LSK manhua bundle 9 scans and translation
Pics and translation of LSK manhua bundle 9. Enjoy. :) (Scattered with my commentary! Because that was what I was mainly doing this for) This illustrates part of volume 2 of the novels (V2c6-v2c8), is volume 4~5 or so of the manhua. Chapter 17. This is in no way a replacement for a scanlation or for buying the actual volume.
As always, rough translation, no proofreading except a quick glance from myself. =P Rule 17 only for now. Rule 18... to come? :'D;;
The Legend of Sun Knight Round 9
Author: Yu Wo
Artist: Neko Kruez
(Cover features Sun, who doesn't look happy, the Son of the God of War, Elijah, and the princess! That seriously doesn't look like a comfortable position for the princess...)
*Yaaaaawn!*
Let's backtrack to the time when I returned to the Holy Temple after staying up all night drinking...
I didn't think that a Death Lord can also get drunk. It took me until morning to return after hauling him back... I'm so sleepy...
I want to sleep until I'm satisfied~ Until I wake up naturally... I also need to apply my facial mask...
Oh my bed...
Really, my memory is astounding! I actually remembered that the back of the man sneaking around with the princess in the tunnels underneath the palace belonged to Elijah, and he is coincidentally Knight-Captain Hell!
Since Elijah is the princess's lover, my plan should work!
*shock!*
(Sun's shock was really cute here, hahahaha. The manhua lays it on really thick with the bold words. Kind of like using italics for stress, I guess. XD;;;;)
*search search...*
*crawl crawl...*
*search search...*
Sun: ...
Moon: !
Sun: Are you looking for this?
Moon: Yes!
(Moon, omg. XD;; Sun is not impressed, hahaha.)
*nervous*
Moon: Thank you, Knight-Captain Sun.
"Cruel, cold-hearted" faction
Moon Knight
Famous for being narcissistic and looking down on others.
The entire continent knows that Moon Knight is a shut-in*...
Cough! I mean, he is famous for being narcissistic and has a prideful personality. He does not easily grow close to others, and he always has his chin lifted, as if he is looking down on other people.
Moon: ...
When I first met him, I really did dislike him quite a lot. After all, no one likes to be stared down by someone from above.
(Aw, Moon clutching his mirror. ♥ Also, the "shut-in" comment is interesting because Moon's title in Chinese includes the character 孤, which means solitary. His title is 孤月, which technically means Solitary Moon. So, Sun was basically saying that Moon Knight is a shut-in/solitary figure, though generally the solitary part refers to Moon's narcissism, which also uses the word 孤 in Chinese.)
However, that only continued until one day...
*laughs secretly*
*laughs secretly*
Sun (thought): What is he doing? The item is clearly by his foot, yet he can't find it?
*Half an hour later...*
Sun: ...
*search search search search*
Ah!
Moon: Thanks!
*sweet smile*
(Wow, Sun, your patience is quite something. XD;; You stood there and watched for half an hour? I'd have left... haha. XD; Awww, Moon's smile~. Leave it to Sun to be walking about with sweets in his mouth, hehe.)
Sun: Right... The benevolence of the God of Light encompasses this entire land, and the love among us is a gift from God. May I ask Knight-Captain Moon, if your lover's family were to arrange another marriage for her, would she accept wholeheartedly?
*emotional*
Moon: Of course not! Our love is more solid than gold! If she did actually accept, it would be because she has circumstances that she can't help!
Sun: Then, if a stranger says he will help both of you, would you accept?
Moon: It depends on what his aim is...
*Girlfriend is number 1! Long live love!*
Moon: But most importantly, he must not harm my lover!
Sun: The power of love is very amazing.
(Hahaha, ooooh Moon. You are crazy for your lover. I really like his expression here. See, Moon, you can do a prideful look really well. Just think of your lover and someone coming between you, hahaha. Also, I love that Sun asked for Moon's opinion on how to deal with the princess's marriage~. I don't think it was part of the novels since Moon was introduced a little earlier there together with Metal. Love live the manhua for cool details!)
Rule 17: The Coronation Ceremony and the Marriage Proposal Plan
(Hehe, Sun with a crown!)
*stare!*
Sun: ...
The princess is truly efficient. Elijah had only just returned drunk yesterday, and now today she has already come knocking on my door in person.
Sun: Brother Storm, may I ask you to leave us for the moment?
*super reluctant. wants to stay for the gossip*
*silently closes door...*
(Storm!!!!! Hahaha, he wanted to stay and listen to all the gossip~ ♥)
Princess: Elijah has told me your plan, but I will not support you!
Princess: You must think that my brother has no regard for my opinion and wishes to forcefully marry me to the Son of the God of War, right?
Princess: But. You. Are. Wrong!
*Disdain!*
*Condescending!*
Princess: I have agreed to the marriage. As a princess, it is my duty to sacrifice myself for the royal family!
Sun: Your Highness, I believe there is a misunderstanding between us. I once made an oath to the God of Light that I would protect each and every one of my holy knight brothers. So, no matter what, I will not harm Hell Knight.
*smile smile~*
Princess: ...
*in disbelief...*
Sun: The problem is, our esteemed Pope does not at all think of the holy knights as his brothers. If someone might hurt the Church, he would definitely show no mercy.
Sun: You should know that my relationship with the Pope is not very good. The Pope would not stay his hand on my behalf, and I am incapable of staying by Elijah's side 24/7...
!!!
Sun: If you were to marry all the way to the neighboring kingdom, then who will be able to protect Elijah?
Princess: ...
Score! Even if the princess is able to sacrifice herself, she would not be able to sacrifice her lover. It looks like Moon's motto of living for love can also be used on the princess who is currently in love...
*distressed*
*hesitating*
Princess: Y...You dare use Elijah to threaten me! What kind of representative of the God of Light are you?! You are clearly the representative of the despicable and shameless! Brother Sun was right about you!
Brother Sun?
(And so begins Sun getting called "despicable and shameless" by princesses. Oh wait, isn't Roland the first to call him this? XDDDD)
Hah! By Brother Sun, she means my teacher! Teacher's relationship with the palace is pretty good, so the princess directly calls him Brother!
Even though she should really call him Uncle instead... Teacher has never accepted getting called anything older than Brother...
*Hes...itating...*
Sun: ...What has my teacher said?
Neo: What is my student like?
Neo: Hm, in general, you could say he is a good person... That is, if you are not opposing him.
