The knight king of the otherworldly moon

"Wash...hair!" Arturia's body tensed again, and the towel on her face fell from the sound of fright.

"Yeah! On the battlefield before, your golden hair has faded a lot. If you don't take good care of it, it may wither like grass in the future. As a girl, you can't take good care of your hair."

"Girls or something, I never thought about it before."

Arturia turned her back to Lucifer, not wanting her to see her red face.Reason told her that she should firmly refuse, but she had more expectations in her heart.

Ordinary girl, normal girl's life.She had never thought about it before.

"Hair is also a sign of femininity, how about learning how to live like an ordinary girl from now on?"

"Then, please."

This time, Arturia obediently walked out of the water.

Lucifer skillfully applied the juice to her hair, and a feeling of nostalgia rose in her heart.The scene in front of me is somewhat familiar, but the space at that time was not as big as it is now, and this person is not in front of me.

The two worlds are reincarnated, and things are right and wrong.Only a trace of the past was left, and even the figure in the picture was already blurred, and only that feeling remained.He will miss, but will no longer be haunted by the past.

Thinking of this, the strength in Lucifer's hand was unconsciously used in the wrong direction.

"what!"

In his ears, the girl's voice was inadvertently mixed with a hint of temptation.Lucifer woke up from his memories.

"what happened?"

"Well, my ears are a little... a little itchy."

Hearing this voice, a different thought suddenly rose in Lucifer's heart.

"is it here?"

"Hmm. Ah! Please don't do that."

"Leah, you just said that you are not feminine. But that's not what you said in your voice. I'm so moved right now that I already want to act."

"Huh! Huh!!"

"It's this kind of voice again, with a hint of shyness in the coldness, like a change in the tone of a passionate note, which makes people want to stop."

"Please don't say such misleading words, my voice will make people addicted to something, I have never been."

"But, I have already responded."

"Quick... quick... stop!"

"Whose fault do you think I've become like this. As a knight, you should take responsibility for your mistakes."

"Too cunning, that kind of reasoning."

The knight princess gradually gave up her resistance...*

After several days of marching, the army finally returned to the royal city.During this period, Lucifer had already received a message from Semiramis, and Ross in the north had stopped assembling the army and started to face a new wave of beasts in the country.

After getting the news, Rome also stopped the three legions that were originally aimed at Britain, but with the tendency to move south, the diplomatic side is also putting pressure on France, and Macedonia has also moved. The threat to the north has also been temporarily lifted.

However, in addition to this, there is another interesting thing that caught Lucifer's attention, that is, the prince Pepin, who was to be exchanged back to France, was successfully portrayed as a man who wanted to protect the lives of his soldiers. The hero who had to surrender also emphasized the role of the prince in the subsequent negotiations.

After returning home, the prince also denounced the dead Lothar and Anseth, and put all the sins on the two dead men.He constantly preached Lothar's paranoia and Anseth's willful actions, which made the original war situation worse.

Even the funniest thing is that he also claimed that it was because he already knew that Britain had destructive weapons, so he didn't want to let the Dragon Legion overwhelm him before, but Lothar insisted on him, which led to the Legion's death. completely annihilated.

Now that this statement has already achieved results, it sounds like there is some truth to it. Anyone who understands it can see that it is nonsense.Sadly, the public never understood.So France increased the condemnation of Lothar and Ansace, and the prince became a hero and was praised by people.

When he heard the news, Lucifer felt that letting him back might be the most correct decision in the previous negotiation.

Although I had long thought that with the personality of that guy, I would definitely throw the blame, but to be able to do such a superb thing, I must have the support of the emperor.At the time, I just thought that this joke might be able to mess up the country in France, but now it seems that his effect is far greater than imagined.I sincerely wish you a long life, Your Royal Highness.

Turning back, Lucifer unconsciously saw Arturia's face, and the latter's body stiffened subconsciously.After reacting, he reluctantly returned to his usual calm expression.If there is anything to say about the peaceful life of these few days, it is probably the relationship with the girl in front of him.

After several times of growth, the girl who has softened in private seems to have a tendency to give up on herself.Of course, on the surface, it was the heroic and determined knight.

Gawain and these guys haven't found anything yet, but thinking about it carefully, with the personality of this guy, even if they find it, it's probably just a little more ridicule.

In the distance, the royal city of Britain has come into view.The front door of the royal city was wide open, and the imperial guards of the royal city were neatly lined up on both sides of the avenue.

Lucifer led a group of knights into the city for a long time. He waved his arms on his horse to respond to the people around him. Both sides of the street were filled with cheering crowds. They shouted loudly and offered flowers in their hands to the heroes.

The enthusiasm of the people on the street extended all the way to the palace. Although many people had never seen Lucifer before, there was no doubt that this victory had made them identify the young king from their hearts.

After dismounting, he walked up the steps of the palace step by step. Lucifer came to the top of the steps. He turned around and opened his arms, facing the crowd of people below.

