Chapter 386: Artoria

"Of course, the main world is powerful, this is the center of the heavenly world, the origin of all things in heaven and earth. In a sense, we are the most primordial world in the entire Heavenly World," the old wizard looked at the princess in front of him and said sternly, "Artoria, my disciple, do you know the story of the goddess of creation?"

"Uh...... Isn't that story well known?" Artoria asked, tilting her head a little confused, "The Goddess of Creation awoke from the chaos and created the current world of the heavens and billions of living beings out of nothingness. Later, due to the amount of energy spent on the creation of the world, the goddess fell into an eternal slumber and will not be awakened by anyone. ”

"Yes, it's a legend, but there's a deeper story hidden in this legend," said the old wizard, "and the reason why the main plane is the center of the heavenly world is because the goddess of creation sleeps in this world, but no one knows where she is. And this is also the reason why the main world is different from other worlds, and the gods and demons can be allowed to enter, and the theory of the goddess of creation is protecting the creatures of the main world, preventing those overly powerful gods and demons from poisoning us. ”

"I see......," Artoria nodded abruptly and said, "I see, but Merlin, you've been sharing these anecdotes with me lately, what's the meaning?"

The old wizard's wrinkled and dry cheeks showed a smile, and he looked at the girl in front of him with some pride, and said, "Forget, my child, in a few months, you will become a true princess, and you will have your own territory and army." And this qiΔ“ is just a preparation for you to inherit the great unification at that time, your future is to replace your father King Yusher to govern the country, then as the future leader of the strongest empire in the continent, you must be well aware of the threat of those gods and demons, because your future is bright. ”

Artoria couldn't help but laugh and leaned in to accept the old wizard's blessing. "Thank you, Merlin, and please help me as you do now. I'm sure you'll become a qualified protector. ”

"If this is your wish, I am not in a position to refuse, Your Highness," Merlin said with a playful wink.

Two days later, in the early morning, Artoria stood on the walls of the royal capital and handed a steaming cup of hot tea to her guard, Lancelot. Such visits were a common occurrence for Artoria, who had been a close princess since she was a child, and had loved to visit the homes of the inhabitants of the royal capital. And it is easy to mingle with the commoners, so that this royal daughter has been quite popular in the royal capital since she was a child.

As for his daughter's mischievous behavior, King Uther always sighed and complained to his wife and friends. But she never punished anyone for it, and many times, Artoria wondered if her father had acquiesced in her doing so.

Taking the hot tea from the princess, Lancelot smiled gratefully, bowed deeply and sincerely, and then took off his handguards so that the teacup could warm his cold hands. Heavy snow is coming. It was gray, but it was clear.

Artoria stood on the wall, looking out over the white hills and the avenue through the forest to Northern Ireland. Soon after. Her only cousins, Riddle, Prince of Caesar's Empire, and his mother will follow this path.

Of course, for Artoria, the cousin of the Caesar Empire, who always had a gloomy face, was really hard for her to like. What she was eagerly waiting for. It was her aunt, Queen Diana, the sister of King Uther and married to the King of Caesar's Empire.

Such beauty, such dazzling, and such erudition are simply the flowers of the royal family and the etiquette models of the royal daughters. Every time my aunt visits. Artoria had been taught a lot from her aunt, and in many cases, Artoria even thought that Merlin was not as knowledgeable as her aunt in certain thingsβ€”a comment that the old wizard could not know, of course.

"Do you see anything, Your Highness?"

"Nope. ”

Lancelot shook his head, took a sip of the hot drink, and advised, "You don't have to be so anxious, Princess Diana, they may be there in a few days." It's boring to wait. ”

Artoria turned her head and smiled at him, and the girl squinted her eyes happily, "It's better to wait than to go to class, and recently Merlin suddenly changed his routine and started teaching me some messy things...... How to identify male loyalty and love, I don't think I'm going to learn such useless things. ”

"Oh, well, if that's the case......" Lancelot shrugged his shoulders and couldn't help laughing, "I think Lord Merlin is a little worried, too. In fact, I don't think there is anyone in this world who can resist the charm of Your Highness the Princess. ”

The guard continued to drink tea, and Artoria sighed, noncommittal to the guard's assessment. She turned her head and continued to look into the distance. Then Artoria's eyes lit up, and she slowly lifted her chin from her hand and narrowed her eyes.

