It was a long, war-torn era.

The king believed in the magician's prophecy and looked forward to an excellent heir, but the child he gave birth to was not the one the king expected.

The child is not a boy. Even if he has the fate of a king, he cannot inherit the throne if he is not a boy.

The girl was fostered to a retainer and grew up as a knight's child.

Although the king was disappointed, the magician was very satisfied. His gender had nothing to do with becoming a king.

More importantly, the magician believed that the fact that the girl had to leave the castle before the day of prophecy was the real testimony of the king.

In the darkness, Lei Zhe knelt on the ground, his body was covered with black iron chains, and he waited quietly with his eyes closed. I don’t know how long it took, but he suddenly felt that someone was talking to him, very vague and intermittent. What was he talking about...?

Lei Zhe didn't know that he wanted to open his eyes, but found that his eyelids were as heavy as lead and iron. He wanted to move his body, but found that he was bound by some kind of force.

In my mind was the scene of the room burning. The girl whose chest was pierced by a long sword was lying on the bed and looking at her, smiling. Even if she was no longer angry and breathing, she was still so beautiful when she smiled, attracting her own eyes.

Um…

I remembered that the girl was named Nero, a girl like a flame. She was like a burning flame in the darkness that kept luring the moths to approach, and she was one of them.

trade?

Is that really just a simple transaction?

Maybe, right...

Do you really have no idea about this girl?

Maybe, right...

When I saw her leaving this world, why could I laugh, why could I be so calm, why would I... cry...?

My relationship with her is just a deal.

My relationship with her is just a game.

As a result, I lost...

"I said that while you change your destiny, you are also creating a new destiny. Do you understand now? Some things cannot be changed..." Standing in the burning room, Lianhun said to himself, without any emotion or any comfort.

"...I can't change? After all, I still don't have strength! If, if I had strength, the ending would definitely not be like this! I lost this game, but I hope you can tell me how to obtain strength, because I don't want to see such things happen again..." This is my answer, yes, it's true, it's all because I don't have strength. If I have strength, then the girl wouldn't have such an ending. The future can be changed, as long as you have strength!

"You still haven't seen it clearly. Since this is the case, I will give you strength. I want to see if you have the strength to change it. No, it should be said that after you change the fate of others, I am looking forward to it..."

Chainhun, are you looking forward to it? I am looking forward to it too. I look forward to what kind of power you can give me and how powerful it can give me. Can I change my destiny with this power?!

I, looking forward to...

"A person who has been waiting for thousands of years finally appears. Don't you open your eyes to see her? When will you sleep? Thunder..." The originally vague voice became clear. Someone was calling me. Yes, the other party was calling me. Who was it...?

The iron chains on my body kept breaking and disappearing, the power that bound me disappeared, my eyes became no longer heavy, and I opened my eyes.

The dark cave, in this dim world, there are three humans, all of which are very strange...

A handsome young man looked at him with a look full of vigilance. Why did his hand be placed on the hilt of the sword? Are you still afraid that I would do anything?

A slightly fat middle-aged man smiled, smiling very gently and feeling relieved. His black eyes revealed excitement and... expectation...? What are you looking forward to? Stranger, why do I think you are so familiar with...?

In addition to these two people, there was also a baby. The baby was lying on a huge rock, with green eyes looking at him, and his cute face was smiling. He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, as if he wanted to grab himself. The smile on his face was really like the light that attracted moths in the dark...

I stretched out my right hand and I really wanted to touch the baby's cheek and feel his body temperature. However, I am so tired, so tired. I want to sleep for a while, just let it go. I hope that when I open my eyes again, you are still in front of me. Please allow me to hug you at that time, just let me hug you...

No, not right...

When I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly thought of a girl who turned into soil in front of me, a girl who was killed in front of me and was eventually swallowed by flames, and I thought of their smiles and the final outcome.

bright…?

No, I don't need to, don't give me light, please take away this annoying light, please don't attract me, a moth wandering in the darkness!

I don't want to be hurt anymore, nor do I want to see someone hurt because of me again...

As long as there is darkness, that's fine...

Lei Zhe closed his eyes again, and black matter appeared and wrapped around him, solidifying into a black armor. The iron chains that had disappeared and collapsed appeared from the void and wrapped around him again. These iron chains were more than before, and even filled the entire space.

An inexplicable power emerged on him, a strong and huge black castle appeared in this dark world, and iron gates were closed. Lei Zhe was trapped in the deepest part of the castle, with only darkness accompanying him...

"That's good... I... don't need light..." Lei Zhe said in his sleep like a dream.

...

Seeing the iron chains that had disappeared on the Black Knight's body appear again, Merlin frowned and shook his head: "When will you understand? In this blackened world, there are actually many things you yearn for..." Merlin finished speaking, and picked up the baby lying on the huge rock.

He turned to King Yuser and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen everything in the future. Artoria is indeed the prophetic king. She will conquer France and conquer Rome, and she will push Britain to prosperity." Merlin said that he stopped here, but in fact there was still a word in his heart that he had not said.

She may also completely destroy Britain...

"I have always trusted you, Merlin! Since that's the case, she will be Eckert's adopted son from today. You must keep her secret!" King Yuser didn't like this illegitimate daughter from the bottom of his heart. Although Merlin predicted that she would become the king of Britain, he still didn't like it.

Maybe it is because in his eyes, only men can become kings?

"I follow your arrangements, Your Majesty, I will train her to become the greatest king, I promise." Merlin bent down and said to King Yuser.

Afterwards, the two left the cave and the entire space fell into darkness again.

In this darkness, the sound of iron chains colliding occasionally, but no one heard it...
