Chapter 43
The Broken Love of the King
After a big misunderstanding, finally, Sangtis was kicked out by Rigel to face this disaster. The wicked bastard in nude with his three fake friends came to the front of Ragnes' room to apologise. But when Ragnes saw them, he was deeply disgusted and extremely annoyed. He couldn't bear to kick his real husband's breast, threw him out, then slammed the door shut!
All of them saw the condition of Sangtis, now he was as a rotten tomato that was trampled until it was flat. Lauriet felt a little guilty, while Caberus and Sidel didn't.
However, there was something painful in Caberus and Sidel's hearts. They knew they did something that was the worst. They still had some morality, even if it was too low, but still existed.
"He's still angry right now, but he'll be better tomorrow. I've been friends with that guy since childhood. He's not mad at you for long!" Caberas said as an old friend rather than an adulterer. He knew Ragnes' character quite well. His cute little nymph wasn't a naughty little boy!
"His Majesty is a generous person. He won't take long to be angry with you. Come, drink a little, and take a little courage to ask for forgiveness again. We're going to be your friends." Sidel hurriedly offered consolation. Seeing such a sad person, in his heart, he couldn't help but feel pity.
"Don't think too much. His Majesty will never be so angry with you, he'll forgive too, I assure you." His dear friend, Lauriet consoled again.
In this situation, they all helped each other to comfort as if people were in the same boat. This was a true friendship that grew from the mud.
However, the next morning, the four of them didn't have time to apologise to Ragnes. Because Lauriana was reported that there were some changes at the legendary King's memorial. She, as the future queen, had to rush to check.
Surely, she was not only person who wanted to survey, Ragnes and the others, they also wanted to go with her. Lauriana herself was not a fool. Having seen their power yesterday, she knew that there was a secret behind this situation, therefore she allowed them to go together without caring the objection of her subordinates.
"I don't know what you guys are playing. But if it's for the sake of this world, let's play whatever you want," she said to her younger brother as she looked at Lauriet with much gentler eyes. "Or if you want to have two wives, two children and two extramarital affairs, I'll think I just have a bad dream. Oh, I've already washed my eyes with saline last night," those teasing words made Laurier laugh.
"You've changed quite a bit. I thought you were going to kill me," Lauriet smiled at his sister.
Lauriana, in his memory, was a serious and always obedient daughter to her father. But since yesterday when they met. He already knew that it wasn't just him. She also had changed.
If it was her in the past, she would never accept him. They would never eat together, and she wouldn't welcome him to her place. Lauriana, who had obeyed her father blindly, now changed.
"I'm the one who will be the next queen. If I listened to my father's words without further consideration, how can I protect Britain? Now, I think that to kick you away is the great loss of this country," she said.
At that moment, the two stood facing each other. They both stared at each other and smiled lightly, understanding each other. Even though they can't be as close as normal brothers and sisters, but there was no hatred.
After that, they all travelled to the crime scene.
For the legendary King's memorial, it was the memorial built to commemorate the founding king of the country, his name was King Arthur! As for the king's majestic sorcerer, he was Merlin! Two people who formed the foundation of Britain to become the great country of the North.
British legend told that story. But Demetriet shared another piece of information as he walked around the scene between Caberus, Sidel, and Ophirus.
"In true legend, the wizard Merlin fell in love with Prince Arthur. And that was why he was the backup for Arthur to become king." Demetriat said flatly, causing Ophirus to furrow his brows, grumbling in his mind again. This was a strange tale lacking morals. "I'm going to say, in fact, they were not just the king and the sorcerer, but uh... lover. Let's use this word."
This fact made the listeners look disgusted.
"So what about Queen Guinevere? Wasn't she the King's wife? Like this, the person who had an affair was him not her," Ophirus asked, but when he asked, the other also had an answer that destroyed morality.
"To cover up the humiliation between the king and the bed-warming wizard, so Arthur agreed to marry Guinevere. But it appeared that his knight, Sir Lancelot, betrayed him in another affair with the queen."
"How shameless, all of them" Ophirus couldn't help but criticize.
"I agree with you," Demetriat replied.
In fact, Arthur and Merlin fell deeply in love with each other and had a forbidden relationship. But to remove the gossip, King Arthur then married Queen Guinevere.
But destiny was so cruel, she couldn't bear her situation. Finally, the queen turned to had an affair with Sir Lancelot, Arthur's favorite knight. It was the love that led to the collapse of the kingdom in the early days of Britain.
A legendary king who was revered by the people. In fact, he was a guy who had shunned the guilt and gave his sin to his wife and his knight instead. He was the legendary Great, and the other two. They became a wicked woman and an eternal traitor.
The fact that four people who should be most sincere to each other could not be. This ultimately led to tragedy and death.
