The second volume is coming to an end, so I'm so nervous......

====================================================================

Familiar venues, familiar skies, and, familiar characters.

It's just that there are only two people in this character now.

In front of the huge palace, there were only Alpens and Artoria. A man and a woman are on the right and left, the two sides looking at each other, Alpens has a relaxed expression, and Artoria is more of a puzzle and confused.

"Brother Wang, we finally met again, and we are still in this place. ”

This is the place where the two confronted each other after their father's death, the place where Wang Xiaoming and Artoria met for the first time, which is the initial beginning, and at the same time, it is also the place where her and Alpens's break began.

This place represents many meanings and contains all kinds of meanings. For Artoria, this is where her life began to change, and eventually, she returned to do another transformation in her life.

Although the process is only a short month, it is like a year for a girl.

"Why did you stage a coup d'état when my father died? Why did you send someone to assassinate me? Is the throne really so important? So important that you even ignore the feelings between relatives? In fact, if you want to sit in the position of king, you can just tell me, and I will consciously give it to you. So, can you tell me? Artoria said in a deep voice, her eyes full of doubt and sadness.

"After all, you should know my personality very well, and I was not interested in this throne at that time. ”

Alpens also sighed and laughed in the face of the girl's question, and said, "Yes, of course I clearly understand that you were not interested in the throne at that time. But it's because I know you're not interested in the throne that I'm planning all sorts of actions. ”

"Why?"

"Because of your lack of interest in the throne, I am outraged. Alpens said very calmly.

"What?" Artoria was shocked by Alpens's words.

"Leah, in the past, what did everyone say about you and me, do you know?"

“...... Of course I do. At this time, Artoria laughed at herself, "Genius and mediocrity are such simple evaluations. ”

"Yes, genius and mediocrity. The genius me and the mediocre you are such a contrast. At that time, almost everyone looked around me as the future successor of the Kingdom of England. At that time, I thought I was the center of the world, and I had this idea and this qualification. No matter what I study, I can learn and comprehend it quickly, whether it is fighting spirit or knowledge. At that time, I was convinced that I was the only one who could inherit the throne, and I believed in it and took action. ”

Alpens spoke to himself.

Artoria didn't interrupt him, she had come to understand what was going on in his mind.

Brother Wang......

"I hope that I will be able to succeed to the throne and revitalize the Kingdom of England. Because I know very well how tense the situation around our country is. So I worked very hard, and although it was very hard, I still persevered. ”

"But......," Alpens looked up at the girl, with his head bowed slightly.

"I am not the one named the successor to the throne. ”

Alpens' gaze remained unchanged, still looking at Artoria steadily, a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's you, Artoria. ”

"So you planned those things?" Artoria was also a little in a trance, unable to imagine how hard her father would hit her brother when he appointed her as the successor to the throne.

"yes. The throne itself may not be the main thing, the main thing is that I am not reconciled, I am not convinced. My father's decision was wrong, so why wasn't I? Why could you succeed to the throne as a mediocre genius, but not me, but only told to assist you......?

Alpens smiled wryly, apparently remembering something from the past.

"So, there was a chain of events. My self-esteem was hit by my father's decision, and I became envious and jealous of you, which may be one of my shortcomings. Come to think of it, my father may have seen this shortcoming of mine, so he decided to do so. What I lack, what you have. ”

"Brother Wang......"

"Needless to say. That's all that needs to be said. The current you are obviously not comparable to the previous you, perhaps, you are really the only one who can be the new king of England. Alpens drew his sword and pointed it at Artoria.

"Even so, I want to be able to overcome you, I desire to defeat you. Perhaps, if I can overcome you now, then I will be able to prove my father's decision even more wrong. So, come on, fight me out!"

Alpens's expression faded from a wry smile to a serious solemnity, and his meaning was clear.

"Artoria. He said the girl's name heavily, expressing his strong desire for this duel.

"Do you really want to fight? Brother Wang. I'm really, going to duel you, can't we just have a good talk?" Artoria heard Alpens's inner words just now, and she fully understood the origin of all this. So, she hesitated again.

"Alas, Leah. Hesitation, but as a king, he can't tolerate negligence. Alpens sighed, his eyes glazed, and he quickly raised his sword and quickly attacked the girl.

In that case, I have to take the initiative to force you up.

Artoria dodged the surprise attack with her strong physical instincts.

"I really don't want to fight you, Brother Wang!" Artoria snapped.

"It's not up to you. If you don't want to fight, then let me lose the ability to continue fighting. With that, Alpens went on the offensive again.

Alpens kept attacking Artoria, and Artoria kept dodging and didn't have the slightest intention of fighting back.

"Are you despising me? Although your strength has been greatly improved in the Warcraft Forest, it can't be said that you can completely ignore me. If you underestimate me, the consequences will be very serious. Alpens's offensive was even more rapid, making Artoria gradually unable to parry at this time.

"Brother Wang......"

"Now it's in the middle of a duel, and if you want to say something off-topic, that's how it turned out!" Alpens reinforced, stabbing his sword hard in the next wave of the attack.

This stab stabbed the girl's right shoulder with a small wound, and also slightly scratched the right part of her face. So, the blood flew everywhere.

"Wang ......" was injured this time, which shocked Artoria to "wake up". She also realized that Alpens wasn't joking, but was really fighting with an attitude that would kill her. If she hadn't just dodged, she would have died.

So, after the physical injury, in this brief moment, Artoria no longer hesitated, because of this injury, her eyes finally sharpened.

"Brother Wang!!" shouted to the other party, and Artoria finally drew her long sword, emitting a strong flow of magic power, and rushed in front of Alpens.

Artoria finally got serious.

...............................................................................................................

"Boom!"

A collision between weapons sounded, and Alpens's sword was directly knocked away by Artoria, and he was directly caught by the girl's long sword.

No matter how talented Alpens is, no matter how talented he is, he is just Artoria specially set by Wang Xiaoming. Artoria's strength can no longer be described simply as a genius. Therefore, although Alpens used all his strength in the duel, he also lost to the powerful Artoria in the end.

"In the end, I still lost. However, it feels good to lose to you now. At the very least, I admit that you are now qualified to replace me as the new King of England. The defeated Alpens did not show any sense of loss, but smiled slightly, with an expression of putting everything down.

"In that case, kill me. Leah, only by killing me will you be able to ascend to the throne without hindrance. That way, my supporters will be obedient to you. ”

"No! Why should I kill you?Since you have acknowledged me, why can't you help me in running the country as my father said??

"No, a character like me, you have to eradicate it so that there won't be unnecessary trouble. ”

"No, I'm not going to kill you!"

"Your naivety will ruin everything. ”

"I don't care!"

Artoria was about to say aloud when a voice suddenly came in.

"You don't care, I'll take care of it too, miss. ”

Then, Alpens's head was suddenly chopped off, and a bright red liquid erupted instantly, staining most of the girl's body red.

......

What's going on?

For a moment, Artoria didn't react to anything, only to see Alpens's head suddenly slashed with a machete, and blood gushing in all directions. And the person behind this action is not anyone, it is Wang Xiaoming.

For a moment, Artoria remembered the nightmare she had before.

Dream and reality suddenly couldn't be distinguished.
