I Became The Necromancer Of The Academy - Chapter 229
“What?”
The second prince, Rehul, let out a sigh as he heard the news that had reached his ears.
The maid who had delivered the news to him trembled as she lowered her head.
When things did not go his way, Rehul tended to become excessively violent.
“You dare to come before me and mess with me now?!”
He kicked the maid in the abdomen, sending her sliding backwards and crashing into the wall.
“Cough! Cough!”
“Damn it!”
Rehul let out his anger as he ignored the maid who was struggling to breathe.
In front of Princess Eleonora and the others, he acted like a gentle prince, but in reality, his true nature was far more vicious and ambitious than the other princes.
This was partly due to his only brother, the first prince, Rahul.
Having grown up seeing his brother, who was inferior to him, he had been arrogant from the very beginning.
“That idiot! He’s going to take the lead again in this subjugation? Is Father really losing his mind?!”
He had already failed in the first subjugation of the large demon beast in the Sahara Desert.
At that time, the first prince Rahul’s strategy and command were truly terrible, and Rehul had deliberately kept his mouth shut and followed his brother.
That way, everyone would know of the first prince’s incompetence.
They were giving another chance to the first prince Rahul, who had failed so miserably?
This was truly absurd.
“Lerulta…!”
It was because the first prince, Rahul, had been assigned the large demon beast subjugation strategy proposed by the fourth prince, Lerulta.
Tenra Jimyo (Heaven and Earth Net).
It was one of the griffin’s tactics for dealing with large demon beasts, and it was the strategy adopted for this second campaign.
Princess Eleonora had informed the fourth prince, Lerulta, and the first prince, Rahul, had simply taken over the information.
“Whew.”
The second prince, Rehul, brushed back his bangs and thought of the foreign princess.
Why?
When he had first seen her, he certainly hadn’t had these feelings.
At some point, the desire to have her had blossomed, and seeing what his other brothers wanted made him want to take her away even more.
This time, he had helped Rahul.
“I can use her.”
Even if it was dangerous to marry her, it seemed like it would be just right to maintain a lover’s relationship.
She also seemed to be useful in many ways for her age.
Also, she seemed to have a favorable impression of him rather than the first prince, Rahul.
“Princess Eleonora.”
Rehul began to think about how to win her heart.
* * *
Recently, the atmosphere in the royal palace had been strangely changing.
The first prince and the fourth prince were together, practicing the Tenra Jimyo (Heaven and Earth Net) that Princess Eleonora had taught them.
On the other hand, the second prince, Rehul, was working on his inner circle.
“Are you saying that you’re going to implement a strategy that a princess from another country has given you?”
“This is ridiculous. Then what are we?”
“The Jermaine Kingdom also has excellent methods for subjugating large demon beasts. Honestly, I wonder if the problem in the first subjugation wasn’t that Prince Rahul was too hasty in taking command….”
Spending time with none other than the generals.
He was trying to appease the hearts of the generals of his own country that the first prince, Rahul, was neglecting.
“Do you think I don’t know the competence of the generals? However, we’re using that strategy this time for the sake of strategic diversity.”
“Ahem.”
“If that is what Prince Rehul says.”
While pacifying the angry generals, he also visited the kingdom’s magicians.
In particular, there was one very famous black magician in the Jermaine Kingdom.
His name is Coltman Bellic.
He was a man whom Deius had mentioned as a synonym for a good black magician during the first Grand Council meeting.
Since the climate was hot, unlike other magicians, he was not wearing a robe, and he was dressed in a cool outfit that exposed his upper body.
His appearance was closer to a shaman than a black magician.
“Is Coltman also negative about this operation?”
At Rehul’s question, Coltman made a subtle expression. The two were now leaning on the railing of the palace, watching the first prince and the fourth prince practice Cheon-La-Ji-Mang with their soldiers.
“Cheon-La-Ji-Mang. It means spreading a net of heaven and earth.”
“Yes.”
At those words, Coltman smiled with a subtle expression.
“They are spreading the net in a groundbreaking way. Griffin and Jermain definitely think differently.”
“……”
“But I don’t think this has a high chance of success. It’s a method that requires a lot of preparation in the first place. How are they going to spread this in the desert?”
Rehul, who had also taken Coltman’s opinion into account, couldn’t hide the smile of agreement that was forming.
Will they fail even when they succeed, when the generals are not happy?
Even after giving him two chances, if Rahul fails, it would be like continuously proving his incompetence.
‘Foolish brother.’
Rehul chuckled and watched his brother, the fourth prince Lerhulta, continue to fight with his head and move his soldiers.
