Episode 83 〈 Rupel All Falls 〉
=================
A month has passed since King Rahamma died.
A magnificent drum sounds. The band played along with it.
Aslan’s people came out onto the streets and knelt and bowed towards the royal palace.
Aslan’s nobles entered the royal palace.
I walked hastily, fearing that I might be late.
They glanced at the capital.
Paladins were stationed in every street of the city, between buildings and on rooftops.
In front of him, disarmed soldiers are kneeling with their hands on their heads.
The Aslan nobles were in a cold sweat and trembled with fear.
They were unable to adapt to the strange events that occurred in their kingdom.
Nobles stood left and right in the king’s throne room in the palace.
“What on earth happened? A declaration of surrender! Also, the succession ceremony to the throne? “ I don’t know what happened because I was in the outskirts.”
“Have you seen it? It’s the capital. There are paladins in Aslan’s capital…!”
“Emperor Rahamma died on the battlefield. And the one who will inherit the throne…”
The nobles who were speaking fell silent.
The sound of heavy footsteps was heard.
Paladins dressed in white armor lined up and entered the king’s throne room. .
They stood left and right.
The paladins put their hands on the handles of their swords.
The nobles were intimidated by their majesty.
Even though it was the king’s throne room, there was not a single soldier of Aslan there.
It was clearly a situation that went beyond common sense, but no one raised an objection. It was inevitable.
They
were the losers.
The winner was the ruler and the decision-maker who could decide everything.
And the person who would represent that was the one.
The Holy Knight shouted at the top of his voice.
“The 7th prince of the great Holy Empire!”
The Holy Knights glared at the Aslan nobles from inside their helmets.
As holy power gushed out, the nobles knelt down and bowed their heads under pressure.
“Allen Olfols, who holds the status of a noble saint, is entering!”
In an enemy country, the seventh prince of the Holy Imperial Family confidently walked into the king’s throne room.
Wearing a fluttering cloak, he was followed by two paladins.
One was a girl and the other was a middle-aged man. The more he walked, the
more Aslan walked. The nobles could feel his majesty.
Although he was still a young boy, the charisma felt from him had the power to make them pound their heads in shame. The
7th prince sat on the throne in the king’s throne room where the emperor had sat.
Looking at the 7th prince like that. While the Aslan nobles were in a cold sweat, another figure entered:
“Emperor Tinya Aslan is entering!”
In a heavy atmosphere, a girl entered the throne room.
It was the dark elf Tinya Aslan, dressed in fancy clothes.
The underage gods followed behind her.
The nobles and feudal lords standing to the left and right cast disapproving glances at her.
It was the throne succession ceremony. Also, a defeat. It was also a form of subordination that signaled
the male-dominated culture of Aslan.
Women had no choice but to be dissatisfied with the fact that women, such as the dark elves, who were treated as slaves, had taken power.
But they could not disobey.
They called her ‘emperor.’ The one who was singled out was the Holy Emperor of the Holy Emperor, Celt Allpols.
The reason was simple.
All of Emperor Rahamma’s family was purged for responsibility for this war. The only
ones who survived were demi-humans who were classified as warriors.
All of his children were weapons. Not only was he used, but he was treated as a slave.
This was because it was judged that if such an Ain took the throne, he could rule over Aslan more effectively.
As Ain became the emperor, his power would be lowered.
The king and the feudal lords would ‘check’ each other for their own advantage. It will be a position.
Tinya Aslan had favor with the 7th prince, so he was like a chess piece for the Holy Emperor.
Knowing this, the feudal lords tried to step forward.
-Is there any reason why blood-inherited children cannot ascend to the throne? If you have any complaints, tell me. Do it. Everyone will listen.
At the words of the Holy Celt, Aslan’s feudal lords fell silent.
They had no choice but to look to the future.
As long as the Dark Elf was the monarch, not only could they pressure her and make her a puppet, but they could do so at any time. Because it would be possible to change the position of the emperor.
At least it would be easier to deal with than Rahamma, the symbol of fear.
“This is really a contract of subordination.”
“Is Aslan becoming a slave country?”
“A princess who sold her country. How can this be!”
The nobles trembled.
Seeing that sight, the 7th Prince smiled bitterly.
It was Rahamma who led the country to this point in the first place. Rather, the reason it
could end like this was thanks to Tinya, who was close to the 7th Prince.
Otherwise, the Emperor would have been angry. It must have spread to the nobles.
Tinya took a step forward.
She smiled softly as she looked at the prince sitting on the throne.
She knelt down and bowed her head.
“Tinya Aslan, heir to the throne, to Allen Olpols, the 7th prince of the Holy Empire. “I send you greetings.”
It was not a simple greeting.
Tinya treated him with the courtesy of a second servant.
It was both a greeting to the prince and a prayer to an angel.
The prince sighed at the sight of Tinya like that.
* *
Why? Should I be in this position?
Normally, Rupel or my father should have done it.
Rupel is accused of treason, and my father is accused of abandoning his position as Seonghwang and running away.
Thanks to that, I ended up doing what they had to do.
