Legend of the Sun Knight Vol 8
Original novel in Chinese by: 御我 (Yu Wo)
Synopsis:
I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight.
The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and theirs is one of the three largest religions on this continent.
As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.
To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.
“The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”
I must have said that line at least a million times in my time as the Sun Knight.
However, the greatest wish in my life is to be able to stand before the entire continent and roar, “Damn your ‘the whole continent knows’! This Sun Knight just doesn’t feel like smiling! I just don’t want to forgive these human trashes! I just want to pepper my sentences with ‘f***’!”
Unfortunately, even to this day, I continue to wear a smile as I say, “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”
About the Author
Yu Wo:
Who am I? Sometimes I am like a warrior, wielding a sword on the battlefield with limitless passion and energy. At other times, I resemble a mage, with a mind devoted to research, completely absorbed in the things I like. Or I might be like a thief, leading a free and easy life, letting fate lead me to distant and unfamiliar lands. Occasionally, however I am similar to a priest, with a gentle heart, filled with compassion towards the living things of this world. Ultimately, I am a kindly Fantastical world.

Prologue: Crusading Against the Demon King
“I’m so sorry. It’s all because of me that Sun, he… he became the Demon King.”
After speaking, Roland looked at the other person. Right across from him was Lesus Judgment, whose tightly-knitted eyebrows made Roland even more apprehensive. For him, this was quite an uncommon emotion. Ever since he had “died,” it had been a long time since he had had any strong fluctuations in his emotions.
When Roland finished speaking, other than scrunching his eyebrows together, Lesus did not make any other kind of move. This made Roland a little unclear about what he was thinking. Although he had his eyebrows knitted together, Knight-Captain Judgment usually had his eyebrows knitted together all day long anyway, so this matter could not be used as a basis for interpretation.
Roland could only sneak a glance at the other people. All of the Twelve Holy Knights were present… Except for the Sun Knight.
However, all of them were also looking at Lesus, and most had on an expression of expectation or complete loss. They were waiting for Lesus’s response and decision, just like Roland.
The pressure of being stared at by everyone in this kind of desperate situation must be incomparably immense, right?
Roland could not help but be impressed by Lesus, but immediately after, he remembered that the person who was always stared at like this by everyone was the leader of the Twelve Holy Knights – the Sun Knight, none other than Grisia.
Grisia would always silently ponder for awhile. Then, he would lift his head and, with a smile, say things like, “These are but occasional dark clouds that have drifted across the clear skies. When the time passes, the dark clouds can naturally be parted for light to emerge” that made it hard for people to understand.
If the situation were very severe, he might also give a serious order to everyone, making them fall over themselves in their haste while he himself seemed like he was not doing a single thing. Even though everyone complained out loud incessantly, they would be resigned as they did whatever was ordered of them.
As long as Grisia gave a serious order, no matter how absurd the order was, they would still complete it. And, whenever he seriously gave an order, he would always unconsciously…
“I understand what happened now.”
Roland returned from his musings. He turned to look at Lesus who had spoken. The other person was also staring straight at him—In fact, everyone was staring at him. This made Roland start to feel nervous. The feeling of having everyone stare at him was making him short of breath!
“Were you off in another world?” Lesus was unexpectedly intrigued as he asked, “What were you thinking of?”
“Nothing much…”
Yet Lesus was uncharacteristically persistent. “Tell me. This is an order!”
Roland was taken aback, but when he saw Lesus’s insistent expression, he felt a bit awkward as he replied, “I was just thinking of Grisia’s small habit when he seriously gives an order.”
“Oh, that habit!” Hearing this, everyone smiled.
“Actually, it’s quite easy to figure out.” Ceo smiled as he said, “But I didn’t think you would discover it so quickly.”
“Don’t tell Sun!” Laica warned, “Even if he whips you, you’re not allowed to tell!”
“Oh please, the only person Sun would whip is you!”
“Well…”
After they joked around a bit, they slowly quieted down. Without opening their mouths to speak, they all knew what the others were inwardly thinking—the Sun they were speaking of might never ever return.
At that moment, Lesus finally gave a command. “Knight-Captain Hell, please write
Roland was taken aback again. That’s it? No punishment at all? There was no blame like he had thought, no anger or lack of understanding as to why he had let Sun become the Demon King while he returned to the Holy Temple…
“But aren’t we going to think of some way to get Sun to return?” Roland hurriedly said, “We can go interrogate Awaitsun. He is in the Shadow Cathedral. Once I learn of where the Shadow Cathedral is and find him, we can probably find a method to let me take Sun’s place as the Demon King—”
“Knight-Captain Hell!” Lesus suddenly bellowed.
Roland jumped, shut his mouth, and looked helplessly at Lesus. He didn’t understand what he had said wrong.
“What you should do isn’t becoming the Demon King, but rather returning to your station!”
Returning to my station… Once he heard this, Roland felt a rare surge of emotions and even his eyes became warm, but he repressed it. After all, the sight of a death knight shedding tears is not a pretty one because their tear glands have long since “died” along with their bodies. The only “tears” that would flow would be thick dark element.
Although Roland still wanted to say that he should take Sun’s place as the Demon King, Lesus’s expression did not look like there was any room for debate, so he could only look at the others.
When they had not received any commands about what they should do, they were all a bit at a loss, but in regard to Lesus telling Roland to return to his station, no one showed any strange expressions.
