A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

The "struggle" started a few years ago.

The blood splashed from the man's neck splashed onto Eddie's face. The deep red color not only left a row of terrifying dripping spots on his overly fair cheeks, but also dyed his silver hair red.

His eyes were terrifying.

Not the look that would be shown to a dead person whose body was already chilling, because there was no indifference in it.There is only mockery, and the anger that can burn the fiery pupils.

Killing——For Eddie, it was just a troublesome thing, but he would definitely do it mercilessly when necessary.

It's just that he hasn't been so direct like this for a long time. He cut off people's necks by himself, and let the dirty blood splash on himself.

"Ah."

After a sneer, Eddie dropped the body and never looked at it again.

"That's it. Who else wants to continue to die?"

This sentence was clearly addressed to some other people who were not here, but it made the officials and servants who stayed at the scene of the mutation like statues "come alive" in an instant, screaming, wailing, and scrambling to escape.

Originally, a joyous dance was being held here, but the silver-haired man who suddenly appeared, in the eyes of the crowd changing from stupefied to terrified, mentioned the king sitting on the highest place, and cut off the king's neck in just a split second.

The palace was in chaos, like purgatory on earth.

Eddie is at the center of this chaos, but no one dares to come near him, let alone avenge the dead king.

Everyone was crying out the name of God, begging God to protect them.

"It's Eric...it's the devil Eric—he's here, and the rumors are actually true!"

"The king of the kingdom of sinners, Eric, who is more and more known as the devil. He is a traitor against God and a pagan 'god'. The noble kings of sinners have all died at the hands of this devil!"

Yes, the fact is probably like this, but the distorted part needs to be corrected.

Eddie did kill a few kings.

However, it wasn't that he wanted to kill casually on a whim, but that these disgusting guys, under the banner of God, wanted to invade his Papara insatiably.

Papara is Eddie's reverse scale and will never allow anyone to cross the line.

One time, you can ignore it, just treat it as a bug that doesn't have long eyes and bump into it on its own initiative, and just lift your foot and trample it to death.

Can be one after another.

again and again.

Eddie was surprisingly angry at last.

He didn't bother to kill all the troops that stepped into the border of Papara. He would trouble anyone who gave the order.

country of sinners.

Kill the kings of other countries.

Demon Lord "Eric"...

It really matches the story Merlin told.

Eddie thought it was ridiculous when he thought about it after so many years.

It has been said that the power of God has continued to this day, and has been considerably weakened with the extensive increase in the number of believers.Even if the gods want to know the things in the world, they need to pray extensively through the believers to know.

—Then God knows now.

The condition of praying on a large scale has been fully satisfied, and God suddenly heard the news, which was really unexpected, and it was inevitable that he would be astonished.

At that time, God did not associate the "devil king" in the world with Eddie.Because in his opinion, the human named Eddie had already died at the bottom of the Red Sea.

So, who is it?

Another human being who wanted to die like Eddie appeared.

However, God was a little annoyed for a moment, and he was no longer affected by this incident.

No matter how strong human beings are, they are only human beings. They cannot threaten God, and at most they need to spend a little more effort to solve them.Therefore, God only responded to the believers who prayed to him, established the name of Eric the Devil, and ordered the believers to take the devil and the kingdom of sinners as their mortal enemies, and they must be eliminated one by one.

This was the beginning of a war that took so long.

Papara still had no army, and it was the king's task to resist the enemy.However, Wang asked every citizen to at least learn the ability to protect themselves even if they cannot fight.

"King, please let us fight. Even if our strength is really insignificant, we can still be with you—"

"No need." No matter how many times he was asked, Wang always replied indifferently: "It's just a mob, no matter how many people there are, it doesn't make any difference to me."

"Okay, okay, don't say such things to me again. Don't take it lightly, you don't have to fight with me, but the difficulties that you have to face directly will definitely come."

"...Antasia."

"You have worked hard for so many years."

It was still so understatement, so calm that no trace of anger or guilt should be found, but when the consul who had been patient from the beginning heard the last words from the king's mouth, tears suddenly came out of his eyes. out.

"Please also, don't say such things to me!"

why is she cryingWhy, in such a flat tone, she heard something that made her heart ache?

Papara is a very deformed country.

Even if it develops to the present, the number is still only more than ten thousand.It is an ideal country with freedom of belief, freedom of thought, and everything is free. It could not have been born in this era, let alone survive, and it can continue to this day in the cracks of the times. It all depends on the strength of one person.

If there is no one who is strong enough to ignore the subtle rules and break the precepts like an invisible barrier—he, Papara, will not appear, and the people gathered here today will not even get the happiness and peace of these ten years.

