157 Fateful Night II
Sitting in the tub, Artoria wiped her body, a slightly rough towel slid over her skin, she washed her body very carefully, because this day is very important to her, and soon she will be sincere, and soon she will fulfill her wish and become a knight!
Fifteen years of martial arts cultivation has made Artoria's body not as slender as other girls, but she has not become the legendary muscular girl, her figure is maintained very perfectly, except for the slightly barren breasts, she can kill all the noble ladies in seconds, because Artoria's special heroic temperament is not something that any girl can copy.
"Teacher, will you stay with me when I am an adult? Suddenly I feel that I will be very unaccustomed to you without you, and will you be very unaccustomed to not being able to take care of you? Artoria soaked herself in the water, and then said to Merlin outside, that she was really like a little girl who was about to leave her parents' arms, full of uneasiness and anxiety, and she was afraid that without Merlin, she might go down the wrong path.
Merlin, who was sitting outside the bathroom, looked at the sky in a daze, what he was thinking no one knows, and when he heard Artoria's words, his body trembled a little, and then replied with a smile: "What stupid things are you talking about, why did the teacher leave you?" A cute little girl like you, I don't feel at ease about handing you over to someone else, well, the teacher will definitely stay by your side, don't worry. β
That's right, how could Artoria be so easily handed over to you bastard, I've spent fifteen years training her, it's too cheap for you... He seems to see someone who has gone through a lot of hardships and finally got together with Artoria, and he appeared in the scene of taking the girl away, and the other party's expression must be very happy, right?
Fortunately, Artoria doesn't know Merlin's thoughts, otherwise she would have flipped the table, because Merlin's thoughts are unhealthy, and the purpose of your cultivation of Artoria is to change her fate, or does it depend on the surprised and joyful expression of some otaku?!
'Does that count as NTR?' Does it count? Although Miss Ben is a lily party, is it too immoral to dig into his wall so blatantly? No, no, according to the relationship, he is the third party, yes, yes, Miss Ben is just defending her harem in the end, this is not called NTR, this is not NTR, how can this be NTR...! At this time, Merlin smiled, how obscene and obscene the fat face with this smile was, if people who didn't know still thought that he was spying on Artoria taking a bath.
"Now, teacher, if you stay with me in the future, will you let others say anything? After all, you are the greatest prophet of the kingdom, and it is not too much for you to stay with a knight. Just as Merlin was smirking, Artoria's voice sounded again, and she was completely entangled.
In Artoria's eyes, Merlin is the only relative in the world, he is a more important and intimate person than his adoptive father Eckert, and he is truly unwilling to leave his side.
As it stands, Artoria is a little girl who is about to leave home but is reluctant to have her parents, and she is very emotional, but she does not know why she becomes very rigid when it comes to the country, Merlin has asked her more than once what kind of person she thinks is suitable to be king, and her answer is always the same.
King, you should abandon all feelings and not be bound by them!
Maybe it was because of this that she abandoned all her feelings in order to become the ideal king after she pulled out the sword in the stone, and after choosing to accept her fate?
In the beginning, she did succeed, a perfect king, who showed the way for the people, she was the light in the darkness that led everyone forward, and at the same time, she also attracted the attention of countless people, and then she was followed and admired by everyone, she was perfect, holy, and incorruptible.
But what about after that...?
The fate of the girl, Merlin knows, and her ending Merlin is also very clear, in fact, he has thought about changing it in his own way, but he found that everything is already predestined, only he can change Artoria's ending, and only Artoria can change him, maybe there are other people who can do it, but they don't belong to this world, and Merlin is not strong enough for others to mess into.
Artoria's question Merlin didn't answer because her worries were unnecessary, and Merlin had already established communication with another Lori with the Gluttony caste.
"The time is coming, and your 'proof crystal' is ready, you didn't patronize and eat and forget about business, did you?"
"Long-winded, I've been ready for a long time, and when that little lion pulls out the sword in the stone, proving that the crystal will be activated, he will get my approval and become the agent of the earth, so that the guy in the sky can't do anything, well, with the power of thunder this time, even if it is a true god, it can really change everything this time, right?" A voice appeared in Merlin's head, probably because the relationship between the other party and eating seemed a little unclear, which made Merlin a little entangled.
