"While I was saddened by the unfortunate fate of the King and the Princess, the Princess smiled and told me that she had understood all this and had no regrets in the slightest. Sometimes I feel lonely, but if I have time to talk to her, she is very satisfied.

"As a knight, I know very well that this will lead to endless trouble. However, I can't leave such a princess alone in any case. So I finally gritted my teeth and agreed to the princess's request, but only when she was lonely. If the princess needs my company, then just go out the door and lean against the wall, and I will know. ”

"I thought things would pass like this. But the next morning, when I met the king as usual, I found that I was no longer able to serve him with the sheer reverence that I had done before. After learning that my king is a woman, my king's every move touches my heart. Every day, I am eager to see the King, to hear His words, to defend all that the King has with all my life. I even wish that I could always be by the king's side and shield my king from all harm. ”

"The sudden feeling terrified me, for it was undoubtedly blasphemy against the king. I am only a knight of the king, and the only thing to do is to fulfill my oath of allegiance to my king. In order to dilute it, I began to meet with the princess more and more often, to talk and even have trysts. But every time I am with the princess, all I think about is the figure of the king, and the topic is inseparable from the king. Princess...... I must have understood that I was just using her as a tool to understand the king, but she never said anything, but kept smiling patiently and telling me where the king had gone today, what things he had done, and so on. ”

"After a long time, the matter between me and the princess was discovered. In line with the guilt I had always felt for the princess, I slashed all the way and fled back to my territory with the princess. I have been waiting for my king's repressive letter, which will at least make me die peacefully in the eyes of my king. However, my king forgave me and blessed me and the princess. I was in great pain, so not only could I no longer convey my thoughts, but the princess was also burdened by me. Blaming myself, I gave up my identity and territory, and I threw the 'too heavy lake' into the lake. ”

"My king, this is what has happened all this time between my subordinates and Her Royal Highness Princess Guinevere. Everything is the fault of subordinates. The knight knelt on the ground in front of the maiden and hung his head deeply.

…………

"Where are you now?" There was not the slightest emotion in the girl's cold voice.

"My king, Her Royal Highness the Princess, went to a convent and became a nun...... She said she would spend the rest of her life repenting of her sins. I went to see the princess several times, but she refused to see me once. The knight bowed his head guiltily.

"Tell me the location."

"Yes, my king. Do you need to be accompanied by a subordinate if you are going to visit? The monastery is remote and difficult to find, and it is easy to get lost if there is no one to guide it......" The knight's eyes seemed to light up.

"No, all I want is the location!" The girl's voice suddenly raised.

…………

"Yes...... My king. With a sad look, the knight reported the location of the monastery.

After hearing this, the girl turned around without saying a word and looked up at the sky.

"I am Artoria Pendragon, King of Britain, O Queen of the Shadow Country. I have come to your country this time to seek a dragon's beard grass, and I have no other intention. If you have such goods, I am willing to exchange all the things that your country needs, within the limits of my ability. As long as I get what I want, I will leave your country immediately and will not stay. ”

Taking a step forward, in a polite and solemn tone, the girl explained her intentions.

…………

"Hehe, the well-known Knight King came to my Shadow Country on purpose, it is my honor as the master."

With a charming laugh, an invisible door opened in midair, and a figure walked out of it.

"Allow me, Skaha, to extend a sincere welcome to all of you on behalf of all members of the Shadow Nation." The person who came was suspended in the air like that, smiling at us.

…………

The self-proclaimed Skaha is a woman with long purple hair and an impeccable appearance, and her fiery figure is completely accentuated by a tights similar to her hair.

"Wow, that's great, the legendary Queen of the Shadow Country, actually a big beauty?!" Ios on the side swallowed his saliva very unproductively.

"No, little brother, you want to say beautiful big sister." The woman's elegant figure slowly floated to the ground, and she laughed at the young man with a full voice that was no less than her figure.

“…… Not! I...... I know. Ios blushed and tilted his head in embarrassment.

…………

"Queen of the Shadow Country, I apologize for coming to your country without permission and inadvertently affecting the normal trial procedures." Seeing Skaha walking towards her, the girl said.

"Don't worry, Knight King." Looking at the girl with a solemn expression, Skaha couldn't help but laugh softly, "I knew that you and your companions would come to the Shadow Country a few years ago, so there is nothing out of the ordinary. Besides, I'm going to see you today, and that's what Merlin has been trying to do. ”

When I got closer, I realized that Skaha actually had a pair of extremely striking red eyes. While giving her master endless majesty, it also gave her vision a power that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

"Merlin? What's going on? Hearing the familiar name, the girl's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"On this note, please enter my palace first, and let's sit down and talk slowly." Skaha said and waved his hand casually, and two huge doors appeared behind him.

The door slowly opened, revealing a vast and richly decorated hall inside.

Skaha turned and led the way through the door.

…………

"Artoria, let's go inside." I whispered in the girl's ear.

"Hmm." The girl nodded, said in agreement, and took my hand behind Skaha.

Through the eye of my eye, I saw that Lancelot hesitated to step forward, but struggled for a moment before giving up, only following the girl from a distance.

I couldn't help but shake my head at the thought of what had happened between Lancelot and Artoria.

I don't have the energy to care about this for the time being, so let's get the dragon whisker grass first.

The tricky things have been happening one after another.

…………

When everyone entered the palace that Skaha had mentioned, the gate closed on its own, and the next moment it disappeared.

What used to be a door is now just a smooth wall with no traces.
