chapter 2 Chaotic Continent

"Miss Altria, the Lord Duke is looking for you, please go over immediately." The maid named Victoria leaned forward and said to the lady in front of her.

The duke in her mouth is also the owner of this castle, or the land. One of the four grand princes and princesses of Britain.

"Aunt Rhongomyniad is looking for me, I have to go there quickly." Altria put down the sword, her expression a little flustered. She is very afraid of her aunt.

"Go! I'll just walk around, this garden is pretty good."

"When I come back, please continue to share your experience of swordsmanship with me."

"As long as you don't continue to do it, you are always welcome."

Waved goodbye to Altoria, until the girl's figure completely disappeared at the end of the road, Lucifer did not put down his arm.

Coming to the pavilion in the middle of the garden, he began to enjoy a moment of tranquility. Seeing the beautiful maid lady in front of him seemed to have no intention of leaving, he began to randomly find a topic for today's course. Yes, courses.

During this time, in addition to the knight girl, the maid lady was the person responsible for teaching his basic knowledge. It is said that this is also derived from the order of the Duchess. Today's topic naturally focused on Britain, and then a very interesting piece of information emerged.

"Choose the king by a sword?" Lucifer discovered now that it seems to have this sword here too.

"Don't you know? I really doubt where you are from. The ancestors of the past are the kings selected by the sword of king selection, without exception. It should have been passed on to his successors by the previous kings..." The voice was cut off, and she began to worry about the current situation in the country.

It is said that the sword can only be used by people with royal blood. The people who used the sword in the past were born from the royal family. This seems to prove this legend. However, this generation had a small accident.

"It's just that the king of this generation was seriously injured and killed in the war, and he doesn't seem to have a successor. That's why they came up with the method of drawing the sword openly."

It is said to be drawing a sword, but it is actually another test of using a sword. As for whether there is shady, only the parties know.

"It was the method that the four grand princes and princesses came up with together." The maid responded calmly.

"Yes! This continent is not peaceful. Britain is surrounded by enemies on three sides. The previous generations of kings and southern France have fought for nearly a hundred years, which has exhausted the blood of the people. After the death of the king, the nobles in the country are also ready to move, this The country has reached the stage of domestic and foreign difficulties, and it urgently needs a new king to get out of the predicament, at least to stabilize the situation."

The Britain in front of us is much more dangerous than the one in our own history. Lothian is to the north, Holy Rome is to the east, and France is to the south. Although there is no major chaos in the sea to the west, pirates will appear from time to time. The sword-drawing ceremony is still held now, thanks to the powerful suppression of the four princes and princesses. But this kind of repressive force could not last long, after all, they couldn't replace Wang. That's why they need a new king.

(T/N: In raw it Rose but i change it to Lothian, but in east the can read L but change it into R. Rose with Loth have same similarity if you have Asian east accent or correct me if I wrong)

"How do you know so clearly?"

"Conjecture from your words, this is not a difficult result, is it?"

"Isn't it a rare result?"

Is it simple? The maid wanted to ask this question, but couldn't say it.

At this time Lucifer suddenly changed a question.

"By the way, when will the election of the king end?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow is the deadline. But so far, no one can pull the sword from the stone seat."

"Maybe someone can do it, but maybe they don't want to do it deliberately!" Lucifer started jokingly.

"How could there be such a person?"

"Why is it impossible? This country has reached the critical point of collapse. As long as a slight deviation, the entire country will be destroyed. Now is not a good time to be crowned king. What awaits the new king is hell. indefinite."

No matter how you look at it, this country is a mess, and it may capsize if you are not careful. At that time, the anger of the people will undoubtedly be transferred to the new king. After all, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Being a king now is not a pleasure but misery, and it also requires ability.

"..." The maid was silent, she didn't know how to answer.

"However, there are still some idiots who are willing to go to such hell.'Because those people are smiling, that's enough.' People who will draw their swords for this reason, give up everything about themselves as humans, and become the king of ideals. Awkwardly a little cute." Lucifer laughed, his expression full of nostalgia.(T/N: Guess who? You will find it out)

In the light of the dark age, the king of the incarnation of the dragon saved his country with his own power. After ten years of battle and twelve victories, the king's reputation was pushed to the extreme. However, the final result of such a king is...

Yeah, it's so stupid that it hurts.

"Do you know who she is?" The maid was a little surprised, and it seemed that she also knew the default candidate.

"I know! Haven't you told me what you have done in the past two days, and whether it is in novels or other art, the protagonist is usually the last to appear. Only in this way will it be convincing, and it will also look like a king. "

"..." For a moment, the maid felt that the man in front of her was a little scary.

"Don't talk about 'her', Miss Victoria, can you take me to choose the place where the King's Sword is located?" There was a touch in my heart, Lucifer made this request.

"Miss said, I hope you wait for her to come back."

"Don't worry, I'm just going to have a look. I'll be back soon, and your lady should have also said that we must meet the reasonable needs of the guests."

"Before afternoon tea, we must rush back."

"no problem."

Although I don't know what this strange world has developed into, Lucifer decided to take a look at the legendary sword of the king. According to legend, the fate of that sword is connected to the fate of the sword bearer.