Oh my. Thank you,
Gaia! Please give the poor lamb some time off so she can get some rest! I
prayed desperately in my heart, but the goddess would not listen to my voice. Charlotte,
who was standing on my left, whispered to me.
“You must proceed.”
“Even if I tell you to proceed, I don’t even know how to do it in the first place.”
“Just read the document.”
Harman said from the right.
I looked at the document and read it.
It was the request of the Holy Emperor.
A certain amount of tribute would be paid every year. The slaves of the Holy Emperor that had been captured so far would also be liberated. A certain amount of authority for Aslan’s resource mining would be given to the troops. Temporarily entrusting the power of command to the royal family and…
This is a general content. But it is something that a defeated country must endure.
Tinya, who has just ascended to the throne, will be held fully responsible for this subordination contract.
The nobles will destroy her. There will be a rebellion and there will be a rebellion.
She will have a hard time, but she will be able to lead it well.
He will too…
-Oh my God, the trees are growing!
-Nature has emerged in Aslan… Are you saying that nature has emerged?
-Can we farm? Maybe it will happen! Thank you, princess!
Thanks to her, Mother Nature began to emerge in Aslan.
The people supported her. Rivers
and lakes appeared in a country where it was difficult to find even a drop of water. They
made a living from minerals and slaves. Those who maintained it had land available for farming.
Tinya was able to do what King Rahamma could not do.
Even if the nobles resisted, Aslan, who had to pay tribute, needed Tinya’s power to create a green land.
As time passed, the nobles People will rely on her.
“This will conclude the succession ceremony and subordination ceremony.”
I said the last words.
I was filled with fatigue and pressed my temples.
Charlotte whispered softly in my ear,
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“You really worked hard. Shall we go then?”
I stood up and said,
“Go home.”
At those words, Charlotte smiled slightly.
* *
I left the throne room.
Tinya stayed behind and gave a speech to the nobles.
I wanted to watch until the end, but unfortunately, I was tired.
The side effects from Amon’s relic still lingered, so I needed to rest. I moved and looked at the window of the palace.
“That really moved.
”
The giant tree that the World Tree Yggdrasil left behind in this world was seen in the garden of the royal palace. The
green tree exuded rich mana and formed nature.
[Tree trunk of the World Tree.
Ability: When a part of the World Tree grows, it becomes a World Tree embracing Mother Nature. . When summoning the spirit of the tree, the spirit of nature, it helps the elementalist to amplify mana by 50% and maintain mana.] It
is a considerable ability.
Even the dry land was created with a single tree.
It is worth coveting when looking at the prosperity. Item.
It must have been a good thing that Seonghwang didn’t ask me to bring that.
“Well, even if I took it, I wouldn’t be able to take care of anyone but Tinya.”
It is said that only a chosen high elf can take care of the world tree.
In this case, it would be Tinya, a dark elf.
I took another step.
The place I was headed was the VIP room of the royal palace, which was under strict security.
Paladins were lined up in rows. It is done.
As Charlotte and I passed by, they saluted.
As I was standing in the VIP room door, King of Swords Oscar bowed his head and greeted me.
“Are you okay, Prince?”
“Thanks to you, I’m okay. Before that, what about my brother and father?”
“He is inside.”
“I’d like to talk to them for a moment.”
“That’s right.”
Oscar smiled softly and opened the door. Two men were seen in the VIP room.
One was asleep on the bed, covered in sheets. He was writhing
as if he was having a nightmare.
Rupel Olfols.
The 3rd prince who was arrested on charges of treason this time. All.
I looked away.
“Oh! Are you here? As expected, Aslan food is delicious. Although it is a bloody country, there is a reason it is famous as a tourist attraction.”
Another man eating the hind leg of a large roasted pig.
White All Falls.
He was the crown prince of the Holy Empire.
Normally, it would not be surprising if both of them were imprisoned, but this convenience was because I requested the Holy Emperor Celt.
For me, I had a lot to ask them.
For Rupel, it was about the rebellion.
For White, it was about his whereabouts for 11 years.
I sat down across from White.
“Here, you have a bite too. It’s very delicious!”
It was truly absurd to say this while laughing.
Where had he been all this time, abandoning his children and the crown princess? Even
though the royal family was desecrated by vampires and even the crown princess was murdered, he was not there.
White will have to take responsibility for that. I
ignored the whole roast he held out to me and said,
“Where have you been all this time?”
“Huh? Oh, I wandered around here and there. The Kingdom of Rom and Irans and other places…”
“You mean, you traveled?”
“yes.”
White nodded.
I couldn’t help but be angry at his irresponsibility.
In the first place, there was too much shit that White left behind.
I was just cleaning up some of it. I
couldn’t take it anymore.
That was when I was about to pull out my musket.
“And “I was looking for your brother.”
what? Brother?
What they said they had been looking for for 11 years was that it was not Nana Ruppel from Aslan.
I thought deeply.
So far, I haven’t met any other characters other than Luan and Rupel Hilda.
However, I have not heard that any of the brothers are missing.
“Who are you looking for?”
