Chapter 266: The King—The Girl
On the large iron bridge connecting the seventh and twenty-second school districts, the lonely figure of the girl leaned on the railing.
It's not a bad place, so there's only cars coming and going behind the girl. Although many drivers are curious about why this beautiful girl is in such a place, the tight pace of life makes them have no time to stop and ask.
A gust of wind blew on the bridge deck, raising the girl's blonde hair.
School City and Chen Xiaofeng's life together is very comfortable, and it makes Artoria forget her original intention. Looking down at his empty hands.
I held it like I was holding a sword.
"I ...... Is it really suitable to be a king? Artoria asked herself more than once.
In order to confirm this, at the moment of her death, Artoria told the goblins of the lake her wish to return to the moment when the "king" was re-elected.
If she had gone back in time, Artoria would not have pulled out that sword.
There must be someone more suitable to be a king than her. Artoria thinks so.
The girl raised her head, her hands relaxed, and her eyes looked into the distance, on the river below the bridge, slowly passing several cargo ships.
King...... Battlefield...... Winning ...... Lose......
It was as if my mind had been pulled back to that moment.
The sky was stained red with blood, and it was impossible to tell the time, maybe it was dawn, maybe it was dusk. Even if you look at the situation, you can't tell which one it is.
Under the vast blood-red sky is an endless blood-stained grassland.
Stretching out his hand, it seemed to grasp the unreachable sky, here, is the battlefield where Artoria increased his Mercedes, but at this moment, there is only one person.
There were no cavalry under the maiden, no infantry.
Endless grasslands.
Under the sky dyed by dull colors, it is full, giving people a feeling of depression to the point of explosion.
No matter how you look at it, these are the traces left after the Great War.
Such a tragic scene did not make people's emotions tremble.
Because for her, it's something she takes for granted.
The maiden is accustomed to supporting her body with a golden sword. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders slowly relaxed.
The war should be over, right?
After one last glance at the corpses of the local soldiers, the girl headed for her position.
It was just one of the many wars that the girl had experienced, and her calm attitude has not changed to this day.
As soon as the sword was drawn, the girl was no longer human.
After becoming the new king in place of his father, he became the body of the allegiance of many knights.
She was known to the people as King Arthur or Alteria, and the life of a young girl who aspired to become a knight changed completely.
The maiden appeared in front of the whole nation as the son of the king.
But the king who rules the kingdom is not a man, but he will be dissatisfied, and the only people who know that the king is a maiden are her father and a magician.
The girl covered her body with silver-white armor and decided to seal that fact for the rest of her life.
Of course, it is impossible not to find strange people.
However, the Knight King holding the sword could not hurt him, nor did he age. The sword in the stone has the blessing of the goblins in the lake, and those who have it can not grow old or die.
Therefore, although the king was small in body and handsome as a woman, he was unanimously regarded as a beautiful young man.
So that's not a problem.
In fact, the king is invincible. He will not show mercy to his opponent because of his small size and Miao Rong's handsomeness.
The people invaded by foreign tribes want a strong king to protect them, and the knights on the galloping battlefield want a good king to lead them, and that's it.
And Arturia has it all.
Therefore, no one cares who the king is, not even if he is a woman or a child.
As long as the country can be well protected, then it will be fine.
The new king is very fair and selfless, and almost always leads the charge.
On the battlefield, Artoria did not know what defeat was.
Artoria's army, which was composed of ancient forms of horseback riding, rode freely on the battlefield, and with this ability, under the leadership of the king, the army of the kingdom broke through the foreign infantry and broke through several castles.
A young girl often plays the vanguard on the battlefield because the country is behind her.
Because it is not possible to meet the enemy and not abandon some people.
Because of war, it is not possible not to kill all the enemies.
In order to protect the country, it is also human nature to drain the villages of one's own country and reorganize their armaments. Perhaps in Artoria's subconscious, these are all true. But in a way, there are no knights who have killed as many people as her, right?
Would such a thing weigh on the king? Perhaps, in the dead of night, the king will still feel lost, right?
However, the figure of Mercedes on the battlefield was not confused.
When he sat on the throne, he didn't close his eyes because of these confusions.
She only did this to protect her people from being violated, nothing more.
Moreover, the king is not a man.
If you have human feelings, you can't protect people. The maiden strictly abides by that vow. Plan the country completely rationally and punish people completely justly.
But even so, after several wars ended victoriously, after uniting the tribes, and punishing the enemies who resisted, "King Arthur did not understand human feelings. "
The knight who approached him whispered to himself.
Wang is so perfect, so perfect that it makes people doubt it.
Without human feelings, people cannot govern people and guide the nation.
Several famous knights left the royal city, but, even so, the king gladly accepted it, believing it to be part of his rule.
The handsome, undefeated knight king, whom the knights glorified, was gradually isolated. However, for the king, it was a trivial matter that did not matter.
Even if he was turned away, feared, and betrayed, the king's heart remained the same.
Not at all.
Beginning when she made up her mind to hold the sword, when she drew the sword, Artoria gave up her feelings.
And so, the last battle began for the king. The battle on Barton's Hill ended with a great victory for the king, and the overwhelming results caused the foreigners to pray for peace.
After a short wait, the dying nation finally got a brief peace.
relied on the absolute strength of the king to end the war.
Britain is finally slowly returning to the country of her dreams......
That's how it should be...... But......
Artoria's hand gripped the iron railing of the bridge, and her princess and her most trusted knight betrayed her.
Even the princess, who was set up to hide her eyes, had a lot of feelings with Artoria - not that kind of lust; In addition, he is also her most trusted knight......
Maybe at a certain moment in history, what you did was doomed to such an ending......
Artoria shrugged her shoulders weakly.
"Huhu~"
There was the sound of a girl's gasp around her.
"I've finally found you, Artoria."
