Davidian's Holy Grail War

Davidian's words were so cold that they sent chills down Spriggan's spine, so he quickly led his remaining men away from this dangerous place.

Then came the sound of something falling and breaking through the air. David could roughly guess that it was Bavanshi who had jumped down.

That's good, just as he wished, saving him the trouble of throwing Bavanshi down.

[David! David! What happened?! David!]

The voice of the panhuman Smogen came through; she hadn't expected this to happen.

But now, no matter what she says, David won't hear her—he just finds it annoying.

At this moment, David stood up and looked around at the superior fairies who were still present.

Why are these disgusting beings so stupid? Why didn't they run away with Spriggan? Do they think they can still profit from staying here?

David didn't know if they thought the same way, but it didn't matter. He picked up the Nameless Sword and began to kill them one by one, slowly, bit by bit, cherishing this moment and not wasting a single moment.

The higher-ranking fairies began to wail, and many of them took advantage of the fact that David was slowly dismembering the unfortunate ones he had chosen to run to the door and try to escape.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't open the door.

Before leaving, Spligan locked the door for David from the outside.

Therefore, they could only turn to face David's sharp blade. The rousing curses in the Jade Throne Hall quickly turned into weak wails, and finally into the sound of blood splattering and flowing.

When Noknare arrived at the throne hall and opened the door, the pungent smell of blood hit her so hard that she almost couldn't handle it.

What she then saw in the hall made her eyes widen in disbelief—there were only the corpses of the high-ranking fairies and blood splattered all over the hall.

The only thing that wasn't tainted by the filthy blood of the fairy... was that enormous jade throne.

Chapter 441 But Not the End

Just then, Ritsuka and the others heard the bells ringing from the royal city. As they wondered what the bells meant, a messenger arrived and explained the situation to them.

"Just now, the Noknare army sent word that I have arrived at the throne, and as proof, I will ring the bell of victory."

Queen Morgan has died in the throne room due to infighting among the fairy officials, and all the officials who served the queen have been killed by Lord Camelot in his final counterattack.

The throne has been taken over by the Noknare army. Furthermore, the meritorious Spriggan has been temporarily appointed as the head of the six clans.

Upon hearing this, everyone was incredulous. Custer even asked several times if Morgan was truly murdered and no longer in this world.

The messenger immediately replied that Spligan had personally confirmed that Morgan had died in Davidian's arms, and there was absolutely no doubt about that.

Ritsuka hurriedly asked if Bavanshi had been found, but the messenger said that Bavanshi's body had not been found there, nor in the entire castle.

Ritsuka wore a sorrowful expression at that moment. Perhaps Bamanshi is no longer here...

The messenger continued to tell them that the remaining surviving Queen's Knights had all surrendered, and that they could now gather at the throne once their wounds were healed.

Although it is regrettable that Lord Castor failed to seize the throne, the war is finally over, and it is a victory for their rebel army.

"From now on, I'll be busy with other things, because I need to prepare for the glorious day of welcoming Queen Morgan's successor... no, I mean the new leader of Britain, for the coronation ceremony!"

Everyone smiled, but then Ritsuka began to wail in distress: "Wait! If Noknare wins! Then I'll become Noknare's queen?! This kind of thing... this kind of thing is too early for me!"

His wailing made everyone around him laugh. They could figure out a solution later. If all else failed, he could always elope—there'd always be a way, wouldn't there?

"Let's heal our injuries first, then go check on Noknare. Father should be back in his seat by now." Gareth remained calm; after all, they hadn't witnessed everything firsthand, so they still needed to go.

Everyone nodded in agreement with his idea, and after a brief recovery, they headed towards the royal city, but were stopped in their tracks by Noknare, who had returned.

It wasn't that she didn't want them to go to the Throne Hall, but rather that the Throne Hall was simply not suitable for them to visit in the current state. Blood was still dripping from the ceiling, and her subordinates were still struggling to move corpses; the scene was truly horrifying.

