Knight with Wand

"As you said, it's not easy, but if you're willing to seize the opportunity, I have a way to push you." Inis smiled brightly: "To be honest, I don't think of your lord, or even mine. Father, I can give you a reward for matching your current achievements after everything is over, but I may give you a chance to rise."

To be honest, Leon was a little moved.

If I and Lola can really calm this disaster, then the eastern part of Kantadar will undoubtedly be in a state of supreme power vacuum.

Sobonitz and even more places, large tracts of territory have become homeless. How many changes and opportunities are there in this?

Although he didn't know what method could use to make himself a legal principle that he could still gain a foothold in Sobonitz after the war, if he could get the support of this three princess with army and territory, it would definitely be a Good thing.

However, Leon still asked cautiously with this gift that had no clear price, "Your Highness, why do you want to help you so generously?"

"Is this unexpected? You have extraordinary fame, character that I admire, and outstanding abilities, as I mentioned at that banquet, I need someone like you." Body, shook my head gently: "But now I have changed my mind. Compared to an officer or a general under my command, I long for you to be my solid ally, a friend who is strong enough to rely on when I am in trouble."

Leon stared at the smiling girl in front of him, and his heart was still not easily shaken: "I believe that your highness's help will not be free."

Swinging the handle of the fan gently, Inis knocked on his palm: "I exchange this help for your friendship and commitment. When I face difficulties, I just hope you can stand firmly on my side."

She has understood the other person's personality and style from several observations, and believes that even if it is just a promise, it will have enough weight in the other person's eyes.

Leon stared at the blonde girl with a completely different personality from Olivia, couldn't help but frown and asked:

"Your kindness is too heavy. I guess, is Your Highness trying to compete for the inheritance of the throne from the prince?"

These sudden words made Agatha, who was behind Inis, widen her eyes in shock.

The little princess opened her mouth slightly, and after a while, she covered her lips with a fan: "...even I was shocked by your straightforwardness."

Leon bowed slightly indifferently to show his apology.

Inis's eyes flashed with thoughts, and then he shook his head: "Your joke is indeed quite attractive. But unfortunately, as far as I know, no woman has ever sat in Orland or other kingdoms. Precedent for taking the throne.

My brother is not serious at all, and I have many brothers. In any case, the nobles of the kingdom will not support a woman wearing the crown. Unless someone is in a bad mood, I am curious, why do you have such a bold guess? ? ”

Leon was a little stunned when he heard this, and then he thought that it seemed that it was indeed the case.

As far as I know about the history of the Feru countries, it is not uncommon for female knights and baron lords, but I have never heard of the existence of the "Queen".

"Please forgive me for being a civilian, but know that in the legend of Serien, the Holy Prophet who ruled the mainland thousands of years ago was a woman. I thought it was not unacceptable for women to become kings." Leon changed his statement. Answered.

Thinking of the other party's Serien hunter's origin, I can understand this misunderstanding. Recalling the records of thousands of years of ancient news in the royal file, Inis smiled helplessly: "This is...well, I will record what you said. An old precedent, but I'm afraid you will disappoint. Even if people can accept a female king, my father will never allow it.

After all, I would not commit a subversive crime like my ex-tyrant, so that once I have a husband in the future, it would be almost the same as giving up the throne my father received to other families.

If a woman is allowed to be king, this loophole will inevitably become the root cause of the chaos in the kingdom, which must be something my father cannot accept. ”

Leon nodded, knowing that it was because of an example on Earth in his previous life that he misunderstood too much. The current system of the Feru people's inheritance system is very conservative in terms of tendencies.

It seems that the Queen Inis has no ambition to usurp the throne, and no matter what she looks like, at least from her words, Leon learns that Orland's political environment is not very acceptable to a female king.

Although Leon knew very well that if he only wanted to be supreme in his lifetime and did not mind whether the next heir to the throne was his own child, the problem that Inis was worried about was not unsolvable.

For example, designating the heir to the throne as the descendants of the brother is a compromise.

Of course, as Inis said, unless the queen never marrys for life or a close relative marriage is implemented within the family, those ambitious people who try to get involved in the royal power will definitely take the opportunity to act.

