[Comprehensive] The Journey of the Protagonist

"Is this what the astrology in the sky told you?" Su Xuan asked with some amusement.

"Of course!" The young man raised his eyebrows: "I am the one who is loved by the stars, and every ray of the stars that fill the sky cares for me!"

"Okay, my son of the morning star..." These words were rubbed on his lips, and there was some gentle warmth for no reason. In this world, Su Xuan had always looked indifferent and stern. The smile seemed cold and seductive for no reason, this extremely rare softness and joy, like a night cloud bursting open, fleeting: "Are you recommended by me?"

The young man's unchanged smiling face froze for an unknown moment, his eyes were always squinted, but he couldn't see the slightest emotion from them, he stammered and said, "Yes...it's this... ...Isn't that...that's right..."

Saying these words, even he himself was so startled that he almost bit his tongue, and his eyes that seemed to be smiling forever opened for the first time, but there was a bit of ignorance in the eyes that looked over.

"Your name?" Su Xuan asked casually.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot I haven't introduced myself yet!" The young man laughed again very quickly, as if the gaffe just now was just an illusion: "Ilya, you can call me Ilya."

He leaned over and stretched out his head like a little fox to show off its cuteness.

Su Xuan stretched out an index finger, pressed against Ilya's brows vainly, pressed the back, opened the distance, and said calmly: "Then you follow."

"Hey, don't you need to ask more questions?" Ilya circled around him, and the two left the church. As they walked further and further away, his aggrieved voice continued: "For example Where I come from, how old I am, what food I like, what I don't like..."

After they left, a figure in a black robe completely covered his figure flashed out from another corner. The man's hands were hanging down, his overly long sleeves covered his twisted fingers, and the wide cloak hat covered his body. All his expressions were captured, as if no one could clearly see his ups and downs at the moment.

The camera pulls back.

Just when Ilya was about to bark around Su Xuan, a burly figure blocked their way.

Ilya looked around in surprise, only to find that they are now in a dead end blocked by a high wall. Although the sun has risen and the sun is shining brightly, there are often people walking around outside the wall of this alley. There is no sound, but it is indeed shady and cool here, and the sound is completely quiet, not even the sound of insects.

The man who came out suddenly was wearing a rather old knight's armor. His originally tall and strong body was slightly bent as if being bent. His face was decadent and his beard was sloppy, as if it hadn't been taken care of for a long time. , the once shining eyes are now dead silent, with a dazed expression, and the whole person is a little lifeless.

"Your Highness!" The man knelt on one knee, lowered his head, trembling uncontrollably.

"...It's you, Edgar." Su Xuan said lightly.

The person who appeared here was exactly the knight commander Edgar who led the order of the Red Queen to rescue the little prince when Su Xuan came through on the first day, and led the pursuers away when the Black King was chasing him.

No, he is no longer the Knight Commander, Su Xuan looked at the black cloak behind him, and already vaguely knew his current position in his heart.He didn't show any excitement or surprise, but unfortunately, Knight Edgar was lowering his head and couldn't see anything.

"Your Highness...Your Highness...I finally see you." The poor knight choked on his sobs.

"Who is he?" Ilya, who refused to calm down, looked at him with a smile.

"I am...the knight of the Queen, Your Highness, who are you?" Edgar looked at Ilya with a very faint light in his eyes, but his spirit was already so weak, even with the menacing eyes he had before have been unable to issue.

After realizing this, Edgar fell silent, and instead of looking at Ilya, he looked at Su Xuan.

The little prince who was still immature five years ago has now grown into a young man with outstanding looks. He is still as noble and elegant as before, but different from that time, now he has a majestic demeanor and piercing eyes. His posture all showed that the Highness in front of him looking down on him was far beyond his reach.

There were slight waves in the dead heart lake. This loyal knight presented the item that the Red Queen entrusted to him before his death, but what he held in his hand was a small silver key.

"This is a relic left to you by Her Majesty the Empress. It is a key that can summon devils." He comforted in a low voice, "You don't have to worry about the devil's cunning, as long as the monsters summoned by this key are not Will, and dare not hurt you at all."

"The queen said: 'There are so many dangers in this world, and my child is so soft, this treasure must be handed over to him, so that I can leave with a little peace of mind...'The last words she said before leaving... I want to say sorry to you..."

