As the Kingdom of Great Britain grew stronger, Artoria's prestige in the kingdom grew, and some knights who had been waiting for the future of the kingdom joined Artoria's command.

Lancelot, Gawain, Geraint, Gareth, Ranmaroke, Gahaerys. One by one, the Knights of the Round Table, whose names have been left in Arthurian legend, gradually gathered around Artoria.

They observe the eight virtues of knighthood, and they have engraved the knightly declaration in the depths of their souls, so even though they know that the person standing in the limelight is a young girl, for the sake of the future of the kingdom and the creation of a prosperous world, they do not hesitate to hold the sword in their hand, and vow that the sword in their hand will be wielded by Artoria.

It was one of the most glorious times in Great Britain, where a group of virtuous knights gathered together, who sat at a round table on an equal footing, regardless of status and power, and who had no scruples about discussing the future of the kingdom, and who were still dependent on each other as brothers even after a quarrel.

With Artoria leading a group of righteous and heroic knights on the battlefield, and with the assistance of Charles and Merlin, the Kingdom of Great Britain rose like a bright star in the west of the European continent at a rapid speed.

But under the advice of Charles and Merlin, Artoria never used her elite army, except for several harassments from the Saxons and a temptation from the Franks. This made all the kingdoms on the continent ignore the kingdom around them, they did not know the strength of the Kingdom of Great Britain, they did not know that it was a tiger that hid its sharp minions deeply.

The Saxons, on the other hand, continued to plunder frantically in the north of the continent, but because the Frankish Kingdom and the Eastern Roman Empire attached great importance to them, they stationed a large number of troops on their borders, making it impossible for them to go south.

But the Saxons were still notorious on the continent, and the name Snord was remembered by most people, who began to put it as the opposite of God, as the king of hell and the executor of death.

Everything is starting to go according to Charles's calculations, and now it's time for the harvest.

However, there is one thing that is different from the legend, that is, because Charles revealed Artoria's identity as a woman, so that the daughter of King Liao Dekuan, who was supposed to be Queen Arthur, did not become Artoria's queen. 、

After all, accepting a woman to become a king, although it was extremely rare in the past, it was not uncommon, but such a forbidden love was impossible for everyone to accept. However, in order to win over the county kings who have great power in the kingdom and know how to see the situation, Merlin finally suggested that Artoria and Gnevel be sisters, instead of becoming the queen of the kingdom as legend has been said.

But Artoria's own appearance was like that of a fairy, and if that peerless face had not been suppressed by the majesty of being the king of a country, I am afraid that the man who proposed to her would have circled the city of Lundy Newman.

But even so, among the knights gathered around Artoria, there were still not a few knights who fell in love with this girl, and Lancelot was one of them.

It's a secret that few people know, as Lancelot is so famous in the kingdom that he is known as the most powerful knight under King Arthur, and his loyalty to Artoria is unquestionable. And that burning gaze was also hidden in the depths of the knight's heart, and even if it was accidentally revealed, it was only regarded as a worship of Artoria, because such a gaze was extremely common among the knights below Artoria.

Artoria is known as the most wise and powerful king in the history of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and Lancelot is only one of them.

However, Charles, who was already extremely concerned about Lancelot, did not miss this. Originally, because of his own reasons, Gnavel did not become Artoria's queen, and he was still worried about how to provoke the kingdom of Great Britain to flourish and push it into hell from which it will never recover.

Otherwise, Charles has no way to persuade Artoria to follow him back to his own world, even if he already has a powerful force in this world, the Saxons, and has become a sage of a country, but in the cognition of Charles and the system, it is only a copy after all.

Even if Charles wants to stay here, it depends on whether the system is willing or not, you must know that Charles's life is now in the hands of the system, and he still has a task that looks like a joke [Rise of the Demon King].

So when he noticed Lancelot's burning eyes as he watched Artoria's back in a hidden corner, Charles breathed a sigh of relief, although Charles knew that among the twelve knights of the round table, in addition to Lancelot, there were also several knights Artoria who had admiration.

But who made Lancelot so famous in history, in the previous life, the story of him and King Arthur's queen Gnavelle is extremely famous, after all, this is also a rare example in European history of a prosperous empire because of a period of **. Moreover, as one of the three most powerful knights of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot's strength is also the greatest guarantee to push the future empire of the Kingdom of Great Britain to hell.

So Charles gave Lancelot a delicate dagger decorated with precious stones as a gift early on during a banquet in which Artoria was celebrating the defeat of the Saxons, but of course it was only a superficial gift. The delicate pattern on the dagger and the jewels adorned on it were Charles's true gifts, two gifts made by the devil that allowed Lancelot to listen to his inner desires and the voice of temptation from the abyss for free, anytime and anywhere.

And under the temptation of Charles, Lancelot has recently noticed that he could have hidden a good affection, which was about to be suppressed, and even exposed on inappropriate occasions many times, if it wasn't for Lancelot's quick reaction and good pretending to be his admiration for Artoria, otherwise his feelings that should not be disrespectful would have been exposed to the public.

However, Lancelot, after rejoicing that he had coped with it in time, did not realize that his original love for Artoria began to slowly turn into possessiveness and began to fall into his own fantasies due to the long-term unattainable situation, which led to his inability to control his inner feelings.

In the silence of the night, Lancelot silently took a short coat and draped it over himself, walked to the bedside, his eyes shining in the night, and stared intently at the palace in the distance, and a low, fiery murmur sounded in the room.

"Artoria, my most beautiful goddess"
