Dead Queen Nala's
The Last 26 Lights

The crows crossed the sky. Fly towards their origin. A forest that has been burned. Looking for a girl who goes there alone. Lamenting the lives lost in the flames. Without realizing, it was his last night.

"Uhhh.." The blonde girl began to wake up. "Where is this?"

"Daughter?" The former holy knight who was a captive of monsters, approached the girl with a face full of fear. "Daughter Genshi! are you conscious?"

"Natalia, is that you? Where have you been? What's going on?" The girl began to notice the surroundings. He was surrounded by the Monster Princesses. He then realized that something was wrong in him. Something is missing. He grabbed a part of his body, and saw that there was a large enough hole mark. "What happened to me?"

"You have been killed, Princess. Your heart has been taken."

"Eh? But why am I still-"

"I turned you into a zombie." I finally appeared to the princess of light, or rather before.

"Are you the new King of Monsters?" She asked. His face showed no fear or nervousness at all.

"I'd rather be called Queen, but that's okay."

"You've killed a lot of people. Why am I the only one revived. Is it because I'm Princess Schlain?"

"Not really. I just got this power from the Black Dragon I swore. Zombies that I created can be manipulated, like familiar. So I turned you on because you weren't a threat at all."

"Black Pads? You mean Hydra? The dragon that nearly destroyed this world along with the other five Dragon Kings? Didn't they have been sealed?"

"Ah, I unsealed them, so that I could eat them."

"Which side are you on?"

"freedom. But since I'm a monster, you could say I'm on the dark side." Princess Genshi finally fell silent. "So, what are you gonna do? I'm done dealing with you. You can stay here, live a new life as a Zombie, or I can take you back to your place, even though you might have the same fate as me. Headless, hehe."

"What's your name?"

"Nala."

"Tell me, Queen Nala. Do you intend to destroy and rule this world?"

"Is that important? I'm planning to kill your brother is proof that I'm a bad guy, right?"

"But I didn't see it."

"What do you mean?"

"Princess Genshi has the ability to see one's true nature."

"Okay, that's cool." Although it might not be very useful to me.

"You don't have morality, but I don't see any bad intentions of you either. What do you really want?"

I'm silent for a moment. Not that I'm angry. No. gabe. He's absolutely right. I am not moving on the basis of morality. But I'm not trying to be a criminal either. I just became. myself. His ability was somewhat annoying.

"I used to be human too." Everyone looks shocked. I never told her. "I then die, and rise again to be a Zombie. Unfortunately this world did not accept monsters. So I tried to survive, by being the strongest. And I will do anything to achieve that, including hurting others."

"so yeah.. Then you're just like big brother." I don't understand what that means. "I'll join you." Natalia looked very surprised. But the princess was a very stubborn person. His decision cannot be changed.

"You still up?"

"Ah, Queen Nala. Welcome then. It seems like being a zombie makes me no longer feel sleepy." Well, I understand that.

"What can I do?"

"I want to talk for a minute. Can you?"

"Of course."

"What are you doing in Raven Forest? Lamia said that since the attack, you've been there a lot."

"As a child, when my father was at war with the Queen of the White Spiders. I was kidnapped by a band of bandits. They took me to the forest. The one who saved me was not a knight, but a werewolf. He killed the bandits. My first experience was seeing someone killed in plain sight. But I'm not afraid. The girl did not try to attack me at all. We then became friends. My first-time friend. Before returning to the palace, I gave her my anklet. Lied to others if I dropped it.

Since then, I have believed that humans and monsters can live together. Unfortunately I don't have the power to make it happen. I can't even stop you from attacking the forest. I don't know how she is. So I went there to find out, even if it never worked."

"Your friend is dead."

"You know" Genshi was shocked when I showed the bracelet on my leg.

"Name Dora. He was also my first friend. The stubborn girl who is always cheerful. He was dead before the attack. Murderous by an Executor. It was his death that prompted me to do all this. Pushing me to become stronger so that I wouldn't have to worry about my life, and the lives of others."

"so yeah. So her name is Dora." Genshi looked sad. Well, I did too.

"Then can you say our meeting is thanks to Dora? Hehe." He forced himself to smile.

"Maybe." So I lied. But now it's time to get serious.

"Genshi."

"Yes?"

"You're not a descendant of Jeanne Schlain, are you?"

"Yes. I'm just a victim of war who lost her parents. The king found and raised me as a child. Is that why you killed me? Are you gonna dump me after you find out that I'm not a descendant of the Savior?"

"Hm? No. gabe. I never thought so. You're a part of us now."

I've guessed. When I ate Genshi's heart, I got nothing. The Hydra says the White Dragon sacrificed himself to give Jeanne Schlain the power to fight the Dragon King. And that power was decreasing in his flesh blood, as well as in the true Knights of Schlain. That's why Natalia could hurt me with an ordinary sword.

In other words, the current strength of the White Dragon only existed on Julius Schlain. Descendants of Jeanne Schlain with other men. My last enemy. The strongest knight who can manipulate time and destiny. Hydra said that without the power of the White Bahamut, it was impossible for me to win against Julius because fate was more on his side.

"Genshi, I want to ask for your help. Whether you want it or not is up to you. But this concerns me. And for you to know, I'm the highest priority of anything. So if you do. I'll do anything for you."

"Anything? Really true?"

"Yes. I promise."

The war trumpet is sounded. Everybody trusts me. I can't fail. I would do anything to win, even, if it meant I would really die.
