Become a martial girl

Chapter 518 The Breakup Between The Two

"Oh, sir? What are you doing here?"

"Your Highness... did you get up so early? There is still some time before class, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"...I went to see my father... But, Uncle Zhen said that my father is very busy and won't let me see my father..."

"... Your Highness..."

"But I'm not worried. Father, he has a lot of things to do, right? So I know very well. Besides, father must be doing what the teacher said, trying to be a good king for the prosperity of Silver Moon, right? Long When I grow up, I will also become a king who fights to protect Yinyue just like my father did."

"Your Highness..."

"Ah, let's not talk about that. Teacher, what are you doing in the garden? What is this thing you are holding...?"

"...Hehe, it's a weapon. It's called a 'sword'."

"Sword??? Teacher, let me touch it... woo... so... so heavy...!"

"Ah. For His Highness who is still only eight years old, maybe it is not very understandable. Your arm strength is not enough. It is too early to swing the old minister's 'Cang Yue'."

"Don't underestimate me! Teacher! This... this... sword... I remembered! Those soldiers wear swords on their waists! They use this thing to protect us!"

"Yes, Your Highness. The veteran's sword was also wielded to protect Yinyue."

"Guardian...!!! Teacher! It's not time for arithmetic class yet, can you teach me how to use this thing called 'sword'?"

"Your Highness, do you want to learn?"

"Hmm! I want to learn! You said just now that the 'sword' is something used to protect others, right? So, I want to learn it too, to protect my father!"

"Protect Your Majesty?"

"Hmm! Father didn't see me because I was too young to help him, right? So, as long as I learn how to protect Father's 'sword', then I will definitely be able to protect Father's sword." Before I become a king, I can use this thing to protect my father. After I become a king, I can use this thing to protect Silver Moon!"

"……………………"

"Well... teacher, what's the matter? That... Is it wrong for me?"

"... Your Highness..."

"Woo... teacher? I... I don't know much about what to say... I must have said something wrong just now, right? Teacher? Teacher?"

"No, you are right. Your Highness, I hope you will always remember what you said just now. No matter how many years you pass in the future and how difficult your life is, please don't forget what you just said."

"…………teacher……?"

"Don't forget...never forget...hope you...never forget..."

——————————————————————————————

Mengdie's footsteps stopped.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze at this moment.

The rain in the sky continued to splash, but the wild lightning and strong wind seemed to be afraid of something, and completely disappeared.

Crackling, the rain hit the ground, splashing one ripple after another.

The hundreds of people who did not enter the platform stared blankly at what happened in front of them, all of them opened their mouths, stunned.Including Sasara, including Aia and Nia, and even that Xio who always showed an inconspicuous smile, which made people guess his mind.

Of course, it also includes Mengdie.

All eyes are directed in one direction.There, the sword of the king, Yinyue, stands proudly.The rainwater slid down the sword body, and the blood on it had been washed away at this moment, revealing the clean color underneath without the slightest taint.

And Yinyue's sword hilt was held in a person's hand.In the hands of a person who was in a near-death state just now and seemed completely unable to move...

He just stood there.Standing in the rain.

The wound on his body was still bleeding, and his complexion was still so pale.But even though his feet were already stained with his own blood, he continued to stand in front of the old king with his head bowed and his sword in hand.The cold sword light seemed to declare that anyone who dared to take a step would become his enemy.

Edward Lanxi Demoore.

The man's eyes were empty, and there was no expression on his face.But it was such a haggard face that looked half-comatose, but it still stood in front of Mengdie.

Mengdie's gaze shifted from the old king to Edward.His gaze swept from his face to the sword in his hand - Yinyue.Two years later, the King's Sword was held in his hands again, but the feeling was completely different from before.What was it like?
Sharp, but restrained... The feeling emanating from this person brought the same feeling that Mengdie felt from a man known as "Sword Master" before!
"……Step aside."

Mengdie clenched the dagger in her hand.

Edward didn't move.His vision was already blurred, and he seemed to be standing in front of Mengdie just out of instinct.

"I told you to get out of the way."

Mengdie took a step forward, and the dagger turned into a gauntlet, covering her left arm.