Princess: What if you are opposing him?
Neo: Well, you would still think he is a good person, but you would also wonder about your recent bout of bad luck, why you are failing at everything you do. When you drink cold soup, you will get burned. When you eat porridge, you will choke on bones...
Princess: But, how could you possibly get burned by cold soup? Why would there be bones in porridge?
(Neo~ ♥ And the cute little princess. Neo, you are really shameless, wanting everyone to call you Brother when you are much, much older... Haha, Sun's unimpressed face. XD;;;)
Neo: That is why, in general, my student is a good person, as long as you are not opposing him.
Princess: You are not at all a perfect Sun Knight and are even a despicable and shameless bastard! Even your teacher believes so!
*angry!*
Sun: ...
Sun (thought): Teacher! Your explanation is too poor. I would never use cold soup to burn someone. That is too obvious and problematic a scheme!
Sun: Your Highness, even if I do have a different motive...
Sun: Do you truly believe that I don't have the slightest intention to help Hell unite with the woman of his heart?
Princess: Don't you dare think that I will believe you are doing this for Elijah's sake.
*cold*
Sun: Hmph...
(Neo's expression~. Hehe, and I always loved the part where Sun corrected his teacher and said that he wouldn't use such obvious means... Instead of denying that he wouldn't do it in the first place. XD;;; The princess's anger is pretty cute, haha)
Sun: Although Elijah is one of the Twelve Holy Knights, this identity of his cannot be revealed, so he is merely a normal royal knight.
Sun: And you should know how hard it is for a lofty princess to marry a normal royal knight.
Sun: Truth to be told, rather than trying to think of a way for you to marry a royal knight, it would be easier for me to enter the battle personally and fight the Son of the God of War for you, Princess!
Sun: After all, I am the leader of the Holy Temple, the representative of the God of Light.
Sun: And, if I were to win, not only would I become royalty, under the current circumstances where the prince still has no children, my child might even become the next king. What is not to like about such a situation?
(Ooooh Sun. I looove his expression in this last panel! Also, I still find his new outfit very cute. Two thumbs up!)
*sigh*
Sun: Me, a person who is "in general" a good person, is actually foolish enough to give such a good opportunity to Elijah, and then, in order to think of a good plan, I thought so much that my head nearly split open!
*This...*
*sneaking a look...*
Princess: Then, why do you want to help us? Aren't we obviously in opposition with you?
Sun: You are not in opposition with me!
Sun: Although Elijah no longer wishes to be the Hell Knight, he has not harmed the Church either.
Sun: Although you are going to be married to the Son of the God of War, that is only the prince's plan. But even then, because the royal family's name has fallen and the Church's reputation is currently very high, as the king, his wish to elevate the royal family's reputation is understandable. I would not count that as opposing me either.
(The princess's expression is adorable here~)
Sun: Although you have listened to my teacher's warnings about not opposing me, you forgot to ask him about the kinds of behavior that would count as opposing me.
Princess: Then, what kinds of behavior would count as opposing you?
Tell me~. You have to tell me, or else I won't know how to avoid them~~~
*Older sister*
Sun: Then, I will give you an example.
Sun: Recently, a bastard actually dared to try to beat my vice-captain to death, and he also wants to steal my brother's woman.
Sun: He clearly doesn't have any regard for me, the Sun Knight. If I don't make him pay,
Sun: I would not be called Grisia!
(Oh~, so the princess is older than Sun? I don't quite recall how old she is... Sun should currently be 23 or so. Heh, the Son of the God of War... You crossed a line you shouldn't! The wings on Sun's outfit are really cute~. Less noticeable now.)
The prince is truly amazing.
Although this is the coronation ceremony he has been anticipating for ages, he has no intention of making a big deal out of this.
It is said that although the organizers of the coronation ceremony made suggestions, the new king only said flatly, "Father has already been decorating the palace for many years. It is extravagant enough."
Sun (thought): Only someone with a sharp eye would be able to tell that the red carpet has been changed...
*smile smile*
Sun (thought): ...Or maybe it has just been washed?
(Sun is definitely someone with a sharp eye, hahaha. XD;; And yay, the outside of the palace! The symbol on the outside... I'm thinking it is probably a bud of some kind for Leaf Bud... Or a flower?)
No wonder the princess was willing to marry someone she doesn't love.
Her brother was already selfless to such an extent, so it's not like she can say that she already has someone she loves, so she won't agree to the marriage, right?
Moreover...
The Son of the God of War was actually such a good-looking person!
I thought he would be the type with bulging muscles and a head of messy hair and clothes...
Perhaps the prince even thinks from the bottom of his heart that this is a good match, and that is why he is willing to let his sister marry.
Although the coronation ceremony was not extravagant, it was grand and solemn.
(Me too, Sun, me too... Despite being told several times in the novels that the Son of the God of War is lithe like a panther, I didn't picture him looking like this at all. XD;; I still thought he would be bulkier than this, but hahahahaha, who was I kidding. This is LSK. XD;;; The bulkiest person is probably Stone, and even he is not that broad-shouldered. I very much approve of the Son of the God of War's looks, hahahahaha. I like it. Also, I am so very amused over how Sun is smiling in all these panels during the coronation. Drastic difference from all the previous panels in the chapter.)
The important thing is, everyone is eagerly looking forward to the prince's coronation.
Pope: In the name of the God of Light, I declare Archer as the new king of the Kingdom of Forgotten Sound!
Because once he becomes king, it means a certain someone will finally be stepping down!
*clap clap*
*clap clap*
*clap clap*
*clap clap*
Although many people have relaxed because the fat pig king has finally stepped down...
My easy days of dealing with the "real pig" (the fat pig king) have ended. From now on, I will need to begin a long and arduous battle of wits with the "fake pig" (the new king) who is pretending to be a pig while he is someone who will devour even tigers.
*various gifts from each kingdom*
I just hope that I am not the tiger who is devoured...
Huh?
(The Pope sure has a lot of power! Haha, Sun is still smiling. XD;;; I know that Yu Wo didn't name the king until much later (I think, volume 5?). The manhua got to mention things much earlier once again since all of canon is already available.)
But this coronation ceremony was truly too rushed. Not even three months have passed between the announcement and the actual ceremony. That's why, although the gifts from each kingdom are valuable, none of them are real treasures.
Even the gifts previously celebrating the fat pig king's birthday were more extravagant than these.