Just from Noknare's description, Ritsuka and the others could probably imagine what the Throne Hall looked like. David's final madness was enough to make anyone with a weak mind vomit in that hall, so it was best to stay away for now.

"Don't think about these things now. You guys should find a nice place to rest for a few days, and then come to the coronation ceremony. Fujimaru Ritsuka, you'd better wear something appropriate, after all, you'll be the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom from now on..."

"But is this really alright? Caster, I know I got a huge advantage in this battle."

Noknare's meaning was clear: while everyone else had run into Morgan's clone, she didn't have Lord Camelot on her side. Caster was also facing even greater pressure from Morgan; it was unfair competition, and Noknare felt bad about it.

"It's alright, it's alright! You can have the throne! I'm going back to Tintarjeel. But you can't keep clinging to Fujimaru Ritsuka forever! He has his own things to do and can't stay here forever."

Hearing this, Noknare gave a knowing yet slightly annoyed smile. She could only say, "Let her use it for a month, no problem! Just one month! One month!"

Everyone suppressed their laughter, and Ritsuka could only laugh helplessly along with them. They'd probably have run away long ago by then; it would be a miracle if Noknare could use them for three days.

The group left Camelot amidst laughter and conversation. During the process, they also decided on the location for the coronation ceremony. Noknare decided to hold it at the Great Cathedral in Salisbury, as it was currently the most solemn ceremony venue in the Fairy Kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Ritsuka's expression immediately changed, and everyone could tell from his expression that he had remembered something.

He hadn't forgotten Gareth's grudge at all. Now it was time to demand an explanation from Aurora. If she couldn't give an explanation with words or actions, then Ritsuka might use her head to give an explanation at Gareth's grave.

Da Vinci entrusted the task of dismantling the Holy Lance to Percival, as he felt most at ease letting him handle the matter.

Ritsuka thought this was a good idea, and it would also avoid the awkwardness that followed. After all, Percival's sister was that Melyuchina, and it would be very difficult for him to face those two directly.

"But are you really alright? I have a feeling something's not quite right about you."

Da Vinci brought up this again, but Percival simply waved his hand dismissively, saying that he would definitely do his best to fulfill the request, as it was a way of repaying everyone's kindness.

The group returned to their camp outside the city, laughing and enjoying a relaxing rest. Mashu went to see Bagst; being a fellow female knight, she wanted to speak with him.

Ritsuka stayed by Caster's side, and the two of them enjoyed the tranquility after the great battle.

"Well~ I never expected you to give up that position like that. In the end, you're still just a country girl~ Country girl! You're not some prophetic child at all, just an ordinary girl."

Ritsuka joked beside her, and the two of them sat on the ground leaning against each other, gazing at Camelot in the distance.

"Considering the future of Britain, this is the best choice! And the reason I'm still here is because Oberon stepped in to save me; my journey should have ended there..."

In the end, I was no match for Morgan in any way, which was a very strong sense of frustration…

Ritsuka laughed at her words, unable to help but wonder if it was this sense of defeat that caused her lack of confidence. Caster, how clumsy!

"It doesn't matter~ Besides, I actually know nothing about politics. I might as well hand over the task of becoming the next queen to Noknare, and I can go back to my hometown and retire. Everyone will definitely come out to welcome me and praise me, saying, 'Well done, prophet!'"

However, Ritsuka turned his head away in disbelief upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say that Tintagel had been destroyed, Caster also turned around and poked his head out...

Even a fleeting, light touch was enough to shut Ritsuka up completely. He could see the pleading in Castor's eyes, begging him not to reveal these things.

In the end, Ritsuka could only choose to remain silent.

Chapter 442 Crowning Ceremony

Three days have passed; Ritsuka and the others have spent three days in Salisbury. These three days have been very peaceful...

