The emperor’s eyes were closed inside this silence He then softly spoke as if he was talking to himself
“…I shall reduce the term of banishment for the Seventh Imperial Prince, Allen Olfolse The ht back to the imperial palace immediately I shall converse with him in person”
Archbishop Raphael Astoria’s brows rose up higher at that declaration He see to say, but the Holy Eyman

A gentle light illue of the bed, his whole figure wrapped tightly in bloodied bandages
Although it was not easy to guess the young e, based on either his physique or voice, he could’ve been anywhere between hness the First Imperial Prince?”

“That is indeed so, your…”
Luan suddenly reached up and grabbed Harlare burned fiercely “You dared to speak up for that trash who caused our acy? You fool! Are you insane?! What’s wrong?

The vaeted Yulisia and both of her children If either the First or the Seventh showed any signs of escaping, then the undead creature would’ve hunted them down first
Since that was the case, the correct decision was to send Harman away and seek help from more Paladins Of course, Yulisia was already dead and the First Prince was struck by the curse of ‘leprosy’ by the time they arrived, but still…
Harhness Do you…”
Luan shi+fted his gaze back to the Paladin
