Chapter 34: 022 Merry Christmas! -1

I frowned deeply after alternating aze between the ed away in the distance

I was definitely ai for the bastard’s head Unfortunately, the obstacles and the distance ensured that the trajectory of the bullet would be alteredI said earlier became a reality instead

“In the end, I failed to kill it, huh”

The Vae

However, seeing as it was in that condition, that thing should have so the undead aratherhard and I felt really dizzy

“I guess I bought us some time, then”

At the very least, we had soroup and think about our options

I also needed tiy drinks

“By the way…”

When I turned my head around, I realised that everyone’s eyes were focused onso quiet?”

I could only frohile feeling their gazes landed on me

The soldiers and convicts, the feudal lord Jenald who arrived on the scene a o, Charlotte and Har at htly shut

(TL: Back to 3rd person POV)

The sun had set and it was now nighttime

Harman stood alone on top of the outer walls He was intently staring at the enemy’s camp in the distance, at where the Va their time He was supposed to think about how they would attack the fortress again and what he should do to counter it However, hiselse

A day had already passed since the battle, and all the wounded soldiers were fully healed by the Priests and holy water Harman was stunned to learn that, with the exception of serious injuries, everyone had recovered to ‘full health’

‘This isn’t any ordinary holy water’

He looked at the bottle of holy water in his hand This shest-quality holy water that could only be created when a high-ranking Priest gathered divinity for a day and night nonstop

Just one bottle would be enough to cure dozens upon dozens And he was told that the Iave it to the priests

‘Not only that, it’s quite high in concentration too’

The holy water was diluted with regular water before being distributed, saving a hundred-plus lives in the process This was all thanks to the I?”

Harman had a lot of questions for the prince

Even if the Spirit Speech incident could be chalked up as coincidence, he definitely had to inquire about where this highest-grade holy water came from

Could it be that… the prince himself hness possesses such abilities But…’

The Imperial Prince did snipe the Va with Goddess Gaia’s divine protection to boot

It seemed that the other Priests didn’t know the truth yet Well, he did try to conceal his identity with a mask, so that couldn’t be helped

In all honesty, even Harht that maybe, the man who sniped the Vampire wasn’t the I Priest

‘No… that isn’t it’

That girl named Charlotte definitely called the sniper ‘Imperial Prince-nim’ A child who served the prince wouldn’t be mistaken about the one she looked after in that situation

‘Besides, it also seems that Charlotte isn’t an ordinary child either’

She knew of the imperial swordsmanshi+p When he asked her where she learned it from…

– “I learned it from a book”

…Was her reply She obviously didn’t tell him the truth

Harman could only chuckle bitterly

She learned it by reading a book?

Lies

Suchfro out loud

Here was the swords all sorts of brilliant techniques One needed to possess a requisite sense of balance, physical strength, as well as quick reactions in order to move like that

A person would need to at least train for many years to reach where she was

Har in this swordsmanshi+p style for quite some time now And it couldn’t have been a si the Imperial Prince from his side

‘Have they known each other for a while?’

He wondered if a loyal retainer of the seventh Imperial Prince secretly inserted her here for the boy’s sake

‘If that’s true… then the girl’s father, Gril, can’t be an ordinary ht currently on an undercover ation earlier, Har in the Land of the Dead Spirits for ue, which resulted in Gril adopting her as his daughter afterwards

It would be tough to ers like that

Har seemed to be a ed is strange as well’

Indeed, the prince hiot exiled and experienced an assassination atteed after ‘losing’ his ot about his trauo’

The mother of the First and the Seventh Imperial Princes, Yulisia She was a coe, and not only that, a dom down south too

Aslan was at odds with the Theocratic E many wars in the past several hundred years

Since she carried the bloodline froazes from the rest of the Imperial Family directed in her way couldn’t be described as warm in any shape or form

Such a woman fell in love with the son of the Holy Eave birth to the First Imperial Prince

Naturally, the opposition fro point being, the Crown Prince had chosen a commoner rather than someone from the other noble families There was also the fact that the blood of the Aslan kingdo only half

Most ireed with their sentiments

In the end, the Crown Prince, the son of the Holy Emperor, had no choice but to accept two other ladies frouished bloodlines as his concubines He did this all in order to appease the voracious opposition froyave birth to many more Imperial Princes and Princesses The first wife, Yulisia, eventually gave life to the Seventh Imperial Prince

In the year that the boy turned ten years old

On a certain snowy night, the mother of both the First and Seventh Imperial Princes, Yulisia, was the victim of a ‘Vaarden

The First Prince ed to narrowly escape death, but still suffered a curse of de his heart Meanwhile, Yulisia tried to protect the Seventh Prince, only to be torn limb from limb before the boy’s very eyes

His beloved rew deathly ill The young Seventh Prince suffered a huge mental trauma on that day and basically lost his entle personality grew up into an easily-scared and distrusting boy, one who also enjoyed belittling others around hiana incident reverted hiinal personality?’

No… even then, there were several strange points to consider

Fro powerful divinity were completely unrelated to each other

‘I definitely heard that the noble named Heis insulted Charlotte, and the Ier’

The prince wouldn’t havehim was insulted

However, the keywords of ‘lowly co on the cold floor’ – both of them applied to the Seventh Imperial Prince’s mother, Yulisia

Could it be that the prince beca Heis to a pulp?

When Harman asked him, the boy simply smiled and replied, ‘Just because’, but…

‘Could it be that he didn’t lose histo his instincts?’

Alternatively, it was also possible that the boy was using the pretext of amnesia to divert the Imperial Family’s attention away from hi like that?
