Justice. "
This was the evaluation that many people gave to King Arthur, the legendary King of Britain.
"As a new king who, from birth, has been planned to be detached from the mortal world, the combination of the blood of the British King, the ideology of the British Red Dragon, and the noble female blood that perfectly blended the two to create a mother's fetus, and then quietly born into existence. From the beginning, the King was given incredible responsibility and burden."
Unconsciously, Bedivere began to narrate.
"Because she is a girl, the King could not directly inherit the throne. In order to avoid the eyes of the people during her growth, from childhood, the King was taken to the home of the old knight, Sir Hector, and lived a poor life in her adoptive father's home. As a trainee knight, she was trained in swordsmanship and etiquette. Most of the day, she was also taught the King's teachings. Even though she only had three hours of sleep every day, she would still be infiltrated by the court magician, Merlin, into her dream and instilled the King's teachings."
Under such circumstances, the Knight King studied and trained endlessly, never stopping for a moment. Until the age of fifteen, when her father, Uther Pendragon, died, she, according to Merlin's fable, succeeded the throne by pulling out the Sword in the Stone from the National Church Cemetery.
"As long as you can pull out the Sword in the Stone, you can become the new Queen of Britain. With this in mind, the Queen came before the sword that would decide her fate, and Merlin's voice rang in her mind —" Before you pick up that thing, it's better to think carefully. Once you pick up that sword, you will no longer be human. You will be hated by all humans, and in the end, you will face a tragic death. "
In other words, from the beginning, the Knight King knew her ultimate fate.
However, the Knight King did not hesitate.
"At that time, Britain faced a cruel situation. Without the protection of the Empire, it declined day by day, and internally, it gradually fell apart. The people lived in a world bullied by the barbarians, and were in urgent need of a strong leader to rule them."
Therefore, in order to protect the people, even if she was abandoned, betrayed, and reviled, there was no turning back.
So, she pulled out the sword and inherited the throne. In order to hide her true gender, she married Queen Guinevere as a male king. However, she also confessed everything to the queen and decided to love her as a husband. Guinevere, who worshipped the King, also expressed her understanding and decided to support her.
From that moment on, the Knight King's body and face stopped growing and aging. Because of the power of the Sword in the Stone, the Knight King's immortal image was seen as a holy symbol by most people. He led Lancelot, Gawain, and the other knights to make countless contributions. Within ten years, they won twelve major battles in a row without losing a single battle, making the weak kingdom unprecedentedly powerful.
Although the Knight King's sword was broken in a battle due to violating the Knight's Spirit, Merlin brought her to a sacred lake and obtained the sacred sword, Excalibur, gifted by the lake elves.
Thus, King Arthur, wielding the Holy Sword, was born. In the eyes of his enemies and citizens, he was seen as a symbol of fairness and selflessness.
. In the eyes of the enemy and the people, he was regarded as a symbol of fairness and selflessness. He was always regarded as the right existence.
In order to win a war, it was necessary to squeeze the resources of a village to reorganize the armaments and counterattack and destroy the enemy before the invasion of foreign races.
King Arthur adopted this method of sacrificing a small number of people in exchange for protecting more people from being slaughtered. She believed that a king could not rule the country with a benevolent and indecisive mood.
Thus, when he sat on the throne, King Arthur never revealed his emotions. He treated his people with a clear sense of reward and punishment, without any bias. As a king, there was no deviation in his decisions. That was why he received the evaluation — — "Fair."
Even though she was actually quite sad and even sad.
But …
"The people began to fear the king's ruthless decision and began to question the king's act of killing the few to save the many. They even thought that it was a stain on the knight's path. Because of this, Trystan finally could not bear the pain brought by the figure of the king who had been silently ruling the country. He left the Round Table and left those meaningless words, which he regretted for the rest of his life."
Bedivere said in a low voice.
"Even more unfortunately, this statement gradually aroused the disloyalty of the other knights. They began to suspect that the king could no longer lead them. The powerful lords who used to be awed by the king's majesty also maliciously paid attention to the king's decision. Once the king made any mistake, they intended to collectively oust her from the throne. In this way, they could use their power for personal gain to obtain more benefits. Under these pressures, the king became more cautious in his actions and even more carefully disguised himself."
This was followed by tragedy after tragedy.
"In the tenth year of the king's ascension to the throne of Camelot, the relationship between Lancelot and Queen Guinevere was exposed by Argonaut. Lancelot killed Argonaut with a punch and was forced to flee. However, the king did not regard this as a case of treason. Instead, he thought that it was all because of the Queen's sincere efforts to protect her own secret. The king understood this, but the Queen's behavior violated the taboos of the kingdom's religion at that time, so he had to push the Queen to the stake in public. Lancelot came forward to forcibly interfere with the execution, took away the Queen, and killed two Knights of the Round Table in the confrontation between the two sides. This made Gawain, who was the elder brother of the two, fall into hatred. He vowed to break off relations with Lancelot, and the Round Table was on the verge of collapse.
"Then, one day, Lady Modred also took off her helmet, revealing a face similar to the king's. She told the king of her background and claimed her right to inherit the throne. The king, who knew nothing about this, was shocked by this fact. She also knew the rough fate of Britain. Inheriting the throne meant endless disaster. As a cyborg, Lady Modred lacked the qualities of a king, and her identity was sensitive. Because of this, the king rejected Lady Modred. However, during the expedition, the king entrusted the important task of protecting the kingdom to Lady Modred, hoping that this action would influence the stubborn Knight of the Round Table. In the end, she was betrayed.
"In the end, the king gave up the happiness of being a woman, sealed her heart in ice, and lost her human feelings. For the survival of the kingdom, she piled up countless wronged souls under her sword. However, all her efforts were in vain. Britain was tragically destroyed in the civil war. This result was too cruel for the king.
"In fact, it's not that the king has no feelings, it's just that she couldn't show it for the sake of others. In fact, she neither blamed Lancelot nor Trystan. Even though the king did not recognize Lady Modred's right to inherit the throne, she never denied that she was her own child."
"In this way, when she saw the fallen Knight of the Round Table, she would also think that it was her own fault. Personally punishing a former knight, a loyal minister, and a friend was undoubtedly a very sad thing for the king."
"Even if the king has now reversed, it would still be the same."
With that, Bedivere turned to Rozen.
"Master of Chaldea, I would like to implore you." Bedivere sincerely said, "Please become the king's strength that she can rely on."
"The king has guarded others all her life, but she lacks a person who can protect her."
With that, Bedivere left.
"Senior …"
"Your Excellency Rozen …"
Matthew and Serenity looked at Rozen with an incomparably complicated expression.
Rozen was silent.
Feeling his own contract with Altoria [Alter], Rozen looked at the palace in the city.
