Episode 110 〈End and Beginning〉
Crown Prince White walked forward holding the sword of light.
Zombies are still rampant in the city.
Those zombies were pierced by the sword of light and destroyed.
“kill.”
The crown prince gritted his teeth.
A woman who thought terribly of her precious wife.
But now she has become corrupted, turning her son into an undead and using her for her own benefit, and even desecrating the imperial palace.
Rose Darina.
White couldn’t forgive her.
“father?”
Crown Prince White looked away.
Luan could be seen leading the Rom Kingdom army and clearing out the city center along with the Cheon Army.
Although White was relieved that Luan was safe, he approached him and asked.
“I heard there is a Rose in the palace.”
Luan smiled bitterly and nodded.
“Yes, Allen is under protection.”
White frowned.
What the vampire said was true.
Luan, seeing White’s expression, closed her mouth.
To that end, I opened my mouth for a moment.
“The Second Crown Princess has a maid named Sharin. “We’re still investigating, but that maid used to serve Rupel…”
White had a dazed expression as he listened to Luan’s words.
For a moment, he turned around and
ran as fast as he could.
He pressed his temples and gritted his teeth.
‘Rose, what the hell are you…!’
He arrived at the palace.
The paladins tried to stop White from approaching, but White ignored the paladins and pushed open the door.
Then he saw
Rose kneeling, Allen on the throne, and next to her was Charlotte and the maid, Sharyn.
White was there. I could see it.
Sharin’s protruding belly.
That…
White’s eyes rolled back.
Rose turned her head and looked at White with an ecstatic smile.
She spread both hands and shouted.
“Ah, Prince! Finally, come. “You’re welcome. I wanted to meet you!”
Rose stood up.
Her arms and legs were tied and she staggered to her feet and stretched out her hands.
White threw the new type.
He swung the sword of light towards Rose’s neck.
“Charlotte!”
At that time, Charlotte blocked Rose’s path at Allen’s shout.
He pulled out his holy sword and deflected White’s sword.
but.
White stretched out his left hand and grabbed Rose’s slender neck.
Charlotte’s holy sword was aimed at White’s neck.
“…White All Falls. Please let go of that hand. “This is the prince’s order.”
Charlotte glared fiercely at White.
White turned his gaze to Allen.
Allen stood on the throne frowning.
Also, the maid named Sharin next to her is shaking and covering her head.
“Allen, get rid of this paladin right now.”
“Take that hand away first. “Prince.”
White felt his heart grow heavy when he realized that Allen had deliberately not said the word ‘father’.
“Are you planning to keep Rose alive?”
“I just want to carry out the execution in the capital of the Holy Empire through formal procedures.”
“Don’t you hate this woman?”
“I hate it at least as much as you White.”
White’s eyes wavered as he looked at Allen.
Allen, how can you be so calm? Your mother was murdered, your brother was cursed, and your enemy was almost assassinated right in front of you.
Then Rose opened her mouth.
“Are you going to kill me?”
White looked at Rose.
Rose looked more ecstatic than afraid.
“great. It would be a good thing to die for someone you love. “You will remember me until the end.”
Rose touched White’s hand.
My face turned red.
She had the same expression as a shy girl, but there was madness in her eyes.
“Place these warm hands around my neck and remember that feeling for a long time. Please think of me every time.”
White looked blankly at Rose.
“I want to die for you.”
She said,
“Even if you suffer, I hope you don’t forget me. I love you, White All Falls, my Prince!”
I am crazy.
“I am.”
White glared at Rose.
“I don’t love you.”
Rose’s expression hardened.
“yes?”
“I loved you before. But not now. “I will forget you.”
Rose dies.
I will end it with my own hands.
Rose’s face distorted and turned red.
And for a moment she burst into laughter.
“does not matter!”
He pointed his finger at the maid Sharin.
“You can’t forget me. As long as I have blood! No matter how much you do, you won’t be able to stop the execution of the Third Prince. But your grandchildren will survive!”
White’s eyes wavered.
Rose reaches out both hands and caresses White’s face.
“You are indecisive and caring. “If that child has your blood and mine, you will never forget me.”
“…”
White looked at Rose and recalled the words spoken by Marquis Keyrum.
-First is the ugliness of humans.
“The Third Prince will die. I would die too. But the child will live. And one day, it will become a great success. As long as I live, I will do whatever it takes to make you successful! So…”
That’s correct. Humans are ugly.
Human nature is before your eyes.
