Tegula had to be sent to the beheading station in a few hours, so according to the transportation speed of this era, Tegula should be in the imperial capital.

Alicia was unable to find Tegula's location through her own means, so, it was obvious that he was not in the prison that the official was using at the moment.

In this case, you can find it by eliminating it.

The emperor is an ancient city with a history of hundreds of years. Although it has undergone several major renovations, it also has many historical buildings, such as... a dungeon that had been forgotten by people earlier.

These dungeons are usually underground in the city, adjacent to the sewer, and are dark and humid. If ordinary people live for a long time, they will suffer from a lot of diseases. Many people have not yet waited until the day they were released from prison, but died in the dungeon because of this bad environment.

As human rights gradually became valued by people, these dungeons were gradually abandoned and gradually moved to the ground.

However, these dungeons have been preserved, some have been reused, while others have been abandoned and have never been cared for.

Therefore, Tegula could hear the angry condemnation of the people of the imperial capital in his cell.

At this moment, he was still being punished on the cross, with blood storm accumulated under the cross, extremely embarrassed. He had not had any water in the past seven days and had not eaten anything.

It’s not because of his guardianship, but because of his own reasons.

There was still a wanton smile on his face.

His eyes were very calm, deep and blue, just as when he first went to the battlefield when he was fourteen years old, he could still remain calm in the face of countless minced limbs.

Tegula's low voice gradually came from the cell.

"Answer me, Akagulat, is everything you insist on, worth it?"

The object he was questioning at this moment was not someone else, but he was the one who was called the Demon Lord by the world at this moment.

"——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Shadow stood outside the cell, and together with Barus, listening to Tegula's questioning of himself.

The existence in front of me was once the person I hated for half my life.

Even now, he still has anger towards the person in front of him.

This is also the reason why Church would be relieved to hand over this guarding work to him.

But at this moment, listen to Tegula's questioning.

At this moment, the shadow and Barus' heart actually felt a sadness that was unsustainable.

They can fully understand Tegula's mood.

They were also soldiers who guarded Kiddo and the people.

He was also named a hero, but it was exchanged for the fate of his wife and children being massacred.

Although there are some misunderstandings in this, their mood at that time still remembers them deeply...

At this moment, Tegula was at the moment when his belief collapsed...

“What do you believe in?”

At this time, a familiar voice came from the cell, making both of them widen their eyes.

They raised their heads and saw that there was another person standing in the cell at some point.

A black shirt and short black hair.

It is precisely, Xia Ya, who entered this dungeon with a shrinking ground in an inch.

Shadow and Baruschichi looked at each other, and at that moment, both of them understood them.

They covered all the surveillance with something.

Then I remained silent and watched quietly, all this in front of me...

The quiet moonlight shines through the sewer opening into this dungeon.

At this moment, the hero who was tortured on the cross met the "salvation" he had been looking for.

The two just looked at each other quietly without saying anything...

"Or, what are you fighting for?"

Xia Ya continued to ask patiently.

"Is it to protect this kingdom, to end this war, to save the door of people who meet tragic destiny because of the war, or... for glory and worship of the people?"

"Who are you?" Tegula asked.

"The person you've always wanted to find," said Shaya.

Tegula looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, and the description of Noah's appearance that he had asked along the way appeared in his mind.

His pupils trembled slightly, and there was already some guess in his heart.

"Tell me, Tegula."

Xia's black eyes flashed with a faint glimmer.

"Let your heart be revealed before my eyes..."

Guided by the power of the Eye of Horus,

Memories also churned with Tegula's thoughts...

......

Heavy rain was pouring, and the raindrops were swaying on the ground, and the rain was mixed with blood.

Among the pile of corpses, Tegula, with white hair, knelt on the ground. The rain soaked his hair, his clothes, and his body were covered with wounds. He covered the wound of the man lying on the ground in front of him in fear and panic.

In front of him, Sawyer, wearing a double-breasted dress, gasping weakly, dying.

He tried hard to support his consciousness and looked at Tegula.

"Akagulat, maybe Yu's fate is about to end today."

"Don't talk!" Tegula choked, "No, you are the king of Kiddo, the greatest king of Kiddo, and God will protect you."

Sawyer grinned and blood remained along the corners of his mouth.

"God, maybe he has abandoned this world long ago..."

He struggled hard and turned his head and stared at Tegula.

“Akagulat, Yu in the past, was too young and did too radically.

He was full of passion and thought he could change the world, but he ignored some crucial things.

Let you suffer for the so-called sin throughout your life.”

"I never regretted it." Tegula's voice trembled.

But Sawyer shook his head.

"No, I don't mean that...Akagulat, any pure person will kill animals for survival, eat meat and fish, or pick flowers, kill insects, etc., and hate others or hurt others. In fact, no one wants to do such a thing.

If these are all sins, then are human beings committing crimes for survival?”

"You have guarded the country, the people, and the oath, you have held on to what you should hold on to, you have no sin, Akagulat."

Sawyer raised his hand and grabbed Tegula's arm. Blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth. He looked at him with a hot gaze, his tone was weak and excited, as if he was burning his last life and was about to convey his own words.

"No matter what the world says about you, no matter whether the world abandons you...

I trust you! Akagulat, you are a hero, the hero of the empire!

It is Yu's knight! It is Yu, Sawyer Kiddor, the most loyal and powerful knight!

Yu, I recognize you!"

Tegula was already filled with tears, and tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes.

"Stop talking, stop talking, Your Majesty, if you insist on going out, we will definitely be able to go back, and Kiddo will surely welcome hope."

Sawyer smiled and poured out all this out, as if he had fulfilled his last mission in his life.

He grabbed Tegula's hand and gradually put it down, leaving a sentence...

"Take good care... Emilia..."

Then, he completely lost his life...

Tegula knelt on the spot, lowered her head, and let the heavy rain pour down, as if she had lost her soul as Sawyer left...

.....

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Chara's laughter pulled Tegula back from his memories, and he laughed happily and wanted.

He stared at Tegula.

"Isn't this obvious for you? Tegula.

Isn’t the answer always in your heart?

You never want to be a hero, nor are you afraid of any infamy.

All you have implemented from beginning to end is the oath you made in that courtyard!
To be continued...
