" Oh Mariana," Zarulu said," I'm not chasing tyranny, but the lies that strip the world.”
"Lie?"
Charululu: " This process requires me to obtain the world. I swore to rid the world of lies, but this is the only promise I can make to you, Mariana. I will never let others see my heart, along with that endless emptiness, buried deep in my heart.”
"If this is His Majesty's true heart!"”
"Yes!"
" Mariana," he said." I'm willing to become His Majesty's weapon." His Majesty's oath, as well as the power to achieve his goal, the path to conquer the world, and the army that was powerful enough.”
" This will make you the evilest sinner in history, Mariana. Your children and grandchildren will bear the crime of assisting the tyrant's descendant of the witch.”
Mariana: " I already have the awareness above that. What do people call me now? Did you know?"
"Flash, haha, it sounds like a good name, but flash will only burn people's eyes. Moreover, your light is definitely not the Holy Light!”
"That's the Scattering Essence of Blood. Until now, I have never wielded my sword for anyone else.”
"Even the Emperor who protects me is the same. That's why I need you. Let's rule the world together, Mariana.”
Mariana: " Even if it costs my life.”
Therefore, he already knew at that time.
One day, this lord would spread his wings and fly high, standing at the top of the world, holding the Scythe of Death high, and using the entire world as his enemy. However, the source of this power was the blood and tears he had shed when he was young, as well as the oath he had made with his biological brother.
And now, she and CC were included in this oath.
For the sake of that oath, for the " utopia " that did not exist in this world, Mariana decided to move forward with them. As an accomplice, there was only one thing she could do, and that was to use the sword in her hand to cut down all the obstacles in their way.
"Bismarck!"
Mariana straightened her body. Her bright back looked extremely intimidating and powerful.
"Yes, Lady Mariana!"
Bismarck instantly stood up, placed his right fist across his left chest, and lowered his head in agreement.
"Tomorrow, I will fight with the army. However, before that, I will give them one last trial to light the last spark for the revival of the Knights of the Round Table in the future!”
"I thank you on behalf of His Majesty. Lady Mariana!"
She had two children, one of whom was a newborn daughter. As a mother, she was leaving her child to go to the battlefield. This great and selfless sacrifice made Bismarck full of respect for Mariana.
Looking up at the sky through the tall skylight, the sky was already dyed red by the setting sun. Dusk covered the entire land, giving the entire garden a hazy feeling, as if it was in a fairytale world.
In the northwest corner of the spacious garden, in the training ground that was incompatible with the surrounding environment, under the artificial lighting that was different from the daytime, three girls gathered here again and gradually stood up, waiting for the arrival of the lord.
"May I know why Lady Mariana is looking for us?”
Looking at the red sky outside the skylight, Britania's second princess, Cornelia LI Britania, muttered to herself. She had already changed into a new uniform. After being replenished by Lelouch during the day, the disappointment of her defeat had completely disappeared from her body. A feeling of protecting someone important filled her heart, making her energetic and energetic.
"He suddenly summoned us at this time and even asked us to gather here!”
Bertolis also replied in disbelief. Her brain was the most agile among the three girls, so she could clearly sense something unusual.
"I feel that the atmosphere here is a little different from usual after the meeting with the First Knight.”
The two of them looked very serious. They were depressed, solemn, and a little nervous. The girl's unique intuition told them that all these changes had something to do with the Neirou that Queen Mariana and General Bismarck talked about during the day.
Nonette also nodded.
Then what was it?
The three of them lowered their heads and fell into deep thought. This afternoon, when they were about to part ways, Mariana suddenly stopped them and asked them to wait for her at the training ground when the sun set. Then, he left with a mysterious smile. At the same time, the First Knight, Bismarck, who gave them one last meaningful glance, also left.
At this moment, the door of the training ground opened, and a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar woman walked in.
"Sorry for the long wait."
Mariana walked in with her usual light voice and a completely different outfit. She was wearing the Knight of the Round Table uniform and a pink cloak. This was proof that only twelve people in Britania were allowed to wear the Emperor's Sword. Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and her movements were swift and decisive. Mariana, who was dressed in military attire, emitted a sharp and cold aura that was completely different from usual.