White opened his mouth that had been closed.
“Do you know what the third prince’s name is?”
Rose paused at White’s question.
“What does that mean?”
“What is the third prince’s name?”
“That’s right…”
Rose tilted her head and looked at White with wide eyes.
“…Did I have a third prince?”
White closed his eyes tightly.
“Huh? Wait, 2nd prince? 3rd prince? Did you have a name? To my son?”
Rose tilts her head.
She held her head in confusion.
“That’s strange. Why are the 2nd and 3rd princes…Rupel Rupel? “Who is Rupel?”
-Second is human weakness.
Yes, humans are weak.
The shock of losing her son changed her personality.
She became obsessed with her dead child, and eventually that obsession turned to White.
He also lost himself.
Rose is a weak and immature woman.
White, the man who could not protect her and comfort her.
Humans….
-Thirdly, oneself who admits it.
It was a weak being.
‘Am I trying to run away again?’
White gritted his teeth.
Forget?
Quite the opposite.
It must not be forgotten.
Everyone, including Rose Ruppel and Yulicia.
Since everyone started with their own hands, they had to finish it. They were also people to remember for the rest of our lives.
so.
White aimed the sword of light at Rose.
Let’s finish it with our own hands.
“Please stop.”
Allen walked up and took White’s hand.
“If you’re going to suffer that much, don’t do it.”
Allen glanced at White.
White’s face was completely disfigured.
I am sobbing with tears streaming down my face.
Rose looked blank at that sight.
“Rose is right. This is something I have to finish. It’s a sin I committed. So.”
“This is my father, brother Rupel’s last wish.”
White looked at Allen.
“I just want to see my mother before I die.”
“Couldn’t you at least grant your son’s last wish?”
At Allen’s words, White’s hand weakened.
“And.”
Allen looked at the maid, Sharin.
The maid was trembling, covering her head.
“Brother Rupel has no child.”
The maid’s body collapsed.
The maid vomited out the contents inside her body.
Another of the vampire’s tricks to ensnare Rose.
Pretending that the maid was pregnant with Rupel’s child.
Second Crown Princess Rose was a woman buried in delusion until the end. **
Rose was taken away.
The
maid, Sharin, confessed.
She served Rose and watched the events she committed from beginning to end. It is said that she used
this as a weakness to seduce the 3rd prince, Rupel, and dreamed of becoming empress herself. .
But things got out of control.
The 2nd Crown Princess plotted a rebellion and dragged Aslan
in. The Holy Imperial Kingdom continued to pursue her.
As Sharin, there was only one way to survive. –
Speaking of having the 3rd Prince’s child, Rose. I thought she would protect me.
All I could do was rely on the Second Crown Princess.
It was very easy to deceive her when she was in a
state of confusion. She must have thought that they had a ‘relationship’ as she was seen seducing Rupel every time.
Also, even the vampire. They were related and even used their magic, so they were able to deceive like a sense of touch.
With this, they were able to guess even Rose and Derian, the second prince of the Kingdom of Rom.
If it hadn’t been for the story I heard from Rupel in prison, I would have been shocked for a while.
I was Rupel in prison . “Are you afraid of dying
?”
“Honestly, it’s scary.”
Rupel spoke truthfully with open eyes.
Rather, he looked refreshed.
It was probably because he was freed from the oppression that had been oppressing him.
Tomorrow is ‘execution day’.
Rose will be decapitated.
Rupel was hanged with minimal physical damage under my authority. Both will be punished.
Neither of them will survive.
Treason and attracting a vampire are serious crimes.
I stood up, looking at Rupel’s expression.
Charlotte, who was behind me, bowed her head and stepped back.
Then, she took Rose with her. Rupel
‘s face hardened.
He looked at Rose blankly, tensed.
Rose’s eyes were dead.
She, in fact, was beginning to realize.
What she had done, and that her son and blood were no more left in this world. “ No matter what
I say, I don’t know if Rose will be able to hear it.”
I glanced at Ruppel and said,
“Please spend the night together, mother and son. This is the last consideration I can give you.”
I walked away.
From afar, I hear the sound of Ruppel opening his mouth.
It’s a sobbing sound.
They’ll talk about everything they couldn’t say before.
One night won’t be enough time for them.
After tonight passes and tomorrow morning, they won’t see each other again. .
Because that will be their last life.
**
The next morning.
The execution ceremony took place.
Rose stood in front of the guillotine in front of Lorensis’ square.
