The moonlight shone crookedly on Irene's windowsill, through the glass, on her desk.

She sat at her desk, lit a candle and wrote with her head down.

"The situation in the Lion King Capital seems to be getting more and more complicated, and in the near future, there is likely to be a storm. I need to be careful. ”

"The king is suspicious of me, but I think slowly, he will understand. The Beshir family has reclaimed everything that belongs to them, and I have no interest in his throne. ”

"The other two dukes have made a move, but as long as I don't get involved, they shouldn't be rash when it comes to ensuring that the king's power is strong. ”

"Gray ......" Irene's pen paused, raised her head, happened to see a silver moon, immediately smiled with satisfaction, lowered her head and continued to write: "No matter what, he will be on the side of justice." As long as he is there, then there should be no problem. ”

"The kingdom of Allen is on the move, the two dukes are on the move, and so is the king. However, if we deal with it carefully, we can avoid this unnecessary civil unrest......"

In another room downstairs from her, Shelley sat on the couch, her cheeks propped up, and she was almost asleep, rubbing her eyes vigorously.

Pastor Dean walked back and forth, his face anxious.

"A day has passed, and I haven't even seen the Paladin's face. It's over. Where did His Majesty take him?"

"What are you looking for Gray for?" asked Shelley, confused.

"Also...... It's nothing, just talk about something. Dean said with a weak heart.

"Are you going to talk for a long time?"

"If it goes well, it shouldn't be used. ”

"Rest assured, Gray doesn't usually refuse other people's requests. So, when you see him in a while, you should be able to finish the conversation at once. ”

"Really? That's great. Dean wiped his sweat violently and laughed vigorously.

At this moment, none of them knew that at the top of the bell tower of Pierce Cathedral, which could be seen from the window, two demons were staring at them from a distance.

Turning her face sideways, Zeda looked in the other direction.

......

Pushing the door open slightly, Count Grugrew saw seven or eight people sitting around in the dark room.

In the middle is none other than the Duke of Donguis. Bloated and obese figure, in his fifties, with a rugged beard, a thick gold necklace, and a ring full of ten fingers.

Seeing Count Gruglu, he smiled, picked up his wine glass and said, "Let's welcome the future father-in-law of the paladin together." ”

"Welcome!" the others all raised their glasses and looked at Count Grugrew with a smile.

"Oh no, it should be the father of the future father-in-law of the paladin. Duke Dongis added.

It stands to reason that none of these people should be in the Lion King Capital now, but in fact, they are all there. I didn't come to attend the king's canonization ceremony, so what did I come for?

Count Grugrew froze, his eyes widened, and he held his breath.

Duke Fernández stood behind him and whispered, "You don't need to come forward, no one will know that you have joined us. Just help us push it when it matters most. We can guarantee that the Gruglu family will gain a larger territory than they have now. ”

Silence, long silence. There was so much silence that the smiles of the toasters in the room froze a little.

However, after a long silence, Count Grugrew took a deep breath and finally stepped into the room.

"Cheers to our common future!" shouted Duke Tangis.

"Cheers!"

All of a sudden, everyone cheered.

Outside the window, the same Pierce Cathedral, Tavia and Zeda, two demons are quietly peeping with unusual vision.

......

Another direction of the Lion King's Capital.

On the roof, Catherine was already trembling with rage.

Vivien, who was sitting on the chimney opposite, was smiling and playing with the ball in her hand, her gaze full of provocation.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have been invited here, because a demon and an angel, there's really nothing to say. ”

"You promised me I wouldn't reveal Gray's identity!"

"Yes, I did. Did I expose him? No. ”

"But you're egging him to reveal his identity!"

"No, I don't either. To be precise, I'm just guiding him to see the truth of the world. ”

"He's just a kid! He doesn't understand anything, it's really possible to do what you say!"

"Do you know he's a child?" the smile on Vivian's face vanished, and she said coldly, "Don't you feel ashamed to seduce children who are not deeply involved in the world to believe in the Holy Spirit?"

"You!" Catherine was angry, and opened her mouth, but she could not say a word.

After a pause, Vivien then asked, "Is it a faith that will not stand the test, or a religious faith?" I am helping him grow. The belief of our demons is much simpler, 'the strong are respected, the fittest survive', and they are not as particular as you. If you can defeat us, we will willingly accept the providence of the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, you didn't. We've been waiting for tens of thousands of years, and you haven't made it. Do you really believe that he believes in the Holy Spirit?"

Catherine's eyes widened, staring at Vivien.

