Davidian's Holy Grail War

Why? Why did it turn out like this?

Upon hearing David's words, Gareth regained a sliver of consciousness and, with her last strength, uttered, "You've come... Dad..."

Then, Gareth's life force was extinguished. Davidian roared in anguish, venting his anger, but after this meaningless roar...

He took off his cloak and wrapped it around Gareth's body. He was in so much pain that he wanted to cry because he had lost so much today, so much that even someone like him felt heartbroken.

When Gawain arrived at the execution ground, he only saw David Ann holding something. But when he saw Gabrielle beside him, Gawain understood what David Ann was holding.

That's Gareth, without a doubt.

At the same time, Gawain saw David's grief-stricken face and his blood-soaked clothes. David didn't care about the stares of others. He held Gareth's gradually cooling body and left.

He couldn't change the fact that Gareth had been murdered; all he could do now was decide where Gareth should be buried.

At this moment, he had made up his mind that he had to do something about what Lancelot had done.

Chapter 151 Father and Daughter

David placed Gareth in the coffin and closed his eyes, recalling all the moments he shared with Gareth.

Two days have passed since Lancelot's robbery of the execution ground, and thanks to Merlin's magic, Gareth's wounds have healed.

However, Gareth's soul is no longer in this body; if anything, she has ascended to heaven.

Davidian personally dug her burial site in the garden, right next to Agraven's cemetery. Gahoris was also buried there, only two hours earlier than Gareth.

When the recollection ended, David closed the coffin lid and, together with Winchenrib, buried her in the ground. The two remained silent, and no one else dared approach.

Even Gawain, the eldest of the five siblings, stood only three or four steps away from them, watching David and Winzenrib complete all of this.

But Gao Wen's face was filled with uncontrollable rage. Even though his expression didn't change, his brows and the corners of his eyes were filled with the anger of his younger brother and sister-in-law being killed.

He only had four younger siblings, three of whom were killed by Lancelot. He felt he wouldn't be human if he could swallow this insult.

However, our king ordered them to restrain themselves and forbade them from pursuing Lancelot. Davidian agreed to this without expression, and although Gawain argued his case, he ultimately failed to change our king's mind.

Therefore, he could only endure until now, feeling that he was on the verge of losing his mind. He could transform into a vengeful beast at any moment and tear Lancelot's throat apart.

Bedivere, Kay, and Mordred did not defy the king's will. After all, even King Arthur, the person directly involved, chose not to pursue the matter, so let it be.

When the last handful of soil was placed on top, Davidan planted the tombstone in the ground. The words on the tombstone were carved by him, one by one, with his dark sword, Moonshade.

Although it was somewhat strange to carve words on a tombstone with such a holy sword, that's exactly what David wanted to do.

Then he looked at Gawain, his face becoming unusually serious. Davidon gave Gawain an undeniable air of authority and commanded:

"Sir Gawain! This is the will of Lord Camelot. Take ten warriors from the Sixth Company of the Glorious Perpetual Legion and go! Bring back the holy sword of the traitor Lancelot. You must do it by any means necessary! Even killing the traitor Lancelot is worthwhile."

Standing behind, Winge Lieb couldn't help but widen his eyes. What kind of double-dealing was this?

That day, when our king said not to pursue Lancelot, you, David, were the first to nod and say you wouldn't. But now you're directly ordering Gawain to hunt down Lancelot in the name of Lord Camelot?

Meanwhile, in Wingenipeg's memory, this was the first time Davidian had secretly defied King Arthur's orders. Despite the king's decree, Davidian, at this crucial moment, issued another order in the name of Lord Camelot.

Has he gone mad, or has the world changed? How could things have turned out this way?

However, Gawain immediately obeyed David's will, saying in a deep voice, "Sun Knight Gawain! By the order of Lord Camelot, I will immediately set out to pursue Lancelot and bring back the Holy Sword Arondette!"

"Go quickly! He can't possibly leave fast with the princess. You can still intercept them before they set sail. Retrieve the Holy Sword and bring the princess back with you! If she resists, kill her."

Davidian had no emotion left; his commands were colder than ever before.

Gawain accepted Davidian's will and then quickly left the palace courtyard, heading towards the stables.

He knew exactly where the soldiers of the Sixth Company were. He was going to take ten elite soldiers with him and cut off Lancelot's head to pay tribute to his younger brother and sister-in-law.

“Go, Winzenrib, go and complete your daily patrol. I need some time alone to think things over.”

David shooed Winchenrib away as well, as he was now unwilling to have much contact with others. Although Winchenrib wanted to say something, he knew his legion commander's temper and knew that saying anything now would only make things worse.

So he bowed and left the courtyard, while David drew his dark sword and re-entered the dark space. He had a question he needed to understand. And to understand it, he had to find someone.

When he stepped out of the dark space, Davian was already in the courtyard of Orkney Palace. He had only been here once in his life. And now, for the answer to the question in his heart, he had to come here again.

"What a rare guest! I never thought you'd ever come looking for me." A melodious voice appeared in David's ear, and David turned around to look.

Morgan was standing there, as if she had expected David Ann to come and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

“I thought I would never set foot in this place again in my life. But now I have to come. I only have one question, Gareth… whose child is she?”

David asked the question that had been on his mind for two days, a question that was currently his biggest concern.

Indeed, Gareth called Davian "father" before he died. Davian initially thought it was Gareth's longing for King Loth, since she probably hadn't seen King Loth before Gareth could remember, so it was normal for her to have feelings for her father.

