Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Mouth Escape of the Time Traveller!
I heard nobles, knights, and commoners discussing her gender, and even looked at her with pity.
A normal person might have fallen into anger, shame, and panic, but Artoria did not. The girl just thought for a moment and glanced at Merlin.
Merlin understood and shook his head.
With Morgan on guard now, not even Merlin dared to act rashly.
Look at what I'm doing and what I can do.
We can't let him take out his sword and chop everyone here, right?
Therefore, Artoria admitted her identity generously.
"Yes, my real name is Artoria, and I am a woman. But so what? The knowledge I have acquired, the swordsmanship I have honed, and my determination to protect Britain will not change because of my gender."
Be upright and upright, neither humble nor arrogant. That momentum actually made people forget their previous astonishment for a short time.
If she were a male and a prince, she might really be qualified to compete for the throne.
This thought came to mind.
"Sister, if I remember correctly, you will be fifteen this year, right?" Arthur asked softly.
"Yes."
"Ah, what are ordinary fifteen-year-old girls doing at this age? Tea parties, socializing, singing and dancing, laughing at all kinds of things, creating all kinds of interesting things, and bringing stories to people around them to share. My own joy. The face of a fifteen-year-old girl should be filled with the sweetness and bitterness of youth, full of secrets and troubles, as well as charm."
"That's not what I should do. I am King Uther..."
"Yes, you are my father's daughter, my royal sister, and the Princess of Camelot. But a princess should also enjoy her youth and have the troubles of a girl. But all these things that should have happened to you are... Deprived of it. Although it is a bit disrespectful, Sister, you should hate your father and the magician beside you. They took away everything that belongs to you."
Faced with Arthur's whisper, Artoria almost didn't think, and reflexively responded with the truest thought, "I have never hated my father!"
Let alone hate, Artoria couldn't even remember the face of King Uther.
She was sent to the Hector Manor at the age of five, and she didn't even know her identity at first.
"That's right, if you don't hate it, you won't hate it at all."
Contrary to Artoria's expectations, Arthur confirmed the truth of Artoria's words as quickly as possible, just like when she answered.
But the next words made Merlin almost unable to maintain the smile he had been imitating.
"Because the being named Artoria doesn't understand what hate is at all. In this case, how can she hate someone who has no deep impression on her? It's not that she doesn't hate, but she doesn't know how to hate." Arthur glanced at Merlin, his meaning self-evident.
His words are heart-breaking.
The trap set before began to ferment.
The seeds planted in people's hearts grew crazily.
Even hate does not exist, and naturally there is no so-called love. Always calm, he will adopt the coldest, deadly and sharpest tactics against his enemies. He is perfect and ruthless - the ideal king and an inhuman person.
Arthur had publicly and to some extent misinterpreted the [Ideal King] plan before, without naming him.
But now, the identity of the ideal king is not difficult to guess.
When he was five years old, he was sent to the home of Sir Ector, where he concealed his gender and learned knightly skills and various knowledge. In addition, now, the famous Merlin is standing beside him to express his position.
It turned out to be her!
The perfect king will certainly make people look forward to him, bring glory, and can place hope on him.
But there is one thing that cannot be accepted no matter what.
That is, the perfect king himself is an inhuman monster without emotions.
Compared to a non-human ideal king, even a foolish king or a tyrant is much easier to accept.
"I don't blame you, Sister. You have done nothing wrong. You are the victim. But now, at least please don't stand in front of me or block the path forward of Camelot." Arthur looked sincere as he persuaded.
So from the moment I learned the information, the winner was already determined, and any extra struggle was just a dying struggle.
"Oh my, what an overwhelming statement. It seems that my students are no match for you when it comes to playing with people's hearts." Merlin suddenly stood up.
Also, if you don't come out, you won't even have a chance to come out.
But…
It finally came, and sure enough it came.
Arthur's heart felt cold, but he still had a smile on his face.
This was also the first smile that made Artoria feel uncomfortable.
"You should be the one playing with people's hearts, Merlin. I just told the truth, can you deny what I just said?" After a pause, Arthur said again, "Oh, by the way, I shouldn't ask you, lies are one of the things you are best at, you should ask the honest Elder Sister."
"Humph~? Just treat it like that."
Seemingly giving up on unconventional means and ignoring Morgan's cannibalistic gaze, Merlin slowly came to Arthur and said with a smile: "Then you who claim to be the king of ideals, why don't you face the doubts of others? Your Sister Artoria, hasn't recognized you yet, and neither have I."
"Yes, there is no approval, but I will let Sister approve it." As he said that, Arthur put on a dangerous expression, raised the sword of choice in vain, hung it around Merlin's neck, and said coldly: "Before that, as the culprit who made my Sister look like this, please keep quiet for the time being. I said that because of your actions, I have been trying my best to control my anger."
"..."
Merlin was speechless for a moment, not because he was afraid of the threat, but because he discovered that the guy in front of him who looked younger than Arturia was many times more cunning than Morgan, who was known as the Enchantress.
He's really good at taking advantage of loopholes.
Holding on to a handle, he held on tightly and refused to let go. He was sure that if he continued to hinder him, Arthur would put more shit basins over his head, the kind that wouldn't be able to be washed away.
It's simply more shameless than him!
Huh? Why do I think this guy is more shameless than me? Something seems wrong!
"Hmph! You are somewhat self-conscious about being a court magician. So, let me forgive you for the crime of disrespect." Arthur directly pushed Merlin away, with a bit of disdain on his face, and his acting skills exploded.
"I-"
Merlin held back a word and stopped. He didn't want to make the situation worse.
But there is one thing that must be explained!
You really think you are a king, why do I, Merlin, still need you to pardon me?
Don't tell me, I really want it!
If you want to correct your mistakes and if you want Artoria to rise to power, you must stay with Arthur and Artoria. Neither of them will leave Camelot in the future. If they want to survive in Britain, at least in name, they must be innocent.
If he loses today's match with a low winning rate, and Arthur accuses him casually, Merlin will really be restricted in every way, and his decisiveness will be in vain.
You are a cruel kid, just wait for me!
