The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"No matter who sent them, we must get going as soon as possible, or it will be too late."

Kiana said to Artoria.

She knew they had to act immediately, or they wouldn't have enough time to get to their destination.

Hearing Kiana's words, Artoria nodded heavily.

They must find Lancelot as soon as possible, or the consequences will be dire.

"You go first, I'll cover your retreat."

"Artoria said."

"You...you be careful."

Kiana wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She wasn't worried about Artoria; she was worried that if the pursuers found Artoria, they might hurt her.

After all, Artoria has only been out of the mountains for a short time and is not suitable for combat at all.

However, she couldn't leave Artoria alone; that would make her seem too heartless.

"I know, you should leave now!"

Artoria urged Kiana on.

"But..."

"No buts needed! My strength is no less than those pursuers'."

After saying this, Kiana turned and ran away. She wanted to leave as soon as possible so that no one would see her and Artoria.

She didn't want Artoria to be noticed by others.

However, just as both sides were making excuses and hoping the other would leave first...

"My king, I have finally found you!"

As a young and powerful voice rang out, many heavily armored knights knelt down in front of the two men.

They faced Artoria, their helmeted faces filled with determination and resolve.

In terms of sheer presence and charisma, they had already left those wicked mercenaries far behind.

What's even more remarkable is that... these knights seem to have already pledged their allegiance to Artoria?

"you?"

The two men looked at each other, then turned their gaze to the leader of the group of knights.

Lancelot, the future Lake Knight...

"I have traveled across the ocean and the Channel to help you reclaim the throne of the King of Britain."

"You are my most beloved Queen, your glory belongs to the British Royal Family, therefore we swear to follow you to the death!!!"

Lancelot...

The other knights present also raised their swords and loudly swore their oaths.

"Your courage and perseverance are very gratifying, but you don't need to follow me, because I will never be able to sit in that position."

"I have made preparations so as not to disappoint your expectations."

"You are already aware of my methods, so your loyalty is sufficient."

"Artoria said."

"I do not believe you are incapable of being Queen of Britain, Your Majesty!"

Lancelot said.

"Your Majesty, please allow us to follow you; we are willing to go through fire and water for you!!!"

Lancelot spoke with great emotion; they all hoped to contribute their share to Artoria.

However, having inexplicably acquired a group of helpers, Artoria felt nothing but surprise and no joy.

After all, she didn't even know who these people in front of her were.

Why would they come to support me? Could it be a trap?

After a brief moment of thought, Artoria turned her attention to the person she trusted most in this matter.

Kiana...

"Don't worry, Lancelot is a trustworthy knight."

Kiana smiled and nodded in response to Artoria's gaze.

Having fought him before in the Holy Grail War, she knew very well that the man before her was destined to become the next Madoka Magica.

A man who is a member of the Table Knights.

Chapter Eight: Who exactly is this girl who turned the tide?

He was the kind of person who would truly die for King Arthur.

This is no joke.

This is an established fact that has already happened; after all, in the distant future, this knight went mad because he was not executed by the king.

Ultimately, they traveled thousands of miles across time and space to obtain final redemption.

He is an impeccable man of justice, without a doubt.

Kiana firmly believed it.

Therefore, he felt he could completely trust the knight in front of him.

Artoria didn't know why Kiana trusted him so much.

Since Kiana has chosen to believe, it seems unlikely that going it alone will yield any good results.

After thinking it over, Artoria raised her sword and gently tapped Lancelot's right shoulder.

"I accept your allegiance."

She said those words.

"My command is your command."

Lancelot replied, raising his own longsword and handing it to Artoria with both hands.

"Please allow me to continue protecting you and ensuring your safety."

His voice was steady and full of masculinity, which was somewhat similar to Artoria's.

"We will always protect you."

"I will always be here waiting for you. I will be by your side whenever you wish."

Kiana smiled with satisfaction as she listened to Artoria and Lancelot's words.

She looked at Artoria and said:

"It seems our business is thriving."

Artoria didn't answer Kiana's question, but just looked at her quietly.

Kiana, seeing that she didn't answer, continued:

"I know we haven't made much progress yet, but I believe things will get better."

"As long as everyone can unite, then all problems will disappear."

Kiana said seriously.

This time, however, Artoria did not reply to her immediately.

She remained silent.

She was thinking.

"You're thinking about what to do, aren't you?"

Kiana looked at her and asked.

Artoria did not answer her question, but remained silent.

"Actually, I think this problem isn't difficult at all; we should be able to solve it easily."

Kiana continued.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Artoria.

When Artoria heard her say that, she was also a little excited.

This problem is indeed not difficult; all she needs to do is find a suitable reason. However, she is not sure whether this reason will be accepted by others.

If others agree with her, her situation may become dangerous, and it may get worse and worse.

"I hope so?"

Artoria looked at her and said.

"Don't rush."

Kiana said, "I can guarantee you'll win."

Thank you for your blessings.

Artoria looked at her and said, "This is a difficult question, but I will try my best to make it easier as soon as possible."

Kiana looked at Artoria.

"good."

Artoria looked at Kiana and said solemnly.

The two exchanged a smile, then turned their attention to the newly joined member.

Lancelot...

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Seeing that Artoria was looking at him, Lancelot asked her a question.

Although his expression remained unusually calm when he asked the question, he was almost like a machine.
