Chapter Eighty-Four: King's Landing
'Is there no solution then?' I asked.
"No, we're a tool for Daqura anyway, even if it's broken, it's a big deal to get a new one. Who cares if we live or die?'
'Then you didn't think about resisting?'
'I've tried, but it's useless, after all, the difference in strength is too great, and as I said before, the soul of the demon king is very harmful to my mind, so many times I actually think in its way, from the perspective of the demon king, of course, I hope that the world is as chaotic as possible, and what Dacula does is exactly in line with this, so sometimes I unconsciously cooperate with them... Until I met you...'
'Me?'
Well, I've known about your existence for a long time, and I had a hunch that we'd meet one day, but I was shocked when you came down from the sky and appeared in the garden. Earlier, you said that when I mentioned my family, I could feel the mood swings in my heart, in fact, it was not only because the two of us had a heart-to-heart connection, but more importantly, seeing you at that time really made me miss my brother, because you two look alike, really alike... That's why I didn't let Bridges catch you right away...' Anna couldn't help but look at me affectionately, tears already shining in her eyes.
'But then you changed your mind...'
Anna smiled bitterly: "No way, I said that I think from the perspective of the Demon King many times now, and I am... It's obviously better for us to catch you.'
'Then why did you send me to visit the dungeon?'
'This is complicated, for they wanted to gain your trust, and to find out if you and the princess were hiding any secrets from us, and as far as I was concerned, it was out of curiosity.'
'Curious?'
"Yes, I really want to see what kind of person the other 'self' in this world is, but it's disappointing in my heart, I didn't expect you to be such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law.'
'That's really bad.' I said a little angrily.
Anna smiled as she reached out and pinched my cheek, it really felt like my sister was teasing her brother.
But then your behavior in the hut was very different, especially when you carried me, and I was really touched to say something from the heart. You're stupid, but you're really cute.' At this moment, Anna smiled naturally, and I couldn't tell whether it was the demon king who was talking to me in front of me, or the girl named Anna.
'So then you tried to stop me from stepping into the trap?'
'Well, it's a pity that someone doesn't get the hang of it.' Anna couldn't help but flick my forehead with her fingers.
'Why did you do that?'
'It's not because of what you said...,' Anna sighed.
Actually, since I became a 'Horcrux', I have gradually begun to give up on myself, like you said, why is it that only we have to suffer so much, and why can others live so happily? I'm not reconciled, really unwilling, so later I even hope that the demon king can be completely resurrected, and it is better to make a mess of this world. But after hearing what you said, I realized that I was wrong, yes, the matter of becoming a Horcrux may not be up to us, but if we bow our heads, wouldn't we really admit defeat to this damn world? From that moment on, I seemed to understand what I was trying to do...' At this point, Anna's eyes suddenly flashed with determination.
'Do you want to...' I suddenly realized something at that moment.
'Get you out!' Anna said as she pulled out a bunch of keys and shook them at me.
Soon the mechanism opened, and I got up and loosened my numb hands and feet, and it felt good to be free, but at this time I was most concerned about something else.
'Wouldn't it be too risky for you to do that?' What if Dakula and they pursue it?'
Anna smiled: "Please, my dear brother, how can you say that you also have a demon king in your body, can you show some courage, always look forward to the future, beware of your princess running away with someone else in the future.'"
"Actually, the two of us are really nothing...", I explained as I followed Anna out of the house, only to find that the guard at the door had already been knocked down, it seemed that it should have been written by Anna, although I knew that this was easy for a person with the power of a demon king, but for a while it was difficult for me to associate this with Anna's gentle and lovely appearance.
'Come, what do you think in your heart and you can hide it from me?' Since you like it, boldly tell people, I think that princess also has a little meaning to you, and this can probably be done.' As she spoke, Anna pulled me through the hallway, proud and confident, like a king inspecting his country... No, not evenly, she was technically the king of this place.
'Who!' When the two night guards saw us, they immediately rushed up, but Anna didn't have to take care of them, so she snapped her fingers and they both fainted...
'How did you do that?' I was surprised.
'Please, I'm the Demon King.' Anna turned her head and said to me with a disdainful face, and at the same time kicked her foot and lay down on the ground to guard, the other party's body shook slightly, looking like a dead dog. This is the first time I have seen the power of the Demon King, and unlike the madness in my memory, this time it is so stable and powerful.
'It's amazing, I never thought that such a powerful force could be retracted and released freely.' I sighed from the bottom of my heart.
'That's because we're not the same.' Anna said as she led me on, encountering several guards along the way, but they were all easily solved by their fingers, and at this moment she was like an elephant rushing into a pile of ants, unstoppable.
As I said before, I and the Demon King have become one to some extent, so of course the power is free to send and receive, but you are different, you and the Demon King are like two relatively independent individuals, no one can control anyone, the Demon King can't command your will, and you naturally can't use its power. Unless the two of you merge one day, then you're no longer Kane. Roger too. Damn, it's too much work to walk like this!' Anna seemed to be annoyed by the increasing number of guards, only to see her raise her hand sharply and wave it at the place, and then the stone floor quickly parted like seawater, revealing the floor below...
'Follow me.' Anna said and pulled me and jumped down, I almost stumbled when I landed unprepared, but Anna didn't care about all this, and continued to concoct the same thing, and it didn't take long for us to go straight to the second floor of the dungeon.
'Stop her, stop her!' In the face of these two invaders falling from the sky, the whole dungeon was in chaos, but no matter what those guys did in front of Anna, it was all in vain, and at that moment I truly understood what it means to reign over the world...
'It's here.' It didn't take long for us to arrive at the cell where the princess was being held, probably because she was so excited that Anna didn't even bother to turn over the key, and just used her magic to make a big hole in the door, and then pulled me in with a kick...