* * *
The third prince, Serhul, also felt that the atmosphere of the kingdom was unusual.
No matter how much he said that he was not very interested in the internal strife of the palace or the right to succeed to the throne, he had seen it since he was young, so he couldn’t help but know.
“……Ha.”
Suddenly, all six brothers fell in love with Princess Elenoa, and naturally it spread to a fight for the right to succession.
There were rumors that all this started when Princess Elenoa arrived.
But in fact, Serhul knew.
The culprit of all this was none other than.
Himself.
“I didn’t want this.”
Serhul just wanted to live an ordinary life. He wanted the other princes to live peacefully without fighting.
“Your expression is not very good.”
At that moment, a man appeared naturally from the corner of Serhul’s room.
The white-haired young man was wearing a stylish suit and white gloves on his hands.
“You…!”
The moment he saw him, Serhul got up and wanted to run at him right away, but his body didn’t move as he wanted.
“I see you don’t like the item you bought from my store.”
“……!”
Not only his hands and feet, but also his lips and tongue
Serhul, who was frozen stiff as if he had been frozen, could not make any retorts.
“What you purchased was ‘brotherly love and peace’, wasn’t it?”
“……”
“Don’t worry. Your brothers won’t end up fighting.”
Smiling broadly, the great demon of deception, Learic, approaches Serhul.
“Can’t they fight if they’re dead?”
“……!”
Although there was definitely no change in Serhul’s expression, his passionate emotions seemed to be felt.
What on earth does that mean?
I hoped that my brothers wouldn’t fight, but I think I heard myself say that if they all died, there would be peace.
“Well, I didn’t say I would kill them. I just fueled your brothers’ desires. Each of them is working very hard for their desires.”
Like a devil.
That one word that Learic added carried a weight that Serhul could not withstand.
However, she also wondered why this man had come here.
It had been weeks since they had made the deal, and why was he suddenly showing his face after not doing so for so long?
As if he had read her question, Learic slowly turned his gaze out the window and muttered.
“There is a man I am very interested in and want to have here.”
‘An interesting man?’
She wondered what he meant, but Learic had no intention of explaining it to her in the first place.
He continued to speak as if he was excited.
“I was pretty hurt in the last dream battle. It was a bit sloppy for the stage I prepared, but still….”
Beyond the desert.
Waiting for the man who might not have even left the Marias Rainforest yet.
“Please come, Dayus Verdi.”
The great demon of deceit clicked his tongue as if he couldn’t stand it.
* * *
“Haah.”
Late evening.
The entire city was hot, but the moment the sun set, a freezing cold air came through the window and into the room.
She had heard that the desert had a large temperature difference, but Eleonora had never imagined it would be this much until she experienced it herself.
However, right now, there was nothing that could help cool her heated mind as much as this.
Drinking the cold night air, Eleonora slowly thought about what she was going to do next.
The six princes surrounding her.
Each of them had different feelings for Eleonora, and she intended to actively use that.
The first prince, Rahul German, was bold and lustful, and he lived a life that was most like his father.
She couldn’t count how many times she had heard jokes that were half-serious and half-joking about sleeping together in the bedroom since she came here.
The second prince, Rehul German, seemed kind and gentle on the outside, but he had the most blatant desires inside.
It was obvious that he wondered if he was more suited to be king than the first prince, Rahul.
The third prince, Serhul, was not interested in all the fights for the throne and power struggles. He just wanted to live quietly.
The fourth prince, Lerhulta, was excessively loyal to his father, King Ramahul. He was almost obsessive in his willingness to do anything for his father.
The fifth prince, Sarihul, was a jester.
The sixth prince, Sirahul, was only 8 years old.
The fifth and sixth princes were younger than Eleonora, so they weren’t much of a problem.
Rather, when the two of them came to visit, Eleonora would just play with them without thinking about anything else.
“Whew.”
She sighed again.
She was entangled in all sorts of relationships, but what Eleonora was planning wasn’t anything special.
She had come to the German Kingdom and was going to stay here for a long time, so she was going to use this time to cause some chaos in the German royal family.
That was all she wanted.
If she got involved any more than that, it could backfire on Eleonora.
However.
“At the very least, a fight for the right to succeed due to a split or faction formation among the princes.”
Eleonora muttered as she recalled the blueprint she was creating in her head, her jaw clenched.
Yes, she could at least make the princes fight among themselves.
That alone could be a huge advantage for the Griffin Kingdom.
“At most….”
All sorts of pictures fit together. It would take a lot of effort and there would be dangerous situations.
However, if the situation went the way Eleonora intended.
She could, at most.
“Rebellion.”
She looked over the possibility that even the owner of the throne could change.
