"That's okay."

The girl's face turned slightly red.

"As long as it is something Mr. Ian has tasted, I can eat it as if it is delicious food."

"..."

Ian didn't know for a moment whether he should answer this sentence - if he agreed, he would definitely be entangled in some kind of bad luck, right?

And at the moment when the two of them were facing each other in silence.

A report came:

"King, there is a knight from France outside who wants to meet you!"

81. The Sword of Rotating Victory vs. the Indestructible Lake Light! ([-] words chapter)

[You didn’t expect that there would be a knight asking to meet at this time. 】

[You didn’t even expect that this knight would come from France on the other side of the coast. 】

[You think this matter is not as simple as it seems. 】

Ian and Arturia looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

There is no point in avoiding him, meeting him is the right choice.

"Let him come over."

The young king said so.

"understood."

So, amid the welcome created by the aroma of food and the laughter of the knights, a man appeared in front of the two of them.

It was a man with a tall and straight body, eyes as beautiful as violets, and hair as rosy as roses.

Just one glance and you will know that this is a knight with extraordinary temperament.

"Hello, I am Lancelot, a knight from France."

[You find that his eyes are focused on Artoria next to you from beginning to end. 】

[This is different from Percival and Palamedes - they have more or less mistaken you for the real King of Knights. 】

[You realize that he is definitely not an ordinary knight. 】

[You feel that his strength may be very powerful. 】

Seeing that no one answered him, the knight who called himself Lancelot spoke again.

"If my guess is correct."

"you--"

Lancelot looked at Artoria.

"It should be King Arthur."

"And he-"

Lancelot looked to the other side.

"She must be the king's attendant."

Although he had expected all this, Ian was not happy about it.

"In that case—"

Ian returned Lancelot's gaze.

"Knight from France, why did you come all the way here?"

"Is it just to tell the king and me that you can tell us apart?"

Although he is a bastard who can completely control Artoria's emotions in private, in front of others, Ian will maintain 100% respect for her.

The king can be corrupted secretly, but he can never be desecrated openly.

If anyone tries to offend Artoria's dignity.

Ian was convinced that he would be the first Knight of the Round Table to draw his sword.

"Of course not."

Lancelot smiled and shook his head.

"If that's the case, it would seem like I'm making a big deal out of a molehill."

"Then what is your purpose?" Ian said reluctantly.

"It's simple."

Lancelot's hand stopped on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

It was a rounded end made of some kind of material.

Even though it is still under the sun at this moment, it still maintains a very calm state, as if it has never been illuminated by the sun.

"On the other side of the sea, I heard that the King of Knights was invincible after pulling out the sword in the stone."

"Those heroic deeds have even been woven into songs in the land of France, echoing over the palace all day long."

"but me--"

Lancelot pulled out the steady-looking sword from its sheath.

"This is the comparison object of this song."

"I often wonder, is this kind of thing really acceptable to me?"

"It wasn't until I embarked on a journey, crossed rivers and mountains, and met the real King of Knights that I understood the choice I was willing to accept."

Lancelot pointed the weapon in his hand at Artoria.

The sword as thick as a lake pointed at the young king.

"King Arthur, accept my challenge!"

[You completely understand Lancelot’s intention. 】

[He is a knight from France. He could not bear to be compared with Arturia's bravery by his subjects all day long, so he resolutely set foot on the land of Britain. 】

[This is why he immediately set his sights on Artoria. 】

[Because he and the first two knights who came here because of their fame have completely different purposes. 】

[Knights who come here because of your reputation will subconsciously combine the image of the invincible King of Knights with your tall stature, leading to misunderstandings. 】

[As for Lancelot, he was burdened with the idea of ​​avenging his previous shame. 】

[Then the image corresponding to the title King of Knights in his mind is naturally Artoria, who seems to be easier to defeat. 】

[You realize that Artoria is underestimated. 】

[You are a little unhappy. 】

"Lancelot."

Ian placed his hand on the Excalibur Galatine on his waist.

"You are a knight from a foreign country. There is no reason to challenge the king as soon as you come up."

"Oh?"

Lancelot moved his eyes away from Artoria and fell on Ian.

"According to what you said, do you want to stand in front of King Arthur?"

"Right on my mind."

Ian pulled out the Excalibur Galatine.

"If you don't defeat the King of Knights' shadow, how can you be qualified to face the King of Knights?"

"Makes sense."

Lancelot showed a gentle smile.

"So--"

"Let me defeat you called Shadow first."

[Your duel with Lancelot is inevitable. 】

[This is an excellent condiment for knights on reward day. 】

[The duel location between you and Lancelot is set in the center of the military camp. 】

[Everyone’s eyes are focused on the two of you. 】

[Only Arturia is worried about your body. 】

[She decided to prepare something outside the venue. 】

"Brother Gawain."

Gareth, who was munching on the barbecue, asked Gawain standing aside.

"Who do you think will win this duel?"

"Does that need to be said?" Gawain was still pounding the mashed potatoes in his hand.

"Of course it's father."

"Gareth, from birth to now, have you ever seen him lose?"

"No!" Gareth took a big bite of meat.

"Father seems to have never lost to anyone."

"Yes." Gawain nodded, "So this time will be no exception."

"...That makes sense."

While the brother and sister were talking about this, Arturia appeared behind them.

"Gareth, Gawain."

Upon hearing the voice of the King of Knights, the two men immediately turned around and became respectful.

"King." Gawain spoke quickly, "It was our dereliction of duty not to notice your arrival."

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to be so nervous."

Arturia comforted the two of them.

"I just want to remind you of one thing."

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Gawain replied immediately.

"that is--"

Arturia looked towards the duel place not far away.

"I want you to be prepared at all times, if you can."

"If something unexpected happens, we will be able to react immediately."

"Ok, I see."

"Ah."

Looking at Artoria walking away, Gawain felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Will there be any problems in this duel?

"Gareth, don't eat it! The king told us to be ready at all times."

"Eh?! Ming, I understand!"

[You don’t know what Arturia is doing secretly. 】
