But he felt that Chen Fan was the true anomaly. Perhaps this was what a real Demon King was. Alexander could not help thinking so.
"I hope you won't regret your decision." After saying that, Alexander transformed into lightning and vanished from the place.
After Alexander left, Chen Fan looked at Divine Ancestor Ginevra and said, "If you revive the Last King, have him come find me. I'll give him the release he desires. Lancelot, is there anything else you want to say to her?"
"Two thirty." Lancelot thought for a moment, then looked at Ginevra and said, "It seems the protector's mission ends here. Aiko, be careful from now on. Don't let Alexander scheme against you again."
Divine Ancestor Ginevra nodded. What else could she say? Everything had already been decided. The myth she had created had bound Lancelot for over a thousand years. This was the best possible outcome.
Chen Fan left the island with Lancelot. He said to her, "Forgive me. This is merely a man's selfishness."
"I do not blame you. On the contrary, I am deeply grateful. You saved Aiko and me. For all these years, I accompanied Aiko in searching for the Last King. She was too immersed in it to notice, but I did. The Last King had no desire to awaken—or rather, he hated awakening."
"There was no aura of steel on that island. The Last King was not sleeping there. It was merely a false place."
"The Last King's desire to flee was within my expectations, but he should be awakening soon." Chen Fan had deduced this from all the information available.
Chen Fan brought Lancelot back. The girls were all shocked to see that Chen Fan had actually abducted another goddess. When Lancelot met Athena, they nearly came to blows.
