Cassius's thin, beautiful lips curved slightly, and a look of doting affection flashed in his gorgeous red eyes.
"I thought to myself, I must protect the Kalmar Empire so that His Highness can grow up without any worries."
His long, slender fingers pinched the girl's chin.
He lifted the girl's fair and beautiful face.
A kiss landed on her petal-like, rosy lips.
"pity……"
The boy sighed softly, his deep eyes filled with darkness.
"When people needed paladins, they risked their lives to defend this continent."
"When the Kalmar Empire was at its peak, supreme glory belonged to the knights of the Temple of Light."
"When true darkness comes, the paladins need the power of light, but they are abandoned by the 'gods'."
And they—
Undeterred, they pressed on, sacrificing their lives to protect this continent.
The soul cannot return to its homeland, and the body is buried in an unknown place.
Their deeds have all become rumors.
Gradually...
No one knows that there were ever paladins in this world anymore.
He once wandered the Western Fantasy Continent, fighting time and again to protect the empire.
How ridiculous and tragic.
A heavy and sorrowful atmosphere permeated the air.
Fu Sang felt a lump in his throat, and tears welled up in his eyes.
I see.
No wonder Pandora couldn't find a paladin back then.
The gods and the empire abandoned them.
so……
He was the only one who survived.
Living a lonely life in this world.
It will not appear again.
They were unwilling to concern themselves with the Kalmar Empire.
She reached out and took the boy's cold hand, then gently kissed it.
"Feel sorry……"
The girl's voice was choked with emotion.
"I'm late."
If only it had appeared sooner.
Tell the paladin—
The gods did not abandon them.
Cassius pulled her into his arms and sighed, "Your Highness."
He reached out his slender, fair fingers and touched the girl's cheek.
Gently wipe away the tears on the girl's face.
"It's not your fault..."
After all the paladins were corrupted by darkness and died.
The friendly elves took in their bodies, allowing their souls to rest in peace.
He also stayed in the elven kingdom, helping them drive away the orcs and knights.
later……
He left the kingdom of the elves.
While wandering this continent, he found a wounded dragon while passing through a village and killed the dark knights.
They also learned that the Kalmar Empire may have been corrupted by darkness.
I heard that the king has died suddenly.
In the end, he couldn't bring himself to ignore it.
After returning to the royal city.
When the Knights of Light returned to the royal city.
I met His Highness, who 'kicked the knight and his warhorse away'.
That confirmed it—she was back.
The young prince he wanted to protect.
I'm back.
Every coincidence is a carefully planned event.
It was only natural for me to stay by her side.
pity……
His Highness.
I had long forgotten him.
"Your Highness."
Cassius embraced the girl's soft body.
He said solemnly, "Please rest assured—"
"I will definitely help you reclaim the empire!"
Fu Sang wiped away his tears and nodded.
I looked up and glanced at the tombstones around me.
"These……"
Cassius's red eyes flickered slightly, and his thin, handsome lips were pressed into a straight line.
"Your Highness."
Fu Sang looked up at the refined young man.
Cassius's tone was solemn.
"You should have seen what's on my shoulder by now."
Fu Sang recalled that day by the river when the boy suddenly collapsed in pain.
Vibrant and intricate patterns appeared on her fair shoulders.
The lifelike patterns resemble blooming evil flowers, beautiful yet alluring and full of danger.