*smile smile*
But, why is it that the king doesn't seem to mind? He even looks very happy?
Sun (thought): Don't tell me... he did this on purpose?
In order to fill up the treasury that has nearly been emptied by the fat pig king, the king prevented each kingdom from preparing anything that is too much of a real treasure by not giving them enough time... This way, the kingdoms would present jewels and things made out of precious metals.
As long as he plucks the jewels off and melts the gold swords and mirrors and makes gold bars out of them to sell, no one would be the wiser!
Treasures that are too well known would be easily discovered, so they would be difficult to sell.
*he~ he~*
Prince... No! You are now the fake pig king. You are truly amazing. You can even use such a devious way to acquire money! I am truly in awe!
If the Pope knew, he might even want to become your sworn brother!
(Haha, the money signs in the pope's eyes~)
*presents!!!*
*prideful prideful*
Son of the God of War: This shield is the joint work of a mage, a jeweler, and a weapons smith. It can defend against magical attacks, and it is also top of the line in physical defense. Even a broad ax would not be able to cut it down!
*oh oh!*
*oooh!*
*ha!*
King: Put it away safely.
Ah! This can be said to be the most eye-catching gift so far. Even the smallest jewel from the shield would equate to my salary accumulated from 20 years old to 40 years old!
(Well damn, that is one expensive shield. You should steal some of those jewels, Sun... And then retire, lol. The Monastery of the God of War must be rich! And ooh, I'm guessing the symbol on the shield is the symbol of the God of War~)
*provoking*
Son of the God of War: We, the Monastery of the God of War, have shown our respect to the king. I wonder what the Church of the God of Light has to present to the king?
Sun: Sun does not possess anything special.
Sun: But Sun presents this bracelet of holy light roses made by Sun. Each rose has received the God of Light's blessing.
(That bracelet is sparkling so much. XDDD;; Aaaand Sun is still smiling, hahahah)
Son of the God of War: Hahahaha! I didn't think the Church of the God of Light was so cheap!
Son of the God of War: Hahahaha!
King: *keeps his smile on*
Sun: Under the protection of the God of Light, Your Majesty will be forever healthy. If Your Majesty ever encounters any harm, Your Majesty may break one of the rose beads and thus gain the God of Light's blessing. The effect is equivalent to an Advanced Heal.
Sun: Also, the blessing from the largest rose here in the middle is equivalent to an Ultimate Heal.
King: !!!
(Haha, take that, Son of the God of War! I do love his expression here a lot. XD;; He looks so prickly)
King: *satisfied*
With this bracelet around, it will be like having a personal cleric who can cast Advanced Heal 18 times and Ultimate Heal 1 time. And, this is a cleric who cannot be bought nor immediately killed by the enemy. (There is a total of 18 small beads and 1 large bead)
Even though this is a gift from me, the king has no choice but to like it! After all, for a person of such a high position, the thing he is most afraid of is getting assassinated.
Also, this life-protecting bracelet can't be made by any old cleric!
Even someone like me with overflowing holy light needed to spend over a month on it...
I had to cast Advanced Heal a total of 30 times on average for each small bead!
For the large bead, I needed to use Ultimate Heal on it. In a single day, I can only cast it at most 10 times, and the only bead that was successful was this one!
Secretly adding the money the Pope gave for buying the present to my retirement fund was no easy feat!
Knight-Captain Sun!
(LMAO, that's why you made the bracelet, Sun? So you can keep the money for buying the present... Sun casting Heal here is super cute~. And wow, Sun can cast Ultimate Heal 10 times a day... Sun, you are crazy...)
Sun: Hm?
Sun Knight Platoon Member: There are several necromancers and undead creatures disturbing the town.
Sun: ...
Heh!
You damn bastard actually dare to scheme against me!
Sun: Necromancers have actually stepped foot into Leaf Bud City, bringing undead creatures into a place protected by the God of Light's blessing? This is blasphemous!
Sun: Listen well. Immediately mobilize the Sun Knight Platoon to deal with those creatures bereft of the God of Light's blessing. Protect Leaf Bud City well.
Sun Knight Platoon Member: Understood.
Son of the God of War: Sun Knight, undead creatures have appeared on such an important day. Isn't it wiser for you to personally see to it?
Sun: Please do not worry, Sire. Today is the coronation ceremony of the king, which is a day blessed by the God of Light.
Sun: Those necromancers who have not received any blessings will not have any chance of receiving any blessings. Therefore, my Sun Knight Platoon will, without a doubt, decimate them.
I don't at all believe any necromancers other than Pink, the specially contracted necromancer, would dare come to Leaf Bud City and cause an uproar. It must be the Monastery of the God of War that is trying to stir up trouble. He wants to ask for the princess's hand during the confusion!
Besides, the Monastery of the God of War has never been strong against undead creatures, so they wouldn't dare try to command high-leveled necromancers!
(So much text on this page... And it isn't just this page either. XD;; This is a wordy manhua, hahaha. Sun, you think a lot. XD;;; I totally forgot that there were other necromancers around other than Pink. I guess they were such small fry that I completely forgot about them, lol)
King: *emotionless*
Also, this is most definitely not the king's idea. Because the Kingdom of Forgotten Sound has long believed in the God of Light, the citizens are quite against undead creatures and dark auras.
I bet that this action of the Son of the God of War has actually made the king unhappy.
Son of the God of War: *barging on* Your Majesty, not only has the Monastery of the God of War come to congratulate you on your coronation, we have another request to make.
King: Oh? Tell me.
Son of the God of War: I have heard that the princess is talented and beautiful. She has my admiration.
Son of the God of War: After seeing her today, I have learned that she is even more beautiful than the rumors claim. It has further deepened my determination to ask for her hand in marriage.
*Entire boxes full of gold and jewels*
Son of the God of War: This is the betrothal gift...
(Dang, the Monastery is rich!!!! Heh, the Son of the God of War looks like he's in a pinch~. The king is not impressed that you ordered necromancers to storm the city...)
People (thought): The king is not at all surprised...
People (thought): So the king intends for the princess to marry him!
People: What a perfect match!
*hahaha*
People: What a pleasant chain of events since the king's coronation!
Sun: Please wait!
Sun: Sun is also in love with the princess. On behalf of Sun's deep love, please allow Sun an equal opportunity to win the princess's hand.
Sun is proposing?????
(I love the holy knights' shock. XDDDDDDD In fact, the king's and the Son of the God of War's shock is pretty priceless too...)
