe them out.’
Luan had no intention of condoning the existence of vampires.
It’s just a tool to wipe out the rebels,
The plan to establish an equal relationship with demons did not exist from the beginning.
Tosa Gupaeng.
The Crown Prince had the audacity to treat the Vampire Queen’s group as expendable items.
After wiping out all the militias, and even dealing with all the vampires, the purpose was to raise the status of the country and gain recognition from the Holy Empire.
“I heard that the Crown Prince dispatched competent officers to each front. Who the heck are they? I have been in the military so far, but it was the first time I saw it.”
A nobleman asked.
As a person in charge of an important position in the military,
While assisting the Crown Prince, he was fulfilling his role as a strategic adviser.
“These officers were secretly trained by the royal family in case the country’s fortunes were at stake. You can trust them because they graduated from the military academy of the Holy Empire with excellent grades.”
The nobles nodded their heads at the crown prince’s speech, which spread lies without spitting.
There were a lot of odd corners.
But no one had any doubts.
This is because they were the last hope in a situation where the militia suffered devastating damage. Since the crown prince personally guaranteed his status, the nobles accepted without hesitation.
“Are you saying you finally won?”
“Yes, princess. I congratulate you.”
The lady-in-waiting answered Princess Catherine’s question with a broad smile.
The kingdom army finally won.
The news of victory did not end at once, and the news of victory was being sent from each front, so the royal family and nobles were very happy.
‘The bugs have finally calmed down. I have to make them pay the price for climbing up without knowing the subject. We must completely eradicate the cause of the rebellion by killing all those who participated in the rebellion, as well as their families and related relatives. The insignificant bugs get their numbers right away even if there are only a few left.’
While Catherine showed her flowery smile to her ladies-in-waiting, she harbored a dark poison inside.
A bright rose stained with ugly poison,
That was Catherine, the first princess of the Kingdom of Valois.
“Princess, I prepared darjeeling today.”
“Thanks.”
When countless lives are fighting while shedding blood on the battlefield,
The noble princess drank tea elegantly.
Chatting with her ladies-in-waiting, she hoped that the bugs rebelling against the royal family would be saved as soon as possible.
“Princess.”
As the maid standing behind her took a step closer, she opened her mouth to Catherine, who was drinking darjeeling gracefully.
She was the first maid I had ever seen.
She seemed to be recruited in place of the lady-in-waiting who had fled in fear of the militia.
Strangely, she had red eyes.
Seeing that, Catherine muttered to herself, ‘If her elf had eyes like that, she would pluck them out and put them in her embalmer to decorate them.’
“Have you heard the rumors?”
“Are you talking about rumors…. I do not know. In times of emergency like now, unfounded rumors are bound to circulate.”
At Catherine’s answer, the lady-in-waiting smiled broadly and continued her words.
“There are rumors that vampires often appear on the battlefield.”
“Are you a vampire?”
To the words of her maid, Catherine replied with her exaggerated gestures and a startled look on her face.
Vampire?
What kind of bullshit is that all of a sudden?
Catherine wanted to answer like that, but she answered with a pitiful look because there were many maids around her.
“A noble of the night, a blooded clan…. Vampires are demons by many names. I heard that they are a tribe that uses black magic in exchange for blood. It is said that they boast a beauty that never ages and never dries through black magic.”
The maid was very knowledgeable about her vampires. However, she was not something to bring up in front of the princess.
She dares to tell the princess of her country her story of a vampire-like evil man. There was nothing strange about her behavior, even if she was headed to the gallows right away.
“Take it out now.”
“What are the knights doing!”
At the act of the maid daring to talk about her vampire in front of the princess, the maids around her called the escort knights.
At that, Catherine stretched out her hand.
She stopped the maids around her, as if the story about the vampire wasn’t too bad.
“A family that never ages and has a beauty that never withers…. It’s fun.”
For Catherine, who had a strong obsession with youth and beauty and greed that bordered on madness, the vampire who lived with immortal beauty was a being that stimulated interest.
It was interesting.
Interest began to arise.
So, the princess sent a gesture to her lady-in-waiting to tell her in detail.
“Huh!”
“Kuhm… !”
As her red-eyed maid lowered her head at her princess’s call, she briefly turned her gaze and glared strongly at the ladies-in-waiting who were trying to drive her away.
It flashed dazzlingly.
Surprised by those red eyes, the ladies-in-waiting shrieked and took a backward step.
It was because of instinctive fear.
Should I say it’s a feeling of intimidation?
It was not an energy that a maid could radiate.
As if to prove it, even the escort knights backed away in surprise at the red eyes.
“Would you like more tea?”
“Like.”
The lady-in-waiting held up the teapot.
At that, Catherine held out her goblet in front of her.
Squeak.
Kim flowed out.
However, what was in the teapot was not the darjeeling she had just drank, but a grotesque liquid reminiscent of freshly spilled blood.
* * *
I was reunited with the bad relationship of the past.
