Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Novel

The Prince realized that something was wrong. When the man was pushed inside the cell, his hands were tied behind his back by shackles. However, now his hands were free? How was he able to free himself without any help?

"W-who are you?!" The Young Prince exclaimed. "You aren't an ordinary person, are you? To get out of the shackles so easily without help... Who truly are you?!"

"Who am I? Didn't you already hear that I'm someone from Yann? I happened to be here when this Empire went through such a sudden change that even I didn't expect. I must say, the new Emperor is really too hard headed, and I think that he would prove to be a much worse adversary for Yann."

"I would much prefer the Alecton Clan's way of doing things which ensured peace between the two Empires! But with this sudden change, things can be much more complicated. That's why, I couldn't stand idle."

"With the current Emperor's mentality, I don't think the peace will last long. That's why, I decided to lend a helping hand in this situation to you," the middle aged man turned around, flashing an amused smile. "I intentionally got caught by the guards so I could have easy access to you. If we want to bring you back to the throne, I'll need your help after all."

The middle aged man didn't seem scared at all. Moreover, from his words, the Prince confirmed that the man intentionally came here. How could someone who can easily come out of the shackles get caught so easily?

"Y-you can help me reclaim the throne?" The Young Prince asked, taken aback. At a time like that, he really needed an opportunity and only an Empire like Yann could provide that support!

"Of course I can," the middle aged man answered smugly. "I can help you get out of this place easily. However, even I'm not strong enough to kill that young bastard. He is quite strong, especially with the Holy Sword of Arecia. That's why, after we leave, we need to get to Yann first."

"After we get to Yann and you sign the documents asking for our help, our Empire will send some great experts to help you. This will also help us improve the relationship between the two Empires. So, what do you say, young prince? Do you agree with my suggestion?"

The Prince was slightly hesitant. He knew that Yann wasn't as righteous as they were pretending to be. If Yann was going to help, they were definitely going to ask for some great rewards in exchange.

They could even ask for half the treasury in exchange. They were very greedy according to the young Prince. Unfortunately, he had no other choice. If he could keep the throne for himself, he was willing to sacrifice the Empire's treasures!

"I-i am willing!" The Prince agreed. No matter what he chose, he was at a loss. However, if he sided with Yann, at least he could reclaim the throne and watch Gabriel die with his own eyes!

"Good." The Middle Aged man walked to the door. He pulled out a small pin from his pockets and used it to break open the lock.

"You think you can break the locks like that? And here I thought you had some skills." The Prince could only sigh in disappointment. However, as he heard a clicking sound, his eyes widened! The lock actually opened!

The man had managed to open their lock with a small pin? He couldn't understand how this was possible.

"Stop daydreaming. The faster we get out of here, the better. We need to leave this city as soon as possible."

The man opened the door and stepped out of the prison cells.

"This man... People from Yann are not bad. Maybe cooperation with them is for the best..." The Prince stepped out of the cell as well.

"I heard your sisters were here as well. We need to take them as well. With more Royals from Alecton Clan, Yann's actions would have more legitimacy," the middle aged man reminded the Prince.

"That's right!" The Young Prince didn't question the logic. He rushed to the cell right next to him. Both his sisters were in the same cell, just waiting in silence.

Azia had also regained her consciousness, slightly relieved that she was still alive.

"Brother, how are you outside?!" Shia exclaimed in shock to find her brother outside.

"We don't have time for questions. Come with me! We are leaving Arecia! We will go to Yann and ask for their help in killing Gabriel!" The Prince informed his two sisters while the middle aged man used the same pin to unlock the second door as well.

"Going to Yann...?" Shia was stunned. Her brother was thinking about attacking Arecia with the help of Yann? Had he gone crazy? That too, after Gabriel let them live?

"Stop thinking! This is the only way to get the throne which belongs to me! Don't worry, I'll finalize the deal! You just need to stand beside me! Now come out!" The Prince kept looking around to make sure that no guards were coming.

Shia didn't know what to say. She just looked at the middle aged man. According to her brother, the man was from Yann. If she left, she truly could have a better life. Yann was slightly stronger than Arecia after all. With their help, reclaiming the throne was certainly possible.

Despite all that, she didn't stand. She only lowered her head. "You can leave. I'm not going."

"What?! Have you lost your mind?! Stop being stubborn and come with me! The guards might return at any time!" The Prince felt like scolding his sister out loud but he couldn't risk alerting the guards above.

"I won't leave. I accept that we've lost the Empire. I've accepted my fate. Moreover, I don't think Gabriel is a bad person. Despite what our father did to his family, he let us live. He saved my life twice... I would rather die than leave. I don't want to repay a life with death."

"You stubborn idiot!" The Prince could only curse in his heart. If they didn't need to sneak out, he would've dragged her out personally. However, he couldn't afford to drag a burden who didn't want to leave as that could only slow them down.

"Azia, you come with us! Let this stubborn idiot stay behind and die! I don't care anymore!" He turned his attention to Azia.

Azia was already very confused. Initially, she didn't like Gabriel since the man killed their father. However, after she thought about it, it was clear that their father was indeed the one who betrayed others for the throne. Gabriel was just reclaiming what belonged to him.

Moreover, Shia was right. Even when he had an opportunity, he showed them kindness by letting them live. He even sent doctors to help her when she lost consciousness. She had heard everything from Shia. Even her opinion about Gabriel had changed.

Another reason she didn't stand up was that she was truly scared. She was already the most timid person here who couldn't even speak in a loud voice, let alone have courage to sneak out of the Empire when they were supposed to be prisoners. She would rather stay here in silence all her life than risk anything.

She opened her lips to reject the invitation of her brother, however she couldn't gather courage to say that either. In the end, she could only shake her head, refusing to leave. She lowered her head, making sure to not look in her brother's eyes.

"You idiots! Have you all lost your sanity? Fine! If you don't come, then don't blame me for being ruthless later! From today onwards, you aren't members of our Clan! Even when I get the throne, I will never release you from this prison!" the Prince ruthlessly stated as he turned his back on both his sisters.

He turned to the middle aged man, ready to leave. "Envoy of Yann, my sisters aren't coming. But don't worry. I'm the Crown Prince. I should be enough alone for Yann to take action! Let's leave!"

The middle aged man smiled in response. "There's no need for leave. That should be enough. We are done here..."

"We are done?" The Prince frowned in confusion. "What do you mean? That should be enough for what?"

"Enough for your judgement," A voice came from the distance, making the Prince hastily look to his left.

The Prince recognised that voice! It was the voice that he dreaded the most! It was Gabriel's voice!

Even the two Princesses stood up as soon as they heard the voice! It was really Gabriel!

Just as the Prince had expected, not too far from him, Gabriel was standing. Finding Gabriel right in front of him, the young Prince was so scared that he subconsciously started stabbing back, tripping over and falling down.
