Type-Moon, a human love simulator

Kelar's new policy is too extreme and idealistic. Ninety percent of the nobles cannot stand it and will inevitably rise up in rebellion to overthrow King Arthur's tyranny.

During this period, the knights naturally took sides, either following Artoria to pacify Britain, or following the nobles to be pacified by Artoria.

However, most of the knights who chose to follow Altria were of noble birth. For example, several great knights of the Knights of the Round Table were great lords with vast fiefdoms. Now they have given up their power as feudal lords and actively cooperated with the new reforms, which is considered a betrayal of their own class.

If Britain had just been pacified and Artoria had already started to purge the representatives of the Meritorious Group, then the remaining people would naturally wonder if the king could not tolerate them?

Even if Altria can kill everyone, this idea will still exist. Sometimes you can't have both face and substance.

This is the political trade-off. Even if these two people have indeed committed serious crimes, Artoria can only give them a symbolic trial, and when others plead for mercy, she will forgive them and win people's hearts.

"Actually, this is normal. Gawain and Lancelot didn't get along in the beginning."

Kelar said: "Even without us as an excuse, these two would have broken up sooner or later. Gawain's targeting of Lancelot was too obvious, but Lancelot was proud of his status and didn't want to argue with Gawain."

Lancelot is of the same generation as Hector and King Uther, and by blood relationship, he is the uncle of Artoria and Kelar.

Gawain is the son of Morgan and the nephew of King Arthur, there is a huge generation gap between the two!

But if you were to ask who is the Knight of the Round Table that Gawain hates the most, it would definitely be Lancelot.

Because Gawain is a very outstanding and arrogant man, claiming to be the best person in the world, but Lancelot is better than him in everything. How can Gawain not feel genuinely annoyed?

This is just human nature, otherwise the "logic of comparison" would not become a human evil.

After all, in the whole of Britain, only Kelar, Lancelot and Altria are better than Gawain in martial arts.

Artoria is the king who rules all of Britain, so Gawain would not have any thoughts about it. As for Kelar, he is much stronger than Gawain, so he naturally would not feel jealous. But Lancelot is only slightly stronger than Gawain, not much stronger. This is fatal!

When someone is a little bit stronger than you, anyone with a little bit of ambition will inevitably feel jealous and want to catch up with him. But when someone is much stronger than you and you can't even begin to catch up with him, then you will only look up to him but not feel jealous.

Kelar said, "But Lancelot is not a man of good temper. If Gawain continues to be aggressive, sooner or later there will be a big fight between the two."

There has been a long-standing grudge between Lancelot and Gawain, which Altria also knew, but she didn't care and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"If the ministers are happy with each other, I'm afraid the king won't be happy, right?"

Kelar was stunned, as if he didn't expect Altria to say that, but soon he laughed happily: "Haha~ So you know everything! My little lion has grown up!"

"Yes, you are right, this is the way a king thinks!"

Kelar said: "As a king, you should be proficient in using the three ways of 'law, technique, and power' to control your subjects and the country!"

"You can tell the loyal from the treacherous without revealing your feelings, and you can reward and punish without predicting the truth... You have mastered this art to perfection."

Although it is an extraordinary world where one person fights against ten thousand, as long as one wants to maintain stability or even flourish, the art of controlling people is indispensable.

Kelar was so powerful that the turmoil that followed the establishment of the code almost cost him his life.

Finally, the sword of victory and oath, which symbolizes royal power and victory, was sacrificed, and the law was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Kelar lamented that law-making is self-destructive, that is, legislators often abandon themselves because of insisting on the inviolability of the code.

And after three years of fighting, Artoria pacified Britain with the sword in her hand. The power of a king has been fully gathered, and she has reached the peak in the dimension of "momentum".

Now that she possesses magic, spells and power, Artoria has become an unprecedented perfect king in British history, a king who can make a mediocre king like King Uther feel ashamed.

