156 084. Ruppel Olfolse -2 Part Two
White took out the latest reports on the Vampires he received from the Imperial Family, and along with the information he had uncovered during his travels, spread them all on the table between us.
I scanned the documents and my eyes caught something among the pile. “This…?”
After spotting the report regarding Yulisia, the First Crown Princess Consort, I shifted my gaze back to White.
“The news regarding Yulisia’s fate came to me while I was making my way through the kingdom of Lome that was embroiled in a civil war.”
Specifically, what he heard was a rumour that had reached his location about a month after Yulisia’s passing.
The rumour spoke of the crimes the Vampires had committed – that they had murdered the Crown Imperial Princess Consort and cursed the First Imperial Prince.
Understandably, White was enraged by the news and he came back home as soon as he could to ‘infiltrate’ the imperial palace.
He tried to find out more about the creature that took Yulisia away from this world and cursed the First Imperial Prince. He slipped inside Luan’s room and saw the boy suffering from a nightmare-filled slumber. White confirmed that the demonic energy causing the curse closely resembled the energy belonging to the Second Prince.
The public would’ve gotten scared and their trust towards the imperial court would’ve fallen. Not only that, an indiscriminate ‘purge’ would’ve been initiated by the Imperial Family as well.
“Even though Archbishop Walter had been threatened and had no choice, everyone related to him would’ve been executed despite their lifelong loyalty and devotion to the Imperial Family. The Darina household would’ve also been held responsible for turning the Second Imperial Prince into an undead.”
Everyone from the households of Archbishop Walter and the Darina bloodline would’ve been killed off for the crime of defiling the Imperial Family’s blood, despite their lifelong devotion to the imperial court.
That would have included men, women, old, and even the young.
White back then had honestly wanted to protect the loyal retainers and his beloved wife.
“But now…”
While saying that, he stared at the most-recent information uncovered by the Imperial Family and angrily rubbed his temples.
“…To think that Rose was colluding with the Vampires all along. I…”

His eyes grew gradually bloodshot. He clenched his fists so hard that nails dug in to break his skin.
“…”
White tried to control his emotions by breathing deeply in and out for a little while. After he calmed down again, he pushed forward some other information towards me.
“Besides, the matters have ballooned past the level where I can deal with them by myself. Indeed, it was the right call to investigate further.” He began telling me what he had uncovered so far, “The bastards have been growing more crafty recently. They also seemed to have become much better organised, more systematic. Not once in the continent’s history did the Vampires unite and form an organisation of this nature.”
White hunted down the Vampires hidden in all corners of the world, interrogated them, and then chased after other Vampires hidden somewhere else.
“The Vampires are targeting the Imperial Family. To be more precise, they scheme to bring down the entire Theocratic Empire. Their reason is quite simple.”
White raised his head away from the documents. His face was flushed red with visible veins bulging on his forehead, his teeth still grinding noisily as if he was working hard to suppress his emotions.
“They wish to turn all living humans into livestock and establish their own kingdom.” While saying that, he gathered up the documents on the table, unfurled a large map, and then began pointing at various places one at a time. “The empire might think it has successfully expelled the Vampires, but it only brought about a far less desirable result instead.”
He marked various nations surrounding the Theocratic Empire on the map. The marks indicated the Vampires, and it felt like they were practically found in every location.
“…Will die today as livestock.”
He was the Second Imperial Prince, Ruppel Olfolse.
He began his assault on Aslan’s royal palace.
