Chapter 84: The King and the Student
Chapter 84: The King and the Student
Why...is His Majesty the King here?
Could it be that they're trying to force me into marriage?!
Loki's expression immediately turned to shock. Edward seemed to understand her shock, and he pursed his lips and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand."
"I didn't kidnap you to get married."
"You don't even... don't you want to take responsibility?!" Luo Qixi suddenly took a few steps back, subconsciously raising the unlit oil lamp on the table in the room.
"What are you thinking about?!" Edward glared at Loki and roared, making her tremble and calm down slightly.
However, there were only a few... because Loki immediately realized that she had been kidnapped! Whatever the king in front of her wanted to do, it was definitely not a good thing!
Loki held up the oil lamp and asked, her eyes warily fixed on Edward, pondering how she could take the king hostage and escape...
But the next second, Loki saw the silent swordsman standing next to the king.
She was a woman with a ponytail, one hand lightly gripping a thin sword at her waist, looking like a formidable opponent.
Hmm... No... If I were to try and take the king hostage, I'd probably be killed the moment I made a move...
Although she didn't know her strength, Loki, who couldn't use magic, didn't want to confront her head-on.
She stared intently at the king and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I'm sorry to use this method... but it's the only option left." Edward shook his head as he spoke. "After all, this method means I'll definitely die afterward."
"Here's the thing," Edward said with a sigh, "I've known Catherine for ten years."
Why did they suddenly start... reminiscing about the past or something?
Under Loki's suspicious gaze, Edward slowly said, "Ten years ago, I was just a second prince who was destined not to inherit the throne... and because of a failed magic experiment, I was inexplicably teleported to the distant Demon Continent."
"That's where I met Catherine," Edward said, his voice tinged with nostalgia and sadness.
"Cidline is a very good person...she is not only beautiful, but also very gentle."
mild?
Are you really talking about a teacher?
Under Loki's increasingly suspicious gaze, Edward suddenly shook his head: "Let me kill her... that's something I could never do."
"Kill...her?" Luo Qixi was stunned for a moment. How did the topic suddenly jump to...killing the teacher?
"Do you know how I became king and how I gained so much support in the country?" Edward asked slowly.
"Damn... teacher?" Luo Qixi pursed her lips and answered tentatively.
Edward shook his head slightly upon hearing this: "Cidline is the principal of La Noah Magic University... although I also hope she can help me become king."
"But she doesn't want to get involved in politics."
"The reason I was able to become king... is very simple." Edward said, looking down at the glowing magic circle on the ground.
"I can see the future."
"See...the future?!" Luo Qixi was stunned for a moment. She looked at Edward, pursed her lips, and subconsciously asked, "You...you're a god?"
“I am not Him.” Edward shook his head. “But as you know… the reason I can see the future is because of Him.”
"He appeared in my dreams...and kept giving me hints about what would happen in the future."
"That's why I gained the support of the nobles, I gained this kingdom, and freed it from the rule of my doomed, incompetent brother." Edward said, blinking. "This also made me understand."
"People are like symbols, corners, and traces in a magic circle... In the magic circle of the world, everyone has their own role."
"Unless you have the ability to transcend this, everything you do should be for the sake of this world."
"What...what does your arrest have to do with the world?" Luo Qixi frowned and said, "You also believe in that world-destroying thing..."
“I have to believe it,” Edward said, pausing for a moment. “If a coin has two sides, one where nothing happens and the other where the world is destroyed… then the best thing to do is not toss it.”
"Miss Rocky Migrudia, your encounter with Cinderella is destined to destroy this world." Edward said seriously and slowly, "So for the sake of this world... one of you must die."
Die...die?
Is this guy insane?! Look at me, I'm just a student! What do you mean by believing I can destroy the world?!
For a moment, Luo Qixi didn't know how to explain... She even began to doubt whether the king in front of her was... whether he was conscious.
Is the ability of a god really just future vision, without anything like charm or hypnosis?
"Cidline is my friend, even if she might kill me after this," Edward said somberly, "but I will never lay a hand on her."
"So, Miss Luo Qixi." He looked at Luo Qixi, his eyes showing no indifference, only pity.
"I'm sorry for this world, for this country."
"Wait...wait a minute!" Luo Qixi felt like this was a final statement before taking action. She pursed her lips and said, "Don't you...don't you need to verify if it's true or not?"
"I'm just a student or something..."
"You're not just a student," Edward said seriously. "You'll fall in love with Cidlin Sylvania, and the whole world will be destroyed because of it."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Luo Qixi felt she absolutely couldn't ignore what this guy had just said.
"I...I...I love...I've fallen in love with my teacher?!" Luo Qixi's face immediately turned red: "This...this is impossible...I only have respect for my teacher...how could I fall in love with...What are you talking about?!"
"At first, I didn't believe it either," Edward said frankly, as if hoping that Roche would answer all the questions before she died. "But in the end... I realized that you were different to Cinderella."
"It wasn't just that one meeting."
"And what happened in the Kingdom of Asura... and what happened at the Lanoa Magic University not long ago..."
"If you're just ordinary food for her to suck blood..."
"She would never have protected you like that..." Edward said, shaking his head as he looked at Loki, whose face was already flushed.
"Alright... that's enough, Miss Loki." He sighed. "Cidlin will be here soon."
"She'll guess that all of this has something to do with me."
"But no matter what... I'm going to do this for the sake of this world." Edward said, looking at the swordsman beside him: "Let's do it."
"Believe me, Miss Loki... you wouldn't want to see what I saw, the whole world was blood red... like an abyss of blood..."
Luo Qixi was no longer in the mood to listen to him, because the swordsman had already stepped forward with his sword raised.
She slightly drew her longsword and pointed it at Luo Qixi without saying a word.
"Hmm..." Luo Qixi only had a lantern in her hand.
I...I feel like I'm going to die again...No...It seems like ever since I met my teacher...
It seems she's always on the verge of death... Luo Qixi was surprised by her own mental state. If it were before, her legs would have gone weak... But to be honest, she actually had the mind to joke around in her mind.
Perhaps it's some kind of desensitization?
As the sword drew closer, Luo Qixi couldn't help but feel a little nervous... but at the same time, she also had a feeling... her teacher... would surely arrive in time, right?
must……
"Bang!"
Before Luo Qixi could even finish her thought, the glass in the room shattered, and a silver-haired figure flew in through the broken glass.
She stood quietly between Loki and the swordsman.
The red eyes blinked at Edward.
"So you've told me everything you know, right, my so-called friend?"
