Eighth Crown

The thousand-year-old village intends to revive the greatest hero in British history, the Knight King Arthur Pendragon.

In view of this, in that village, the descendants of each family will be transformed with King Arthur as the prototype before and after birth, trying to create a descendant that perfectly replicates King Arthur's body, which will be used as a container for King Arthur's resurrection.

Grey is one of the products of such pursuit and obsession.

If that's all, it's nothing. After all, everyone in their entire village has been transformed, and everyone is the same. No one needs to look down on anyone, and no one needs to feel inferior. It may be difficult for outsiders to understand, but in Inside their village, this is at most an ordinary family, with nothing special.

But taking ten years ago as an opportunity, Grey's body has undergone tremendous changes. The muscles, bones, cheeks, etc., have gradually become the appearance of King Arthur.

For the village that took the revival of King Arthur as its own responsibility, it was a great news that the gods had descended upon the believers.

They regarded Grey as an extremely precious existence, and they regarded her as the Son of God, the Son of God, respected and feared her, expecting her to be the vessel for the resurrection of King Arthur, and pressed the wishes and obsessions of an entire village for thousands of years on her. on the shoulders.

Even her parents no longer regarded her as a daughter, but King Arthur to adore, fear, and alienate.

In all fairness, Liu Xia felt that with Grey's past, even if she rejected the village's expectations, or even turned against the village directly, he thought it was quite normal.

That past must have had a profound impact on Grey. The reason why she is so afraid of life now and doesn't know how to communicate with people is probably because the village's expectations are too heavy.

But Grey didn't.

"I don't hate everyone in the village, nor do I hate this face and the hero of the past."

She didn't turn against the village, and she didn't even have a little bit of rejection. "But she was very scared, afraid that she would no longer be herself, so she was always hesitating and didn't know how to make a decision."

"I hate this kind of me very much. On the one hand, I bear the expectations of everyone in the village. On the other hand, I hesitate to move forward because of fear. Forget the hero of the past."

She doesn't hate the village, nor does she hate King Arthur, she just hates herself who can't make a choice because of fear.

That's why she longed for Liu Xia who was unshakable no matter who she faced. Liu Xia's straightforward and decisive style, a self that would never be shaken no matter what happened, was something she could never have in her life.

"Why don't you resist?"

Liu Xia looked at Grey with inexplicable eyes, "Would you like to be the hero of the past, it should be your freedom? No one can force you."

The reason why Grey developed such self-loathing is probably because she lacks a strong enough self.

To put it rudely, it means that others say what they say.

"I don't want to live up to the expectations of everyone in the village."

Grey was silent, and spoke to Liu Xia in a somewhat self-deprecating tone: "It's not that I have no self-awareness in this regard. I know that my heart is very immature, but I still can't make a decision."

In the final analysis, it is because Grey is too kind.

Didn't she think about resisting the heavy pressure in the village, and didn't think about returning to the past relationship with her parents?

How could it not be, but when she thinks of the expectant eyes of everyone in the village, her determination will be shaken, and when she thinks of the hopeful words of everyone in her, she can no longer say those words of resistance.

"Master came to the village, and when he saw Zaixia, he said bluntly to Zaixia, 'I hate your face very much', and Zaixia was really happy at that time."

A faint smile appeared on Grey's face, as if just that sentence had become her salvation, allowing her to escape from the quagmire she had no choice.

"So later, when the master asked him to leave with him, he agreed... Mr. Liangyi? What's the matter with you?"

After Grey finished talking about her past, she realized that Liu Xia was standing there, her whole body was lost in thought, her face showed a thoughtful look, and her eyes exuded an inexplicable look.

"Really... I don't want to live up to other people's expectations... It turns out to be such a simple thing, why can't I think of it?"

There was a sudden smile on Liu Xia's face, which was extremely light, but it made Grey feel different from his past smile, and there was a kind of bright feeling in it.

Grey tilted her head, and she got up with some unknown reasons. A tuft of dull hair on her head swayed in the wind, making her look naive at the moment.

"No, it's nothing, it's just my personal business, I want to understand something."

Liu Xia shook her head at Grey, without saying anything, but changed the subject, "The magic eye train stopped in front, we can catch up now."

"Eh? Can a Servant even know such a thing?" Grey looked at him in surprise.

"My magic dress is on the train, so I can vaguely feel the distance from the train."

Liu Xia replied: "At this distance, if I catch up with all my strength, I should be able to reach it within three minutes...Gray, with a hug, or with a back?"

"Eh?"

Gray was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, but her face turned red immediately after she reacted, "That... it's fine to use it on the back, hold it or something... it's too shameful."

"I see, come up."

Lucia crouched down and turned her back to Grey.

Grey moved her steps, and although she was extremely embarrassed, she still walked behind him and lay on top of his back.

Liu Xia stood up, picked up Grey's legs with both hands, and could feel the temperature of her skin through the black silk.

Grey buried her head directly on Liu Xia's back, her face was already blushing, she had never had intimate contact with the opposite sex, whether she was hugged by the princess before or carried on her back now, let her Couldn't help but sway.

"Hahaha! Is this about to move your heart, little Grey? I think this kid is a little younger, but he is much stronger than your master. He is a good candidate... Stop, don't shake, don't shake! "

Grey wrapped one hand around Liu Xia's neck, the other hand through the cloak, shaking the bird cage vigorously, making Yade unable to say those strange words.

"boom!"

"Wow!"

Under the short and low roar, Liu Xia carried Grey on his back, and the whole person rushed forward like an arrow from the string. The strong inertia made Grey exclaimed and quickly let go of Yard. , wrapped both hands around Liu Xia's neck.

The two figures soon disappeared.
