Kingdom of Cretea.

The king, the previous king, had been dead for three weeks, and it was not until His Royal Highness the prince announced that he would perform a prayer to the ancestors, and the faint sorrow that permeated the hearts of the people of the kingdom was dispelled a little.

Today, in the square in front of the palace, the prince celebrates his father's deeds and asks for the blessings of his ancestors.

"Boss, cut two catties of dham meat......"

"No, no...... Today the prince is going to hold a festival in the square, and I plan to go and see it. Sidney laughed, shook his hand and refused, and closed the shop early in the customer's puzzled gaze, and the old man, who was already lame, limped in the direction of the square.

The crimson sunset came into view, and the old man squinted his eyes slightly with nostalgia-

This is the time when His Majesty led us to defeat the Demon Descendants!

Under this wild crimson of light, the majestic figure cut off the head of the demon leader, and purple blood gushed out......

I can't remember it too clearly......

Forty years have passed, the king is gone first, the generals are gone one by one, and only a handful of old bones remain...... And only ...... are left

These teenagers are still alive.

Sighing, Sidney followed the flow of people pouring out everywhere and headed towards Kingdom Square.

…………

"Your Highness, the time is almost up......"

Jasper, with a thin face, looked at the time and said to the silent boy curled up on the throne, "It's time for you to go out......"

"I don't want to go...... Jasper ...... "The boy curled up on the throne buried his head in his knees.

"They looked at me like they were going to eat me...... It's scary, Jasper, can I not go...... I really don't want to go ......."

Facing the prince, who was less than thirteen years old, there was almost no trace of pity on the face of the chamberlain, and he leaned over and reached out.

The voice was cold, like a sticky snake sticking out its tongue in its ear.

"Your Highness, the time is up, please......"

The young man on the throne trembled pitifully, and then put his hand on the palm of the chamberlain, and was supported, like a marionette, slowly walked out of the main hall of the palace, and stood on the high platform of the palace castle, through the white marble polished railing, and looked at the almost endless people who were looking forward to it.

After seeing the appearance of the young prince, bursts of enthusiastic cheers erupted in the square.

"The prince is out!!"

"Ah...... Those eyebrows, how handsome, how much like his father......"

"Prince-sama!! Look over here......"

………………

Looking at this spectacular scene, the prince's body was trembling, and he glanced at Jasper beside him as if asking for help, but there was no response, and the prince, who swallowed his saliva, opened the scroll in his hand tremblingly.

Taking a deep breath and slowly speaking, the prince's voice was transmitted in all directions under the effect of the amplification circle.

"Citizens, I am Simon Emma, your prince."

The voice is immature, with a slight trill.

But as if with incredible magic, the square, which had just been very noisy, fell silent in an instant. As if to gain courage from this, the prince's voice became much more stable, echoing in the sunset-covered square.

"My father, who has been called by his ancestors, has left the kingdom he loved, and the people who loved him, and I am here, as a descendant and prince of the kingdom, to my ancestors, the great King of Lionheart...... Prayer! ”

"I pray...... The kingdom is forever! ”

When the voice fell, the whole square touched their chests with their right hands and responded in a loud voice: "I pray...... The kingdom is forever! ”

"I pray...... Terran Yong'an! ”

"I pray...... Terran Yong'an! ”

"I pray...... I will be glorified!! ”

"Hah...... Your Royal Highness, it's really popular, tsk, the royal family ......"

Meanwhile, in the attic not far away, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose leaned his neck and drank the wine in his glass, smashed his mouth, and sighed, "Enviable prestige......

"Your Excellency, although today is a ritual event for the people, as a nobleman and minister under the prince, it is not appropriate to drink alcohol or enjoy pleasure today."

The elegant man with gray temples frowned slightly and said, "Not to mention, talking about the members of the royal family behind his back." ”

"This prestige was automatically created in the hearts of the common people after His Majesty the first Lionheart led us to break the history of enslavement."

"Hahaha...... It's just a drunken sigh, Shousuke-sama is still so serious and stereotyped, it's not good...... Okay, okay, count me wrong, I put the wine glass down, don't drink it, don't drink it......"