"Love has always been the cause of the collapse of the kingdom," remarked Sidel, who stood. No matter what era, matters of the heart and the country always went together.
Love, greed, anger, infatuation, they were the chain that connected everyone.
"King Arthur is too sensitive. If he accepted his heart and dared to declare his love to Merlin. No one would regret in this legend," said Sidel.
Yes, if Arthur had the courage, he wouldn't have to hide his relationship with the Wizard Merlin. He didn't have to deceive Guinevere, and not causing Lancelot to betray him. It all started because of cowardice.
"But there is someone who is too strong. And...too brave," Caberas couldn't help but stop. As he looked at Ragnes standing with Sangtis and Lauriet. "He doesn't care about his reputation. Even in past, present or the future, he doesn't care at all."
The person he was referring to was the Demon King of Wetonia, who was known as completely shameless. Everyone didn't forget that when Ragnes planned to kill his ex-husband, Kiros. He at that time had a heart for Sangtis and agreed to become a lover. But he still chose to throw away his own heart, and married someone he didn't love. He deceived Kiros in order to win his own political game.
Unlike Arthur, Ragnes didn't choose to hide his love, but he chose to express himself. Killing Kiros and marrying Sangtis as husband and wife openly. It was known all over the land what scandal Ragnes had caused. But he not only did not deny it, but also accepted it with great joy, accepting even having to be branded as a shameless nymph.
Arthur was known as the Great King of Britain who was betrayed by his queen, even though he himself betrayed her first. Instead, the guilt fell on Guinevere and Lancelot. At this point, Ragnes was braver than him.
"That's not something to compare with. For His Majesty, at that time, there was just no choice," Demetriet said sadly. He looked up at Caberus disapproving of this conclusion. "Before that His Majesty didn't want to deceive that Kiros, neither thought of marrying him. If he wasn't squeezed until there was no place to stand, who would want to be branded as the bad guy in the history?"
"That's because you guys took his side," Caberus retorted.
"That's right, but if it wasn't us standing next to His Majesty at that time, who would stand beside him, is it you? King of Santana." This Demitriot's question also made Caberus silent.
Because in that time, he himself was not standing beside Ragnes. Santana at that time was one country that was attacked by Kafka's allies. They had secretly been in contact with the new Kiros' government. But in the end, the treaty failed because Ragnes rebelled.
Thinking back now, Caberus had the greatest doubt why didn't he stand beside Ragnes at that time?
The person who stood next to his little nymph to the end in faith… was Sangtis.
It was that guy.
Back to the issue of monuments, at this moment, an important monument appeared a huge black hole, causing people to panic. Lauriana had already blocked the black hole. But this hole was even more bizarre. It was endlessly deep, seemingly connected to hell. Despite trying to use magic to explore the depths, it was impossible to estimate.
Sangtis looked at the pit with a very uncomfortable feeling. This was very similar to the black hole that Satan had emerged in the city, but that hole, when Satan was defeated, disappeared, but this hole was different.
Satan never showed up. It was a tangible phenomenon. Completely different from the old stuff.
"I feel bad. There is something very bad in this hole." Sangtis said, however, he was a light mage. The divine light energy in his body was overwhelming. In the presence of such great darkness, he felt completely uncomfortable and frustrated.
"I feel it too. This was a very powerful dark force. It was so dark that it would almost consume everything." Lauriet would surely feel the power. But this power was not naturally dark. It is the darkness of humility and evil.
The fact that the two of them had such a common opinion was an omen that this was not a good thing.
Ragnes stood there looking solemnly. Satan's invasion had arrived. But there were only two of the five great arms that appeared on the earth. If they couldn't be collected soon when a huge attack arrived, then, what would they have against the Satan King? That evil King who had been looking to resurrect for thousands of years.
The Longinus Spear and the Poseidon Trident were not enough to be their strength. They still wanted power. Until now, it seemed as though it was the arms that had chosen the right time to appear in person. It was not them who found, but to be found.
Ragnes looked up at the statues of King Arthur and the Wizard Merlin. Statues of two people side by side, even different legends, but the only one truth that could not be changed was that Merlin was Arthur's only wizard. And he was the person who Arthur trusted the most in his life.
"Hey, if you guys know where the Great Arms are, don't keep it a secret. Hurry up and tell me," Ragnes said.
While talking, Lauriana and someone were walking towards them. The man had golden hair and green eyes. The gloomy face was wrinkled. Fury adorned him from head to toe. This was the aura of a spoiled, disrespectful old man.
"How you dare back to Britain!" The man yelled to Lauriet immediately. But Lauriana stood there preventing him from hurting her younger brother. "You destroyed the pride of my family! How good is it for me to drive you away without killing you! How dare you come back again?!"
