"I will enjoy wealth and fame for 1,000,000 years.?"

"???"

[no!]

Not only Petos but also Leon couldn't believe their ears at Vulcan's explosive remarks..

Fethos was astonished at having to make this fire-attributed filial son his representative for 1,000,000 years..

"No, Petos. How can you be so surprised??"

[My wife, I am enjoying it for a thousand years and ten thousand years... Are you really going to be my Holy Grail knight for ten thousand years and ten thousand years?!]

"If you want to live young and long, wouldn't it be natural to live as a living saint?."

[this guy! Do you think the Holy Grail Knight is a means to stay young?!]

Despite Fetus's advances, Vulcan responded with an ear-splitting sternness..

"Petos. Where do you think I can find a Holy Grail Knight of War like me??"

[······.]

it was true.

If it weren't for Leon's presence, Vulcan is considered the strongest Holy Grail Knight of all time..

His strength is so unrivaled that Leon didn't think of Vulcan as his successor for no reason..

If a lion's heart is transplanted, a Holy Grail Guardian will be born who can be compared to a demon lord..

[Yes, the problem is that you waste your holy power like that! Without knowing that the storehouse was empty, it spreads its holy power everywhere.!]

"Petos. If I take over the military, I will conquer the world.."

[······!?]

Petos remained silent in response to Vulcan's explosive remarks..

"If I conquer this Earth, won't Fethos' faith spread everywhere? Blame China for being so confused right now! Is it okay if I take it? Can't you hear? The thoughts of war believers!"

Petos: What Vulcan said is plausible? I thought.

"Haha... Petos. don't be persuaded."

[I wasn't persuaded....]

Fetos tries to deny the fact that he was persuaded by Vulcan..

[But isn’t conquest a necessary process? In order to re-establish Lionheart in this land and spread the right faith. No country should follow in the footsteps of the empire..]

"That's right! Lion Turmeric builds and destroys the Lionheart Empire! Please make me the Holy Grail King! Pyongyang here and Taiwan over there are fine! Give it to the villa.!"

[Vulcanus, you just need to shut up.!]

Vulcan shrugs his shoulders and retreats in response to Petos' shouting. Leon subconsciously knew that the gods of the pantheon were in agreement..

"Do other people have the same opinion??"

[Well, let alone the empire, shouldn’t the kingdom be rebuilt? This goddess hopes for the rebuilding of Lionheart once again..]

That's what Leon also thought. As Vulcan mentioned, the current Chinese continent is like an empty land..

It won't be that difficult to take over that place..

"But Lord Vulcan. What does it mean to enjoy wealth and fame for 1,000,000 years? Does the Lord have no intention of ascending to heaven??"

"GRARARA. As a living saint, you have great power and youth, so why rush to the banquet hall? I will enjoy all the pleasures of pleasure in this world.."

"Hmm······."

Leon made an awkward expression. This is because, among the Holy Grail Knights, I have never seen anyone who declared that they would enjoy the wealth and fame of this world even while postponing their ascension..

"I knew that Lord Vulcan had a different temperament from other knights, but I didn't expect him to be this different.."

"Hehe, is that so? I think it's extremely humane.."

"Sutra needs to show more respect for the gods and paradise. How about doing theological education for the first time in a while??"

"······?!"

Vulcan trembled and looked scared at Leon's words..

When Vulcan had just surrendered and served as Leon's squire, he learned many things from Leon..

Among them, theological education was almost at the level of brainwashing, so Vulcan largely escaped the thoughts of evil gods..

"Big, big... theological education. It wasn't even when I was a squire.."

"There is no end to learning. Rather, if you, a saint, show yourself studying despite your status, wouldn't you be an example to others??"

"Okay······."

Vulcan was disgusted and made it clear that he didn't like it. But Leon is unstoppable..

"Then, I understand that you will also be participating in the theological education that will be held starting tomorrow with a collection of articles.."

"Ah, your majesty!"

When Vulcan made a noise, Leon smiled and handed him a drink..

"If you don't like it, there is a way to exempt yourself from theological education.."

"what is it?!"

"Please join me in counseling Jim’s concerns.."

"Hoo······."

Vulcan swallowed Leon's advice in one go, wiped his mouth and asked back..

"so. What is our Majesty the Lion-Hearted King worried about??"

"Jim had been waiting for a long time to go to paradise. It was considered bad for one person to occupy the position of Lionheart King for a long time.."

The fact that there was no time to immediately find Leon's successor also played a role..

Because I wanted to preserve the place until I destroyed the demons and laid the foundation for the rebuilding of Lionheart..

"However, I have a feeling that the gods and many others will not welcome my ascension.."

Vulcan fully understood Leon’s words. Even for him who secretly desires to become the next Lionheart King, it was difficult for him to imagine what would happen after Leon left..