It wasn't that they didn't want to confront Aurora, but rather that Aurora "happened" to have left Salisbury for Gloucester, supposedly because she had received an invitation from Murray and was going to stay there for a while.

She won't be coming back for a while, so Ritsuka and the others have no choice but to give up for now.

After all, they can't exactly chase them all the way to Gloucester; otherwise, Murrayne would turn against them. The coronation ceremony starts today, so let's focus on the present.

"Spligan is on the second floor, and the rest are all famous fairies! But you are no less impressive. Although you have relinquished the throne, you are still the great contributors to the conquest of Camelot!"

Caster was happily frolicking around Ritsuka, but Ritsuka herself wasn't bothered to stop her. After all, it was a happy day, so she let her be.

However, after seeing the seats assigned to them, Caster still felt a bit awkward... Why were they at the very back of the first floor?!

"It's like arranging seating for friends of friends... like family and friends seats..."

Caster was so embarrassed he was practically digging his toes into his shoes, but Ritsuka still smiled and reassured him that it was okay, they could just sit there, so it would be easier to make a run for it later.

The main problem is that Noknare's idea is a bit outrageous; she plans to announce here in front of everyone that she will be choosing a princess.

Even though the outcome is predetermined, pretending to randomly select a special human in this situation can still be helpful for governing the country later on.

Just then, Percival walked in, and everyone was curious about his presence. Percival could only explain apologetically that he was supposed to be dismantling the Holy Lance right now, but Bagst insisted that he come to the coronation ceremony.

"How can it be proper for the leader of the Round Table Army to not attend? Go now, leave this to me. Is that what you said?"

Mash easily guessed what Bagst had said, and Percival had to admit she was right. Incidentally, Bagst had also asked him to give Mash his regards.

Da Vinci couldn't help but praise her for being such a considerate guardian, and she also inquired about the dismantling of the Holy Lance.

Percival also said that everything was going well, the dismantling work was progressing very smoothly, and it should be completed during the day today, so that it could be moved to Salisbury tomorrow night.

This was good news for everyone, and just then, Caster signaled to everyone to stop chatting. Noknare had already made her appearance; it was now her turn.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Noknare, dressed in a white gown, slowly made her entrance. The gown perfectly complemented her skin tone and hair color. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim how incredibly beautiful she was!

"Damn it~ Noknare, although I'm full of resentment, it was really amazing!"

As her best frenemy, Caster couldn't help but cheer for her friend. "Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! Noknare deserves all the praise!"

Spligan was the host, despite still being injured. He had truly made a great contribution to the operation, so the hosting duties were handed over to him.

The rest of the ceremony proceeded as they had predicted. However, just as Noknare drank the wine and began her coronation declaration, and everyone thought everything would end smoothly, an unexpected event occurred…

"We must expose them! Noknare is not worthy of the title of queen! We must expose the tyranny that is taking place in the north! A cruel tyranny is being practiced in the north!"

Fairies who have been given Noknare's blood will become her slaves, unable to resist her any longer! All their movements will be restricted, they will be forced into military service, and their fairy duties will be stripped away!

The other royal clans who followed were still talking about the Mos disease. The so-called treatment was nothing more than transferring Mos's curse onto worthless fairies, forcing them to die! And that wasn't all; they would be turned into giant soldiers and become slaves of Noknare!

“Cast, Mash, get ready, something’s not right. This is someone’s usual tactic.”

Ritsuka felt that this situation was all too familiar, so she had Castor and Mash prepare for battle. If things went wrong, they would at least have the power to support Noknare.

Noknare angrily defended herself, claiming those people had voluntarily sacrificed themselves to save their compatriots, and that she had obtained their consent. She even argued that they had become a force to overthrow Morgan, and in return, she had paid them; this was absolutely not persecution!

"Then what lies beneath Queen City? How do you explain that terrifying structure?!" But these people were clearly prepared; they actually started talking about Meb at this moment.
