"When a country's beliefs are dominated by interests, it is already in the abyss."

This is what Cavell read from a book a long time ago, and it is perfectly appropriate to describe the current situation.

"Yes! Everyone, Britain will never disappear on the horizon, and the glory of the Celts will remain forever. We, the knights of Britain, will always protect the people and will not let you suffer any harm."

The leading knight continued his impassioned speech, and his audience carefully held the cheap black bread, their eyes rolled unconsciously, watching the villains who wanted to rob him of his bread, or the weak who could be robbed of his bread .

"Opportunities are equal. This time the king selection ceremony has nothing to do with identity. No matter noble or commoner, there is only one chance to draw your sword. If you successfully draw your sword, then you will be the next king and rule the fate of the Celts. King of Britain!"

After finishing speaking, he actually found the surroundings to be very quiet. After smashing his tongue, he waved again to the knights behind him, and it was another carnival for the common people.

"King of Britain! King of Britain!"

"Ahem! Be quiet, everyone. I am very happy that you are so active. I hope that the next king of Britain will appear among you. At that time, all the knights and I will offer our hearts to you and to Britain!"

"Master Knight! Sir Knight!"

The crowd cheered, although they didn't know whether it was because of the food that could only allow them to live another day, or because they were really moved by what the knight said, but they did cheer, sincerely and enthusiastically praising the people who rode on the horses. the knights.

"Okay, everyone." The knight lowered his hands, and the people fell silent instantly. They looked at the tall figure expectantly, hoping that luck would befall them.

"Although I am very reluctant, we still have to go to the next town, so we are going to say goodbye to you now. I hope I can see you at the king selection ceremony in a few months!"

Visible to the naked eye, the smiles of the people gradually cooled down, holding the bread in their arms tightly, and they returned to the state before the knights came.

To a certain girl, the "good intentions" of the knights were unforgivable.

"Wait a moment!"

Lily called out to the knights who were about to leave, with naked anger in her heroic eyes.

"Hey, Lily..." Lucy wanted to hold Lily, but was stopped by Cavill covering her mouth.

"Let her do it," he said, "or she'll probably be bitter about it for a long time."

The girl who takes the name of the knight as king cannot tolerate the knight's bad deeds, which is something Caville knew a long time ago.

"Huh?" Seeing Lily's beautiful face, the knight obviously froze for a moment, and then squeezed out an ugly smile from the face that had been tense from the beginning to the end.

"My beautiful lady, what's the matter?"

"I think there is something wrong with the way you distribute the bread." Lily looked up at the knight on the horse. Even so, the knight felt a sense of oppression. The girl in front of her was questioning herself and her own judgment.

"Oh, that's right!" Seeing Lily's empty hand, the knight clapped his hands as if he had discovered something, and then looked at the subordinate behind him, "What are you still doing? Didn't you see that this lady didn't get any bread? Hurry up." Give her some."

"Yes."

The knight didn't show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Perhaps in their eyes, he had already gotten used to his captain's unpredictable character. He could already see the girl's expression of gratitude when he handed the cold bread to the girl, but the reality was a little different from what he had imagined. .

"Thank you." Lily frowned and declined the bread offered by the knight, "But let's leave it to others, I won't starve to death yet."

The knight still had no expression on his face. He turned his head to look at the captain who was already looking rather unsightly, not knowing where to put the bread in his hand.

"Throw it away." The knight commander put away his smile, "It seems that this lady is not an ordinary citizen, and she doesn't like this cheap black bread."

"Yes."

The knight nodded, and at the same time the bread that countless people were staring at was thrown high into the sky by him, and the originally quiet crowd suddenly became agitated. Just as they were about to go to snatch the bread, it fell on the horse that the knight commander was riding. feet, and was trampled to pieces by the horse's hooves.

"Sorry, everyone."

Even the residents who lost their minds showed angry expressions for a moment, trampling on food was far more unforgivable than trampling on their souls.

"This bread is for this lady. If you hand over something she doesn't want to you, it will be like giving alms. This is not in line with our humble chivalry spirit, so we can only destroy it." The knight looks like I didn't notice the expressions on the faces of the commoners, and their expressions were as disgusting as ever when they spoke, "If you want to blame you, you can blame this beautiful lady. It seems that she, who lives in a golden nest, doesn't have the concept that food is precious."

"You bastard!" Lily became angry when the chivalry was insulted in such a grandiose way, "Are you still a knight like this!"