"People of Britain, my name is Lucifer Noctis, Lord of the Sword, and your King. Not long ago we won the battle against France. Like this victory, from today From now on, I will lead this country to a new life as the king." Lucifer's voice was filled with magic, and it was instantly enlarged many times.

In the huge square in front of the palace, everyone seemed to be in the echoes.The new king led the country to a great victory, and at the same time won the support of the people.This is Lucifer at this moment.

In the square below the steps, the crowd erupted into huge cheers, and they chanted the same name together. .

"Knight King!"

The king who was born in the kingdom of knights was named the king of knights, and it has been handed down to the world ever since.Taking advantage of this perfect opportunity in front of him, Lucifer spoke out about the important decision he had planned before.

"As King of Britain, I hereby announce two decisions. First, in memory of those who gave their lives for the country in the war, I will erect a stone tablet at the foot of Mount Tudor, west of the king's city, which will record all those who died in battle. Names. Warriors, even if one of you tragically dies, your story deserves to be remembered in history."

Compared with titles and money, for the traditions of this country, glory may be something far beyond it.And Lucifer's approach is undoubtedly to preserve this glory in history in the way of kingship.

The treatment that should only be available to nobles and kings is now shared by the king with the world.For a time, whether it was a civilian or a soldier, whether it was a knight or a military attache, the eyes they looked at Lucifer were filled with reverence.

This time, no other command is required, and no advance preparation is required.All soldiers held high their weapons in unison, and offered their greatest loyalty to their king.

"king!"

Such cheers continued for a long time until Lucifer's arm pressed down and made a stop gesture.After everyone saw this gesture, it was almost as if they had been casted by magic, and they stopped all actions consciously at the same time.

The originally lively square suddenly became quiet, and the cohesion was amazing.At the same time, it made many nobles even more lamented that it was this king who had never appeared before.

Taking this opportunity, Lucifer continued to announce his second decision.

"Second, this victory did not belong to me alone. In the war, I saw many warriors who fought bloody battles for this land. Some of them were civilians, some were illegitimate children, and some could not even become knights. It was precisely because of They have won our great victory. I firmly believe in the meaning of their struggle. To this end, I declare that I will issue a decree to give people the justice they deserve."

"king!"

From this as a starting point, everyone officially recognized Lucifer as the king and recognized him to rule the country.

As Lucifer officially moved into the palace, the princess who was originally in the palace was also moved out.She and her former servant were arranged in a nobleman's mansion, which was originally a duke's courtyard, which was later confiscated by the king, and now distributed to Morgan by Lucifer. *

no.50 Want to go?First find a person who takes the blame (begging for tickets, asking for flowers)

In the past few days, Lucifer quickly launched a reform plan, taking advantage of the enthusiasm of the people.In addition to promulgating just decrees, there are other things that everyone can be promoted through military merit.In general, Lucifer put the adjustment of [Qin] and [Han] systems into this country.It's just that the law does not use the Qin law that is not acclimatized to the environment.

One of the most important of all reforms is that the estates of the nobles are now not only inherited by the eldest son, but will be inherited equally by all the children, and the eldest son will take back their respective fields from the other children after the equal division. One-tenth as a preferential treatment for the eldest son.

This decree is something that Lucifer imitated in the Han Dynasty.The key point of the decree of push is to build more vassal states, so as to reduce their strength and prevent them from posing a threat to the central government.

Because Lucifer had already made a move before and expressed sympathy for those soldiers, this condition now seems like Lucifer is practicing what he said.And his reasons are almost impeccable, people can not and dare not resist.

Although many nobles were somewhat resistant to this decree, at this time, they just took the new king a little too fair, even upright, and they even looked forward to watching Lucifer's good show in the future.After all, in their impression, once there is another war, they still need to rely on these nobles.

However, these people would never have imagined that this was just the first step for Lucifer.The purpose is to decentralize their power and lay the foundation for the centralization change that will follow.

After several days of work day and night, Lucifer finally issued all the decrees in the first step.At night, the lights in the Palace Chamber are still lit.The others had long since dispersed, and only two figures remained in the hall.

"Phew! It's finally done, and it should be easy for a while." Lucifer put down the documents at hand.

Thanks to a certain time and space in his previous life, he had learned government affairs from Demon King Oslois for a period of time, so Lucifer would not be a novice now.Although the demon king finally became addicted to cultivating immortals and couldn't extricate himself, he had to admit that he was still a good king before that.

"I'm sorry, I can't help." Arturia's expression was a little guilty.

Since the afternoon, she just stood there watching Lucifer handle affairs skillfully.She didn't know what to do at all.

"It's the greatest help for me that you can stand there. Besides, at night, thanks to Leah, I can relax a little from exhaustion."

Lucifer's joke was only said, and Arturia changed to a serious face.

"King! It's official time, please don't make such nasty jokes. Otherwise I'll run my duty."

That's right!Due to the previous agreement, Arturia was also Lucifer's counselor as a knight.If there is anyone in this country who dares to preach to him in front of Lucifer, it is only the girl in front of him.

This is the duty that Lucifer gave her, in order to prevent Lucifer from making irreparable actions on a whim due to the influence of the abyss that may appear.So far, she's doing well.