Storm: This is inconceivable. I thought that the first person Sun would propose to would be a statue of the God of Light!
*nod nod*
Only Judgment knows me!
The others actually think of me in that way...
Judgment (thought): I thought the first person you would propose to would be Ice?
Ice: ?
Son of the God of War: You bastard...
Random count: Sun Knight, if you have the intention of proposing, that must mean you have prepared a betrothal gift?
Son of the God of War: If you don't have a gift, you are obviously here to mess things up!
(Hahahaha, my favorite page so far. XDDDD All those wide-eyed stares from the "good, warm-hearted" faction, and then Sun thinking that Judgment "knew" him... Only for Judgment to think that Sun would propose to Ice, pffft. I mean, he totally would... And to think Judgment did it with such a calm face. Sun's expression is priceless. XDDDD Judgment's hand on Ice's shoulder, and the arrow pointing to it, hahahaha. XD)
Sun: Sun does not possess anything special.
Sun: So, Sun can only present yet another blessing from the God of Light to demonstrate my love for the princess.
<-Taught the pope how to make beads and earned 108 beads as the study fee
*moved!*
King: !!!
King: ...
King: *cough* These two are both good men! Princess, it looks like both of them are serious about you. What are your thoughts?
Princess: ...
*appears*
Elijah: Your Majesty.
Elijah: I am the one who is truly in love with the princess.
Elijah: The princess and I-I love each other!
(The princess is not impressed with the king. XD;; And wow, the pope was able to make 108 beads! He is quite powerful indeed. And you go Elijah! \o\)
King: ...
Princess: *silently admitting*
People: Really? The princess had someone she liked?
People: And he is only a knight?
Knight adviser: Elijah, don't speak nonsense!
Knight adviser: The princess is not someone you are worthy of!
Storm: That elderly knight in the back has always liked Elijah and has taught him many things. He is practically like half a teacher to him.
(Awww, Elijah's appealing face. XDDD;;; Also, pfft, Storm, you sure know all the gossip!)
Hehe! I never thought there was such a relationship! If so, then Elijah's competitive ability has risen much higher.
Blaze: I never thought that Elijah had it in him... But even more unbelievable is that Sun has a thing with the princess.
Blaze: No wonder I heard from the Sun Knight Platoon that Sun forced wine down Elijah's throat for no reason. To think, they're actually rivals in love...
Storm: Also, the princess secretly came to find Sun the other day. She probably wanted to explain about the affair, afraid that he would find out, right?
So it's not just my Sun Knight Platoon that is full of gossipers... The entire Holy Temple is full of gossipers!
You call yourselves holy knights? You might as well call yourself gossip knights!
Who has a thing with the princess?!
King: *glares*
Sun (thought): *pretends not to understand* Your Majesty, you are truly very intelligent... Even though this is caused by me, you don't have to glare so directly!
King: Sister, do you truly love Elijah?
Son of the God of War: ...
(I love these gossipers~ ♥ And gleeful Sun in that first panel is adorable. XD)
Sun: Please allow Sun to make a suggestion.
Sun: Why not let the swords in our hands determine right and wrong? Let's not spend any more time on battling with our words. That is the way of the knight.
Pink: This sounds familiar...
Son of the God of War: That's great! Warriors only use swords to determine the victor!
King: ...Then let it be so!
First step -- success!
(Hahahahaha, you know something is up when Sun suggests dealing with this through a sword battle.)
Leaf: Sun, don't be too depressed. There are more trees in the forest. Even if you can't marry the princess, it's okay.
Storm: My relationship with Elijah is not bad. I'll tell him to go easy on you.
Blaze: If the Son of the God of War dares to punch you too much, I'll never be done with him!
Earth: S-Sun, don't worry. Even if it's against the rules, I w-will help you defend against any fatal blows... Even though I will have to defend a lot, I will never give up on saving you!
Sun: ...Can't you all have more confidence in me?
Good, warm-hearted faction: We do! We believe in your ability to recover. They won't be able to kill you! So we have the utmost confidence letting you go into the battle!
Cruel, cold-hearted faction: *indifference indifference*
Why is it that I don't feel cold from the indifference the "cruel, cold-hearted" faction is regarding me with..."
The next day after the coronation...
(Hahaha, that's because you would rather everyone shut up, Sun. XDDD;;; Seriously, a sword battle? Of course they would respond in such a way! I laughed. XDD;;;)
As I expected, everything I asked of the princess, she managed to accomplish. The decisive battle will be in two weeks. It is as I strongly requested, a three way battle. The last one standing is the victor.
However, the king has truly been angered (by me). In the letter, he even included a contract for being responsible for my own death and wants me to sign it...
It can't be that he wants the Son of the God of War to conveniently get rid of me?
Afterwards, it was time to find my good friend who is not a friend!
*bang*
Sun: I am sorry, dear brothers. Sun has been busy recently and has not been able to attend the meetings...
Earth: Don't worry, Sun! You have just been b-busy lately!
*sincere*
Earth: Really, don't worry! It's not like it makes a difference whether or not you're here!
Sun: ...
Sun: Knight-Captain Judgment, if you do not mind, could I ask for a little of your time? I would like to practice my sword with you.
(Hahahahaha, I love Earth's digs at Sun)
Judgment: As long as you do not mind if I might injure you, Knight-Captain Sun, it is not a problem.
*close*
Others: Oh no! Sun can't marry the princess, so now he is so depressed he is seeking death!
Others: Nonsense! Our Captain Judgment has no interest in killing a weak person!
Others: Exactly! Judgment doesn't abuse the weak...
Sun: ...
Sun: Truly, is my strength so terrible?! No matter what, I'm still alive!
Sun: And I've dealt with tons of undead creatures, so my strength can't be that bad?
Judgment: *smiles*
Judgment: Where should we go?
Under construction
(Hahaha, these knights are priceless~. And kyaaa, Judgment's smile~ ♥ And Sun's pout! Their interactions with each other outside of their official capacities~ ♥)
Elijah: Judgment Knight?
Judgment: What the heck are you doing?
Elijah: Eek!
Sun: I want him to marry the princess, so I need you to teach him swordsmanship. That way, he can participate in the battle.
(I looove Elijah's shock. XDDDD And how scared he is of Lesus, hahaha. It must be surprising seeing the Sun Knight and the Judgment Knight together, and Judgment must be particularly intimidating. Poor Judgment...)