But then Davian felt increasingly uneasy; she and King Loth had absolutely no resemblance in appearance. Moreover, Gareth had been with her for nearly ten years, and she had never shown any signs of longing or affection for King Loth.

If it were just a day or two, that would be fine, but this is almost a full ten years! If Davidian didn't even notice, then how well must Gareth have been hiding?

Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, he came to a terrifying, horrifying conclusion. Upon reaching this conclusion, he felt a chill run through him and even experienced a sense of fear.

And now, he has come here to verify this conclusion.

“She’s my child, what’s wrong with that? I carried her for ten months before giving birth to her.” Morgan chuckled as she gave the correct answer, but it wasn’t the answer Davidian wanted to hear. She was just being perfunctory, just torturing Davidian’s heart.

Under these circumstances, Davidian went berserk and shouted, "Tell me who the child's father is! Tell me!"

Upon hearing this question, Morgan let out a satisfied, smug laugh, a laugh filled with her malice towards Davidian and the pleasure of her cunning scheme succeeding.

She strolled up to David, tiptoed slightly, and whispered in his ear:

"It's you, my David. You are the child's biological father. King Roth is only her nominal father. Gareth's real biological father has always been you."

So, have you felt a sense of joy and connection with your daughter during these nearly ten years together? Tell me, what were your thoughts when you heard her call you "Dad" in her dying moments?

Chapter 152 Falling Down

"Gao Wenqing left Camelot? Did he go after Lancelot? How could that be? Didn't I give orders not to cause trouble for Lancelot?"

Artoria's eyes widened in disbelief. How could such a thing happen? It was precisely because she didn't want to see any more sacrifices that she had explicitly forbidden anyone from causing trouble for Lancelot, yet Gao Wenqing had actually launched an attack on his own?

Merlin, who reported this to Artoria, explained, "Of course, someone gave the order. Lancelot's actions have gone too far, to the point that someone couldn't stand it anymore. It was he who sent Gawain to pursue him."

Of course, even without his order, Gawain would eventually take the initiative. The matter had already reached this point.

“Someone gave the order… David!” Artoria immediately realized who had given Gawain permission to attack, and she was incredulous.

When she gave the order, Davian was the first to nod and say she wouldn't do such a thing. But just two days later, Davian had completely forgotten about all that and directly ordered Gawain to hunt down Lancelot.

"Of course, after all, his important daughter was killed. He would never tolerate it and had to take action to make Lancelot pay for his crime in blood."

Merlin suddenly stopped talking, realizing then that his old bad habit had backfired. He had actually blurted it out because he was being so tactless.

Upon hearing the words "my important daughter," Artoria immediately lost her composure. She instantly gripped Merlin's wrist with all her might, giving him no chance to escape.

Then she said, slowly and deliberately, "Tell me! What exactly happened? Don't hide anything, this is very important."

Merlin is truly trapped now, and he can't escape.

Even if he escapes today, unless he never appears in front of Artoria again, this matter will have to be told to Artoria sooner or later.

"Gareth is Davidian's daughter. She's his and Morgan's daughter. To be specific, do you remember your only formal encounter with Morgan?"

Merlin suddenly brought up that incident that happened more than a decade ago, which was indeed a very long time ago.

“I remember that time she brought me Gawain, Gahoris, and Agravivan. Could it be that in just those few days?”

Artoria was shocked, but she clearly remembered that the two of them hadn't had much contact during those days.

Merlin nodded: "At that time, David was still very young and inexperienced, and he was overly wary of Morgan."

While secretly monitoring Morgan, he was caught off guard by Morgan's exhaustion, and it was at that moment that Morgan accomplished what she truly wanted to do.

Although Gareth is widely believed to be King Loth's last child, she is actually Davidian's daughter.

Even with Artoria's superhuman willpower, she felt dizzy and disoriented. How could this be?

"Does Davidan know about this?" Artoria felt horrified at the thought of it; she knew just how sentimental Davidan was.

The fact that David Ann has never married since his brief relationship with Morgan is enough to show how much he values ​​relationships.

Artoria didn't even dare to imagine what he would do if he found out that Gareth was her daughter.

Merlin just smiled wryly and said, "If it were yesterday, he still wouldn't be sure. But now, he knows everything from the person involved."

"He went to Orkney?!" Artoria was utterly shocked.

She used to think that the distance Davidan traveled through the Dark Dimension wouldn't be too exaggerated, but now he's actually gone all the way from Camelot to Orkney in the North?

“He just went there. He went to Orkney immediately after burying Gareth. At the moment, I’m afraid only the four of us know about this.”

Merlin has revealed everything he knows. The matter is not complicated, in fact, it's quite simple. But this very simplicity may now lead to the most terrible consequences.

Artoria was speechless. How could this have happened? Why did it turn out this way?

Meanwhile, far away in the courtyard of Orkney Palace, Davidian stumbled and collapsed to the ground. His eyes had lost their luster, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.

Under such continuous blows, even an iron man would be brought down. This is not destruction from the outside, but a collapse from the inside out.

He gently covered his face and silently shed tears.

Lancelot had been taken away from the most precious thing he possessed, and now that he knew the truth, he wished he could give his own life for Gareth's.

Morgan had completed her best revenge on David, and at this moment, the bitterness and pain in David's heart made him look like an old man in his twilight years.
