"Then I couldn't stand it anymore, she was in too much pain, and all this was my sin, so I knelt under the statue of the god of light and begged for three days and three nights, and the god of light gave me a chance."

"I advanced my life for twenty years and opened the trial pool of the Holy Sword."

"Legend has it that if an evil dragon wants to become an evil god, he must walk through the dark abyss, and if a mortal wants to become a paladin, he must walk through the trial pool of the holy sword."

"Both are equally horrific and painful."

"Caesar, have you walked through the dark abyss?"

"When she walked out of the Holy Sword Trial Pool, her whole body was scarred, but her eyes were shining."

"She held the holy sword in her hand and said that she would protect the continent."

"She has gone through thorns, mountains and rivers, and seen through the suffering of the world, but she is still willing to move forward with her sword and stick to justice."

"She's different from you, you'll never understand her, but our Holy Court has its own dogma, Luoya was brought by me, and I won't let you hurt her."

"This is also what Yu Tian meant, you killed Luo Ya not to avenge her, but from beginning to end, you never respected her wishes in the slightest."

Caesar was burned by the word "respect" in the mouth of the elder mage.

He was guilty because he had been used or deceived in those days.

But he never gave her the respect she deserved.

"I'm going to kill her."

The words of the mage elder had a kind of demagogic power, and Caesar, who had just become a human, shook his head and whispered: "It was this woman who killed Yu Tian, and I will kill her." ”

Before the mage elder could say anything, he saw Caesar, whose eyes were red, looking at him with a hideous face: "Shut up, you vicious old man, if you hadn't come here today, she wouldn't have died." ”

"Who knows if what you just said is true or false, if she is your only daughter, will you defend her murderer like this?"

"You have to stick to etiquette, righteousness and shame, I don't need to, I am an evil and tyrannical dragon, I want to kill this woman, if you talk more, I will clean you up too."

Caesar almost shouted these words, but the mage elder was not deterred by his momentum, and there was even a subtle sympathy in his eyes as he looked at the hysterical man in front of him.

"Caesar, don't you understand? Luo Ya is not the murderer who killed Yu Tian, you are. ”

"If she knew that you were still evil and tyrannical when you became a human, she would be disappointed."

"You think she was born with supreme glory, and she can only understate the sword for you along the way."

"But I didn't know that she had a conspiracy from birth, and she had endured unimaginable hardships and tribulations to become a paladin."

Caesar's sword fell to the ground.

He looked at the two people in front of him in a daze, and never said a word again.

The mage elder gave him a deep look, and finally left the dark forest with Luoya, who was still in shock and had one of her hands cut off.

Caesar sat alone on the ground, from dawn to sunset, and finally looked at the dark sky, looking hesitant.

After becoming a human, he finally had richer emotions.

So the fragments that were once numb and indifferent, and the details that he didn't care about, all appeared in front of him one by one.

The gentle-looking, restrained but determined paladin was also engraved on his heart like a curse.

She had broken his chains and betrayed his faith.

She once said in her weakness that she wanted to wander the world with him.

She was left alone by him in the icy cave.

She died by the Holy Sword to save him.

She didn't look back at him even when she was dying.

Caesar took a few steps backwards, and finally sat down on the ground, behind him was the cave where he, Milan, and Yu had lived together for a month.

At that time, how could he think that Yu was hypocritical.

How could he feel that he didn't love Yu Tian.

How could he lie to her again and again.

A tear slipped from the corner of his eye, and Caesar finally understood love after losing the person he loved the most.

The news of the paladin's defection and death spread throughout the continent, and a large number of loyal followers of the paladin expressed disbelief, but Yu Tian did disappear, and everyone could only accept it with a sigh.

After Princess Luoya came back from the dark forest, she broke a hand and couldn't catch it, she couldn't accept this change, and spent her days in the palace with tears.

Princess Milan refused to accept the news of the death of the Paladin, and after being stunned for a few days, she even offered to go to the Dark Forest to find Yu Tian.