The Cloud Knight in the Book Cabinet...Eh?
Sun: I should go find Elijah! Since I'm almost done eating my blueberry cookies anyway!
Knights: Good day, Knight-Captain Clo...
Knights: Eh?
Knights: Knight-Captain Sun? Book cabinet?
Sun: ...
Sun: The God of Light's benevolence encompasses the entire land, and His love reaches all corners, even the inside of a book cabinet... (the rest has been omitted)
*turned to stone...*
(I loved this part in the novels too~)
Welp, this was Rule 17! I also have Rule 18 which I will get up some time... Probably next week. I'm really loving this adaptation so far. It's really true to the novels, and what's even better is that it also adds more details to certain events. It is quite heavy on the text though with Sun's thoughts, but I really like how his thoughts have been adapted! (It's just that bold text is used a bit too much...)
Next chapter has a lot of Elijah getting shocked getting shocked by Sun and Judgment, Cloud making an appearance, and more of the Sun Knight Platoon! \o\
As always, rough translation, no proofreading except a quick glance from myself. =P Rule 17 only for now. Rule 18... to come? :'D;;

(Aw, Moon clutching his mirror. ♥ Also, the "shut-in" comment is interesting because Moon's title in Chinese includes the character 孤, which means solitary. His title is 孤月, which technically means Solitary Moon. So, Sun was basically saying that Moon Knight is a shut-in/solitary figure, though generally the solitary part refers to Moon's narcissism, which also uses the word 孤 in Chinese.)
However, that only continued until one day...
*laughs secretly*
*laughs secretly*
Sun (thought): What is he doing? The item is clearly by his foot, yet he can't find it?
*Half an hour later...*
Sun: ...
*search search search search*
Ah!
Moon: Thanks!
*sweet smile*
(Wow, Sun, your patience is quite something. XD;; You stood there and watched for half an hour? I'd have left... haha. XD; Awww, Moon's smile~. Leave it to Sun to be walking about with sweets in his mouth, hehe.)
Sun: Right... The benevolence of the God of Light encompasses this entire land, and the love among us is a gift from God. May I ask Knight-Captain Moon, if your lover's family were to arrange another marriage for her, would she accept wholeheartedly?
*emotional*
Moon: Of course not! Our love is more solid than gold! If she did actually accept, it would be because she has circumstances that she can't help!
Sun: Then, if a stranger says he will help both of you, would you accept?
Moon: It depends on what his aim is...
*Girlfriend is number 1! Long live love!*
Moon: But most importantly, he must not harm my lover!
Sun: The power of love is very amazing.
(Hahaha, ooooh Moon. You are crazy for your lover. I really like his expression here. See, Moon, you can do a prideful look really well. Just think of your lover and someone coming between you, hahaha. Also, I love that Sun asked for Moon's opinion on how to deal with the princess's marriage~. I don't think it was part of the novels since Moon was introduced a little earlier there together with Metal. Love live the manhua for cool details!)
Rule 17: The Coronation Ceremony and the Marriage Proposal Plan
(Hehe, Sun with a crown!)
*stare!*
Sun: ...
The princess is truly efficient. Elijah had only just returned drunk yesterday, and now today she has already come knocking on my door in person.
Sun: Brother Storm, may I ask you to leave us for the moment?
*super reluctant. wants to stay for the gossip*
*silently closes door...*
(Storm!!!!! Hahaha, he wanted to stay and listen to all the gossip~ ♥)
Princess: Elijah has told me your plan, but I will not support you!
Princess: You must think that my brother has no regard for my opinion and wishes to forcefully marry me to the Son of the God of War, right?
Princess: But. You. Are. Wrong!
*Disdain!*
*Condescending!*
Princess: I have agreed to the marriage. As a princess, it is my duty to sacrifice myself for the royal family!
Sun: Your Highness, I believe there is a misunderstanding between us. I once made an oath to the God of Light that I would protect each and every one of my holy knight brothers. So, no matter what, I will not harm Hell Knight.
*smile smile~*
Princess: ...
*in disbelief...*
Sun: The problem is, our esteemed Pope does not at all think of the holy knights as his brothers. If someone might hurt the Church, he would definitely show no mercy.
Sun: You should know that my relationship with the Pope is not very good. The Pope would not stay his hand on my behalf, and I am incapable of staying by Elijah's side 24/7...
!!!
Sun: If you were to marry all the way to the neighboring kingdom, then who will be able to protect Elijah?
Princess: ...
Score! Even if the princess is able to sacrifice herself, she would not be able to sacrifice her lover. It looks like Moon's motto of living for love can also be used on the princess who is currently in love...
*distressed*
*hesitating*
Princess: Y...You dare use Elijah to threaten me! What kind of representative of the God of Light are you?! You are clearly the representative of the despicable and shameless! Brother Sun was right about you!
Brother Sun?
(And so begins Sun getting called "despicable and shameless" by princesses. Oh wait, isn't Roland the first to call him this? XDDDD)
Hah! By Brother Sun, she means my teacher! Teacher's relationship with the palace is pretty good, so the princess directly calls him Brother!
Even though she should really call him Uncle instead... Teacher has never accepted getting called anything older than Brother...
*Hes...itating...*
Sun: ...What has my teacher said?
Neo: What is my student like?
Neo: Hm, in general, you could say he is a good person... That is, if you are not opposing him.
Princess: What if you are opposing him?
Neo: Well, you would still think he is a good person, but you would also wonder about your recent bout of bad luck, why you are failing at everything you do. When you drink cold soup, you will get burned. When you eat porridge, you will choke on bones...
Princess: But, how could you possibly get burned by cold soup? Why would there be bones in porridge?
(Neo~ ♥ And the cute little princess. Neo, you are really shameless, wanting everyone to call you Brother when you are much, much older... Haha, Sun's unimpressed face. XD;;;)
Neo: That is why, in general, my student is a good person, as long as you are not opposing him.
Princess: You are not at all a perfect Sun Knight and are even a despicable and shameless bastard! Even your teacher believes so!
*angry!*
Sun: ...
Sun (thought): Teacher! Your explanation is too poor. I would never use cold soup to burn someone. That is too obvious and problematic a scheme!
Sun: Your Highness, even if I do have a different motive...
Sun: Do you truly believe that I don't have the slightest intention to help Hell unite with the woman of his heart?
