One red and one blue, the paladins played by the two girls showed a gorgeous sword fight that made the blood of all the audience boiling.

Julius showed composure and sophistication in every move, holding up the sword flower, stabbing and attacking, and his steps flowing, like a gorgeous butterfly dancing among the flowers.

Oscar's sword skills are full of wild atmosphere, wide opening and closing, momentum like a rainbow, flipping back, jumping vertically, as if it can tear the floor apart with amazing momentum, like a prey on the top, a fierce beast that never dies.

The Duke and the Speaker no longer stared at each other viciously, but invariably focused their attention on the battle between the two knights in the field.

It's just that...... Just when everyone thought that this chess match would last for a long time, Oscar suddenly weakened his feet, and in the face of the sword momentum of Julius's instant seizure of the fighter, he softly lowered his arm.

“！” Seeing his opponent in such a strange state, Julius forcibly reversed his sword technique, and the huge power lifted a piece of the floor. He looked at Oscar with a dark complexity, as if he had a thousand words.

"Worthy of Julius...... What a gorgeous swordsmanship. In this case, Oscar actually laughed out loud.

“…… Oscar, you...... Did you hurt your wrist!? "The anomaly of the opponent cannot be concealed from the friend who used to get along day and night, and now the sworn enemy Julius, the Oscar who has repelled the empire several times, is by no means only capable of this.

"No...... It's just a bruise. Oscar thought for a moment and shook his head.

"But we haven't hurt each other so far......," Yurius was shocked, thinking of an unbelievable fact, "Mo, Mo must have ...... before the duel"

"Despicable and shameless!" The speaker of Collodo, who was in the stands, roared angrily and looked at the triumphant Duke of Radaux: "It's all your doing!" ”

"Huh...... Please don't spray people with blood. Is there any evidence that I instructed it? The Duke of Rado denied it on the surface, but the sneer on his lips betrayed him.

"Father......" Julius's face was ugly, he didn't expect that he had made such a compromise, but in the end he didn't even have a chance to fight with Oscar?

"It's okay, Julius. This is also due to my immaturity. Oscar's voice sounded, gentle and calm, "What's more, injuries of this magnitude are nothing at all on the battlefield." ”

"......" Julius stared at Oscar, silent. The latter shook off his injured arm and clenched the hilt of his sword with his other, which was still healthy, in an astonishing stance.

"Let's decide everything with the next sword. I will...... Go all out and show no mercy. "Oscar is dark and cold, and there is no doubt about it.

"You...... Well, I see. I'll bet everything on the next sword too. Julius nodded, his body full of vindictiveness. Like Oscar, he used only one hand, the other pinned tightly behind his back.

"The life after that, the smile of the princess, and the future of the kingdom...... The winner will have to bear all the blame. Julius looked solemn.

"And the loser will turn into a soul to guard all this...... Regardless of victory or defeat, they are all the pride of the knights. Oscar's eyes were blazing.

"Hehe, that's right." Julius smiled, this was the way he was looking forward to—

"Drink, ah, ah!" "Oh oh oh!" The two of them opened up with all their might, stabbing at each other at the same time-

The lights dimmed, and the whole stage was silent, as if even the sound of feathers falling to the ground could be heard.

"Sisi...... Leah......" The lights came on again, and Oscar and Julius saw at the same time, who was the person who shouted "Stop" and abruptly inserted into the battle between the two-

Princess Cecilia's face turned pale, Oscar's sword stabbed straight into the princess's chest, the Duke and the Speaker in the stands let out a mournful scream, and the two knights roared in a corner of their hearts.

Cecilia ...... Why ......" Oscar's lips trembled, "I never thought of hurting you......" The princess's blood had already flowed down the sword body to Oscar's whole body, but he didn't dare to move, he was afraid that if he just took a step back, the girl who lost her support would never be able to stand up again.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Finally caught up with ......"

"Your Royal Highness, don't speak!" "Get the doctor here! Idiot! The people around the girl were panicked and confused, and they were running around, trying to do something to alleviate the horrible scene in front of them.

"Please...... Listen to me......" The princess raised her head with difficulty, although her voice was weak and her face was bloodless, but the breathtaking look in her eyes made everyone present have to stop their actions and look this way, "For my sake...... Please stop fighting...... Everyone...... They are all deeply in love with the land of Liberal...... A valuable partner...... Isn't it...... It's just that...... The Way of Love...... It's just a little different...... If we all join hands...... I'm sure I'll be able to break through this wall......"

