"As for Nito, her attachment to you is just because she found someone to rely on, but liking someone is liking someone, and that's hard to change."
"So you've been pretending to be confused all along?"
"Not confused, not confused."
Osmandis smiled proudly: "No matter what, you are now my best friend and someone I approve of, and that will not change."
“Osmandis…”
Lovi was somewhat unsure of the pharaoh's mindset when he said those words, but he genuinely admired the confidence and composure of these kings.
That was what he lacked, and also what he wanted.
"But I already have someone I like, and more than one... I guess the person I'm looking for this time is thinking the same way, so if we continue like this..."
After hearing Merlin's account of Artoria's changes over the past 1,500 years and how she regarded him as her spiritual pillar and soulmate, Rowe's feelings were inevitably complicated.
He wanted to be worthy of every relationship, all the people he loved, and all the people who loved him.
"Hmm, my dear friend, is there a conflict between having someone you like and liking Nito, and Nito liking you?"
"Huh, doesn't...don't they conflict?"
Lovi paused for a moment, and subconsciously retorted, but only after the words left his mouth did he realize how outrageous his words were for an ancient Egyptian king.
"Haha, you... you're just too serious. The two aren't actually contradictory. Although I love Nefertari the most, I still have so many concubines."
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Anubis has actually agreed to this matter. You don't need to rush to give me an answer about Nito; take your time to consider it... However, if possible, I would really like to become family with you."
Ramses II stood up, then left laughing: "Even if you suddenly become several generations older than me, it doesn't matter. After all... I really want to see you become empress and stand with Nefertari, looking like a lone chicken among chickens, hahaha—!"
"It's decided then. Nito is in your care. The other two knights will stay here with me as guards. I'll be going now!"
"???"
Lovi frowned and quickly turned to look in the direction Ramses II had left.
But the guy seemed to have anticipated this, and without caring about his image, he quickly took off running, laughing as he went: "Haha ...
This scene left Luo Wei speechless.
"Have you completely degenerated into a comedian? Hakio, you bastard—!!"

P.S.: Cao Cao has arrived!!
Start tying knots in the wings.
Artoria: "You are the challenger!"
Nito: "I'll probably never forget you."
py: I'm offering a book as a sacrifice, a friend's book, as the opening, hoping it will survive.

Chapter 188 The Wandering Knight with the Silver Arm
Amidst a vast sea of sand, a caravan of camels slowly passed by. Most of them were pitiful nomads, forced to wander the desert and live a precarious existence after the Holy City of Jerusalem was conquered by the Lion King.
However, compared to other nomads, they were undoubtedly lucky, because they encountered a caravan heading to the Kingdom of the Sun. As long as they were willing to pay money or labor, they could travel with the caravan across this boundless desert.
"Next, we will be arriving at the territory ruled by the Sun King. Come and replenish your water. Rest for a while at the entrance before going in. However, remember to show respect to the Sun King, so that the divine beasts will not cause us any trouble. Remember not to disrespect the sun."
The middle-aged businessman leading the group, who had an Arabic style, earnestly gave instructions.
"We understand, Captain."
The members behind him nodded in agreement, and then followed their captain's instructions to find a place to cool off and get some rest.
Once everyone has recovered their strength, they can pass through the gate and reach the Sun King's safe city in one go.
The elderly man at the head of the group looked at the merchants who were being inspected at the city gate in the distance and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the outside world is currently in turmoil and unrest, opportunities always coexist with dangers. By being responsible for transporting supplies and picking up a few people along the way, he has made a lot of money during this period. Before long, he will be able to live a wealthy life, and his family will finally be able to live a good life with him.
Suddenly, just as he was selling his "Bright Future" bestseller, a rather gentle voice rang in his ears: "So this is the Sun King's city?"
The caravan captain turned around and saw a rather handsome knight walking towards him.
Upon closer inspection, he appeared to be only in his early twenties, with long, flowing, beautiful silver hair and gentle, emerald-like eyes as clear as gemstones. His entire being exuded a unique aura. Furthermore, his hands and skin were fair, making him appear like a beautiful young woman of seventeen or eighteen. He wore a full suit of silver-white armor and a silver cloak.
Because of the chaos caused by the Crusades, the monsters roaming the desert, and the bandits who plunder and pillage, in this world, if a merchant wanted to cross the desert without hiring some powerful guards, he wasn't doing trade, he was courting death.
The knight before him was someone he had met by chance on the road and hired. Not only was he handsome and gentle, but despite being a man, he exuded an aura comparable to that of a virtuous woman.
More importantly, he was very strong, extremely strong! In fact, his skills and attire were far from ordinary. He was able to kill several dark demons and other monsters roaming the desert all by himself, protecting the entire caravan from casualties. This was more effective than the entire fully armed mercenary group he had previously hired.
Furthermore, the knight himself was quite strange, especially his odd right arm. It wasn't a normal human arm of flesh and blood, but a silver prosthetic limb, entirely silver-white and gleaming with a metallic sheen. The people in the caravan all witnessed this arm glowing and then severing the bodies of those monsters with a single swing. So it must be some kind of magical artifact, or perhaps a forbidden magical artifact.
Although he found it strange, the caravan leader couldn't easily understand it. After all, he wasn't from Jerusalem; he came from the area near Mount Muqabir and was only responsible for transporting goods across the desert. He had seen one of the black-clad men, Lord Hassan, who also had an arm similar to this knight's, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
After all, everyone had been doing well along the way, and prying into other people's secrets was just too risky. Putting aside everything else, if that knight were to swing his arm, they would all be dead.
"Captain, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing."
The knight's soft question brought the merchant captain back to his senses. He shook his head and then addressed the silver-white knight before him, "That's right, Sir Lucius, the city-state of the Sun King is just ahead."
