206 110. The End and the Beginning Part One

Crown Imperial Prince White Olfolse headed towards his next destination while holding a sword of light.

Zombies were still teeming within the capital city’s streets. But they were soon impaled by the sword of light and got exterminated.

“I’ll kill her.”

The Crown Imperial Prince gritted his teeth.

A wife he held so dear to his heart, a woman he cared deeply for…

But now, a villainess so corrupted that for her own profit, she wouldn’t hesitate to defile the imperial palace, and even turn her own son into an undead to use him in her schemes.

Rose Darina.

White simply could not forgive her.

While rubbing his temples, he began grinding his teeth.

‘Rose, just what did you do…!’

Eventually, he arrived at the royal palace.

The Paladins in front of the royal audience chamber tried to prevent him getting any closer, but White simply ignored their attempts and shoved the door open.

And that’s when he saw it.

…The scene of Rose on her knees, Allen sitting on the throne meant for Lome’s king, and next to them, Charlotte and the maidservant in question, Sharin.

White’s eyes locked on the maid. On her swollen belly.

That was…

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

His gaze shifted once more.

“Allen, order this Paladin to withdraw her sword at once.”

“No, you withdraw your hand first, Crown Imperial Prince.”

White immediately realised that Allen deliberately chose not to call him ‘father’ and felt his heart sink even lower. He spoke up again, “Are you planning to keep Rose alive?”

“I only merely wish to go through the proper procedures and have her executed back in the Theocratic Empire’s capital, that’s all.”

“Do you not hate this woman?”

“Yes, I do despise her as much as you do.”

White’s eyes trembled as he stared at his son.

Allen, how can you remain so calm even now? Here is the culprit, the evil villain responsible for murdering your own mother, placed a curse on your brother, and even tried to assassinate you, so how come you…

The Theocratic Empire continued with their relentless pursuit, which left Sharin with only one way to survive this ordeal.

-I thought that Lady Rose would protect me if I said I was carrying his highness’s child.

And that was to rely on the Second Crown Princess Consort. It proved to be easy to fool a woman with a broken mind.

Since Rose witnessed Sharin seducing Ruppel almost all the time, she must’ve assumed that the two of them had already ‘consummated’ their relationship, so to speak.

On top of that, these two women got entangled with the Vampires and their magic was cast on Sharin, the deception became even more indistinguishable.

That one single lie ended up fooling both Rose and even the Second Prince of the Lome Kingdom, Derian Victoria.

Even I would’ve been stewing in shock for a long while if Ruppel hadn’t told me the truth about this matter back when we had a chat in prison.

And now, I was back in that very same prison, staring at Ruppel.

“Are you afraid of dying?” I asked him.

“Honestly, I am.”

Ruppel replied earnestly, his eyes were sunken and withdrawn. Although, his overall expression seemed to say that he was feeling relieved in his heart. I figured that that was because all the pressure crushing down on him had been finally lifted from his back.

With that, I left the cell.

I could hear Ruppel in the distance. He was sobbing.

I hoped that he’d be able to say all those things he couldn’t say to her.

One night would prove to be far too short for them, though.