But, as a price.

Because no one can do what only he can do, no one can fight with him.Therefore, he was the only one who stood at the front and resisted the enormous pressure that ordinary people could not imagine.

There was no complaint, no pain, and no even the slightest bit of relaxation. The king just naturally sheltered them behind him, letting the people behind him stare at him.

Among the people staring at the king's figure, there was also Antaxia.

How, how much she wanted to share the huge pressure on her back, even if her back would be crushed for a moment, she was resolute and never regretted it.

But she could only stay in the crowd, silently watching the back of Wang who seemed to be so tall at all times.

Incomparably, incomparably painful.

Even though Wang never showed it, nor did he show a trace of fatigue, but Antaxia could sense that Wang was actually very tired.

"I only hate myself, why am I so weak. If I can be a little stronger, at least a little stronger, it will be more useful, and there will be a value that can be better driven by the king—"

"I told you to stop talking, are you disobedient?"

Antaxia's already weak crying stopped suddenly.

Because, the king who interrupted her smiled, and gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips.

"...I'm sorry, Wang. Once again, I let you see me in such a mess."

"Hey, it means there was another time before? When, why don't I remember."

"This, this, that is - when Mr. Lucas brought me to you, the king... I was so embarrassed. My face must have been ugly at that time."

Wang was silent for a while, as if recalling the scene at that time.

"Oh, remember, you did cry then."

As soon as Antaxia showed a look of shame, she heard Wang's next words.

"No." He said, looking at Antaxia with softer eyes than before, "I only know that you are so dazzling and beautiful who are trying so hard to live."

"It has nothing to do with the skin. The truly dazzling thing is what you have, which is enough to impress my courage."

Bathed in such gentle eyes, the inexplicable uneasiness in Antaxia's heart miraculously dissipated.

Wang patted her head again, there was no ambiguity between a man and a woman in this intimate gesture, only as an elder, he was relieved to see how wonderful the grown-up girl is now.

Antaxia couldn't help showing a little smile.

She thought, O king, thank you.

——However, now I have found something more important than life.

her king.

Papara, protected by the king.

They are all people and things that far exceed her life and allow her to give her all.

The reason for eliminating Antaxia's uneasiness was not only the king's comfort, but also other more important factors.

Antaxia could feel that even if the king was exhausted, he would not abandon them casually.Moreover, under the atmosphere that oppresses people so that they cannot breathe easily, there is a special existence that can make the resolute and stubborn king willing to temporarily relieve the burden and breathe a sigh of relief.

In other words, the most beloved child of the king was also the child raised by the king himself—Jedidia.

Now Antaxia already knew the true identity of "Jedidia", although she was a little surprised, but whether it was Jedidia or Solomon, her attitude towards him would not change in any way.

Even, Antaxia was grateful to Yedidia from the bottom of her heart.

Because of Jedidia's existence, the king, who has always been carrying the heavy burden on Papara's side, can divide his mind a little bit, and use getting along with Jedidiah as a way to relax.At least when he was with Jedidiah, he didn't have to be so tired.

At the same time, the king cared a lot about Jedidiah.

Change the child who has been deprived of human emotions little by little, so that he can get that "heart".

This is what Wang is obsessed with achieving.

Antaxia heard the king say to her many times with great joy that Jedidiah was changing.

What did he learn today, what did he learn after a while, and after that...

The joy I feel from the voice and the flying look cannot be faked.

Both the king and Antaxia hoped that Jedidia would be able to be her true self.They believe that day will come, and they must want to wait for that day to come.

and so……

Even if it is, for "that day".

As long as Jedidiah can continue to advance as the king expects, even if the steps are difficult and the speed is especially slow, it doesn't matter.

No matter how tired the king is, he will not stop.

As long as Jedidiah can hold on.

As long as Jedidiah, don't let him down...

……

……

However, Antaxia would not think of it.

Still disappointed.

Solomon, let her down—and let that man down.

*****

Eddie didn't expect that his expectations and requirements were so low, yet he would still be hit by reality.

In the past 2000 years, only the intense frustration brought about by Enkidu's death can be compared with this disappointment.

Or, this time the disappointment is actually deeper and heavier than the frustration.

Because he believed in "him" too much.He put all his trust, all his anticipation, more patience and love than ever before in this kid.

He thought he had succeeded, and when he thought of this, he could smile lightly no matter how tired he was.

However, the fact is - he was cheated.

The Solomon who grew up and became the king is completely different from the disguise that was so clumsy that he couldn't show his eyes when he was a child. The "self" that he now shows to the outside world has no flaws. In the beginning, the "self" who raised him The men all looked away.

