It's just that she overestimated herself too much. When she faced the crying mother, she actually 'lost control', but now that she calmed down, she also knew that the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, and it is better to stop it completely than to drag it on.

"Lance... If you have to, can you..."

"no problem!"

Before Atalanta finished asking, Lancer agreed immediately. Obviously, Lancer saw no need to hesitate, and Atalanta couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing after being stunned for a moment. .

"Well, if that's the case, then please."

Without saying anything, Atalanta confirmed the matter with a smile, but after Atalanta told her plan, Lancer's expression became a little subtle.

"Ata, are you serious? I don't care. It's a big deal and I just run away, but if you do this, you..."

"It's okay, I've already thought about it, anyway, I will leave with you later, and if I have a chance, I will come back to see each other again."

At this moment, there was no trace of confusion in Atalanta's voice, instead, it was relieved.

Looking at the other party, Lancer finally decided not to persuade the other party anymore. Since the other party has made up his mind, as the other party's companion, all he needs to do is to help her, that's all.

"In that case, let's make big news!"

------

Although Iasos, the king, recognized Atalante's identity after the meeting, and it can even be said that people who have met the queen and Atalanta also recognized this statement, but after all, there was no formal meeting. Therefore, a formal canonization ceremony will be held on the second day.

Atalanta didn't refuse this, but she always had a straight face when facing her 'father', and only smiled a little when talking to her mother. As for the nobles who expressed their congratulations, Ah Tarrant also chose to ignore them, after all, she also didn't like these people.

Maybe it is because she knows the ugly faces of these people that she likes children more?

But after the canonization ceremony was over, Iasos said something that was expected.

"Atalanta, my daughter, I hope you can inherit my throne after my death, and your son will also become the next king!"

There are also queens in this era, but it is obvious that Iasos made the choice to abandon Atalanta back then, which is enough to explain his thoughts.

In the past, Atalanta did not directly refuse because of her mother's soft words and the deliberate closeness shown by Iasos, but chose an ambiguous answer.

But it was different now. Having already experienced this incident, she knew what Iasos was thinking better than anyone else, so her answer was very simple.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

Chapter 25 Let's begin, this fateful war!

Today's canonization ceremony can be said to have twists and turns. No one thought that Iasos would directly designate Atalanta's son as the successor of the next king at the scene of the ceremony.

Regardless of what he did to Atalanta, he is undoubtedly very good as a king. After all, he was able to maintain the stable development of Arcadia without an heir to inherit his throne. And ensuring the recognition of his own people is enough to show his excellence.

And this time, the reason why he directly said these words at the canonization ceremony was actually deliberate, all of this is to make everything an "established fact", and once it becomes an established fact, then he no matter what Whatever method is adopted can at least stand on the foot of righteousness.

And the nobles who were invited all had their eyes widened, especially those who had danced so happily before, and those who were most likely to inherit the throne after Iasos died, their eyes widened. They almost reflexively wanted to stand up and oppose, but at this time they found that the soldiers standing around were staring at them.

Only then did they realize one thing, it seemed that the matter was more serious than they had imagined, and they even had no doubt that once someone jumped out to embarrass the king, he would order the soldiers to shoot without hesitation, after all, no matter what they did before that They all have a basis, that is, the king has no descendants, and it can even be said that what they did was all acquiesced by the other party, but it is different now, once they show the slightest abnormality, then the other party will not hesitate to wave the butcher knife .

What's worse is that their arrangements are not enough because they didn't consider this possibility at all. If they are cut off now, they will be given for nothing.

Even Iasos couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the aggrieved expressions on the faces of the nobles who kept jumping around. It was only a last resort to tolerate their messing around for so many years. Now that he finally had confidence, he There is no need to worry too much.

But no one thought that the biggest turning point in this matter was in Atalanta's body.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

Atalanta, who had replaced her leather armor and only wore a traditional long skirt, looked at Iasos with an extremely resolute expression.

Only then did everyone realize one thing. The one standing in the middle of the palace was not a weak princess who could be manipulated by anyone, but a powerful hunter who had participated in the hunting of Calydonian boars.

Atalante's words suddenly made the atmosphere on the scene weird again, and Iasos' expression became extremely ugly. After all, Atalante's words destroyed his carefully prepared 'plan'.

And Atalanta's mother, Clymene (not the goddess of the ocean), even stood up and tried to persuade Atalanta, but Atalanta did not give the other party a chance to speak.

"I once swore to serve the Goddess of Hunting, Lord Artemis, for the rest of my life. Naturally, it is impossible for me to leave any children, but I will pray to Her Lady Goddess, and let my brother inherit this country."

After finishing speaking, Atalanta stared at his titular father 'Iasos' who was sitting on the throne as if waiting for his answer.

And Iasos, who didn't expect to encounter this situation at all, had an extremely ugly expression. At this time, he even felt that he was being roasted on fire.

Atalanta felt that she had already given the other party enough compensation, but she didn't know that it didn't mean much to Iasos.

In fact, the other party intends to take this opportunity to directly finalize everything. Even if someone regrets afterwards, he can still grasp the righteousness, but if it is like what Atalanta said, then other people have enough time to change everything. After all, even if he really It will take a lot of time for the queen to have children with the queen and grow up.

The stern-faced Iasos gestured to his wife to persuade Atalanta with his eyes. One was because he noticed that the other party was closer to his mother than himself, and the other was because once he spoke, everything would be fine. room for maneuver.

But Atalanta, who saw her mother walking towards her on the other side, also bit her lip.

She originally hoped to be able to persuade the other party directly, so that she didn't need to let Lancer take action, but now it seems that she can only ask the other party.

As the Command Seal trembled, Lancer, who was standing outside the king's city in hideous armor, let out a sharp breath.

"Let's begin, this fateful——war!"

"Roar!!"

The voice became lower and lower until finally it completely turned into a roar that was not like a human voice, and then I saw the dark dragon aura continuously coming out from the gaps in the hideous armor covering Lancer's body.

The dragon aura continued to spread, and the strange sound of scale armor colliding came from the mist from time to time, pointing at the last two spots of scarlet emerging from the mist.

"Whoa~"

The strong wind swept across, and the black mist completely dissipated. The ferocious dragon head with scarlet eyes suddenly protruded, and at the same time, the wings behind it suddenly lifted the huge body off the ground.
