Chapter 848: Extra (2): The King of Knights’ Promise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Carey, you’re here…”

A gentle voice sounded from the side. Carey looked up.

In front of him, the King of Knights was looking at him. More than ten years had passed. The current King of Knights was just like Carey. He was also in his early fifties.

Being in his fifties was already considered old age to an ordinary person. If it were an ordinary mortal, he would probably be old by now, looking like an old man.

However, the King of Knights still looked very young. He was handsome and had delicate skin. He did not look like an old man at all. Instead, he looked like a young man.

One could not find any signs of old age on his body. Instead, he was filled with a heroic temperament. He was exceptionally strong. There was a kind of spirit in him that made people feel awe-inspiring.

The King of Knights was like two generations compared to Venar, who was already old and looked like an ordinary old man.

But who would have thought? The King of Knights was a few years older than Princess Venar. There was such a gap and performance partly because of her illness and the King of Knights himself.

The current King of Knights was already a real great knight. The King of Knights’ age was not considered old for a great knight. He was still in the prime of his life.

In normal times, he looked heroic and vigorous, not showing any signs of old age. However, at this moment, the King of Knights had deep fatigue on his face, which made people feel a little heartache when they saw him.

Looking at his good friend’s appearance, Carey wanted to say something, but in the end, he kept quiet.

He did not need to ask the people around him too much. Looking at the King of Knights’ appearance, he knew that the King of Knights had suffered much for the past few years.

While the King of Knights was trying his best to heal Princess Venar and maintain her life, he still had to deal with many domestic affairs simultaneously.

For the King of Knights, this was a daily routine. Other than a few times, there was not a day where he would slack off.

Carey was extremely impressed with this attitude, but it was not something he could mimic. To do all this, not only did he need a firm and dedicated heart, but he also needed other qualities.

How could he do this if he did not have strong self-control?

Therefore, Carey could only sigh and express his admiration for this.

“Kling, rest for a while.”

Looking at his good friend, he said in a low voice, “Her Highness the princess… is hopeless…”

“We both know that you can’t save her…”

He looked at the King of Knights and said seriously, “You can’t go on like this.

“This country can’t live without you. You’ve used your life energy to maintain the life of the princess. At this rate, you would only sacrifice your own life.”

The life energy that the King of Knights could consume was not unlimited. His life energy was originally a kind of power that was squeezed from all parts of the body.

Under normal circumstances, even if a knight had awakened the seed of life, it would still cause damage to his body if he consumed too much of his life energy.

This was why many knights were much stronger than mortals, but their vitality might still be weaker than mortals. Although a great knight was much stronger than a knight, the essence of life energy would not change.

At this moment, the life energy the King of Knights consumed was his own life.

Was there any meaning in sacrificing his own life to save a person who could not be saved? Even for an ordinary person, this question was worth weighing. Not to mention, the one who made this decision was a supreme king.

“Kling, forgive me for being blunt…”

Carey could not help but say, “I’m already old. I don’t mind, even if you blame me. I’ll say what others don’t dare to say right now.

“What’s the point of sacrificing your own life to save Princess Venar, even if you succeed?

“Is it worth exchanging the life of the King of Knights for the life of a dying woman?”

Carey pointed at the unconscious Venar and said with some heartache, “Let Venar end here. Dying here would be a good ending for her.”

That’s right. At this point, what use did Venar have?

If Venar had been the last direct descendant of the Kutu Royal Family when the Koto Kingdom was still around, she might have had a role in stabilizing the hearts of the people.

But now, the Nardo Kingdom had been established for many years, and the position and rule of the King of Knights had long been stabilized.

Under such circumstances, what use could Venar have? The last bit of value in her body had long been completely used. Now, she was only left with an old body. What use could she have?

“Carey, you’re being rude.”

Carey took a deep breath and then said bluntly, “Even if Princess Venar dies here now, it won’t cause any impact.

“Princess Venar has enjoyed enough things in her life, and she’s been lucky enough.

“If we continue to let her live, it might be more of a form of torture than help.

“Kling, you should continue to look forward.”

He opened his mouth and said with a serious and serious expression, “Kling, you’re still young. You’re a great knight, and you’re different from us.

“I’ve long advised you to marry as many wives as possible. It’s still too risky to only have Prince Kutu…”

“What if Prince Kutu caught Princess Venar’s illness? Have you thought about what will happen to the Nardo Kingdom?”

He spoke seriously.

When the King of Knights had just become the king, someone persuaded him to replace Princess Venar. Even if he didn’t replace Princess Venar, he should have more women and children.

This was the only way to be safe. This was because the Kutu Royal Family had a serious genetic disease. Not only Venar but also her sister and father were the same. They would fall ill into a coma when they reached a certain age.

To put it bluntly, the Kutu Kingdom was in chaos due to the Kutu Royal Family bloodline disease. The lesson of the past was right in front of them.

Therefore, including Carey and the others, they were worried that the tragedy of the Kutu Royal Family would happen again. After all, all the children of the King of Knights were Princess Venar’s offspring. They also inherited the Kutu Royal Family bloodline. The probability of them inheriting that terrible disease was very high.

Carey and Krudo had persuaded the King of Knights more than once. It was not that they did not understand the relationship between the King of Knights and Princess Venar, nor did they intend to sow discord, but they had to persuade him for the kingdom.

