Realizing the meaning of Ella's words, Amy quickly retorted: "No, Your Majesty, that is a battlefield..."
"This is also a battlefield, Amy. I am very stupid and I also can't understand the right and wrong of war."
"Your Majesty, I am really guilty..."
"Amy, I forgive you."
Ella hugged Amy, just like Amy hugged Ella that day.
"No, Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Amy shouted and pushed Ella away, "Your Majesty, I have offended all the people of Zealand! If you don't punish me, if you don't kill me,
You will also become the enemy of these people! If you can't step over my corpse, you will never become a qualified king!"
"Amy, do you know? In the Tianfang Empire, people do not admit that the Son of God was killed by our Longinus. They say that the Son of God used his own death to pay for and wash away the sins of mortals -
-If the King of Kings can do this, why can’t I?”
Ella stood up. In front of Amy's eyes, she took off her purple robe and threw it into the fire. The purple robe that she had been wearing, symbolizing her identity, shook in the fire.
After a few times, it slowly turned into ashes.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?
"Amy, to tell you the truth, when I returned to aid Zealand, I chose the one who was more likely to kill you and my subordinates. Because I was a king at that time."
"Your Majesty, that was the right choice. You did the right thing."
"But... Amy, the king, can choose to take off the crown."
Ella slowly helped Amy up from the ground.
"Let's face the people of Zealand together. I will use all my achievements to compensate for your sins. Even if it makes me turn back into that slave, licking food on the ground."
Amy burst into tears.
"Your Majesty... I was wrong... I know I was wrong. I obviously wanted to do your best, but in the end I hurt you like this..."
"It's okay, Amy, it's okay."
While comforting Amy, Ella helped Amy take a few steps forward. Suddenly, she thought of something and seemed to turn around - the beam of light that originally hit Amy was now shining alone.
on the ground.
"And, Amy, remember this - we don't need those ethereal promises after death."
Ella helped Amyra to the square. The people who stayed in Zealand, the troops who returned with Ella, and Alfred all gathered there.
Perhaps because of the corpses in the square, everyone's expressions were not very good-looking.
Ella threw the crowbar on the ground with a cold "dang" sound.
However, just when she was about to kneel down for Amy, the group of people from Zealand ran over first and knelt down in front of Ella!
Ella was startled and asked: "You...what do you want to do?"
Ella's soldiers looked at each other, and then one man held an ax in one hand, grabbed the hair of a boy in the crowd with the other, and dragged him to Ella.
"Shield Girl, this is my son, a coward. Please deal with him."
The boy shouted in pain: "Dad, I... I just want you to go home safely."
However, the man slammed his knee on the boy's head: "You coward! There will never be a place for you in the Hall of Valor!"
Ella took a breath and looked at the crowd - his soldiers came one after another to the people kneeling in Zealand. They were holding axes, and on the ground were their relatives.
Another woman kneeling on the ground begged her husband for mercy: "I... I didn't expect Ivar to fail. I just wanted to save you. Ivar said that as long as you curse this woman... you can survive. I
I just scolded this woman..."
His husband immediately slapped her: "Asshole! This woman? She is a shield maiden! She is a warrior like us! How dare you tarnish the reputation of a warrior?"
Ella panicked: "You guys...what the hell is going on?"
Alfred coughed on the side: "Purple robe, it seems that these people begged for mercy when Ivar entered the city, and in order to survive, they tarnished your reputation. This is difficult to tolerate in the culture of this group of pirates
matter."
All eyes were on Ella.
Ella and Amy never imagined that in the eyes of these northern barbarians, the Sealanders killed by Amy deserved their punishment.
"Your Majesty... how about... we do as the Romans do?"
"Amy...won't your heart hurt?"
"Not at all. Anyway, Your Majesty said you would atone for my sins, so just leave it all to Your Majesty!"
"...Amy!"
While Ella and Amy were arguing, an angry soldier couldn't bear it anymore and picked up an ax to chop off his son's head.
"That's enough! Stop it!" Ella quickly stopped him: "I haven't given the order yet! Back off!"
The soldier trembled: "Ah... I forgot, this really should be solved by the shield girl herself."
He kicked his son, put away his ax and returned to the team.
Ella's eyes swept over the people kneeling on the ground.
"You tarnished my reputation? What did you say?"
No one from Zealand who was kneeling on the ground dared to respond to Ella's words. So, another irritable soldier shouted to his wife: "You dare to do it, can't you do it?"
Several children were so frightened that they cried: "We say: Sister Shield Girl is the king of prostitutes."
Ella's eyebrows twitched:
"King of Prostitutes? Did you really call me 'King of Prostitutes'?"
All the people kneeling on the ground were too frightened to breathe.
——"Thank you. Anyway, you finally regard me as a king."
The unexpected words made people in Zealand raise their heads.
"What are you afraid of? King of prostitutes? Isn't that a good title?"
Ella said generously in front of everyone:
"I am Scipio, the royal family of the Seven Hills Empire. I am the king shared by all my subjects. Not only the king of the nobles, I am also the king of blacksmiths, the king of carpenters, the king of sailors, and the king of farmers... Of course
, and also the king of prostitutes. It is my supreme honor to be able to make these low-class people respect me as their king!"
People looked at each other. Suddenly, a woman fell on the ground and shouted with a trembling voice: "King!"
Inspired by her, people in Zealand started shouting one after another, including women, children, carpenters, and farmers. At first, the sound was only one or two points, and then gradually became a piece, and in the end, it converged into a unified voice.
Powerful Voice:
"king!"
——"faas ru maar (shock roar)."
Aingar's roar suddenly came from outside the city. After a while, Baslik and Fenrir ran into Zealand City like crazy, rushing towards Aila!
Ella screamed in fright, but Baslik and Fenrir bypassed Ella and ran to Amy.
Aine Gale walked slowly from outside the city. Baslik was so frightened that he picked up Amy in his mouth and put him down in front of Aine Gale. Fenrir also hid half of his body behind Amy.
Like a frightened kitten.
Ain Gale said as he walked: "It can naturally attract these two monsters. I didn't expect that there are 'elves' level protectors here."
"The protection of the God of Love...?"
Amy subconsciously touched her face - a piece of skin that was about to be burned peeled off along with her movements.
She quickly ran back to the well again, and what appeared in the water was a face with skin as warm as a baby.
"Amy? Amy? How are you?" Ella rushed over in a panic.
Many birds flew over and landed on Amy's shoulders, chirping.
Amy wiped away tears of joy.
"Your Majesty... thank you. I seem to have re-understood what kind of god Aphrodite is."
