Solo Eating to Overpowered Chapter 27

Episode 27 The prince returns to his home country.

=======================

In the throne room of the Holy Emperor, paladins are lined up on the left and right. Behind them, high-ranking priests, brothers of the Holy Emperor, and nobles were gathered in a row.

They gathered to hear about the incident that occurred in the ‘Land of the Dead’.

But the story Harmon told was different from what they wanted.

The nobles looked shocked and fell silent.

“…The prince hunts vampires?”

“Is there anyone among the princes of the Holy Imperial Family who has been dispatched to the land of the Four Spirits?”

Whispers are heard among the nobles.

The children of the Holy Family looked at each other.

They shook their heads as if it wasn’t them.

“…If you say prince, are you referring to the 7th prince, Allen Allpols?”

Seonghwang finally opened his mouth.

The nobles, who did not dare to smile in front of the Holy Emperor, shook their heads.

However, he showed a faint smile as if he had heard a funny joke.

-7th prince?

-Is that possible? You’re lucky if you don’t end up peeing in the corner of the room.

“So it is.”

The nobles frowned at Harman’s words.

The brothers of the Seonghwang family also narrowed their eyes.

Paladin Harman raised his head from his bowed position and looked into the Holy Emperor’s eyes.

His mouth was tightly shut like a mute, and his eyes were wide open.

I could guess what he was thinking.

I’m sure you won’t believe it.

A foolish prince who was exiled for raping a maid catches a vampire?

If Harmon hadn’t seen it in person, he wouldn’t have believed it.

“Harman. I thought you were an ephemeral and pure saint. But I guess not. “You are now…”

The successful Celt Olfols frowned, showing a hint of displeasure.

“…are you walking on a tightrope? Damn it…”

“Hmm…”

A coughing sound was heard next to Seonghwang.

An old man in a white coat who appeared to be in his mid to late 70s was standing holding a ranch.

It must have been to suppress words that degrade the dignity of the Seonghwang family.

The Holy Emperor looked at the archbishop next to him with dissatisfaction, but then turned his gaze back to Haman.

“Are you supporting the 7th Prince now?”

Although he didn’t say it out loud, it was probably an answer to the question of whether he was planning to join the 7th Prince.

Harmon smiled bitterly.

‘After all, blood is thicker than water.’

I think he might be my grandson through blood.

He was exactly the same as the prince who lost his personality and memories.

“No. “I’m just telling you the truth.”

The successful Celt All Falls looked down on Harmon.

The eyes full of conviction did not waver one bit.

A paladin who was there to protect the old Yulicia.

It is unlikely that he has ‘another mind’.

“…What do you think, Archbishop?”

Harmon looked at the archbishop.

Raphael Astoria.

He is a being who can be seen as one of the top ten authorities in the Holy Empire.

Additionally, there was a history of the 7th prince almost raping his granddaughter.

“This cannot happen.”

His remarks are equivalent to Harman’s meaning of lies.

Harmon gritted his teeth.

It’s natural.

Defending the bastard prince couldn’t have been easy.

“but···.”

Raphael gritted his teeth.

I guess he was angry because he remembered the 7th prince trying to rape his granddaughter.

Still, he spoke with no emotion.

“…There are reports that the people of Ronia are supporting the 7th Prince. “Some people call him a saint.”

At that moment, someone’s laughter was heard from the throne room.

The place where the sound came from was where the princes of the Seonghwang family were.

Among them, the 3rd prince realized his mistake and kept his mouth shut.

He swallowed dry saliva and lowered his head to admit his mistake.

Archbishop Raphael continued speaking.

“Also, it is true that there was a strange aura that His Majesty the Holy Emperor saw in Ronia, so I think we should investigate it in detail.”

“Are you claiming that is the power of the 7th Prince?”

“That’s not it. “I just want to prevent the 7th Prince from hogging someone else’s credit.”

“…Right.”

Seonghwang Celt said to Harman.

“You must be credited with protecting the Baina Ronia territory, where it is difficult to determine whether your report is false or true.”

Celt Allfaults said, lightly raising his hand.

“I will grant the title of earldom to Viscount Gerald Lipang, the lord of the Lonia territory, and grant a small territory in the northwest to Harmon Diane. also···.”

Celt lowered his hand. He was silent for a while.