Unlike the corrupted Kutu Kingdom in the past, the Nardo Kingdom was built by the King of Knights and through hard work. They would never allow anyone to destroy the results of their life’s struggle, so they could not tolerate any hidden dangers.

And at this moment, the bloodline in Venar was a huge hidden danger in their eyes.

In the past, these persuasions were completely suppressed by the King of Knights. But now, with Princess Venar’s illness, similar remarks were everywhere, and they could no longer hold back.

After finishing his words, even with Carey’s position, he could not help but feel a little nervous at this moment. Because what he said just now was too dangerous, it could be charged with alienating the royal family.

Even if the King of Knights in front of him would be angry because of this, right?

“Don’t be nervous, Carey.”

As if he could see the nervousness in Carey’s heart, the King of Knights smiled and then said softly, “I know, I know all of it.

“I naturally understand what you are worried about.”

“But, so what?”

He shook his head, then muttered to himself, “If a person wants to achieve a great thing, he must be single-minded and do his best to achieve it. But if he wants to destroy a thing, he can find thousands of legitimate reasons for himself.

“I know the reasons you mentioned. I know all of them.

“I know these reasons are legitimate, reasonable, and should be done.

“But…”

At this point, the King of Knights suddenly paused, smiled, and said, “I once heard a story…

“Many existences have existed since ancient times in this world, and many have always happened in this land. It seems that it has always been like this.

“For example, the mortals in this world will always have to kneel before the noble. The people who are high and mighty stay high and mighty, and the low peasants stay low. Everything has always been like this as if it is going to last forever…

“Is it right just because it’s always been like this?”

The King of Knights turned around and asked Carey, “I don’t think this is right.

“If the rules passed down in the past are all set and correct, then why are we standing here? Where did this huge Nardo Kingdom?

“It’s always been like this. This is not a legitimate reason.

“And now, I also want to continue asking…”

The King of Knights’ voice was hoarse as he said softly, “There is one thing. He has thousands of legitimate reasons. Countless people can explain it and interpret a thousand legitimate reasons that must be so…

“But even if there are so many legitimate reasons and benefits, should we do it?”

“Shouldn’t we?”

Carey was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said.

“I don’t know.”

Unexpectedly, the King of Knights shook his head in the face of Carey’s voice. “But I understand that I shouldn’t do this as a husband and a father.

“From a practical point of view, I shouldn’t save Venar because it’s almost impossible to save her…

“From a profit point of view, I shouldn’t save Venar because she has long lost her value and isn’t worth a king sacrificing his own life…

“From the big picture, I shouldn’t save Venar. I should follow your suggestion and marry a few more wives, in case there are hidden dangers in the future of the Nardo Kingdom…

“But… Even if there are so many reasons, are there some things I shouldn’t do, right?”

The King of Knights raised his head and suddenly questioned, “As a husband, do I have to marry another wife before my wife dies and personally tear apart the oath I made back then?

“As a relative, do I have to personally push my relative into the Abyss when there is still hope for her to survive, just for myself?

“As a father, do I have to betray my child’s trust and choose another successor when he is still so qualified and working so hard, smashing all his past efforts into pieces, just for the sake of the big picture and hidden danger situation?

“If that’s the case, please forgive me for being unable to do it.”

Standing in the same place, the King of Knights’ handsome face was full of fatigue, but there was also a kind of persistence that made everyone feel proud.

“Venar is still sleeping…”

He looked at Venar beside him. “The disease is terrible, but Venar has not given up hope yet. She is still fighting, so how can I disappoint her?

“I am a king, a knight, and a good friend of yours. But at the same time, I am also a husband and a father.

“Venar has not given up hope yet, so how can I give up on her behalf?”

The setting sun fell on the spacious and gorgeous palace, casting a long shadow on the King of Knights’ strong body.

Carey stood in the same place, listening to the King of Knights’ obviously weak but still powerful and determined voice. At this moment, he could not help but be stunned.

Then, he suddenly smiled bitterly. The king was still the same, and the knight was still the same.

As a knight, the King of Knights had never given up his goals and principles, nor had he given up his firm will and belief. However, Carey had started to change and become afraid. If he had been in the past, he probably would not have tried to persuade the King of Knights.

No, perhaps he would still have. After all, he was never a firm person, nor was he a person who valued those things.

There had always been only one King of Knights, and it was not an existence that others could emulate. After knowing the King of Knights’ will, Carey did not say anything. He just sighed silently and then left.

The King of Knights stood quietly, watching his good friend leave. Neither he nor Cary realized that Venar’s body had moved.

An invisible spirit stood on the wall in the distance, staring blankly at the King of Knights standing in front of her. She wanted to do something, to tell the King of Knights something, but she could not do it.

There were tears in the corners of Venar’s eyes, but they quickly dried up and were not noticed by anyone.

The time that followed soon passed. After that meeting, Carey never persuaded the King of Knights anymore. No one could persuade the King of Knights to change his mind.

Because this was the King of Knights, as long as he made a decision, he would never be able to change it.

However, in the next few years, Venar still died. On the day she died, the atmosphere of the entire capital seemed to have changed. Carey could feel that many people were secretly happy and scheming.

Cary knew what they were thinking. The wife of the King of Knights had passed away, and it was customary for a king to have a queen by his side.
