"Looks like everyone is here? Let's get started then."

Fortunately, it seemed that she noticed Lanis's doubts. After looking around at everyone, Artoria spoke up to help out in time.

"This deputy looks a little unfamiliar. Is he the new recruit the king recently hired?"

At this moment, a laughing voice suddenly came from the round table.

He was wearing a bright red aristocratic robe and looked to be about forty or fifty years old. The smile on his face seemed quite gentle at first glance, but it gave people a sense of majesty without anger.

When he opened his mouth, many people present turned their eyes to him with a bit of respect in their eyes.

There were once twelve great nobles in the Camelot Empire. After nine of them were killed by the Night's Watch in one night, three were still alive.

King Marco is one of the three remaining nobles and also Tristan's uncle.

After hearing the news last night that King Arthur was meeting with the time traveler, this nobleman could not sit still and came early in the morning when King Arthur held a meeting.

"Because the king has been busy with government affairs recently, he specially called in an extra person to help."

The deputy lady standing on the other side of Altria said with a smile.

"I see. The Camelot Empire has indeed been unstable recently."

King Marco sighed heavily. "Under your rule, the empire prospered... but now, a group of strangers from outside have caused so much trouble."

"These foreigners and those Saxons... are fundamentally no different."

The sudden outrageous remarks made Kenneth raise his brows slightly, and his eyes suddenly became colder.

Agguiwen also looked at King Marco coldly.

"The king must have his own reasons for summoning the time traveler, so just say less before that." Tristan also spoke in a low voice.

In addition to dozens of nobles, there were also several Knights of the Round Table present today, including the 'Son of Sorrow', Tristan.

King Marco was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I forgot there were travelers from the present world here... Sorry, please continue."

Altria didn't say a word from beginning to end, but just stared indifferently at the group of nobles in front of the round table.

King Marco's heart trembled, and he immediately withdrew his gaze silently.

After the death of the Night's Watch, King Arthur's temperament changed drastically. Now he is no longer the King Arthur who would be pressured by other kings.

...But no matter what, cooperating with a time traveler from this world is unheard of.

At least half of the votes are needed to pass this decision.

But most of the nobles who came to attend the meeting this time were conservatives...

Thinking of this, King Marco felt a little more at ease.

Altria calmly scanned the crowd and said slowly, "I believe that after interacting with time travelers these past few days, you should be familiar with the title 'Monarch'."

The monarch of the Clock Tower has a family with twelve seats behind him. The El-Melloi family is now ranked fourth under the control of Kenneth and has a very high say in some major directions.

"I know what everyone here is thinking."

Altria looked around at the nobles. "You think modern magicians are unqualified to sit at the same negotiating table with us, right?"

Age of Gods, this term is full of legends in the Type-Moon world.

Compared to the magicians of the Age of Gods, modern magicians are indeed much weaker.

but--

The weakness of modern magi is only in their strength, which does not mean that they are far inferior to the Age of Gods in terms of 'research and development'.

Some nobles in Camelot look down on time travelers, but for the "monarch" of the Clock Tower, at least for Kenneth, he also looks down on this group of so-called nobles.

If it weren't for King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, he might not be sitting here today.

The nobles remained silent, but the expressions on their faces confirmed what Altria said.

"With such an arrogant attitude, there will be a backlash sooner or later."

"He's said similar things in the past."

Although he did not say the name, a name subconsciously emerged in the minds of the nobles and even the Knights of the Round Table present.

Night's Watch...Lianis said to herself.

Then, she glanced at the nobles present and sighed softly in her heart.

Even an outsider like Lanis could see that most of the nobles present today were not optimistic about "cooperating" with the time travelers.

Even King Arthur needed to consult his subjects.

It seems that it is unlikely to reach a cooperation in a short period of time——

"Kenneth, you should know why I summoned you today, right?"

At this moment, Altria's voice suddenly rang out.

Suddenly being called, Kenneth took a deep breath and said slowly, "Will the Clock Tower help Camelot maintain order among the travelers in the future?"

"That's not a problem, but should we wait until your meeting reaches a conclusion?"

At the end of his speech, he glanced meaningfully at the nobles present.

Altria said calmly, "That's true. Let's vote as usual."

Hearing this, the nobles present exchanged glances with each other, and then secretly looked at King Marco.

The latter raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint arc quickly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Most of the nobles present today were conservatives on his side, and they did not approve of cooperating with the time travelers.

As long as there is not a majority vote, even the king would have nothing to say.

"Those who agree to cooperate with the Clock Tower please raise your hands. Those who disagree please resign and return home."

King Marco's thoughts froze for a moment, and then he subconsciously looked up at Artoria.

Wait a minute……

What the hell? ! !

"king……"

Before King Marco could speak, Artoria's indifferent voice sounded again in the hall.

"Voting begins now."

For a moment, there was a dead silence in the empty King's Hall, and all the nobles looked at each other in confusion.

Then, under King Arthur's cold gaze, they all raised their hands as if in tacit understanding.

King Marco's face turned pale, and when he saw that he was the only one who didn't fit in, he finally raised his stiff arms slowly.

"Very good, passed unanimously."

Altria nodded in satisfaction, looked at the stunned Kenneth, and said, "I will send someone to assist you from now on. The future travelers will be left to you."

Kenneth was stunned for a long moment before he came to his senses and nodded, "Okay... I understand."

As expected of King Arthur, this voting method is quite democratic...

Even Kenneth was speechless.

It was actually quite common for the monarch and his subjects to disagree, but such a democratic vote...even for him, it was the first time he had seen it.

Altria looked around at everyone and asked, "Does anyone have any other questions?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one spoke, she announced that the meeting was over.

……

After watching the nobles leave, Altria looked at her deputy and said, "Ariel, go to the office and bring over the reports on the review of time travelers from the past two days."

Ariel bowed respectfully, then turned and walked out of the hall.

"It seems that King Marco won't give up so easily." Alvin stood beside the woman and said in a helpless tone.

"Over the past few years, I've seen in his relationship with Tristan that as long as it doesn't involve bottom lines, he'll turn a blind eye to most things."

Altria said calmly, "But important decisions like this still require decisiveness."

Alvin nodded slightly.

Indeed, in the past, these great nobles always relied on their seniority and liked to bully others.

At that time, Artoria had just come to power and her methods and policies were somewhat conservative... It was precisely because of this that Alvin taught her a more "democratic" way of voting.

But even Alvin didn't expect that in just less than a few years, Altria had evolved to this level.

But judging by King Marco's reaction today, he probably won't let it go...

Alvin looked up at the entrance of the hall, his eyes showing a hint of thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Altria suddenly asked.

Alvin looked up in the direction Tristan left.

"Nothing, I just thought since I'm back now, why not go see some old friends."

……

King Marco left the King's Hall with a grim expression.

There were also several nobles and a red-haired knight traveling with them.

——Tristan.

"King Arthur will be retaliated against sooner or later if he does this."

As they walked out of the palace, King Marco finally spoke, his tone filled with chill.

You know, even when the previous king was alive, he was not as arrogant as King Arthur is today... Her reaction today simply shows that she doesn't take the other kings seriously at all!

Doesn't she know that doing this will lose the support of the people?

"King Arthur's willful actions offended many nobles in the empire, leading to numerous obstacles during his reign... If it weren't for the Night's Watch, she would have been sidelined by now."

The man who spoke was also wearing the red robe that symbolized a noble family. His expression was also not very good. "Over the years, she has become more and more extreme... Now she doesn't even take us seriously."
