Chapter 27—The Future King

Charles stared blankly at the little Lori who was standing respectfully in front of him and ready to salute him, but his brain was in chaos, he thought about a lot of things about King Arthur, but he didn't expect King Arthur to be a girl or such a cute little Lori.

Charles had heard about a name called King Arthur, Atolis, the name of a Roman clan, and in his previous life some experts believed that King Arthur had Roman blood in him. Of course, this is just a family statement, after all, the legend of King Arthur has been circulating in the world for so long, but no one has ever been able to prove his existence, but no one has been able to prove his non-existence from historical sources.

But in Charles's previous life, as an otaku, he naturally wouldn't not know the girl in front of him.,Artoria.,Isn't this TM the heroine of an anime?,Do you want to do this?,Isn't the system what we said to be good to come to a world?,But this is different from what we said was good.,Why is it an anime world.。

"The world of animation is also a world, and the world is never the only one, when a branch appears in the long river of history, two worlds of different time and space will be differentiated from here." The system explained coldly.

After hearing this, Charles quickly calmed down the shock in his heart, and he knew very well that at this time when his life was still under the threat of the system mission, would he give up the plan he was ready to implement because he met his favorite anime character in his previous life, thinking too much.

Fortunately, Charles's stunned stupeness was only for a short moment, and he recovered with only a slight shock in his mind, and was not noticed by Merlin and King Uther.

"Princess, you don't have to salute like this, you're just a wandering poet, and I can't stand your salute like this." Charles moved his body slightly, avoiding the direction in which Artoria was bending.

"Teacher Charles, my father said that you are a great talent with a lot of wealth and can help the kingdom get out of the current predicament, so a talented sage like you deserves my salute, not to mention that you are my teacher." Even after hearing Charles' dissuasion to herself, Artoria bowed respectfully, stood up straight, and looked at Charles with a calm expression.

You can imagine a little Lori who is no more than ten years old, facing an adult with a calm face and no fluctuations, and from the tone of her mouth, Charles knows that the future king of Great Britain knows the current situation in his kingdom very well.

This made Charles couldn't help but take a few more looks, and sure enough, he was worthy of being a world-famous knight king, and he already had the qualifications of a generation of masters at a young age.

"Charles, please call Artoria Prince Arthur in the future, and don't call the prince in the presence of outsiders." King Uther looked at his daughter with satisfaction, and it was clear that he was also satisfied with his qualifications as an heir, and thought that he was more suitable for the throne than himself.

Charles naturally understood the meaning of King Uther's words, although there was no shortage of wise female monarchs in the West, but more often male monarchs, because it was generally believed that men could withstand more pressure than women, and would be more courageous. Especially in the current situation of the Kingdom of Great Britain, even if the female monarch on the throne has great ability, when she first ascends the throne, the people of the country will eventually be full of doubts and hesitant about the future of the kingdom.

What's more, what Great Britain needs is a monarch who thinks that he can lead everyone to repel foreign enemies, and it is obvious that men have a far advantage over women on the battlefield, which means that even if Artoria has the qualifications of a king, she must pretend to be a man, because it is easier to stabilize the hearts of the people in the country and gain their trust.

Out of the corner of his eye, Charles noticed that when King Uther said this, Artoria was still calm, as if she was just listening to something that had nothing to do with her. Charles knew that the Lori in front of him was not a three-no attribute, so he also guessed that Artoria already had a certain understanding of his future arrangements, and accepted it very calmly, which made Charles couldn't help but want to open his mouth to test it.

"Princess Artoria, don't you feel lost, you are obviously a princess, but you can only appear in the eyes of the outside world as a man in the future, you will lose the joy of being a girl in life, you can't be coquettish to others, you can no longer wear those beautiful clothes, and the heavy responsibility of the future fate of the kingdom will also be on your shoulders."

"No, because it will protect the people of the kingdom, and I will sacrifice myself as long as I can help people through this predicament, so that they can live more safely and no longer worry about war." Artoria looked up at Charles with a hint of determination in her eyes, and Charles saw a look of determination on her small and still immature face.

Charles nodded slightly, turned his head to look at King Uther and Merlin, bowed slightly and said, "King, Master Merlin, I am willing to become Prince Arthur's teacher, and I will do my best." ”

King Uther and Merlin looked at each other with satisfaction, knowing that Artoria had passed Charles's test, and that Artoria was willing to accept the job of educating Artoria. This made their inner tension disappear, after all, they thought that Charles had only been in the kingdom for a little more than a month, and there would be no sense of belonging to the kingdom, so they were also worried about whether a female heir would be able to gain his approval.

"That's good, Charles, I'm glad that you can take on such a responsibility, so that I can rest assured that I don't have to worry about whether my daughter can grow up to be a qualified king." King Uther, who was lying on the bed, said excitedly, because his illness caused the situation in the kingdom to suddenly change from a good situation to the current undercurrent situation, which obviously made his heart full of self-blame and pressure, and he was also full of worries about the future of the kingdom.

King Uther didn't want to see the kingdom he had worked so hard to hold on to for decades fall under his own care, so he had the face to meet his father and ancestors in the kingdom of heaven, and now his daughter had the support of Charles, which made him feel relieved at once, so that he only had to work hard to maintain the kingdom for a few more years, just wait for his daughter to grow up.

"Wang, don't worry, since I have accepted the status of becoming a princess teacher, I will do my best to assist her."

"That's good, that's good, by the way, Artoria will take your teacher out for a walk, and get acquainted with it by the way." King Uther smiled and waved his hand.

Charles naturally knew that King Uther had something to discuss with Merlin, so naturally he got up and walked in front of Artoria, and walked out of King Uther's room with her tender little hand.

The two walked silently in the corridors of the palace until they were about to reach the garden, when Charles suddenly stopped, which made Artoria, who was holding Charles' hand beside her, unresponsive, and she raised her head and looked at Charles with a pair of turquoise puzzles.

Charles was silent and did not speak, and young Artoria did not see the complicated look in Charles's eyes because of her height. It was a moment before Charles looked down at Artoria.

"Artoria, do you really want to choose to be the king of Great Britain, although this word represents the highest status of the kingdom and the most glorious title of the kingdom, but it also represents the heaviest responsibility of the kingdom." A low voice echoed in Artoria's ears, although she was full of doubts as to why Charles would ask such a thing, she hadn't already answered. But from Charles's deep voice and the eyes staring at her, Artoria knew that Charles really cared about her, so she didn't hesitate and answered him very resolutely in her own childish voice.

"I am willing to be the king of Great Britain, this is my unavoidable responsibility as the daughter of my father, and it is also my own choice, I want to protect the kingdom, I want to protect the people!"

The little girl's crisp and immature voice sounded in the aisle, it was so resolute, so determined, Charles's seemed to see the little girl in front of him become the girl in her previous life who was on the screen but made her blood boil, the same blonde hair, the same blue eyes, and the same look that wanted to save the people at the expense of herself.
