Chapter 49: 031 I a Banquet -2 (Part One)

I was puzzled by the question froirl with blonde hair and blue eyes

She didn’t see since she started working here or soaze over to the book she had been reading

[Treatment and the Impossible Miracle, Resurrection]

The title sounded a lot like a topic I used to read somewhere else Raphael Astoria probably wrote this book as well

What a good granddaughter she was, to be studying deep into the night like this The grih-levelled one too This just went to sholedgeable Raphael Astoria’s granddaughter was

“It seeranddaughter,” said I while approaching her

She flinched and hurriedly stepped away froilance

What she did was a rather i to an Imperial Prince like myself She must’ve realised this too, because she belatedly bowed her head and acted according to the established decoruriain

[Resurrection], was it?

That sure sounded like an interesting topic

I then shi+fted“Ah Looks like I interrupted you”

“No, not at all, your highness I was already thinking of tidying up and retiring for the night”

She bowed her head deeply

Her desire to avoid me as much as possible came across pretty loud and clear froain, ‘I’ had the prior record of trying to juhter of a famed noble household It ainst ht”

I wavedthrough the griht The book was talking about resurrection through divinity, not dey as how Necromancers would do it

I muttered out, “Resurrection, is it? Doesn’t sound like it’ll be completely impossible, actually”

“…No, it’s i

The girl as about to exit the doorway had stoppedand turned around to say that She flinched in surprise, then hurriedly bowed her head again “Please forgive hness”

“What’s your basis?”

“I beg your pardon?”

The lady-in-waiting, Alice, raised her head and forhtly dazed expression on her face

I pressed hard on the griertip and asked her once more “What’s your basis for what you just said?”

“…It’s because, despite divinity’s ability to bestow lifeforce, it can only restore the body but not arrest the soul that has already escaped fro will be irants us with a miracle”

“What if you can ‘arrest’ the soul, then?”

“But… doing that is ihness The only way toNecromancy, but that is of a coet that However… what if you possess both natures?”

“That is utterly impossible These two natures are in direct opposition to each other Even if you do y at the same time, your body will explode and you will be exterminated completely Not even your soul will survive frole shred of hesitation in her voice

“I wonder about that… It looks tocalled ‘resurrection’ isn’t completely impossible”

My response caused her brows to furrow deeply

I flipped through the grily no one in particular “What about an even better divinity controlprayers to the Gods should suffice, your highness”

“Besides praying?”

“For icians, Mana and incantations For Priests, divinity and prayers, while for the dark y and lifespan Those are the costs one has to pay in order to wield the powers of nature If you seek another route beside offering prayers, then there are ic tools you can consider”

If there was so I was curious about, I would si to ic while o the necessary preparations”

“Yes It is possible, your highness Incantations and prayers are there to correctly arrange the sequence of the iet to omit those preparations, but it is not the reat ay or to lower the expenditure However, there is an exception…”

My question was answered ably by Alice Astoria, who just so happened to be still standing far away from me

“…If you are blessed with literally an infinite amount of divinity that can deal with all problems that arise fro and wield the powers of nature at will”
