The Legend of Sun Knight Voluinal novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)

Tenth Rule of Sun Knights: ”Carrying out Justice is the Reason for the Sun Knight's Existence” - translated by Evangeline

Judgment and I announced our plan to the crown prince, since it was an ihts without anyone in the palace noticing The crown prince nodded to show his approval without hesitation, as though he had known this was going to happen

Sohts and patrolled the nearby area, while the others dressed up as servants Since there are many people in the palace in the first place, it isn't that noticeable to add fifty uised as the person Roland was going to kill In order to hide n a seal for my holy aura, then stuck it on the wardrobe and shut myself inside

I have to say, furniture used by the royal family sure weren't normal The wardrobe itself was about half the size of my room and the bottom of it was even lined with velvetI can't help but to lie down and try it out, and I conveniently snatched a cape to coversleepy This wardrobe is even more comfortable than my bed

Luckily, I didn't choose to lay on the bed where Judg in the wardrobe had already made me sleepy, if I lay on the bed, I would probably sleep away like a pig due to the too-coet slashed into half by Roland…

”Sun? Sun!”

”Hmm?”I turned in bed What's the proble comfortable!

The person outside quieted down for abooms as someone pounded on the wardrobe door

I jumped up instantly in shock and asked in panic, ”Wha—! What? Is Roland here?!”

”Not yet,” Judgment's deep voice came from outside of the wardrobe ”But I am concerned that even if he were here, you probably wouldn't notice because you were sleeping too soundly”

”Ah…hahaha! That won't happen!” I gave a nervous little laugh That is actually possible Judgment really is the person who understandsRoland probably wouldn't co asleep, tell me about Roland”

I was silent for apatient as usual, so he didn't say anything to urge hed deeply and started to talk about the pastRoland was at the selection for the Twelve Holy Knights held by the Church, when there were only ten children left for the selection

”You should probably knowevent in the city, and almost everyone would bet to see which one of the children would becohts”

”I know,” Judgment's voice drifted in His voice sounded far away, I think he just laid down on the bed again

”Do you still reainst the wardrobe door, afraid to lie down again

”I had never paid attention,” Judghed ”You are as serious as Roland was; both of you spent all of your ti your swordsmanshi+p!I still remember: your odds were 1083 to 1 If someone bet on you, they wouldn't earn much money even if they had won”

”You remember it quite clearly” There was a faint trace of ad it, since the only thing that I can be proud of myself is my memory!

I continued, ”Roland's odds were 1052 to 1; even lower than yours This ht was even greater than your chance of becoment replied emotionlessly

”Yep, he didn't, and the one who becaht was a those odds were 563 to 1,” I said soly ”A lot of people who bet on ment's voice flowed in from outside, ”You weren't that bad; your holy skills and your written test score was the best a all the children It's just that the outsiders don't understand holy ic and they don't know the results of the test”

Even though thistiht! I a!

”Your swordsment continued

Hey! You don't have to add that, okay?

”Anyway, at that ti to be the future Sun Knight, and as I was the least possible candidate, so naturally the two of us became best of friends He often helpedover the wall to buy blueberry dessert for you, helping you to beat the dog that bit you, and so on,” Judghed ”Grisia, you never did change”

”Hahahahaha…” I laughed dryly Right! After Roland left, Judgment took over his place

”Did he try to fraroaned, feeling like crying but having no tears ”He is just being very slow Even now, he still doesn't realize that he has caused everyone to think that I was the culprit who tortured him to death He thinks that he had just accidentally slashedrument stopped abruptly inthat it was odd, a very familiar voice came from outside the wardrobe But, mixed in it was a hatred that I had never heard before

”I said before that I, Roland, would co!”

Roland? How? Where did he coeway! daht know about it too!

”You…you are not the king…”

Have we been discovered?

I quickly thrust the wardrobe door open and jumped outside At the sanal for the knights ere lying in ahts wasn't exaggerated, for right after I sent out the flash, Blaze and the Judgh the hile Earth and the Sun Knight Platoon charged in through the door

Judgment Sword unsheathed

At first, Roland stared blankly at the horde of people Then he turned and caught sight of me He said in disbelief, ”Grisia… How is this possible?!”

”Roland, you should have known that I couldn't let you commit murder as you please” I looked at my childhood friend sadly

”But, I definitely told you that—”

I nodded, interrupting Roland's sentence ”You told me that your enery that he roared to interrupt !”

