"My daughter, on the day you were born, the whole forest of Brudian whispered your name—Artoria. ”

"My child, I am proud and proud to watch you grow day by day and become the embodiment of justice. But remember, we have always ruled our kingdom with wisdom and strength. ”

"I also know that you will use your great power when you are cautious. ”

"But the real victory is the power that motivates the people to move forward. ”

"One day, my life will come to an end. ”

"And you, will be crowned king!"

King Uther's soft call rang in Artoria's ears, and the maiden Yan Sù knelt in front of the red carpet, with her right hand on her chest, which was the most standard knightly salute. Behind her, under the steps, there were countless nobles and people watching the ceremony, and in the sky, flying dragons who had come to congratulate the gift, those huge beasts waved their wings, casting a huge shadow on the ground.

Artoria wore the thickest plate armor, and under the scorching sun, the surface of the metal armor reflected a dazzling light, looking holy and sacred. The princess, who knelt before the king to be crowned, almost became the embodiment of the Holy Light at that moment, which was pleasing and convincing.

"Child, from today onwards, you will be a real adult, a princess who can take charge of herself. ”

King Yuser smiled with satisfaction, and put the crown in his hand on the maiden's head.

Looking at the girl's resolute and beautiful face, the old king patted his daughter on the shoulder, smiled and said, "You will get a piece of territory you want, and then govern it in good order...... Just like I did when I was younger. When you have accumulated enough experience and are prepared enough, you will come back here and become the true king of Britain. ”

With her father's smile, Artoria straightened up. He turned around and stood with his father. Looking at the nobles and people cheering at the bottom of the steps, a happy smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Yes, father, I will inherit your will and become the true king of Britain. ”

The girl turned her head and looked at her father resolutely, and made a lifelong promise with a firm face, "I will protect our people from evil, and any enemy who wants to endanger them will be torn apart by me!"

King Uther smiled with relief. Patting her daughter on the shoulder, "I have no doubt about your determination. ”

The bell rang, and the melodious bell spread throughout the royal capital. It was a sacred bell that only rings during royal weddings, funerals, coronations, and other major events, and as the bell rang, the spirits of light flying in the sky sprinkled flowers in bamboo baskets.

Beautiful and intoxicating pink flowers fall from the sky, and a rain of flowers envelops this sacred ceremonial platform. The sight that was as beautiful as a beautiful picture engraved in the eternal memory of the smiling father and daughter......

"Your Highness?"

The maid's gentle call awakened Artoria from her slumber. Some of them shook their heads sleepily, and the events of the dream were still vivid.

Look at the back of your white hand. The girl sighed, obviously she had only been away from the royal capital for two years, and she went back to visit her father every year. But do I really miss my father so much? So much so that the scene from his coronation two years ago has been repeated three times in my dreams.

Under the service of the maid, she put on the dress of the princess and combed her long hair. Tidying up her appearance, Artoria looked at the wall clock on the wall and asked, "Has General Lancelotta arrived?"

"The general had been waiting in the hall ten minutes ago. It is said that it is about Nanhai Town, and I need to talk to you in detail. ”

Artoria frowned, "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"

"Uh...... It was the general's request, and he said Your Highness, you were too late last night because of the affairs in Nanhai Town. Don't want to disturb your sleep. ”

"This guy is always like this, he can't tell the order of priority," Artoria said, shaking her head, complaining about the guard who followed her.

Since her coronation, Artoria has gained a territory, a coastal province slightly closer to the north. She is working hard to govern the province, conscientiously trying to seek more benefits for the people, and running around to improve the lives of the people.

Fight the bandits, drive out the pirates, exterminate the bandits, and fight the floods...... It was only when the girl actually took over a piece of territory that she felt the difficulty and exhaustion. Tired from dealing with even a small province, Artoria could not imagine how her father managed the great city of Britain in good order.

Fortunately, she is not alone, and she is accompanied by countless loyal subordinates and wise teachers. The old wizard Merlin followed Artoria to Wanghai Province, and used his wisdom and knowledge to help the young princess deal with many troubles.

