Sage's Queen's Cultivation Diary

"Welcome, Lord Red Dragon, and... the king."

Among the ruins that had turned into a castle, a knight with firm eyes stood upright. Because the building collapsed, his body was covered with dust. Beside this knight was a table that was rich but not Exaggerated food, of course, now this table of food has become as embarrassing as the knights, at least no one will be willing to send it to their mouths.

"...Yo...Yo~ Duke William."

Pretending that nothing had happened, he greeted William who had been waiting here for a long time. Cavel couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it seemed that Mr. Duke was not angry because his home was demolished. If he had changed himself, he should have peeled off the other party's skin. Sure enough, the knights were a bunch of tough and tough guys, especially the captain of the knight.

"..." William naturally didn't know what Cavel was thinking about. If he knew, his expression would probably be very exciting. After a moment of silence, the former knight commander took out a handkerchief from his pocket and began to wipe the dusty clothes. Table and chair.

"Although I know Lord Red Dragon has a strong temper, I didn't expect to be so irritable." While wiping the table earnestly, William squinted at the embarrassed Cavel. No matter how he looked at it, this man was just an ordinary human being. , but during the king selection ceremony, he did see the red dragon in the sky transform into his appearance.

"I just opened the door a little later, and the whole house disappeared. Should I lament the red dragon lord for your coercion, or be angry at your actions?"

Ah~ Sure enough, I'm still angry...

"...Haha, I'm sorry, I'm still a little unaccustomed to the human body, so I accidentally didn't control my strength when I knocked on the door." Seeing his reputation being harmed, Caville had no choice but to Neng smiled awkwardly, "But don't worry, as long as you are willing, I will pay you a new castle."

"It doesn't matter. It's just a house. It just so happens that this house is too spacious for me. It's not bad to change it to a small house." Facing Cavel's tempting proposal, William simply shook his head , I don’t know if I really don’t care or I’m pretending to be free and easy, “Compared with this, I care more about the reason why the king and Lord Honglong came here. If it’s just for small talk, then please go back. There are still many things to do , no time to chat with others."

Seemingly tired of such meaningless chats, William directly brought the topic to the main topic. Cavel was taken aback, then took two steps back, and Lily also walked in front of William at this time.

"Hello, Duke William."

"...Hello, king." Seeing the new king of Britain approaching, William's face suddenly became a little subtle, "I'm sorry that I couldn't offer you a congratulatory gift when you became king, but you still acted like you did during the king selection ceremony." beauty."

"Thank you, Duke William, you are the same, even after more than ten years, you still have a righteous soul like when I first met you in Castle Ector."

"I see. Are you that blond child at that time? Fate is really unpredictable." As if remembering Lily's identity, William couldn't help showing a trace of nostalgia on his face, but he was quickly dismissed. He put it away, "Then, king, now that you have drawn the sword in the stone, why are you still unwilling to take power? You should know that being king at this time will bring great benefits to the people and knights of this country excitation."

Faced with William's question, Lily hesitated for a while, then suddenly pulled out the Sword in the Stone from her waist and put it on William's shoulder, almost subconsciously, the latter half-knelt on the ground.

"It seems that you, duke, recognize my status as king." This is the king's etiquette to knights. William's kneeling means that he has recognized the new king of Britain in his heart, so Lily is even more puzzled.

"Yes, even I have to admit that although you are a woman, you are better and stronger than any king in history. Maybe you can really save this declining country."

This is a sincere compliment. The noble former knight commander of Britain would not do such stupid things as saying good things to please the king. For William, Lily is indeed the most suitable person in the whole of Britain to be king.

"Then why betrayal?"

Lily asked this sensitive question so hastily, not only Cavel, but also William's brain was short-circuited for a second because of Wang's too blunt questioning. He just looked at Lily for a while, and he smiled helplessly.

"What a powerful king, the Goddess of the Lake and Mei Lin did not choose the wrong person." Saying this, he took a step back, holding the hilt of his sword tightly with his right hand, "Yes, my king, I am indeed the king. Betrayer, but I don't want to call myself that."

