A guard came to A-chan's side.He lowered his head respectfully, not daring to look directly at her face, and whispered: "My king wishes to see you. He is on the tower."

Because of the king's majesty, the knight remained polite to a female slave, but he snickered softly in his heart, feeling complacent that he could participate in the scandal about King Arthur.

He watched the back of the girl who lifted her skirt and rushed to the appointment, and thought in his heart—how can this poor girl appease the anger of her noble lover?

But in fact, King Arthur was not angry.

Looking into the distance from the tower, he was confused about his future—a confusion he had never felt before.

Because since he was a child, Merlin has been telling him that he will be king in the future.

He never doubted his way, and never wavered in his beliefs.until the eve of death.

What he clings to, what he takes for granted, is a dreadful oath that people see as ridiculous and impossible to keep.He loves his wife with the most standard etiquette, but she doesn't regard him as her husband.

What went wrong, why is he out of place like a cog in the wrong machine?

He looked at the land he ruled from a distance—the land he ruled temporarily—and wondered who became the new king after the battle between him and Mordred?

Is he the king that the world needs, or the king that the world decides to destroy?Because the world needs a new order?

When Ah-chan ascended the tower, King Arthur still seems to have not come out of this myth.Rather, she confused him even more.

"What are you doing, Ah-chan?" He asked kindly in the tone of a king. "There are rumors about you and Lancelot everywhere in the palace. But you should know that the love between him and the queen has not dissipated."

A-chan didn't speak.The girl lowered her eyebrows cautiously and apprehensively, as if she was not sure if she would bear the scolding.Because she "knows" that she is now regarded as the "king's lover", therefore, getting close to Lancelot will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the king's reputation.

—maybe King Arthur would be annoyed by it.

But King Arthur didn't hear the answer for a long time. He looked at the girl with her head bowed in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Have you really fallen in love with Lancelot?"

"It's not like that." A-chan quickly looked up at King Arthur.Her eyes met his bright green eyes for a moment, then she seemed to be burned by his handsome face, and immediately lowered her gaze in fear of being blamed.

Her voice was extremely dry, her white and slender fingers gripped her skirt tightly, her tone was tense like a bow string stretched—if the emotion revealed in King Arthur's tone was slightly wrong, he would immediately collapse in panic Duan said, "... Knight Lancelot said that I saved his life, he is very grateful, so he treats me as a close relative..."

"Dearest relative." King Arthur seemed a little amused, "He has challenged five knights for you in three days."

"...he said that if someone insulted and belittled me, he would stand up for my honor."

"If someone insults and despises you, why don't you tell me and let me handle it?" King Arthur was silent for a moment, "... Am I a king who cannot be trusted?"

"But," Ah-chan paused, and responded, "If I can marry Knight Lancelot, it is only natural for him to fight for me. If a husband stands up for his wife, there is no need to be alarmed." Where's the king's?"

marry him?

This sentence made King Arthur frown: "But you said that you don't love Lancelot."

A-chan was silent for a while, and then replied in a low voice: "...But, the queen loves him."

This sentence made the frowning King Arthur slightly stunned, "What?"

The girl bit her lip and said no more.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and said again: "...Because, because...Your Majesty, you said that you respect marriage. You said that marriage is not only love, but also responsibility. But I think, no Love, a marriage with only responsibility, what a shackles! What a painful torture? I hope you will be happy... So I think, if Lord Lancelot can leave the queen... ...She will definitely find out how gentle and beautiful you are, and fall in love with you!"

When she said these words, King Arthur noticed that her slender shoulders were trembling pitifully because of nervousness or anxiety.

"Lancelot has decided to make a clean break with the queen—" the girl kept her head down, as if she didn't notice where the man's attention was at all, "If, if you spend more time with her at this time , the queen will fall in love with you. Because, because... I think there is no man in this world who is gentler and more worthy of love than you."

"...I don't need you to do this." King Arthur was stunned for a moment, and sighed unexpectedly at this answer.