"Lily, you have grown up. It seems that breaking the sword was the right thing to do!" Kelar couldn't help but sighed: "That sword symbolizes an irreversible fate. Those who hold the Holy Sword of the Star will inevitably end up with a bad ending of 'not understanding human nature'!"

"Kai, have you had the idea of ​​cutting off that sword?" Altria couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Just as Artoria would not hide anything from Kelar, Kelar did the same. He said without disguising, "Because the timing is not right, you still need that invincible holy sword to pacify Britain!"

"In the timeline I saw, you will become a poor wretch who toils all day long for the country's paperwork, trying in vain to retain the irretrievable God Era, and who thinks he is fair and selfless, but is ultimately betrayed by his own people."

"Kai, so you saw it too?" Artoria covered her face with a bit of embarrassment and said, "No, no, that's not me. I'm not that stupid!"

"At first, I didn't think about it that way," Kelar explained. "I just thought that fate had changed, but Merlin said that fate remained the same. The problem might be with the sword of promised victory."

"Holding that sword will bring you countless victories, but it will also quietly change your common sense, making you childish and stupid, and eventually become a king who doesn't understand human nature."

Otherwise, why hasn't she seen Merlin in the past few years? She doesn't care about Kelar's behavior of changing the plot.

This old nightmare demon is not the stubborn old man who insists that "everything must go according to the script of fate". Although she believes that the general trend of fate cannot be changed, she can play with the minor details as she pleases, and she can play them as big as she can, which is just right for her to have fun.

Anyway, the song is over, the play is over, and everything will come to that one ending.

The experiences along the way seemed to be in line with Merlin's point of view. No matter what happened to Altria in the meantime, the general plot remained unchanged -

Artoria drew her sword and proclaimed herself king. Before killing Vortigern, she gained the recognition of the true king Morgan and gathered all the royal power of Britain.

Finally, he killed the humble king Vortigern, and in three years, through a series of battles, he pacified the entire Britain...

Isn't this just what fate has revealed?

Therefore, before Kelar and Altria left, Merlin stopped them and said meaningfully that fate cannot be changed and that the king is destined to be lonely.

Merlin, look at the big picture, not the small, unimportant changes in details.

"My original intention was to wait until Britain was pacified, and then cut off the sword in front of the Knights of the Round Table."

Kelar chuckled and said, "The result now is not bad, or even better... Lily, you have paid the price of breaking the Holy Sword of the Star, which symbolizes royal power, invincibility and victory, to inform all the people of Britain that the law is so important that it cannot be violated!"

"I think this might be a mistake!"

Altria smiled, turned her head to look at Kailar's handsome face, and asked softly: "Kai, will you abide by our agreement?"

"Hehe~" Kelar rubbed Altria's golden hair, even the strand of ahoge was not spared. However, the little lion, who always attached great importance to ahoge, did not resist, but just looked at him with a pair of big holy blue eyes.

"Lily, are you still worried about Merlin's old... wizard's prophecy?"

Kelar smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will. No matter what, I will never betray you, because you are the king I raised with my own hands~"

-

Aggiven of Iron, who was unaware of the pain, had a wooden face and read out Altria's will at the meeting of the Knights of the Round Table.

"…King's order, Lancelot and Gawain are stripped of their titles and knighthoods, but retain their seats in the Knights of the Round Table. I hope you will take this as a warning and refrain from any acts of usurpation."

Aguiwen looked at Lancelot and Gawain with cold eyes and asked, "Knight Lancelot, Knight Gawain, do you have the order?"

Overstepping!

This one word made the Knights of the Round Table, who had originally wanted to stand up for justice, lose their temper.

After all, they knew very well whether they were overstepping their authority or not. Now that they had been given a warning by Altria, and their leader had been singled out as an example to others, they suddenly felt uneasy and took the matter to heart.