"That's enough, princess...... Say no more. Elder Collodo burst into tears and turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it again.

"Your Royal Highness Princess......" Duke Lado knelt on his knees, facing the direction of the princess, crying silently.

Julius...... Oscar...... You guys...... Are you still there......" the princess continued calmly.

"Hmm. I'm here. ”

"Yes......" the two hurriedly replied.

"Hehe......" the princess smiled, "there are some things I want to say to you both......"

She struggled to open her eyes, and her beautiful amber pupils were no longer colorless, but the princess still drove her tongue, which had begun to tremble, and slowly said what she thought in her heart at this moment.

"I just ...... only to realize ...... I put Oscar, and Julius ...... The friendship that has been cultivated by growing up together since childhood...... Confused...... Moreover, I am also afraid of ifs...... I made the wrong choice and will put ...... The kingdom is pushed into the abyss of war, such a future...... Until just now, I ...... Only then did I realize who I really liked......"

The two knights stiffened.

"Although I didn't expect the Oscars...... But ......," said the princess apologetically, "but what has always haunted my mind is ...... Julius ...... Around the royal city, Julius was carefully patrolling...... At the tea party, Julius, who told interesting stories...... In the arena, Julius, who won the championship trophy...... Compared to the Oscars, which are competing all year round, I ......"

"Woo......" Julius couldn't take it anymore and tears welled up in his eyes.

"It's incredible...... I saw that scene again......" The princess's attitude was even more relieved when she said the last sincere words, and now she looked more powerful and spoke more clearly, "When I was a child...... Sneak out of the castle...... Play in that little alley...... Oscar...... Julius ...... Everyone was smiling so happily...... I...... I like it...... Your smiles...... Place...... In order to...... Please ............ Always laugh happily...... ......"

Julius gripped the princess's hand tightly and slipped down. Princess, slowly close your eyes.

"Princess...... That's not true, princess! Please, tell me it's not true! Julius slammed his hands to the ground and screamed in despair.

"......" Oscar, whose eyes are gradually losing their brilliance, and the regret and unwillingness to kill the girl he loves himself are drying up his soul quickly.

"Your Highness has spared no expense of his own precious life in order to stop our strife...... Compared to this noble discipline...... How small is the honor of the nobility...... If we hadn't fought each other, this wouldn't have happened......" Duke Rado bit his lip, his face full of remorse.

"People don't realize their stupidity until they make a big mistake...... Why is the soul bound to the body? Is this also the fate of the son of men......" Speaker Collodo trembled and shouted to the sky, "Edes, great goddess of the sky. Why are you so unjust!! ”

"It seems...... You don't understand anything. ”

The lights dimmed, and a bright ball of light suddenly appeared on the stage, floating above everyone's heads.

“… Indeed, We have given you the physical body to exist as a host soul. However, the human soul is supposed to be a more noble and free being. It is not others who despise souls, it is yourselves. ”

"Good, so dazzling......" and "what a beautiful sound......" The ordinary people present muttered to themselves in the face of this scene.

"Oooh...... Oh, my God! Ladies and gentlemen, I am so frightened that the goddess has descended! The archbishop stood abruptly and shouted for joy.

"This is the ...... goddess" "How majestic......" Oscar and Julius muttered to themselves as they looked at the scene in front of them.

"Young humans...... I watched this duel in my eyes. The goddess's tone was full of compassion and severity, "You have the courage to ......" her eyes swept towards Julius, "...... determined" to look at Oscar, "but you are missing the most important thing—your kindness is out of your own considerations, and you have never tried to understand each other's thoughts...... Courage is misused, determination is blinded by hatred......"

The crowd was silent. The goddess turned to Speaker Colondo, who was embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Speaker...... You're too obsessed with the difference in human identity. Have you forgotten that nobles are born as human beings as commoners, and everything is equal...... You have tried to portray them as demons who persecute the people from the beginning, but have you ever thought about the blood of those who fought on the battlefield in the past to protect their territories and people, to honor the duties of nobility and the creed of knighthood......

"I'm ashamed......"

"Duke...... You should know your own sins best, right? But only this time, I forgive your sins......"

