The King of Knights

In the past few days, she has been dreaming of Lucifer putting a magnificent scabbard down from her body.

She didn’t know if it was just a simple dream or something that had actually happened. Taking advantage of her current free time, she asked Lucifer this doubt. Lucifer slowly listened to her words, silent for a while or ready to tell the truth.

“Your dreams are not just dreams, but real things that happened. At that time, your flame of life was about to be extinguished, and I had no way to cure you, so I put the scabbard I got from Merlin into your body. According to Merlin, this scabbard has the power to shield out all pain, even beyond time, and the person who possesses it will become an undefeated king. The only problem may be that your body will be stopped in the present time. ”

Lucifer’s seemingly calm voice gave Artoria an incomparably strong astonishment. She now finally understood what had happened that day, and the king gave up his scabbard to save her life. She had heard from her aunt about the scabbard as a treasure that was said to be more precious than the holy sword.

Immortal and immortal, isolated from all scars, and never suffer from illness. These are only the most basic power of the scabbard, but it is such a scabbard, Lucifer simply gave up for her.

She was silent for a long time, and then she seemed to suddenly wake up.

“Nope! I! Artoria excitedly extended her hand to her heart, she had made up her mind that she would never take such a treasure.

Such a thing should have belonged to the undefeated king, not something she could touch.

However, it seems that this scene has long been thought of. Lucifer grabbed her arm and stopped her.

“Leah, listen to me.” Lucifelton paused before continuing.

“I’m not very good at defensive things. I’m better at attacking than guarding, like a razor-sharp sword. But the sword is too sharp, sometimes it may hurt yourself or even the people around you, and the existence of the scabbard is needed at this time. If the sword is a weapon to protect the important people around him by killing, then the scabbard is a treasure tool specially designed to protect the sword. ”

The previous battle with Lothar made Lucifer find that there was still a trace of the abyss on his body. It doesn’t matter if these breaths are left over from the battle against Overlord Warnier or when he fought Manus, the Lord of the Abyss. But it’s true that they have inadvertently affected their minds before.

As the last member of the Undead Squad, Lucifer wants to leave a guarantee for his future in advance. And that guarantee is none other than Artoria.

“The scabbard is a guardian sword?”

“Yes, it is also to restrain the existence of the sword when it is raging. I want you to be my scabbard and pull me back when I might become a mad king or even deviate from the way I once was. Only you can do this. ”

Faced with the king’s expectations, the girl knight hesitated.

“Such an important thing. I…… Can’t do it. Whether it is force, wisdom or even experience, I am not qualified. In previous battles, Wang could easily defeat Anses, but I couldn’t even stop him from waiting for the King’s arrival. Such me…”

“If you can’t do it, then no one can do it. I believe in the maiden knight named Artoria, and nothing else. ”

“……”

“Don’t underestimate yourself! If you don’t have enough ability, I can teach you when I go back. But the key is that you first believe in your own possibilities. Lucifer said calmly to the girl.

Insufficient ability, so doubt the self. Because the ending is bleak, I doubt whether my choice is correct. This is also human nature, but what matters is not what the result is, but what you think of when you choose it.

Artoria looked at Lucifer’s eyes seriously, and her eyes revealed a serious look. At this moment, the girl understood that Wang really gave her this may be the only task. It’s like that precious scabbard.

“It’s the best gift I’ve ever received.” Artoria put her hands on her heart, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

Yes, at least at this moment. She felt that the scabbard in her heart was a treasure far beyond the holy sword.

“Don’t get hurt, or I’ll be heartbroken.” Lucifer put his hand on top of the girl’s head.

“Hmm!”

The dull hairs that emerged from between the fingers were shaking wildly at the moment.