As for Lancelot and other young knights, they became Artoria's most loyal and core subordinates. She formed her own core of twelve loyal knights who had been obedient to her since childhood, the Order of the Knights of the Round Table.

These knights were all outstanding talents carefully selected by King Yusher years ago, and the wise old king had long been prepared for Artoria's present situation. With the help of the Knights of the Round Table and Merlin, Artoria was finally relieved from her initial clueless busyness, and gradually found her way to handle government affairs.

Today, Artoria is able to handle the affairs of her territory with ease, and even spends a lot of time every day on leisure activities such as reading books and fishing. If it weren't for some trouble in Nanhai Town recently, she wouldn't have had to stay up all night researching materials.

After taking some time to get dressed, Artoria left the bedroom and headed out into the hall. As a mature princess, maintaining graceful etiquette and tidying up clothes is the most basic quality, she will not deal with it casually in a hurry, and unkempt to meet her subordinates is not only a blasphemy against the royal family, but also a disrespect to her subordinates.

When Artoria walked into the hall, Lancelot was having a good conversation with a young girl. The girl's name is Gnevel, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Celtic, and she came to visit Artoria when she was passing by Wanghai Province not long ago, and it can be seen that the two of you seem to have a good conversation.

However, Artoria didn't care about this, she walked straight in and greeted the two of them.

"General Lancelot, good morning. And Wei'er, did you come to me so early?"

Lancelot took a step back and motioned for Gnavelle to speak first. The beautiful aristocratic lady smiled and nodded gratefully to Lancelot, in exchange for a smile from the handsome knight.

"Artoria, you're always so busy, it's rare for us to have a get-together, aren't you going to accompany me around your territory?"

"I'm sorry, Vier, I've been snubbing you for a while," Artoria bowed her head apologetically and said, "But the affairs of Nanhai Town are very important, and the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people are just around the corner, and it's really hard for me to get out at such a time." ”

She looked at Lancelot and said, "Maybe General Lancelot has time to accompany you?"

Lancelot was stunned, and quickly shook his head and refused, "Your Highness, I have military affairs in my body." ”

"It's okay, I'll ask Gawain to do it for you for a while. Anyway, Gawain has been relatively easy lately, and it is not impossible to do the work of the two of them temporarily," Artoria said with a wink, smiling, "I'll give you a few days off, and you can spend time with our beautiful Miss Gnevelle." Remember, as a knight of good character, General Lancelot, you must make Miss Gnavelle feel at home with the satisfaction and joy of being at home. ”

"This ...... Well," the young knight smiled bitterly at Gnavele's expectant gaze, how could he refuse?

"But Your Highness, the matter about Nanhai Town ......"

As he spoke, Lancelot subconsciously glanced at Gnavel on the side, and Miss Noble also smiled sensibly and left, "I suddenly remembered that I had asked Lady Lily for something before, and now I have to go to her quickly." You talk first, I'll come over later. ”

Lady Lily was the butler of Artoria's mansion, and the old woman was known for her harshness. It was clear that Gnavier was just looking for an excuse to leave and give Artoria enough space to discuss.

Seeing Gnavele's figure disappear from sight, Artoria turned to look at Lancelot, "It's okay now, what's going on in Southsea Town?"

Speaking of this, Lancelot's face was a little gloomy.

"It's very strict. ”

He shook his head, his face weakly sad, "We have mobilized all the medical staff to rush to the rescue in time, but the epidemic in Nanhai Town is still raging." According to incomplete statistics, more than 20,000 people have been infected in the entire Nanhai Town. ”

More than 20,000 people, that's almost all the people in this town.

Artoria couldn't help but clench her fists, "Have you figured out the source of the epidemic?"

"It's not clear yet, but the Intelligence Bureau has gotten some eyebrows," Lancelot said, handing over a thick book of magic, "According to the Intelligence Bureau's investigation, it has been found that this plague is similar to several terrorist attacks in the country in recent years, and is related to an evil organization called [Twilight's End]. And this book is the evidence obtained by the agents of the Intelligence Service during their search, the dark holy book that the cult organization believes in. ”

"Twilight's End?Dark Tome?" Artoria took the thick book and frowned, "What kind of organization is this?" (to be continued......