In the silence, Seonghwang quietly closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

“…We will shorten the period of exile for 7th Prince Allen Allpols. Let him return to the imperial palace as soon as he is fully healed. “I will speak to him directly.”

Archbishop Raphael’s eyes widened.

He tried to say something, but the saintly Celt raised his hand and cut him off.

“Do you have any objections? Harmon.”

“I don’t have any.”

Harman bowed his head at the words of the prosperous Kelt.

* *

The next place Harman visited was a secluded room in a corner of the imperial palace.

As he opened the door and entered, he heard a familiar voice.

“…Is it Harman?”

“That’s right. majesty.”

Even though it was broad daylight, the room with the curtains blocking the window was dark.

Harmon lit the candle in the candlestick on the shelf.

A man could be seen among the soft lights.

A person is sitting on a bed with his entire body covered in bloody bandages.

It is difficult to estimate his age, but based on his size and voice, he could be considered to be a man in his mid to late 20s.

“Have you been healthy so far? “First Prince.”

Ruan Olfols, son of Yulicia and older brother of the 7th Prince.

He said, glaring at Harmon.

“health? Haha, you’re telling a funny joke. Harmon. You know very well what state I am in. Yes, I am alive now. I’m spending my life suffering from a terrible curse. “It wouldn’t be strange if I died today or tomorrow.”

“…”

1st Prince Luan was ‘cursed’ in the heart.

Magical energy was penetrating his heart, lingering there, and eating away at his life force.

As the skin rotted away, all senses in the body gradually became paralyzed.

The sense of touch, smell and taste were lost, and now even vision and hearing were declining.

Because the heart contains magic, even treatment is impossible.

He was gradually becoming a dying corpse.

“I heard that you defended the 7th prince.”

“That’s right…”

Harmon’s collar was grabbed.

The 1st prince opened his eyes and glared at him.

“You’re defending that scum who killed and humiliated my mother? Are you sane? Why did you even think of begging that guy if you knew I wouldn’t survive? haha! Well, I stood in the wrong line. “There’s no way a bastard like that could become prosperous…!”

The first prince was startled and loosened his collar.

Although he only applied force for a moment, blood burst from his hand and dripped.

Luan gritted her teeth and touched her temple.

“…No, I’m sorry. “Your guy is not like that.”

“The 7th Prince did nothing wrong. It was actually me who caused Yulicia’s death. “If only I had kept that position…”

“Then I gave the order. “Call for backup.”

“No matter how ordered it was, I couldn’t keep my position. “It’s like I got scared and ran away.”

“If you hadn’t called in reinforcements, the 7th prince and I wouldn’t have survived either.”

The vampire targeted Yulicia and the princes.

It was obvious that if the 1st or 7th prince showed signs of running away, they would have been hunted.

Rather, the correct answer was to have Harman summon the Paladin.

Of course, by that time, Yulicia had already died and the first prince had contracted leprosy due to a curse.

“First Prince…”

Luan looked at Harmon.

“Do you hate the 7th Prince?”

“…Isn’t that natural? “Why are you asking that?”

Luan tilted her head. Because I couldn’t understand the meaning of his question.

“If the 7th Prince hides his true colors for Yulicia-sama… To develop strength… Acting like a fool… “If you were exiled…”

Luan looked at Harmon and gave him a pitiful look.

“It seems like even your mind has been contaminated after dealing with that crazy guy.”

“…”

“You must have come a long way and you must have been tired. You must be tired of dealing with that guy again. “Take a rest.”

As expected, no one believed it.

Because the actions of the 7th prince went beyond the limit.

But Harmon did not give up.

The 7th Prince is sharpening his sword for revenge.

No matter how strong you grow, if there is no one to support you, it is easy to collapse.

We need to build a backbone to support him.

Harmon sighed.

He packed up his itinerary and headed straight to the land of the spirits.

* *

Several weeks had passed since the ‘Wave of Death’, but the Lonia territory was still not in order.

Grill frowned as he cleaned up the melted corpses.

“How long do I have to do this?”

He said he was a farmer, not a body disposer.

But I can’t complain…

“Whew…”

The lord of Ronia himself is stepping out and clearing out the undead with his knights.

“Why was someone like that demoted?”

Grill stuck out his tongue.

Then, Hans, a fellow villager and hunter, slowly approached him.

“Grill! Now take this…!”

