……

It would take about two or three hours to get from the forest where the flying boat landed to the Camelot Palace, even if you hurried. If you took a small path, you would pass through a dense forest.

King Marco's manor is located deep in this dense forest.

It can be said that it is a quiet and secluded place.

The sound of horse hooves rang out in the rainy night, and Tristan was on his way to the Camelot Palace.

"Strange...why are all the barriers around the manor gone?"

When passing King Marco's manor, Tristan slowed down his horse and subconsciously turned his head to look at the large manor in the dense forest on the left.

When Alvin sneaked in with Tiamat before, the barriers in the manor had actually been broken a lot, but at least Alvin was still relatively polite and destroyed any barrier.

And after that, King Marco also asked someone to reinforce it.

But now...

There wasn't even a protective barrier left in the manor.

Did something happen to my uncle?

Tristan was startled and was about to ride forward.

However, amidst the sound of the dripping rain, a cold and pleasant voice suddenly came.

"Finally, I've met a decent opponent... Compared to the people I just encountered, your magic power is obviously much stronger."

Feeling the faintly suppressed terrifying atmosphere, Tristan's heart trembled and he looked in the direction of the sound.

Not far ahead stood a woman in a white dress, with a cool and elegant temperament, a beautiful face, and a hint of weirdness hidden in her enchanting red eyes.

Tristan frowned and asked, "A time traveler?"

There are a large number of time travelers from the present world appearing in Britain today. When he saw the other party, his first reaction was naturally that he was a time traveler.

However, the other party did not respond to his intention, but just said to himself: "Judging from your appearance, you should be the Knight of the Round Table that the noble just mentioned."

"Originally, I was thinking about how to get Bai Long out of the palace... but it seems that there is no need to think of a solution anymore."

"As long as you are in danger, I think Bailong will not stand by and watch you die, right?"

Clang!

The moment her voice fell, a silver sword light flashed in the dark rainy night.

Tristan had already disappeared on his horse, stabbing the blonde with his sword.

There was blood flowing from the woman's shoulder, gradually staining her white skirt and fair skin red.

She grasped the sword with her other hand, looked up at the red-haired knight coldly, and said, "Don't knights need to introduce themselves before a duel?"

Tristan's expression was tense, and every hair on his body seemed to be sounding an alarm.

Something is wrong!

He had clearly stabbed the other person, but he clearly did not feel any signs of the woman's life energy being lost.

"Well, let me introduce myself first, just to give Bai Long some refreshment before he arrives."

The blonde woman slowly raised her head, a cold smile appearing on her face.

"Moon King, remember my name!"

……

Camelot Palace.

There was silence in the King's Hall, with only a few people present looking at each other in confusion.

From the Moon…?

When hearing Merlin's words, not only Artoria, but even Alvin was confused.

The moon, no matter how it sounds, is an extremely distant and magical place.

If someone had told Alvin before that there were living creatures on the moon, he would never have believed it.

However, this is the Type-Moon world.

And according to the information Alvin knew... there were indeed extremely powerful creatures on the moon.

But even Alvin didn't expect that such a creature would actually descend upon Britain...?

And according to Merlin, there are far more than one enemy descending upon Britain?

Altria's holy blue eyes examined Merlin for a long moment.

She first raised her hand to clear out the crowd in the King's Hall. When only three people were left, she slowly said, "Merlin, please explain clearly. What you just said is that there are two enemies this time, and one of them is from the moon...?"

Having the ability to descend upon this planet from another planet... no matter how you think about it, the other party's strength is probably unfathomable.

When she thought of this, Artoria's heart couldn't help but feel heavy.

Over this period of time, there have been some dissatisfied voices among the British nobles due to the cooperation between the two sides, and there is also Morgan le Fay in the palace who may explode at any time.

And outside of Britain, there are enemy countries from other regions.

In this situation, there is still a terrible enemy lurking in Britain?

Altria sat on the throne, her face expressionless, but she was already thinking about the subsequent plans in her mind.

Alvin looked at the white-haired wizard with a suspicious look and said hesitantly, "Have you used your clairvoyance to spy on him? Do you know what he looks like?"

"You think too highly of me. My clairvoyance can indeed observe the present, but if I were to face a strong enemy, I would be detected by them while I was observing them."

Merlin revealed a helpless look and sighed, "To avoid alerting the other party, I didn't use my clairvoyance to spy on him, so I don't know his identity."

