Chapter 319: The True Identity of the Girl (2/2)
Aya abruptly opened her eyes. Her cold eyes were really terrifying. ”If you dare touch them, you have to die.”
”Sh*t! What kind of rule is this! Is your head like stamen or pistil, the reproductive organs of flowers that I can’t touch them!?”
Amidst their noisy laughter, suddenly, a heavy voice interrupted them.
”Who… exactly are you?”
Covered in blood, Bedivere was like a completely dry oil lamp. However, he actually persisted on standing still. His blood-red eyes stared intently at Aya, as well as the Caliburn in her hand.
”Why is that sword in your hand? Where is its original owner? What happened to his majesty the Knight King? He’s still alive, isn’t he? You must know something!”
The more he talked, the more excited Bedivere became. Emotionally agitated, his control of his body grew weaker, and blood flowed from the several open wounds.
”Holy sh*t, Bedivere, your head is like a whale, it's spurting out blood!”
However, it was as if Bedivere didn’t hear w.a.n.g Lu’s exclamation as his eyes remained locked at Aya.
”What happened to his majesty the Knight King? Please, you must tell me!”
Aya could scarcely face Bedivere’s bloodshot eyes. For this loyal and devoted knight, her heart was indescribably moved, but what consumed her the most was her feeling of guilt.
How could Brettonia fall apart without her fault? Why did those outstanding Knights of the Round Table kill each other? Why did the heavy burden of being the protector of Dragon Clan bloodline fully fall on Bedivere alone? Moreover, what could she say about the whereabouts of the Knight King?
”I, I beg you. Whether you are the descendant of Galahad or someone else, please tell me, what happened to my king? W-Where exactly is he?” Bedivere’s voice trembled under the excitement. ”I always, always miss him very much.”
Facing this scene, Aya’s heart turned sour. She finally couldn’t hold back anymore. Slightly opening her mouth, she said, ”I…”
”She is the daughter of the Knight King.”
w.a.n.g Lu coldly said from behind and then reached out to press Aya’s shoulder, inserting her with his magical power to prevent her from talking.
”This is as plain as it gets. Except for the daughter of the Knight King, who else can inherit the Knight King’s sword of royal power? Who, in addition to the daughter of the Knight King, can casually kill Faceless One?”
Bedivere’s whole body greatly shook as he looked at Aya in disbelief. The Knight King’s daughter? His Majesty the Knight King, has actually left behind a descendant?
However, the more Bedivere saw the girl, the more he discovered that there were too many similarities with the Knight King who ruled over Brettonia in the past. The same blonde hair, the same deep eyes, and although the eye color was different, they had the same strain of heroic facial features.
Above all was her strength. Although she still fell short of the legendary level power of the Knight King, the essence was almost exactly the same. This was especially true when he pondered over on how she killed the Faceless One just now—it was an out and out style of the Knight King! Even when camouflaging and doing a sneak attack, all displayed the same awesome strength and discipline!
After remaining silent for a long time, in a daze, Bedivere asked, ”T-Then what about his majesty the Knight King?”
w.a.n.g Lu coldly said, ”Why? So what if you know? Don’t you guys still resent him?”
Upon hearing this, Bedivere shook his head. Suddenly, his thoughts returned to the past where he was still the subordinate of the Knight King, back to that era of endless glory, but after a sudden turn, went downhill and sadly fell apart. After a long time, Bedivere was moved to tears. ”Yes, I am incompetent and extremely ashamed! But I really want to know, is his majesty, okay?”
w.a.n.g Lu said, ”People has their own aspiration, but the universe has its own cycle. He had already done what he should have done, the rest is left for his daughter.”
Bedivere asked, ”So his majesty wants to…?”
”You still need to ask this? Of course, it’s to get rid of the church and restore the kingdom.”
Get rid of the church and restore the kingdom? This short sentence has a really deep content. After more than one hundred years of infiltration, the church has already long been entrenched in Brettonia, and the faith of Holy Light has almost replaced the knightly spirit. How could it be that easy to get rid of the church?
However, this was the proud, always-striving-for-victory Knight King. If he succ.u.mbed to the power of the church, Bedivere would instead be disappointed.
”Last question. Who are you?” Bedivere earnestly looked at w.a.n.g Lu. From start to finish, he was always the one who talked. Although Aya didn’t speak, it didn’t seem that she disagreed with him either. Obviously, w.a.n.g Lu was someone that she trusted very much… What was w.a.n.g Lu to her that he could talk on behalf of the daughter of his majesty the Knight King?
w.a.n.g Lu thought for a moment and then said with a smile, ”An eminent person indeed has a short memory. Haven’t I told you earlier? I am her gigolo!”
Gigolo your a.s.s!