Princess: Don't you dare think that I will believe you are doing this for Elijah's sake.
*cold*
Sun: Hmph...
(Neo's expression~. Hehe, and I always loved the part where Sun corrected his teacher and said that he wouldn't use such obvious means... Instead of denying that he wouldn't do it in the first place. XD;;; The princess's anger is pretty cute, haha)
Sun: Although Elijah is one of the Twelve Holy Knights, this identity of his cannot be revealed, so he is merely a normal royal knight.
Sun: And you should know how hard it is for a lofty princess to marry a normal royal knight.
Sun: Truth to be told, rather than trying to think of a way for you to marry a royal knight, it would be easier for me to enter the battle personally and fight the Son of the God of War for you, Princess!
Sun: After all, I am the leader of the Holy Temple, the representative of the God of Light.
Sun: And, if I were to win, not only would I become royalty, under the current circumstances where the prince still has no children, my child might even become the next king. What is not to like about such a situation?
(Ooooh Sun. I looove his expression in this last panel! Also, I still find his new outfit very cute. Two thumbs up!)
*sigh*
Sun: Me, a person who is "in general" a good person, is actually foolish enough to give such a good opportunity to Elijah, and then, in order to think of a good plan, I thought so much that my head nearly split open!
*This...*
*sneaking a look...*
Princess: Then, why do you want to help us? Aren't we obviously in opposition with you?
Sun: You are not in opposition with me!
Sun: Although Elijah no longer wishes to be the Hell Knight, he has not harmed the Church either.
Sun: Although you are going to be married to the Son of the God of War, that is only the prince's plan. But even then, because the royal family's name has fallen and the Church's reputation is currently very high, as the king, his wish to elevate the royal family's reputation is understandable. I would not count that as opposing me either.
(The princess's expression is adorable here~)
Sun: Although you have listened to my teacher's warnings about not opposing me, you forgot to ask him about the kinds of behavior that would count as opposing me.
Princess: Then, what kinds of behavior would count as opposing you?
Tell me~. You have to tell me, or else I won't know how to avoid them~~~
*Older sister*
Sun: Then, I will give you an example.
Sun: Recently, a bastard actually dared to try to beat my vice-captain to death, and he also wants to steal my brother's woman.
Sun: He clearly doesn't have any regard for me, the Sun Knight. If I don't make him pay,
Sun: I would not be called Grisia!
(Oh~, so the princess is older than Sun? I don't quite recall how old she is... Sun should currently be 23 or so. Heh, the Son of the God of War... You crossed a line you shouldn't! The wings on Sun's outfit are really cute~. Less noticeable now.)
The prince is truly amazing.
Although this is the coronation ceremony he has been anticipating for ages, he has no intention of making a big deal out of this.
It is said that although the organizers of the coronation ceremony made suggestions, the new king only said flatly, "Father has already been decorating the palace for many years. It is extravagant enough."
Sun (thought): Only someone with a sharp eye would be able to tell that the red carpet has been changed...
*smile smile*
Sun (thought): ...Or maybe it has just been washed?
(Sun is definitely someone with a sharp eye, hahaha. XD;; And yay, the outside of the palace! The symbol on the outside... I'm thinking it is probably a bud of some kind for Leaf Bud... Or a flower?)
No wonder the princess was willing to marry someone she doesn't love.
Her brother was already selfless to such an extent, so it's not like she can say that she already has someone she loves, so she won't agree to the marriage, right?
Moreover...
The Son of the God of War was actually such a good-looking person!
I thought he would be the type with bulging muscles and a head of messy hair and clothes...
Perhaps the prince even thinks from the bottom of his heart that this is a good match, and that is why he is willing to let his sister marry.
Although the coronation ceremony was not extravagant, it was grand and solemn.
(Me too, Sun, me too... Despite being told several times in the novels that the Son of the God of War is lithe like a panther, I didn't picture him looking like this at all. XD;; I still thought he would be bulkier than this, but hahahahaha, who was I kidding. This is LSK. XD;;; The bulkiest person is probably Stone, and even he is not that broad-shouldered. I very much approve of the Son of the God of War's looks, hahahahaha. I like it. Also, I am so very amused over how Sun is smiling in all these panels during the coronation. Drastic difference from all the previous panels in the chapter.)
The important thing is, everyone is eagerly looking forward to the prince's coronation.
Pope: In the name of the God of Light, I declare Archer as the new king of the Kingdom of Forgotten Sound!
Because once he becomes king, it means a certain someone will finally be stepping down!
*clap clap*
*clap clap*
*clap clap*
*clap clap*
Although many people have relaxed because the fat pig king has finally stepped down...
My easy days of dealing with the "real pig" (the fat pig king) have ended. From now on, I will need to begin a long and arduous battle of wits with the "fake pig" (the new king) who is pretending to be a pig while he is someone who will devour even tigers.
*various gifts from each kingdom*
I just hope that I am not the tiger who is devoured...
Huh?
(The Pope sure has a lot of power! Haha, Sun is still smiling. XD;;; I know that Yu Wo didn't name the king until much later (I think, volume 5?). The manhua got to mention things much earlier once again since all of canon is already available.)
But this coronation ceremony was truly too rushed. Not even three months have passed between the announcement and the actual ceremony. That's why, although the gifts from each kingdom are valuable, none of them are real treasures.
Even the gifts previously celebrating the fat pig king's birthday were more extravagant than these.
*smile smile*
But, why is it that the king doesn't seem to mind? He even looks very happy?
Sun (thought): Don't tell me... he did this on purpose?
In order to fill up the treasury that has nearly been emptied by the fat pig king, the king prevented each kingdom from preparing anything that is too much of a real treasure by not giving them enough time... This way, the kingdoms would present jewels and things made out of precious metals.
As long as he plucks the jewels off and melts the gold swords and mirrors and makes gold bars out of them to sell, no one would be the wiser!
Treasures that are too well known would be easily discovered, so they would be difficult to sell.
*he~ he~*
Prince... No! You are now the fake pig king. You are truly amazing. You can even use such a devious way to acquire money! I am truly in awe!
If the Pope knew, he might even want to become your sworn brother!
(Haha, the money signs in the pope's eyes~)
*presents!!!*
*prideful prideful*
Son of the God of War: This shield is the joint work of a mage, a jeweler, and a weapons smith. It can defend against magical attacks, and it is also top of the line in physical defense. Even a broad ax would not be able to cut it down!
