Palmonto did his best to create a ‘homunculus’ in various ways.
It was because he thought this was the only way to save the extinct Dark Elves.
The Dark Elves were unable to reproduce as a species.
Human-like body structure.
No offspring are produced through crossbreeding of the same species or religion.
I couldn’t figure out why fertilization didn’t work, even though all the necessary genitalia and internal organs were present.
-It’s a curse. this is.
He set up numerous theories, but Grand Duke Persephone lightly dismissed them.
It’s just that at some point, the reproduction of the species became impossible.
The species itself was weeded out, or if not, the species itself was cursed.
Is that why?
The number of Dark Elves remaining across the continent was less than two hundred.
Half of them gathered on this island, and there were no young Dark Elves among them. Young Dark Elves have rarely been found.
As time passes, it will gradually become extinct.
It will disappear according to the providence of nature.
‘There was no reaction to the other samples.’
Still, I didn’t give up hope.
The homunculus of the “dragon” that was born this time.
It was a huge success, but that wasn’t the only attempt.
If internal fertilization is not possible, in vitro fertilization is the way to go.
So, in vitro fertilization was induced in about a hundred ways.
He created an artificial womb with the elements of the Dark Elves, and waited for fertilization to take place by fusing the necessary materials into it.
Humans, Orcs, Ogres, Elves, Lycanthropes, Giants, Goblins, Wearbears, Harpies… Numerous genetic traits were studied and introduced into samples, but no modifications were made.
But just one thing.
There was only one genetic trait that the dark elf’s artificial womb responded to.
It is Reinhardt’s ‘blood’.
‘All samples containing Crown Prince Reinhardt’s blood succeeded in forming embryos.’
It is the same logic as the flesh of the Bone Dragon.
It was amazing. I never thought that the human Reinhardt’s blood would bring about such a result.
It did not respond to any other traits, but only reacted to Reinhardt’s blood.
But there was a problem.
‘It doesn’t grow, but…’
The embryos created in the artificial womb, combined with the genetic material in Reinhardt’s blood, did not grow. It was the only one that achieved fertilization, but did not progress further from the embryonic state.

Judging that the life energy for growth was insufficient, a fire was lit, but the embryo died in the end.
Palmonto hit the ground and regretted it. I spent the night in tears.
But there was one thing I was certain of.
‘If you’re Crown Prince Reinhardt… you can breed Dark Elves.’
It is a limitation of in vitro fertilization. If it had a strong skeleton like the Bone Dragon, the creature made of an artificial womb was eventually lacking somewhere and had no choice but to face its limits.
Dark elves’ embryos are especially weak.
So body modifications are needed.
I don’t know if I develop IVF technology because I have more time, but until then, can I, the Dark Elf, remain?
So, the best way is to directly combine Reinhardt and the Dark Elf to fix it.
Watching the dragon and the balrog awaken, Palmonto hardened his thoughts.
‘He is the savior.’
He is the savior of the tribe.
I don’t know why only Reinhardt was able to do that, but it was a secret that wouldn’t be revealed unless he dissected it.
However, it is impossible to dissect the imperial prince, the one and only sample.
If Dark Elves can breed again, the ‘curse’ will disappear.
So, Palmonto called Arel closely.
“I heard that you called me.”
“yes. I called because I have something to tell you.”
“…?”
Arell tilted his head.
Among the Dark Elves, Palmonto is second only to Archduke Persephone.
As the ruler of this island and the greatest alchemist and scientist of his time, all the Dark Elves respected him.
But he was not interested in anything other than the development of technology.
When he calls, it’s only for testing new technology.
Palmonto asked calmly, catching his breath.
“Did something happen with the prince off the island?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
“Did you sleep?”
“Are you asking me if I slept?”
“No, I’m asking if you had a relationship.”
relationship?
Arell blinked.
“What is that…?”
“The sexual relationship between a man and a woman. Similar words are crossbreeding, mating, crossbreeding…”
“I didn’t.”
He knew at least what it was through the stories of other elves and dark elves.
When Arell replied with a straight face, Palmonto sighed.
“Are you saying you’re not attractive? It seemed like a pretty close relationship.”
“…”
“Have you ever tried it?”
“No matter how much, even Palmonto… If you don’t keep the line, I’ll cut you down.”
I will cut it. I mean kill
A cold wind blew from Arel’s face.
But Palmonto’s expression didn’t change either.
“It is an important matter. Answer me truthfully.”
Never before had Palmonto asked such an blatantly obscene question. Even more so, when Palmonto referred to it as an “important issue,” it was likely actually a very important issue.
Arel let out a small sigh and opened his mouth.
“······ There is not.”