”Yes Frohness the crown prince, I was one hundred percent sure that your ene instead Roland, your ability to lie has always been as awful asability”

”You…” Roland was dumbstruck

”Moreover, while I can't be sure whether the crown prince will torture so that I do know for sure is that if he did, ouldn't find out about it even after ten years” I shrugged ”The crown prince isn't a moron If he really did torture soet rid of the body plus the clues and be done with it once and for all, and he would never be stupid enough to let his knights dispose of the body for hi that I had tortured the Death Knight to death started spreading around If the ruht, then it could be easily explained away since everyone has heard the Death Knight is going to couess the killer is me But the rumors are so detailed that they even lanced at Roland and saw that he looked confused Just as I thought, that guy didn't know anything about the rumor But never mind; that sentence was not meant for hiht was tortured to death, except for the Death Knight hiain, and he was furrowing his brows as though he was trying very hard to understand what I was saying I kept on explaining, ”However, this rumor spread too quickly, so I doubt that it was spread by the Death Knight hio around and chat with people on the street”

”Therefore, this ru to frame me was probably spread by the ment ”Just nohen you wanted to talk to ht? Do you wish to add anything, Judglanced at aze Nevertheless, he added, ”At first, if the Church found out that this case was related to the royal fa immediately, and the dark secrets of the royal family would not be exposed However, when the reputation of our Sun Knight was involved in the matter, we had to find out the truth at all costs”

”That's right, a du stupid enough to try to fra the church to find out the truth, isn't likely to be done by the crown prince,” I said I sneered a little ”Next, just think about it a little Who hates e to atteht? Apart fro, who else could it be?”

”Nonsense! You impertinent riffraff!”

The bookshelves at the side suddenly parted to reveal a passageway, and the angry king charged out with the crown prince following close behind, frowning There was, of course, a large nu the two of the in was the first one that I had discovered to be sealed tight when I caate secretly earlier Looks like they had reopened the sealed passageway in order to lay in ambush inside

”AAAAAAARGH!”

When Roland set his eyes on the king, his eyes glowed a blood red color and he instantly chargedwas scared out of his wits and pulled his knights over to hide behind

”Judgment's response was even faster thanRoland with his sword before the words had leftand cast The shi+eld of Earth after I finished yelling

I started chanting an incantation As ht in the rooht was a lethal weapon to the undead, so even though Roland was a terrific swordsman in life and was the crèht in death, he still couldn't hold out for long under the holy light Additionally, his opponent was the Judght, as the best swordshts

As I predicted, not long after they both started fighting, Roland couldn't hold his ground any longer and was disarment His sword clattered across the roo position by the holy light in the rooinally hiding behind his royal knights, charged out and started sto on Roland's head He swore as he stoe? It's an honor for a low-life like you to die by my hand!”

”Father, stop!”

The crown prince turned pale He ran up to his father to pull him away, but his body was too weak, so he was pushed away by the king instead Luckily, the knights around thehness didn't fall to the floor

”Stop stoht on the side was the first person couldn't contain hi away

”You dare to pushwas astonished Then he screahts, he has attacked me! I order every one of you to strike back now!”

When the royal knights received the order to attack the holy knights, they were clearly stunned for a moment However, they proved that they orthy to be called royal knights A short moment later, they drew their swords and orderly advanced on the Blaze Knight

Blaze was so angry that his face turned beet red He roared in a low voice, ”You dare to point your weapons at hts, prepare for battle!”

Thus, the holy knights turned to point their weapons at the royal knights

”Everyone, stop this at once!” the Judght bellowed, furious

But now, the situation was so out of hand that even Judght's livid shout couldn't stop it It's true that the Judght Platoon did lower their weapons, for they absolutely wouldn't dare to disobey Judght who has an explosive teht who is honest on the surface and evil beneath the surface—they were all there too

Due to the king's daily appalling behavior, all these holy knights have probably been looking down on the king in their hearts for a long time Moreover, this old fellow dashed up by hiht and even admitted that he killed Roland It was alhts didn't hate hilared at each other and hefted their weapons, ready for battle The king addedit at the Blaze Knight Fortunately, the vase didn't hit hiainst Earth's protective shi+eld instead

Nevertheless, this act of disrespect to the Twelve Holy Knights of the Church angered the Sun Knight Platoon I don't knohich hts, but after that, the situation just spiraled out of control The knights started fighting each other i of swords never stopped for a moment

It's not that I want to boast, but while the ht Platoon uaranteed to be first class

I wondered whether it wasunlucky or if it was caused by their natural behavior, for they often get into trouble with so that shouldn't be trifled with Since their platoon leader is always s, and the leader usually applied the ”I don't care” strategy when dealing with the platoon, so obviously, they have to depend on their excellent sword-fighting skills and solidarity to beat up the person so much that the person doesn't even dare to coht behindat hi

”Grisia, Grisia!”

Roland called out my name in a low voice He looked up at me, expressionless, but the flames in his eye sockets slowly turned to black He stared at me with those black flaht to protect that kind of person?”