Seeing this, the words that he had been about to say, that he would replace Sun as the Demon King, were ones he could no longer say. Perhaps he was not truly a part of the group at the moment, but in the future, could he genuinely become a true part of the Twelve Holy Knights?
If it were one of the Twelve Holy Knights who had received the command to return to his station, what kind of response would he have?
“Understood!” Roland replied without the slightest hesitation.
* * *
“Hell still seems very remorseful.”
Ceo followed alongside the Judgment Knight. The fact that it was something dark and murky walking beside him instead of a sparkling entity bright enough to blind him truly made him feel a little strange.
Aivis also spoke up. “Yeah, his expression looked like he wasn’t relieved at all.”
“Talk it out with him.” Lesus could only reply in such a way to the two people.
Ceo helplessly said, “That might be difficult. Hell’s personality is truly obstinate. On our entire way back, I tried to convince him more than a hundred times that Sun personally decided to become the Demon King to solve the matter of his blindness, so it had nothing to do with him. However, throughout the entire journey, he had this guilty face, and it never changed at all.”
Lesus nodded, but he didn’t actually give any further command. It was because he didn’t know at all how to talk someone around. That was not his duty.
Compared to talking someone around, he was more skilled at handling the matter of forcing someone to admit their guilt.
Moreover, he already had enough of a headache dealing with the current matter which he was not good at. He really didn’t have any extra leisure to handle other matters he was not good at—right now, Lesus intended to demand money from the king.
This was something he had never done before, so he brought along Storm and Stone who were the most experienced at diplomacy. He only hoped to successfully persuade the king; otherwise, if they did not have the funds, what he needed to do after this would just be a moot point.
However, Lesus was not very sure how to deal with the current king. He hadn’t had a lot of contact with him before. He was actually more familiar with the previous king.
In the past, whenever the previous king did anything that overstepped his boundaries too much, Lesus would follow Grisia to the palace, but he didn’t have to do anything. He didn’t even have to open his mouth to speak. All he had to do was stand silently by Sun’s side, letting Sun use him to openly yet secretly warn the previous king, as if the Judgment Knight really could capture a king and drag him off to the Judge’s Complex for interrogation.
Even though the previous king made people want to strangle him to get rid of him once and for all, he was not hard to deal with. He could be casually deceived. On the other hand, the current king, not to mention deceiving him, you couldn’t even be unclear in your delivery! Grisia often lamented so.
Once they walked up to the entrance of the great hall, the guards on both sides crossed their weapons to block them like usual. Lesus coldly looked at the guards on either side, waiting for them to finish their routine examination and let them pass.
Facing the Judgment Knight, the two guards showed reverence yet did not show any hint of cowardice.
Lesus still remembered that when the previous king had been in power, these guards didn’t even dare to meet his eyes. They would always evade his gaze, and could barely lift their heads. After all, every time he came, it was always when the previous king committed yet another mistake. When knights loyal to the royal family see the object of their loyalty act in such a way, of course they would not be able to lift their heads.
I didn’t expect that so soon after the current king came into power, they would already be proud enough to lift their heads to face me?
“Judgment Knight, Storm Knight, Stone Knight, please enter.”
The guards let them pass. Although it was currently an extraordinary time, the Twelve Holy Knights were still the Twelve Holy Knights. They would not dare to touch them, let alone search them. They only took measure of them with their eyes and let them pass.
Once they walked into the great hall, Lesus immediately saw an additional large table in front of the king. Files of all kinds and sorts were piled on top of it. The two sides of the great hall were also filled with chancellors. Some were engrossed with the files, some were yelling and shouting at their subordinates. From what Lesus knew, the great hall of the palace had never been so busy and noisy before.
Behind him came Ceo’s intake of breath and murmurings, “First he had to evacuate the entire capital, now he has to call all the citizens back… Thankfully I’m not responsible for any of this!”
The king’s complexion was terrible, but the complexion of Elijah who was next to him was even worse. The eye bags below his two eyes were even darker than Ceo’s. Even though the Judgment Knight had walked in, Elijah merely raised his head to take a glance, and then returned to being buried under the files.
But the king reacted differently. Once he saw the Judgment Knight, he immediately stopped what he was doing. He asked, “Grisi… Where is the Sun Knight?”
Lesus bowed and then bluntly said, “Your Majesty, the Sun Knight has been abducted by the Demon King.”
The king was stunned. Of course he would react this way. The royalty of each kingdom knew who the Demon King was. They just didn’t plan on falling out with the Church of the God of Light, so no one cut through this paper-thin lie… Moreover, if they revealed the truth, who knew how the “Demon King” would react?
The Demon King had only just surfaced. He was currently at his strongest. No one would dare to provoke him.
What the king had just asked was merely a routine inquiry. After all, the entire city knew that the Sun Knight had disappeared “again.”
Logically and emotionally, he should ask after him. He originally thought he would receive a bunch of half-hearted excuses. He never thought… This excuse is way too absurd!
The king furrowed his brows deeply. He stared at the Judgment Knight but discovered that the other didn’t seem to have any intention of withdrawing his remarks. At this time, he finally thought this to be strange. If Grisia were to use such an absurd excuse, he might not feel it to be very strange, but the person involved was the Judgment Knight. According to the king’s understanding of him, this person was not someone who would act that way.
