The Necromancer Commands Slaves, Not Undeads - Chapter 49



49 – Soirée (5)

“I meet His Highness Julian von Russell-Wittenberg, 3rd Prince of the Empire and descendant of great emperors. I understand the situation we are in. “What you’ve given me is not enough, and you’ve given me the opportunity to see you in person, so I don’t know what to do.”

I was the first among the group to greet the crystal ball. Then Dorothy and the Golden Lion also politely bowed to the crystal ball.

“It is an honor to meet you, Your Highness.”

Although it was a formal greeting, the Third Prince seemed to like our polite attitude, as he seemed excited in the voice over the phone.

“Yes. It is not a common opportunity to have an audience with Jim like this. He knows everything about the Golden Lion’s painful suffering after being wronged, and even the reason why you had no choice but to turn him into a psychopath. . I know that the Golden Lion never molested his sister.”

The reason the golden lion was cornered was because her princess had accused him of being innocent, but the reason her princess bit her golden lion was because her prince had turned her into her vampire.

Accordingly, the prince also took up a share. However, seeing them say they were helping out as if they were being generous, I was honestly disgusted.

Poor Golden Lion… This guy and that guy, they all just wanted to take advantage of him.

“As you said at the trial, Jim’s sister is a vampire. A vampire is a monster that lives by sucking human blood. I, like you, are the only ones in the empire who know that fact!”

The prince continued his story with indignation, as if he was very sad.

“However, everyone, including His Majesty the Emperor, does not know the truth! They do not know the true nature of the clever and wicked sister. They only look at the achievements she has made and praise her! One day, Jim will reveal the truth about his sister to the whole world. “I plan to pay!”

The prince’s story continued smoothly.

“Golden Lion, his defender, why don’t you come with me and let the empire know the truth! If you do that, your name will naturally be cleared and the injustice done to your sister will be resolved!”

As soon as the prince finished speaking, the green snake’s gaze reached us. It didn’t matter what answer I gave the prince here.

Anyway, since he was confirmed to be the culprit, all I had to do was inform the princess of the fact, and there was nothing left for me to do here.

But one question remained here. That’s why I decided to ask a question rather than an answer.

“Your Royal Highness, before answering, may I ask you two questions at the risk of being rude?”

“Allowed.”

“I would like to ask why the Prince knows that His Royal Highness the Princess is a vampire.”

There was a long silence in Amethyst for a moment. And the prince stuttered his words to answer the question.

“Well, that’s because Jim saw his sister sucking blood from another person.”

“Who is that?”

“Why on earth are you asking that?”

“If I were to share a common cause with His Highness the Prince, I thought that the more information I could know, the more helpful ideas I would be able to think of.”

There was silence again. It seems that it takes a long time to come up with words.

“He was a young servant who worked at the imperial palace…”

“If she’s alive, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try to contact her.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then, this is the last question. Her Royal Highness is a descendant of the imperial family. Everyone knows that. Do you know why Her Highness became a vampire?”

In conversation with the green snake, I was informed that the condition for becoming a vampire is to drink the blood of a vampire leader called Predator.

The clan was not widely known, at least within the empire. The only people who know about the clan so far are those who worked as servers and servants of the vampires, such as the Golden Lion, Green Snake, Black Wolf, and Morse.

Therefore, it can be inferred that it is a fairly secretive group. I thought there was no reason for them to take the high risk of touching the princess of the empire by giving blood to the third prince without any reason.

Why was the prince able to have Predator blood?

Is it really just the prince who turned the princess into a vampire?

This time too, there was a long silence. This guy really stands out in every lie he tells.

“Well, I don’t even know about that.”

I was curious about the green snake. If he were a close friend and colleague of the golden lion and the black wolf, he would have the eyes to choose a master…

“Okay, I understand. My question is over.”

As someone who has spoken with him so far, my opinion is that the prince was not as intimidating, charming, or charismatic as Princess Amelia.

The golden lion took over next. He spoke with the formality of a mercenary who worked in the capital. The Golden Lion promised on the spot that he would help the prince and reveal the truth about the princess. The prince was satisfied.

