And my height increased to be 148 cm. At this time, I was more focused on increasing my height than my stats.

Anyway, two years have passed since King Arthur won his first battle at the mouth of a river called Glein.

In the past two years, King Arthur fought numerous battles and won all of them. The second, the third, the fourth and the fifth battles were on another river, called the Dubglas, which is in the region of Linnuis.

His legends were echoing all around the island even outside of Britain. Many knights all around the world came and swear an oath to King Arthur. Many other knights also joined the round table.

Gawain and Bedivere were the first to join. They forge their way out in battles and proved their worth as Knights of the Round Table.

Gawain was so far strongest among the knights after me and Artoria. He was strong and loyal to King Arthur. He was also the one who lead the armies on his own against minor countries and emerged victoriously.

Bedivere, although he was not very strong, he wise and had a bright will that raises the morale of knights. He was also the managing officer of the knights, administering affairs of Knights as well as other matters.

Among the new knights who joined the round table, two princes stand out the most. You could remember them as Lancelot and Tristan.

Lancelot joined the round table only after a month of serving as a knight. The reasons were two of his distinguishing features. One was his strength that was similar or stronger than Gawain and his holy weapon forged by Vivian, Arondight.

I remember my mother telling me that she raised another son beside me and she gave a weapon to him.

Lancelot du lac has a son name Galahad who was still a child around 13 years old and was showing good skills as a knight. However, I don't think that they had a harmonious relationship like father and son.

Galahad would rather train under me than a fine knight like his father.

Both of them joined Artoria after the word of her feats roams in France.

Anyway, I have a good relationship with both of them. Lancelot is polite and composed and started treating me like a little brother since we both have the same foster mother. However, he was somewhat childish and… an M.

On other hand, Tristan was also the knight who has strength that speaks like strings. He joined Artoria's army after he was forced to leave the royal court.

To serve under a great king, he also joined Artoria and after seeing her flawless victories, he didn't hesitate to stand by her side.

Tristan is a child born from Rivalen, the King of Leonois, and Blancheflor, the younger sister of Mark, prince of Cornwall.

Apart from this, he didn't tell us anything. Maybe because of his sad past and his tragic love story so we didn't pester him further.

I also knew about his legends from Tristan and Iseult. However, I didn't know much about him as compared to other knights.

He was a passive knight whose facial expression always remained that of a sad poet so he didn't get along with anyone but only me since we both are poets.

He also carries his weapon which was a bow with magical strings that he flicks off the air by shaking this string, firing what should be called a vacuum arrow.

"So this is it for today. Thank you my fellow knights for your presence." Artoria finished her meeting. She was now wearing her trademark blue attire. Although she looked like a girl, she was using a mystic code that lets others perceive her as male.

"This is our honor, my king." It was Gawain. He had become Artoria's boot licker after she rescued him from an evil demon (me). He basically worships King Arthur where he will serve her no matter what. A good dog he became. Although he was using a magical weapon, he was still the only knight on the upper part ranking of Round Table who doesn't have a distinguished holy weapon.

"That's right. We will soon reach Camelot. It is just a matter of time, right Sir Einar?" It was my older brother Lancelot du lac. He had short violet hair and handsome features with bright armor. He was the third person who treated me like a family apart from Brother Kay and Artoria.

"Can we talk about something else? Like fishing or… fishing?" I said dryly. They were so into the victories and such that I was starting to get bored. Mainly because I was the only one who likes to make jokes and lighten the mood.

"Sir Einar is just like water lily, very light that brightens the environment and fragrant with a strong will that defeats enemy beautifully," Tristan said and flicked strings of his harp, producing melodies. "Sad yet beautiful."

He had crimson long hair and squinted eyes like Asians.

When he spoke, every knight present opened their eyes wide realizing that the man was awake and not sleeping because his eyes were always close. Artoria was among such who was having a hard time keeping with Tristan whether he was sleeping or awake.

Every knight likes me here whether through fear or respect… Well almost all of them fear me, even Artoria except Tristan who respects me for my skills.

"Where is Merlin?" Bedivere asked.

"Well, he was busy past days so now he playing with maidens. What is a good term for him?" Artoria asked.

"Pussy magnet?" I raised a brow.

"Pussy magnet- Wait! Sir Einar, control your language!" She scolded me by I could see her ahoge swinging left and right meaning that she laughed internally. Other knights also chuckled but composed themselves.

"Okay, I will go for walk," I said and got up to leave but not before asking a riddle to Tristan. "What can fill the room but takes up no space?"

"Light!" Artoria.

"It's light." Lancelot.

"King's majestic aura." It was Gawain.

"Air?" Airhead Bedivere.

"Holy light?" Tristan.

"I am out." Kay

"Wrong. It is fart."

I shrugged my shoulders and left before I could hear their curses and swears.

I came to a forest to take a rest and freshen my mind.

"Sigh*. When will I leave this place?" It has been two years and we were still trying to chase after Camelot.

I was trying to look for a good time to leave her side. There was much need for me since all the existing knights were capable to lead armies on their own. Merlin was also good support and mage whose magecraft was more versatile than mine.

My magecraft is based on firepower while his magic is very versatile. He could even make a mouse a cat if he wishes for. I am against this kind of magic. I don't like to meddle with the laws of nature.

Magecraft and mages are often involved in dirty works since they have to polish their skills by experimenting on animals and sometimes even on humans but I dislike such practice. Sure I also have done some experiments on animals but I made sure to suck the life from them first leaving a soulless body that can't feel pain.

I will kill anyone who stands against me or my loved ones but I am not a ruthless person.

meaw*

I heard a cry when I was strolling and saw a baby lion cub injured near the tree. I could hear baboons so I guessed that this is the work of filthy Saiyans.

"Aw, don't cry little one~," I said and cast a healing spell on the cub.

He was first afraid of me but after I cast a healing spell that has the essence of a fay, he calmed down and started cuddling in my arms.

"Someone will be delightful to take care of this baby." I took the lion cub in my arms and left.
