Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The Prince had never seen the outside world. In the Palace, no one dared to scheme against him or lie to him. He had grown up in a place where he did not even know the meaning of dishonesty.

He believed Karyk\'s words wholeheartedly. This was a man who genuinely wanted to help him.

\'Mother said that it is dangerous outside. But I see no dangers. They were really worried for nothing. In the morning, I will take him to the Palace with me.\'

The Prince innocently looked at Karyk, feeling extremely grateful.

"I... I would like that," the young prince said, his voice filled with a little excitement. "I have always wanted to explore the city."

Karyk nodded. "In that case, consider me your guide to the wonders of the city."

Karyk brought the Prince with him. Along the way, he truly acted like a guide. Even he did not know much about this city, so he made up a lot of stuff about the surroundings.

He pointed out interesting landmarks and told fascinating stories about the city\'s history.

As they walked, the young prince listened intently to Karyk\'s words, his eyes shining with wonder.

He couldn\'t believe how much he had been missing out on all these years, confined within the palace walls. The sights, the sounds, the scent of the city were all so new and exciting to him.

They visited the grand marketplace, where merchants gathered to sell their items. The young prince marveled at the vibrant colors, the exotic spices, and the beautiful handicrafts.

He wanted to purchase a few things, but he controlled himself, realizing that he did not have any money. He did not want to rely on Karyk to make him spend more.

As if understanding the young man\'s hesitation, Karyk went forward and bought a few trinkets as souvenirs for the Prince.

Fortunately, the person he possessed had quite a lot of coins in his storage. It was something a person could never earn in the outer city, so this was clearly stolen. With this money, he could be considered very wealthy in the outer city, but he still worked for a one coin wage to keep up the act.

Next, Karyk took the prince to a park filled with blooming flowers and towering trees. The prince had seen an even more beautiful garden in the palace, but this one had a charm of its own.

It was lacking a lot of variety and was filled with imperfections. But these imperfections made the Prince even more excited.

He ran through the grass, feeling the cool breeze on his face, and laughed like an excited child.

"This is so fun!" the young boy told Karyk.

Karyk observed the boy with great surprise. Just what kind of life did this boy live that such small things made him so happy?

\'I have been observing him for quite some time, but I fail to find anything special. He looks similar to me but he is different. He also feels similar to the citizens of the inner city in terms of his aura.\'

Karyk did not see anything extraordinary that might make people want to kill him. Why was this boy called a key for the Divine Will when he was so ordinary? How could he lead to the destruction of this civilization?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Karyk had a lot of questions in his mind. He even wondered if he was wrong with his initial assumption.

"Where are we going next?!" The young boy asked after returning back to Karyk.

"Aren\'t you tired of running around? Don\'t you want to return home?"

"Return home? I won\'t! I can\'t return home before morning!"

"Why not? Did you run away from home?"

Although Karyk had already assumed the answer, he acted ignorant.

"This..." The Prince lowered his head. He silently nodded.

"I will tell you the truth." Karyk was a good person in his eyes, so he did not worry about revealing his identity.

The only worries he had was that Karyk might change his behavior and start acting more respectful.

"But you have to promise that your behavior towards me will not change after knowing the truth!"

"I promise." Karyk nodded.

The young prince took a deep breath.

"My name is Karyk," the Prince stated. "I am the Prince."

He raised his head. Although Karyk\'s reaction was not drastic, some traces of surprise were visible.

The Prince did not know that Karyk was not surprised by his identity as a prince. Instead, he was surprised by that name.

He had not expected the Prince to have the same name. Was it really a coincidence that Chaos had given him this name?

The more he tried to convince himself that the Prince was different from him, the more these signs appeared.

"Why did you run away from home if you were a prince?"

"Because my parents won\'t let me leave. They are worried about my safety. For years,

I have been requesting them to let me come to the city, but they have always rejected

me."

"They said that I am not safe and that only after the Ceremony, I can be allowed to leave."

"Ceremony?" Karyk asked. "Did they mean your birthday ceremony?"

The young prince shook his head. "If I was allowed to leave after my birthday, I would have waited until tomorrow. But it is not the birthday ceremony." "They say that it\'s some great ceremony which will change the future of this city. They don\'t tell me when they will have this ceremony. I try to believe their words, but I think they have been lying to me."

"They are worried about my safety, so they give excuses for the ceremony. I thought they would never allow me to leave, so I came myself to prove to them that I am old enough to protect myself!"

The Prince kept explaining things that he had hidden deep in his heart for a long time. And each of his words were registered by Karyk.

\'A ceremony which can change the future of this city? The key... I see. His parents have not been lying.\'

"Do you know anything else about the ceremony they talked about?" Karyk asked the

Prince.