“I was looking for Ruppel. But I couldn’t find it. Now I have no choice but to receive help from the Seonghwang family. It’s impossible to find that child alone.”
I frowned. My
words were at a loss.
Looking for Rupel? For 11 years? What does that mean?
I looked at Rupel who was sleeping next to me.
But my actions made White He made an expression of regret.
He smiled sheepishly.
“Others won’t know. It was a fact that I had no choice but to hide. Well, it’s not like I should keep it a secret now, and I need to get help.”
White looked at me and said.
“What I’m looking for is not Third Prince Rupel Orfols. “What I’m looking for is…”
White’s expression changed.
He looked at me with a serious face and said.
“2nd prince. Rupel All Falls.”
I stiffened at those words.
If it’s 2nd Prince Rupel All Falls.
“I’m looking for the older brother of the 3rd prince, Rupel.”
The baby was stillborn by the 2nd Crown Princess Rose Darina.

Dark cave.
The dull, humid air vibrated.
Thick liquid is filled between flasks that are over 1m long.
There were ‘human children’ there.
An old man with white hair and a bushy beard wearing skin-tight leather clothes drew pictures on the floor like crazy.
He wasn’t human.
He is 3 meters tall and has a curved back like a hunchback.
The skin all over his body had stitched wounds and strange tumors growing.
Alchemist and eponymous vampire.
Timong, who had been given the title of ‘Count’ by the Vampire King, had his head cut off.
He used a magic stone to draw runes on the floor.
“Uuuu-!”
Among them, a priest whose mouth was blocked screamed.
Blood flows from the entire body and seeps into the runes.
Count Timon cheered at the sight.
“Now it’s complete!”
He laughed like crazy. Then he rubbed his leather gloved hands together.
Count Timon gathered magical power in both hands and infused it into the runes.
The bound priest turned pale and shouted.
“Ugh! “Uuuuuu-!”
Magical power comes out. At the same time, the priest’s holy power gushed out.
Count Timon widened his eyes.
In a state of excitement, he shouted in a crazy voice.
“haha! This is the 3001st warp experiment. Hey priest. “Show me your strength!”
Magical power and holy power collided.
Meanwhile, the runes remained neutral and coordinated the two forces.
Space and time are distorted.
The priest’s body breaks down into molecules.
It was warp.
A warp gate using holy power and magic power.
Conflicting forces came together and in the end… the priest exploded.
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
The lab was covered in blood.
Count Timon, with a blank expression on his face, frowned.
“Ugh! Damn it!”
Count Timon stamped his foot. I screamed in anger.
“Why not! “I’ve succeeded several times, but I’ve failed again!”
A ghoul staggered towards him in anger.
The ghoul handed him a letter.
Count Timon, who was screaming and covering his head, was startled and accepted the letter.
Count Timon’s eyes widened in surprise and his mouth opened in astonishment.
“what’s the matter? Count Timon.”
Timong was startled and looked away.
A small boy walked out of the darkness.
He is a boy who appears to be about 12 years old.
A boy with blood-red hair and eyes is grinning.
“King Rahamma has died.”
“what? That monster human? how?”
The boy asked with a surprised expression.
He stood on tiptoe and tried his best to look at the letter that Count Timon was carrying.
“It looks like he was killed in the Seonghwang family.”
“A prosperous Celt? “It looks like that person is still a monster.”
“No, another being. I don’t know exactly. “I don’t know.”
“oh my god! “Rahamma was killed by someone else?”
The boy looked surprised.
And for a moment the boy smiled.
“Then the crown prince must have done it.”
“That is highly likely.”
“I guess he’s still alive.”
“Do you think this guy will stubbornly survive until he kills you?”
Count Timon looked at the boy and said.
“Rupel All Falls. “Second prince of the Seonghwang family.”
Rupel burst out laughing at Count Timon’s words.
“haha! “When exactly are you talking about?”
“…”
“I am no longer a Seonghwang family person. And…”
The boy smiled.
“My father is a different person now. “He is my father.”
“The king will view you as a puppet, right?”
“No one can ignore me. “If you can’t admit it, just make him admit it.”
The boy said and glanced at the letter.
“Is there anything else?”
In response to the boy’s words, Count Timon said,
“Ah, the 3rd prince, Rupel Olfols. He has been captured.”
The boy’s body flinched at those words.
The boy looked at Count Timon with interest.
“Why Rupel?”
Looking at the boy who tilted his head and asked, Count Timon said,
“It was a charge of treason. The guy who was our helper, but was actually the link to Rose Darina, was caught.”
“Wouldn’t it be trouble if he died?”
“He’s worthless anyway. It was Rose, the second crown princess, who was the one in control in the first place. It would be good if the number of the Seonghwang family decreased at this point.”
“Then that guy.”
The boy raised his head.
The corner of his mouth curled up, exuding a deep murderous intent.
The boy said with a crazy expression.
“Can I have it? “I just wanted a new body. If that were my younger brother.”
He looked at the boy, Count Timon, and smiled.
“Isn’t that a very good thing?”
