"The assassination of the pope...... Sure enough, it's still true, right?"

In the Count Leo's palace at night, Filaire Leo finally questioned his long-lost brother.

"Well, that's fine...... "Brother Kai Leo's reply was a little ambiguous, "and although the old man died at my hands in the end, nothing happened to me on the whole. ”

"What's the business without you??!" Before that, what shocked Filaire even more was that Kay had so lightly admitted the almost unforgivable crime of assassinating the Pope.

"Ah, in general, there are quite a few people?" Kai touched his chin as if to say to himself, "if you count the Templars, there are 35 of them......

"Why, why ......" Philair's head bowed, his voice small and full of confusion, "why did you assassinate the Pope?" ”

"There's no special reason, I didn't want to fight Faust VII, but I just ......" Thinking of the situation that day, Kai's face suddenly sank, "Lana was killed by him, this is the reason why I have to kill the Pope!"

"Lana?!" Philair's surprise was not trivial, "Lana Joe?!"

"Yes," replied Kay, "she is the newest Death Knight, who has endured humiliation in the Church for many years in order to bring down the Pope, but has fallen short and has been killed in the battle with Faust VII. ”

"So...... That's why you're ......."

"Yes," said Kay, "that's why I took on the charge of assassinating the Pope, because I was there at the time, and there was nothing I could do but watch Lana be killed by the Pope." ”

Philaire was shocked, whether it was the fact that Lana was killed by the Pope, or what her brother had done, which shook her position as an older sister.

"I have my own way of being a knight, and I am willing to do it for the rest of my life, even if it costs me. Kai continued, "The Royal Knight is not a prop in the great power game, and it is not a pawn without ego. That's why I left Crist, and that's why I came back. At the same time, it is one of the reasons why I will be the number one wanted criminal in the world. ”

"But, but why do you have to bear this?" Philairer asked anxiously, "you don't have the need to bear the weight, you can ......"

"This is the path I have chosen......," Kay replied, "whether the end of this path is a jungle of thorns, or whether it ends in a jungle of thorns, I have to walk it alone, after all, it is the path I have chosen." ”

For Kai's answer, Philairer was speechless, indeed, the path of knighthood is chosen by each knight himself, once it is determined, it cannot be changed, as long as it does not violate the general righteousness, this road must continue to walk, no matter how difficult and dangerous it may be. However, Kai, as the younger brother, chose a path that Philairer did not expect. Perhaps this is the source of Philair's confusion?

"If nothing else, I'll go back to my room first," Kai yawned and stood up, "By the way, please don't tell me the truth about the Pope's assassination, I don't want Lana to bear the charge after death." ”

"Oh...... Well. ”

"So, good night Sister Fei. ”

As the door creaked shut, Philair fell into a long, dead silence.

She never imagined that her brother had undergone such a heavy change in the past few years, and she could not imagine Kai's determination to carry out his knightly path to the end. How he wanted to be forever stuck in time 6 years ago, the day before the entrance exams for the Royal Knight Academy. But now, everything has changed, the past is gone, never again.

"Too bad, I ......"

Crystal tears rolled across his cheeks, accompanied by a subtle crashing sound, quietly dripping down the table.

"As an older sister, I actually let my younger brother bear all the blame alone. ”

......

Following.

"Foreign guests?"

Kai walked into the living room sleepily, breakfast ready.

"Well, yes," said Lando Leo, Crist's chief cabinet minister, who was munching on bread and carefully reviewing the paperwork, "the leader of a country in the South China Sea had come to negotiate commerce. ”

"Oh, that's right......," Kai said, holding a long bun in his hand, "Well, it has nothing to do with me anyway, I don't know anything about business or anything." ”

"Why is it none of your business?" said Lando, who continued to read the scroll without raising his head, "You are the future king of Christ, and you should accompany Queen Shanice to receive such an important foreign guest, so change into my formal clothes now, and prepare to go to the palace after breakfast." ”

"Huh?"

"Stop talking nonsense, give me something to eat!"

"Oh, oh, got it. ”

......

An hour later, Kai Leo, dressed in an awkward suit, accompanied Lando Leo to the palace of Christ.

"Evil, the eyes of the people here are disgusting......" Although the guards opened the door and led the way, the way they looked at Kai still made Kai uncomfortable, "It makes me feel like I am relying on a little white face to get on top of the marriage contract with Shani." ”

"Don't talk!" Lando whispered as he led Kai to the reception room at King Christ's Palace.

"Huh?!"

As he pushes open the door, an unexpected figure bursts into Kai's field of vision.

I saw two young girls in the reception room talking about each other, and Shaneth Christ, who was sitting in the host's seat, was dressed as a queen, luxurious, solemn and playful.

The person sitting next to Shanise had long light green hair and a familiar outfit.

"It's coming, it's coming. Your Excellency," Saneth looked excited when she saw Kay, and hurriedly got up to introduce the visitors to Kay, "This is Elrida Rebecca, the queen of the Duchy of Rebecca. ”

"Ai, Ellie?!"

"Ahhh?" saw Ellie turn her head and smile lightly, "Leo-san, is this kind of divine development really unexpected?"

"Wait, wait, Ellie, listen to me......"

"Huh, do you know each other?" Shani asked, confused.

"Ah, we were classmates at the Royal Knight Academy," Ellie replied, "and there are a lot of crossings after graduation. ”

"And now......" Ellie suddenly grabbed Kay's arm, and the bird looked like a human, "This guy is my master." ”

"Lord, master?"

"That's right, although the Duchy of Rebecca is nominally my country, it's actually Leo-san's territory. ”

"Ellie, don't add fuel to the fire!"

"I'm not wrong," Ellie said with an innocent look on her face, "Leo-san said that I would always be behind you. ”

"Uh...... I was caught. ”

"Husband-sama......" Shaneth's face immediately darkened, "What the hell is going on?!"