"You know how to eat! It's been eaten for thousands of years, don't you find it annoying? Forget it, Miss Ben is not as knowledgeable as you, but then again, you have to control his power, and he is easy to fall into a state of chaos when he suddenly gets this power, you don't want him to destroy this planet, right? β
"Of course I know how to limit his power, and the future earth is not destroyed by him, didn't you and I get the bento? Bastard, bastard, that bastard can actually do something to us, and when everything changes, I'm going to have to train him and let him know who the real master is! A gluttonous Lori suddenly threw away the cutlery in her hand, and said viciously, the delicate little face like a doll was full of darkness, probably feeling unrelieved, she picked up the roasted golden beef leg and began to bite it, as if eating someone's meat.
Merlin knew that rival very well, and he could guess what she looked like now, so he smiled and said, "When did you go from being a gluttonous and cute to a queen?" Forget it, those things are not something you and I can change, we can only look at himself, by the way, how is the next stage built? This thing has been done by you all along, and I haven't been paying attention. β
"It's completely over, just waiting for you to get all the actors together, it's finally this moment, in order to change this damn fate, you and I and the future of him have really done a lot of things, I hope there won't be any mistakes this time." Gluttony Lori threw away the very clean bones and licked her fingers.
"......" Hearing Lori's words, Merlin was silent, and after a long time he heard the sound of dressing in the room, he said with a smile: "It will change, I promise, we haven't left this world yet, if that dead otaku doesn't count, I'll definitely whip and Trojan horse candle training, I've had enough in this world, endless reincarnation, repeat!" It's really annoying to watch all history go over and over again, what about you, Gaia..."
"Isn't it different? I've had enough, so I'll be here today, and when he wakes up, he says 'good morning, welcome back' for me, and I'm not showing up for a while. β
"Hey, that's it, contact me immediately if there's anything wrong..."Merlin said as he severed the connection between the two, and just then, the bathroom door was pushed open.
The girl in the blue dress walked out, she looked at Merlin with some embarrassment, her expression was quite embarrassed: "Teacher, how can you prepare such clothes?" I'm not used to it! β
Artoria blames Merlin for not wearing a dress since she was a child, and Merlin treats her as a boy, so over time she feels uncomfortable wearing such clothes suddenly.
Looking at the beautiful Artoria, Merlin laughed and said, "You are a girl yourself, is there anything wrong with wearing a skirt?" Sure enough, my Artoria is the most beautiful, enjoy tonight, for after this night you will be abandoning your womanhood, Sa, beautiful princess, let's go, and see the gift I have prepared for you, a gift that you did not expect, and absolutely liked! β
β¦β¦ Walking on the way to the church, Artoria attracts everyone's attention, and her beauty even eclipses the moon in the sky!
Although she used to be watched by others, Artoria was a male at that time, and she was used to it, but this time she was very unaccustomed to it, because the eyes of passers-by were a little too hot.
"Well, look up, you have to get used to this kind of gaze, because there are many more like this, look at them, and smile at themβ" Merlin said as she walked beside the maiden, and obeyed him, and Artoria looked up at the crowd with a mesmerizing smile on her face.
In this way, the two crossed several streets to the largest church in London, and this was their destination, and Artoria's birth gift was placed inside.
"Teacher, why are we coming to church?"
"Of course, because your gift is here, let's go..."Merlin looked at the sky, then said with a smile, he walked to the church door first, and then looked at Artoria: "Come, open this door, and you will see the gift I have prepared for you!" β
The wooden door of the church creaked as the girl pushed it open, and she was stunned when she looked into the innermost part of the church.
The moonlight shone through the windows of the church on a boulder, and the golden sword shimmered softly but breathtakingly in the moonlight, and the sword in the stone was quietly placed in the church, waiting for its master's arrival.
Artoria looked at the sword, the long sword that had looked at her countless times, her heart beat violently, her breathing became several times, she turned to look at her teacher, but found that the other party was looking at her with a smile, and then said softly to herself: "Happy life, Artoria, do you like this gift?" β
Merlin's words were accompanied by the bell ringing at the top of the church..."I said you had a brilliant future, knight?" No, you are the prophesied king, the master of the holy sword, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to call you the 'Knight King', Artoria..."
