Davidian's Holy Grail War

Rest assured, chaos in Britain will end in his hands. Kings will submit to him, and your daughter will become a radiant queen. Their wedding will take place in the future city of chalk.

I imagine it must have been a grand wedding.

"I hope so. However, I still need to see King Arthur before making a final decision. After all, even if it is a politically motivated marriage, I want to do my best to ensure her happiness."

"Of course, I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

Chapter 79 Unintentionally Breaking Someone Else's Heart

In the days that followed, Davidian continued to send out his men from the 10th Reconnaissance Group to gather intelligence on King Liens's movements.

When King Leons completely withdrew from Kermed's territory, Davidian finally breathed a sigh of relief. With that, the matter here was over.

Finally, just as he was about to leave Kemlides, good news arrived. King Rodgerns announced to the world that he would marry his daughter Guinevere to King Arthur. The two were now engaged.

When David heard the news, he felt it was both natural and delightful. Artoria was indeed Artoria; she resolved the matter with ease.

"It seems we've reaped enough this time. Tristan, tell the brothers to head back. We can return to Karion City now!"

Davidian beckoned to Tristan, instructing him to notify everyone to evacuate Kemreid. The necessary tasks had been completed, and the desired gains had been obtained; how to heal the wounds of war was now King Rodgerens' own business.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

Tristan immediately left his tent to notify the entire First Legion to march back. He was in a good mood. After all, his king had taken what he needed to take so easily, saving him a lot of trouble.

But at the same time, Guinevere was numb. She was stunned when she heard the news. But judging from her father's expression, it seemed that he had made up his mind.

"King Arthur is a born hero, a king chosen by heaven. I will be at ease if you marry him. He is a king who is truly worthy of you and will bring you lifelong happiness."

King Rodgerns noticed Guinevere's emotional turmoil, but he attributed it to the suddenness of the event. He believed that Guinevere's initial shock was due to the shock, and that she would accept it once she calmed down.

Guinevere admitted that her father was right; she had indeed encountered King Arthur a few days earlier. They had even spent a considerable amount of time together during those days, which she had initially thought was a coincidence, but now it seemed to have been deliberately orchestrated.

She knew that King Arthur was an exceptional talent, a born king, but she never imagined that her fate had already been sealed at this moment, her future direction fixed.

“Father…I understand.” Guinevere did not resist; she was not stupid, on the contrary, she was very smart.

The father's arrangement had its reasons: through the engagement with King Arthur, Kemreed would remain at peace as long as King Arthur was still alive.

Moreover, this is only an engagement. If anything happens to King Arthur, she won't be at a disadvantage even if she remarries. In any case, Kemreid's side benefits, so there's no reason for her to refuse.

But she couldn't help but clutch her skirt tightly, and Guinevere stood up, made an excuse, and left.

King Rodgerns knew she was still upset and hadn't calmed down, but it was alright; she would understand soon. From the public's perspective, this matter only had advantages and no disadvantages.

Guinevere arrived at the military camp outside the city as quickly as possible, only to find that the entire First Legion had already prepared their camp.

They loaded what needed to be loaded onto the trucks and discarded what needed to be discarded; they were ready to embark on their return journey. At David's command, the entire First Legion would begin its return to Karien City.

So finding David was easy. Guinevere went to the very center of the camp and sure enough, she saw David overseeing the military equipment there.

He's not exactly swamped right now, since he can just glance at the coordination books handed over by the various company commanders in Dalian.

The First Legion wouldn't have any issues with embezzling military supplies or reselling materials. If that were the case, that person would probably be pushed out by their own brothers and hacked to death.

"Are you leaving? First to arrive, first to leave?"

Guinevere arrived before him, breathless; she had come in a great hurry. She had rushed to find David as quickly as possible after seeing the entire First Legion about to leave Kemreed.

David looked at her flustered state and wondered what was wrong with her. He quickly had Winnie Ribbon, who was standing beside him, hand her a bowl of water. After drinking it, Guinevere rested for a few minutes before she returned to normal.

"Of course, my business here is finished. King Liens has withdrawn, and the First Legion's mission is over. Oh, by the way, congratulations."

Our King is an exceptionally talented man, and if you become his queen, I will be happy for both of you. You two would be a perfect match, and I am truly delighted by this.

David brought up the matter with a smile, believing it to be an absolutely good thing.

Guinevere suddenly realized something and asked incredulously, "Could it be... that from the very beginning, this was your goal in coming here? Driving out King Liens was just a side effect?"

"No, no, expelling King Liens is just as important as your matter. The top priority is of course to expel King Liens, so as to demonstrate the benevolence and justice of our king."

But before I set off, I also thought of how my king is still unmarried, while you are so renowned. Isn't this perfect? ​​You two are truly a good match, aren't you?

Ah, if your concern is about King Arthur's character, I assure you, he will absolutely bring you happiness; I guarantee it with my own integrity.

David continued talking to himself, completely unaware of how much his words were hurting Guinevere.

"So, my fate was predetermined from the very beginning?"

Guinevere understood. So that's how it is. She had just been overthinking things.

From the very beginning, there was no story of a knight and a princess; in everyone else's eyes, her fate was already sealed. No matter how much she wanted to change, her destiny was already predetermined.

David realized then that something seemed off about her, and he couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Do you have someone you like? That's impossible. Among all the men you've met, who live a secluded life, there couldn't possibly be one more outstanding than our king."