I quietly replied, ”Roland, there are s in this world that we have to coht, so there are many issues that I have to consider”

”Is this your answer?” The flarew even darker

”Roland, look at the situation you're in” My eyes were filled with sy, and I will have to stop you fro him”

”Even if he deserves to die?” Roland stared atout of his eyes sockets

”Yes, even if he deserves to die a thousand tiht!” Roland suddenly burst out laughing, fro hysterically The fla its way down his cheeks, like black tears

”Ack!”

Without warning, Roland sentacross the roo the rooht vanished, Roland stood up fro position

I landed and stuht Platoon that was guarding the door sahat happened and tried to giveup, but I waved them back to their posts But no one sahat happened except for them, because the bedroo the royal knights, Blaze Knight, Earth Knight, and hting in the roo fuel to the fire My Sun Knight Platoon coht's order, as their leader was ht was my sworn enehness the crown prince's face was so pale that he looked like he would pass out at any htening shade of purple fro's bedrooe as a conference roohts inside?

I chanted the spell and holy light flooded the roohter this ti the holy light fill the whole room except the space around Roland

I need Roland to transform into a Death Lord Only then would ht successfully blocked off the dark aura seeping around Roland as he transforht also prevented anyone froht Platoon probably thought I had subdued the Death Knight already, so they did nothing

I don't even need tothat I doubt they noticed the holy light reappearing after a brief lapse

My holy light can't block my vision however, so I saw the birth of a Death Lord with rayish white and the flames in his eyes turned pitch black and spread across his face, leaving behind two tear-likedoards I can't see where they went underneath his clothes, but the s quickly spread to his bare ar out fro Roland seeped into his body and “grew” out fros, exactly like the type you would see in a mural! The only difference was that on the tip of Roland's wings were sharp claws

Grey-white body, black flas with sharp claws… Is this what a Death Lord looks like? I thought

I have to ad Now I can only hope that uess I will have no choice left but to die together with Roland!

At this s on his ars at his back

It's time! I dashed to Roland's side and faced him head on, the distance between us less than a foot wide When he saw ain with a palm strike, but this time, I couldn't even see his attack clearly

I landed on the floor again Ouch! Now, that really hurts! I'm very suspicious that he had punched a hole into ht!”

The Judgic state They all gasped in shock, and then tried to run to my aid But before they could, Roland stuck his hand out and chanted a spell He summoned a whole slew of dark creatures: zombies, skeletons, spirits, a human-faced vampiric spider… There were even more that I can't even naht, blanching Don't tellto backfire and I will be killed on the spot by Roland?

The Judght Platoon had no time to help me nowThe attack had taken everyone by surprise and they were having trouble fighting back, but I finally ed in heated battle in the hts all yelled, “Protect the crown prince!” But when they heard that everyone was shouting the saht, “Protect His Majesty, the king!” That old geezer sure isn't popular with his people…

As forblood on the floor, their surprised expressions were so varied that you could make an “Encyclopedia of Shocked and Scared Faces” from them

I suppressed my pain and ordered my platoon, “Stop the dark creatures Don't let even one out of this rooht Platoon answered simultaneously They were so well disciplined that it was hard to believe that they were fighting a heated battle just a h they usually , they are as obedient as puppies This is because I told them once before, “If I tell you to jump off that cliff, you have to jump, or else I will kick you off the cliff and push down a boulder as your companion”

They weren't afraid at first, for I was a sht after all How could I be scary? But after I kicked two members of the Platoon off the cliff and pushed two boulders down after them with a smile on my face, the rest of theht Platoon wasup the dark creatures than the Judght Platoon This is to be expected, as the dark creatures were terrified of spells like holy light, holy blessing, and other holy ic, and these are the spells that every ht Platoon must learn

I saw that it wasn't difficult for ht Platoon to defeat the dark creatures, and it was just a matter of time before they cleared all the dark creatures I felt more relaxed at this

At this tiht came toorders to both of them ”Blaze, take care of all the spirits Earth, observe the situation and provide assistance wherever it is needed I don't want to see anyone seriously injured”

They both nodded Blaze Knight joined the battle as soon as his two-handed broadsas alight with purifying flames, and he specifically picked off the spirits first

The Earth Knight stood besidehis protective shi+eld every now and then

Roland was surrounded by dark creatures He observed the battle raging around hirin

That's not a nor suspicious Roland… He hasn't been driven insane fro, Roland did so that confirmed my suspicions that he had lost histhe roo everyone inside it After that, he summoned more dark creatures so that the nuhts in the rooe of Undead Creatures textbook said, ”Never let a Death Lord be born, or else it's would be a catastrophe”…So the Death Lord really is uni!

Looks like this ti the prince, ”I aotten out of control May I ask how long will it take the other royal knights or guards to notice that so?”