This person was Duke Lewis, a former British military commander. The father of Lauriet and Lauriana. And he was the one who disgusted his son and drove him out of the house.
This morning, Lauriana informed her parents that her brother was coming home to visit. Her mother wept with joy, wanting to see her son, but when her father heard that, he became angry until his face bled. Even if Loria was trying to stop him from seeing Lauriet right now, Duke Lewis was still dogmatic.
His ten-year hatred anger was like a raging flame that had not yet burned.
"Sorry, father. Haven't seen you in a long time. You still look fine." Lauriet smiled as he spoke without a hint of emotion.
He remembered this person. He remembered the bitterness of having to leave the house and be labeled heretic. But it was ten years ago, he could say that he had completely changed. Even if he was scolded again, he would not be offended.
"How dare you talk with me! People as you, deserve to die! I'd have killed you at the time of birth!" He continued to yell in frustration. The brain was full of prejudice.
At this time the son returned home and Satan invaded Britain. The queen was sick. There was also an unfortunate black hole here. He blamed everything for this bastard's fault.
"Sorry I didn't die, Father, but I didn't come back because of trouble between us. I only came back out of concern for the fate of the earth. When the errands are finished, I'll leave. You don't have to worry," he said calmly. Sangtis and Ragnes couldn't help but feel a sharp pain for him.
This was the child that the father didn't really want. In addition to being kicked out of the house, even after ten years had passed, he still could not change his father's mind. In the eyes of this father, this son wasn't a child after his own heart.
Lauriet didn't do anything wrong, it was just...not after his father's heart.
"Son like you, have you ever done something to please me! Just being born is wrong!"
The words pierced the hearts of the two other people standing there. For both of them, a sentence like this was very familiar.
"No!"
It appeared that the person who yelled out was Ragnes. Because he was too, he was a nymph who was born in such a wrong place. He was very angry to hear these words from Lauriet's father's mouth.
Ragnes had been listening to these words all his life. He was a nymph, a child of a mere human. He was everything that shouldn't be in the Demon Realm. Even now, many conservative people branded him as a rebel who took the throne from a true blood demon. Why was there so much injustice in this world?
Wherever in this world, there was separation between people.
"Lauriet is not bastard! Not someone that no one wants! He's mine! He belongs to all of us! The one who has no eyesight is you and the British!" Ragnes declared angrily, causing Lauriana to freeze.
But Lauriet's father looked at him head to toe. He seemed to have learned something from Lauriana and looked at Ragnes very seriously.
"You're just a nymph, aren't you? A nymph like you thinks that you married my son, then you can raise your social status? Bastard! You're a bastard couple! Deserve to each other!"
WHOOSH!
At that moment, who would have thought that Sangtis, who had been trying to stay calm, punched his fake father-in-law in the face? He was furious, really angry at this person's words.
The man who cursed his wife and best friend!
"A bastard like you're the most disgusting! Lauriet didn't punch you, but I did! Such an evil, immoral guy! How can you call yourself a noble! You're only garbage! The British are really fake!" Sangtis was furious. For him who had been unwanted all his life, he would fully understand the feelings of Lauriet and Ragnes.
But instead of making Lauriet punch his father as a filial son. He was better off punching this old man himself!
Of course, Lewis was furious, pointing and cursing, even calling someone to arrest them. But Lauriana stood still and didn't follow. She felt so pity for the event in front of her. Her father was furious, and irrational. Because he's such a person like this, the family could not be a family.
Even though she would be the queen, her own family was unable to make peace at all. This was also a wound in her heart that could not be healed for a lifetime.
But at that time, the earth trembled violently. That black hole emitted some intangible power, but great darkness. At that moment, Lauriet slammed his staff to the ground, immediately spreading a magic barrier against this impure power, but something moved swiftly at them.
"Oh, we meet again. I didn't think that when I came here, I'll be able to see you again, my prince." A familiar voice said.
Over the sky of Britain at this time, a huge swarm of flying Satan suddenly appeared. As for the leader, who could it be?
Kiros!
"Hey, you still come back from hell!" Ragnes scolded, while Kiros saw Ragnes's extremely irritated face. He was both very excited and frustrated at the same time.
"I've to come back. My wife is on earth. Can't I come back? Just look at you, it's been a while, but you not pregnant yet? It seems that you chose the wrong husband. My prince." Kiros was able to insult him. Sangtis trembled. This must have been his problem with Ragnes for ten years.
Between them, no one was barre, no health problems, but Ragnes was unable to conceive. Regardless of the method, as if it was... a curse.
"Okay, but today I didn't come because of you, my dear prince. I come to…destroy the two great arms here!"
Two?
Kiros immediately ordered Satan to attack the legendary King's Monument. Lauriana ordered soldiers to fight Satan. Ragnes released the Fire Fang Seal.
Ready to face the satanic army!