In the midst of laughter, the hook-nosed middle-aged man really put down the wine glass in his hand, turned his head to look at the square through the window, the corners of his mouth were still hooked, but there was no trace of a smile in his narrow eyes, obscure and inexplicable.

"Royal...... Is it? ”

At this time, the ceremonial speech has reached its final stage.

"I pray...... The courage of the lion will always bless me!! The glory of King Lionheart will never fall! ”

The young prince's trembling voice fell, and there was a burst of cheers in the square, but at this moment, three roars that did not resemble human voices suddenly exploded!

"Purr...... Roar Roar Roar ......"

This sound that should never have appeared was clearly captured by the eardrums, and Sidney's body, who was immersed in the cheering atmosphere around him, suddenly stiffened, and then the memory buried in the depths of his soul took control of his body in an instant, and the old body swooped forward, his palm propped up on the ground, and his body exploded in an instant.

The fierce wind brushed the old man's back, and the butcher shopkeeper, who was no longer young and powerful, coughed up pus and blood, and then rolled forward, half-kneeling on the ground.

The terrible screams, wails, and the smell of blood constantly stimulated the old man's heart.

Puff ~ Puff ~ Puff ~

The blood that had been silent in his chest began to ignite.

……………………

"Ahh......h Demons, it's a demon!! ”

"Where's the city guards! Where are the city guards!! ”

Confusion, terrible screams filled the square in an instant, and people pushed and shoved each other, eager to stay away from the three monsters that were wreaking havoc in the crowd...... There were only a few guards around the city, and one warrior rushed up and was brutally torn apart by the monster......

"Your Highness, please get out of here, it's too dangerous here......"

The chamberlain guarding the prince's side smashed the flying rocks with a fist, and a stride blocked the prince's face, and the cold voice was full of solemnity.

The Demon Descendants, after the victory of the heroic ancestors, disappeared from the continent, and it is usually difficult to see even one, but at this time, there are three of them!

And they're all gigantic combat types!

Conspiracy! A conspiracy against the royal family!!

"No...... I can't walk ......."

Contrary to Jasper's expectations, Simon, the always timid and cowardly prince, did not choose to leave, his immature eyes were full of fear and the desire to escape, but this fearful desire was suppressed by another scorching and scorching thing.

Is that...... Glory!

"Emma Family Ancestral Teachings, Article 1!" The trembling prince held on to the railing.

"The king shall never turn his back on the people, whether it is death or the tunnel to hell ahead! The courage of a lion shines forever!! ”

"Lion's Courage!!"

With a roar of rage, Sidney slashed down with his sword in his hand, the glittering sword colliding with the claws of a pitch-black monster.

Puff......

The old man's mouth spurted out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes were full of crazy and brutal battle intent!

Never retreat!

With his feet nailed to the ground, the old man alone blocked a monster, and the old man's body continued to open wounds, and blood overflowed...... Behind him were several city guards who were seriously injured and constantly struggling to get up, and civilians with little combat effectiveness.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sharp sword and the minions collided quickly, and with each collision, the old man's body would tremble violently.

Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his vision began to blur.

Cough...... It's old......

Hey...... However, dying in battle with the Demon Descendants is a perfect ending......

Holding the sword rung, the claws slashed at it, splattering a cloud of sparks.

In my mind, the memories covered with a layer of dust became shining again—the laughing comrades-in-arms, the unyielding fighting spirit, the figure that always led everyone forward in front of everyone......

Zheng !!

The long sword in his hand was violently knocked away, and a silver light slashed through the air, and it was slanted into the ground, and the old man's body was already covered with blood, but it was still straight!

Veterans don't die!! What is rotten is always the flesh!

A sharp claw rose high in the staring gaze of the warrior behind him, and then it burst down!

"Ah...... Really, I miss the roaring lion......"

With a soft sigh of satisfaction but also regret, Sidney closed his eyes and waited for death to come, and the image of his memory appeared before his eyes as if he had traveled through time and space......

Comrades-in-arms who intersect with life and death, laugh heartily in battle, and the joy of victory!

The king who leads the people forward.

"Roar, Roar, Roar, !!Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

Roaring!