His gaze swept to the others present, "Also, the people who watched this...... You are also missing something important. Put your hands on your chest and think about it. ”

The crowd fell into deep thought, and then one by one they showed expressions of shame. The goddess finally smiled for the first time.

"Hehe, it seems that everyone has their own understanding. Liber, then, should have a future. Please always remember the events of today......"

The words fell, and the dazzling light disappeared, along with the sharp blade in the princess's breast, and the shocking wound.

"Ah...... Here is ......" Princess Cecilia, who was supposed to die, sat up sleepily at the moment, looking at Oscar and Julius who were sluggish beside her, she tilted her head suspiciously: "Julius, Oscar...... Don't...... Have you come to Heaven? ”

"It's a miracle!" The archbishop's voice can only be described as screaming.

"Ahh Thank you! Give us back Liber's treasure! Duke Rado complimented heartily.

"Thank you for your great mercy!" Speaker Collodo chimed in.

"Oscar, Julius...... This...... What's going on? The princess was still confused.

"Her Highness Cecilia...... You don't have to worry anymore. The long-standing rivalry is over...... Everything is starting to work in a good direction. Oscar smiled brightly.

"You're naïve, Oscar. We haven't seen the outcome between you and me yet, have we? Julius said half-jokingly, half-earnestly.

"Could it be...... Are you going to keep fighting? The princess asked worriedly.

"No...... This is the end of this duel. Julius shook his head with a wry smile, "Because that fool injured the wrist of the sword." However, it is too much to say that there is no winner in a huge duel. Then give victory to those who can fight no less than inferior under adverse conditions! ”

"No, actually......" Oscar was about to say something, but was interrupted by an abrupt voice.

"You've won, Julius." The princess said calmly, "You deliberately stabbed Oscar to make the shot first, right?" Because you don't want to be told that you can't win......"

"That's right. It was Julius who won. But......" changed the subject, "although Her Royal Highness the Princess has expressed her heart to you, I also wish you all the best...... But that doesn't mean I admit that my martial arts are inferior to yours. Next time, find a state where both sides are in a perfect state and have a good fight. ”

"Like when you were a kid, have a good time?" Julius smiled, "Huh...... Okay, I accepted. ”

"But...... Princess...... Give the winner a kiss of victory today. Oscar smiled, "Because everyone is looking forward to it." ”

“…… Good. ”

As the audience waited, Julius's face grew closer and closer to Princess Cecilia's lips—

"Goddess of the Sky, please witness!" At the moment before the kiss, Oscar suddenly shouted, directly disrupting the somewhat panicked Estelle Joshua, "May today's beauty last forever!" ”

"May Liber be at peace forever!" "May Liber prosper forever!" Duke Rado and Speaker Collodo were also stunned for a second before finishing this part of the line.

The curtain fell, and this climactic stage play finally came to an end. The audience erupted in thunderous cheers and cheers, and in this stage play, the audience experienced psychological ups and downs along with the twists and turns of the script, and the deep feeling of pleasure in their hearts is probably only clear to them at this moment.

At the exit of the auditorium, the silver-haired young man smiled indifferently and turned to leave.

——————————————————————————————

"Heliga, did you change the script at the end?" At the celebration party, Qiao'er, who was drinking juice, asked Heiliga impatiently.

"yes? I promised Joshua the opportunity to interact with Estelle in the script, so he agreed to play the princess. Heliga looked innocent, "It's just that the scene I carefully arranged was messed up by Klos's mistake and shouting lines in advance......"

"I don't think it was a mistake, it was more like it was deliberate......" Hans said ambiguously.

"Huh?" Heiliga scratched his head, what is this trouble?

"Forget it...... You don't understand, change the subject. Joel pursed her lips, "The ball of light that symbolizes the goddess of the sky...... How did you come up with it? ”

"It's not like guiding magic." Hans seconded.

"That's it...... It's a secret. "Heliga pretended to be mysterious, and secretly slandered in his heart, I said that this is a kind of magic light from another world, do you believe it?

"Heliga." Fei called softly, and at this moment, Fei took off the combat uniform she often wore in battle, and changed into a casual costume.

Seeing Fei, Joel and Hans both left with interest. Soon, in the street of the academy under the moonlight, the silver-haired girl gently leaned on the young man's arms, and this scene was clearly seen by all passers-by. But even the most uninteresting idiot should not want to disturb this moment......