Hans forced a piece of paper from his arms into Grill’s arms.

“what?”

“It came from an undead corpse. Get it before the guards say anything!”

“What…”

Hans put a pocket full of something into his bosom, as if he had already taken care of his share.

“I heard there’s a lot of money to be made!”

“…”

Grill glanced at the soldiers working, then looked at the document Hans held out.

I don’t know what it says because I haven’t learned how to read, but it looks like luxurious paper that only nobles would use.

It looked like it was quite old, torn and the ink was smudged. That’s why it looks more expensive.

The grill was secretly stored in the chest.

I don’t know what it is, but I thought it would be a good idea to have Charlotte ask the prince later what this piece of paper was.

It would be nice if it was something that made money.

Grill worked up an appetite and continued his task of cleaning up the body.

* *

“It’s delicious, as expected!”

I sat down on the bed and looked at the sumptuous meal on the table in front of me.

I drank the soup with a spoon and cut the steak with a sloppy knife.

Oh, I’m thirsty. But I’m that happy.

This feeling of satiety!

It’s a happiness I never felt when I was working as a gravedigger at a monastery.

“…The drawback is that it is difficult to move the body.”

I looked around my body.

His arms, legs, entire body, and even his head are all wrapped in bandages.

It’s completely like a mummy.

According to the priest, he was unconscious for about three weeks.

-Sexual power is depleted. Normally, it would be a waste of money, but… It appears to be stable. How much holy power have you used?

And after sleeping for three weeks, I received treatment by taking holy water and medicine.

However, my bones have not healed yet and I am mentally fatigued, so I need stability or something.

In any case, there is no need to perform services such as organizing the Ronia territory with this.

This can be seen as a good result.

“Do you like it?”

I glanced to the side.

Charlotte was next to the bed, looking at me.

Although his expression was expressionless, his eyes were full of anticipation.

It seems like he’s waiting for evaluation of the dish he’s made.

I said, shaking the spoon I was holding.

“It’s so delicious.”

“…thank you.”

Charlotte smiled slightly.

I frowned when I saw her.

No matter how you look at this guy, he is not an ordinary guy.

A witch named Morgana was turned into an old woman by magic and had no power, but vampires are different.

The sight of him blocking the vampire count’s breath with his shield was truly a heroic sight that could have come from a myth.

Even though she had help from Grill and me, holding on for just a few seconds was not a strength that an ordinary girl could possess.

-…Do you know anything about this girl?

Numerous priests, pharmacists, and healers were dispatched to the Lonia estate.

Among them, a highly skilled therapist and a therapist from the Seonghwang family came out and treated Charlotte.

-This child is not an ordinary child. It is difficult to even consider it as human flesh.

This was the therapist’s assessment of Charlotte.

It’s not that it’s not ordinary, it’s just that it’s hard to see in human flesh.

-Has this child ever been exposed to both holy power and magical power?

there was.

Charlotte ate the zombie rat and even swallowed its magic power. And it was in a puddle created by holy power.

-Generally, in that condition, a person dies, becomes disabled, or becomes disabled. But I’ve only seen this happen once. It happened 50 years ago when His Majesty the Holy Emperor was defeated by the Demon King Amon and fell into a coma.

As I drank the soup with a spoon, I remembered what my therapist said.

-At that time, His Majesty Seonghwang surpassed the limits of what humans can have. Due to the conflict between magical and holy power, the body was broken and rebuilt. The process was quite bizarre. It was as if my body was evolving.

He experienced death due to magical power and barely came back to life using holy power.

Bones become crushed and hardened, skin rots, new flesh grows, dead blood vomits out, and new blood is produced…

-He looked like us on the outside, but his body became a superhuman who surpassed human limitations. The reason the Holy Emperor was able to defeat the Demon King Amon was because he gained a superhuman body.

He has a superhuman body like the great hero Celt Allpoles.

I looked straight at Charlotte.

He also used the mind’s eye.

[Name: Charlotte

Age: 16

Characteristics: Cooking Hard work High concentration Sloppy swordsmanship Superhuman physicality Versatile talent.

+ Let’s work hard to be helpful!]

“…?”

Charlotte tilted her head and caressed her face.

It looks like you’re wondering, ‘Did something get buried there?’

“…The kind of transformation that can occur in martial arts world also exists in this world.”

This guy probably has the potential to become a hero.
