Chapter 256 King's Tears(1/2)
The king pulled out the sword from his waist, and looked at Raven with fierce eyes on his majestic face. Although it seemed normal, when facing his youngest daughter, drawing a sword or something, this kind of behavior had nothing to do with normality.
.
Moreover, the king's attitude towards Raven was completely different from before. Although he had a majestic image before, he did not have too many negative emotions. But now, he treats Raven as if he were his own enemy, exuding terror and fear all over his body.
And shocking hatred.
Raven looked to be only seven or eight years old. In front of his two-meter-tall one-legged father, Raven looked delicate and petite. Even with a sword in his hand, he didn't feel threatening.
Alice thought that if the king really killed his own daughter, then she must stop the king first and not let Raven die under the sword of her father who was blinded by hatred.
On the other side, the sword in the king's hand has been raised high, and the tenacity of the sword reflects the cold and sharp light. Raven also made a posture to fight. The atmosphere between the two sides became very tense, and even the air was filled with
The smell of gunpowder.
"brush"
The king took the lead in launching the attack. The sword of the monarch in his hand was sharper and more powerful than the soldier's sword in Raven's hand. Before the two sides started fighting, the king already had an absolute advantage in terms of weapons. The sharp sword was in
A white sword light was pulled out from the dim light, and the sword light brought up a strong wind, whistling towards Princess Raven!
Obviously there was no intention of showing any mercy, and Alice was already preparing to intercept her, but she saw that Princess Raven looked unusually calm.
Facing the menacing sword strike, Raven moved. Her speed was too fast, faster than the king's sword light, and she quickly dodged the murderous sword.
This was completely beyond Alice's expectation. She didn't expect that although Raven looked only seven or eight years old, he was very agile. What Alice didn't know was that Raven was a swordsman genius when he was a child, although he was not as powerful as Alice.
, but in terms of swordsmanship, even my sixteen-year-old brother has to be defeated.
Raven's swordsmanship is mainly about agility. Her dexterity and deft sword skills are her two major advantages in defeating opponents who are stronger and more damaging than herself.
She defeated her royal brother and younger brother through two advantages. The king once said that if Raven were a boy, he would let her become the next monarch of this kingdom.
After dodging his father's sword, Raven did not take it lightly.
She held the soldier's sword in her hand, and her figure disappeared on the spot. When she reappeared, she was already in mid-air behind the king. Then she waved the sword in her hand, the speed of the wind whistling, and it stabbed the king's round flesh.
Shoulder!
The king, who was wearing a gorgeous robe, snorted coldly, backhanded the sword in his hand, and blocked Raven's attack before the accessory hit his shoulder. The two swords collided in the air, creating a series of dazzling sparks.
Compared with her father's strength, Raven's strength was still too weak. Not only did this quick attack fail, but she was knocked back by the king's blocked sword.
Raven's hand holding the sword felt numb, but she was not discouraged. After being knocked back five or six meters in the air, she raised the sword again. This time, she held the sword with both hands and raised the sword high above her head. Her body was in contact with the ground.
Parallel and rotating, launch the second thrust.
"You don't know what you can do!"
The king snorted coldly, raised the sword in his hand again, and drew a sharp sword light in the dim space. Although this sword was a little slower than Raven's attack speed, Raven's soldier's sword was about to
It stabbed the king in the abdomen, but the sword, which struck later, succeeded in cutting two-thirds of the sword's blade at the critical moment!
With a crisp sound, the soldier's sword in Raven's hand could no longer bear it, and was instantly cut in half by the king's sword! The severed front half of the sword spun in the air and fell to the carpet. The sword in Raven's hand
Only the back half of the sword is left.
"Danger!"
Alice took a step forward, about to swing her sword to stop the king.
At this moment, an extremely sharp scream suddenly roared from behind. Alice instinctively dodged and avoided this flying sword with sinister intentions. If Alice had moved slower, the flying sword would have penetrated
Pass by the heart.
not good!
Alice reacted. Although she had dodged the flying sword, the flying sword was still flying forward. If it hurt Raven, Alice would not have time to provide support.
The flying sword that Alice dodged brought with it a strong sound of breaking wind, and flew towards the king who was raising his sword to kill Princess Raven. Because the king was paying attention to Raven, when he noticed the flying sword, he had already
There was no time to make a dodge, and the sword that was swung hard could not be recovered in such a short period of time.
At this critical moment, Raven suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of the king as quickly as possible, opening his arms to block the flying sword.
The flying sword passed through the heart, and blood mist sprayed out of Raven's mouth, like an abandoned rag doll, falling from the air, the light of the beautiful green eyes like gems quickly dimmed, and a tear slid down the corner of the princess's eye, crying.
Wet bloodstained carpet.
The yellow princess dress was stained with blood, and blood kept gushing out from the wound where the sword was inserted. There were tears in the eyes of the sad princess, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a shallow smile.
"Raven!!"
Alice's eyes were red. It was clear that the sword could not hit the princess, but would only hurt the king... But the girl who had always been afraid of her father did not hesitate to block the king who wanted to kill her.
The sword fell.
