()——The war is over.

Her last battlefield, the war that divided the country into two, ended with the king's victory.

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

The knight runs.

The war is over, the sunset as red as blood sets, and now the darkness of night dominates the battlefield.

Curses fill the hills where the dead are buried, complaining about taking away the living.

Among them, the knight was running with rapid breathing.

The knight's hand held the horse rope and hung on the injured white horse desperately.

The only ones alive are the knight and the white horse.

And fell on the horse, a king.

"King...! King Arthur, come here——!"

Although he was also wounded, the knight still galloped on the battlefield.

The king whom the knight serves has been captured by death.

Although he defeated the enemy king single-handedly, the king himself was fatally wounded.

That injury was hopeless in the eyes of the knight.

The king they serve is about to die.

"Please wake up...! When we get to that forest, we must...!"

Screaming at the top of his lungs.

——Or, this way the knight can feel the reality.

Their king is immortal.

As long as there is the guidance of the holy sword, the king will not be destroyed.

"Ha-ha, ha, ha, ha--!"

Breathing rapidly, crossing the mountain of corpses, the knight's goal is the forest not stained by blood.

She knew that the king was immortal.

Therefore, she believed that if she crossed this cursed battlefield and reached the place of Qingling, the king's injury would be healed.

No—that’s all I can believe.

Unlike other knights, she believes in her king.

Isolated in the court, shunned by knights, and feared by the people.

She was proud of the young king who had no affair in a poor country and worked tirelessly to realize his ideals.

She is not serving the country.

Because of this king, she handed over her sword, became the strength to move forward, and became the king's guard at a young age.

The king who cannot see his true side.

A young man who has no personal relationships and is fair and private.

Or, he hopes that as long as he becomes a guard, he can see the true side of the king.

She just wanted to see Wang's true side.

I don’t want to see it in the royal city or the battlefield, but I want to see the real smile of human beings.

Appears in the court when freed from the responsibilities of the king.

No matter how perfect the king is, he cannot disguise himself anytime and anywhere.

However, that idea is wrong.

All she knew was the opposite of what she expected.

Become a guard and protect the king's side.

He was even closer than the other knights and kept watching R Chang's actions.

Even so, it never happened once.

Her king never smiled once.

"Ha-ha, ha, ha, ha--!"

When do you feel angry because of this?

A king who has accomplished such great deeds should be in glory.

In fact, no one saw a gentle expression even once.

Can't forgive.

I want to believe that there is no such thing.

Because of this, one day - I hope the king's face will shine.

Not yet achieved.

The king is still lonely.

Therefore, the knight refused the king's death.

It can't end here.

In this case, wouldn't this great king receive no reward?

"King, please stay here now. I will call the soldiers here immediately!"

In the forest, the knight leaned the king's body against the big tree.

Not a second too late.

It only takes half a day to get to the port if your own army can run faster with horses.

But whether Wang can survive until dawn tomorrow, anyone with eyes can see through it.

But even so——

"Please endure until then. We will definitely bring the troops here."

After bowing to the unconscious king, the knight ran towards the white horse.

"——Bedivere"

before that.

The king, who was probably unconscious, called the knight's name.

"King!? Are you awake...!?"

"...Well, I had a little dream."

Hazy voice.

However, that voice was very——very warm in the knight's ears.

"A dream...?"

Like a questioning voice.

Wang's consciousness is not yet complete.

If you don't answer this question, will you fall into darkness again?

"Well. I have never seen it before. A valuable experience."

"...Really? Please rest carefully. I will bring the soldiers here during this time."

"————"

Take a breath.

I don't know what's strange about the knight's words.

"...King? If you have any courtesy...?"

"——No. I'm just surprised by what you said. Are dreams something you can see even after you wake up? They're not different dreams. As long as you close your eyes, you'll see the same thing...?"

This time the knight was surprised.

After sorting it out, she realized that it was a false answer.

"————Yes. If you have strong longing, you will also see the same dream. I also have the same experience."

There is no such thing.

A dream is something that only happens once.

Even so the knight lied.