"However, that person's aura is very powerful... That's certain." Merlin said this with a bit more seriousness in his tone.

Altria was silent for a moment, and the expression on her face became much more serious.

Although Merlin is usually careless, he doesn't exaggerate when it comes to things like this.

Merlin takes him so seriously...it's not hard to imagine how powerful this guy from the moon is.

"I wonder what the other party wants to do..." Altria said quickly and softly.

"Both the man on the moon and the master of the flying boat appeared shortly after Gaia's arrival."

Merlin's tone was quite meaningful as he said quietly, "I'm afraid this incident is related to the two major inhibitory forces and the people who were at the center of them at the time."

Merlin glanced at Alvin casually at the end of his speech. "In other words, wherever Gaia chooses someone, that's where the center of this trouble might be..."

Altria looked at Merlin expressionlessly and whispered, "Merlin, if you want to say something, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Merlin shrugged, a smile on his face. "King, I've made everything clear, haven't I?"

Even though the white-haired wizard usually talks and laughs with Alvin, if he has to choose the person he hates the most... it would undoubtedly be Alvin.

For Nightmare, who can use his clairvoyance to see everything and even guess other people's thoughts, the most annoying thing is this kind of uncertain guy.

What's more, Alvin's power [Night Watcher] can block all perceptions...including clairvoyance.

After all this fuss, it turns out that little Merlin was waiting for me here... Alvin glanced at him and suddenly said, "Do you think if I leave Britain now, he will leave with me?"

"Alvin—"

Altria looked up and was about to speak, but Alvin immediately signaled her with his eyes.

Merlin shook his head slightly. "I'm not sure about that, but it's not impossible..."

"That's enough, Merlin!"

Altria suddenly looked up at the white-haired wizard and said, "I don't want you to say such things again. Whether it's Alvin or anyone else from Britain, I will never abandon them. You should know this!"

Yes... the king should protect everything in Britain, including her people and even her subordinates. This was the decision that Artoria had made when she became the king of Britain.

Even though she has faced many doubts along the way, her determination has never wavered.

"I know you're not that kind of person, but you seem a little too relaxed lately, so I'm a little worried that you won't be able to protect anything in the end."

Merlin smiled and said, "You haven't seemed like the revered king you once were lately."

There was no sign of anger as imagined, as if some soft spot had been touched, and Artoria fell silent for a moment.

At this time, Merlin asked tentatively: "If there is nothing else, I will withdraw first?"

There was no sound in the King's Hall for a long time until Merlin left.

Alvin walked up to the woman and whispered, "Don't think too much."

Altria shook her head slightly and said, "Thinking about it carefully, I have indeed been too relaxed recently. This is not a good thing for Britain."

After returning from Alvin, the first thing she thought of was the boy, and even her tense nerves relaxed.

While this kind of relaxed state is good for an individual, as a king, considering the current situation in Britain, it is not a good thing...

"Anything else you want to say?" Alvin asked.

"Since you came back, Sister Wang has been staying in the palace. Although we haven't clashed again, if this continues, the situation might return to the same level as before, and you might even die again..."

Altria lowered her eyes slightly and whispered, "I was wondering... if I let you leave with the princess, would it be better for you, and for Britain?"

"What about you?" Alvin suddenly asked.

"Will I continue to sit alone on the throne, competing with the nobles and even the enemy troops on the border, and even have to face the doubts of some of the people of Britain?"

"It's okay even if Morgan and I leave?"

Artoria stopped talking. Her eyes, which used to be majestic and noble, dimmed slightly. She lowered her head. In front of Alvin, she could take off all her disguises as a king and reveal the simple and happy Artoria she was when they were together day and night in the past.

Because of this, she was reluctant to let Alvin leave, even though she knew that if he stayed in the palace, he would sooner or later be involved in various troubles.

This is one of the few selfish desires of King Arthur.

Although she always looks like she doesn't understand people's hearts, she actually understands everything. She just needs to suppress her feelings in front of outsiders because she is King Arthur and she cannot let everyone down.

But if possible, who doesn't want to be a free person?

But the burden of Britain did not allow her to do so.

Altria slowly calmed herself down. She always felt depressed when she kept some things in her heart, but she seemed to feel better after saying them out loud in front of Alvin. Although the problems in Britain were still not solved, at least there were still people who cared about her - not the country, but Altria.
