Artoria had come to this wild forest far from her homeland because she had heard rumors of dragons in the forest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Western countries where Artoria is located, the dragon has always been an evil and terrifying creature, and it generally acts as the final boss in the story, like the legend of Dragon Quest, which is also talked about by people, so the dragon slayer warrior is generally called a big hero.

However, there is another version of the legend about dragons in the English royal family where Artoria is located, dragons are not all evil, like the legendary founder of England, King of Great Britain, Arthur Pandoragon is known as the incarnation of the red dragon that protects Britain, as the descendants of Arthur, they have dragon blood in their body.

Although with the reproduction of generation after generation, by the time of Artoria's generation, the dragon blood in the bodies of most of the royal family members has been diluted to an almost negligible level, so for the legend that even the royal family members have dragon blood flowing in their bodies, few people believe it, but Artoria is an accident.

As a child, Artoria, who was just a little Lori at the time, had a special feeling when she listened to her mother tell her the story of the dragon, and when her mother jokingly told her the legend that their clan had dragon blood in their body, Artoria knew that this legend was indeed true.

I had to ask her why she was so sure of the truth of that legend, for that was the answer that Artoria's heart had told her, and her heart, which was terrifyingly strong compared to others, was the most direct proof, and that Artoria had sometimes had strange dreams since she heard the legend of the dragon from her mother.

In the dream she became a perfect king.

When the motherland was in internal and external troubles, the sixteen-year-old girl stood up, and under the guidance of the archmage, she pulled out the sword of the chosen king, which symbolized the destiny of heaven, from a boulder, and the girl was crowned king.

After becoming a king, the girl gave up her identity as a girl, in order to save the country that had fallen into darkness, and also to free her subjects from the sea of misery as soon as possible, the girl became a puppet named the king, she demanded herself with the strictest standards, both physically and mentally, her words and deeds were full of the king's demeanor, such a king is perfect not like all in the world, and even in mythology there is no comparable existence.

In that dark age, such a perfect king was so dazzling, she was as bright as the light of hope that pierced the darkness, so more and more people began to be attracted to the perfection of the king, and they gathered under the king's command, becoming the king's followers, guardians of their faith.

And for these followers, the king did not treat them as subordinates, but treated them equally, for which the king built a huge round table and formed the Knights of the Round Table, on that round table, there was no distinction between kings and ministers, and some were just like-minded partners who shared life and death.

It was a troubled time, but troubled times always gave birth to heroes, and the king and her knights began their immortal legend.

Ten years, twelve great battles and twelve victories, the king seemed to be the embodiment of the red dragon that guarded Britain, she guided everything with a perfect image, and handled affairs with terrible efficiency, and finally, the dark age was ended by the king, and the country began to become prosperous and powerful, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but ......

The kingdom eventually fell, and it all began with the forbidden love affair between the queen and the chief knight, which was destined to be unknown to the world, and when he learned everything, the king did not become angry, but chose to forgive them.

In that era, a king who did not have a family was insecure, and the king had to leave an heir to feel peaceful, but no one knew that the perfect king was actually a daughter, and the queen was willing to sacrifice her happiness to marry the king who was also a daughter in order to help the king appease the people.

However, the anger of the people, who did not know the truth of the matter, was not so easily appeased, so the queen voluntarily accepted all the responsibilities and chose to accept the punishment.

However, on the day of the execution, the chief knight robbed the queen from the execution ground, and the two fled the kingdom.

And so began the trouble, and after the king left with his troops, a rebellion began, and the prosperous country was once again divided, and by the time the king had heard the news, it was too late.

All the legends came to an end at the sword bar, and the king's heart was pierced by her child's spear, and the kingdom fell apart.

This was the picture of Artoria's dream, although it was a dream, but it was extremely real, and in the dream she also saw the birth of the legendary king.

The king was not a mortal from the beginning, but the incarnation of the dragon created by the first king and the archmage with the blood of the red dragon in order to save the country.

It is precisely because of this that Artoria is sure of the authenticity of the legend of the dragon's blood.

In the dream, Artoria experienced the life of the legendary king, and the dream was so real that she remembered everything that happened in the dream so clearly that it was so real that sometimes she wondered if she was Artoria Pandoragon or the legendary perfect king.

As a result, the young Artoria was gradually influenced by the perfect king of her dreams, and her words and deeds began to move closer to the words and deeds of the legendary king, as if the king who had died long ago had been resurrected in Artoria.

It's just that as she grows up day by day and her self-consciousness gradually improves, Artoria suddenly realizes that she is not the legendary king, and that dream is not a dream at all, but because the dragon blood in her body is too rich, so rich to the extent that it is almost comparable to that king, so the memory engraved in the dragon's blood awakens.

Besides, the kingdom of the king in memory has perished, so why do you want her to be the king?

Do it all over again, to save the nation that perished because of the king?

No, there is no need at all, not to mention that there is no way to travel through time and space to change history, even if you can, you don't need to do it, because the king does not regret his life, and the king already knows about his ending long before he pulled out the sword in the stone, but she still chose to become the king, it was a choice she made herself, and she worked hard for this choice, why regret it?

However, although she has never regretted it in her life, there are still regrets, that is, as a king, she gave up her identity as a girl and never had the opportunity to experience the life that a girl should have.

So, Artoria decided to fulfill the king's last regret, she would live as an ordinary girl, no longer giving everything for the country and the people, but simply living for herself.

Well, if you want to live for yourself, then follow your own desires, what is her greatest desire?

The girl named Artoria thought about this question for less than a second, and then had the answer in her heart, that is, to eat, and one day she would taste all the delicacies of the world, so the girl who was once the king became the current food hunter.

This time, when she heard the rumors of dragons in the wild forest, Artoria rushed here, partly because she also had dragon blood flowing in her body, so she was a little curious about dragons, but another reason?

Well, I heard that the dragon meat is delicious, so I really want to try it.
