I can't tell you why, and I can't tell you rashly. Its expression was helpless.

Zhang Chai listened to it and knew that there would be no result if he asked again, so he simply nodded and said, "Okay, just forget if you don't say it." As you said, I would love her, even! I want to keep her for myself! However, on the premise of getting her, I want her to fulfill her own wishes. ”

Her wish has been granted. It rolled its eyes and fell to the mirror, 'Look.' ’

Zhang looked to the past and saw that the content of the 'mirror' had changed dramatically.

……

Another era.

More than 20 years have passed.

Under Artoria's leadership, the British Isles were completely united, and an unprecedented British Empire was born, and the surrounding countries were all subjugated by its might, thus ushering in the most peaceful period in British history.

Although more than 20 years have passed, Artoria's appearance has not changed, and she is as young as she was more than 20 years ago.

The knights and subjects around her were all getting old, including Bedwell, who died more than a decade ago.

Countless people have experienced birth, old age, sickness and death, but she, the king, has always remained the same.

She has become a god in the hearts of those subjects below, a kind of faith that will not be swerved until death.

Today, her vision has been fully realized and has become a real reality.

However, she was not happy about it, because she had experienced too much and seen too much...... The more lonely she became.

Although as the king of a country, it is natural to stand alone in a high place and endure loneliness, but so what?

Former subjects and friends are gone. Especially the loss of the other 'self' that gave her all this, so. In her opinion, now Britain. It was no longer the Britain she was guarding at the beginning, which made her not only feel tired, but even uncontrollable boredom with her current life.

If I had chosen to go with him, I would not have been as lonely as I am now......

In the dead of night, she would often hide under the bed by herself and think about it.

Although she knew that loss was loss, and no matter how much she regretted it, it was only in vain, but the longing and longing for him in her heart became stronger. This has been the case for more than twenty years.

"Wang, it's windy outside, do you want to go back to the dormitory?"

At this time. In the garden of the palace, there was a sudden sound of respectful inquiry, it was a knight standing behind Artoria.

"Bedwell?" In a trance, Artoria subconsciously called out the name.

“…… Sorry, it's not Lord Bedwell. The knight looked up in some dismay, "I beg all my respect, Lord Bedwell died ten years ago. O king, are you not in good spirits, do you need to rest? ”

"Turns out Bedwell isn't there anymore...... Artoria pressed her brow tiredly. said in a 'sudden realization' tone, knowing that the knights around her had died, but she could not face it, let alone accept such a reality.

"Yes. King. Looking at this king in a trance, the knight couldn't help but feel sad for her.

"You go down, I want to be alone." Artoria sighed softly unconsciously. Then slowly sit down on a seat in the courtyard and calmly admire the flowers nearby. Anyone could tell she was preoccupied.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." The knight rose from the ground. He turned to leave, but couldn't help but glance back at her.

Now King Arthur no longer conceals her gender, and has already disclosed her identity as a woman, so she has changed into a pure white and flawless women's knight's uniform tailored for her.

Perhaps, only a white dress can be worthy of the arrogant and noble Queen of Britain.

Since the world learned of her female identity, there has been an endless stream of envoys from various countries who have come to propose marriage, including the emperors of some major countries have also become interested in her, but she rejected the marriage proposals of the envoys of various countries, and even some princes and emperors who went to Britain to propose marriage in person were rejected by her with a cold and hard attitude.

Also, who is worthy of the invincible and beautiful King of Britain?

The knight thought to himself with pride and admiration, and then bowed away reluctantly.

The howling wind blew Artoria's coiled blonde hair away, but she didn't realize it, still immersed in endless memories......

After all, only by living in a good memory can she eliminate the lingering loneliness in her heart.

Paladin……

With the name whispering in her heart, Artoria removed the golden scabbard that hung from her waist and held it tightly in her arms.

It was the only thing he had left her, and she saw it as a relief from longing and a treasure that would make her remember the name 'Paladin' forever.

……

At the same time, within the vortex of roots.

"Artoria ......" Zhang Chai looked at the suffocating white figure in the 'mirror' in a daze, and his body rushed to the 'mirror' again without obeying the call, wanting to meet her again and take her away from that lonely world, whether she agreed or not, he would do so.

Wow -

The body passed through the mirror again, and Zhang Chai descended from the present world to that ancient era.

The next moment, Zhang Chai's figure appeared in the garden of the palace.

However, the absent-minded Artoria did not notice his suddenness.

Zhang Chai wanted to rush to her side immediately, but suddenly he had the idea of 'playing a prank', so he slowed down, restrained his breath, and quietly walked behind her.

Smelling the faint body fragrance mixed with the fragrance of flowers on her body, Zhang Chai was greatly excited, and couldn't hold back any longer, suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged her petite body by the waist.

"Who is it!?"

With Artoria's angry exclamation, the radiant holy sword in the golden scabbard instantly rested on Zhang Chai's neck.

"Uh......" Feeling the cold blade, Zhang Chai didn't dare to make the joke too much, he smiled rather embarrassedly: "It's me...... I'm Paladin. ”

Bang dang -

The sword and the golden scabbard slipped from her hand at the same time.

Seeing the person holding her, Artoria trembled violently all over her body, and even forgot what her breath was for a while.

Facing her clear green eyes, Zhang Chai gradually restrained his smile, and then tilted his head, "You won't forget me, will you?" ”

"How, how could it be...... Artoria's majesty as king was shattered in an instant, and her soft and delicate body almost curled up in his arms, and then he grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "I will never forget even if I die—you liar......"

"Liar?" Zhang Chai looked stunned, could it be that she had already discovered that his identity was fake? (To be continued......)
