The King of Knights

As the night grew darker, under the moonlight, the two figures slowly walked back to the Duke’s castle. Along the way, Artoria’s mood was a little complicated.

“What if I didn’t agree at the time?” On the avenue of the castle yesterday, Artoria looked at Lucifer and asked.

In the end, the girl agreed to Lucifer’s decision. She renounced her status as king and became a knight for Lucifer’s use. In exchange, Lucifer would lead the country to peace and prosperity. This is a vow they made to each other.

“The holy sword is the proof of the king, the sword is already in my hands, if you want to become the king, you can only choose the way to defeat me.” As for the outcome of the battle, there is no need to say at all, does it? Lucifer responded with a smile to the girl.

The one who draws the holy sword is eligible to be king, but if two chosen ones suddenly appear. The best way to do that is to decide who is more suitable to be king through a duel. Lucifer semi-forced the girl to give up the idea of becoming king.

“I can’t win you, I know, and I know it. I don’t know why, but I was relieved to see that you were about to become queen. It’s easy because you don’t have to bear that ruined future. As a knight, I seem to have become a little selfish. At this moment, Artoria looked relieved.

If her sacrifice can be exchanged for the peace and continuation of the country, the girl will not hesitate. At this moment, she still has such firmness and persistence in her heart, but if the final outcome is a tragedy, the country will still be destroyed, and her sacrifice will become meaningless. Or, if someone could lead the country to the future in her heart, she was willing to give up the possibility of being king.

“Selfish? I think that’s nice. ”

“Good?”

“Someone once said that you can do whatever you want. A girl like you should be pursuing the wind and snow. ”

“But you…”

“You don’t want to be king because you have a strong desire in your heart, but because only you can save the country, so you chose the Holy Sword even though you saw that ruined future.” This is what makes you most different from the other kings of the present. If you’re still wondering, try what you should do at your age. Lucifer suggested.

The girl wants to be king not out of interest, but because of responsibility. In Lucifer’s view, such a heavy responsibility should not be placed on her now, at least.

“What should be done, what kind of sword practice is that? Then become a knight like your aunt. Artoria was a little confused. She seemed to long for her aunt.

“Hey, what’s going on in your head. I mean, try to fall in love. Regardless of the final outcome, it will be a fond memory for the rest of your life. Lucifer suggested half-jokingly.

Yes, the girl in front of me is only fifteen years old, and she is only sixteen after her birthday this year. To say, being in love is probably the right thing for her to do right now.

“Love… In love! This…… This, me, I can’t. Not at all, not for the time being. Artoria’s expression became very flustered, she blushed a little, and her voice became stuttered.

“Oh! Why? ”

“No one likes a girl like me. Because of the practice, my whole body is full of muscles, and I don’t have the slenderness of the noble lady. And what to say about love, I don’t even have a reliable partner. “The girl fell into self-denial.

In her heart, a girl in love should be the kind of aristocratic lady who would do. And because of her exercise, she has most muscles on her body, whether it is personality or body, she is not a soft girl like the eldest miss, so she has some inferiority.

“Too!”

Lucifer’s words made the girl lower her head even more.

“So…”

“So think about me? Forgive my inmodesty, I consider myself a very good knight, and possess the so-called virtues of other people. Although I don’t know the level of the world, whether it is strategy or force, if I calculate it as a percentage, I believe that I am at least 90 or more. Lucifer came to the girl, and he stopped and looked at the knight girl seriously.

With these words, the atmosphere between them became ambiguous.

Listening to this hesitant confession-like announcement, the girl’s brain instantly entered a state of crash. In the future, if nothing else, Lucifer will become her king. The confession in this case, the girl is naturally extremely chaotic.

The story that the female knight and the king had to tell?

“Please… Please don’t make such jokes. Artoria desperately denied it, a little unbelievable.

“Alright! All right! It seems that I am not sensitive enough to the girl’s heart, but what I just suggested is not a joke, really. ”

“I…”

Just as the girl was about to say something, another harsh voice came into their ears.

“Artoria!” The owner of the voice is Lengomegnad, a duchess known as the goddess of dragon blood. At this moment, she has put on armor and is still holding a silver-white spear in her hand.

“Aunt!” In an instant, Artoria’s panic turned into fear.

“You go down and rest first, I have something to say to this strange knight.”

“Him!”

“Go down, rest.” Rengominiad accentuated his tone.

“Yes!” The girl agreed a little reluctantly, but before leaving, she seemed to be a little worried about Lucifer, so she added.

“Rest assured, he’s not doing anything to him.”
