18 Chapter 18: I didn’t expect you to be this kind of Kay

The next day, Camelot.

Before the sky is completely bright, the streets are filled with a festive atmosphere, and people are in high spirits as if they are waiting for something.

The official handover ceremony of the throne!

In other words, after today, they will accept the rule of King Arthur. According to the prophecy of the Flower Magician, there will no longer be any fear of Saxon invasion, and Britain will enter a prosperous age.

But their king doesn't seem to be in good condition at the moment.

There were deep dark circles under his eyes, and his complexion was pale. This is not just about not sleeping well, it's almost not sleeping well for several nights, which makes people look like this.

"Tsk! Nobles, nobles, nobles, nobles again! Is this how it was during Uther's time? All power is in the hands of the nobles. What kind of king is this?"

Arthur held a roster in his hand, which recorded the many nobles in Camelot and the corresponding positions they held.

During the ten years when the throne was vacant, the entire power of Camelot was almost divided among the powerful nobles. Every time he thinks about this, Arthur is extremely dissatisfied. If the nobles simply controlled a large amount of wealth and enjoyed a luxurious life, they would just stay in the fiefdom. Since he has the title of nobility and enjoys these, Arthur can tolerate it.

But not only during the period when the throne was vacant, even when Uther was still there, many nobles held very important power.

And these will make Arthur, the king, restricted everywhere, and many plans to develop Camelot will not be implemented.

"If you give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to solve it." He sighed.

There is no way, today is the day to be crowned king. Morgan's side is not processing it fast enough and cannot delay it any longer. He must get the support of some nobles.

Helpless, he picked up another stack of documents from the table and signed his name with an unhappy face.

"Okay, Lord Draven, please give this to Lord Aggravain."

"Yes, my king."

Not long after Draven left, the door opened again, and this time, it was Kay.

The knight with a ferocious face frowned at first, then bowed and said respectfully, "My king, today is the day you wear the crown. According to your order, I will serve as your guard. In addition, even if you are the king, please also pay attention to your appearance in private."

"It's so troublesome. There are always people nagging in my ears these days. I originally thought that you were not the kind of person who cares about details. Kay, I am very disappointed in you." Arthur immediately put on a disgusting card expression.

"Yeah, most of the time, I don't mind little things like that, but today is special, especially to you."

"So that's why you're going in the direction of Lancelot?"

"It's just the etiquette a knight should have."

Kay was unmoved by Arthur's obviously teasing question.

But this really made Arthur feel uncomfortable.

"I still like your attitude towards me when we first met."

"...Are you an M, pervert king!"

What the hell are you——

"Forget it, just be venomous. Anyway, I didn't expect you to be truly loyal to me at the beginning." Arthur waved his hand tiredly.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kay's loyalty to him was for Artoria. Strictly speaking, the relationship between the two was only mutually beneficial. So, in every way, he would be very tolerant of Kay. At the same time, it was also decided that Kay would not be placed in an important position.

Incidentally, Arthur has a strong case of persecution paranoia.

Ever since he time traveled, this guy hasn't felt safe for a moment.

"With all due respect, King Arthur, what you just said is an insult to a knight." Kay frowned, making his already ferocious features become even more ferocious. He said seriously, "Please revise your evaluation of me. Since I have chosen to be loyal, I will definitely carry out my loyalty to the end, no matter what happens."

"Oh? That's okay, I will give the order now to expel Arturia from Camelot." Arthur tried in a joking tone.

Surprisingly, Kay hesitated for two seconds and then nodded seriously, "So, do you need me to convey the order now?"

"...You actually don't refute it?" Arthur was stunned. Is this guy so heartless?

"Being driven out of Camelot will keep us away from conflicts, which may be a good thing for Artoria."

"Forget it, no more joking." Arthur suddenly felt bored and said nonchalantly, "Kay, maybe you should spend more time with Merlin, that way you will become as interesting as before."

Kay's body shook violently, and veins appeared on his forehead, "Even if it's a joke, please don't say such horrible things. Only that bastard will never be forgiven!"

Apparently, he was very angry.

It was right to think about it. As the day of being crowned king came, many nobles came and went to Camelot recently, which made Merlin want to have some fun.

However, Merlin's "childlike innocence" is a nightmare for Kay.

"Do you know what that despicable bastard did to me?!"

"What can Merlin do to you? You two grown men..." Arthur said calmly. As a time traveler from the 21st century, what kind of storms and waves have you never experienced? How can you still be shocked by your jaw?

If he proposes to you, maybe I can be really surprised. I will wait until your wedding and bless you while eating melon.

"That bastard incubus used illusions to disguise himself as me and almost tricked a countess into sleeping with him, and she happened to be discovered by her husband. He did it on purpose, that bastard definitely did it on purpose! On my way here just now, Those two earls and their wives are still pestering me!" Kay gritted his teeth and recounted his recent experience.

Arthur was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal.

Damn it, I've never seen this done before!

Not bad, Merlin is not a normal human being.

"Ahem, let's get back to the point. Kay, Merlin came to my place yesterday and asked me to let you go."

"Choosing allegiance to you is my own will."

"But if this continues, Artoria might be resentful."

"It doesn't matter if she is resented by my adopted sister. As long as she can get ordinary happiness, no matter what I have to pay, I will... No, I should say, if she can hate like a normal person, I will be happy." Kay said, his words were full of determination.

That realization made Arthur silent.

"... You love and protect Artoria to such an extent, Kay, is your love for Artoria really limited to a brother?"

Good guy, I didn't expect you to be this kind of Kay. If Merlin hadn't interfered with this, you might have implemented the Genji plan for Artoria long ago. Gee, what an evil guy, so enviable.

Arthur's melon-eating soul burned brightly.

"What do you mean?" Kay was stunned for a moment.

Kay would never have imagined that his king would actually look at him the same way he looked at a pervert.
