Artoria, a girl who had just passed her coming-of-age ceremony, was called so by people in the country on that day.

It was a time of war, and the beginning of war was the fall of an empire, which was supposed to be invincible and waited for death under the invasion of many infidels, and in order to fight the infidels, the empire transferred the troops that originally guarded an island country.

That was the beginning, when her country lost the protection of the empire and could no longer stand on its own, and soon broke up into small kingdoms.

The attacks of the infidels, the inter-tribal infighting, can be described as suicidal acts.

After that, it was a long period of conquest known as the 'Dark Night'.

It was then that she was born as the heir to the king.

……………………

In the dim and damp cavern, there was a boulder lying quietly, and on this boulder was a golden and gorgeous long sword, the body of which was bound by black iron chains and fixed to the boulder.

Under the faint light of fire, the blade of the sword flashed with cold streamers, and a piercing chill continued to emerge from the long sword's body, and the entire cave became like an ice cellar.

The locked door of the cavern was pushed open, and the icy cold air instantly surged outward, and two men walked in.

One of them was dressed in silver armor, a blue cape, blond hair, and green eyes, and he was extremely heroic, definitely a model of that kind of visual kei.

The other was a slightly chubby middle-aged man wearing a red magician's robe and holding a sleeping baby in his hands, and he looked at the long sword stuck in the boulder, a little excited.

The gate was closed again, and only the two large and one small were left in the entire cavern, and after making sure that there were no others, the blonde man asked, "Merlin, is this the 'Sword of Chosen King' you said?" Aside from the ornate shape and nothing special, can Toria really pull it out and become the new king of Britain? ”

The magician Merlin listened to the young man's words, looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have already seen through the future, and in the near future Toria will definitely become an excellent king, she will lead Britain to conquer France, Rome, and then become a king who is praised, please believe me!" ”

"I've always believed in you, haven't I? Even when you told me that Tolia would be king, I didn't pick up my sword and cut off your head! Merlin, tell me, can a woman really be king?! "Uther. Pandagon, King of the Kingdom of Camelot, Artoria's father, a wise and valiant king, was loved and praised by the people.

He can be said to be a great king, but he also has imperfections, for example, he fell in love with the wife of his own courtier, well, because of this, there will be a future King Arthur...

However, he did this only under the prophecy of the magician Merlin, because Merlin told him that the remaining children of him and Iglain, the Duke of Cornwall, could become the legendary king, and in order to keep his country alive, King Uther gave his courtiers a green hat in an unauthentic way...

"Your Majesty, who said that a woman cannot be king? In the era of the Three Kings of Uruk, there was an Enkidu, who represented war and power as a woman, she was on an equal footing with the other two kings and accepted the love of the people, Rome had the tyrant Nero, she was the perfect and dazzling king, Toria would not be the first person to become king with a female surname, nor would she be the last, I promise. Merlin looked at the sleeping baby girl in his arms, a relieved smile on his chubby face, and then he walked to the boulder with the sword in it.

Looking at Merlin's actions, King Yuser did not stop him, but his expression was very solemn, and finally he spoke: "I believe you are because your prophecy has always been correct, but this time you must listen to me, Tolia will leave it to Eckert to raise, but you must be by her side throughout the whole process to teach her, and then hide her true surname, I don't care about other history or countries, because the king of Britain must be a man!" King Uther said that his right hand was resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he was waiting for Merlin's answer, and if he refused, he would cut off his head himself!

Merlin, who was originally walking towards the sword in the stone, stopped, and then he said calmly, "King Uther, are you destroying the future? Forget it, I'll listen to you, because if I refuse, I'll stay in this cave forever, but I still have a word to say, your decision affects the future of all of Britain, and if you have a spirit after death, you will regret it. Merlin walked over to the Sword in the Stone again, and then placed the baby in his arms on the boulder.

Merlin took two steps back, his gaze looked above the sword in the stone, because there was a human wearing black knight's armor, surrounded by black mist, his body was bound by chains and kneeling in the void, his head was lowered as if he was asleep, and the black viscous substance fell down his armor, dyeing the long sword that looked like gold in the eyes of others into pitch black...!

"Are you waiting? The one who drew the holy sword! I'm bringing her today, can you see it? Merlin said softly, his words puzzled King Uther behind him, and he thought that Merlin was talking to the sword in the stone, because he couldn't see the human in the black armor...

In Merlin's opinion, the holy sword is just the opinion of ordinary people, and he wants to call the other party a magic sword, a magic sword that even a god can kill!

A faint voice echoed through the cavern, and Merlin was talking to himself as if he were talking to an old friend, and King Uther even thought he was crazy, but at that moment a violent wind came from the sword in the stone, swept through the cave, blew out the torches on the walls, and plunged the cave into darkness.

The wind woke the sleeping baby girl, and she opened her eyes and looked with turquoise eyes at the sword, or rather, the knight kneeling in the void and bound in chains...

The baby girl reached out and babbled, shaking her arms as if to grab the man, but in vain.

"King Uther, do you see? He's woken up..."Merlin, who was talking to himself, suddenly said to King Uther, a smile appeared on his chubby face: "The person who has been waiting for thousands of years finally appears, don't you open your eyes and look at her?" How long will you sleep? Thunder—" The last words could only be heard by Merlin himself, and King Uther only felt that he was muttering something in a low voice.

Whoa...

touch

The chains tied to the sword in the stone shattered in a shudder, and at the same time, the chains wrapped around the black knight's body slowly disappeared, and a red light flashed through the gap in his helmet.

The sword in the stone erupted with great power, this power left a trail of cleansing in the cave like a knife, and the screeching sound caused by the slashing of the air made King Uther frown, and he suddenly realized that this legendary 'Sword of the Chosen King' was too weird!

Because the aura emitted by this sword is only darkness, sadness, anger, helplessness, and other dark emotions, it does not deserve to be called a 'holy sword' at all!

'Perhaps, the magic sword would be more suitable...' was what King Uther had in mind.

Magic Sword?

When this sword awakens, it is not a magic sword at all, but a god-killing sword! Merlin seemed to know what King Uther was thinking, and he smiled, laughed, and looked at the man who had risen from his slumber, and said silently, "Welcome back, Ray..."

The red light flashed through the gap in his helmet, and he looked at the baby girl who was lying on the boulder and smiled at him, and then the light disappeared again, and the aura emitted by the sword in the stone also came to an abrupt end, disappearing completely.

He fell into a deep sleep again.

'Sixteen years, sixteen years later you will be fully awakened, and then what will you choose...?' ’