The prince said that two days later, he would reveal his full plan at that location. He was considerate and not considerate, saying that if you don’t have a place to go, you can stay there.

With those words, communication between the crystal spheres was cut off. That’s how the interview with the criminal ended.

“Then I’ll see you again in two days. Golden Lion, I’ll see you again then too.”

When the green snake finished its business, it bowed its head and said goodbye to us.

“Okay, then I’ll see you again in two days.”

“Goodbye.”

The green snake left.

When he saw that he had completely disappeared from this place, he slowly opened his mouth.

“I’m a little concerned. Dorothy, please keep an eye on the green snake from now on. I will watch the golden lion from this location and contact the princess.”

“Yes, master, will you be okay on your own? If that guy has other thoughts…”

“I will beat you up then.”

“Okay.”

Dorothy stared at the golden lion. There was murder in his eyes.

“I’m barehanded right now! Since I’m a self-proclaimed wizard, I’m sure I can defeat an unarmed person!”

“Try even one thing to touch my master. Then I will show you what hell is.”

Dorothy gave a firm warning to the golden lion and quickly chased after the green snake.

“I’ve been wondering from the beginning, is that child a slave?”

“I’m an assistant. But I’m planning to sort out my title soon.”

“Huh, really?”

“What is that greasy gaze…?”

The golden lion opened his eyes and crossed his arms in a relaxed manner.

“I just like looking at it~ There was a time when I was young and fresh like you.”

It was as if the attitude was looking down from above, which made me strangely angry.

The golden lion chuckled, but then his expression hardened.

“You mean the green snake… It must be difficult to live with, right?”

“It may depend on how Her Majesty the Princess disposes of Her Majesty the Prince from now on… I don’t know.”

“I see.”

The green snake was on the prince’s side and the princess’s enemy. The chances of Princess Amelia keeping him alive seemed low. I turned on the fire.

“Now, all we have to do is convey the information to Her Highness the Princess, and our work is roughly finished. Thank you for your hard work so far.”

“Yes, you have worked hard too. As soon as this is completely over, I will make a place for you with the Exitium Clan.”

“Before that, there’s one more thing you need to do. Please tell me the location of the Autumn Witch.”

There was still one thing that bothered me, but I had almost finished the work the princess had asked me to do.

In other words, the golden lion is now free. It was time for her to get what she had promised him.

“Five years ago, the Autumn Witch resolved the epidemic in the capital and headed to the northern part of the empire. Rumors say she entered a certain ruin, but that’s all I know.”

It was too hot to be called information. I looked at the golden lion with cold, salty eyes.

“Well, the reason we became a cooperative relationship was because of something related to the Accitium Clan. Thank you for telling me at least this much.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Anyway, it was 5 years ago… I might have finished my business by now and headed to another place.

“Then please rest here.”

After talking with the Golden Lion, I went up to the ground through the stairs in the basement.

I looked at the ruined village. If the village’s people disappeared five years ago, would this village, which is not far from the capital, have been included in the aftermath of the epidemic?

Because the basement seemed like a quarantine place.

I looked at the darkening sky. At the end of the horizon, the red sun was burning its last light.

I waited quietly in that spot until it was completely dark. Then birds began to fly from the sky.

The bird was not an ordinary bird. It was the size of a sparrow, but its entire body was made of stone, and its eyes had purple gems.

It was Maria’s golem. It was a golem created for communication purposes to communicate over long distances.

It was decided to exchange information with the princess every evening for the time being.

Jijijik- Jijijik- Noise flowed from the mechanical bird. The crystal ball used to communicate with the prince earlier was also purple.

“Hello.”

“Communication has finally been established. How is the situation there?”

“Nothing happened. Well, we found the culprit. The culprit is the 3rd prince…”

“That’s not the problem now, it’s a complete emergency!”

Maria’s voice coming from beyond the mechanical bird was urgent. Just as she was wondering what the hell was going on, Maria uttered the following words:

“Her Royal Highness has disappeared!”