*oh oh!*
*oooh!*
*ha!*
King: Put it away safely.
Ah! This can be said to be the most eye-catching gift so far. Even the smallest jewel from the shield would equate to my salary accumulated from 20 years old to 40 years old!
(Well damn, that is one expensive shield. You should steal some of those jewels, Sun... And then retire, lol. The Monastery of the God of War must be rich! And ooh, I'm guessing the symbol on the shield is the symbol of the God of War~)
*provoking*
Son of the God of War: We, the Monastery of the God of War, have shown our respect to the king. I wonder what the Church of the God of Light has to present to the king?
Sun: Sun does not possess anything special.
Sun: But Sun presents this bracelet of holy light roses made by Sun. Each rose has received the God of Light's blessing.
(That bracelet is sparkling so much. XDDD;; Aaaand Sun is still smiling, hahahah)
Son of the God of War: Hahahaha! I didn't think the Church of the God of Light was so cheap!
Son of the God of War: Hahahaha!
King: *keeps his smile on*
Sun: Under the protection of the God of Light, Your Majesty will be forever healthy. If Your Majesty ever encounters any harm, Your Majesty may break one of the rose beads and thus gain the God of Light's blessing. The effect is equivalent to an Advanced Heal.
Sun: Also, the blessing from the largest rose here in the middle is equivalent to an Ultimate Heal.
King: !!!
(Haha, take that, Son of the God of War! I do love his expression here a lot. XD;; He looks so prickly)
King: *satisfied*
With this bracelet around, it will be like having a personal cleric who can cast Advanced Heal 18 times and Ultimate Heal 1 time. And, this is a cleric who cannot be bought nor immediately killed by the enemy. (There is a total of 18 small beads and 1 large bead)
Even though this is a gift from me, the king has no choice but to like it! After all, for a person of such a high position, the thing he is most afraid of is getting assassinated.
Also, this life-protecting bracelet can't be made by any old cleric!
Even someone like me with overflowing holy light needed to spend over a month on it...
I had to cast Advanced Heal a total of 30 times on average for each small bead!
For the large bead, I needed to use Ultimate Heal on it. In a single day, I can only cast it at most 10 times, and the only bead that was successful was this one!
Secretly adding the money the Pope gave for buying the present to my retirement fund was no easy feat!
Knight-Captain Sun!
(LMAO, that's why you made the bracelet, Sun? So you can keep the money for buying the present... Sun casting Heal here is super cute~. And wow, Sun can cast Ultimate Heal 10 times a day... Sun, you are crazy...)
Sun: Hm?
Sun Knight Platoon Member: There are several necromancers and undead creatures disturbing the town.
Sun: ...
Heh!
You damn bastard actually dare to scheme against me!
Sun: Necromancers have actually stepped foot into Leaf Bud City, bringing undead creatures into a place protected by the God of Light's blessing? This is blasphemous!
Sun: Listen well. Immediately mobilize the Sun Knight Platoon to deal with those creatures bereft of the God of Light's blessing. Protect Leaf Bud City well.
Sun Knight Platoon Member: Understood.
Son of the God of War: Sun Knight, undead creatures have appeared on such an important day. Isn't it wiser for you to personally see to it?
Sun: Please do not worry, Sire. Today is the coronation ceremony of the king, which is a day blessed by the God of Light.
Sun: Those necromancers who have not received any blessings will not have any chance of receiving any blessings. Therefore, my Sun Knight Platoon will, without a doubt, decimate them.
I don't at all believe any necromancers other than Pink, the specially contracted necromancer, would dare come to Leaf Bud City and cause an uproar. It must be the Monastery of the God of War that is trying to stir up trouble. He wants to ask for the princess's hand during the confusion!
Besides, the Monastery of the God of War has never been strong against undead creatures, so they wouldn't dare try to command high-leveled necromancers!
(So much text on this page... And it isn't just this page either. XD;; This is a wordy manhua, hahaha. Sun, you think a lot. XD;;; I totally forgot that there were other necromancers around other than Pink. I guess they were such small fry that I completely forgot about them, lol)
King: *emotionless*
Also, this is most definitely not the king's idea. Because the Kingdom of Forgotten Sound has long believed in the God of Light, the citizens are quite against undead creatures and dark auras.
I bet that this action of the Son of the God of War has actually made the king unhappy.
Son of the God of War: *barging on* Your Majesty, not only has the Monastery of the God of War come to congratulate you on your coronation, we have another request to make.
King: Oh? Tell me.
Son of the God of War: I have heard that the princess is talented and beautiful. She has my admiration.
Son of the God of War: After seeing her today, I have learned that she is even more beautiful than the rumors claim. It has further deepened my determination to ask for her hand in marriage.
*Entire boxes full of gold and jewels*
Son of the God of War: This is the betrothal gift...
(Dang, the Monastery is rich!!!! Heh, the Son of the God of War looks like he's in a pinch~. The king is not impressed that you ordered necromancers to storm the city...)
People (thought): The king is not at all surprised...
People (thought): So the king intends for the princess to marry him!
People: What a perfect match!
*hahaha*
People: What a pleasant chain of events since the king's coronation!
Sun: Please wait!
Sun: Sun is also in love with the princess. On behalf of Sun's deep love, please allow Sun an equal opportunity to win the princess's hand.
Sun is proposing?????
(I love the holy knights' shock. XDDDDDDD In fact, the king's and the Son of the God of War's shock is pretty priceless too...)
Storm: This is inconceivable. I thought that the first person Sun would propose to would be a statue of the God of Light!
*nod nod*
Only Judgment knows me!
The others actually think of me in that way...
Judgment (thought): I thought the first person you would propose to would be Ice?
Ice: ?
Son of the God of War: You bastard...
Random count: Sun Knight, if you have the intention of proposing, that must mean you have prepared a betrothal gift?
Son of the God of War: If you don't have a gift, you are obviously here to mess things up!
(Hahahaha, my favorite page so far. XDDDD All those wide-eyed stares from the "good, warm-hearted" faction, and then Sun thinking that Judgment "knew" him... Only for Judgment to think that Sun would propose to Ice, pffft. I mean, he totally would... And to think Judgment did it with such a calm face. Sun's expression is priceless. XDDDD Judgment's hand on Ice's shoulder, and the arrow pointing to it, hahahaha. XD)
Sun: Sun does not possess anything special.
