The Knight King of the Otherworldly Moon

"It's terrifying to think about it so succinctly." Lucifer sighed.For some reason, looking at the girl in front of him, he seemed to see himself in his previous life.

The self who burns as the King of Salin in a world where the flames will go out.

How long can you burn?I remember someone asking me this question at the time.How did I respond at the time?

"In your eyes, I'm not fit to be a king?"

"If it were you, it would undoubtedly be a noble holy king. But..." Lucifer paused for a moment and continued with a different tone.

"The king is the cog of the country, as someone squinting once said. With the king as the foundation, the entire country will be transformed into a huge and sophisticated machine. However, other than the king, who supports this machine, There are other small gears. The more precise the machine, the more likely it is to break, and if some of the small gears fail, the whole machine will go to ruin."

"The king is the cog of the country. If the king's responsibility is to promote the operation of the country, I am willing to be that cog."

The girl's expression was very firm.But that's what makes it lovable.

"It seems that you still understand that before you become a king, you are a person first. People cannot completely cool their hearts and turn them into cold and ruthless machines. This is the sad part of human beings, but it is also a blessing."

"If the royal road I choose is destined to only operate in a mechanical way, I am willing to accept this cold fate."

The knight girl insisted on saying her choice, but Lucifer said the coldest words at this moment.

"Give it up, Leah."

"what!?"

For a moment, Arturia's brain was full of anger.It is a feeling that comes from being denied.Will being denied is more irritating than ridicule.She subconsciously thought that the man in front of her didn't understand anything, and was just talking self-righteous words there.She stared at him stubbornly, as if trying to press him for that reason.

"Just through the eyes of the magician, you have seen your destined future. That future is too sad, and that is not the ending you should have." Lucifer calmly stated his reasons.

However, this reason was not accepted.No, it should be said that it was impossible to accept from the beginning.

"If I give up, who will take on the responsibility of being the king, who will bear the hopes of all the people, and who will save this country that is on the verge of being broken!" Arturia almost shouted at Lucifer Earl growled.

In a country on the verge of shattering, hope is pinned on a knight girl.I don't know if it's sarcasm or sadness.

"I will bear it, I will bear it, and I will make this country reborn." During the words, Lucifer came to the holy sword.He put his hand on the holy sword and drew it without hesitation.

At this moment, the shock drowned out the anger.The knight girl's brain was a little disrupted.

"..."

According to legend, the holy sword that no one can draw is now in Lucifer's hands.

"Let's put it down, that burden is too heavy for you, you can't quell the impulse to be a king in your heart, and in the end you will only be completely separated from it and tied to the cross called the Holy King. However, even so, you still let this country Continue. In the end, your sacrifices are meaningless. In the destruction of this country, you are only a salary, and burning yourself is only delaying its demise."

The Lothric may be right, that fire is destined to be a cursed path.If the old era does not end, the new era will not come.This time, it seems to be for the same reason again.But I have a different choice.

"I……"

Lucifer's words broke the girl's last line of defense.Yes, she might be proud of herself if she saved the country.But instead of saving the country entirely, she let it perish again at her own hands.

Maybe he is not a qualified king, this kind of thought spreads in the girl's heart.

"The name of the sword is a firm victory. Your heart has been shaken, do you still have the courage to pick up the sword of victory in front of your trembling hands, Arturia?"

Lucifer held the sword in front of the girl, but the girl seemed to have lost the courage to accept it.

"I... don't know. What the hell is this!"

For the first time in her life, the girl who was educated to live as a king began to waver.If the future she saw was a completely saved Britain, she might not be, but no, it was a miserable future.If the man in front of her hadn't drawn the holy sword, she could still have a trace of persistence.but……

"Put down your sword and be mine."*

no.7 What did he not do to me?

The night was getting dark, and under the moonlight, the two figures slowly walked back to the Duke's castle.Along the way, Arturia's mood was a little complicated.

"What if I didn't agree with me at the time?" On the avenue at the end of the castle yesterday, Arturia looked at Lucifer and asked.

In the end, the girl agreed with Lucifer's decision.She gave up being a king, and instead used the identity of a knight for Lucifer.In exchange, Lucifer will lead the country to peace and prosperity.This is the oath they made with each other.

"The holy sword is the proof of the king. The sword is already in my hands. If you want to become a king, you can only choose to defeat me. As for the result of the battle, there is no need to say, right?" Lucifer smiled. The girl responded.

The one who draws the holy sword is eligible to be king, but if suddenly there are two chosen ones.The best way is to decide who is more suitable to be the king through a duel.Lucifer made the girl give up the idea of ​​becoming a king in a semi-compulsive way.

"I can't win against you, I know, I know very well. I don't know why, but I feel relieved when I see that you are about to become queen. It's easy because I don't have to bear that ruined future. As a knight, I seem to have become a little selfish." At this moment, Arturia was 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. However, if the final outcome is a tragedy, the country will still be destroyed, and her sacrifice will become meaningless.In other words, if someone can lead the country to the future in her heart, she is willing to give up the possibility of being a king.

"Selfish? I think such selfishness is very good."

"good?"

"Someone once said that you can do what kind of things at any age. A girl like you should be pursuing romantic affairs."

"But you..."

"You don't want to be a king because of a strong desire in your heart, but because only you can save this country, so you chose the holy sword even though you saw that ruined future. This is the most important thing between you and the other kings. Different places. If you still have doubts, try what you should do at this age." Lucifer suggested.

The girl didn't want to be a king because of hobby, but because of responsibility.In Lucifer's opinion, such a heavy responsibility should not be placed on her at least now.

"What should be done, what kind of sword training is that? Then become a knight like my aunt." Arturia was a little confused.She seemed to long for her aunt.

