I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 34 A lie becomes the truth if no one questions it!
Dagonet.

This man is the legendary Joker Knight of the Round Table, known as the Joker because he made a ruckus during the tournament, causing King Arthur to laugh uncontrollably.

In the Arthurian legend, he considered himself a brave warrior and insisted on doing so.

In reality, however, he would flee at the slightest provocation or challenge from others. He frequently struck his shield to make it appear as if he were always in battle, demonstrating to the king and his knights that he possessed all the victories.

Now, this amusing figure from the Knights of the Round Table appears before Sua.

Upon closer inspection, Suya discovered—

Isn't this the mustachioed knight who suggested during the day that 'Hector' lead the cavalry to storm the royal palace and reclaim King Uther's remains?
Suya remembered the other person because those two strong, upturned mustaches, even curving into a semi-circular shape, were too eye-catching.

just,

Why didn't either Merry, the magician, or Lucan, the even more powerful master thief, notice that he had been hiding outside all along?
Knight, why are you even better at stealth than a thief?!

After a moment of stunned disbelief, Lukan was the first to recover, staring at Dagnite with a look of shock and anger, and blurted out:

"How will you be here?!"

"Why can't I be here!"

Dagnett turned his head, gave him a cold smile, and bluntly revealed:
"You want to kill us who are loyal to the king, you want the noble king to lose his crown, and you even want the virtuous king to become your puppet!"

"But you can't do it alone, so you want to deceive Miss Magician with your mouth full of lies and sweet words, hoping to get her help, right, thief?"

"However, the weakling you consider me, the clown you've always ignored, sensed your murderous intent from the very beginning, and recognized from the start that you are by no means the upright Sir Hector!"

"so--"

At this point, Dagnite turned his head, his face upright, his eyes filled with tears, and looked at Sua.

“My king, your most loyal knight Dagnite has been by your side from the very beginning!”

Hearing this, although Mary didn't feel there was anything wrong, she still looked as if she had just realized something, glared angrily at Lukan, and held up her five slender white fingers.
"What! Lukan, you actually dared to lie to me!?"

"If this amount isn't accurate, I'll eliminate you right now on behalf of my king!"

Lucan gritted his teeth and angrily pulled out the last five bills from his wallet, slapped them into Meryl's hand, then glared back at Dagnett and snapped:
"You're talking nonsense! You're just a coward!"

"You only followed me out because you were afraid of dying, and you only camped here to gather information beforehand because you were afraid of dying. You have absolutely no chivalry towards the King or Britain!"

"Do you dare deny it? Do you dare say it out loud?"

"Do those knights outside know you're here? Have you organized them to protect the royal carriage? You just want to escape alone again, just like you abandoned Sir Hector!"

Dagnite was truly hurt by this series of words, trembling as he clung to Sua's leg, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Yes, this is the real Dagnite.

He believed Lucan's lies because he was afraid of dying;

Because he was afraid of death, he deliberately brought up the attack on the royal carriage in front of Lukan and Suameli, forcing Lukan to reveal Suameli's identity and transform him from a knight who was 'loyal to the royal carriage' to a knight who 'made the succession to the throne his first priority', thus causing the knightly order to retreat.

He suspected that Lukan might be plotting to kill them, which is why he had been lying in wait here to gather information.

Dagnite could not refute any of this, and could only cling tightly to Sua's legs as if they were his last straw.

And then,
Lucan abruptly changed his demeanor, turning gracefully to kneel before Suya in front of everyone, and began to speak with a fawning expression:

“Your Majesty, I did not recognize you at first. Please forgive my rudeness.”

“I take back all my disrespectful words. Since you are the true king, you must not abandon your knights. And I, Lukan, as the knight who first stood by your side and protected you, I swear that I will fight to the death to help you ascend the throne!” Suya subconsciously reached out his hand, but after glancing at Lukan who did not make a move to take out money, he put on a stern face and remained silent.

Lucan clicked his tongue in amazement, staring at the scarlet dragon emblem on the back of Suya's hand, racking his brains but still unable to figure out what it meant.

Could he really be the king?

But that doesn't make sense. If he's the king, why is his relationship with Sir Hector so distant, given that he's Hector's adopted son? And if he's the king, why would Merry refuse to have his child?
At this moment, Dagnite sensed that Sua didn't seem to intend to punish him, so he immediately turned his head and sneered at Lukan, who was kneeling on the other side:
"You bastard, you actually tried to kill the king's knight! You're finished!"

Lucan's forehead veins throbbed as he cursed, "You coward, shut up! I am also a knight of the king, and you have no right to speak here!"

"Bah! You thief, what are you pretending to be a knight for? Have you sworn an oath to the king?"

"Huh!? I'm so pissed off!"

The stone house gradually descended into chaos, resembling a bustling market.
The two Knights of the Round Table were hurling insults at each other like shrewish women, while Meli, the Royal High Priestess, not only failed to stop the chaos but also fanned the flames, siding with whoever paid her.
Sua, the false king, could only watch all this with a blank expression, looking at the Knights of the Round Table who had gathered around him for the first time.

Murderer, fraudster, robber, deserter
Is this my round table? It's full of talented people!

Suya couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't stop it all, or rather, he didn't intend to stop it all.
He thought it was lively and fun.

More importantly, he was not the true King of Britain, nor did he intend to assume all responsibility.

Compared to the Knights, which seemed more like a circus troupe, it gave him a sense of belonging since he had suddenly arrived in this world all alone.

Even if this joy only lasts until we arrive in the capital.

Although Lukan was a habitual liar, as a fellow con artist, Suya could glean crucial information from his mostly truthful but ultimately deceptive words, such as—

Sir Hector is dead.

King Euthy is dead.

The great wizard Merlin is dead.

The deaths of these three crucial mentors to Arthur Pendragon's ascension to the throne not only eliminated Suarez's chances of succession but also...

On the other hand, theoretically, at least in this place right now, no one can tell whether Sua, who possesses the royal magic mark, is real or fake.

A lie becomes the truth if no one questions it!
According to the legends of King Arthur, perhaps only three people remain who can distinguish the real Sua from the fake.

Archbishop of Canterbury
Sir Hector's son, Arthur Pendragon's brother, Kay,

With Sister Wang, Morgan LeFee.

Morgan le Fay, the woman who won all of Merry's wealth, and the woman who might be able to tell that Sua was an imposter, is in the capital.

Suya, however, has no intention of going to the capital.

He looked at the noisy room and suddenly roared:
"stop!"

The three who had been making a ruckus stopped simultaneously. Lukan and Dagnett glanced cautiously at Sua, while Meryl met his gaze with amusement, her eyes half-closed into crescent shapes, as if to say, 'You're something else!'

Suya looked at the two kneeling figures, pondered for a moment, and then...
He decisively gave the order:
"Lord Lukan, Lord Dagnit—let bygones be bygones. I trust your loyalty!"

"Now, go and get me a map!"
