“What, what is that?”
“The Imperial Palace is…….”
“It’s as if it’s become a nest of something.”
‘Such madness.’
The barrier that had obscured people’s eyes disappeared, and the ghastly sight of the Imperial Palace behind the antique iron bars of the gate was revealed.
Every window in the beautiful white marble palace was shattered, and zombies were peeping out between the broken pieces, twitching their heads.
There were stains of blood everywhere, and horrifyingly, there were bloody handprints of people who had tried to escape but failed.
The many zombies pressed against the windows, their faces protruding, looked like demons risen from hell. The central palace was on the verge of becoming a lair for the zombies.
“Grrrrrrr…….”
“Something’s coming out!”
With the barrier lifted, the palace doors opened, and the zombies began to come out.
No, ‘opened’ is too gentle a word. With a crunching sound, the doors were smashed, and the zombies poured out like a swarm of bees.
The magicians were taken aback at the sight of the zombies.
“Du, Duke Keaton, what is that?”
“……That’s the menace of the Imperial Palace my daughter spoke of. I can’t believe it’s true…….”
Duke Keaton’s face was ashen. He was obviously in shock at the sight of the zombies.
“Didn’t you ask what it was?”
I answered in place of the dazed Duke.
“These are ‘those things’ I explained earlier, humans infected with the plague. If touched, we’ll turn into them as well.”
“……What did you say?”
“The emergency situation I spoke of is now. The magicians must immediately work with the Duke’s soldiers to handle these zombies… no, these plagued people.”
‘Right, Zero?’
‘Yeah, for now, the only way to deal with these zombies is to kill them.’
Since the possessed helper said so, it must be obeyed.
I picked up the gun at my waist and loaded it.
In my youth, following my parents who had a hobby of shooting, I received early education in marksmanship. To me, the gun was a familiar and comforting presence that evoked nostalgia.
“Aim for the head. You must target the head.”
“Yes?”
“If not, we will be the ones to die.”
As soon as my words ended, the zombies that escaped from the central palace began to gather at the gate in droves. The walls of the central palace, built with white marble and glistening gold, began to crumble.
“Grrrrrrr….!”
“Heeek!”
The sight of the zombies staggering and gathering, as if they smelled humans, was far from pleasant. The magicians kept repeating, “What’s that?” while trembling.
“Aim for the head when they come out.”
“But how can we… they were once humans….”
“As soon as they catch the plague, they’re no longer human. Get your minds right and engage in battle.”
How many people would be in the palace? How many survived without becoming zombies? I was worried about that.
‘We must eliminate them all here.’
If not, it will be harder to stop the zombies. Then the difficulty of what I must do to go home will become the highest level.
“Grrrrrrr!”
“So, someone is charging at us!”
A single zombie broke through the horde and rapidly approached us. Since the soldiers, the Duke, and the magicians were frozen in shock, I aimed my gun at the zombie.
But the zombie’s appearance was quite familiar.
“……Crown Prince?”
“Grrrrrrrk.”
Though covered in dirt and blood, the brilliant golden hair, halfclosed bloodred eyes.
And the stained white robe, and tellingly, the traces of a human bite on the neck.
“Grrrrrrr!”
“It’s the Crown Prince indeed!”
‘Damn it.’
If the Crown Prince comes out here…….
“Cease fire! Cease fire!”
“How can we shoot the Crown Prince! Even if he’s infected with the plague, this is treason!”
That’s messed up.
In this Westernstyle medieval romance fantasy novel where feudalism is alive, rank is everything.
Here’s the question, how will these subjects of the Empire react when the zombieinfected Crown Prince charges at the soldiers?
Answer: It leads to an exasperating and frustrating development!
Ha ha ha ha! Damn it!
The statusdriven society would not allow any attack on the crown prince, who had become a zombie.
The magicians dispatched from the tower, and the soldiers under the command of Duke Keaton looked at me as if I were mad, saying that they couldn’t harm the crown prince. Naturally, it was lamentable that magic spells, guns, and swords were lowered.
Come on. Hey, I’m a princess in my own right, and they look at me like that? Huh? I’m so sad that I’m the villainess.
‘If they knew that I had killed the protagonist, the crown prince, by stabbing my high heel into his forehead, they would faint.’
It’s a joke that even the nobles who witnessed me cutting off the breath of the crown prince’s zombie can’t tell whether he’s dead or alive.
“If nobody will attack, then I’ll do it.”
I raised the revolver again. I didn’t expect to use this expensive, wellperforming weapon, made to order from the tower here, but it was fortunate that I had this, at least.