Edward still didn't move.On the contrary, as Mengdie took a step, his posture of holding the sword began to change.The posture of the blade pointing to the ground...is the ready posture of Sword Master Six Swords!
"Humph!"

Since he didn't speak, Mengdie had nothing to say.Look at the old king behind him, his chest has bulged, and a blood-red sarcoid has grown from his heart.There was a dim red light emitting from this sarcoma, which kept turning on and off like a heartbeat.Mengdie snorted, and immediately quickened her pace to bypass Edward's side, attacking the old king from the side.

"Shh!"

"Woo!!!"

I didn't see what was going on, just relying on my keen sense of danger!Mengdie's footsteps stopped instantly, and at the same time quickly retreated!But her speed was still a little slower by half a beat, only to feel that the cold light swept away, and a section of her hair was cut off by the cold light, floating in the rain!

what happened?That sword just now...was "Shang"? !how come?Edward's sword before...would it be that fast? !

Edward still stood there blankly, as if he hadn't moved at all.From the perspective of others, they only thought that Mengdie suddenly braked suddenly and backed up while rushing forward.Not to mention the movement of swinging the sword, I'm afraid even Jianguang can't see it.

The sarcoma on the old king's chest was still growing.But at this moment, Mengdie might not be able to kill him easily.The girl's gaze was completely shifted to the prince, looking at his pale face, scattered and lifeless eyes, expressionless mouth... and the sharp silver moon in his hand.

"Edward... Do you really want to fight me for him?"

Mengdie touched the gauntlet on her right hand, and the green ring on her left hand was also formed at the same time.She walked slowly to the front of Edward, and said with her hands behind her back.

Edward's head is still down, is he unconscious?The blood on his body must have almost flowed out.In this case, if he really wants to fight Mengdie, is it possible for him to win?
long time... long time...

Mengdie was waiting for the other party's answer.And her waiting did not respond until a long time later.The prince opened his mouth slowly, and spit out a sentence——

"Mengdie... Let me ask you... Am I... wrong?"

The downpour of rain poured down on his head, making his bloodless face look even paler...

"...No, you are not wrong. You are protecting your father. There is absolutely nothing wrong with protecting your own relatives. But I ask you, Edward. Am I wrong?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Edward again.He stood quietly like a sculpture... standing...

"You... are not wrong..."

A choked sound squeezed out of his throat.

"Yes, we are all right. But we are all right, and this battle must go on. Edward, I advise you one last thing, get out of the way."

"Dream... Butterfly... I too... I beg you one last time... Let go...Father... Please...you..."

"This is impossible." Mengdie finally put on a fighting posture, looking at Edward in front of her sternly, "Because of a 'let go', I killed Ellen and ruined her country. From then on, I will never Let go of any 'threat'. Your father must die, even for the silver moon you guard, he must die!"

"yes……?"

Edward's head lowered even lower.After being drenched by the rain, he suddenly raised his head...!
In those golden scattered pupils, there were two water marks!
"But I... still want to beg you... let him go...!"

The next moment, Mengdie disappeared from everyone's eyes.But almost at the same time, Edward's body, which was as motionless as a sculpture, moved in an instant!There was only a loud "dang", and Mengdie's white tail appeared in front of everyone again!And the emerald gauntlet of her right fist has also collided fiercely with Edward's silver moon sword!
Yinyue is the sword of the king.As the first of the twin swords, this sword is also cast from the hardest ore in the world, Almunia ore.For Cui, whose arm armor was also mixed with Almunia ore, it was definitely not a weapon that could be easily destroyed!

No, from another perspective, this ancient weapon that has experienced too much history is the most difficult weapon that Mengdie has encountered in this world!

The fists and swords intersected, and the bodies of the two were bounced away.Edward just took two steps back, and stood firmly in front of the old king, trying to bear the shock force brought by the force.Mengdie, on the other hand, jumped backwards to absorb the impact of power.

(Edward...Your desire to protect your father...is able to arouse such a powerful force in you! Even...it is you with such a broken body!)
Mengdie landed on the ground, and the landing footsteps made some splashes.She raised her head, but saw a sharp cold light piercing towards her brow.
