Chapter 48: 030 I a Banquet -1 (Part Two)

Holy Eed his forehead

The thought process of these people were too biased With how ot to the day of his abdication, the easier it becas of the nobles They were doing it all in order to win over the ‘heir apparent to the Holy Emperor’

As for Archbishop Raphael, someone who staunchlyhimself in his roo face of the Seventh Imperial Prince

‘…Who should I listen to in moments like this?’

-Have you eaten yet, your majesty? I’ve prepared some sandwiches, so would you like to…

Holy Emperor Kelt Olfolse slowly opened his eyes He ended up recalling the First Crown Princess Consort, a woht as a lowborn, and was even treated as such

‘Yulisia…’

He could only lick his lips in bitterness after recalling her always-s face

The First Irew up under her gentle wings, was a smart kid and possessed the disposition of a benevolent and wise king

However, since his life could end any day now, the throne could not be handed over to hihts reached that far He should’ve been randson so he couldn’t help but feel that it was truly selfish of hi of the citizens living in this vast empire, instead

‘That doesn’t mean I can relinquish my throne to the other princes, however’

There were lowly and disgusting va within the Theocratic Eed to infiltrate society of the living while hiding behind the s In order to stop them, someone with a suitable level of qualification had to become the emperor

-Ah, and by the way, there see about that The citizens are living in fear

Before exiting the grand hall, the Seventh Imperial Prince said this He sounded as if he had seen the ‘vampire’ in question already

Kelt Olfolse shi+fted his gaze

Most of the nobles were still sneering at the Seventh I over so from their current expressions

These aristocrats knew the truth They knew that there was a va in the midst of this ‘Imperial Court’

‘Maybe there’s still a chance’

What if Just what if…

What if the Seventh Imperial Prince still possessed a tiny little speck of talent to succeed as the emperor…?

And what if the boy also possessed the power to eradicate the vampires too? Would it be the correct decision to relinquish the throne to the boy if that was the case?

“This loyal servant wishes to address hisoffence”

So within his thoughts

Thefrom his fellow retainers and cautiously stepped out fronised who it was and a smile naturally floated up on his lips

It was a noble crimson hair and red eyes – Count Fomor

He was also one of the forces that supported Yulisia’s son, the First Imperial Prince Luan

Fo up, “There is still plenty of tiest that a ation be launched into thisis in two hness the Seventh Imperial Prince remain in the capital for that day, your majesty”

His words caused a deep frown to etch on the faces of the other aristocrats On the other hand, a grin formed on the ehness the Seventh Imperial Prince wishes to return to the Land of the Dead Spirits in order to reflect on his sins However, this servant is of the opinion that his highness has already atoned for his pastdown a vampire” Count Forin “And as such, est a celebratory banquet to honour those who have rendered meritorious services in Ronia?”

Kelt Olfolse nodded his head

It was indeed too premature to make up his mind on the Seventh Ih proximity, so that he could be carefully ht that it wasn’t such a bad idea to personally listen to feudal lord Jenald Ripang’s accounts as well

“Then, let it be so”

“Inscrutable are the emperor’s favours” [1]

Kelt Olfolse decided that the fate of the Seventh I the banquet In other words, whether he should extend the banishment, or to let the boy remain in the imperial palace for further observation

(TL: back to 1st person POV)

Living a life of a prince in the imperial palace was far ined

For the past week or so, I stayed in a room that would put any seven-star hotel to sha on the bed, riined that the life of a prince would be this exquisite?
