131. The Crown Prince's Tragedy

The entire kingdom became in an uproar due to the black magic disaster that struck the three kingdoms. The royal family, the nobles, as well as the entire royal people were killed one by one with cruel deaths where their skin blistered slowly.

They also could not escape to other places because people from other kingdoms were preparing to kill their lives when they arrived in their country. Indeed there is no evidence that diseases caused by black magic can be contagious, people will certainly be frightened by the possibility of it because it is seen from their wounds that are very similar to leprosy.

Within two days, about seventy percent of the population in the three kingdoms had been killed. The rest of the time waits until they are all completely eliminated from the world. Worse still, most of the kingdoms around them, instead of providing aid, were, instead, it is preparing to annex the territory of the three kingdoms when the entire population has disappeared and the curse disaster subsided.

The Kingdom of Amora with King Buldoph as its king is one of the three kingdoms that still have a conscience to be moved in providing assistance by providing funds and their sacred witches to treat the citizens of the three kingdoms who has a black magic curse.

The other two kingdoms were the neighboring Empire in the north, the Ageng Empire, as well as the other one was the Silya Kingdom located far away there at the southwestern tip of the continent. The sacred witches with the financial backing of their respective kingdoms moved together towards one of the northernmost fringes of the Onyx Kingdom, one of the kingdoms affected by the black magic curse is located most in the north.

The arrival of the holy witches proved successful in saving several lives for those affected by the curse who lived quite far from the center of his curse in the royal capital. Unfortunately, the amount they were able to save was not much, given the limited number of them.

Even so, as many as 132 people from two villages there managed to save them.

The disaster quickly ended. In just five days, all three regions of the kingdom were wiped out by the energy of the curse in which out of a total of over 3 billion lives, the kingdom was wiped out, only 132 lives were saved thanks to the help of the holy witches of the three generous kingdoms.

Although to call the Kingdom of Amora a savior is somewhat of a dilemma also about all these disasters caused by the former crown prince of the kingdom. I myself do not care about all that, about his life that drifted it was just a mere NPC.

Oh yes, why do I call the former crown prince, because now the Second Prince has been officially appointed as crown prince a day ago for the stability of the kingdom because too long the former crown prince disappeared.

“Adrian's bodyguard, quickly open the door. Hot knows!” Well, even though it was his grumpy nature and his childishness that always told me to be haphazard did not change.

The days passed peacefully after that. Perhaps it was because it was affected by the former crown prince's previous remark or it was indeed the source of his own kind heart, since being appointed crown prince, he said, The Second Prince took more time to help the citizens of the troubled kingdom.

With his status rising, the incentives given by the kingdom were growing so that more things could be done by the second prince for the people.

In one case, a young girl was caught stealing bread at the market for admitting that she and her sister were starving, and there were no children left but the two of them.

But after that, the second prince took the boy and his sister to school to learn by promising to meet their needs until the younger brother turned 15. After that, they should be able to make a living on their own. Of course, the funds were taken from the Second Prince's own pocket money which increased thanks to his position as crown prince.

In one case, anyway, there are many buyers in the market who complain about the price of sea fish soaring high because of the scarcity of the goods about the black magic disaster that has just hit the kingdom in the west that causes the number of wild corpses scattered around the south the kingdom's territory is directly adjacent to one of the kingdoms affected by the curse.

The curse disaster has been officially declared over, but it has not also eased the fear of fishermen to find fish by having to cross land areas full of corpses. In addition to the fear of contracting a curse, although of course it is not true because basically it has not been proven that the curse can be contagious, they are also disturbed by the pungent smell of the corpses.

Knowing this, the Second Prince immediately raised the matter through collecting complaints of citizens who were wronged in writing and then submitted to the King. Unfortunately this time, the funds needed to address the problem were more than what the Second Prince could afford so he had to ask for help directly from the royal funds.

I dare to guarantee, if the funds in his pocket were sufficient, it would have been issued without a second thought. Such was the second nature as long as I knew him when I arrived in this world.

The kingdom which was basically a prosperous kingdom thanks to its silk and honey imports, was not a big deal in providing financial assistance on the matter that the Second Prince had posed. The problem is human resources that can jump into it directly.

Currently, the kingdom is still busy guarding the case of the disappearance of the former crown prince. Without hesitation, the Second Prince volunteered himself to take over the matter by carrying his entire army to come with him. Of course I as his loyal bodyguard also want to not have to come with him.

It took us about ten days to get to the southernmost region of the kingdom, the only area bordering the sea where the royal citizens could catch the fish. Once we got there, we could smell the stinging smell of dead bodies. What the former crown prince started was a terrible disaster that humanity could not forgive.

Once we got to that place, we immediately began our work of clearing the corpses of refugees trying to save themselves from the black magic curse disaster by crossing into the border region of our kingdom.

We immediately began the work without rest because to rest, we could not be very disturbed by the stench of the corpses.

It took us about ten days to clear the entire region of corpses. Then it took ten days for us to return to the kingdom. Thus, we appropriately used a total of one month for the task.

Although it overwhelmed us, the results were not in vain. Quickly, the price of the fish managed to stabilize again and the citizens also praised the kindness of their new crown prince.

I thought after that, the good thing that would happen in the kingdom and the second prince could soon ascend to the throne two months later with the resignation of the old king from his position on the subject of old age. But the disaster happened too. The king was killed in his own room and the second prince was accused of being the mastermind of the murder.
