Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty?"

Remedios didn’t know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and subconsciously lowered his body.

“I’ve already told you not to call me Your Highness, just call me Karko.” Karko supported Remedios, who was about to squat, and said, “We are more like friends now than guardian knights.”

"Can't friends call each other by their names?"

"Of course, but..."

“That’s it!” Karko interrupted Remedios’s hesitation and took him to the bedroom. “Don’t tell me you don’t consider me a friend.”

"Of course I consider Your Highness a friend." Remedios explained hastily, not noticing that he was being embraced by Karko at the moment, and subconsciously walked towards the bedroom.

"That's right. In private from now on, don't call me Your Highness or Your Highness anymore. Just call me Karl directly."

For a moment, Remedios was unable to resist and had no choice but to surrender.

"Ka...Karlko."

"Very good, then let's do the second step of friends tonight!"

"Second step?"

"Yes, you stay with me tonight and I will teach you some interesting things!"

"Eh?!"

Interesting thing, what is that?

Remedios looked at Karko, who was smiling so gently, but at this moment her whole body's instincts were sending out warnings.

"No...No, Your Highness!"

Remedios subconsciously wanted to resist, but unfortunately he was unable to escape from Calco's grasp.

With a bang, the door closed.

The girl's voice was cut off, and only Karko's evil laughter echoed in the room.

The next morning, Kuirat arrived at the area where Karko lived as promised with the books, and quickly arrived at the guest living room under the guidance of the maid.

The warm sunlight shines into the house through the painted glass windows. On the white sandalwood table is placed the black tea that the maid has just brewed.

However, there was a hint of strangeness hidden in Kuirat's kind smile at this moment.

Logically speaking, my sister should have woken up by now, so why can't I see her?

As for whether he didn't come to greet him after waking up, Kuirat simply dismissed the idea.

Although her sister was a little reckless, at least as an elder sister she loved her very much.

So Kuirat guessed that his sister must have been delayed by something else or overslept.

If it's the latter, that would be very interesting.

A smile appeared on Kuirat's lips. She really wanted to know why her sister overslept.

Just as all kinds of speculations were popping up in Kuirat's mind.

Suddenly, the door opened and a figure rushed into the living room like a cat.

He turned around with a look of having survived a disaster, leaning against the door.

There seemed to be a hint of blush and shyness on her face.

Seeing this scene, Kuirat's smile gradually faded, and her beautiful little nose twitched slightly.

It's the smell of a kitten.

A stealing kitten!

Chapter 43: Someone’s needed, Lao Deng!

Afterwards, inside the house.

Remedios helplessly told his sister what happened last night.

Karl pulled her into the bedroom and gave her a hard beating.

For a moment, after listening to this description, Kuirat looked at his sister calmly, with his dark eyebrows slightly raised, looking like a robot expressing doubts.

"practice?"

"Yes, His Highness found a skill from somewhere and insisted on teaching me how to practice it last night."

“That skill is difficult, but it is very practical.”

Remedios stretched out her hand as she spoke, and Kuirat looked over and could vaguely see that the air around her sister's fingers seemed to change, and then there seemed to be a layer of light flickering on it.

Kuirat couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

"This is....."

"This is a technique called Magic Aura."

Remedios explained with a serious expression.

But Kuirat could see that his sister was not so serious because of the importance of the topic, but rather it was a performance to control the magic energy and concentrate.

Finally, the continuously flowing glimmer was fixed, as if a thin film of emitting glimmer was tightly attached to the fingertips.

Someone who doesn't know the meaning might mistake it for sunlight shining on their fingers.

After a long moment, Remedios seemed to lose control of himself and suddenly exhaled, while the light on his fingers disappeared.

"Unfortunately, I don't have the same great talent as your Highness. Now I can only grasp the general idea."

Remedios said with regret.

Although she was very shy after being abducted last night, she was very serious when studying.

The Paladin's most famous skill, Holy Strike, is to infuse divine power into the weapon, so that the moment the opponent touches the weapon, it will explode and cause great damage to the opponent.

After learning the techniques of magic aura, she can control the aura radiated by the holy power unique to the paladin in her body and cause continuous damage to the opponent.

It is equivalent to attacking the opponent with weakening holy strikes all the time.

Of course, she can't do it now, but with a little practice she will be able to do it in the future.

This magical aura inspired by the Paladin was named the Divine Aura by His Highness Karko last night. In addition to having a certain damage ability, it also has some weak recovery ability.

The effect...

I guess I just made up for the loss from staying up late last night.

It would be better if it is accompanied by massage techniques.

Remedios's face turned red as he thought of this.

In fact, Karko did not force Remedios to stay last night. His previous actions were more like a joke. He just asked Remedios to help him with the spiritual energy and massage he had just learned this morning.

