King's Landing

——The sunset glow seems to burn out the blood.

After Leticia defeated the Demon King and returned to her hometown, she was greeted not by triumphant music or praise, but by the screams and wailing of comrades.

"Huh...huh...!"

The comrades who returned together have died.If it weren't for her subordinates to stand up and protect, Leticia might also be the resentful spirit of this land forever.Everything is so unexpected.

"Why...why... it becomes like this...!"

Leticia ran desperately with her left foot that had been burnt red and black.Until yesterday, the bustling commercial and industrial areas were full of comrades wailing and struggling.

"What about Carla...what about the knight commander... where are my father, mother, and sister—"

"—Oh, those people are probably dead."

Suddenly stopped.The person who made such unlucky remarks was a woman she had never seen in the affiliated city.

Leticia stared at the owner of the voice with a gaze filled with disgust.

"You bastard......!!!"

"Oh, wait a minute! In order to avoid misunderstandings, I have to declare in advance that I am not the principal culprit, and I am not an accomplice."

The woman who seems to have been squinting her eyes raised her index finger and spoke with ease.

Wearing clothes that Leticia has never seen before, the woman sitting on the side is beautiful, but she is too ordinary to be an ordinary human woman. At least Leticia has not sensed any strong in her body. breath.

But since she can come here, what should she know?

"...Say it! This is your purpose, right?"

"Of course. Because this is the work of "Xinglejia" Storyteller). If it is now, I can tell you about this tragic scene where 20,000 comrades are struggling in pain, from inner thoughts to dark history. Oh."

"...Is what you said just now true?"

With red eyes vibrating non-stop, Leticia suppressed the pain in her heart and said calmly.

Seeing Leticia's changes, "Hang Jia Le" dropped his shoulders in disappointment and sighed

"Of course. There is only one way for me to wait for the vampire-"Hakakiri knight" to die in just a few minutes...!"

Leticia's bright red eyes were bloodshot, and she glared at the sinking sun.

——A large urban curtain of the box garden that can block the sun's rays.This is an institution set up for a race that cannot survive in the sun, even if it is said to be built specifically for vampires.The big curtain that was supposed to cover the "sunshine", the biggest weakness for vampires, and convey warm grace, is now opened by someone's hand.

"However, in order to open the big curtain, the sovereignty of the sun should be needed-one of the "Zodiac Sign" or "Equator Twelve Stars"! What exactly are the sovereigns of the sun thinking to make this behavior... !"

Leticia barked her teeth and roared.It is precisely because of the large curtain that can block the sun that vampires bleed to protect the order of Hakata City.As a result, now, those sovereigns trampled and destroyed all of this...!

"——It was a vampire who started it."

"Wh...?"

Leticia, who thought she had heard it wrong, was surprised.

"So, it's a vampire. Didn't you hear? In order to reward the active performance of the vampires, the thirteenth zodiac sign should be set up. For some vampires, this is a long-awaited wish? It can be mastered. Torturing their own magic star sovereignty for a long time, I don’t know if this kind of opportunity can happen once in a lifetime. No wonder they will go down the road of killing comrades."

"———!"

Because of shock and speechless, just holding on to this purpose.The vampire actually went to open the curtain in order to kill the vampire. If such a thing were done... even the attacker would be in danger.

Not to mention that just a few points of openness is not enough to eradicate the royal family or pure blood——

"Huh? Oh, that's it. You got the order wrong."

"...?"

"Look over there."

The woman still shrugged with an elusive attitude and pointed to the highest point of the castle.

Leticia looked in the direction the woman was pointing, and she looked at it!At the top of the white-bottomed castle, the top of the towering spire is hung with clothes belonging to my sister, mother, father... relatives. As for the wall below, there are only dark black traces like burnt objects——

"That's your family."

"————!!?"

"Because pure-blooded vampires are not that easy to die. So they were nailed and then pierced into the heart! Finally, the sun was used for cremation. It was really careful! The guys in the affiliated city are so unlucky to be implicated! They must even dream of dreams. I never thought that it was just to kill pure blood-and it was just for the royal family to open the curtain!"

"Xinglejia" happily hugged his belly and laughed.

Her body and lips kept trembling, Leticia knelt on the ground with a soft knee, bowing her head weakly.The sun burn that soaked through her left foot gradually eroded her body, and combined with the grief in her heart, it turned into bone pain.