"They're coming!" she shouted, gesturing into the distance.

Lancelot immediately came to her, forgetting the tea bowl.

Nodding with some admiration, Lancelot said, "Good eyesight, Your Highness Princess, you will definitely be able to become a qualified warrior." ”

"Gawain!" Lancelot shouted, and the other soldier quickly straightened up. "Go and tell King XiΓ , Princess Diana and Prince Riddle are on their way, and they will be there in an hour. ”

"Yes, Captain," replied the young soldier, with a salute.

"I'll come, I'll tell my father!" said Artoria, already running.

Gawain hesitated to look at his superior, Lancelot, but Artoria had already taken the lead. She rushed down the steps, her light body leaping slightly, and flew directly over the city.

The swift wind swept past her ears, blowing the girl's golden hair in her ears, tickling. The girl laughed, embraced the sky with open arms, flew through the sky, rushed across the courtyard, and then paused abruptly before rushing into the throne room, and then slowly descended in front of the red carpet steps of the throne hall.

Today is the day when King Uther receives the representatives of the people, and he will listen to the petitions of the representatives and assist them as best he can. It was a strict court, and Artoria's pride as a royal daughter did not allow her to be rude in front of people.

Draped in a red cloak of rune cloth with beautiful embroidered patterns. Artoria pulled down her hood, took a deep breath, spat out a hazy white mist from her mouth, and walked forward. The two guards in front of the gate at the end of the stairs quickly saluted, turned sideways and pushed the door open for her. Artoria nodded at them.

Despite the high dome of the throne room and the huge marble and other stones, it was much warmer than the courtyard outside. Even on such cloudy days, the octagonal window in the center of the dome provides plenty of natural light.

The torch froze on the menorah on the wall, adding warmth to the room and casting an orange glow. The floor is decorated with an intricate circular pattern, surrounded by the emblem of Bully. But now, the people in the hall who were humbly waiting to petition the king in turn obscured the pattern.

King Uther sat on the throne of his majesty with beads and jade, his golden hair was slightly gray near the corners of his forehead, and his face was slightly wrinkled, but it was more of a smile than a frown, and it was evident that this was a very kind and smiling king.

He wore a beautifully cut robe, embroidered with shining gold threads on a blue and purple background, which glittered in the reflection of torches and crowns. At this time, King Uther leaned forward slightly, listening intently to the statement of the man in front of him, his blue and blue eyes fixed on him to show his attention.

It was a minor nobleman, and Artoria couldn't remember his name for a while.

Artoria knew who she was going to inform, but for a moment she just stood there looking at her father. She was the king's child like Riddle, but unlike the gloomy man, she considered herself more polite and more like a qualified king.

King...... The word touched Artoria's heart, and she thought of herself standing in front of the empty throne, listening to the ancient coronation music for herself, and then being crowned king at the blessing of Merlin, and Artoria suddenly felt a sour nose.

For if she were to be crowned king of Britain, then there was only one possibility......

Perhaps sensing his daughter's gaze, Uther glanced at the door, a smile flashing in his eyes, and then he continued to turn his attention back to the petitioner.

Artoria cleared her throat and took a step forward.

"Sorry to bother you, Father. But here they come, I see them! They can get here in less than an hour. ”

King Yusher's expression was a little stiffer, and he knew who "they" meant, so he nodded.

"Thank you for informing, Artoria. ”

People look at each other, and most of them know who "they" are. It was Princess Diana, a blood relative of the royal family of Breuz, who had arrived from the distant Caesar Empire to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony of the princess Artoria.

King Uther must have missed this long-time relative, and there must have been a lot to say between the two sides. So the people were ready to end the visit, not wanting to disturb the king's meeting with his relatives.

But King Yusah stopped them.

"Don't worry, there's always time to catch up with your loved ones. But I'm going to be busy, so until then, let's get the stuff done. ”

Artoria looked at her father proudly. This is why King Uther is so loved and why he always turns a blind eye to his daughter's "adventures" among the commoners.

King Uther valued his people and instilled this philosophy in his daughters, hoping that Artoria would live up to her trust in the future. (To be continued......)