"Do you know? What you said just now is almost provoking the relationship between the royal family." Inis looked angry and asked inexplicably: "Do you want to embrace me as Orland's first queen." ? ”

She grabbed the fan, and a strange emotion passed through her heart. Was she moved by this delusion that was influential to the throne?

"It depends entirely on whether Your Highness has this intention and why he has this intention. Please forgive me for my temptation just now." Leon clarified his position in a tactful manner:

"The current disaster has exhausted us. I am deeply grateful for your kindness, but I really don't want to be involved in the struggle for the throne. However, since I am not well-educated and do not understand the law of inheritance, I apologize for my suspicion."

Leon felt relieved. He was just afraid of being involved in the struggle for the throne.

Ines gradually regained her composure and continued to ask: "Since you have made a judgment, what is your answer?"

Leon then stroked his chest and nodded: "You have helped me, and personally led the army to the front line to help me fight against the undead. We have been friends for a long time.

Whether you can help me get anything in Sobonitz, I will lend a hand when you need help."

Although it seemed to be just a standard polite talk, Ines felt that the other party's promise was not empty.

The girl put on a smile again: "Then, it's a deal?"

"It's a deal."

Night fell.

Ines returned to the room, took off the show armor with the help of Agatha, and soaked her tired body in the hot water in the wooden barrel.

Lying on the edge, untying her braided hair, the girl lazily enjoyed the close-fitting female knight wiping her long hair behind her head, and her eyes could not help but look at the breastplate on the table.

Under the light reflected by the candlelight, her blurry appearance was reflected on the smooth surface.

". Queen." Muttering this unfamiliar word, Ines bit her finger lightly.

As if trying to make herself more sober.

But is there any power that can control everything more than that position?

But is this possible?

The little head couldn't help but deduce various different possibilities.

With complicated thoughts surging, she suddenly vaguely saw Agatha behind her in the reflection as another figure in an instant.

". Agatha ~." The girl murmured, as if she was a little dazed.

"Are you there, Your Highness?"

"What do you think of my blonde hair? Does it look good?"

"Your Highness's blonde hair is soft and smooth, very beautiful." Agatha nodded.

".Compared with Miss Olivia's?"

"Uh, they seem to be about the same."

Agatha was stunned for a moment and answered truthfully.

Ines frowned slightly without leaving any trace.

"Can't you flatter me at this time?"

"Sorry, your highness's golden hair is much more beautiful than Miss Olivia's." Agatha immediately changed her words.

But holding the little princess's wet hair, after thinking about it, the female knight still cautiously advised:

"Your Highness. I can't beat Miss Olivia. Her strength is even stronger than the last time I saw her."

Ines seemed to be choked and couldn't help but scold:

".What nonsense? I'm not planning to do anything."

Pushing the edge of the bucket, the petite body fell on its back into the water, completely losing the elegant demeanor in the eyes of outsiders.

The girl buried half of her face in the water and blew bubbles.

Why.

Isn't it me who meets first?

Dead silent night

Anderville County.

In the streets and alleys of the big city, ghostly invisible figures shuttled through the broken walls.

The shrill screams in the city gradually stopped.

Death and fear also spread to the depths of the towering fortress.

In the castle hall, the fire flickered, and the light and shadow twisted and jumped on the wall, like a vengeful ghost with bared fangs and claws.

The old people in gorgeous clothes huddled in fear, the children shivered and shed tears, and the men, women, old and young who ruled this land could no longer force themselves to be calm, and the desperate crying echoed between the columns.

The shadows that seemed to be there and not there flowed in the darkness, and the young head of the family held a long sword in his hand, cursing and roaring at the terrifying things that could not be seen.

But the roar could not cover up the despair and fear, one after another, the family knights disappeared silently, and soon, there was no other guard in the hall.

The flames trembled in the firewood and almost went out.

"Face me! You damned monsters without honor! Fight me squarely!"

The young lord looked around the empty darkness, clenched his blade, and roared loudly.

He tried to find the enemy, but then he heard a burst of low laughter.

That weird laughter came from more than one person, as if it was made up of countless voices.

".Straightly"

The laughter became louder and louder, more and more piercing, with men, women, old people, and children's voices shaking the flags in the hall and dancing wildly.

No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one book, one bar, one look!

".Glory"

Hearing a hoarse voice coming from behind, Lord Kantadar turned around suddenly.