Obviously fighting as a guardian of order so far, he can finally have leisure and happiness, but--

"That's right! The rebels fervently expressed that they will take down your head after the sun goes down. After all, if you don't get your head, you won't be able to get the thirteenth zodiac sign. It seems that it has been by sunset. There is not much time left. You should almost think about your future way out? Whether you want to rebuild the community or escape from here, it is your freedom."

"..."

Leticia stood up swayingly, dragging her left foot and staggering towards the target, the vampire base, moving her broken body.

"Hey! What else do you want to do with this body?"

"...Anyway, this body eroded by the sun's rays can't last long."

"That's not the case. As long as you accept proper treatment, you can still be saved... So, let's negotiate! Do you want to join my community "Grimm.Grimoire"——"

"I reject."

Leticia took out a black gun at a speed like a flash, and held it against the neck of the "Xinglejia".

This is not like a dying person's penetration and speed. Although the woman was impressed, she still responded with a leisurely attitude.

"But ah~ look at this injury, even if you go to meet the rebels, you can't solve many people. Your partner died in the sunshine just now? Or do you think it doesn't matter if you die in vain?"

"..."

Even so, Leticia still marched towards the castle.

"...I don't know who the rebels are, but as a country...No, as the leader of the community, I have an obligation to confront the enemy under that banner and save the remaining people."

With this faith, Leticia moved again.

In response, "Xinglejia" could only drop his shoulders in disappointment and shouted in a helpless voice.

"Oh...Hey! "Dragon Knight"! If I just want to kill the rebels, I have a way!"

Stopped and turned around, "Xinglejia" had already threw a sealed document to her.

"I am a "Xinglejia"-also known as a game creator. Well, it's a kind of poet. The "Contract Document" has already planned a game that can use your "host authority" to the limit. The rules. As long as the game is held based on that content, you, Leticia De Crea, can become the devil without involving unrelated communities."

"You...what stupid things are you saying! You actually want me to wait for the vampire to become the devil! Absolutely absurd! Even if this body will eventually be wiped out, I will carry out the glory of my waiting!"

"Huh...I'm just a little girl who doesn't know anything about the world, and I want to hold on to the Spring and Autumn Dream!"

This rant made Leticia cringe.

"I actually advocate defending the things that cannot be protected and helping those who cannot be saved! Oh, oh, this is really a wonderful and funny clown act! Your Royal Highness! Because it is too noble, I really want to cry and feel sick. !"

"What..."

"You just said you want to protect the glory of the family? Then move your rigid mind to think about it! If you lose to the rebels in this war, the things that the vampires have painstakingly built...what will happen? Those guys His goal is only the sovereignty of the sun and the status of "all-powerful dominator"! It means that the order and peace that you vampires want to leave behind, nothing will be left at all!"

"This……!"

"As a result, you want to die in order to complete revenge that is nothing more than self-satisfaction! And you even tell the grand-sounding lies like "for others"! Ah, ah, I can’t play. I can’t play. To the extreme! In this way, I who came to you out of good intentions do not seem to be the biggest idiot!"

As if disappointed, "Xinglejia" sighed and shook his head.

"...You choose, if you are willing to become the demon king and kill all the rebels, you can make up for it. At least you can leave the "Class Dominator" system behind... It's just that, Leticia Decree The name Ya must bear all the charges."

With blood and tears staring at "Xinglejia", Leticia shook her hands and opened the file for dozens of seconds.

"You can let the rebels taste all the tragic experiences your family has suffered, and not only once or twice, but semi-permanent repeated executions! Since the content is so vicious, I think it should also make you vent your grievances?"

"..."

"If you whip the corpse enough, and someday you finally want to let the game end, you just have to ask someone to crack the game. If you find someone who can crack the game, just tell the other party like this! Call him "attack the first Thirteen suns!"

After saying this, the woman turned her back to Leticia.

"However, before that, I have to make it clear. To become a demon king must bear the destiny that one day will be destroyed. The person responsible for the destruction may be a hero or a god. But this is against the movement of the stars. The fate of people who are destined to face. So, Leticia De Crea. If you can make up your mind to give up everything—"

——Become the devil who kills comrades.

The woman finished the sentence softly as if she was talking about love, and then disappeared without a trace.

I stared blankly at the comrades who had died in the sun, at the hometown-town dotted with blood and debris, and at the resentment that lingered in the entire space.Leticia raised her head and roared at the sky.

"——You bastards... don't even qualify for death...!!!"

Leticia, who vowed to kill all her enemies, accepted the mark of the devil.