"Thank you for your explanation. However, please don't call me 'Sir Knight' anymore. Although I am a knight, I am just an ordinary wanderer and cannot bear such a title. Just call me Lucius."
The knight who called himself Lucius smiled, a beautiful smile like the dawn breaking through the clouds. Then he looked at the bustling desert city-state ahead and said, "So this is a city-state in the desert. It's really lively and magnificent. It's hard to imagine that there would be such a peaceful place in this singularity. That Sun King was a great king. His great achievements are admirable."
"Haha, you're right. At first, I didn't want to believe it either, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I sincerely worshipped the Sun King."
"Perhaps that wasn't a king, but a god. The Sun King is a deity, the embodiment of the sun, and this city is naturally a miracle!"
The guild captain spoke with great admiration, praising the Sun King to Lucius while raising his arms and shouting, "Praise the Sun!"
Lucius laughed at the sight, thinking it was some kind of ceremony before entering the city, so he imitated him and began to praise the sun.
"Alright, in that case, we will now be under the protection of the Sun King."
Seeing Lucius imitate him in praising the sun, the caravan captain smiled and said, then he reached into his pocket, took out a large bag of coins, and stuffed it into Lucius's hand, saying, "Here you go, Sir Lucius, this is the agreed-upon reward, and there's also a lot of extra bounty you received for protecting us this time."
"Thank you so much." Lucius accepted the caravan leader's money bag with a gentle smile.
The caravan captain, who had been quite happy, couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart at that smile.
That wasn't fright, but the feeling of being moved.
His face flushed red, and then he was horrified to discover that he had actually fallen for a man's smile!
This is absolutely bizarre!!
Realizing this, the caravan captain quickly shook his head, banishing the ominous thought from his mind.
His doctrine forbids such things from happening, and he has a wife and daughter, and a happy family. If he were to do something like this outside and betray them, his head would definitely be taken away by the Hassans.
Although it wasn't the knight's fault, he still felt he should get away as soon as possible, and he didn't want to do anything that would let anyone down, and he certainly didn't want to become gay.
"Please wait, Captain."
Just as he was about to leave, the knight behind him suddenly called out to him.
"Do you think it's too little?"
Hearing the call, the caravan captain turned around suspiciously, and at the same time took out another money bag, handing it to Lucius behind him. "I'm sorry, sir, this is all I have right now. Because this batch of goods hasn't been sold yet, I only have eighty silver coins on me..."
"no."
Seeing this, the knight shook his head slightly. He poured out the coins from his money bag, took only twenty, and returned the remaining twenty to the caravan captain.
"You... what is this?"
"Since we agreed on twenty escorts beforehand, we certainly can't raise the price on the spot. Keeping promises is a must for knights."
“But you helped us kill the monster, so this is the reward you deserve.”
Upon hearing this, the knight smiled and shook his head: "I am the knight escorting you, and it is only my duty to fight off monsters. Besides, everyone is struggling, and you need this money more than I, a wanderer."
As he spoke, he had already helped the caravan leader put the money away again.
"I see..."
Seeing his insistence, the caravan captain could only gratefully accept the money, and at the same time, he admired the wandering knight's character even more.
After all, in such chaotic times of war, nothing is more practical than half a bag of grain, let alone a considerable sum of money. He was truly impressed that this knight was still able to uphold his moral principles.
"Sir Lucius, are you going to Jerusalem?" the caravan captain suddenly asked before they left.
“Yes.” The knight nodded.
“Listen to me, Sir Lucius, don’t go there. Although I know your pursuits as knights are different from ours, Jerusalem is gone now. There’s only a new white city there, and countless demons constantly attacking. It’s extremely dangerous. More importantly, according to the bigwigs in our village, that city is no good place. Many mountain people who went there never returned. For your safety, you should give up now…”
Perhaps moved by the knight's righteousness, the caravan captain unusually revealed a secret he had obtained from the village, whispering, "If you're looking to advance and gain merit, you can stay in this city. Go and serve the Sun King with peace of mind. Besides, the Sun King is now recruiting soldiers, and I'm sure with your skills, you'll achieve great things in the future."
"Thank you for your kindness..."
Sensing the caravan captain's good intentions, the knight nodded slightly, but ultimately declined, saying, "However, my pursuit is not military merit or promotion. I have many people I care about in Jerusalem, and I also have a more important mission to complete."
“I see… You have someone important with you? Then I won’t try to dissuade you. You seem like the kind of person with unwavering convictions. In that case, come with me into the city later. I’ll help you prepare some provisions and a camel, which will make things much easier for you on this journey.” The caravan captain, moved by the knight’s spirit, offered his suggestion.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, you've really helped me a lot."
This time, the Cavaliers did not refuse and happily accepted the kindness of others, as this help was indeed what they needed most at the moment.
"You're too kind, Sir Lucius. You're the one who should be helping us more."
Seeing his joyful expression, the caravan leader couldn't help but be infected by his emotions and started to smile too.
In other circumstances, he wouldn't be so polite to those vampire-like greedy mercenaries or guards; they would part ways immediately after the cooperation. But he really liked this knight, so he took the initiative to help and reciprocate this rare kindness.
Although he knew the caravan captain's advice was well-intentioned, the knight named Lucius was naturally not going to be persuaded to turn back.
Because this is his mission, and his destiny...
Lucius's name is merely a facade; he could not possibly be the renowned swordsman of Rome. His real name is Bedivere, one of the Knights of the Round Table who, like Galahad, was not summoned by the Lion King. He is also the silver-haired knight that Love has been searching for, the stranger in the prophecy.
"Fifteen hundred years of wasted time, fifteen hundred years of struggle and long years... a decaying body, an immortal life... now I have finally arrived here..."