"Hey, what the hell is going on in your head. I mean, go and try to fall in love. No matter what the final result is, it will become a good memory in your life in the future." Lucifer half suggested jokingly.

Yes, the girl in front of me is only fifteen years old, and only sixteen years old after her birthday this year.In other words, falling in love is probably the right thing for her to do now.

"Love...love! This...this, I, I can't. Not at all, I don't want to." Arturia's expression became very flustered, she blushed a little, and her voice became stuttering.

"Oh why?"

"No one likes a girl like me. Because of my practice, my whole body is full of muscles, and I'm not as slender as a noble lady. Besides, I don't even have a reliable partner for love." The girl fell into self-denial.

In her mind, a girl in love should be something that a noble lady would do.And because of her exercise, she has a lot of muscles on her body. Whether it is personality or body, she is not a soft girl like the eldest lady, so she has a little inferiority complex.

"Too!"

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

"so……"

"So think about me? Forgive my lack of self-respect, I consider myself to be a very good knight, and I also have what other people call virtue. Although I don't know the level of the world, whether it is strategy or force, if you use a hundred In terms of points, I believe that I am at least above 90." Lucifer came to the girl, he stopped and looked at the knight girl seriously.

Following this sentence, the atmosphere between them became ambiguous.

Hearing this hesitant confession, the girl's brain instantly went into a state of panic.In the future, no accident, Lucifer will become her king.Confessions under such circumstances are naturally very confusing for the girl.

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

"Please... please don't make this kind of joke." Arturia denied it desperately, and couldn't believe it.

"Okay! Okay! It seems that I'm not sensitive enough to the girl's heart, but my suggestion just now is not a joke, really."

"I……"

Just when the girl was about to say something, another cold voice came to their ears.

"Artoria!" The owner of the voice was Lungomiad, the duchess known as the goddess of dragon blood.At this moment, she has put on the armor and is holding a silver-white long 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."

"he!"

"Go down and rest." Lungominiad emphasized.

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

"Rest assured, he didn't do anything right."*

no.8 Ways of expressing gratitude (asking for tickets, asking for flowers)

A gust of cold wind blew, and the girl's figure had disappeared.But for some reason, Lucifer felt a little more chill coming from Lengomiad.

"I always feel that there is a trend of getting darker and darker. Let me guess, if nothing else, it should be the third-rate magician who let you hear something." After a long time, Lucifer said first.

Except for Merlin, he really couldn't think of the reason why Lungominiad would come here to block himself.Merlin didn't stop him from becoming king before, but that doesn't mean Merlin didn't do anything.

In fact, Lucifer's illusion didn't last long.

"Merlin did report a lot of things to me. Including the holy sword in your hand. Maybe you should regret not cutting off his head directly last time."

"Did he even tell you this? Yes, the weak rabbit didn't have the courage to hide the truth when facing the lion. Is your present expression intending to ask for guilt? Because the direction of this country is different from what you expected. ." Lucifer's words became sharp.

His appearance will undoubtedly affect many people, but not everyone can accept his influence like the knight girl.The position of the duchess in front of her is likely to be the exact opposite of Arturia.

"As a family member, I want to thank you. From the beginning, we didn't want Arturia to carry the whole country. This burden was too heavy on her young shoulders, but at that time, no one could bear it except her. This task. That's why I want to thank you, thank you for freeing her from the shackles of the country." Lungomiyad said thanks.

Her words also made Lucifer understand that he had misunderstood the knight duke in front of him.

"Sorry, please forgive my rudeness just now. I thought you were a steel lion king who would sacrifice his family for the country without hesitation. Your words now make me feel a little sorry."

"No need to apologize, the gun in my hand exists for this country, and I can sacrifice anyone for it. It doesn't matter if the world can't understand it, I have never expected anyone's understanding." will.

"You are more like a qualified king than her." Looking at the duchess in front of him, Lucifer felt that it might be more appropriate for her to become a king.

However, this is not possible.Without the approval of the holy sword, she lost her righteousness to lead the country.Now that the holy sword has recognized the master, even if she forcibly becomes king, she will only be crusaded by the other three dukes.

"But I can't pick up the holy sword, and the holy sword doesn't agree with me. Sorry!" Lungomiyad's expression was very calm.She stands here to protect this country, and she doesn't really care much about who is the king.

In other words, as long as that future can be achieved, she will agree with whoever is on the throne.This is the same as the knight girl.

"Sorry? I don't think you need to be sorry, and you..." Lucifer was only halfway through his words when he saw the silver-white spear in his eyes stabbed towards him at a rapid rate.

He stepped hard, and in an instant, Lucifer had stepped back for a long time.A few strands of his own hair floated in the air, which made him now somewhat understand the meaning of the other party's apology just now.

"As a relative, I will thank you. But at the same time, as the Duke of Britain, I also need to test your qualifications as a king. Even if the holy sword has recognized you, it will be the same." Lungomiyad nodded, very Satisfied with Lucifer's response.

"Tested in this way? Should I say, it's really your style."

"Yes! If you can't pass even my level, you won't get the approval of the other three grand dukes even if you get the holy sword. Pull out your holy sword and show me its true brilliance."

"Really? So, rude." Lucifer pulled out the holy sword from his waist, and the light covered the entire body of the sword.It was a shining sword that embodies the belief in victory.However, Lucifer did not stop there.

"May the fire coexist with me."

Along with the chant of the incantation, Lucifer swung the sword, and a flame spread along his arm to the entire sword.This time it was not the fire of sin, but the fire of the beginning.

"Very good! It is this power that radiates light in the dark, dispels the cold, lights up the entire dark age, gives the people hope and continues the fire of the whole country. Go on!"