Of course, Arturia's biggest role was to remind her that the real decision was still in Lucifer's hands.

"Yeah! Leah, who is too serious, is really strict."

"The king is too lazy."

"Just spare me, Leah. With such a workload every day, don't let me make jokes. I'm afraid that I will die from overwork one day." Lucifer saw the girl in front of him being unselfish. The sell-out mode is on.

"It's my negligence. If the king wants to relax, I won't stop it, but please do so during the non-'king' time." As Leah spoke, she wondered to herself whether she was being too strict.

At this moment, a report from the guards came from outside the hall, saying that Prime Minister Semiramis was visiting.Hearing this news, Lucifer also put away his joking expression, he motioned Leah to return to his position with his eyes, and then asked the guard to bring Semiramis in.

On the round table, after a simple opening, Semiramis directly entered the theme.

"King! I came today to return this badge."

Semiramis pushed a special badge in his hand towards Lucifer, the badge slid across the table for a distance, and finally came to Lucifer's hand.

"Leave it. I have no intention of taking it back for now."

Lucifer didn't even look at it, he pushed back the badge representing the Prime Minister again.Semiramis picked it up and looked at the king in front of him.

"Are you really going to keep me as prime minister?"

"Are there any other suitable candidates here besides you? If so, recommend one to me. Otherwise, I won't take it back."

Lucifer's words are already very clear.She can retire anytime if she can find a suitable replacement, but until then, give me a good job.

The tacit understanding between them no longer needs to be said, Semiramis smiled and put away the badge.

"It's really rascal enough. But it's to my liking. Since I'm still Prime Minister, I can now say the purpose of this trip."

At this time, Semiramis began to describe the purpose of the trip.The previous initiative to resign the prime minister's post was originally a means of retreating.If Lucifer agrees, it means that his trust in her is not enough, and the next thing cannot be said.

On the contrary, it means that there will be no problem in saying the next thing. *

no.51 The way to deal with the princess (asking for tickets, asking for flowers)

Lucifer listened to her quietly and understood her meaning.He noticed that Semiramis was still looking at Arturia.

"Well, you are my prime minister, there is no need to hesitate between us. Similarly, Leah is the person I trust most, and there is no need to hide between us."

This was Lucifer's attitude at this time.

"Then I'll be straight. Regarding the royal family, maybe it should be called the former royal family now. Regarding her arrangement, I have a very suitable proposal here."

Before Semiramis' proposal was spoken, Lucifer already understood what she wanted to say.

"If what you want to say is to marry Morgan, it is reasonable and legal to take full control of the country. Forget it, this proposal is rejected." There was unquestionable determination in his calm tone.

"The fact that Wang can say this proves that you have thought about this proposal. But why did you reject it? Please be blunt, although you have the support of a large number of new-born nobles and even the army and us, but there are still many old Nobles, they miss the blood of the royal family in their hearts. If you want their support, the best way is to marry Princess Morgan. In this way, you are the real king of Britain."

The current situation in Britain is a bit complicated. The old aristocratic faction, also known as the old royal faction, is not loyal to the royal family, but just needs a spokesperson to represent their interests. These people still have a lot of energy.Lucifer's reforms may touch their nerves, and the best way to get their support is to marry Morgan, so that even if these people are dissatisfied, they have no right to object.

"At this moment, I am already the king of Britain, the only king, there is no truth or falsehood, and I don't need them to admit it. If they don't want to accept the reality and still indulge in the past, then I can only bury them with the past. This country seems to be It is not easy to see the hope of a new life, and I will not show mercy to those who dare to destroy this hope, even if my hands are stained with blood."

"You haven't answered me yet, why?" he asked.

"You didn't choose Morgan as King of Britain before, why?" Lucifer also responded with a rhetorical question.

"She doesn't have that ability."

"That's right! She doesn't have that ability, and she doesn't get the approval of the holy sword, so she can't become a king. If I marry Morgan now, those so-called old nobles you call will definitely want to use Morgan to influence my decision. Whether she wants to or not, she herself will be caught in the coming storm." Lucifer recounted a possible fact in a calm tone.

Morgan has no talent. If she is elected by the old nobles as a banner against her new king, it will not be her who will benefit in the end, but the old nobles.She will only become a puppet in the hands of those old foxes.

Even if the confrontation fails, the old nobles can put all the crimes on Morgan, make her a witch who bewitched the king, and then put them to death to get rid of themselves.In the end, whether she succeeds or fails, she is destined to have no good results.

"..." Semiramis was silent.

She didn't expect that the reason why Lucifer didn't accept this condition was not because he hated Morgan, but because he was worried about hurting Morgan.

"I made a promise to Duke George that I would be kind to the former royal family, and if things turned out like that, even if I didn't want to, I might be in a situation where I wouldn't be able to kill her. The best way to be kind to the royal family is not to involve her in this. Instead, let her stay away from the political circle of the royal city. As long as she doesn't get involved with me, she will be fine." Lucifer continued to say calmly.
