The heavy rain battered the rooftops and didn’t see to the tiht outside, but there was nothing other than therains before daere always nice and cal by a fireplace and enjoying a cup of hot cocoa that truly warmed the body ht then, let’s pretend that the dragon knight Archduke as glaring at ry at the fact that nobody gave ainst the undead!
"Even if you received one, would you be able to drink it? If soave you one, wouldn’t you just co fun of you?&8221;
"Silly cat, leave your cup for me&8221;
"Heh heh, don’t even think about it!&8221;
Due to Lilith’s sudden appearance, the originally tense situation was instantly defused After all, the dragon knight Jonan was once her personal guard And in regards to seniority, Halent would need to call Jonan "Second Grandpa&8221;
It was all a in with, and since neither side had anyone that was seriously injured or killed during the h to explain it
Even if the undead were able to appease the nobles in the capital, they weren’t able to appease the dragons and dragon knights It was quite obvious that the dragon knights weren’t going to get along with the undead And since Halent was a powerful faction of his own in the dragon knight squad, the fact that he htrain City and took it over was in a way his resistance against Ehtrain city had famously declared before that he didn’t care about any consequences—as long as any undead dared to enter his territory, they would be instantly executed with noafter he said that, we arrived without knowing about it…
Hearing this, I wanted to crash my head into a wall Perhaps I really should o donate some money to the God of Fate’s church At the very least, I wanted to get rid of so that in this time period, Archduke Halent personally patrolled the city walls to search for undead, which ht have still e But I just happened to be sitting on a horse and leading our procession so grandly as the lich Rex All the scouts on the city walls saw me instantly and pointed ainst the dragon knight Archduke’s authority How could he possibly ignorethat happened after cahtly surprised about was that the dragon knights seemed to be quite clear about Lilith’s identity as well as that she was a n of disrespect or enmity towards her
As for that Earl Jonan who seeed but was definitely well over two hundred years old, his expression seemed far too complex as he looked at Lilith His emotions included reverence, relief, pain, and so on The numerous coed e careers and become an actor
"After all, ere all present back in the day Although it’s not my place to criticize, that ehness A about nostalgic things, while Lilith was the one who reh-spirited dragon knights in front of her Sheas going on around everywhere to eat some desserts, taste some tea, enjoy the warainst the chilly weather
I had investigated the matter of Lilith’s incident before as well After Fina Milan became the Blood Tribe Member Lilith Milan, that perverted necrophile prince, Prince Sinut, was killed off not long after After that, the throne was given to a child between Prince Sinut and one of the Bardi royalty side fahters, which basically broke off the Bardi Empire’s direct royal blood succession… If you forcefully tried to find so the most Bardi royal blood out of anyone left alive today, but nobody in the Bardi Empire would dare to enerations ago take the throne, not tochildren for the sake of the royal bloodline
This was soo, and the retainers froe Whoever ruled had the power to write history, and the so-called direct bloodline would only refer to the eenerations later, ould reo?
While noron descendants fro quite well They believed in the chivalric code of knights and still recalled the ruler they had sworn loyalty to so long ago Now that they saw that their princess who had gone &8221; quite fine, of course they would be filled with excitement
It was also thanks to Lilith’s status that me and my "undead&8221; were invited inside as well Otherwise, even if ere so-called imperial envoys, that wouldn’t matter to Archduke Halent If the lich Rex had been executed, all that would be said was that he deserved it After all, Orloss wouldn’t dare to directly go against the dragon knights for the sake of a siether with them, it was easy to tell fro like afamily That Jonan could use his seniority to lecture Halent for being overly hasty When seeing how that icy-faced handsome Halent could only helplessly listen and not even defend hihty child receive a scolding from his parent
And, when I looked around the rooon knight here There were several dragon knights with stronger draconic ht than him For example, that elder of his, Jonan, was obviously a Saint
"…Could it be that Your Highness Fina is here for the sake of the undead?&8221;
Jonan’s expression was filled with hesitation, but fros he absolutely had to ask Everyone in the Bardi E with the undead, as how could the prideful dragons possibly listen to the commands of the filthy undead?
But the current Princess "Fina&8221; before theh it seemed like she probably wasn’t related to the undead in the Bardi Empire’s capital, they still needed to ascertain herhis question, Lilith directly shook her head
"I said already, I’er Fina Milan I don’t want to meddle in the affairs of the Bardi Empire, nor do I have the power to do so This time, we came here for a different reason As for the lich Rex…&8221;
She looked over at ly The question in her beautiful eyes was quite obvious: "Should I tell them the truth or not? Do you want to talk to the?&8221;
I nodded without saying anything Although the saying that "an eneht not always be correct, it was probably better to explain things to the misunderstood as the Undead Emperors’ subordinates Otherwise, we’d probably have an unsolvable conflict on our hands where we’d just break out into an all out fight, again, and that would make it impossible for us to pass this fortress city peacefully
"…This person as just beating up Archduke Halent is actually the famously petty Roland, Roland Mist&8221;
Before she even finished speaking, Halent suddenly stood up with incredibly obvious shock and disbelief on his face He obviously knewon my hand, and a radiance shot out froained the appearance of my physical body, I instantly stole ulp Being able to enjoy delectable foods and drinks rather than only being able to watch felt so er, but she knew that this wasn’t a good ti Roland!?&8221;
"Yongye! The evil undying king!&8221;
Even though she told thehts ainst me, not less Even that Jonan placed his hand directly on his sword Was my reputation that bad?
"As the only Undead Emperor in the past one thousand years, not to s in the recent centuries’ fairy tales, shouldn’t you have a little more self-awareness? After all, you’re ranked 27 on the Calas, dear Roland&8221;
"Indeed, my cos Thank you so much for your reh you’ve disappeared fro has even ed to increase How does it feel for people to fear you even more simply because you haven’t appeared?&8221;
"…It’s my misfortune as a teacher I should have kicked you out and refused you as h I kept uparound with Harloys like always through our soul connection However, the dragon knights weren’t calm at all since they had their own information channels and naturally knew that Roland Mist was also Eye, the only recent Undead Emperor
"Has he joined up with the other Undead E so here?&8221;
