Chapter 35: King Arthur

Charles looked at Artoria standing on the altar, his heart was slightly bitter, but when he noticed the resentment in Ryan's eyes in the crowd behind him, and the reaction from the ring he left on him, the corners of Charles's mouth curled, and the fingers of his left hand shrunk in his sleeve moved slightly, and a gust of wind swept across the earth with the morning light.

A fresh breeze blew in her face, making Artoria feel refreshed, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes in enjoyment, but she didn't notice that when the wind blew through her bun, her hairband suddenly fell off, and a soft gold hair unfolded, revealing her beautiful face in front of people.

Charles glanced up at Artoria, then turned his head to look at the crowd below who were stunned by this sudden situation, but sighed slightly.

"Artoria, I've been your teacher for five years, and this is the gift I gave you as a teacher. If the most fundamental contradiction is resolved in the first place, it is up to your own creation, and if this is the case, then Artoria, everything will be over. ”

When Artoria's peerless face was revealed to everyone, there was silence all around.

"It's a girl," a voice sounded with a relaxed tone, as if giving a sigh of relief. The joy in the voice was hard to hide, like the hope of suddenly seeing a turn in a desperate situation, it was a sense of surprise like rushing up to the sky from the ground, and the surprise was that there was also an unconcealable tremor in the voice that spoke.

"We don't agree with a woman being our king!"

"How can a woman do it to the point of taking us out of a difficult situation"

"Absolutely not allowed"

There was a sudden burst of raising among the nobles, who had abandoned their gentlemanly demeanor and kept shouting, wanting to convey only one thing: they did not approve of Artoria as their king.

It is true that this is a divine right that is equal to the imperial power, or even above the imperial power, but not all nobles believe in God. They only care about their own interests, and they can't tolerate a knight they have never seen before, maybe even a civilian knight, becoming their own king, stepping on top of their heads.

Of course, the main thing is that when the bishop said that anyone could pull out the sword in stone, they scoffed at first, but when everyone couldn't pull it out, they did begin to recognize the magic of the sword, but their approval could only exist when the sword was drawn by themselves, not by someone who had never seen it before.

So when they saw Artoria pull out the sword, they didn't have any approval in their hearts, but they couldn't say anything, after all, all of them had tried it before, and none of them could pull it out. But they didn't expect to get a turnaround, this king would actually be a woman.

Merlin naturally noticed Charles's previous small movements, and he glanced at Charles with a little dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything. But who is Merlin, just a slight movement in his heart knows what Charles is thinking, Merlin can't know the impact of this practice on the future fate on the spot, but Merlin already has the intention of letting Charles affect the established fate, so he let the situation in front of him develop.

Artoria had been a determined person since she was a child, and a trace of disdain and grief flashed in Artoria's eyes when she looked at the nobles below who were insulting her in every way just to prevent her from becoming king. She glanced at the nobles below with a cold face, and the coldness in her eyes made the nobles below feel a chill, and the originally noisy crowd fell silent after Artoria glanced at it.

"Since you doubt me so much that I will become king, why don't you try again."

Artoria thrust the sword in her hand into the stone behind her, then turned her head to look at the nobles below, and stretched out her hand to make an invitation.

The nobles below looked at each other, and after a while, a person walked up to the altar to try, of course, the result still did not change, no matter how hard the person used, even the clothes on his body were torn in the process of drawing the sword, and the sword in the stone was still inserted in the stone unmoved. 、

As the nobles stepped forward one by one to try again, they all walked down the altar with disbelief and disbelief in their eyes, and when everyone failed again, they did not speak, but only looked at each other a few times, and the situation before them made it impossible for them to say anything more.

The surrounding commoners saw that the nobles remained silent after another defeat, and began to be dissatisfied in their hearts, and began to accuse the nobles that they needed a king, a king who could reassure them, and the current situation of the kingdom without a leader made them feel uneasy.

And after all the nobles had ascended the altar again, Artoria walked to the sword in the stone with an indifferent face, and with a slight force on her wrist, they couldn't shake the sword in the stone with all their might, and the sword in the stone was once again held in Artoria's hand effortlessly.

The nobles opened their mouths but could not speak, and after so many attempts, they could not draw the sword, and only Artoria could easily pick up the richly decorated sword. The atmosphere of silence was not broken until a nobleman spoke.

"However, this woman's identity is only a commoner, a knight's squire."

The nobleman's words made a trace of disdain flash in the eyes of Ryan in front of him, it was obvious that the nobleman did not notice that this girl came here after Charles, could she be a commoner, Ryan was full of disdain for the group of short-sighted and incompetent nobles, he knew that this time he had lost the opportunity to get the throne.

But Ryan did not speak out against the current situation like other nobles, he noticed the expressions of the people around him, he knew that the stormy situation in the kingdom after the death of King Uther made the people of the kingdom feel uneasy, and Artoria drew the sword of the king, this status as the chosen king, so that the people were naturally and willing to accept this girl, so he was too lazy to do any more useless struggle.

Sure enough, as soon as the nobleman's words fell, Merlin's figure suddenly appeared on the altar.

"Who told you that Arthur's identity was a commoner, that she was the daughter of King Uther, and that she had the noblest blood of the kingdom in her veins."

When the old man's voice sounded above the altar, a trace of despair flashed on the faces of the nobles below, Merlin, as a restriction of the Kingdom of Great Britain, his prestige and status in the kingdom were high, and as the most trusted person of the dead King Uther, who dared to refute the words of Merlin.

The nobles below were about to say something, but the sudden burst of cheers from the surrounding crowd interrupted them.

"Let Arthur be our king! We see with our own eyes that God chose her, she is our destined king, she is the chosen one. ”

"We need a king, don't delay any longer, our kingdom needs a king!"

The sudden outbreak of popular support around made the nobles know in their hearts that they didn't have to think about anything today, and they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

"King! King! ”

Seeing that the nobles had compromised, the surrounding crowd shouted for joy. It's not just because of the birth of a king, the king is just a medium, and what people see through this medium is God's favor for Great Britain, and their king is given by God, so they are full of confidence and hope for the future of the kingdom.

Artoria looked at the laughter on the faces of the people in the crowd below, and the joyful expression, she smiled inwardly, and the apprehension and uneasiness in her heart began to dissipate after pulling out the sword.

"Teacher Merlin, Teacher Charles, do you see, this is the laughter of the people, I see this is the scene." Artoria's face was filled with laughter, "What I want to pursue, what I want to protect, is this smile." So, I'm sure I can't make a mistake! ”