"Why is it not considered a knight?" The knight commander smiled, "Didn't I say that giving what you don't want to others is not what a knight should have. Let's talk about it."

Turning over, the knight jumped off the horse and walked past Lily with a smile on his face. He picked up the bread crumbs left under the horse's hooves with regret: "You can accept this bread and give it to others. Did you lose the chance to save the people because of your arrogance, and then blame others, you nobles are really as stupid as ever, just like the king of this country."

It seems that the knight commander mistakenly regarded Lily as a nobleman. No wonder, compared with the surrounding residents who are extremely poor in both clothing and mental state, the cleanly dressed and full-bodied girl looks like she has nothing to do and ran out to take risks. Rich kids.

But as soon as the words came out, the knight commander regretted it. A sword wind swept across his face and cut off a strand of hair by his ear. He didn't see clearly the hair that was close to him until the hair fell to his shoulder. Arterial sword.

This sudden situation made the crowd of onlookers disappear in an instant, and the knights also drew their long swords from their waists and aimed at the girl who held the life of their captain, but even at such a dangerous moment, their expressions were not clear. The slightest change, this phenomenon made Caville, who was still observing the development of the situation in the crowd, frowned slightly.

"From the moment you said that sentence just now, I have the right to cut off your head at any time."

Anger, this is a very rare emotion that appears on Lily. Even Cavel, who has lived with her for so many years, has only seen the same expression when the girl faced the adventurer.

"What... what do you mean?"

Only then did the knight commander realize that he seemed to have offended someone he shouldn't. This beautiful girl possessed the power to deprive her of her own life. He quickly signaled the surrounding knights to put down their weapons, and he showed his original smile again. .

"Miss, if you are dissatisfied with our work, you can sit down and talk about it. Why use violence?" The knight commander smiled and wanted to reach out and move the long sword away, but the sudden increased pressure between the blade and the skin made him He gave up this plan, "Look, I didn't hurt the people, and I even distributed food to them. Even if the method was a little rough, you wouldn't put a sword on my neck."

The Knight Commander's humble attitude made Lily frowned in disgust: "That's right, you really helped the people, even though it was just work, it's an indelible fact."

Hearing Lily's words, the knight commander nodded sharply: "That's right, that's right, as long as you understand."

"But you insulted your lord, the lord you once knelt down to swear eternal allegiance to!" With Lily's angry roar, the long sword slammed down, and the knight's long legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Sorry! Don't kill me!"

Standing with one foot in the abyss of death, the knight commander's voice was filled with tears.

"It was my brain that was beaten stupid in the battle with the Saxons. I shouldn't insult the great King Uther. Please forgive me this time!"

Kneeling at the girl's feet, the knight commander abandoned his arrogance as a knight, and he looked ashamed like a bereaved dog. Even so, Lily still couldn't cut his neck, not because he didn't dare, but because of what he said content.

No matter how humble his posture is now, he will always be a warrior who fights against alien races and protects Britain.

The long sword was removed from the knight commander by the girl. After a while, the knight commander who had been frightened into a fool slowly stood up from the ground.

"Thank you... thank you."

Lily didn't respond to the knight commander's words, sheathed the long sword, and she silently returned to Cavel's side, her drooping face was covered by her long hair, making it difficult to see her expression clearly. From the beginning to the end, the knights did not make any moves.

"Welcome back."

Cavel gently stroked Lily's hair. Nana and Lucy just looked at Lily quietly. This was the first time they saw an easy-going girl get so angry, and it was also the first time they saw a serious girl. Hide your emotions.

"Then...then this gentleman, and a few ladies, let's go first, there are still many villages waiting for us to deliver food."

After being frightened by Lily, the knight commander was obviously much smarter. After greeting several people from a distance, he led the knights on horseback and left the dead town. When he came, he came quietly. Well, there was no sound of farewell when we left.

When the figures of the knights were completely out of her sight, Lily raised her head, her eyes were not red, and there were no tears hanging on them. The girl's expression was as indifferent as before, but with a little more determination.

"teacher."

"kindness."

"I want to change Britain." This is the first time the girl said such words, it is no longer saving, but changing, "Let this country be free from war and disaster with my hands, and make this island a real ideal Township."

"You can't do it alone."

"I'm determined to do it!" This time, Lily resolutely denied the teacher who denied her determination, "I don't want to see the people suffer anymore, and I don't want to see the knights under me become like this philistine again. What you said will be feared and betrayed by everyone, and I swear to save them!"