She looked up at the sky in a daze. Rose frowned in the dazzling sunlight.
Her ears were deafening .
People gather around.
They
are throwing stones and shouting. It
‘s a complaint.
But Rose doesn’t hear it.
In her ear, she hears a completely different voice in her head.
– Do you know this? Mother. Lightning struck. The night he hit me, he held me and slept with me while I was scared. Do you know how warm and safe you felt at that time? Even now, when I’m having a hard time, I often think of that time.
Whose voice is it?
It was definitely the voice I heard last night.
With those words, someone warmly wrapped her shoulder.
-When I was 10 years old, I picked flowers for my mother for the first time. But my mother scolded me. He said his clothes were dirty. Haha, how upset I was back then.
He spoke softly and patted my head.
– Actually, I blamed my mother.
Whose voice is it?
-But that much.
Oh yes, that voice….
Rose’s body was pressed down by the executioner.
Her hands were shaking.
There was someone who held her hand.
White All Falls.
He gritted his teeth and came to see the last of the woman he loved.
-I loved you.
Rose’s eyes widened.
I see an image of a child in my head.
I held, breastfed, raised, and taught the young baby.
The baby became a child, a boy, and a young man.
Little by little, the black-stained face of the young man began to appear in my mind.
And I was able to see it last night.
The son he gave birth to.
Dew flowed from the corners of her eyes.
“Lu… Fel.”
“Execution!”
And… the guillotine fell.
The person who was the second crown princess entered the coffin.
She was destined to be buried in the mountain behind it, not in the imperial palace where she stayed.
Next was hanging
. Rupel went up to the podium.
Rupel said that Rose I calmed down as I watched the coffin moving away.
At the same time, I smiled bitterly at the sight of the people throwing stones.
After all, he was the one who started the war.
Even if it was Rose’s order, I did something that would betray the country, so I will have to pay for it.
Death penalty. A rope was hung around Rupel’s neck.
At that moment, Rupel started to get scared.
Now he will die.
Obviously, this is his punishment for his sins. But,
“Haha, I’m completely selfish.”
I wanted to live.
Rupel trembled in fear.
He took a deep breath and looked down at the floor.
In just a moment, the floor he was stepping on would give out and his body would fall.
The rope tied him around his neck, his neck bones broke, and he struggled to breathe. You will die.
“…!”
Ruppel’s teeth chattered at the terrible thought.
“That is the punishment for your sins.”
Rupel looked back in shock.
Allen was sitting on the platform with his arms crossed.
Behind him were the brothers of the Seonghwang family and White.
“Are you here to see my end?”
Allen kept his mouth shut.
Seeing that, Rupel burst out laughing.
“Ha haha, you are such a villain too, Allen.”
He’s like a damn little brother.
Although he was an idiot, he has now become a person well-received by the people.
“I wish I could be like you.”
“You better take that back. “You’re going to have a hard time.”
“Haha!”
Ruppel looked up at the sky.
The sunset has already set.
Also, preparations for the hanging have been completed.
My heart is pounding.
“Allen.”
Allen glanced at Rupel.
Rupel turned his head and forced a smile.
“If there is such a thing as a next life.”
The executioner lifted the ax towards the rope fixed to the floor and said,
“I want to live like you.”
“execution!”
I hit the rope with an axe.
Rupel’s vision returns.
His gaze on Allen disappears and he falls to the floor.
Quasik!
My throat is tight.
“Ugh….”
My vision is blurring.
I can’t breathe. My throat is sore. Blood rushes to the head under pressure.
Ah ah….
Rupel looks away.
Hearing the voices of countless people complaining.
The price for the sins he has committed is now being paid.
“God….”
Merciful. Gaia, if you give me a chance…
“Ugh.”
In the next life, I will definitely…
“Ah… ah….”
… Please give me a chance to live for the people.
Rupel closed his eyes.
His body went limp.
That day, the 3rd day of the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom. Prince.
Rupel Olfols is dead.
***
Rattling, rattling.
A carriage piled with straw passed slowly along the rough road.
A man wearing a straw hat whipped the whip, and the horse thrashed and shook.
At that moment, the carriage shook. It rises.
Due to the impact, the young man lying on the straw opened his eyes.
In his dazed mind, he felt a blurry vision.
He saw a warm light.
The young man stretched out his hand towards the dazzling sunlight.
“Is this… heaven? .”
“It is neither heaven nor hell.”
The young man was startled and raised his upper body.