But that is greed. If Leon wants to rest, he can do that. 'Cause he deserves what he deserves.

Even the gods couldn't deny it. But the gods are not loath to lose the greatest Grail keeper in history..

"Your Majesty, why do you want to go to paradise? It's because of the Queen of Castile.?"

"······."

Leon spoke with a wry smile and poured himself a glass. It was a punishment to myself for not being able to answer..

"Well, I understand. Wasn’t it a love so pure that it built a temple on the moon?."

"Is it just him? Gildus, Antok, Gunlar... all of Jim's friends are there.."

Here, Leon is simply the king. The mighty lion-hearted king. Representative of the gods and guardian of the Holy Grail.

Vulcan knew that in that paradise, Leon could be free from all shackles and be a husband and a friend..

"That would be nice. If you go to paradise, you will have a wife and friends.."

"Hehe. Is it because Kyeong is so good at making friends?."

"Well, I lost an arm of a friend I had. After that, I decided not to make any friends.."

"Ah~ then, that······."

Leon thought of a man. When Vulcan was defeated, there was always a man by his side..

A loyal yet ‘evil’ being.

"Well, enough of my story, Your Majesty. Just give this world some affection.."

"I think I'm giving enough affection.?"

"Someone of your Majesty's stature can't have just anyone as a friend. Maybe it's me or Sir Yappy. Otherwise, President Andong-gil is also a good guy.."

Vulcan holds out his glass. braided! A loud sound rang out..

"Please hug the woman too. Doesn’t Goddess Ariana always say this? If she has stayed pure for 200 years, my Castilian sister-in-law will understand.."

Isn't my daughter also keeping an eye on candidates for stepmom? The idea was to create as many descendants of Lionheart as possible..

"I like it because it’s so simple."

"GRARARA. Your Majesty lives a very complicated life. If you're being picky about it, it will develop into depression.."

The two people's nagging echoed until late at night..

* * * *

Home of a party official in Pyongyang.

After Pantheon occupied Pyongyang, several houses were requisitioned and used for welfare purposes, and this is one of those requisitioned houses..

"Phew······."

Beatrice sipped the wine she had roughly taken from the home of a party official who had disappeared and was now unclaimed..

I heard that it is the world's poorest country, but the quality of luxury goods is higher than expected. It's probably a luxury enjoyed by the people's hard work..

"bitter taste······."

Beatrice became intoxicated by the bitter taste of the wine, as if reflecting my feelings..

When she first started following Leon, it was out of gratitude..

Those who became death knights to help and protect themselves as they repeated the past and entered the path of corruption..

Please purify the souls of those loyal knights and enter the path of reincarnation..

Fl, who manages the world of the dead by spreading faith on this Earth, wants to start the cycle of reincarnation again..

She willingly decided to become the priest of dreams and death, and was expected to assist Leon..

He is arrogant, narrow-minded, and authoritarian, but he is noble, just, and honorable..

If criminals felt that way, Beatrice, who was naturally noble, would have been a dazzling person without any disabilities..

"Was it greed??"

I also had some expectations. He said that if it were him, if he had outstanding beauty, strength, and pedigree... he would be a very suitable companion for him..

"Honestly, I'm not okay with that...?"

[Well then. There is nothing lacking in the eyes of the main woman and her goddesses..]

"That's right?"

If anyone had seen it, it would have been a drunkard talking into the air and answering questions, but for the saint who is closest to God, it is everyday communication with God..

[He's such a pretty and talented kid, but that wall window guy······.]

"Wow... is the deceased queen such an amazing person? Even after two hundred years, she is still unforgettable.?"

Fl tried to comfort the drunk priest, but Dina, the moon goddess, giggled..

[He must have had that level of conscientiousness to kidnap the priest of purity and show off in a flash..]

[Moon, please be quiet at times like this..]

Fl covered Dina's mouth..

[Is there anything missing from the main woman’s new gwanjang? Leon Even if that guy looks half as good as Vulcan.]

Ariana got upset and said something..

[How can a dream say such terrible things? The nobleness of my knight is in line with his noble heart..]

Irmin, the goddess of forests and trees, clicked her tongue and spoke to the goddess of light who was busy publishing her articles..

[This wouldn't have happened if Light hadn't stubbornly refused to marry off a high elf from our forest..]

[Why is the forest talking like that now??]

The gods' displeasure poured out at Ariana, who was embarrassed..

[My daughter at the Temple of Lvonia also admired Leon... but the opportunity to convey her feelings was also taken away by the light..]

[Life, even you!]

[Does Light not tolerate polygamy in order to monopolize the authority of the pantheon? I've been curious about that for a long time..]

[How can I blame my knight’s pure love on me? My article simply maintained the idea of ​​monogamy on Earth..]