Yushin dissuaded Allen from killing him right away and chose to accompany Alphonse for a while.
Alphonse is useful.
Because it was an important clue to uncover the dirty and ugly secrets hidden in the royal family of Valois. And he decided to put his life on the line because he might become a precious witness to testify to the dirty side of the crown prince and the princess.
“Maybe we can survive if we actively cooperate. Maybe I’ll enjoy a second life in the country of the elves.”
It’s something you have to sell your family to.
However, Alphonse accepted Yushin’s proposal without hesitation.
“Joe, good! I was going to the Liberia Peninsula for that purpose from the beginning… !!”
It can’t be salvage.
Allen distorted her face at Alphonse’s willingness to sell her royal family for her own survival.
I should have killed him then. Allen regretted not taking Alphonse’s life for the purpose of playing with it slowly.
“Where are you going…. Can you tell me where you are going!”
Said Alphonse, breathing heavily.
He questioned his former subordinates who dared to force a forced march on him.
Although he was healed of his injuries with the Elixir of the Elves Yushin had given him, Alphonse was still seriously injured to the extent that his movement was somewhat difficult. He seemed dissatisfied with being forced to march.
“Don’t get sick and walk. If you ask me again, I will kill you!”
Allen reached up as if to wave her hand at any moment.
Surprised, Alphonse swallowed his displeasure and bit his mouth tightly. She became demure whenever she showed her ferocity, probably because Allen had beaten her to death.
‘Ah, I never thought Allen Roxfield was such a savage woman…. Such a mad dog came from the Roxfield family, who swore undying loyalty to her royal family!’
Alphonse was genuinely outraged by Allen’s behavior of abusing him for her indescribable disrespect.
How did such a monster come from the Roxfield family, which produced numerous loyalists?
Although she is a body demoted to a commoner,
Even so, she was a prince of the kingdom of Valois until recently.
“Fucking bastard.”
Alphonse, who was walking precariously, was deliberately knocked over by Allen swinging her foot.
Crazy year.
Alphonse, who was floundering in the mud, muttered as he clenched his teeth.
“Allen.”
Yushin, who was walking in front of her, turned her head and called her Allen.
At that, Allen grunted, pouting her lips.
He probably thought that Yushin would issue a decree.
“You just knocked it over.”
“No, don’t use harsh words. I’m not trying to scold you for knocking it over.”
“Okay!”
As soon as Yushin’s words were finished, Allen stepped on Alphonse’s hand as he tried to get back up from the mud.
“Keah!”
The former second prince screamed.
I was a bit pitiful, but what can I do?
All his karma.
It was a karmic price for a prince who sacrificed thousands of people to realize his own greed.
“Lutemine…. Rocksfield….”
Yushin, who stopped for a moment, seemed to be contemplating his destination.
The original destination was the Earldom of Roxfield.
However, the situation changed when she unexpectedly reunited with Alphonse.
He found out about the plans of Crown Prince Luane and Princess Catherine. As he learned about the corruption and misdeeds of the Valois royal family, his original purpose was shaken.
Continuing to ponder, Yushin decided to head for the Earl of Roxfield to fulfill his original purpose. He hadn’t heard that the Earl of Roxfield had been attacked by militias on his way here, so he thought he was probably safe, but he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
‘But the problem is that bastard….’
Yushin murmured as he watched Alphonse walking behind him gasping.
Earl of Roxfield, who is loyal to the Valois royal family, will try to protect Alphonse at all costs.
Even though he was demoted to a commoner,
It was an unchanging fact that Alphonse was the king’s son. If it was the Earl of Roxfield with that stubborn personality, he would have remained.
“We are going to the Earldom of Roxfield now.”
Yushin turned his head and said to Alphonse.
At those words, Alphonse wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm and opened his mouth.
“Low, the Earldom of Roxfield… ! Why are you trying to go where the militia is aiming with both eyes wide open? Of course, I know that the Roxfield family will not be easily defeated by the militia, but….”
I am walking towards death.
When Yushin revealed that he was heading to the Earl of Roxfield, Alphonse made a stunned expression.
It is a journey that contradicts his purpose of political asylum in the elven country of Liberia. Why did he not return to the elven country of Liberia, but rather cross the kingdom of Valois, where the civil war is raging? Alphonse did not understand Yushin’s actions at all.
“After looking at the situation in the Earldom of Roxfield, I will go back to the Liberia Elves right away.”
“Is it… ! Oh, I see!”
Alphonse hurriedly nodded his head.
If you go to Liberia Elf Country, you can escape from the miserable life in the kingdom and enjoy a prosperous life. He seemed to think so.
What a foolish hope.
Yushin laughed at the sight of Alphonse flirting.
But he didn’t show it.
It was because the situation could become difficult if Alphonse went on a rampage.
He is full of false hopes,
He has to head to the Liberia elven country on his own.
And he, along with the Crown Prince and Princess, will be judged by the Elves.
