Chapter 459 Continuous (4k)

Time pauses at this moment.

Moon also took a step forward.

She stood ten steps in front of Moen and clapped her hands and laughed:

“It’s a good start.”
–
Baratheon was very noisy tonight.

The entire imperial capital was shrouded in the shadow of war.

Fighting and wailing are the only protagonists tonight.

In the Baratheon Palace, several court nobles hurried into the audience hall and said to the only person in the hall:

“Your Majesty, we have found the traitor’s location.”

The young queen turned around immediately.

“I understand.”

Tonight is the time for the final battle between the Royalists and the Duke’s faction.

But no matter what the situation outside is, the only thing that determines the outcome of tonight is who can survive between the Queen and the Duke.

The young queen put on her hood and covered herself completely in the elven cloak.

She is going to fight to the death with the leader of the rebel party.

Angel to angel, very reasonable.

The survival of the country depends on one person.

Today, it’s all about victory or defeat.

Why do I always feel like something is wrong?

The queen felt something was wrong after walking out of the palace, which made her subconsciously clutch the cloak in front of her chest.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong with you? At this point, everything about us and this country depends on you. You must keep going and win!”

The nobles behind the Queen looked nervous and worried.

The young queen waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.

Then he walked quickly forward.

Yes, not only do I have to win, but I can’t have any hesitation.

Everything is simple now, and the opportunity to end the troubles in this country is right in front of us.

The only way to continue the royal rule is right in front of us.

Go over there and kill him.

It’s that simple!
Seeing that the queen seemed to have returned to normal, the nobles behind her said:
“Yes, Your Majesty, that’s it. As long as you kill that traitor, everything will be over!”

“I see.”

The queen continued to move forward, and for some reason she felt that the familiar gate of the courtyard was pushed open by her own hands.

Inside, under the moonlight, the Queen finally saw the target of her trip – the Duke of the South!

The de facto ruler of Baratheon was now looking up at the sky with his back to her, seemingly admiring the bright moonlight.

“It’s him, Lord Nanfang! Your Majesty, kill him!”

“Your Majesty, please kill him!”

The voices of the nobles continued to ring out behind the Queen.

The queen responded and took a step forward, but immediately stopped because she didn’t know why her heart was palpitating.

“The chaos tonight will be solved as long as this man is killed. Your Majesty can’t delay any longer!”

“Don’t be afraid, Your Majesty. He is definitely no match for you. He doesn’t even know you are here!”

“Kill him, Your Majesty, and you will win if you kill him!”

The Queen was still unwilling to move forward, which made the nobles’ voices more anxious and chaotic.

Finally, that voice gradually replaced the noisy world and turned into a chaotic yet unified mumbling:
“kill him!”

“kill him!”

“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!”

The chaotic sounds made the queen frown tightly, but even if she covered her ears tightly, the sounds would still invade her soul.

Intent on controlling her mind and body.

‘No, this is not right, there must be something wrong!’

The queen, who always felt something was wrong, tried her best to fight against the voice.

“Kill him!!!”

Suddenly, a thunderous sound exploded in the ears of the queen.

The Queen looked back in shock and found that all the previous Baratheon emperors were roaring at her madly behind her.

“Have you forgotten who gave you the glory and happiness of your life?”

The sound reached a new peak, but the young queen was no longer bothered by it.

Because she remembered.

She lowered her hands from covering her ears and whispered to the people behind her:
“No, I haven’t forgotten, so I refuse!”

All the sounds suddenly stopped, and the noise in the city suddenly disappeared.

The whole world seemed to have quieted down.

The young queen remembered everything about herself.

That is not your enemy, that is your teacher.

Someone who truly gave his all.

Time stood still again.

Moon also took the second step.
–
The Knights of Judgment, wearing black cloaks, were wandering around outside, searching for everything.

as their goal.

The witch tightened her cloak and lowered the brim of her hat.

Passed by several Judgment Knights on warhorses.

The witch hunt is getting more intense.

She may be the only surviving witch.

She didn’t know who was right or wrong in this turmoil.

She hadn’t seen the other witches, but she did see the villages that were burned down by evil magic.

It seemed to be the work of a witch, but it also seemed not to be.