Slowly revealing a smile, Vivien said softly, "What he believes in is just a dream. A dream of his own imagination. Or rather, a ...... You made up dreams for him. You want him to wear armor forever, to be your paladin, immersed in dreams, but he doesn't want to. The dream was doomed to be unreal from the start. Heaven was never what he imagined, and divine faith was not so good. You and I know that. One day, when he lifts the veil with his own hands and sees the truth of his dream, he will return to the embrace of darkness and transform back into his original lich. When the time comes, I'll be done, and you can go back to your life. Actually, we have nothing to lose. Isn't it?"

With a "snap", the small ball circled around the index finger fell into the palm of the hand. Vivien jumped gracefully off the chimney and smiled, "Okay, I think you're done with what you want to say, right? I have to go back first, after all, I can't be away from my guardian for too long." The time to test him is coming, hehehehe......"

In a burst of laughter, Vivien's form slowly faded until it disappeared completely.

On the roof, only Catherine was still standing, standing dumbfounded, clenched into fists, and a little overwhelmed.

The night breeze blew gently, and the feathers of the wings on the back swayed gently in the wind.

......

Zeda took his gaze back.

Standing on the highest point of the Lion King Capital, he can look down on the entire Lion King Capital. Everyone's every move cannot escape his perception.

Eventually, he set his sights in another direction.

......

On the long street, Gray walked slowly on horseback.

It was followed by the king's carriage and a large group of guards.

The black cat whispered, "To be honest, this dream is really not easy. The hardest part is that you don't know until you remove the mask. Maybe they are worshipping you one moment and drawing their swords the next. No one has ever done anything like this, and once you make a mistake in judgment, there will be no second chance. ”

"In that case, make the best of everything. ”

"But what are you going to do? Do you know what to do?"

"I don't know, but I at least know where I want to go, don't I? ”

"So? I mean, what are you going to do tomorrow? Don't you think it's a more real question?"

"Tomorrow, hmm...... I don't know. When we don't know how, we do good deeds first, help others first, and continue to strive to practice chivalry and follow the sacred faith, just as we did before. ”

"If you just abide by the knightly virtues and follow the sacred faith, you will definitely not be able to accomplish this great goal. If it can be achieved by helping the elderly, I think the church will send someone to each elderly person to help him every day. ”

"I don't know...... I still have to think about it. However, it is always possible to stand firmly on the side of justice. ”

"I hope so. ”

The ideal is beautiful, the reality is skinny, and it is clear that this problem is too difficult for a lich. Gray was so confused that he began to shoot his helmet.

The king next to him looked cautiously through the car window and whispered to his attendants: "As long as I control the paladin, then everything will be fine." No one would want to fight against a paladin, the church can't tear up with a paladin, and neither is Irene, and even as long as the paladin is in my army, the kingdom of Allen will weigh it. This is true for all people. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are right. ”

"But we're not fully under control yet, you'll have to help me figure out what kind of surprise we're going to give him tomorrow. Today was a success overall, but I have to make him feel surprised to see me, to make him like me, you know what I mean?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand. ”

"Quick, think quickly!"

"Yes!"

The team continued to move slowly.

......

"It's not easy, it's finally all ready. Looking in Gray's direction, Zeda exhaled slowly.

"What do you have in store?" asked Tavia.

"A big show was prepared. The corners of Zeda's mouth rose slightly, and she whispered, "Vivien is just a disguise, a cover to trap the guardian angel by his side completely. In this way, the guardian angels have no time to pay attention to the layout of the outside world. At the same time, it is also possible to guide the lich at the right time. ”

"It is certainly right to stand firmly on the side of justice. But what if justice is absent? Which side are you going to stand on? Or, when everyone is no longer on your side, can you still stand firmly? Emotional ties are the greatest driving force for the sacred, but they can also be the greatest obstacles. When you're leading to an outcome that no one wants to see, are you not representing the sacred?"

As he spoke, Zeda finally turned his face to the Lion King and lightly hooked his fingers.

One of the three palace servants, who was pouring hay in the stables, suddenly clutched his stomach and turned and ran

"Hey, where are you going!!" As soon as he finished speaking, the other felt a cramping pain in his stomach: "No! I want to go to the bathroom!"

Dropping the fork in hand, he ran wildly in the direction of the toilet.

"What a coincidence? Two people go to the toilet together? Fortunately, I just went to the toilet. The last servant's expression suddenly distorted, and his face was stunned: ", what's the matter?"

Before he finished speaking, he also ran away with his stomach in his hands.

The little blonde boy was left alone in the stable, bewildered.

"Hey, Your Majesty and the Paladins are back, come and lead the horses!" someone shouted in the distance.

The little blonde boy was so frightened that he quickly threw away the tools in his hand and ran in the direction of the sound.