I saw that at some point, a crimson figure appeared on the throne that was empty just now.

The handsome face was as pale as paper, and the eyes were like red stones in the abyss, flashing with both elegance and cruelty.

The demonic being in blood-red armor gently held a long sword in his right hand and pinched the neck of a Cantadar knight with his left hand.

The slender five fingers that were deeply clamped under the skin slowly loosened their strength and pulled out the long-shriveled corpse.

The Cantadar knight, who looked like a dried corpse, rolled down the steps of the lord's throne with a thumping sound.

The mask helmet with a human face and beard fell from the head, revealing the painful and shriveled horror of death underneath, which frightened the noble women and children to scream and cry.

".Your glory"

The bright red blood disappeared on the sharp five fingers and merged into the body.

".Does it contain the fear and torture suffered by my loved ones and the people?"

Feeling the trembling of the soul of the living, the anger in Shaleman's mind jumped happily.

Just hearing the terrifying voice, the blood in people's bodies almost solidified. No one dared to answer. Only heavy breathing and suppressed sobs still echoed in the hall.

Stroking the hilt of the sword, lifting the magic sword surrounded by blood, Shaleman stood up from the throne and stepped down the steps.

The soles of his boots were silent, but every step seemed to be as oppressive as stepping on the hearts of the living.

"Go to hell, monster--!!"

Lord Kantadar's anger overwhelmed his fear, and he stomped on the ground and rushed away.

However, after only two steps, his vision suddenly felt short, and his body covered with plate armor fell down uncontrollably.

The pain hit his brain half a beat slower, and he fell to the ground powerlessly. Lord Kantadar looked back in astonishment.

His legs, in a strange running posture, still stayed behind him.

A smooth cut appeared on the upper part of the thigh that was originally connected to the body. Blood gushed out from the cross section, flowing down the leg armor like a glass of wine. The two legs that lost their support finally fell down.

"——Ahhhh!!"

The painful sound once again stirred up a series of happy chuckles around.

The young lord who screamed miserably supported himself, and still waited for futile resistance in despair.

In the blink of an eye, an arm left the owner's body with the long knife.

The left hand slapped the young man's face, and the sharp claws pierced into the eye socket and penetrated the eyeball. Shaleman dragged the still struggling one-armed body in his hand and threw it back to his horrified family.

The blood-red baron finally smiled, and that smile was colder than the chill in the night.

He would not grant these people a simple death.

Between the pillars of the hall, countless strange and graceful figures flickered in the shadows.

The beautiful faces of girls and women no longer had the pain and despair before death, and their scarlet eyes flashed with eager smiles.

Footsteps approached from the darkness, and the fire gradually illuminated the naked beauties and the knights in blood armor.

The knights took off their twisted and demonized helmets, and their pale faces looked directly at the trembling living people gathered together.

Their eyes were like looking at a sumptuous meal.

"Enjoy the blood of revenge we deserve."

Charleman whispered with thin lips, revealing his sharp fangs.

The resurrected women and men raised their mouths, and the inhuman fangs grew wildly in their open mouths.

The light in the brazier was extinguished in the horrible eating fishy wind.

The blood on their faces gradually seeped into their pale skin.

Enjoying the moment of peace from the countless resentments and hatreds in his soul, Shaleman's body turned into invisible blood mist, passed through the layers of zeniths, and flew to the spire of the fortress.

His body condensed again, and his battle robe fluttered in the cold wind.

The corpse demons hovered under the dark clouds filled with dim light, and the corpse ghosts wandered in the streets where no living creatures could be seen.

The pair of blood-red eyes looked to the west, looking far away at the towering Usato Mountains.

Anger rose from his heart.

It was far from over.

The chaotic hatred had not yet continued to extend, but the magic sword in his hand made him turn his sight and look to the northeast without resistance.

".That.That is not." The vague thoughts tried to let his murderous intention continue to spread to the royal court of Kantadar.

But the voice that could not be disobeyed conveyed the supreme will.

".That's where the enemy is. Go and appease the rage of the Kantardars. They are still advancing towards Rolandar, tearing their souls apart and devouring their flesh and blood."

Endless pain came, and the blood in the pupils spread, instantly filling the eyeballs completely.

The red body suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist, flying across the sea of ​​corpses into the distance.