Although he was caught and tortured by Saint Jasmine, there was no physical contact.
No matter how insane he was, he was prepared to die on his own any time he crossed the last line.
I can be sure now that I have recovered and my memory has returned.
Although he gave several answers, he did not directly reveal Reinhardt.
Not long after, the saintess disappeared along with the paladins.
Afterwards, I clearly remember that Prince Flick appeared and saved me.
After that, when I came to my senses, I was on top of the Wyvern.
“To say that you are a simple master and servant, the look in the eyes of the prince who cherishes you is unusual. Have you never seduced me before?”
“What on earth does that matter?”
“If you have a relationship with him, there is a high possibility that the Dark Elf will change it.”
“ah······?”
The breeding of Dark Elves was the most important topic for Palmonto.
Even in her memory, the Dark Elves and the Asir were able to breed normally.
However, at present, Dark Elves have become impossible to reproduce.
It means that Reinhardt made the impossible possible.
Palmonto rubbed his chin.
“Hmm. I’ll have to find out if it’s you or another child. Do you know the taste of the prince? Well, since you’ve been around for a long time, you must have seen at least what kind of woman the crown prince embraced. You should know that.”
“I have never… never seen him embrace a woman.”
Palmonto laughed.
“hahahaha. Arell. You know how to joke. If you’re the crown prince of an empire, women are bound to overflow around you.”
Arell shook his head seriously.
Only then did Palmonto realize that he was not joking.
“······ I heard you like men? Huh, that’s a bit big…”
“That’s not going to be…”
“A strong adult, and a human at that, shuns women? Is there something wrong with your genitals?”
“Either that… it won’t be.”
“Then what is the problem? Are your eyes high?”
The eyes are so high that most women may not be satisfied with them.
There are times when he is afraid of women, but it doesn’t make sense to have Arel next to him.
Palmonto nodded.
“The prosperity of the race is at stake. Still, ‘Orwell’ is the child that best suits human tastes, so I guess I should ask Orwell to go to the prince’s room today.”
When dealing with humans sometimes, Orwell would step in.
People who saw Orwell’s beauty were mesmerized, regardless of age or gender.
This tended to make trading easier.
If the crown prince were also a man, he would not reject Orwell.
Even Orwell would not be able to refuse it, as it was a matter of life and death for his species.
“I will do it.”
Allel said with a hardened expression.
Even after he spoke, he was confused for a moment as to what he was saying.
It was not a sane answer.
“… Oh, yes? That’s great. Then take this book.”
After accepting the book Palmonto handed over, Arell’s expression suddenly turned pale.
“’Hwang, Hall, Sir. 72 kinds of positions’·······!”
*
face is hot
Arel sighed as he looked up at the night sky late at night.
what kind of weird thing is this
However, if breeding became possible, the Dark Elves would not have to go extinct. It was a serious issue not only for Arel, but for the entire Dark Elves.
But, of course, that target was Reinhardt.
‘Why did I… say something like that?’
I honestly didn’t care.
whoever he sleeps with
Because he was just a faithful knight protecting him.
In the past, I wouldn’t have bothered to object to Palmonto putting on Orwell.
Orwell is beautiful even to the same Dark Elves.
Unlike himself, he knew how to use ‘woman’ skillfully.
Arell is a Valkyria. Originally, it is impossible for Valkyria to have emotions. Naturally, it was an unwritten rule for Valkyria to like someone.
It should be a sword and shield only for the Asir.
But I left without knowing.
As a result, he was now heading to Reinhardt’s room.
‘If he really is the incarnation of the absolute.’
Absolute. The most powerful dragon that has existed since time immemorial.
The dragon, who had watched the birth of the Twelve Gods, decided to erase the sky after long consideration.
He established an ’empire’ of humans and gave swords to the descendants of his blood.
That’s Reinhardt.
An existence that is like an incarnation of the Absolute.
The moment he wakes up, he too must have woken up after a thousand years.
‘I… have a duty to watch.’
It’s like fate.
However, there is a clear difference between watching and being directly entangled.
After awakening, Arell was clearly organizing his position.
Is it right to follow Reinhardt, or should I just wait and see as the Absolute says?
No, it is right to leave him in order to become the ‘Spirit King’.
In order to make a promise with the girl Galatine, you must gather spirits.
But the answer did not come easily.
It was when he arrived at the house where Reinhardt was staying while worrying so much.
“…?”
There was In-young, who was hanging from a tree branch and looking at her with glaring eyes.
“She-cat.”
“… Hella.”
“I should have said it clearly. He is my mate.”
Helena did not give up.
No matter how much Reinhardt awakened on her own, no matter how much she vowed to complete it by herself, he was also the one who followed Silverfang’s will.
