"But just like you think that Artoria drawing her sword is not a good thing."

"She hasn't been affected too much right now—does this mean that there's something wrong with your judgment?"

"If that's the case, that would be great."

"But that's not the case—"

Kai sighed deeply again, and this time he seemed helpless, as if he had exhausted all possible methods.

"While you were fighting, some things had quietly changed."

"for example?"

"For example, the succession to the throne—"

"..."

Ian suddenly realized something.

That's right.

This is the biggest difference between Altria as a "male" and Altria as a female.

I had never thought of this before!

After all, the rules of succession to the throne between the two are very different, and can even be said to be completely different.

"Kai, what do you want to say?"

"In fact, many people in Camelot are not optimistic about Altria's expedition."

Kai put down the wine glass in his hand, and then stated some unshakable facts in a heavy voice.

"Of course, they won't express this idea directly—just like when Artoria revealed her gender today, there wasn't much rebellion."

"But this doesn't mean they won't take any action. At least when it comes to the succession to the throne, it's definitely not going to be so easy."

"For example—"

"Altria will grow old one day sooner or later."

"So 'he' needed a princess who could accomplish this—and someone like that had already crossed the Channel to Camelot."

"who is she?"

"Guinevere."

630. Lily likes to be held in his arms / Guinevere's visit (4k)

This is a name you have never heard of.

Guinevere...

[For some reason, the moment you hear this name, you always feel your nerves tense up a little.]

[If I had to describe this feeling, it would be like touching some kind of taboo.]

You sense that something is not right and a storm is approaching.

"When did you come?" Ian couldn't help but ask.

"How come I don't know anything about it?"

"It's normal that you don't know—" Kai responded to Ian's question calmly, "After all, this was an agreement we reached in secret when you were out fighting Vortigern."

"If I hadn't felt something was fishy... I probably wouldn't have known about this person until now."

"Just wait a moment."

Ian reached out and stopped Kai.

"You mean, Altria herself doesn't know about Guinevere?"

"..."

Kai was silent at first, then nodded.

"correct."

"You're right—at least for now, she doesn't know of such a person."

"and……"

Kai hesitated to speak, and Ian naturally caught his reaction.

As Altria's most loyal knight, he certainly couldn't just pretend that he hadn't seen anything.

"What happened?"

"Kai, if you really consider me a colleague of the Knights, then tell me directly."

"..."

Maybe Ian's words touched Kai, or maybe he had his own ideas.

After a moment's hesitation, Kai spoke directly:

"I understand."

"Ian, although this may be a little embarrassing for you, but if it's okay—"

"I hope you can help send Guinevere away."

"what?"

Ian was surprised at first, but then he realized that his reaction was a little bit outrageous.

Fortunately, no one noticed his reaction, which was a blessing in disguise.

"Didn't you just arrive?"

"Kai, why do you want to send her away directly?"

"Because I don't want Altria to see her." At this point, Kai no longer concealed his purpose.

"Having spent so much time with Altria, you should know how serious she is. Since she came to me for some reason, she would definitely find a way to solve the problems associated with it."

"But... now is obviously not the time to spare the energy to do something like this."

"I don't want her to have to deal with such a difficult situation right after revealing her identity - so I'll have to ask you to do it."

"Of course, I will do my best to cooperate with you."

"..."

Ian completely understood Kai's thoughts.

He was her adopted brother, so naturally he didn't want to see his sister troubled by this or that matter - on this point, his thoughts coincided with his.

"Why are you looking for me, Kai? I want to know your reasons."

"Reason?" Kai smiled slightly.

"Do you really need a reason? Just the name Altria is enough to make you agree, right? All I value is your ability to handle things."

"..."

The corners of Ian's mouth curled up slightly.

Yes.

Do you really need a reason?

The name Altria alone is enough to be the beginning of everything, right?

【You agreed to Kai's request.】

[You had one last drink and parted ways like friends.]

Kai went back to arrange accommodation for Guinevere, while you returned to Altria's side without making a sound.

【but--】

[You find that you seem to have underestimated how much Altria cares about you.]

[She...seems to be keeping an eye on your whereabouts all the time.]

"Why are you looking for your brother?"

Altria's voice rang in Ian's ears.

Obviously, although she didn't hear what the man and Kai said, she still saw something more or less.

"There's something." Ian lied a little.

"What's the matter?" Artoria seemed unwilling to let go of the topic. "Isn't it something that you can't tell me? You have to hide in an inconspicuous corner."

"..."

This is of course a secret that cannot be told casually.

After all, Kai's meaning was very clear - he wanted to solve this problem that might cause a storm for Altria without her knowing.

Then... naturally I have to take corresponding actions.

"of course not."

"Altria, we just had a brief conversation about your gender reveal."

"Oh?"

Artoria seemed to be interested.

"Then what did he say, and what did you say?"

"..."

Ian thought for a moment, then quickly answered.

"It's actually nothing."

"I just mentioned a few things you said the other day, and he said he would support you."

"...Is that all?" Artoria asked again.

"Yeah." The man nodded.

"After all, if we really talk about it——it's impossible for me to stand right in front of you right now, right?"

"Too."

Artoria tilted her head slightly, her emotions restrained by the shining Rhongomyniad, and she seemed unaware of how adorable she was.

"Then let's finish the rest quickly."

"……What do you want to do?"

"It's not what I want to do, it's what you want to do." Altria smiled indifferently, then stood on tiptoe and leaned close to his ear.

"The knight's pledge of allegiance is not yet complete, is it?"

"..."

[You completely understood what Altria meant.]

【She is expressing her feelings to you in the most understandable way. 】

【so--】

Even though you didn't really want to do this, you still nodded slightly, accepting everything.

[This undoubtedly gave Altria great joy.]

[Her mental state recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.]

[She completed the celebration banquet with grace and grace—even though it seemed a little too early in the eyes of others.]

【but……】

[At a time like this, no one would say such a thing.]

【The king's choice is justice.】

【The king's choice is correct.】

[This idea seems to have been recognized by countless people.]
