Chapter 849: Extra (3): The Final Farewell

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Venar died in the end. However, according to convention, there must be someone by the King’s side.

The queen’s position beside the King of Knights had been targeted by many people in the past. However, at that time, Queen Venar was still alive, so naturally, they couldn’t do much…

When Queen Venar was still alive, the King of Knights’ attitude was firm and unshakable. No one could change the King of Knights’ will. Just like in the past, no one could survive under the King of Knights’ sword. It was the same logic.

However, now, Queen Venar was already dead. The mountain that was blocking everyone’s way had disappeared. No matter how persistent the King of Knights was, there was no reason to stop them now.

Perhaps due to the pressure, even the King of Knights’ child, the future heir of the Nardo Kingdom, Prince Kuddo, also spoke up. He took the initiative to suggest that the King of Knights marry a wife instead of guarding the corpse of the dead.

“Do you really think so?” The King of Knights looked at his child in the spacious and gorgeous hall with a faint smile.

His child, who used to be so young, had grown up and become a robust middle-aged man. He had inherited the King of Knights’ appearance very well. Now, he was tall and sturdy and appeared majestic and handsome.

Moreover, he was a very competent prince. In the past, he had faced and handled many troublesome matters by himself. However, under the King of Knights’ gaze, he still lowered his head guiltily, as if he could not face the King of Knights’ gaze directly.

“You can go back.” The King of Knights shook his head, “When did the child who would never lie to me become like this? You don’t really think so. You’re just under the pressure of others, afraid that others will think that I’m not marrying because of your existence and obstruction. That’s why you specially came to me. Go back.”

He waved his hand, and seemed a little disappointed, “Take your things and go back.”

“Father…” The middle-aged prince’s body trembled slightly. Then, facing his father, who seemed younger than him, he could only sigh silently and leave.

As the King of Knights had said, he was aware of the King of Knights’ choice long ago, but it was clear that the outside world had pressured him. That was why he had specially come to persuade the King of Knights.

It was just that this intention was too fake in the King of Knights’ eyes. Did Prince Kuddo hope that his father, the invincible King of Knights, would marry again and even give birth to the children of other queens so that he could have a few younger brothers? He undoubtedly did not want to and would not think so unless his brain was smashed by iron.

His position was still stable, but it might not be the case when the King of Knights’ other sons were born. Due to his Kutu Royal Family bloodline, there was already a great clamor in the Nardo Kingdom, hoping that the King of Knights would marry a wife and select another son as his successor in case of any accidents in the future.

If the King of Knights married a wife with the life span of a great knight, he would probably grow old by the time his younger brother grew up. The life span of a person was fading all the time. At that time, Kuddo was just born and still had a lot of time.

However, decades had passed, and Kuddo’s child had been born. He had turned from a youth to a middle-aged man. Yet his father, the heroic King of Knights, still looked young, heroic, and tall.

Considering the life of a great knight, by the time the King of Knights’ life ended, he would have already died. Or, even if he didn’t die, he would have become an old man.

He felt a little unwilling thinking about it…

Kuddo raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling inexplicable. As a child, he only respected and worshipped his father. From a young age, he adored his father and looked up to him as a role model.

He learned from his father in every aspect, not just his style and actions but also his manners and behaviors. From all the details, one could see his love and adoration for his father.

However, from a political point of view? He was the prince and the future heir to the Nardo Kingdom. He should have enjoyed all the power and inherited everything in the Nardo Kingdom, but he had a god-like heroic father who had never disappointed anyone. Sometimes, even Kuddo himself would think that living under the glory of such a father was both a blessing and a tragedy.

He sighed silently in his heart and left. Yet soon, something unexpected happened. It seemed that when he visited and persuaded the King of Knights, the King of Knights had already seen through his thoughts. If it were an ordinary king, after seeing the true thoughts of his child, he would probably feel angry.

Power could not be shared. This was an invisible rule. Even his children were ordinary. However, the King of Knights was the King of Knights because he was different.

That day, Carey, who lived in his manor, received an order to announce the King of Knights’ order for the prince. By now, Carey had realized and guessed something. Yet, he was wrong in the end.

He originally thought that the King of Knights wanted him to announce it because he wanted to suppress Prince Kuddo and establish his supreme dignity. But, at the same time, he wanted to teach his children a lesson, making them behave themselves.

However, everyone was stunned when the final order was announced, including Kuddo. He was prepared to be suppressed, but his imagined outcome did not happen. Instead, a crown was placed before him.

“Since you’re afraid of losing this crown before your eyes, and you’re also afraid that you won’t be able to seize that power, I’ll give you this.” In the spacious palace, the King of Knights only left these words. Then, he turned around and left, leaving behind a ground of people in shock.

Then, Carey announced the order amid the shock. The great King of Knights stepped down from the throne. From now on, Prince Kuddo would be the new king. The transfer of the old and new kings was completed.

When the order was given, even Kuddo found it hard to believe. He stared blankly at his father’s back. His emotions were complicated. Was it easy? Perhaps it was, but it was mostly shame and sorrow.

He had calculated so many things for the power in his hands, but in the end, the real king did not care about these things. Therefore, the King of Knights was indeed the King of Knights.