Following Silverfang’s will, Hella was confirming him as her mate.
Hella proclaimed to Arel with an angry expression.
“I can’t accept that you climb the stove before me.”
“It was a way to take a walk.”
“right?”
“Hella. Would you like to fight with me?”
“Uh… all of a sudden?”
“Yes.”
There is nothing like sparring to cool off a heated body.
The fight I had with the ‘Balrog’ in the morning was not over.
Valkyria. It was Allel who existed only for battle. If there was a fight that didn’t end properly, there was no choice but to itchy all day.
“Okay, let’s take this opportunity to separate the top and bottom properly.”
Hella came down from the tree.
And that day, Hella’s screams filled the island.

‘When are you coming back?’
Balzac.
One of the five swords of the Demon Church.
He, who had raided the imperial palace to assassinate Reinhardt, had been waiting for Reinhardt’s return, washing his fingers in the capital for over a month.
However, no matter how much time passed, there was no sign of Reinhardt appearing.
The aristocrats who had shrunk were also active, but couldn’t they have gone somewhere?
“hey. How much is this bread?”
“lol. 3 bronzes.”
“3 bronzes? What kind of hard rye bread does this bastard cost 3 bronzes?”
Disguised as a street bakery vendor, he was selling rye bread in the capital.
Since the knights had been chasing him since he attacked the palace, he couldn’t do anything that stood out.
“hehehe, if it’s 3 bronze, I’ll lose and sell. I don’t think there will be cheaper bread than here…”
puck!
Balzac, who was struck in the face by the flying rye bread, clenched his fist.
sick. The rye bread was so hard that it hurt even more.
It could be avoided, but the reason I didn’t avoid it was to avoid suspicion.
“This is a chew. So, are we doing business with permission?”
“Suddenly, what are you talking about…?”
“Starting today, those who do business in this district will be charged a seat rent again. I know you won’t be able to do business unless you pay 50 bronze every day.”
They are thugs who are looking for a place to rent.
Those thugs were all unknowingly connected to the capital’s aristocrats.
It was invisible when the prince scoffed at the nobles like a rat, but recently it has been on the rise again.
‘There were many parts where nobles were involved without knowing it.’
Gangsters who get protection from nobles and run wild.
From the point of view of ordinary citizens, they are the existences that they do not exist.
Nobles could not stand out openly, so they used various methods to break the spines of citizens and increase their wealth.
When Crown Prince Reinhardt came out as the head of the investigation, everyone was unreliable, but at least there were many reviews that he had properly dealt with the corruption of the nobles.
Now that the crown prince has disappeared, nobles are reappearing on the surface.
‘Still, the crown prince is also a member of the royal family. After all, that herb and that rice.’
Balzac hates nobles. The imperial family hated it even more.
Balzac, who was an orphan, was turned into a sword by the Order, but his hatred for nobles was still the same.
I wonder if the crown prince killed the aristocrats for the common people.
It happened because I was working for my own benefit.
“Are you dumb? Won’t you answer me?”
“What do I live on if I pay 50 bronzes a day?”
“That is none of my business.”
If you sold a 3-bronze rye bread, you had 1 bronze left over.
It means that you have to sell at least 50 units to break even.
On average, I sell about 20 pieces a day, so the more I sell, the more I lose.
‘Should I kill him?’
Balzac gnashed his teeth inwardly.
Killing that thug is easier than breathing.
There is nothing to use the blood method. Because if you press bloodletting, you die.
After hiding like this for about a month, I felt like dying.
He came out of the church at the request of Archduke Carlos, but isn’t this too much? It was impossible to keep waiting for the prince who might appear at any moment.
“What are you looking at? Do you really want to lose?”
yes. Kill that thug, and annihilate the thug’s family.
Kill all the humans related to the gangsters, kill the nobles involved, and open this capital.
It doesn’t make sense for him, one of the five swords of the Demon Church, to continue to rot here. It would be much more beneficial to swing the sword once more at a time like this.
“Pull out your eyes…”
“The Crown Prince has returned!”
Suddenly there was a commotion in the square.
Then the thug’s expression hardened.
“Ai, why are you suddenly showing up and fucking…… hmm?”
He suddenly stumbled and fell to the floor.
‘what?’
There was nothing wrong.
He felt something go through his head, and then he collapsed.
When I looked up, I saw that the vendor who sold bread had his mouth raised to his cheekbones.
Those eyes weren’t the same as before.
Eyes full of life.
Eyes that even feel madness!
“finally······!”
Balzac cheered.
Finally, finally, the prince returned.
own prey. The guy who needs to be killed!
