Chapter 47: 030 I a Banquet -1 (Part One)

I really did try to escape

However, I siardeners showed up belatedly and freaked out after discovering that their Holy Earden As for me, I was quickly ‘shown’ to the iainst e number of Paladins were all lined up on either side of the hu aristocrats andstares at aze fixed to er kitted out in the shabby clothing from earlier Nope, he was now properly dressed as the Holy Emperor; a crown perched on his head, and a luxurious white robe laced with golden engravings adorning his figure

While sitting on an iood look at htly to the side “It has been a while Seventh Imperial Prince, Allen Olfolse”

At those words, I ended up sneaking a glance to st themselves

“…Is it really true that he hunted a vampire down?”

“The Seventh Imperial Prince did what? How?”

“From what I heard, the vay easily as great as a count, no,it wouldn’t have been enough to quell the thing It’s rather obvious that the ar the deed”

“However, aren’t Ronia’s citizens raising their voices of support for the prince?”

“A hidden expert or someone like that must’ve been responsible It’s quite clear that the Imperial Prince merely snatched this achieveinations of this world’s denizens seemed pretty robust

Since I had no idea what the correct decorum of the Imperial Court was in the first place, that left me deeply troubled on what to do next

The Holy E his mouth, “I was informed that you have successfully hunted a vaht, so… How should I answer hi in Laurensis, the capital city of the Theocratic Empire

Since the shoppers in the ain” in their conversations, it should be pretty safe to assume that the Imperial Fa in the city

Honestly speaking, there was a higher chance of this occasion being a ruse to find out if I was ‘so ed That’s what I thought, anyway

Besides, there was already an air of suspicion on whether or not Harman and I had really hunted that vampire down, anyway

“…Yes, it is true, your et to make a troubled expression and lower my face at the same time “It’s just that, I alone could have never hunted down a creature like that in a h the aid of countless others I can only thank Har, and additionally, the numerous citizens of the Ronia fiefdoe the truth, sure, but I also needed to make it someone else’s achievement at the same time The only people itnessed me take out the Vampire Count in person were Charlotte and Harman However, many did see me snipe the undead creature fro to lie, I needed to mix in some truths in there

A surprised expression floated up on the Holy Emperor’s face He then rubbed his chin, al “Oh, so it was all thanks to other people, is that it?”

“Of course, your majesty It is all thanks to their hard work that I stand before you still alive and in one piece Also, that’s hoe got to prevent the ‘Tide of Death’ as well”

“…I see”

The Holy Eue thoughts

He glanced in the direction of the aristocrats, as well as his loyal retainers They weresneers in my way

-So thatit down?

-Who helped what now? He was probably hiding in the corner of a roo was over

-However, some hidden expert must’ve used powerful divinity, for sure I heard that the feudal lord Jenald identified him as the I a mask, so it’s not possible for anyone to identify the true identity of that hidden expert

Although I did expect the cold shoulder treatine that this level of mockery and contempt would be directed in my way

It seemed that the Seventh Imperial Prince was despised by pretty much everyone around here

Around then, one of the retainers as studying the uneasy atmosphere cautiously made his way towards the Holy E in the latter’s ear, proaze in my direction oncetired froood rest”

I thought I’d be interrogated to death or so today, but the Holy Emperor didn’t pursue the matter anyhed with relief and turned around to leave, but before exiting the grand hall, I decided to ask just in case, “Ah, and by the way, right here in Laurensis…”

Everyone’s gaze focused on me This also included the Holy Emperor’s, his expression one of puzzlement

I addressed the issue at hand “There’s a va about that The citizens are living in fear”

What I said caused the emperor’s expression to stiffen up Not to mention, the atmosphere in the hall had become icy cold in an instant too