She didn’t know exactly how, but she knew she wanted to survive.

While thinking this, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something and picked up a little girl beside her. She put her down before she started to make a noise.

This left the child confused.

But after waiting for a while.

The little girl was surprised to see that the place where she had just stood was suddenly buried by the collapsed house.

That house clearly looks very solid?

Noticing that no one was injured, the witch quickly disappeared into the tumultuous crowd.

Just before she left here completely, she caught a glimpse of the little girl she had rescued suddenly finding the Knights of Judgment who had rushed over after hearing the news.

“Did she find something wrong with me, so she suspected that she was a witch and reported me? But didn’t I just save her?”

The witch felt a little aggrieved.

But also sped away from the town.

What happened in the next few days proved the witch’s idea.

More and more Judgment Knights gathered around her. They were experienced and numerous, and through their efforts day and night, they successfully narrowed the encirclement of the witch.

Wait until the seventh day.

The witch hiding in the cave was accidentally discovered by one of them.

The witch was completely forced into a dead end by them.

Looking at the Knights of Judgment who were ready for battle.

The witch took off her hood and asked them:
“Why can’t you let me go?”

The Judgement Knight drew his sword and said:

“Because you are a witch, a heretic!”

“But I haven’t hurt anyone!”

“Nonsense! You clearly used evil magic to destroy a poor man’s house! And the reason you did this was just to disrupt our sight so that you could escape more easily!”

The witch is still trying to defend herself:
“I didn’t, it was just that the house was about to collapse!”

“What nonsense! The house was just repaired last year. How could it collapse by itself? And this child saw everything you did!”

The little girl who was rescued by the witch appeared timidly in front of the witch.

This made the witch even more heartbroken and she said:
“I obviously saved you!”

The little girl didn’t know how to answer and could only hide behind the knights.

The knight who questioned the witch protected the girl behind him and said:
“Stop making excuses, witch. You just wanted to hold a poor child hostage, but you gave up because you thought you were not exposed yet.”

“Why can’t you trust me?”

The witch couldn’t understand.

The knight also said incomprehensibly:
“Why should we trust an evil heretic witch?”

“In the name of the gods, kill her!” The knights shouted in the name of the gods and rushed forward to kill.

“No, I am not!”

Amidst the hoarse shouting, the witch who had made the rebuttal woke up in shock.

Looking at the dark and cold cave.

The witch let out a long sigh.

Is it a dream?
But it was also because of her scream in her dream.

She suddenly heard footsteps coming closer and closer outside the cave.

She knew the sound, it was the riding boots of those Judgement Knights.

But there is only one person who can hear the voice?

Wait, this, isn’t this my dream? !

The witch clearly remembered that in her dream just now, she was discovered by a knight who suddenly broke in and was surrounded by the Knights.

So now the dream is coming true?
Despair and coldness slowly crept up her spine.

At the same time, a voice sounded quietly in her ears:

‘Kill him! Kill him before they notice!’

Driven by this voice, the witch subconsciously walked forward.

Successfully saw the knight who seemed to be looking for something.

‘Yes, kill him, kill him before he finds out!’

Following the instigation of the voice, the witch subconsciously raised her hand.

As long as she had the thought, as the daughter of the abyss, this knight would have absolutely no chance of survival.

“You did nothing wrong, they were the ones who were wrong. You did nothing wrong, but they just didn’t want to let you go!”

‘So kill him, then kill them, then go burn that village down and rip out the tongue of that girl who slandered you!’

Powerful force gathered in the witch’s hands without any fluctuation.

The voice became more and more excited:
‘Yes, that’s it, kill, kill, kill, kill!’

But the witch did not act immediately. She hesitated and said:

“But, but what if it’s not like that?”

‘Why not? They surrounded you, and that girl slandered you! So what are you hesitating about? Kill them!’

“But that’s just what I saw. Maybe the truth is different from this.”

Eyes can deceive us. This is common sense but also not common sense.

“You are the daughter of the abyss. Do you think humans will let you go?”

The sound that should have been the final word made the witch put down her hand.

“No, I am not the daughter of the abyss. Someone has redeemed me from the abyss!”

Although she couldn’t remember what that person looked like, the witch remembered those words.