I'm sorry, my child, for making you suffer so much at such a young age, for making you feel the badness of this world when you were still young, and for letting you feel the vastness of the world when you were still young. Forced to be abandoned, chased, displaced, in order to survive incognito, to hate day and night for my incompetent mother, to grow up desperately for life, to grow up as soon as possible without being able to laugh and play with friends unscrupulously, to hate the past The person I admire as a hero... This is all my responsibility as a mother, the most irreparable mistake I have made in my life!

God, I never believed in you before, but at this last moment, I would like to prostrate before your seat, only to ask you to lower the curtain so that the burden on him may be less, less...

I can give my all for this!

This was the last prayer in the Red Queen's mind before she closed her eyes.

Edgar felt that His Royal Highness took over the silver key in his hand, which slightly relieved his heart that had been hanging high in the past few years. He didn't get up immediately, but pulled the long-lost The unsheathed long sword was presented again, but his lowered head never lifted up.

"Why are you doing this?" Su Xuan turned back from observing the key and asked in doubt.

The knight was speechless for a while, but tears fell mottled and dripped on the ground, leaving water stains. He said in a hoarse voice, "Edgar begged His Highness to grant him a death!"

"...What crime did you commit?" Su Xuan asked.

"It was I who cut off the head of the Red Queen. It was I who killed your mother with this sword. It was I who committed this unforgivable crime!" Fuzzy and hoarse: "Since then, there will be no place for me in heaven, and the world is also my torture. Only by pleading to sink into the eighteenth floor of hell as soon as possible, that painful punishment can alleviate the slightest regret and regret in my heart." Self-loathing, I don't want to live a day!"

"...Is this his order?" Su Xuan asked coldly.

"It's His Majesty's order." Edgar replied: "He asked me to accept the last words and entrustment of the Red Queen, and then told me that only by killing the Queen can I spare my life. The Queen smiled and let me go." I do it..."

On the face of the queen's head that fell to the ground was a serene smile with her eyes closed.

"...What if you can't find me all this time?" Su Xuan asked in a cold voice after being quiet for a while.

"..." Knight Edgar did not speak.

"Isn't this enough to explain the mother's last wish?" Su Xuan walked to Edgar who was kneeling and offering the knight's sword and stopped: "She actually hopes that you will live."

Maybe the Red Queen also has an apology for this steadfast knight in her heart. She understands the Black King, death is a kind of magnanimity to him, and he thinks that living and enduring pain is the best punishment. Such a will.

While she missed her child terribly, she was also worried about Edgar's life.

The knight broke down in tears.

But at this moment, a fourth person's voice sounded in this silent alley: "But he still killed the queen!"

The voice had an exquisite disguise, and it sounded like several voices mixed together: "No matter what the reasons and difficulties are, if you do it, you do it. It is an inescapable sin!"

Walking slowly from the entrance of the alley was a slender figure completely hidden under a pitch-black cloak. As soon as he walked in, the gloomy alley seemed to become even darker.

"It's you?" Edgar was frightened and angry. He didn't bother to ask His Royal Highness to end his life. He grabbed the hilt of the sword in his hand and jumped up. The moment the figure appeared, Edgar's muscles were already tense, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. At this moment, he did not allow His Royal Highness the slightest harm from the person in front of him while he was still alive!

"The most trusted intelligence leader under the Black King, the leader of the Night Crow organization!" Edgar felt that the hands holding the hilt of the sword were sweaty, but he still refused to take a step back.

"Do you want to commit the following crimes?" The leader of Night Crow sneered, "Don't forget who showed me the way to His Highness?"

"Are you following me?" Edgar was frightened and angry.

"Your chivalry has already died at the moment you killed the lord, and you are only a walking corpse now." The leader of the night crow turned to Su Xuan, and his voice became softer unknown: "What do you think, the former prince Your Highness?"

His fingers curled up under the black robe, and finally couldn't help spasming.

The author has something to say: Thank you for the landmines thrown away with the years, how hearty (づ￣3￣)づ

In addition, what Lang Yan Dujue threw in the last chapter was a grenade. I got confused, sorry, sorry, I have already revised it, I look at you pitifully~
