98 – Kay(3)
“Why… Why! There’s only one person! He’s not even a hero! But why can’t he stop it!”
“Please calm down, Your Majesty.”
“If it were you, would you truly come alive? Now!”
Kwaang-!
At the same time as the loud sound, the imperial castle shook slightly.
At that time.
Jumping! He opened the door and a soldier rushed in.
“Your Majesty!”
“What’s up!”
“Ke, K… The demon king has entered the castle!”
“Ik! Stop it right away! Why can’t I catch a former knight commander who isn’t even a hero!”
“That’s strange!”
“Is that weird?”
“He doesn’t die even if he kills, and even though he rains high-level attacks, his magic shows no sign of diminishing. Just like the demon lord!”
“What the f*ck…”
“Your Majesty. Such foul language will damage Your Majesty’s honor.”
“···But the minister said that even the castle was invaded, so it seems very peaceful.”
“Huh, of course. Kei is like the one I raised.”
“Come to think of it, you were the teacher who trained Kei when he enlisted in the Imperial Knights! Then!”
“Yes, I can see what Kay is thinking and what kind of attack he’s going to make.”
“hahahaha! This is Jim scared for nothing.”
“I will deal with Kei who will come up soon. A 5 go is enough.”
“Yes, it’s worth trusting and entrusting it instead.”
It was then.
Illusion as if the world is shaking.
A sharp, pointy killing blow attacked them.
“···It must have arrived soon.”
Boom!
The door of the imperial family was blown away in tatters.
A soldier was knocked down by the door after receiving a strong shock.
“Did you throw a person into the door made of thick iron? It’s a great power.”
Suddenly!
I hear the terrible sound of blades digging into my skin.
It was the sound of the last soldier guarding the door being decapitated.
“It’s been a while. Kei.”
“…You are the master.”
“Okay, how are you?”
“You look like you’re doing well.”
“It doesn’t look like that.”
“Yes, because of whom.”
“···Your speaking habits are not good, you were like that before, but you were taught by me… Do you remember?”
“I’m not here to talk about memories with Master.”
“Yes… It is.”
“I’ll ask you one thing.”
“Tell me.”
“The hero… Whose will was it that betrayed us?”
“It was my will.”
“…Why did you do that?”
“Disciple, I had no choice but to do that.”
“Shut up and explain.”
“What do you think of when you hear the words ‘justice’, ‘hero’, or ‘being who protects people’?”
“…A hero?”
“Yes! It’s a warrior! But you know what? Ten years ago, those words symbolized us, the Imperial Knights.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“What’s the problem? The damned dog-pig-like people gradually forgot the Hwangseong Knights, who had protected them for hundreds of years, in their memories in the presence of a hero who appeared for a while. It is said that our position is getting smaller. If it continues, it will eventually happen. We will disappear into history. I couldn’t stand it….Then should we take revenge on the foolish people who forgot us? Or kill the warriors who were tired of fighting the demon king to make a stand-in, and in the people’s memory more and more Wouldn’t it be nice to be forgotten?”
“Is that why you betrayed us…”
“It’s not like that. It was just a noble sacrifice.”
“… Damn it.”
“Come to think of it, Kei. Even while you were attacking the kingdom, if you weren’t hostile, you never killed the people. Is there any reason?”
“…Rias.”
“What?”
“Rias wanted that.”
“Yes, there was that year too. Layra managed to escape…”
“I heard you tried to kill Rias as well.”
“Yes, I did.”
“…Is that so? Rias is not the emperor’s daughter! How could you even try to kill her!”
Then the emperor stroked his beard and said.
“What’s wrong with that?”
“… What?”
“So being a daughter isn’t just about being connected by blood. I asked what’s wrong with that.”
“…I’m your daughter.”
“Haa…”
The emperor sighed.
“To me, Rias is just a thorn in the eye that will threaten my position someday. That’s all.”
Kei felt it.
She had been feeling it for a long time, but after hearing their words, she definitely felt it.
“You don’t deserve to be alive.”
“It’s foolish. You’re a bastard and you show your teeth to the owner.”
“Teacher, would you like to try biting a dog’s teeth?”
Seureung-
Instead, he drew his sword.
Kay raised her scythe.
“I hope he doesn’t die soon.”
“I hope Master dies soon.”
“···Your talk has increased while I haven’t seen you.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“It’s a curse.”
“I knew.”
“Die for the future of the kingdom.”
“The rotten kingdom has no future.”
The two weapons point at each other.
The emperor closed his eyes at the same time.
-5 Is enough.
That’s what the substitute said. If it’s about 5 sums, it’s 10 to 20 seconds at the longest.
If you close your eyes for a while, it will already be over.
Kang-!
1 Go.
Cheeng-!
2G.
Quad Deuk!
3 P.S.
Kwaang-!
4 Rounds.
And finally.
Suddenly!
5 Go.
The emperor slowly opens his eyes.
Then Kei will lie down with her throat cut or her blood dripping, instead she will stand on top of it.
···It was so.
“… Vs, instead?”
When the emperor opened his eyes, what he saw was exactly what he had imagined.
Except for the fact that the decapitated person and the person standing on it are reversed.
“At least 10 years.”
The corpse cannot hear the voice, but Kay continued.
“It’s been 10 years since I learned from you. Did you think I would stay the same?”
The foolish one is Master.
Kei’s expression seemed to say that.
Then he turned her head towards the emperor.
“Hee… Hee!”
“The Emperor.”
I called him and kicked him.
“Khehehe!”
He struggled in pain, but he didn’t care.
“Why did you do that?”
Suddenly!
His right arm was cut off.
“aaagh!”
The emperor’s screams fill the imperial palace.
“Noisy.”
I cut my arm in half.
“Heh heh heh…”
The emperor’s eyes turn red.
“No.”
I pour the elixir on him.
“You can’t die yet. You can’t pass out.”
The arm began to play slowly.
The power of the elixir did not allow the emperor to faint.
“I’m not going to sleep tonight.”
And tonight will be very long for you.
It would have been very nice to have heard it from a woman, but to the emperor it was only a sentence of fear.
That night, for a long, long night, screams did not leave the imperial family.