Lancelot frowned, but didn't say anything. He just nodded dully and said, "Lancelot will remember this. Thank you, King, for forgiving my rudeness."

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at Aguguiwen, and asked angrily: "Aguguiwen, you betrayed me?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 84 The whole destiny has been revealed

"Sir Gawain, I am only loyal to the King of Britain. I hope you can understand me."

Even the Iron Agguiwen, who was insensitive to pain, still explained to his close brother: "Even family affection cannot affect my loyalty to the Kingdom of Britain!"

"Good, very good, Aguguiwen, you are very good."

Gawain glanced at him and said, "Gawain, remember this and thank my king for his generosity."

The title and honor were gone, but fortunately the seat was still there and the honors previously won were not taken away. For the Celtic warrior, this was not the worst outcome.

What Celtic warriors value most are status and honor, and they regard these two things as more important than their lives. If the two of them were kicked out of the Knights of the Round Table, Gawain and Lancelot would definitely return to their fiefdoms to rebel.

After all, that would be no different from killing them.

As for whether they can defeat Kelar, that is not something they should consider. The Celtic barbarians value honor more than life!

"..."

Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was too depressing, Gawain's sister, the only female among Morgan's sons, Gareth, who was known as the 'Princess of Beautiful Palms', said cautiously: "Brother Gawain, Brother Agguiwen is just too concerned about the Kingdom of Britain."

"And if the 'usurpation' was discovered by the king himself, I'm afraid the punishment would not be as light as it is today."

Hearing Gareth's words, Gawain's anger subsided a little, and he asked, "What was the king's attitude at the beginning?"

Agguiwen pursed his lips and said, "...The king originally wanted to put you and Knight Lancelot in Delin Prison for reform, depriving you of all honors and titles, in order to punish you and Lancelot for attempting to split the Knights and making decisions for the king."

"...Thank you, Aguiwen." Gawain looked at him deeply, then sighed and said, "Although I still cannot forgive your betrayal, I still thank you for exonerating me."

"Brother Gawain, this is what I should do."

"Hmph, no need for that. You're my brother, but didn't you make the decision for him?"

Gawain snorted coldly, glanced at Lancelot, left his seat and walked away.

After being betrayed by his own brother, Gawain suddenly realized that Lancelot was not as hateful as before. After all, the status and honor he had obtained now were the result of real skills.

Although it was difficult to admit that Lancelot was excellent, Gawain found that after his mentality changed, all his previous behaviors were unnecessary.

Comparison is evil, but sometimes humans also need comparison.

Therefore, the beast of contrast will be the great disaster that mankind needs to overcome.

Lancelot rubbed his forehead, revealing his signature miserable and melancholy face, holding the holy sword Wuhuai Huguang and said, "I'm going to go see Galahad. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Lancelot also left, and the remaining Knights of the Round Table looked at each other, feeling somewhat awkward.

When Gawain and Lancelot were in opposition, they all took sides with two people and made their own decisions, and now that Gawain and Lancelot were punished by Artoria, they naturally knew that this was a warning from the king to all of them.

However, it is easy to avoid conflict, but it is difficult to make them reconcile.

After all, the Knights of the Round Table are a group of extremely outstanding people with abilities far beyond ordinary people. Such extraordinary people naturally care a lot about honor and face. It is impossible to ask them to humble themselves and actively please others in order to repair relationships.

This is also the result that Artoria wants. As long as her subjects do not engage in factional strife and internal friction due to personal likes and dislikes, there is no need for a harmonious scene. Only when there are conflicts among the subjects and healthy competition, will they be driven by the king at the same time.

-

A few days later, Merlin came back, looking dusty, with slightly messy claw marks on his smooth face. For some reason, this small and familiar claw mark looked a bit like one caused by Fu Fu.

Well, I can only say that Fu Fu kicked well!

Fufu had already sneaked out while Kelar and Altria were busy with their official duties. This little kitty Mei Liangxin had fed her so many cat strips in vain...