While the goddesses were bickering, Beatrice whimpered and made her own wine..

At a time when the gods were heatedly discussing Leon's new wedding song, the door opened and the main culprit of the situation was revealed..

"your majesty?"

It was Leon.

"Bice, why are you drinking alone?."

"······Just. Because it is hostile."

[The new director of the dream is openly showing his disappointment. I'm drunk.]

[Write it! let the light be quiet!]

Leon sat next to Beatrice with a slight smile at the goddesses' plan..

"I guess the luggage made you sad.."

Leon seemed to be comforting Beatrice, but he took back the bottle of wine she was trying to pour. When Beatrice gave a puzzled look at this behavior, Leon smiled and said,.

"This is not the time to pour a glass. Let's get out now."

"your majesty?"

At Leon's urging, Beatrice looked dazed and followed Leon. Outside, Stallion was waiting for the two, and Beatrice was led by Leon's hand and climbed onto the saddle..

"Let's go, Stallion.."

As Leon stroked the back of Shinsoo's neck, Stallion began to flap his wings and fly..

"Hold on tight."

As the cold night wind blew, the drunkenness subsided, but Beatrice still seemed at a loss..

"Your Majesty, what's going on??"

"Forgive me first. Bice."

"yes?"

To Beatrice, who looked puzzled, Leon spoke in a quiet voice..

"Jim has been living in duty for a long time. He fought for 200 years, looking only to destroy all the demons that destroyed my kingdom.."

Leon honestly confessed that he had not thought about what happened next..

"If the gate to Earth hadn't been opened, Jim might have collapsed on the spot. Because I didn't know what to do."

But the gate opened and they returned to Earth, and found out that there were demons there too..

Leon was relieved to know this. He said he still had work left to do..

"This fight is not over yet, but after it is over, I think I should ascend to paradise. The more water stagnates, the more it rots.."

"Your Majesty... that won't happen.."

Wasn't he a knight who maintained his nobility and honor while fighting for two hundred years?.

Beatrice couldn't imagine Leon changing..

"Hehe, maybe so. There was another reason too.."

"If it's for another reason······."

"my friends My grateful subjects and soldiers who shared the glory with me until the end. And Castile, whom I have loved all my life.."

"······."

When that name was mentioned, Beatrice pursed her lips. Because she was the name of a woman she could never win, and who she felt like she could even compete with..

"After my duty is over, I feel like going to see them is the end of my journey. Jim is looking forward to laughing and chatting with them at a dinner party someday.."

In the end... are you planning to leave alone like that?.

Beatrice couldn't hide her disappointment and buried her face in Leon's back. He presses his forehead and gives a timid rebuke..

"It opens slowly. look at that."

"???"

At this, her eyes turn to Leon’s fingertips. There was a huge world tree, and countless lights were gathering in each branch..

"That is?"

"They are a forest race. Elves and tree men. I approached Lord Koo Dae-seong and asked him to hurry up.."

It was a world tree so large that it reached the clouds..

Each branch was long enough to span half the city, and as the light gathered on the fruit from each branch, the sight was amazing..

Hundreds of years ago, the wise men of the forest who stayed with the Lionheart King until the end and eventually became extinct..

They did not give up until the end and entrusted the arrangement to Leon..

The Ark Plan and the Last Grail Plan.

They were able to risk everything because they completely trusted Leon..

The history experienced by Leon and the Holy Grail of the Moon obtained by Beatrice from the gate. Their devotion transcended time and space and was forged by Leon's hand, so this must also be a miracle..

"Treemen have a lifespan dozens of times longer than humans. They protect the harmony of nature throughout their lives, but at the end they return everything to the forest and plant new trees.."

That is the seedling of a wise man. The seedlings that Gunlar left behind soon became world trees and are now bearing fruit right before our eyes..

The stopped cycle of life is starting again on this Earth thanks to several miracles..

"Your Majesty... do you want to say that it is natural??"

Beatrice even resented Leon for saying this. In the end, he seems to be saying that his ascension is a natural harmony..

"I guess so. It's definitely natural."

"······."

Beatrice buried her face. But then──

"So, I need time.."

"yes?"

"Should I go against the proper cycle?."

Beatrice blinked as she remembered what it was against. Leon speaks awkwardly, cautiously, as if he is committing a crime, without turning around..

"Just give it some time. I have believed that all my life. Changing your thoughts is not easy to achieve in an instant.."

"your majesty······."

"Can you wait??"

Beatrice hugged Leon's waist and buried her face. The meaning was clearly different from before..

-█▀▀▀▀███▄▄▄▄!!

The resurrection of species embracing the light of life continues here and there in the branches..

knights and soldiers. Everyone mobilized to rebuild the city watched in fascination for a moment..

It was an unforgettable night for everyone..