In order to deal with the domestic crisis, Eddie has not come to him for more than two years.

I shouldn't have come today, because the "crisis" happened to be brewing to the extreme, and it was about to explode.

However, after hearing the news that Solomon was going to marry an Egyptian princess, he was surprised at first, then stunned, and finally joy mixed with relief.

"Good boy, why aren't you very good at what to do? Sure enough, you don't need me to teach you, you can learn it by yourself."

The "love" that happened to be left to the end was a feeling that Eddie himself found very difficult. Solomon was able to learn it without a teacher, which really made him feel relieved.Next, it is necessary to prepare congratulatory gifts for the marriage.

Solomon's princess was an Egyptian princess. Although the Egyptian princess was not a descendant of Ozymandias after the dynasty changed, the word Egypt alone was enough to make Eddie quite concerned.

He picked out gifts for a long time before leaving for Israel.And it was just in time, as Solomon's wedding had just started.

Eddie didn't appear in front of Solomon right away, maybe he suddenly became interested. He hid in the crowd, and with a particularly relaxed mood, watched the child he raised——Solomon, who had grown up and had the majesty of a king. grand wedding.

Everything is normal.

Solomon changed, and it changed for the better.

Eddie in the crowd stared at the smiling handsome young man, and suddenly found that the heart-warming smile really entered Solomon's eyes.

When he faced the people who conveyed his respect and congratulations to him, his expression was majestic but lenient.When he held the hand of the Egyptian princess and whispered in the princess's ear, his expression turned into a touching tenderness.

At that moment, Eddie was really happy.

I was so happy that I could bear the religious ceremony held right in front of my eyes, I pretended I didn't see it.He couldn't help smiling, watching Solomon and the princess step down from the altar, about to kiss affectionately in the eyes of everyone.

That is the moment.

Eddie hadn't thought of it.

Solomon probably didn't expect it either.

However, the crowd was obviously so noisy, and their eyes still crossed all the barriers in front of them, intertwined at a certain moment when they were caught off guard.

Eddie's smile still remained on the corners of his lips, but the tenderness on Solomon's face, which was enough to melt the girl's reassurance, froze in an instant.

He had pretended so well.

Except for myself, no one should realize that this young king, who has only been on the throne for two years and has been known for his wisdom and generosity, is just a mechanical shell.

Solomon didn't know how to love. For him, marriage was just a necessary means to strengthen the country and maintain the rule.

Solomon wouldn't be moved by what anyone thought of him, no matter how loud it was.

—with one exception.

The young Wang saw the figure that attracted him so hard to look away from a distance, and for a moment, he stopped moving.

He didn't know what emotion appeared in his heart at this moment, making him unable to move.

Panic...is it panic?This feeling is somewhat similar to the emotion Eric once described to him, but there are differences.

Eric's sight made his empty heart throb.

"Wang... what's wrong?"

The princess' doubtful voice rang in his ears, but Solomon still didn't look at her.

He turned his head, and what he looked at was the direction of the dense crowd.That figure has disappeared, but he is still searching desperately, all false emotions have faded, and he has returned to the original confusion of not knowing where he was wrong.

So I searched for a long time at a loss, but still couldn't find it.

Solomon finally looked away slowly.

Next, he still had to kiss the princess, because that was what he had to do.

Previously, Solomon would not resist this kind of steps that were equivalent to tasks, and even maintained a gentle smile.

But, somehow.

When he leaned over to kiss the princess, it wasn't the girl's sweet lips.

He tilted his head slightly and kissed the corner of her lips.

……

"You missed your appointment, Solomon."

"Promise to move in the direction I want, let me see your progress, and learn the feelings I taught you... As a result, you learned..."

"Still, is there only 'cheat'?"

Solomon's blank expression remained blank.

It's not... It's not because he really doesn't have any psychological ups and downs, but because - he panicked.

He didn't know why the man was so angry.

He didn't know what the suppressed tremor was in the eyes covered by the forehead hair when the man punched his face, causing the throne to collapse into a huge hole.

Yeah, only this man, only Eric.

Only Eric can touch his subtle "feelings", except for Eric, no one else can.

However, at this moment, Solomon learned again.

As if he suddenly experienced the taste of "fear", he raised his hand with a blank expression, and wrapped his hands around the man's waist before the man resisted the punch and seemed to leave angrily.

"Eric..."

"I'm sorry." Solomon hugged him tightly.

What should I say at this time?He couldn't be sure, so he could only subconsciously say: "I was wrong."

"I was wrong. I'm sorry."

Just like that, repeat, repeat.

"sorry Sorry sorry."

However, even so, the voice that came from the top of his head after a long silence still made Solomon's heart throbbing inexplicably, and the pain was even worse than before.