The so-called power was a fatal temptation in the hands of others, and it was also something that could not be abandoned no matter what. However, in his eyes, it was just so-so. Since his child wanted it, then he would give it to him.

Carey also looked at his former good friend in astonishment and stood there for a long time. Then, after a long time, he finally smiled and felt relieved. That’s right. This was his former good friend.

In Carey’s impression, his good friend was never a person who would be fascinated by anything. Instead, he loved and protected Venar, not only because she was his family but also because of his oath. He overthrew the Kutu Kingdom and established his own Nardo Kingdom, not to enjoy the pleasure of power but to bring a better life to the world.

Since becoming a king, the King of Knights had never abused his power but only used that power to benefit more people. The King of Knights changed everything in the Nardo Kingdom, and everyone had to thank him for his selfless dedication.

In the past, enslaved people walking on the fields were afraid of being hunted by the lords, and commoners feared facing the nobles. Yet now, perhaps there was still a huge gap between people, but at least the people walking on the land no longer had to worry about their lives.

When traveling in the Nardo Kingdom, there was no need to be afraid of bandits. When commoners hunted outside, there was no need to fear punishment. Even the man-eating beasts were chased away as much as possible.

Even the most desolate and miserable Northland had changed. There was a sincere smile on people’s faces. This was the result of the King of Knights’ hard work.

Before the Nardo Kingdom’s establishment in the past, no one could imagine what this land looked like now. Even Carey, a noble once, felt beautiful and proud when he saw the thriving scene before him. This was the land he had once strived for, and there were traces of his footsteps.

The dripping blood turned into crystals, but they did not disappear. Instead, they remained on this land, forming the current outline. Now, the King of Knights had decided to leave his supreme position.

‘Could the new king do his job well?’ Carey looked at Kuddo before him, and this thought could not help but flash through his mind.

Not only him but everyone else could not help but doubt Kuddo. Fortunately, even though the King of Knights had left, what was left for the new king was a whole and prosperous kingdom with a smooth system and unparalleled prosperity.

This kingdom had reached its peak after decades of hard work by the previous king. Therefore, those who came later did not need to do much to enjoy the result created by their predecessors. Therefore, Kuddo did not need to demonstrate great talent to maintain the Nardo Kingdom’s power.

Nonetheless, Kuddo did not do too badly. After inheriting the throne, he did not do too much, nor did he change the many policies left behind by the previous King of Knights. Instead, he just maintained the original basic national policies. This made many people feel relieved.

The upward trend in the past still existed. The newborn Nardo Kingdom was still moving forward, and its national strength was growing. Moreover, the great King of Knights was about to launch another expedition.

Not long after Prince Kuddo inherited the throne, Carey received another letter from the King of Knights.

Carey was a little surprised when he received the letter because the place where he lived was not far from the King of Knights. If the king wanted to meet, he could have come over any time. So why did he have to use the letter method? Carey was stunned again when he opened the letter.

“Carey, are you going to leave in the end?” After reading the entire letter, Carey’s old face revealed a bitter smile.

The content of the letter was not too long. In general, it was very short. In the letter, the King of Knights briefly told Carey some interesting things that had happened recently. Then, he informed Carey that he was about to leave.

He was not leaving the imperial city but rather leaving the entire Nardo kingdom and embarking on an expedition. He was about to leave, following his former teacher’s path and traveling the entire continent.

Carey could only smile wryly. The King of Knights had been his good friend for many years, so he naturally understood his good friend’s intentions.

He had already known the Knight King’s thoughts many years ago. He wanted to imitate his teacher and travel across the entire continent. The King of Knights had always had an adventurous dream in his heart.

He hoped to travel across the entire world in his lifetime and explore all the unknown things in this world. Carey and Krudo were also by his side and even jokingly said that they would go on an adventure together with him in the future.

However, the King of Knights’ hands and feet were bound because of the newborn Nardo Kingdom. Therefore, he could not leave to explore this world as he wished freely.

However, now, the King of Knights had left the king position. Had he finally decided and prepared to set foot on this path? The King of Knights was about to leave and embarked on a long journey as promised. Yet, what about the person who had agreed previously?

Carey looked at his body. He was very thin because of his injuries when he was young. Now, his entire body was covered in internal injuries.

He could live until now without suffering because he had the help of several knights. Even the King of Knights himself used his life energy to help him recuperate. Yet, even so, this body was still full of injuries, and he was now an old man.

If he was young, Carey would not have hesitated and would abandon everything to follow in the King of Knight’s footsteps.

But now…

With such an aged body, could he follow his good friend and embark on that wonderful and rich journey again? Carey revealed a bitter smile and could only shake his head silently. Then, unknowingly, tears appeared in his eyes. This was the first time he felt the cruelty and helplessness of time.

A few days later, the King of Knights arrived, which caused a sensation among many people. For the people in this area, seeing the great King of Knights was a great honor in itself.

However, compared to the others, Carey was more concerned about the figure standing next to the King of Knights. It was a burly, ordinary-looking middle-aged man. However, he looked resolute, like a weathered warrior. He stood next to the King of Knights like a loyal guard. That was Krudo…

Carey recognized his good friend’s appearance. He used to study with Krudo and the King of Knights in the same academy where they had met. Thus, they were naturally very familiar with each other.