The air in the training ground seemed to have turned heavy because of Mariana, who had returned to her true form. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, her pink cloak fluttered in the wind, making Mariana look like a goddess of war who had walked out of a myth.
"Lady Mariana, you…"
Cornelia was dumbfounded.
Mariana glanced at her clothes, as if it was the first time she had noticed it. She replied casually,"
"Please don't mind it. It's just a matter of mood.”
Mood?
Nonette and Bertolis also looked at Mariana, who was wearing the uniform unique to the Knights of the Round Table. This was the first time they had seen Mariana in the uniform of the Knights of the Round Table, except from the photos. For a moment, her performance was even worse than that of Cornelia.
"In order to find your original self! In order to embark on a new journey! This attitude is necessary!"
Mariana said as she approached the three of them. She walked to the front of Cornelia who was standing in the middle and lowered her head slightly.
"I'm sorry, Cornelia,"
"Eh?"
"I'm really sorry. From now on, I won't be able to practice with you for the time being.”
Mariana said apologetically. She straightened her body again and slowly moved her feet to the wooden sword that was placed in the corner of the training ground.
"That, that, Lady Mariana!”
Corelia, who was completely overwhelmed by Mariana's powerful aura, was at a loss. If the Emperor's aura was as vast as the mountains and the sea, then Mariana's aura was like an unsheathed sword. It was sharp, and blood splattered everywhere. The strong fighting spirit almost dyed the surrounding air into a battlefield.
"But…"
Mariana didn't respond to Cornelia, who spoke again. She stroked her wooden sword and said,"
"In this way, you will all have regrets in your hearts, right? So even if you haven't passed, let me be your opponent in a one-on-one fight for the last time! Let's fight seriously."
Mariana, who was holding a wooden sword, turned around. At this moment, Cornelia, no, even Nonette and Bertolis exclaimed.
His gaze was focused on the sword in Mariana's hand. No, this was an extremely ordinary sword. The problem was that she did not only hold one, but one in each hand.
Dual swords!
It was rumored that only the former Knight of the First Round Table, who had rebelled five years ago, had truly seen the dazzling Mariana use both swords, and the price was his life. A two-handed sword. This was the original posture of the shining Mariana, the posture of the Empire's strongest Knight of the Round Table.
However, this was actually the first time the three of them had seen such a thing. At least, during the time that Mariana had been practicing with them, she had never used two swords. In front of Mariana, who wielded two swords, the only person in the country who could last for a minute was the strongest knight in Britania, the First Knight Bismarck. However, he would definitely lose within three minutes.
The Knights of the Round Table, who had truly surpassed the human race, had descended again after five years! As for the opponents, they were three young girls who had not graduated from the officer academy and were only twelve or thirteen years old.
"I won't show mercy."
Mariana muttered as she returned to the three of them with her swords in hand. His face was calm and his tone was calm, but the pressure he gave off was ten times or even a hundred times more than before.
"The things that support you, the world that you are aiming for, I will let you all experience it. Please remember it with your body! So…fight, knights. The sword doesn't need to be gentle!”
Mariana stopped and raised her sword. The posture of an imperial concubine. He had never seen such a sharp gaze in his training so far.
"Please take out the courage to fight to the death. Otherwise, even if you have a few more limbs, it won't be enough.”
The three of them swallowed their saliva at the same time. Just a few words and a few actions had dealt a blow to the courage that the three of them had painstakingly burned up under Lelouch's provocation.
Do you really want to fight? He was going all out against the strongest Knight of the Round Table of the Empire, the Valkyrie who surpassed humans.
The three girls looked at each other and nodded. As knights, they shouldn't be timid. They might be immature and immature, but their willpower, spirit, and determination would never lose to anyone else.
For that person, they would swing the swords in their hands, even if the opponent was their teacher, the strongest knight in the Empire, Mariana VI Bunitania.