I remember that person, enveloped in endless light, said to me:
“Child, I have redeemed your soul from the abyss!”

In the witch’s voice, the bewitching whispers also disappeared.

The witch took the initiative to walk out of the shadows and said to the knight:

“It was a misunderstanding. I can explain it.”

What surprised the witch was that the man who had drawn his sword upon hearing the voice put it down upon seeing her and said:

“Oh, it’s you. You saved that little girl. She told me about you!”

“You’d better not be here alone. It’s dangerous here because there is a demon wandering around. We have been tracking it for many days.”

The female knight sheathed her sword, took off her helmet, and extended her hand to the witch in a friendly manner.

“By the way, my name is Siris, Siris from the Land of Mist, serving the Holy Grail and the Hermit.”

The completely unexpected scene made the witch freeze in place.

But after a moment, the witch laughed from the bottom of her heart.

Amid the witch’s laughter, Moon took another step forward.

Eleven steps, eight steps left! ——
The holy sword of the last son was stuck in the blazing bonfire.

The three sisters who guarded the holy sword knelt in front of it in silence.

Behind them is a magnificent yet dilapidated ancient temple.

They obeyed the youngest son’s wish and will forever guard the holy sword he left behind.

Just like this ruined temple and the holy sword before them.

They all have no owners.

Just living mechanically following the inertia of the past.

Under such circumstances, they don’t know how much time has passed outside.

They only know that the reason they are still alive is to protect the holy sword left by their master.

And people outside also know that there is a holy object hidden here.

So on this day, surrounded by countless people, a noble emperor walked towards them.

“I have built a country that rules the whole world, so give me this sword. It will become the symbol of this country and the highest glory!”

“How’s it going? Very good, right?”

But the three sisters did not react.

This made the emperor, who was full of confidence, return home in disappointment.

I don’t know how long it’s been since.

Another person walked in, without the same grand ceremony as the emperor.

But he has a majesty far beyond that of an emperor who rules the world.

“I have defeated everyone except myself, so give me this sword, or I will destroy you and this ridiculous sword!”

He was not lying, because the three sisters did feel a power from him that was far beyond their imagination.

But they did not waver.

While protecting the holy sword, they also silently placed their hands on the holy sword.

They will defend the holy sword with their lives, and at the same time, they will break the holy sword at the last moment before defeat.

The invincible man who saw this could only return in disappointment.

Things are changing.

During this time, many people came and wanted to take the holy sword.

But they all refused.

Today, the already dilapidated temple has become a complete ruin.

The only things that remain unchanged are the holy sword stuck in the bonfire and the three sisters who have kept their hands on the holy sword, ready to break it at any time since the invincible man.

On this day, another group of people walked into the ruins trembling.

They have neither the splendor of an emperor nor the power of an invincible man.

They were pale and thin, dressed in rags, and hungry.

They said they were refugees from far away.

Evil forces are destroying their hometown.

They didn’t come here because they heard there was a holy sword and wanted to obtain its power to fight evil.

They were simply passing by.

As soon as day breaks, they will flee to a farther place.

The refugees, who had no demands and no identity, made the three sisters feel a little shaken.

They looked at each other.

After a moment, the youngest daughter released her hand from the sword:

“I remember this is the sword left for hope.”

Then came the second daughter:
“I remember this is the sword for the future.”

Finally, the eldest daughter:

“I remember this is the sword reserved for kindness.”

Completely different from the memories they were entrusted with, the three sisters each spoke of things and decisions that did not belong to their own memories.

Finally, the eldest daughter looked at her sisters and said:

“Then the resolution is passed. The triple restraints are lifted, and the Holy Sword Guardian is changed to the Holy Sword Wielder. To fight against evil and protect hope.”

The figures of the three sisters began to become illusory and overlap.

Eventually the three became one.

The three sisters who guarded the holy sword were promoted to the goddess who wields the holy sword – Valershia Cailindra.

At dusk she will be the eldest daughter, at daytime she will be the second daughter, and at dawn she will be the youngest daughter.

This was everything that the youngest son had set for them in the beginning.

When necessary, he would take over the holy sword even though there is still no successor.

Although their memories were rebuilt, they still hadn’t forgotten their agreement with Moon.

So Moon took another step forward.