"...I was too naive. Learning how to feel is not as easy as I thought."

"However, you who proved this to me with reality—Jedidia, what are you going to do?"

"You lied to me, it's okay. You lied to everyone around you, it's okay. But, what are you going to do, from now on, continue to live like a puppet like this!"

anger.

unwilling.

It's all included in the question.

Solomon was speechless.

He can actually speak.

Say to men: No, this is not reality.Even if there is only a tiny bit, the object is only limited to you, but it has changed, it has really changed.

He could actually prove it better.

Just using words, just using facial expressions, just using your eyes, you can make a man understand that he has lived up to his expectations.

but.

but……

— Solomon, why don't you speak.

This is a question from the future, from another person, himself long in the future.

— Solomon, why didn't you tell him.

How many times I dream back at midnight, I will think of this day, this scene, which is happening in the silence at this moment.

regret.

pain.

despair.

The emotions that could not be discerned at that time were filled in the heart of a certain person who changed from a heroic spirit to a human after thousands of years.

Oh, it doesn't take that long at all, he can already feel it after many years.

Solomon, who is in the "now" time, cannot hear the question from the future, because of panic and fear, he can't speak.

He couldn't say anything.

I was afraid that I would say something wrong again, or do something wrong, so that the man who was so disappointed in him would not want to look at him at all, and would leave him behind.

Therefore, he did not speak, nor did he tell the man the germs that had grown in his heart.

--hateful……

The mournful cry that uttered in the distant future also echoed in the time and space that no one could hear.

——Obviously, obviously, as long as I say it, I can... keep him.

……

Eddie made a decision.

The extremely cruel decision for anyone made him suddenly feel relieved.The long-lost, complete relaxation has gently surrounded him.

Ah, no... now is not the time.You have to go through the last step.

Accepting the so-called "fate" was unexpectedly easy for him.

He finally understands now that in the stories of later generations, the person who killed the devil Eric was not Solomon.

"--I see."

"It's me."

"Then it's not surprising that such a stupid thing would happen."

He was no longer angry or disappointed, but regained his self-confidence, letting this fiery confidence burn in his chest.

Pulling off the arm tightly around his waist, Eddie's movements were light and slow, as if to reassure the confused child.

enough.

It is enough.

Then he looked at Solomon, whose eyes were locked on him tightly. He didn't let him hug him again, and his eyes fell on the back of Solomon's hand.

"Are these rings a gift from God to you?"

A ring with hidden magic fluctuations appeared on each finger, and black magic lines covered Solomon's arms. This was also what happened when he was not around.

Solomon froze for a moment, then nodded.

"The ancestor of magic, omniscient and omnipotent, eyes that can see through the future..." Eddie muttered silently, and these contents were also slightly mentioned by Merlin.

"Jedidia, can your clairvoyance really see the future?"

Solomon didn't know why the topic suddenly changed here, but no matter how at a loss he felt, he still nodded expressionlessly.

"That's good, you can help me find out...about hundreds of years later, King Arthur's ending."

"it is good."

Solomon told the future he saw, but found that the man listened carefully, but in the end, there was no "joy" on his face.

"Yes, there are more."

Even, the man was still at the end and asked him another strange question.

"What about your own future, can you see it?"

"..."

"I saw it a few days ago."

Solomon replied.

"You already know what happened to Papara."

"……Yes."

The man stared at him for a long time before gently hooking the corners of his mouth.

"very good."

After speaking, the man left.

After that, Solomon did not see him again for a long time.

Solomon is always waiting.

In the end, God gave him strict instructions.

——Send troops to conquer the country of sinners, and kill the demon king, Eric, who bewitches everyone to betray the Lord.

Solomon prepared the army according to the order, issued the letter of war to the kingdom of sinners according to the order, and then set the date for the expedition.

His emotions really didn't grow, let alone fluctuate.

Even if the sinner to conquer is Eric.

Even Eric.

He doesn't panic.

He will not be afraid anymore.

Because, a few days before the wedding, the future he saw through clairvoyance was——

He will die.

It wasn't Eric who died, it was him who was defeated.

That would be great... wait, how did this godless idea come about?

have no idea.However, for the first time, Solomon was so clearly aware of his thoughts.

Before him, Eric had killed several kings who were also believers in God like him.

This time, it was finally his turn.

Solomon was calm.

If it hadn't been for the eve of the war, a black eagle came quietly to his throne under the cover of night and sent a letter written by the enemy king Eric - Solomon would have been able to keep this calm until his death.

However, he received the letter.

Eric wants to see him.

Just tonight, the last night, the last time I saw him.
