Chapter 195: 104 Rose Darina
A carriage was passing through a coarse road in the countryside
The skeleton horses neighed roughly every ti clunked noisily At the sa the vehicle fro their best to lend support to each other
Their number hovered around two hundred
At first, there were only around one hundred people but the nu little by little whenever the procession went past a village
The survivors begged and pleaded to be saved, and after personally experiencing the ‘rievances and dissatisfaction to silently join the procession
Every once in a while, they sneaked glances at the Seventh Iazes were filled to the brim with awe
Charlotte observed the behaviours of the refugees and couldn’t help but feel complicated inside
The Inani once upon a time, had transforly everyone now
She felt gratified and proud that she had been the first person to see his true nature before anybody else But on the other hand, she beca further away froel, the Saint And even the divine king…’
Those were the new titles people called hier, but at the sa further away froaze back to Allen He was currently riding on the skeleton horse and not inside the carriage like usual, after saying that he’d like to get so on the undead creature, he spotted a dead crow on the road and commanded one of his skeletons to pick it up for him
Allen placed his hand on the dead bird and injected divinity into it
Wiggle…
The crow opened its eyes and began flapping its wings He had revived the creature as an undead
Feeling curious now, Charlotte asked Allen about it “Is that a zombified crow?”
“Yeah Necrouys as either scouts or to send letters to others”
The Imperial Prince took out a s of the zo it to fly
The crow beat its wings and fleay
Charlotte asked again “Where are you sending it to, your highness?”
“To my oldest brother and father”
“…?”
“We no that the kingdom of Lome is involved with Rose’sin a co ht end up being toyed around by the schemes of Rose and the Va to ion of the Theocratic Eh Allen’s authority alone wouldn’t be enough toLuan should do the trick
“Does that er intervene in Loe’s door open and peeked outside, asking urgently
The carriage should’ve been sealed pretty tightly, yet the First Prince seemed to have eavesdropped on the conversation between Allen and Charlotte
“It’s just a stopgapmore Also…” The Seventh Imperial Prince stared at Barus and continued on “The two opposing ca for a little while”
The two ca to the Second Prince, Derian – had been fighting this battle for supre all of a sudden wouldn’t be an easy task at all, but it should still be possible to halt the warfare for a little while if the Theocratic Ely pressured both parties involved
Barus’s eyes opened ested that he didn’t expect the Seventh Idom of Lome
Allen continued on, “If not, the Theocratic Eet worse”
This whole incident was deeply connected to the Vaon slayer, had retired frodo shelter to Rose while hiding themselves in Lome, then the empire would never let this situation quietly slide by
After all, the Theocratic E up for the possible invasion of the Vampires, and as such, it was inevitable that any matters related to the undead would receive its full attention
In the worst possible scenario, the eth army would cross the border between the two nations Barus ell aware of this point
“I want the two caation comes to an end”
Barus could only nod sloith a slightly-dazed face at Allen’s ‘suggestion’
The First Prince of Loain for a while now, so this neas indeed a good one for hiees as well
While listening to the Seventh Imperial Prince, Charlotte looked up at hiees even now
‘I was right’
The villagers up in the northern frontier, the fiefdom of Ronia, First Imperial Prince Luan, and both Humite and Aslan – and even the Third Imperial Prince, Ruppel
Even if one could label his emotion as ‘pity’, he still found all sorts of excuses as his ‘justification’ to help them out
He couldn’t pretend to not see the people suffering from hardshi+ps
And that hy all those people had become captivated by him
Luan, Hilda, Harman, the Holy Emperor, and all those countless subjects of the empire…
From their perspective, Seventh Imperial Prince Allen really did come across as the saviour sent by the Goddess herself At least, that’s what she believed
Charlotte clenched her fists tightly
‘Just a little bit et closer to hiet stronger
She still needed more power
(TL: In 1st person POV)
I was confident that when my letter reached Luan and White, the empire’s forces would immediately cease all intervention-type ‘activities’ in Lodo in order to not piss off the Theocratic Empire, and to prevent any sudden about-turn in the edom’s leadershi+p would do their absolute best to find out Rose’s current whereabouts
I glanced at the refugees following us
All thanks to the effects of the Aztal rune, it seereat boost Even though the sanctuary declaration duration had ended soetic Oh, and their bodies were fully healed as well
However, a proble water could be dealt withfood was another headache altogether
It’d be tough for these folks to travel for long
But then, while staring at the refugees, I felt soone up compared to before? And for so back ateyes?
What the heck? Now that’s a bit unco their eyes I could sense all those gazes pricking nored theht And with this, Barus noed ees, I even gave him a thin thread of hope that he could hold onto as well For the sake of his kingdom’s future survival, he now had no choice but to wholeheartedly support ation into the Rose Darina incident
“How o?”
When I asked that question, one of the escorting knights flinched a little in surprise and quickly looked at ht, as apparently named Sir Himel, looked up at me with respectful eyes “We should arrive at our destination very soon, Lord Saint”
Saint, is it…? Wow, it sure has been a while since so this, our procession reached the section of the highway located on the top of a hill, and almost immediately, a silhouette of a distant fiefdom could be spotted way over yonder
It was surrounded by es, and in the centre of them all, a fortress stood tall
There it was, the village named Benice as mentioned by the leader of the revolutionary araze over to hiht then Oh, the First Prince of Lootta do from this moment on
“It’s tiation”
I needed to get properly started on searching for Rose’s whereabouts
