Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

The cold air condensed above Roswaal, instantly transforming into several layers of thick ice shields overlapping each other.

The dragon's foot slammed into the ice shield.

The solid ice held out for only a brief moment before shattering under the terrifying force.

boom!

Roswaal's body was completely crushed into the broken ground.

The last faint breath then vanished.

Even as death approached, he still did not see the despair he desired on Subaru Natsuki's face.

Instead, there was a hint of...disdain.

That's like saying, "Dude, do you even know how to play? You've stacked up all your troops like that, how can you still get defeated?"

......

Capela slowly turned the dragon's head.

She first looked at Elsa and Emilia.

One betrayed her, and the other dared to save someone right in front of her.

They all angered Capela.

But that's just an appetizer; the real main course is...

Capela's gaze continued to move.

When it finally landed on Natsuki Subaru, it was a truly overwhelming rage, mixed with a fear that she herself was unwilling to admit!

Since leaving the royal family, she has vowed never to feel fear again in her life.

And she really did it!

But Natsuki Subaru is the only exception over the years...

Over the years, the only person who could make her feel fear was Subaru Natsuki!

That is precisely why he deserves to die.

Even if he begs for mercy and wants to become a puppy to lick his big toes every day, he won't live!

"Okay~~~"

Even with her heart in turmoil, Capella's voice remained sweet.

"The clown who gets in the way is dead."

"Next, it's your turn, you annoying bastard!"

The black dragon claws rose towards Subaru Natsuki.

Emilia, without hesitation, immediately stood in front of Subaru Natsuki.

A chill gathered around her, and several ice shields quickly formed.

Elsa also retrieved the scimitar and stood side by side with Emilia.

"Brother Subaru, you should leave now."

"Subaru, you go first."

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

Subaru Natsuki glanced at Emilia on his left.

Then he looked at Elsa on the right, who still had Roswaal's appearance.

Clicking my tongue, I couldn't help but sigh:

"You two are truly a pair of smiling tigers, two black sharks."

If it were just now, before Roswaal was defeated, Subaru Natsuki would have thought that Capella was somewhat threatening, but now?

"Roswaal sacrificed himself to create this invincible situation? And your first thought is to make me leave?"

Natsuki Subaru stretched out his right hand and slowly pushed the two people blocking his way to the sides.

"forget it."

"Both of you are either injured or weak, so stop trying to steal credit."

"I, General Natsuki Subaru, am even willing to share my wine with you all, so I certainly won't keep all this meager credit for myself!"

Emilia couldn't understand Subaru's words.

He tried to block it again, but found that Subaru Natsuki was already carrying the sword he had just obtained and was walking towards the dragon Capella.

Natsuki Subaru did not rush to draw his sword.

He simply raised his head and carefully examined the pitch-black dragon body before him.

Dragon wings.

Dragon horns.

It also has a massive body that can overlook the entire mansion.

The more you look at it, the more it exudes an imperial aura.

"Capella."

The black dragon lowered its head.

"Now you know my name? Hehehe~ Too bad, it's too late!"

"I have something I want to ask you."

"Speak. Since you're about to die, I'll allow you to leave one last message."

"If you want to beg for mercy, that's fine too~ I can leave you with a complete corpse!" Capella also imitated Natsuki Subaru's earlier actions, scratching his ear with his dragon claw.

Natsuki Subaru did not react to the provocative words. Instead, he raised his right hand and pointed to the pair of dragon horns on her head that extended backward like a crown.

"With such a dragon-like body, do you perhaps also aspire to be emperor?"

Capela's hand, which was picking at her ear, suddenly stopped.

Her pupils contracted sharply.

How did this guy know her plans?

This shouldn't be something that anyone should know about except for the children within the organization who are currently carrying out the mission to transform and replace Lugnica's high-ranking members, right?

Capela felt a chill run down his spine once again.

She had clearly revealed her true colors.

Subaru Natsuki has already witnessed his own powers, dragon blood, and this dragon body capable of crushing the mansion.

Even if he is emotionally detached and insensitive to pain, he shouldn't be thinking about anything else at this time.

But that's just how reality is.

This man was clearly struggling to even stand, and he only had one arm left.

Yet, he asked that question in a tone that seemed to see right through her!

The black dragon's vertical pupils contracted slightly.

He remembered what Roswaal had said when he approached him to place a commission...

The special ability that the black-haired man possessed...

Previously, Capela had absolute confidence in his abilities and believed that he would never lose to anyone.

But now...

Just a moment ago, Capela had a strange feeling that perhaps he was the one who was truly at a disadvantage...

Capela quickly realized that he had been lost in thought for too long.

We cannot remain silent.

If they remained silent any longer, Natsuki Subaru would only believe that he had been right.

"To become emperor?"

Capella suppressed the chill in his heart and deliberately let out a contemptuous sneer.

"Of course I don't want to."

"What's so special about a position that only old, ugly, and unloved people need? What's there for me to covet?"

"I don't need to do anything. I just need to show my body and I will be loved by the whole world. Why bother fighting for a broken chair?"

She spoke very quickly.

It was even faster than usual.

After saying that, Capella stared intently at Subaru Natsuki, trying to find any suspicion on his face.

Natsuki Subaru simply nodded.

"I see."

This reaction startled Capela, who then unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"No further questions? That's for the best..."

But the chill in Capela's heart did not disappear.

The calmer Natsuki Subaru was, the more she felt that this man had seen more from her answer.

At the same time, Subaru Natsuki once again used his thumb to pry open the scabbard.

Clang!

A cold light flashed as it was drawn from its sheath.

Natsuki Subaru gripped the sword Roswaal had given him with one hand, tossed the scabbard to his feet, and then looked up at the starry sky.

There are no dark clouds tonight.

The stars shine brightly!

[Night] The sky is thousands of miles away!

“Capella, do you know that my former lord wrote a poem?” Natsuki Subaru said, looking at the sword.

Capela did not answer.

She no longer wanted to follow this man's train of thought.

Natsuki Subaru didn't care whether she answered or not.

He gazed at the seemingly boundless starry night, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his expression, and slowly murmured:

"Riding on six horses, like a dragon, we will rule the nine provinces, pacify the four sea routes, and conquer the eight states!"

The sound echoed throughout the dilapidated courtyard.

Emilia blinked blankly.

Elsa didn't know why Subaru Natsuki would suddenly recite poetry at this time.

Natsuki Subaru, however, felt as if he had returned to Xudu.

Back then, he got along well with Princess Qinghe, and after they got engaged, Boss Cao was obviously very happy.

Not only did he tell everyone that Subaru Natsuki was his ideal son-in-law, but he also generously bestowed upon him the most famous of the six dragon chariots, the Clawed Yellow Lightning.

The horse was pure white with golden hooves, and was exceptionally magnificent.

It is no less impressive than Guan Yu's Red Hare.

Natsuki Subaru still remembers the first time he rode it out of the Wei King's mansion, the way the generals looked at him was different from before.

It was as if Subaru Natsuki had already created an invisible distance between himself and the other generals (Zhua Huang Fei Dian: +1).

This is probably the sense of distance caused by the difference in status.

It was from that time that Natsuki Subaru began to understand that a mount not only represents a person's identity, but is also a symbol of life and dignity.

Yuan Shao had a fine horse.
