The King of Knights

“Miss Leia, Lord Duke is looking for you, please come immediately.” The maid named Victoria bowed and said to the eldest lady in front of her.

The duke she was talking about was also the owner of the castle, or the land. One of the four archdukes of Britain.

“Aunt Rengominia is looking for me, I have to hurry up.” Leah put down her sword, her expression a little flustered. She was afraid of her aunt.

“Go! I walked around casually and the garden was not bad. ”

“When I return, please continue to exchange swordsmanship with me.”

“As long as you don’t continue to do it, you are always welcome.”

Waving goodbye to Leia, Lucifer didn’t lower his arm until the girl’s figure disappeared completely at the end of the road.

Coming to the pavilion in the middle of the garden, he began to enjoy a moment of tranquility. Looking at the beautiful maid lady in front of him as if he had no intention of leaving, he began to randomly find a topic to today’s lesson. Yes, the course.

During this time, in addition to the knight girl, the maid lady is the one responsible for teaching her basic knowledge. It is said that this also stemmed from the order of the duchess. Today’s topic is naturally dominated by Britain, and then a very interesting intelligence appears.

“The Sword of the King?” Lucifer only now discovered that there seemed to be this sword here.

“Don’t you even know? I really doubt where you’re from. All the kings of the past were chosen by the sword of the king, without exception. It was supposed to be passed down from the previous king to his successor…” The maid’s voice broke, and she began to worry about the situation in the country in front of her.

Legend has it that the sword can only be used by people with royal blood, and the people who have used the sword throughout the ages were born from the royal family, which seems to confirm this legend. However, a small accident happened in this generation.

“The king of this generation died of serious wounds in the war, and he seems to have no successor. That’s why you came up with the idea of drawing your sword publicly. ”

It is said to draw a sword, but it is actually another test of using a sword. As for whether there is a shady scene, only the parties know it.

“It’s the method that the four grand dukes jointly came up with.” The maid responded calmly.

“yes! The continent was not peaceful, Britain was surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the previous generations of kings fought nearly a hundred years of war with southern France, exhausting the blood of the people. After the death of the king, the nobility of the country was also ready to move, and the country had reached the point of internal and external difficulties, and it urgently needed a new king to get out of the predicament, or at least stabilize the situation. ”

The Britain in front of you is much more dangerous than the Britain in your own history. To the north is Rus, to the east is Holy Rome, and to the south is France. Although the sea to the west is not in chaos, there will be some pirates from time to time, and the reason why the sword drawing ceremony can still be held now is thanks to the strong suppression of the four grand dukes. But this kind of suppression cannot be long, after all, they cannot replace the king. That’s why they need a new king.

“How do you know so well?”

“Speculating from your words, it’s not a hard result, is it?”

“Isn’t it a rare result?”

Is it simple? The maid was tempted to ask the question, but couldn’t say it.

At this time, Lucifer suddenly changed a question.

“By the way, when does the time to choose the king end?”

“Tomorrow, tomorrow is the deadline. But so far, no one has been able to pull that sword out of the stone seat. ”

“Maybe someone can do it, but maybe they don’t want to do it!” Lucifer said jokingly.

“How could there be that kind of person?”

“Why can’t it be, the country has reached the tipping point of collapse, and with the slightest deviation, the whole country will go to ruin.” Now is not a good time to be crowned king, and hell awaits the new king ahead. ”

No matter how you look at the country in front of you, it is a mess, and if you are not careful, you may capsize. At that time, the anger of the people will undoubtedly be transferred to the new king, after all, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Becoming a king now is not a pleasure, but also requires ability.

The maid was silent, she didn’t know how to answer.

“Still, some fools are willing to go to such hell.” Because those people are smiling, that’s enough’, people who draw their swords for such reasons, give up everything they are as human beings, and thus become the king of ideals, are clumsy and somewhat cute. Lucifer laughed, his expression full of nostalgia.

The light of the dark ages, the king incarnated by the dragon saved his country with one power, ten years of conquest, twelve victories, the king’s reputation was pushed to the extreme. However, such a king ends up with …

yes, it’s heart-wrenching to be stupid.

“Do you know who she is?” The maid was a little surprised, it seemed that she also knew the chosen candidate.

“I know! Haven’t you already told me what you’ve done these two days, and whether in fiction or other art, the protagonist is usually the last to appear. In this way, it will be persuasive and will have the appearance of a king. ”

For a moment, the maid lady felt that the man in front of her was a little terrifying.

“Without saying ‘she’, Miss Victoria, can you show me where the Sword of the King is located?” With a touch in his heart, Lucifer made this request.

“The young lady said, I hope you wait for her to come back.”

“Don’t worry, I’m just going to take a look. Coming back soon, your lady should have said that you should meet the reasonable needs of your guests. ”

“Before tea, we must rush back.”

“No problem.”

Although he didn’t know what this strange world had become like, Lucifer decided to see the legendary Sword of the Chosen King. According to legend, the fate of that sword is linked to the fate of the swordbearer.