Of course, her brother King Simi could not agree, but the princess of Milan became more and more courageous after knowing the paladin, and seeing that King Simi did not agree, she sneaked out of the palace in the middle of the night without telling the guards.

She was going to find Charles, although Charles seemed cynical and ostracized by the dragons, but he was also an evil dragon after all, and he had an ambiguous relationship with the paladin, he must know what happened to the paladin.

The princess of Milan sold her jewelry, changed her dress, avoided the inspection of the guards, and ran out of the kingdom in a frenzy overnight.

The poor princess crossed the mountains and rivers, day and night, and finally arrived in the dark forest at dusk the next day.

She looked at the dark forest in fear, but finally stepped into it bravely.

She was surprisingly lucky, and she didn't encounter any beasts and monsters along the way.

It's as if all the beasts have suddenly gone into hiding.

She prepared a lot of dry food, and when she finished eating the fruit, she picked mushrooms and ate them according to the method that the little rabbit had taught her.

Finally arrived at Charles's cave on the morning of the tenth day.

Everything around was surprisingly quiet, and Milan didn't even meet a few small animals.

All the animals seem to have hibernated early.

This is a good thing, and the princess of Milan did not think deeply, and continued to probe her head towards the dim cavern.

"Charles?"

"Paladin?"

"Are you there?"

"I'm little Milan, and I'm coming for you."

"Are you all right?"

No one answered her, and the princess of Milan thought that her efforts all these days had been in vain, and bowed her head in frustration.

She was so tired that she fumbled her way in the direction of the straw bed, and she wanted to borrow Charles's bed to sleep.

She felt the familiar straw and breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to lie down, she heard a deep voice sound.

"What are you going to do?"

Milan was startled, and just as he was about to exclaim, the owner of the voice snapped his fingers, and the dark cavern instantly lit up.

The man in the middle of the cave turned out to be Charles.

He seems to have changed into a different person, no longer the sunny and free appearance he used to be, his hair has grown a lot, his expression is disgusted, and the whole person is tired and gloomy.

He was holding a large box in his arms, and the princess of Milan did not know what was inside, only to see that a kind of depression permeated his whole body.

"Check, Charles?"

"I'm here for the Paladin, I heard she ......"

Milan didn't finish the rest of her sentence, because she felt the heavy pressure on the man in front of her.

It was a long, long time, until the Princess of Milan almost thought that Charles would not answer her again, and Charles spoke softly.

"I'm a human forever."

The answer was not what she asked, but the princess of Milan understood, and her face turned white.

"Paladin-sama, she'......"

"Well, she's dead."

When Charles said this, his eyes were gloomy, and the look of drooping eyebrows was a confusion that Princess Milan had never seen.

Like a homeless stray dog.

Princess Milan opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to comfort him, because her eyes were red too.

Thinking of the brave and resolute paladin who saved herself from fire and water, her heart was sour.

She sat down on the straw bed in a daze, and Charles lifted his eyelids to look at her.

If it had been before, he would have mocked this familiar little Milan, but he didn't say anything today, just moved his body in to prevent her from touching his clothes.

The animals around him were scared away by him, in fact, from the moment Milan stepped into the dark forest, he had noticed that he could have found a monster to scare her away, but he didn't.

Ever since the day when Elder Mage and Princess Luoya left while he was not in his mind, he had been staying here alone.

The box he was holding in his arms was a tattered piece he had collected when he was "Charles", and most of the things in it he couldn't look at, except for the white dress.

It was a gift he once wanted to give to Yu Tian, but she didn't accept it.

Caesar held the gift of not being accepted, and stayed like this alone for a month.

The evil dragon that has become a human has supreme power, let alone a month, even if you don't eat or drink for a year, you won't go hungry.

He will no longer go hungry and suffer as he did in his childhood.

But he felt that his heart was empty.

He expelled all the animals, but he did not want to expel Milan.

Maybe it's because this is the only person in the world who knows that he and Yu Tian once had a happy time.

Or maybe that month changed him after all, and gave him something similar to human "friendship" towards little Milan.

Unlike Caesar's cold and indifferent, the princess of Milan is naturally emotional and compassionate, and regards Charles as a true friend.