But these words made the girl who had been nervous and terrified suddenly stop trembling.

Her tone suddenly became hollow and numb like a ghost, "I know."

The girl paled, and responded: "I know you don't need me, Wang. But I just want... I just want, if, if you love me, Wang, I will, I will decorate it like your cloak Your majesty; like your long sword, defend your dignity; like your shield, protect your body and soul; if, if I can get your love... even this life, if you need it , then what is there to be nostalgic for?"

She was talking, but she still couldn't hold back the monotonous voice that tried her best to withdraw her feelings so that she would not look too sad, and gradually became crying. In the end, the girl finally didn't He could hold back his grievances in front of his beloved and cried out.

"But you don't need me... what you need is your wife, so I thought, I thought... maybe I can get her back to you..."

The way she was crying, and the sobbing and stammering poor explanation, made King Arthur open his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

He paused for a moment before softly saying, "I don't need Guinevere either."

King Arthur stared at the girl in a state of embarrassment, wiping her tears with the back of her hand pitifully, and was silent for a moment, "Thank you for loving me so much."

He said so, then walked towards the direction where A-Chan was, and hugged her tenderly.

The strength of the care is like the king carefully holding a bird in the palm of his hand.

"Thank you."

He decided to find a new path in this confusion.

After a long absence, King Arthur put on his armor again.

He has not participated in a contest for a long time, and he has no longer led an army to fight.As a king, he sits in the court and has many young knights in his prime to fight for him.

But what he wants to participate in this time is a battle that cannot be done by others.

And his opponent is Lancelot, the chief knight of the round table who has been leading the young knights to fight for him so far.

King Arthur could not challenge him as king, because a king versus a knight would be disturbing and destabilizing.

So, like Lancelot who participated in the contest, he changed the cloak representing royal power and used a blank shield without the British golden dragon coat of arms.

In this way, Lancelot will not know his true identity, so he will show mercy.

Just like the excuse Guinevere made, King Arthur also made the necessary disguise for "true honor".

No one knows the outcome of that battle.

No one knows the outcome.

Only a bird occasionally perched on a nearby branch accidentally saw King Arthur take off his helmet after the winner was decided.He showed a smile that did not belong to a prudent king, but a high-spirited man, and said to the terrified knight kneeling on one knee: "Why should I be so panicked! Knights fight. I challenge you as Arthur Pendragon, Lancelot."

He still seems to be missing the fierce battle that just ended - he once conquered the world on horseback and was invincible. At this moment, the long-lost blood is boiling, which makes him still a little hard to calm down.

After a while, King Arthur said, "I have decided to give up the throne."

These words made Lancelot forget etiquette in a moment of shock. He raised his head suddenly, looked at King Arthur's calm face, and widened his eyes. "king……?!"

"Don't worry, I didn't make such a decision because of you...Of course, you and Guinevere can't say that there is no influence at all. But, I think so. I made it myself— —the conclusion that I may not be fit to be king."

"I considered passing the throne to Mordred."

Considering that his meritorious service is at the bottom of the knights of the round table, but he was able to get the loyalty of so many people when he finally rebelled, his ability must not be as mediocre as King Arthur thought.

The blond-haired king held the helmet around his waist calmly, and threw out heavy news to Lancelot one after another, "...but I still feel that he lacks stamina."

"So, Lancelot, tell me, are you willing to take my place, to uphold justice for the people here, and to let the Queen do her duty?"

……

When King Arthur issued an order to hand over the throne to Lancelot, Gawain, Bedivere, Galahad, and Percival all opposed it very much, but King Arthur insisted on going his own way.

After confirming that his wishes had been thoroughly explained to everyone, he left the castle alone with a horse in the early morning of the next day, and no one was alarmed.

——Except for Ah Chan.

"I think even if you don't bring anything, you can at least ride a horse." Standing outside the stable, the girl pursed her lips towards him, showing a somewhat sly smile.
