Standing on the balcony and looking at the city outside, Laftalia was somewhat absent-minded. She never thought that one day she would be standing here, not to mention … when the King was killed.
It had been three days since the end of the battle.
After Fangzheng personally killed Megmalor the 32nd, the other nobles and ministers immediately chose to surrender. After all, Fangzheng had made it clear with his actions that anyone who dared to stand in his way, be it the king or the nobles, would be killed without mercy. The army loyal to the king and the Three Brave Sects had been completely wiped out in the previous battle. Not even their remains were left. The remaining people naturally began to suck up to Sheyan.
Fangzheng had no intention of usurping the throne. He was the master of the Tendo Temple. There were tens of thousands of planets under his rule. A small country like Megmalor was nothing to Fangzheng. Others might think that the throne was very important, but for Fangzheng, it was no better than being an Internet administrator.
At least the Internet administrator could play games anytime and anywhere for free.
Therefore, Fangzheng did nothing but order everything to continue as usual and wait for the queen's return. He just stayed in the palace to preside over the situation. After all, he knew that if he left, the whole palace would be in chaos. Therefore, he might as well wait for the queen to return, and then leave this mess to her. It would not be too late for him to leave.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the boss. You've already defeated a king."
At this moment, a frivolous voice sounded from afar. Laftalia's ears twitched and she turned around to see a red-haired young lady with a single ponytail holding the holy spear with both hands. She sighed as she walked. Beside her was a petite young girl with long black hair and dressed in a black windbreaker.
"I knew Fangzheng didn't call me here for anything good …."
"What's the matter? Isn't saving the world the mission of the Mist Warriors?"
"I know, but he killed a king as soon as he came …."
"Who asked the king to cause trouble for the boss? Serves him right …."
The red-haired young lady with a single ponytail said and looked ahead. When she saw Laftalia, she raised her hand and giggled.
"Yo, isn't this Little Raccoon?"
"Hello, Miss Shana, Miss Xing Zi."
Upon hearing the red-haired young lady's greeting, Lavtalia hurriedly turned around to return the greeting.
That's right, these two people were the Brave of the Sword and the Brave of the Spear that Fangzheng had summoned after he personally executed the two "fake" heroes — Shana and Sakura Akiko.
There was nothing Fangzheng could do about it.
There were very few people who used swords, and even fewer who used spears. Therefore, after much consideration, Fangzheng decided to call Shana and Sakura Akiko over. The former was one of the rare subordinates of Fangzheng who was good with swords, while the latter was a spearman, so there was no need to worry about advancing to Luck E.
After knowing that they were summoned to save a world, Shana and Sakura Akiko did not object. But of course, Shana could not help but complain a little. Sakura, on the other hand, was quite calm. After all, in her world, Fangzheng directly burned down an advanced civilization. In Sakura's opinion, the king of a small medieval country was just so-so.
In fact, if possible, Fangzheng wanted to give the holy sword to Laftalia. Unfortunately, the Four Holy Heroes were people from another world and were part of the core setting, so there was no way to change it. Therefore, Fangzheng could not make Laftalia one of the Four Holy Heroes.
"Do you want some?"
Sakura walked up to Laftalia and handed her a chocolate bar with a smile. Laftalia hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it. Although Sakura had only been here for two days, Laftalia knew that she always brought snacks with her. Even when she went out to level up and fight monsters, she would always have a chocolate bar in her mouth. She had to admit that the delicacies of this world were indeed delicious.
Lifana and Phelo also liked these snacks, and Laftalia was no exception.
"Phew …."
Sakura Akiko was even happier when she saw Laftalia take the chocolate bar. She stood on the balcony and stretched her body against the sunset.
"I didn't expect there to be such a world. I thought it sounded fake when I heard Asuna and the others talk about it … But it's fun this way. It feels like a game!"
"We're not really here to play games," Shana snorted.
Shana snorted, while Apricot giggled and put her hand on Shana's shoulder.
"Heh heh heh, who was the one who said that I'd go back when I reached level 20? What happened? "
"I … I did that to improve my strength!"
Shana's face turned red.
"This world is different from my world. I have to improve my strength and skills to ensure that I can resist the next wave …."
"So you can't play at home anymore? If I didn't pull you along, you'd probably stay up all night …. According to the boss, you're sick and need to be treated …. "
"You're so noisy!!"