She knew that Charles liked Lord Paladin, and after silently shedding tears for a while, she sighed softly: "Charles, Lord Paladin loves you so much, and I definitely don't want you to be too sad after her death." ”

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears, taking it for granted that the Paladin-sama had died heroically while slaying monsters, and that she had never believed the Holy Court's alleged defection.

"Paladin-sama has always been jealous and idealistic, I told her to be more careful, but I didn't expect her to be sacrificed."

"Paladin-sama was killed in a duel with what? Are you holding her bones? ”

"Let's send her back to the Holy Court, you must know what happened, we clarify her reputation and let her return to the God of Light."

"Charles, you don't know, the people in the Holy Court are saying that the Paladins defected and died, this is too cruel, we ......"

Caesar finally reacted, turned his head to look at Milan, and when he spoke, he was clearly smiling, but it was as if he was crying.

"She didn't die in the line of duty."

Princess Milan was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Caesar opened his mouth, but finally he didn't know what to say, he opened the wooden box, and Milan saw that there was no so-called Paladin's bones in it.

There was only a white dress.

Milan was a little confused: "This is?" ”

Caesar lowered his head, pushed the box to her side, and said to himself, "I've given it to you." ”

Princess Milan sighed suspiciously, and hugged her skirt in a daze: "What do you mean, Lord Paladin?" ”

Milan took the box, only to find that Charles still had a broken sword in his arms, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it became, "Isn't this a holy sword?" How did it come to this? ”

Caesar: "After Yu died, it became like this." ”

"Charles, Paladin, she'......"

"I'm not actually called Charles."

Caesar suddenly interrupted her without a clue, he knew that Princess Milan might be the person who cared about him the most besides Yu Tian.

But her concern was also generated by Yu Tian, because Yu Tian was kind and saved her, because of the happy life that the three of them spent together in the cave.

If she knew the truth of the matter, she would definitely be disappointed in herself.

But Caesar would rather let her down in himself than continue to enjoy the pleasure she brought him after killing Yu Tian.

He was a sinner and deserved to be spurned by all.

"I actually have a name, my name is Caesar."

"The paladin did not die at the hands of monsters, but by the holy sword."

"The Holy Court Says She Defected......"

"Actually, she was just there to save me."

Caesar spoke without logic.

In his mouth, he became an ungrateful, cold-hearted monster who tried to get close to the paladin just to make himself a human, and he did not hesitate to say sweet words in order to achieve his goals.

He said for a long time, and the princess of Milan's gaze changed from confusion and confusion at the beginning to anger and grief at the end.

"And just like that, I became human."

"There's no dragon or human to hurt me anymore."

"Little Milan, should I be happy?"

Princess Milan was the one who admired the paladin the most, and after listening to Caesar's words, she couldn't help but pick up the broken sword and stab Caesar in the chest.

"You demon, you damn it."

"You give the Paladin back!"

Caesar didn't resist, he watched as the remnant sword sank into his chest, and blood poured out of his chest little by little, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.

As if he was still disgusted with Princess Milan's strength being too small, he put his hand under the blade of the sword and pressed a little closer to his heart.

"Damn it?"

Caesar's face was handsome but gloomy, and his whole body was filled with great pain, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"Little Milan, I think I deserve to die, too."

Princess Milan looked in amazement at the man who had stabbed his sword in the chest.

"But I Can't Die"

A tear slipped from the corner of Caesar's eye.

He shed countless times more tears after becoming a human than when he was a dragon.

He didn't know why he had been so dreamy of being such a painful and depressing person.

"I'm not going to die for the rest of my life."

"I have gained eternal life, and it turns out that this is the reason why so many evil dragons dream of becoming human."

Milan looked at the man in front of him who was almost curled up in pain, and finally let go of the hilt of his sword in a daze.

"Eternal life, what a seductive word."

"They all felt that this was a gift that I should kneel down and thank."

"It was the turning point of half my life."

"The most enviable luck."

"But when I look at this empty world, I only think that this is her eternal curse on me."

The evil dragon is over
