In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"Artoria..."

"..."

Before the girl could react, she felt herself being kissed by the man.

But she wasn't panicked at all.

Because being able to get a kiss like this is one of the few happiness she can get as a girl in her life.

This was the only greed in her life.

[Altria agreed to your meeting with Lancelot. ]

[And for the sake of safety, she temporarily entrusted the holy sword Avalon to you until the meeting is over. ]

[But you think this won’t make any sense. ]

[After all, you can feel that Lancelot really only set foot on British soil with a sense of challenge. ]

【You met Lancelot. 】

[A meeting that will determine the direction of future wars begins. ]

"It seems you have almost recovered."

Lancelot said somewhat awkwardly.

"Fortunately, King Arthur took action."

"Otherwise, I would have made a big mistake... I'm so sorry."

"Nothing."

Ian was very generous and forgave Lancelot.

"Showing your strongest strength in a duel is a form of respect for your opponent."

"Besides -"

"You also know that I can handle that level of realm, so you use all your strength, right?"

"From this perspective, I should be the one who should apologize if something went wrong."

"Ah."

Lancelot smiled.

"Ian, as a winner, you speak so calmly."

"In comparison, it makes me seem a little mean and look down on you."

"It doesn't matter if you look down on me." Ian smiled.

"But no matter now or in the future, please don't look down on the King of Camelot."

"Hmm." Lancelot shrugged. "Whatever the winner says is right."

"but--"

"You asked me to come over to meet you. You didn't just want to say this to me, did you?"

"of course not."

Ian picked up the Excalibur Galatine from the side.

"Lancelot, did you also obtain your sword from the lake?"

"..."

Looking at Ian's appearance, Lancelot also pulled out his indestructible lake light (Aroundigh).

"You can say that, but that's not entirely true."

"Oh? What does this mean?"

"I did not 'get' the blade from the lake."

Lancelot looked at the azure sword in his hand, which was as calm as the lake under the moon.

"I am a knight raised by the spirits of the lake."

"They gave me the unbroken Aroundigh, and I rode through the land of France."

"I see."

Ian nodded thoughtfully.

"According to what you said, it really shouldn't be described as 'acquired', but rather 'inherited'."

"maybe."

Lancelot didn't mind.

"Anyway, it has been with me for a long time and is my most capable weapon."

"In that case—"

Ian looked at Lancelot in front of him.

"Have you ever thought about finding a new reason to wield this blade inherited from the lake?"

"..."

Lancelot could naturally hear the hidden meaning in the other party's words.

"Ian, you can just say it."

"Well--"

Now that things have come to this, Ian no longer hides his purpose.

"Lancelot, fight for King Arthur."

"The Knights of the Round Table need this blade in your hand."

[You told Lancelot the reason for Camelot's expedition.]

[All the contradictions point to Vortigern - you don't want Altria's identity to be persecuted.]

[Of course, you didn't expect Lancelot to respond directly after giving such a reason.]

[After all, he is a knight of France, not Britain.]

[But it's just like fate always likes to play jokes on you. ]

【The development of things has once again exceeded your imagination. 】

"I understand."

Lancelot nodded after Ian finished speaking.

"I accept all of this."

"..."

Ian's silence made Lancelot a little unhappy.

"What's that look in your eyes? Are you doubting what I said?"

"...More or less." Ian did not deny the other party's statement.

"Well," Lancelot said without getting angry, "I will add another reason."

"France and Britain are lands separated by seas."

"I can fight the enemies coming across the sea at some point in the future, or I can gather our strength together like I am doing now and eliminate all problems at the source."

"But the latter is obviously much more cost-effective."

"So, you won't doubt me anymore, right?"

"Yes...indeed." Ian stretched out his hand, "I am willing to kill the enemy with you."

Lancelot smiled calmly and took the hand that was extended to him.

"mutual encouragement."

"But before that-"

"Can I ask you one more question?"

"Of course." Ian replied with a smile.

"We are already allies."

"Yeah." Lancelot nodded.

"Then can you tell me what the relationship between you and King Arthur is like?"

"..."

Ian pondered for a moment, then responded to Lancelot's gaze:

"She is someone I deserve to protect with my life, that's all."

"That's it..."

Lancelot gave a knowing smile.

"If you want to fulfill your oath at the cost of your life, I can understand it."

"Understood?"

Ian was a little confused.

"Lancelot, do you know something strange?"

"It's not a strange thing."

Lancelot raised his sword and pointed it at a distance.

"I just think that King Arthur only sees you."

"Everything else seems to be downgraded to this king."

"Well... now that I understand that you two are friends of life and death, it's a lot easier to understand."

"..."

Ian felt mixed emotions when he heard this.

After a long while, he managed a smile.

"Yes...a friend of life and death."

This is the perfect word to describe the relationship between himself and Altria.

Every word tells a story.

[The elite troops of Camelot have resumed their campaign.]

【The addition of Lancelot will give you even more power. 】

[This knight from a foreign country does have extraordinary abilities. ]

[At the same time, the gathering of the three holy swords in the lake also adds a more attractive momentum to you. ]

[More and more knights came here to visit, and the name of the Round Table spread across Britain, reaching its peak.]

[You have been actively insulting Altria more and more often.]

[The girl has become accustomed to lying under you, and being visited by you in and out of the back garden at midnight. ]

[Occasionally, she will turn around and shyly ask you if her performance today was not good, which led to the low amount.]

[It was as if, for her, that place was really the place where life continued.]

【The gap between you may only have one last step left. 】

[Time flies by as the battle on the battlefield becomes unstoppable.]

[Finally, the day of direct confrontation with Vortigern has arrived.]

83. The battle with the white dragon begins amid the princess's anxiety (-word chapter)

【This is a war that determines the fate of Britain.】