Seeing his weak daughter who was about to die after blocking the sword for him, the king's expression changed from fierce to dull, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. The one-legged king suddenly leaned over, knelt down slowly, and trembled with
With both hands, he held up Raven, whose glory had dimmed. There was no arrogance or hatred in his tone, only a sense of bewilderment:
"...My daughter, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes...look at me, I, I am your father!"
The princess in the king's arms tried hard to open her eyes, with bloodshot eyes hanging from the corners of her mouth. She looked at her father's much older face, tremblingly opened her mouth, and used all her strength to say in a low voice:
"You finally no longer recognize me as Brother Wang... I'm very happy. I never deceived you. Father... it's really, really good to wake up."
After saying this, Raven choked on the blood in her throat and coughed. The king hugged her helplessly, stretched out his hand and patted the princess's back gently. He was afraid that the patting would hurt, so he tried to move gently.
"My, my last wish is that you can let go of the past, and also let go of my friends...and"
Raven was talking, but she had lost the strength to make a sound. She moved her fingers hanging by her side, wanting to give her father a last hug, but she used all her strength and could not do this simple thing.
Action. The sad princess now smiled happily. She opened her mouth and silently said the last three words to the king:
"...I love you."
Raven just died in the king's arms.
Those eyes as beautiful as emeralds could never be opened again. The king held the princess's body and cried like a young child. He cried so sadly that even the soldier dolls around him
They also lowered their heads, seeming to feel sad for the death of the princess.
"Hahahahahaha!"
However, an arrogant laughter suddenly broke the gloomy atmosphere, and a figure walked out of the soldier doll. This was a boy who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. He wore a crown on his head. The style of the crown was similar to that of the king, but
Without the dignity of a king, one can be certain that he is a prince.
The prince looks different from the king. He looks like a normal person. He doesn't have two heads or six arms. He even looks very handsome. He has a pair of dark brown pupils like the king, and his expression is full of pride.
color:
"My dear father, your beloved Princess Raven has died. This is really a sad thing, hahahaha..."
Alice looked at the arrogant laughing boy with red eyes. A golden light flashed through her amber eyes, which showed that Alice's mood was not as calm as it seemed. The prince successfully aroused the little witch's attention.
At the same time, Alice had the urge to beat him up.
Looking into the eyes of the little blond witch, the prince couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in an unhappy tone:
"Hey, I wanted to kill you with a sword, but you escaped with your life. Now you are not grateful to be alive. Instead, you are staring at me with that kind of hatred in your eyes. You still don't thank me. Isn't it too unruly?
Boom!"
Before the prince could finish his words, Alice grabbed his arm and gave him a sharp over-the-shoulder throw.
Alice's strength was not small, and because of the anger in her heart, she had to strike harder. Therefore, when the prince fell to the carpet, a crater was directly hit on the ground. The dust rose and the sound of broken bones was clear.
Audible.
The prince screamed, and tears of pain welled up. Who would have thought that a little girl who looked only nine years old could have the terrifying power of a monster. Unprepared, the prince fell hard.
Several bones were also broken.
"You damn little brat, you actually dare to attack this prince. Come on, catch her! I'll make her pay a heavy price!"
The arrogant prince got up from the ground, pointed at Alice's nose, and shouted to the silent puppet soldiers around him.
However, none of the puppet soldiers chose to obey the prince's order. At this time, the king, who had been crying bitterly, suddenly raised his head and looked at the arrogant prince. The king's real pressure made the originally arrogant prince shrink back.
He shrunk his neck and stopped shouting. Instead, he put his hands on his hips and pretended to be bold and said to the king:
"Father, you just watch a low-level commoner bullying a child? He is indeed a fool. The king who is a fool should step down!"
The king looked at his son in silence, until the prince could no longer hold back and showed a fearful expression, then he slowly spoke and said in a majestic voice:
"You still have the nerve to come back? You betrayed the country for the sake of the throne and caused the destruction of a country. Now you are still arrogant on my territory... What qualifications do you have?"
The prince showed a helpless expression and looked around in a panic. He noticed that the soldier dolls with scarlet eyes around him were staring at him coldly. Only now did he really wake up. Even if the country has been destroyed, these soldiers are only
He will obey the king's wishes and orders and has nothing to do with him being a traitor.
Having lost his status and trust in front of his father, how is he different from the lowest common people? At this point, the prince suddenly smiled and looked at the affectionate and serious king with tears on his face with a ferocious expression.
He said loudly and without hesitation:
"Don't you want to pass the throne to Raven? The king said that my father wants to pass the throne to Raven, the best and smartest swordsman. Since the throne does not belong to me, then why should I be a coward and incompetent?
Prince, you were the one who forced me to commit treason! It’s all my father’s fault!”
The king, who looked much older, still had the majesty of a monarch. He stared seriously at his son, the prince who he considered to be the next monarch but had betrayed the country, and said in a cold voice:
"You are really a complete idiot for using your own lack of talent and morality as a reason for treason. The throne is yours, but because you, a beast like you, rebelled against the country, both the throne and the country are gone.
To be continued...
