10 Chapter 10: I will definitely train you into a proper Lancer!

Artorias?!

Another prince, another son of Uther?!

The crowd was in an uproar because Artoria's identity was so shocking.

…And King Uther's disorderly private life ignited the fire of gossip.

"Sorry, although you have drawn the Sword of Choice, according to the prophecy, maybe I should recognize you as the king now. But your origin is too strange. As the son of Uther, I refuse to recognize you as the new king." Arturia said seriously.

On the other hand, Arthur didn't mean to be angry at all, and maintained an easy-going and friendly smile.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, only a few people know my identity. But I know you. You, who was sent to Sir Ector's home to be raised at the age of five, don't know my existence. Not surprising at all."

First, affirm the other person.

Rather than being secretive, it's better to directly acknowledge the other person's identity.

And…

Just as Arthur expected, after a brief moment of astonishment, people's eyes towards Artoria changed unconsciously.

It is no longer looking at a knight's retinue, nor is it looking at the respect or curiosity of the prince, but the fear and slight hostility after observing the inhuman existence.

This is the seed Arthur planted in people's hearts by spending so much time in his speech.

The inhuman king, an existence beyond human beings, was originally destined to be the chosen king with absolute abilities in King Uther's plan.

However, Artoria is a Red Dragon and an inhuman being.

If you are not a human being, you cannot be like a human being, and you can never truly integrate.

"Artorias." Arthur called out his name softly.

Why do you have to stand up? If you look at it honestly, it won't be like this.

But whatever, so what if it's a real red dragon? Now you have the ability to steal the [Sword of Choice], but you can no longer take back the royal power.

The rules of victory have long been established.

"That's not right, my royal sister, Princess of Camelot, Arturia Pendragon."

"——!"

The fake identity, the disguise all along, was revealed so easily?!

Not only Artoria, Merlin was also shocked.

It is true that Merlin made the prophecy of the Chosen King and defeated King Uther ten years ago. But the outcome of that battle was something that was destined to happen, King Uther's battle to the death. The development of the Ideal King plan goes back to before Artoria was born, fifteen years ago.

After Artoria was born, her identity was basically hidden.

Nowadays, apart from Arturia herself, the only people who still know this secret are Merlin, Hector, and Kay, who guessed it.

The confidentiality work has been done very well, and even Morgan doesn't know.

But how did Arthur know this secret?

No! Regardless of how the other party learned about it, the key now is to deal with it.

Crucial.

There is no doubt that Arthur's move directly hit the vital points of Artoria and Merlin.

Being a woman is your Achilles heel.

It's not that he is resisting the Queen's ascension.

Although British tradition prohibits women from being kings, with the introduction of Roman legends and customs, it is no longer difficult for people to accept women as kings, apart from interests.

But in this turbulent period, a brave king is needed to lead the people to resist the enemy. 'Women are not as powerful as men,' is common sense in this era, and people are subconsciously unwilling to accept female kings.

Furthermore, if Artoria is a woman, then as the eldest princess, Morgan should take the throne, right?

If her identity as a woman had been announced from the beginning, people would have elected Morgan to the position.

The throne of Camelot will not be vacant for ten years.

"There's no need to prove this, it's meaningless." As he said that, Arthur pointed at Merlin and said, "Besides, I'm very angry now, Merlin. I know your specialty is illusion, but you'd better not do it. What an unnecessary move. Raising my Younger Sister as a male deprives a young girl of the life she deserves. If it weren't for my father's order, my sword would definitely point at you."

Now that you have decided to take action, do it more thoroughly.

If Artoria's heart is not broken now, it will only turn into bigger trouble in the future.

With this thought, Arthur looked at Morgan. He knew nothing about magic, so naturally he couldn't tell when Merlin would release the illusion, nor could he remove Artoria's resident magic that was suspected of being [Cognitive Distortion].

Defense and cracking require Morgan's help.

However…

Morgan didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. The naive girl didn't know how Arthur knew the secrets. She only thought that Arthur was very handsome now.

So, the girl didn't even hear Arthur's words clearly, she stared at Arthur with starry eyes, and muttered in her mouth, "Hey, hey, my little Arthur is so handsome, he's so great~!" Nonsense.

"...Ahem! Elder Sister, Elder Sister!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

As if waking up from a dream, Morgan looked around in panic and confusion. Then he nervously approached Arthur and asked in a low voice, "Have you won yet? Or do you want me to fight Merlin?"

No, can you beat it?

The weather cleared, the rain stopped, and Morgan felt like he was doing well again.

Arthur didn't want to see that when the sky turned cloudy and rained, Morgan was beaten violently by Merlin again.

Morgan doesn't want face, he still wants it.

In front of so many people, Elder Sister was beaten violently, but he didn't even have the ability to help. What's that?

"Arthur...?"

Everything was seen by Agravain, and Morgan's reaction made the knight doubt his life, and at the same time, he became curious about Arthur, a strange brother.

If it can continue to develop, will that troublesome woman become more honest?

Agravain looked at his nominal mother, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

Tsk, trouble.

"Elder Sister, don't talk nonsense." Arthur was a little embarrassed and said: "You just need to prevent Merlin from using illusions on people. In addition, Artoria seems to have a cognitive distortion magic on her. Can you undo it?"

"Oh? Oh! Got it, no problem, it's such a small thing, it's easy."

Morgan was stunned for a moment, and then uttered the spell that made Arthur's head full of black lines.

On the other side, Artoria didn't have time to react, and Merlin could only watch helplessly as the magic was lifted.

When people took another look, Artoria was still a handsome young man. Although she was dressed in male attire, there was clearly a beautiful girl standing there.

…Although the female characteristics seem a bit...poor?

People looked at Morgan and then at Artoria, and couldn't help but start talking.

"Your Highness Artoria, you are so pitiful."

"It's all Merlin and Uther's fault."

"...Her Highness is still young and still has room for growth. She will definitely be as big as Princess Morgan in the future."

That's for sure!

Arthur couldn't help nodding his head in agreement after hearing this.

But isn't it better to be a Lancer?

What he wants is not just a quilt king. Isn't she delicious in the northern hemisphere? Even if you can't use it, it's still good for your eyes.

Arthur hated Merlin and Uther for trying to cultivate Artoria into a British tablet, and expressed strong condemnation.
