Chapter 171 - 092. Kasim Derian (2/2)

The nobles and the priests all went rigid in their bowing posture

Meanwhile, the Seventh Imperial Prince stood up froht past them, the sounds of his footsteps softened by the red carpet below

The holy undead knights scattered away as brilliant light particles dissipated from existence

Harman broke away from the ranks of the nobles and followed the Seventh Imperial Prince out the door

Only after those two had left the audience cha – that this occasion was supposed to be the prince’s inquisition…!

They had cootten about it

All they could do noas to belatedly turn their heads and stare dazedly at the doorway the Seventh Imperial Prince used to exit

(TL: In 1st person POV)

I glanced at the shut doorway to the audience cha that, I couldn’t help but notice theto hit me from every corner of my body, which forced an unhappy tut to leak out of le branch isn’t as effective as the actual world tree itself”

I was already acclimatised to Amon’s skull to soed to withstand its backlash despite borrowing the power of the world tree’s branch

Oh well… At least it’s perfectly usable during short bursts, so there’s that

I started walking down the corridor while feeling slightly rueful, and Harman followed , your highness”

“What was?”

I glanced back at hi to how you yhness Not only that, you…”

Haraze towards one of the palace’s s The holy undead legion stationed at the palace’s plaza was dissipating ahile scattering brilliant ht

Despite the late hours, the subjects of the eates and outer walls They were all kneeling and still praying with their hands held tightly before theed to captivate the subjects as well”

“I got the idea after re what happened back in Aslan, you see”

I recalled what happened during the fight against Nasus the Lich, the leader of the Black Order More specifically, what he said back then

He said the existence of the holy undead was h to make him question his own beliefs

In addition, all of the slaves held captive in the teel’ and worshi+pped rim reaper version of Nasus

My ‘could it work?’ idea turned out to be the right answer

The holy undead ht be disharmonious existences to the denizens of this world, but there’s no doubt that they also possessed aand sacred aura

Such creatures had uardians of the Ied with the protection of the e to see the masses mistakenly believe that the holy undead were indeed an army sent by the Goddess

“Soon enough, your highness?” Harraved deep within a person’s heart, won’t change so easily”

“Faith my foot I’m neither a God nor a Saint”

I decided to not pay too much heed to what he said

With this, the only re business at hand was to enjoy my much-deserved break

We finally reached the doorway to ently and bowing her head to me She must’ve arrived here ahead of us and waited

She spoke up, “Thank you for your hard work, your highness”

“Hey, thanks for your help earlier”

I expressed ratitude to her It was due to her efforts that I didn’t run into any friction with the Paladins guarding the city’s gate

Charlotte opened the door to ht at that uess it’ll get very busy for you soon, your highness”

“Busy hat?”

I turned my head and stared at Harman

He replied with a wry smile on his face “The matter with the Church of Caiolium, of course They will not surrender, after all”

“Probably But what does that have to do with me?”

The Holy E the matter with the Church of Caiolium all by himself Now that the opposition frohly taken care of, I figured no one would her-ups after the latter group unwisely decided to not surrender

That’s what I thought

But then, Harhness, didn’t you say it yourself?”

“…?”

My head suddenly became blank after his question hit me in the brain Because, I had abruptly recalled what I said back in the audience chaate the Church of Caioliu to say at the moment?

I mean, if it’s the Holy Emperor’s army, they should easily be able to…

“…Ah”

WuxiaWorldS i t e Only

Huh I made a seriously stupid mistake just now, didn’t I?

Which was…

-If anyone wishes to oppose me, they shall die at the hands of the holy army that they fear so much

That state to personally step forward and subjugate the Church of Caiolium