The young man quickly touched his neck.
Are there any? Are there any wounds?
‘Before that, am I still alive?’
The hanging?
It was a dream?
No. It was not a dream. The emotions I felt at that time, the pain I felt at that time.
It was all real.
The young man looked at the man who had spoken to him.
“I guess he’s finally woken up now.”
Harmon, the vice leader of the company’s Holy Cross, took off his straw hat and raised his head.
The young man looked at Harmon with a blank expression.
“What…”
“It’s the prince’s order.”
An order from the prince? What do you mean?
“You died once. And.”
He was resurrected.
The young man, Rupel, widened his eyes.
“The prince said that he had a hard time trying to save you. He must be groaning from muscle pain by now.”
Ruppel was silent.
Harmon glanced at him and said,
“And he told me to live my life this time, not as a puppet.”
“What…”
“There is a small monastery in the north.”
“…”
“They say some idiot used to dig the grave, but now the place is empty. It’s the perfect place for a traitor who would sell out the country to be exiled.”
Rupel’s eyes widened.
Harman smiled, put his straw hat back on, and said,
“This is the prince’s final message.”
-Would you like to live like me?
Rupel thought of the 7th Prince as he listened to Harman’s words.
Allen’s funny expression appeared in his mind.
-Then, just go through the trouble! Let’s see how well the plants grown in the greenhouse can withstand the corpse. Clean it up, bury it, and try to stop the wave of death. Work for free for the people. That’s…
Allen points his finger.
-This is your last chance to atone for the rest of your life.
Rupel covered his face.
“Harman.”
“…”
“Am I allowed to live?”
“That’s your choice.”
“I guess I can survive.”
Rupel sobbed,
“Yes, I will live. And.”
Rupel clenched his fists:
“I will live for my people.”
Harman smiled at Rupel’s words.
Harman’s mission was to move Rupel to a monastery in the north.
“Winter is coming now.”
Harmon glanced at Ruppel and said,
“You’re going to have a hard time. Be prepared.”
**
Seonghwang Celt heard about what happened in the Holy Emperor’s Kingdom and what happened in the Kingdom of Rom.
“Cluck, cluck!”
Celt was coughing.
Cardinal Raphael was patting his back next to him.
Celt waved his hand to indicate that he was okay.
At that time, the throne room of the Holy Emperor opened.
Celt turned his gaze and looked at the approaching seventh grandson.
“Oh Allen. “Welcome.”
Kelt smiled softly.
These days, he lives to enjoy seeing his grandson. Now, as long as he sees his grandson making achievements, gaining status, and receiving the support of the people, he will not hesitate even if he dies.
Yes, he will become a prosperous person.
So.
“Hmm .” !”
I heard Cardinal Raphael clear his throat next to me.
Celt frowned.
“It’s too early.”
First of all.
Kelt looked at Raphael with a dissatisfied gaze.
In fact, the grandson lacks the royal family’s etiquette and other forms of culture.
In politics, we must also learn about the secrets of the royal family one by one.
so.
‘The Holy King will be fine.’
A new position that has never existed before.
The first heir to succession, surpassing the crown prince.
There will be no problem if you resign from that position.
Raphael nodded.
There seems to be no objection to that point.
Kelt nodded and looked at Allen.
At that time, Allen spoke first.
“I came here with a favor to ask.”
Kelt looked surprised at Allen’s words.
ask?
Grandchildren?
Until now, my grandson has never asked for anything first.
But I came to you like this and asked for a favor.
“What is it?”
“I’d like you to take some time off.”
“Vacation?”
Allen nodded.
Looking at Allen, Kelt nodded.
Considering the hardships the 7th Prince has gone through so far, it would be surprising that he did not collapse from overwork.
I also saw the Crown Princess and Rupel captured and executed.
It was a shock . You probably want to take a break because it’s so big.
“How much do you need?”
“I think it will take three months.”
Three months?
That’s quite a long time.
But it’s nothing that can’t be done.
The vampire massacre incident in the Roman Kingdom.
This alone should be acknowledged as an achievement.
The vampire invasion must have also been shaken by this incident.
“Okay. But three months?”
“I’d like to go on a trip.”
“travel?”
Allen nodded and smiled,
“I’d like to go to the magic kingdom of Airans. There.”
The Noble Phantasm of Ordin Orfols, the first Holy Emperor, given to me by the 3rd Prince Rupel.
“Because there is treasure.”
I was going to go look for it.