Although Fu Fu doesn't eat cat strips at all.

There was no way. With Artoria by her side, she was under strict surveillance by Kelar and was not allowed to go out at all. In contrast, Fu Fu almost starved to death in Camelot, a city with a population of more than 100,000.

In the end, Fu Fu was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, and the little kitten found a chance to escape.

Although she would not starve to death if she did not eat, as a beast with a comparative logic, it would be very uncomfortable for her to not eat human emotions and growth, just like quitting drugs. After all, that was the essence rooted in Fu Fu's soul.

When Merlin came back, he didn't go to the Knights of the Round Table at all. She left two prophecies at that time because she knew that telling it directly to Artoria would not end well, so she took a roundabout way and said it through the Knights of the Round Table.

Anyway, it would be enough for her to just let King Arthur know about this matter. There was no need for her to go and say it in person and cause trouble.

In Merlin's eyes, the Knights of the Round Table were just a useful chess piece. This old nightmare was born innocently, and she did nothing at all. The King of Sarcastic in human history was badly harmed by her, and lived an extremely painful and miserable life.

Therefore, after the death of King Saber, the Nightmare Demon, who was so indifferent that he had no human emotions at all, regretted it endlessly.

Think about it, if even a succubus who has no human emotions feels guilty about this, how miserable must King Saber's life be to make a succubus who has no emotions develop emotions?

The female version of Merlin was born at a higher level than the male version. She didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt and went back to Avalon happily. She was the worst of the worst and deserved to be beaten!

"My disciple Arthur, I am back. I have traveled all over Britain and finally found a weapon for you that can replace the Holy Sword of the Star."

As Merlin spoke, he pulled out a golden holy spear that emitted a brilliant glow. The body of the spear was white, but the tip was like a drill, and it was golden in color. One could tell at a glance that it was filled with divinity that was about to overflow.

No, this can no longer be explained by simple divinity, this is absolutely a 'God'.

Merlin, who was exhausted from the journey, explained: "The Holy Spear, Longomyniad, is the most suitable weapon for you. You originally chose the Holy Sword, so this spear should not have been associated with you. At the fork in fate, you can only choose one between the spear and the sword!"

"But now that your holy sword is broken, this gun is the most suitable weapon for you."

The Holy Spear Rongomyniad is extremely powerful. It is the anchor that maintains the laws of geophysics. It nails the physics known by modern humans to the surface of the earth like a piece of paper, preventing the human world from collapsing.

In other words, the physics discovered by humans are only valid on Earth. Once we leave Earth, we have to adapt to the laws of other planets.

Obviously it was such a powerful weapon, but Altria did not immediately reach out to take the holy spear. She looked at Merlin indifferently and said, "Let's put the matter of the weapon aside for now."

"Master Merlin, do you still need an explanation for me?"

"...Ah? You know it after all!" Merlin also stopped laughing. She looked at Altria and chuckled, "Why do you need to explain? Arthur, can't you just accept the fact that it is your destiny?"

"No! I! Don't! Accept! It!!!"

Artoria could no longer suppress her rage. She grabbed Merlin by the collar and said, "Merlin, who do you think you are? A British prophet? Or the ancient Greek god of destiny? Even the king must obey your words?"

"I'm telling you, I will never accept the so-called prophecy you're talking about. I don't approve of that kind of fate!"

"Hehe~ Arthur, you're anxious and your heart is in turmoil." Merlin, who was grabbed by the collar, was not panicked at all. She even continued to speak: "You didn't even ask me what I saw, but directly denied it all. Does this prove that you are guilty?"

"That's nonsense. Why should I ask?" Artoria loosened her hand, glanced at her and said, "I just need to know that the so-called fate you mentioned will never happen."

Merlin stroked his collar and said seriously, "But as your 'teacher' and the sage of Britain, I still have to fulfill my responsibilities."
