"— — — —"
After an unknown amount of time, everything calmed down.
The battlefield had already been reduced to a wasteland, and the heatwave like smoke pervaded the air, telling others how intense the battle had been.
"Clang …"
Amidst the sound of metal, Altoria finally lowered the holy sword in her hand, calming down the magic storm on her body.
No one could see Altoria's expression because Altoria's back was facing everyone present.
However, even so, people could still see a little loneliness from her back, a little feeling of a hero in his twilight years.
Looking at Altoria like this, for some reason, everyone felt a little distressed.
Especially Lancelot, who had been watching from the sidelines, closed his eyes as he watched his two companions leave.
His face was full of heaviness.
His body exuded grief.
It was conceivable that the First Knight of the Round Table did not feel nothing at all about the departure of Modred and Trystan.
However, even so, Lancelot did not intervene in Altoria's punishment and watched everything unfold from the sidelines.
This caused everyone's attention to finally turn to the only one who survived.
"What? Do you feel pain? " Jeanne Alter was the first to break the silence and said sarcastically, "If that's the case, why didn't you help them just now?"
Although his spiritual core was hit, Lancelot's spiritual core was obviously only impacted and not damaged. Otherwise, Lancelot would have had problems long ago.
Now, since Lancelot could still stand and mourn for his companions, it proved that he was not exhausted. If he wanted to, he could still make a move.
However, Lancelot did not make a move from beginning to end.
The reason was simple.
"This is their way of showing loyalty. I have no right to intervene."
Lancelot said in a deep voice.
"Showing loyalty?"
Silent Serenity was a little stunned.
“.....”
Matthew lowered her eyes, as if she could understand because she was also a Knight of the Round Table.
Rozen also did not say anything and watched silently.
Only Jeanne Alter frowned.
"Is that considered loyalty?" Alter said noncommittally, "Is the way you Knights of the Round Table show your loyalty by sacrificing yourself for the Lion King?"
Obviously, Alter thought that the loyalty Lancelot mentioned referred to Modred and Trystan not hesitating to sacrifice their lives in order to carry out the mission given by the Lion King.
However, this caused Lancelot to have an unexpected and intense reaction.
"We Knights of the Round Table are loyal to King Arthur! Not some Lion King! "
Lancelot raised his head abruptly and shouted loudly.
“.....！”
Everyone was shocked by Lancelot's shout.
“.....”
Altoria was the only one with her back to everyone. She did not move at all as if she did not hear the words.
However, this did not stop Lancelot from venting.
"Why do you think we, the Round Table, serve the Lion King?" Lancelot's emotions were exposed as he shouted desperately, "It is not because of the Lion King's ideals, but because he is our King!"
"Trystan regretted leaving the Round Table before his death and leaving behind curse-like words. Therefore, he swore to fulfill his unfulfilled loyalty and fight for the King no matter what!"
"Although Modred is a Rebellious Knight, she has more intense feelings for our King than anyone else. Towards the King, she only has two choices. She can either be loyal to the end or rebel to the end. After witnessing the Lion King's extraordinary divinity, she chose the former. For this reason, she is willing to be the Lion King's hound, even if she does not have the right to live in the Holy Capital!"
"I, and the Round Table, will only be loyal to King Arthur from the beginning. We are not the self-proclaimed Lion King!"
"We are all trying to fulfill our unfulfilled regrets in our lives, so …!"
Lancelot said until here and then lowered his head in pain.
Looking at him like this, everyone was silent.
"I see …"
"I was wondering why the Round Table would choose to be loyal to the Lion King …"
"So this is the reason …"
Roman, Da Vinci, and Olga Marie sighed in Chaldea.
Before this, everyone had been wondering why the glorious, noble, and upright Round Table Knights would serve the Lion King and do such a heinous thing.
Now, everyone understood that the Round Table Knights did not lose their conscience, nor did they fall. They were just imprisoned by their remorse in their lives.
Just like what Rozen had said before, the Round Table was also human. They had their own thoughts, so they had their own opinions.
Lancelot told everyone that the Round Table Knights served the Lion King for no other reason than to fulfill their dying wishes in their lives.
Even Lancelot was the same.
After all, when he was alive, Lancelot had an affair with the Princess Consort and broke off relations with King Arthur. He even killed his companions, which led to the collapse of the Round Table and the end of King Arthur. In the end, in order to save King Arthur, he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles. However, because he was stopped by Gawain, who hated him, he could only fight with Gawain until sunset.
By the time he killed Gawain, who had lost the protection of the sun, and went to support King Arthur, King Arthur was already beyond saving.
In the end, he did not make it in time and regretted it for the rest of his life.
This First Knight of the Round Table did not fulfill his duty as a knight, nor did he protect his king. In the end, he lived in pain and could not be freed.
Under such circumstances, Altoria appeared, called herself the Lion King, and summoned the Knights of the Round Table. The Knights of the Round Table, including Lancelot, who still had remorse, of course made up their minds to follow the Lion King forever.
For this reason, Trystan gave up his selfishness and got the blessing of Reversal. Modred did not hesitate to use his soul to gain power and got the blessing of Out of Control. Even Lancelot, in order not to be confused by righteousness, vowed to see the big picture from his own perspective, and got the blessing of Tragic.
All of this was for King Arthur, for his loyalty.
Perhaps, even Gawain was the same.
Because he was blinded by hatred, he stopped Lancelot, who came to rescue King Arthur, which led to King Arthur's death. Gawain regretted it until he died.
Therefore, this time, Gawain was willing to protect the Lion King at all costs and become the guardian of the main gate of the Holy Capital. He prayed that the sun would never set and that he would never be defeated. Anyone who wanted to see King Arthur would have to go through him first.
"In the Round Table, except for Argent, who has selfish motives and who knows what he is planning, the rest chose the Lion King for their loyalty!"
Lancelot said with some pain.
"But the Lion King is no longer King Arthur. I don't know why he became such a ruthless and cruel king."
This matter must have become a sore spot in Lancelot's heart, so he just said it out loud.
It seemed that the Knights of the Round Table also didn't know why the former King Arthur became deified and became the current Lion King.
So …
"I think the reason why King Arthur became deified is because of the Holy Lance."
Rozen suddenly said such a thing.
This caused everyone present to be stunned.