Sun: So, Sun can only present yet another blessing from the God of Light to demonstrate my love for the princess.
<-Taught the pope how to make beads and earned 108 beads as the study fee
*moved!*
King: !!!
King: ...
King: *cough* These two are both good men! Princess, it looks like both of them are serious about you. What are your thoughts?
Princess: ...
*appears*
Elijah: Your Majesty.
Elijah: I am the one who is truly in love with the princess.
Elijah: The princess and I-I love each other!
(The princess is not impressed with the king. XD;; And wow, the pope was able to make 108 beads! He is quite powerful indeed. And you go Elijah! \o\)
King: ...
Princess: *silently admitting*
People: Really? The princess had someone she liked?
People: And he is only a knight?
Knight adviser: Elijah, don't speak nonsense!
Knight adviser: The princess is not someone you are worthy of!
Storm: That elderly knight in the back has always liked Elijah and has taught him many things. He is practically like half a teacher to him.
(Awww, Elijah's appealing face. XDDD;;; Also, pfft, Storm, you sure know all the gossip!)
Hehe! I never thought there was such a relationship! If so, then Elijah's competitive ability has risen much higher.
Blaze: I never thought that Elijah had it in him... But even more unbelievable is that Sun has a thing with the princess.
Blaze: No wonder I heard from the Sun Knight Platoon that Sun forced wine down Elijah's throat for no reason. To think, they're actually rivals in love...
Storm: Also, the princess secretly came to find Sun the other day. She probably wanted to explain about the affair, afraid that he would find out, right?
So it's not just my Sun Knight Platoon that is full of gossipers... The entire Holy Temple is full of gossipers!
You call yourselves holy knights? You might as well call yourself gossip knights!
Who has a thing with the princess?!
King: *glares*
Sun (thought): *pretends not to understand* Your Majesty, you are truly very intelligent... Even though this is caused by me, you don't have to glare so directly!
King: Sister, do you truly love Elijah?
Son of the God of War: ...
(I love these gossipers~ ♥ And gleeful Sun in that first panel is adorable. XD)
Sun: Please allow Sun to make a suggestion.
Sun: Why not let the swords in our hands determine right and wrong? Let's not spend any more time on battling with our words. That is the way of the knight.
Pink: This sounds familiar...
Son of the God of War: That's great! Warriors only use swords to determine the victor!
King: ...Then let it be so!
First step -- success!
(Hahahahaha, you know something is up when Sun suggests dealing with this through a sword battle.)
Leaf: Sun, don't be too depressed. There are more trees in the forest. Even if you can't marry the princess, it's okay.
Storm: My relationship with Elijah is not bad. I'll tell him to go easy on you.
Blaze: If the Son of the God of War dares to punch you too much, I'll never be done with him!
Earth: S-Sun, don't worry. Even if it's against the rules, I w-will help you defend against any fatal blows... Even though I will have to defend a lot, I will never give up on saving you!
Sun: ...Can't you all have more confidence in me?
Good, warm-hearted faction: We do! We believe in your ability to recover. They won't be able to kill you! So we have the utmost confidence letting you go into the battle!
Cruel, cold-hearted faction: *indifference indifference*
Why is it that I don't feel cold from the indifference the "cruel, cold-hearted" faction is regarding me with..."
The next day after the coronation...
(Hahaha, that's because you would rather everyone shut up, Sun. XDDD;;; Seriously, a sword battle? Of course they would respond in such a way! I laughed. XDD;;;)
As I expected, everything I asked of the princess, she managed to accomplish. The decisive battle will be in two weeks. It is as I strongly requested, a three way battle. The last one standing is the victor.
However, the king has truly been angered (by me). In the letter, he even included a contract for being responsible for my own death and wants me to sign it...
It can't be that he wants the Son of the God of War to conveniently get rid of me?
Afterwards, it was time to find my good friend who is not a friend!
*bang*
Sun: I am sorry, dear brothers. Sun has been busy recently and has not been able to attend the meetings...
Earth: Don't worry, Sun! You have just been b-busy lately!
*sincere*
Earth: Really, don't worry! It's not like it makes a difference whether or not you're here!
Sun: ...
Sun: Knight-Captain Judgment, if you do not mind, could I ask for a little of your time? I would like to practice my sword with you.
(Hahahahaha, I love Earth's digs at Sun)
Judgment: As long as you do not mind if I might injure you, Knight-Captain Sun, it is not a problem.
*close*
Others: Oh no! Sun can't marry the princess, so now he is so depressed he is seeking death!
Others: Nonsense! Our Captain Judgment has no interest in killing a weak person!
Others: Exactly! Judgment doesn't abuse the weak...
Sun: ...
Sun: Truly, is my strength so terrible?! No matter what, I'm still alive!
Sun: And I've dealt with tons of undead creatures, so my strength can't be that bad?
Judgment: *smiles*
Judgment: Where should we go?
Under construction
(Hahaha, these knights are priceless~. And kyaaa, Judgment's smile~ ♥ And Sun's pout! Their interactions with each other outside of their official capacities~ ♥)
Elijah: Judgment Knight?
Judgment: What the heck are you doing?
Elijah: Eek!
Sun: I want him to marry the princess, so I need you to teach him swordsmanship. That way, he can participate in the battle.
(I looove Elijah's shock. XDDDD And how scared he is of Lesus, hahaha. It must be surprising seeing the Sun Knight and the Judgment Knight together, and Judgment must be particularly intimidating. Poor Judgment...)
The Cloud Knight in the Book Cabinet...Eh?
Sun: I should go find Elijah! Since I'm almost done eating my blueberry cookies anyway!
Knights: Good day, Knight-Captain Clo...
Knights: Eh?
Knights: Knight-Captain Sun? Book cabinet?
Sun: ...
Sun: The God of Light's benevolence encompasses the entire land, and His love reaches all corners, even the inside of a book cabinet... (the rest has been omitted)
*turned to stone...*
(I loved this part in the novels too~)
Welp, this was Rule 17! I also have Rule 18 which I will get up some time... Probably next week. I'm really loving this adaptation so far. It's really true to the novels, and what's even better is that it also adds more details to certain events. It is quite heavy on the text though with Sun's thoughts, but I really like how his thoughts have been adapted! (It's just that bold text is used a bit too much...)
Next chapter has a lot of Elijah getting shocked getting shocked by Sun and Judgment, Cloud making an appearance, and more of the Sun Knight Platoon! \o\