Guinevere smiled at that moment, which David didn't notice at the time. But when he recalled Guinevere's smile then, he realized that Guinevere's dream might have been shattered at that moment.

"Indeed, no. It was a perfect marriage. From every angle, see you in the future, Dragon Knight Davidian, though you might have to call me Princess then."

After speaking, Guinevere lifted her skirt, bowed, and took her leave. David was also a little confused. What was wrong with this young girl? She came in such a hurry and left in such a hurry.

Even now, Davidian doesn't see anything wrong with this marriage. A princess has her responsibilities, and what's wrong with making some self-sacrifices for the benefit of her kingdom?

Not to mention, marrying King Arthur would be a perfect match for her; King Arthur, who drew the chosen sword, paired with Guinevere, renowned for her purity in Britain, could be considered a match made in heaven. No problem at all, not a single problem.

Chapter 80 Iron Agravivan

Davidian left just like that, it would be better to let Artoria stay in Camre and solidify her relationship with Guinevere.

If he, Tristan, and Wincenrib return, Karien City will be completely safe. No matter what kind of opponent they are, they will not be able to gain any advantage in Karien City.

However, he did not expect that problems would still arise when King Arthur returned, and they would be big problems.

David was dumbfounded when he heard this. If Merlin hadn't resolved the situation later, he almost would have banished Merlin into the darkness and never let him out again.

"I never thought this year would be over. Time flies, year after year."

David, who was at the very front of the army, suddenly spoke. It really has been fast; almost six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

However, his journeys through Britain and France remain vivid in his memory. He will likely never forget those memories, even in the future.

“After all, many things take a lot of time to do. We only fought one battle to get to Kemerid. But it will take almost half a year to go back and forth, since it was an entire army.”

Tristan understood that if it were just the few of them, it would only take three months to make the round trip, but considering the entire First Legion, it was quite normal.

After all, there are no highways now.

David grumbled inwardly, "It's not like we're going in a straight line. And the roads are so difficult to travel. I can't imagine how many roads we'll have to build to unify all of Britain, otherwise our armies simply won't be able to move quickly."

Whether it's fighting a war or suppressing a rebellion, it's all very troublesome.

Davidian was only able to relax when everyone returned to Carien. But he couldn't completely relax; he immediately threw himself into handling all the affairs of King Arthur's reign with Agravan.

This year's harvest is worse than last year's, and some people in certain areas are already dissatisfied. However, the overall situation is still relatively positive; otherwise, things would be much more complicated.

"Even if we defeat Vortigern and the foreign tribes, can we solve the land problem?" David felt deeply troubled. What was going on?

"I don't know either, but from what I've seen, Britain hasn't had a good harvest in a long time."

Even knights have to work in the fields to make a living, which shows how dire the current situation is, and who knows how long this will last.

Agguvin collected all the documents, each one already annotated and with a proposed solution. He simply needed to hand them over to the relevant officials and have them follow the procedures step by step.

David could only say apologetically, "I'm sorry, Agravan. There's not much I can do to help you, this is all I can do."

"It's alright, I'm already glad you're back. Now, our territory needs someone to be in charge."

That person could be you, or it could be my king. That way, I can make decisions even in the face of major events; I can't do that kind of thing.”

Agravan handed the compiled documents to his subordinate before returning to his seat. He poured David a glass of water, telling him to rest as well.

"I don't have that kind of ability. To be honest, the things I'm doing right now are already giving me a headache. Look, I've even grown gray hair."

David scratched his head and actually pulled out a gray hair. He had indeed been working very hard lately, and he didn't know how Agravan had managed to keep going all this time.

Agravan smiled slightly before saying, "You don't need to worry about that. Leave the administrative matters to me and Lord Keir. Merlin..."

If only he were more diligent. But that guy is far too hypocritical; I can't entrust him with important tasks. It's better to keep him by the King's side; after all, the King can control him more effectively.”

"Insincere...is that how it is?"

Davidian didn't know what to say. He felt that Agravan was right. But saying it like that seemed a little unfair to Merlin. Well, a little bit, perhaps.

Agguwen closed his eyes, took a sip of water, thought carefully for a moment, and then said:

"If we're just talking about interpersonal relationships and emotions, I think Lord Tristan is the most serious. It's just that his sentimentality is too poetic compared to ordinary people, so he always seems too reckless when comforting the opposite sex."

I won't comment on Lord Lancelot. Gahoris, though simple-minded, is quite calm and probably won't worry me. Only Kay and Merlin—those two are just too hypocritical.

Agrave criticized most of the current knights in front of Davian, making Davian somewhat embarrassed.

In Agravan's eyes, Keirin and Merlin were practically trash. But Agravan's words actually made a lot of sense, and even David thought he was right.

"Oh, Agravain, you're not going to stay single forever, are you?"

David glanced at Agraven and then posed this question. He couldn't help but wonder if Agraven disliked women.

"I don't like women, and as you said, I do intend to remain single for life. I don't think this is anything to be ashamed of. Is marriage and having children more important than continuing Britain?"

Agguwen calmly revealed his inner thoughts, leaving Davidian completely dumbfounded. Yes, this really wasn't something to be ashamed of.

“And you are the same, aren’t you?” Agraven’s words struck a chord with Davidian, getting straight to the heart of the matter.