During this time, someone would occasionally let loose with his shouts and chat, which made the simple knight blush.

So after completing the task, he fled in a hurry and came to see his sister.

Compared to Remedios who was blushing at this moment, Quilat had a thoughtful look on his face.

Magical aura. She might not have been familiar with this thing before. At most, she could only guess from its effects that it was probably a secret skill of the royal family.

Just like the Holy King left behind biographies to preserve knowledge, although other people at the time had no chance to see them, because of this habit of the first Holy King, some knowledge was also passed down to a certain extent.

This is why most of the nobles in the Holy Kingdom were able to retain magical knowledge before the second level.

The Custodio family is a family that has been passed down since the founding of the Holy Kingdom. Their family biography once mentioned a special skill that the Holy King once possessed.

Of course, since we have already said that it was before, then there must have been changes now.

Not long ago, the Holy King selected a group of outstanding priests from the army to form a small team of sixty people, apparently to study a special skill.

Most of these sixty people came from relatively wealthy civilian merchants. They studied at the temple's church academy to become priests, but because their talents were only above average, they could only join the Holy Kingdom army as sergeants as priests.

Although they were trained by the temple in their youth, they later lived in the army and in a sense they were also loyal to the Holy King.

Currently, the armies of the Holy Kingdom are commanded by generals, and each general is appointed by the Holy King himself. The nobles no longer have the power to own an army.

Otherwise, the Holy King would not be able to mobilize all the young and strong men in the country as an army.

Oh, by the way, the Holy Kingdom is also one of the few countries where slavery does not exist.

Since conscription requires one to be a citizen of the Holy Kingdom, slaves are not considered citizens and therefore are not eligible for conscription.

There was once a noble who secretly hid 3,000 slave soldiers in his territory and refused the annual conscription on the grounds that they were slaves. Then this noble was swept away by one of the Holy Kings.

Slavery was also abolished and everyone became citizens.

It is said that the Eastern Great Wall during that period was the most indestructible, and almost no demi-humans could cross the Eastern Great Wall and enter the territory of the Holy Kingdom to wreak havoc.

But soon that generation of Holy King also found that he simply could not afford to support so many people. After that, he asked these people to build fortresses on the Eastern Great Wall, leaving some of them homeless to support themselves, and at the same time transferred elite troops to serve as the palace guards.

The rest who have no other options will be deported one by one.

Most of these were forced into slavery and had their own destinations.

Also inspired by this incident, successive Holy Kings now like to recruit some outstanding talents while most of the young and strong men in the country are serving in the Eastern Great Wall.

This will not only retain some talents for future wars, but also maintain the combat effectiveness of the royal capital.

However, even if they were selecting talents, it was still quite rare to select sixty priests at one time, especially when they were all soldiers themselves.

The existence of priests can not only serve as military doctors to preserve the vitality of the troops, but also serve as powerful warriors to delay the enemy's counterattack.

Sixty people can be said to be neither too many nor too few, just within the bearing capacity of the Eastern Great Wall.

Many nobles could tell at a glance that the Holy King was probably making some big move, and they paid close attention to it for a moment.

The news about the magical energy also spread out from the palace.

Kuilat could guess that this was probably revealed intentionally by the Holy King, but he was still unsure of the reason why the Holy King did so.

However, she did hear that now no one seems to be able to master the technique called magic aura.

My silly sister's talent in fighting is as strong as ever!

Kuirat couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Remedios.

But then the door opened and Karl walked in.

“Remedios, Quilat, good morning!”

"Good day, Your Highness." The sisters greeted Kalko in unison.

But the girl smiled after hearing this, and then her sensitivity to magic made her aware of the consumption of the divine energy in Remedios.

He glanced between the two of them and immediately understood what was going on.

Kuirat also realized this and immediately stood up and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I..."

“It’s okay!” Karl interrupted with a smile: “I allowed Remedios to do this.”

“I told her before that I could show you this technique when I had the chance, but I didn’t expect Remedios to be so proactive.”

Karl put his hands on his hips and smiled with a helpless and surprised look on his face.

"It shouldn't take me more than a few minutes to pack my things, right?"

"But it's just as well that you've seen it now."

"Let me ask you, Kuirat, do you want to learn?"

Karko looked at Kuirat sincerely, and the girl was stunned by his gaze.

"Eh?"

"This... Your Highness, can I?"

A tutor is not a guardian knight!

"Of course, let's go. I'll teach you two together today during your spare time. By the way, go and report to my father, and then ask for someone else."

Karko rubbed his hands together and snorted.

Lao Deng, it’s been so many days, I should be able to go and pick someone!