While the two of them were fooling around, a figure flashed by, and the next moment, Li Fana jumped down from the roof.
"Laftalia, Sister Apricot, Sister Shana, Master is calling for you."
"Hey, isn't this Kitty? What happened? "
Looking at Lifana, Apricot smiled and greeted her, while Lifana nodded slightly.
"The Queen is back."
"Oh?"
Apricot's eyes lit up and she grabbed Shana's hand.
"Let's go and watch the show. Maybe the boss will fight with the other side again. We should help!"
"Can't you think of something better?"
After grumbling helplessly, Shana was dragged away by Apricot. Laftalia and Lifana hurriedly followed behind and headed towards the guest room.
Fangzheng did not meet him in the throne room. He had killed the king because he was in his way. It was not because he wanted to be king, so there was no need for him to act like a usurper.
"Greetings, Sir Shield Hero."
The Queen entered the guest room with a solemn, cold, and gloomy expression. After all, the idiot King Fangzheng killed was her husband … … Hmm?
With this in mind, Fangzheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and carefully size up the queen in front of him. The queen looked to be in her thirties or forties, while the idiotic king had white hair and looked to be in his sixties or seventies.
An old man with a young wife … … Is there something fishy going on here?
But Fangzheng only thought about it for a moment. The Queen's private life had nothing to do with him, right?
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Fangzheng sat on the sofa and raised his hand to greet the Queen.
"I finally get to see you."
"I've always wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances."
Looking at Fangzheng, Queen Mirelia's expression was complicated. Ever since she received the report, she knew that the situation was far from good. But she still did not expect things to turn out this way.
Not only did the Shield Hero kill Megmalor the 32nd, but he also killed the Pope of the Three Bravery Sect. This shocked almost all the surrounding countries. On the one hand, they were shocked by the Shield Hero's decisiveness. He killed the King without hesitation, leaving no room for negotiation. On the other hand, they were also shocked by the Shield Hero's strength. The Shield Hero fought against the Royal Knights and thousands of believers of the Three Bravery Sect alone and annihilated them in less than ten minutes.
The strength of the Four Holy Heroes was evident.
But for Queen Mirelia, she was in a lot of pain.
No matter what, Megmalor the 32nd was her husband, yet Fangzheng killed him without hesitation. Queen Mirelia would definitely not be happy about it.
But … … what could she do?
"I really don't understand why you must do this."
Queen Mirelia could not help but complain.
"I admit that Megmalor the 32nd did some stupid things, but there should still be room for negotiation between us …."
"There's no point in saying this now, Your Majesty."
Fangzheng waved his hand and interrupted Queen Mirelia's words. He stared at her coldly.
"This matter has been going on for a long time. If you want to change the situation, you should have acted earlier to solve the problem, but you didn't. However, you didn't do so. Since that's the case, I'll use my own method to solve the problem. There's nothing wrong with that. "
"I had something very important to do abroad at the time …."
"That's your choice."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"You've made a choice, so you have to bear the consequences. Since you chose to watch from the sidelines instead of intervening directly, this is the outcome you have to face now. "
"… ….."
Hearing this, Queen Mirelia lowered her head and sighed helplessly.
Just as Fangzheng said, she could have intervened earlier. She could have sent someone to forcibly control the King and then negotiate with Fangzheng. But she did not do so. Now that the situation was set in stone, she could not change it even if she wanted to.
"Since you're back, it's time for me to go."
Fangzheng stood up and said while looking at the silent Queen with her head lowered. Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Queen Mirelia looked at him in surprise.
"Go? Where are you going, Sir Hero? "
"To continue my mission. I came to this world to protect this world and resist the Tide. Based on what I've seen since I was summoned to this world, to be honest, I don't think the high-ranking nobles of this world are worthy of my attention at all. To put it bluntly, even if all of you die, it has nothing to do with me. I might even put a fire fan on the side to fan the flames. But the ordinary people of this world are still worthy of my protection. So, I'm going to investigate and study the Tide to see if I can eliminate it completely. "
Fangzheng paused for a moment.
"The reason why I stayed here was to wait for you. Since you're back, I'll leave this mess to you. It doesn't matter what you want to do, even if you want to avenge that idiot. But let me be frank …. Since you've made a choice, you have to bear the consequences. "
After saying this, Fangzheng turned around and left without looking back.
Behind him, Queen Mirelia sat there without saying a word.