"You betrayed the country you were loyal to, the king you were loyal to, what else can you be called a traitor if you do such a stupid thing?" Lily was angry, not only because of William's betrayal, but also because he took refuge in the man who made Britain fall into a crisis. A sinner in such a field is unforgivable to a girl, "Duke William, you should know what kind of chaos that demon will bring Britain into. Even so, do you still want to be loyal to him?"

"Devil? Ah, you mean Vortigern..." Facing Wang's questioning, William nodded with a smile, showing no apology for betrayal, "I think you misunderstood him, although he He acted a little extreme, but everything he did was for this Britain, for this country that was about to decline, he called himself a reformer, I like this title very much, so you can also call me a reformer."

"But his salvation was often accompanied by irreparable destruction."

"It's inevitable, isn't it? I've spent half of my life at the front, so I understand better than anyone that any war of any kind comes with sacrifices, or rather, precisely because there are Sacrifice leads to victory, and when the one-time sacrifice reaches a level that everyone fears, peace will come."

"...Is this your justice now?"

"That's the justice I've always had."

Lily stopped talking. One of the most admired knights in the past had been holding such thoughts that almost destroyed Britain. It had a great impact on her. Noticing that her king fell silent, William took out a dagger and cut it on the table. of an apple.

"Vortigern is not a demon. He was the first to unite the clans. He was also the first to call for the unification of Britain. He has wisdom far beyond your father's, but there is no one like Merlin. A good teacher and helpful friend only held him at a critical moment, your father has Meilin by his side, so he was able to use the fear he left the world to reach the throne, so he failed at that time and became a stepping stone for King Uther."

It was only now that Caville discovered that William, who looked upright, was unexpectedly proficient in talking, and even himself was almost persuaded by him, but he was not worried about what this would leave in Lily's heart Thorn, after all, she grew up being tortured by her own mouth cannon.

"Nonsense." Sure enough, the girl's first words after the silence were a total negation of William.

"What you see is only this country. The so-called saving Britain is just to prevent this country from disappearing from history, but the duty that a real king must fulfill is to make the people happy. A country without people is just a piece of land. , Duke William, your justice is too superficial."

"Superficial?" Just two words filled William's eyes with murderous intent, "Sure enough, you are as hopeless as King Uther, and I, William Kalbut, am justice myself, what I admire It is correct, and there is no need to be judged by you."

At this point, the friendly greeting officially broke down. Lily put the Sword in the Stone back into its sheath, turned and walked towards the outside of the castle. Caville patted his clothes, then glanced at William's direction, and chased after him with a smile. go up.

"Your insistence on justice is very respectable, Duke William." After walking for a while, Lily's voice came over, making William straighten up subconsciously, "I'm sorry, it seems that we have chosen different paths, so Next time we meet, we will be enemies."

"It doesn't matter, King of Britain, it will be very troublesome if I don't take my life now."

"It doesn't matter, I'm just a fool who has taken the wrong path. My justice is far brighter than yours."

……

……

After the new king of Britain left, the ruins that had turned into a castle suddenly fell silent. William kept peeling the apple in his hand until there was only one core left in the apple.

"What's the matter, William Calbut?" Another voice sounded behind him, full of madness and evil, "After being preached by a little girl, has your justice begun to blur?"

"No, I should have already said that everything I do is just, and I will never be confused by other people's words. Besides, do you really think that she is just a little girl?"

William turned around, and a blond man stopped strangely in a certain darkness in mid-air. In his arms, a young girl caressed him with blurred eyes. She voluntarily exposed her smooth neck, and then In the man's eyes full of burning desire, her skin was bitten, and she gradually turned into an ugly mummy and was thrown down.

"What is it if it's not a little girl? Or, should I call her a delicious piece of bread?" The blond vampire slowly descended, and after gracefully wiping away the blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, he walked over to where the girl was standing just now. Position, "Ah~ what a wonderful taste, it makes people wonder if I will die because I can't bear the power after drinking her blood."

"Aren't vampires immortal?"

"Of course, vampires don't die, but they go hungry, so William Calbut, can you find my food?"

"...Don't worry, for my justice, I won't let you starve to death, Dio."
