Chapter 94: Chapter 93: Mutiny

In the Royal Cemetery located beneath the palace,

Queen Mei knelt alone before an empty coffin.

She picked up pebble after pebble from the ground, stacking them up, creating a grave marker for the Lion Heart Knight…

From Queen Mei’s perception, four of her five Knights had already fallen, and now the life essence of the axe-wielding man was extremely weak.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t fulfill your wishes,”

After placing the final small stone on top of the pile, Queen Mei stood up and looked around at the other grave markers in the cemetery.

...

All the people she knew had left her one by one, now in this world, the only friends she knew were the axe-wielding man and the Red Knight.

“Your Majesty Mei, we still have a chance,”

The voice of the Red Knight suddenly sounded from behind Queen Mei. She turned around in surprise to look at him, but quickly, Queen Mei hid the worried and astonished expression on her face, leaving only the calm and composed demeanor fitting for a queen.

“Nolan, do you have another plan?” As Queen Mei turned to look at the Red Knight, she suddenly realized that the ground beneath her feet had become like a swampy quagmire.

Small hands made of black mist reached out from the quagmire, grabbing Queen Mei’s legs, trying to drag her into the depths of the mire.

“Nolan, what are you doing?”

Queen Mei realized at that moment that the sudden quagmire beneath her feet originated from the Red Knight; she struggled to maintain her composed expression.

But Queen Mei didn’t show anger, just shock and confusion.

“Betrayal, Your Majesty Mei. Your trust in me is as touching as ever, but also incredibly foolish. You trusted me too much,”

As the Red Knight spoke, the inscriptions in his hands glowed with light. Having drawn new power from the Annihilation Legion, the black hands surged out of the quagmire and clutched Queen Mei’s neck.

Queen Mei felt a suffocating sensation at that moment, the grip on her neck by the black hands was strong, to the extent that she could not even speak.

The last traces of life force left in her were being rapidly drained, and her vision began to blur. In her dimming sight, Queen Mei saw the Red Knight standing in the distance.

The reason she trusted the five Knights and the axe-wielding man so much was that, along with the remaining ministers, they were the only ones in this broken plane she could talk to.

“Don’t worry, if there is a world after death, Sigel and Skorn will be there to accompany you, Your Majesty Mei.” The next words of the Red Knight were a true heartbreak, converting Queen Mei’s sorrow into rage.

When the Red Knight said this, the heart of Queen Mei, which had been engulfed by loneliness and despair… was instantly ignited with an emotion called anger.

Because what the Red Knight had implied to her… was that he had killed the Lion Heart Knight and the Hawkeye Knight!

“Nolan!” Queen Mei conjured a longsword from her own blood, but hardly 0.1 seconds after the longsword formed, it was grasped by countless black hands reaching out from the quagmire, and swiftly devoured completely.

“Your power has already been weakened by the invaders to the point of insignificance. Rather than being killed by those invaders in the end, better to become my sustenance on the journey to another world, Your Majesty Mei.”

The Red Knight slowly walked toward Queen Mei, Queen Mei’s sight gradually engulfed by the darkness, yet faintly among it, she heard the sound of thunder.

A figure in golden armor appeared between Queen Mei and the Red Knight.

“Sigel?” Queen Mei exclaimed in surprise, addressing the name of the Lion Heart Knight, as the golden-armored knight who had suddenly appeared was indeed dressed in the Lion Heart Knight’s armor.

“Impossible… I had already extinguished the Soul Fire within you.”

The Red Knight looked in disbelief at the Lion Heart Knight standing before him, and also at the numbness in his palm caused by the sound of thunder.

At that moment, the Red Knight was truly startled by the sudden appearance of the ‘Lion Heart Knight’, but the next second a crisp and willful girl’s voice came from the armor of the Lion Heart Knight.

“Pighead! Take this!”

Then, under the stunned gaze of the Red Knight and Queen Mei, this majestic Lion Heart Knight lifted her little leg and, with a very feminine motion, pushed a palm straight toward the Red Knight.

The Red Knight was somewhat stunned by this unexpected attack. The ‘Lion Heart Knight’ struck the Red Knight with a palm, and at that moment, the Red Knight felt a great force pushing him back a step, then a Magic Power orb condensed in light collided with the Red Knight.

“You are not Sigel; you are an impostor!”

The Red Knight, feeling the familiar surge of magic from the enemy, instantly understood that the other wasn’t the Lion Heart Knight but one of those impostors.

Moreover, this Lion Heart Knight was only one meter six! The legitimate Lion Heart Knight under the queen’s command was a full two meters tall.

In a rage, the Red Knight released a Crimson Rune Magic Power spear from his hand at the invader, but the opponent deftly dodged with a slide step and, after a slightly willful ‘Idiot’ reprimand, accurately pierced the Red Knight’s abdomen with the Longsword.

The next moment, the Red Knight was flipped over onto the ground by the Longsword.

As the Red Knight fell, he also lost control over Queen Mei, freeing her from the erosion of the dark little hands.

“Don’t be afraid, my Queen! I’ve come to rescue you!”

Upon breaking free, Queen Mei heard this voice and immediately lifted her head to see the Lion Heart Knight standing before her.

“Sigel? No, you’re not…”

Queen Mei instinctively tried to grasp the hand extended to her to stand up, but the next moment six black Magic Power spears pierced through the ‘Lion Heart Knight’s’ body, causing the ‘Lion Heart Knight’ to collapse powerlessly to the ground.

Queen Mei had already faintly guessed that the Lion Heart Knight before her was not the familiar Sigel, but someone else.

But at that moment, Queen Mei could no longer care who she was, sensing her life force weakening rapidly, Queen Mei used her remaining magic to break those Magic Power spears and attempted to heal the ‘Lion Heart Knight’s’ dying life with energy.

“Don’t die!” Queen Mei’s voice was already tinged with a distorted cry.

But it was useless… The ‘Lion Heart Knight’ still turned into particles of light, disappearing into the queen’s hands like sand, leaving only a tombstone in her place.
