Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

"What made you think that we're making you king, and that you have the right to refuse?"

"So let's go and take Camelot's throne."

"Of course you don't have to go, but unfortunately, you can't refuse."

Roland and Medea, dressed as the Valkyrie, flew very fast.

However, the wind pressure generated by the high-speed flight did not affect Roland's voice, allowing Morgan to hear him clearly.

On the contrary, Morgan's refusal after hearing Roland's words was quickly crushed by the wind pressure, and no one really heard it, nor did anyone know what Morgan actually said at that moment.

241. The Opening of the Royal Selection Ceremony

"What exactly is Roland thinking this time?"

On Camelot's side, Artoria, Mordred, Meli, and Semiramis were divided into two groups due to their different roles and acted separately.

Mordred and Artoria both operate in Camelot as knights, so they are a pair.

"Morgan...can she really be queen?"

After hesitating for a long time, Mordred finally called out her mother's name.

"If Roland says Sister Wang can do it, then Sister Wang definitely can."

Hearing Mordred say this, Artoria glanced at her, her brows furrowing slightly, seemingly displeased that Mordred had questioned Roland. Seeing her father's expression, Mordred smiled and shrank back.

She had been a member of the Gods' Group for a while and was familiar with Roland's various deeds.

So she wasn't questioning Roland, she was just curious about Roland's purpose in doing so.

Artoria had figured out Mordred's thoughts by now, so she spoke up again.

"If you're curious, you'll find out when Roland brings Sister Wang back. As for the specifics, all I can say is that if Roland wanted us to know, he would have told us in detail beforehand. The fact that he hasn't said anything means we don't need to know yet."

Mordred thought for a moment and nodded.

"Too."

...

"Roland intends to help Artoria resolve her inner conflict, and in the process, he also intends to offer some guidance to Mordred."

Unlike Artoria and Mordred, who were completely clueless about the situation, Semiramis, despite knowing nothing about the background, was able to somewhat guess Roland's plans based on his arrangements.

"indeed so."

It wasn't surprising that Meryl could guess this.

After all, it wasn't difficult for her to see that Artoria and Mordred had a grudge.

After arriving in Britain, Roland didn't deliberately hide anything from them, and even revealed that he had arranged for Morgan to become the King of Camelot—so it was quite clear what Roland wanted to do.

After all, Roland had essentially used the same method when mediating the relationship between Artoria and Mordred, and now it was just a different form, but the essence remained the same.

Even so, Mei still didn't realize it at first.

But if she still doesn't understand after Roland has already said it, then she doesn't deserve to be the Grand Tutor of Britain.

"So what we need to do here is still quite important. Roland didn't reveal the specific arrangements because he knew that if he only mentioned Morgan as king, the two of us would understand his meaning. Artoria and Mordred wouldn't think in that direction, so they wouldn't understand. This way, it wouldn't affect the matter of resolving their inner conflicts, and it would also allow the two of us to stay in Camelot and secretly arrange all sorts of things."

There was a hint of helplessness on Meryl's face when she said these words.

"Roland probably even thought that we would be divided into groups based on the different identities we acquired when we entered Camelot—after all, being a worker is tough. Artoria and Mordred are more like tourists visiting old haunts, while the two of us were assigned some troublesome tasks as soon as we arrived."

"Roland even brought Medea with him—it seems he really doesn't intend to deal with these problems this time, leaving them all to the two of us!"

What Merry really wanted to be was an audience member.

It's the kind of situation where the world is in chaos outside, and she just lies at home, has some wine and fruit, and then laughs as she pats her belly and watches the world descend into chaos.

At most, she'll meet with the main characters she's interested in.

Just like readers of novels have the ability to travel into the book at any time, they sometimes want to greet their favorite characters or secretly support them.

But now she's no longer the one secretly observing for amusement!

She has to deal with those troublesome things!

You even have to drive the story forward yourself!

This was not what she wanted at all, but since she had already been sold to Roland by Alaya, she had no choice but to do the work that Roland had arranged for her, no matter how much she complained.

Semiramis, on the other hand, remained quite indifferent to this.

"Isn't this the most common kind of relationship? Being able to be used and schemed against only proves that you have value. Compared to being a useless piece of trash, even being used is a better relationship for me."

Semiramis's tone was indifferent, and her expression remained unchanged, forming a stark contrast to Mary's helpless look and constant complaints.

But in reality, she wasn't as calm inside as she appeared on the surface.

The only difference is that she and Mary care about different things.

There was only one thing she cared about.

Since Roland considered her one of his tools, was there ever a moment when his gaze truly fell upon her?

She was thinking this quietly, while Mary was constantly complaining.

And so this somewhat strange, yet unexpectedly complementary pair arrived at their first destination.

This is the residence arranged for the nobles of Camelot who were summoned because of the royal selection ceremony.

Roland will bring Morgan back.

And the two of them will also have to start cooperating with Roland's plan.

……

Merlin had gathered the nobles and knights belonging to Camelot a few days ago.

Now that the nobles and knights have all arrived, Merlin has also come along as a knight's squire, having been fostered by the knight Hector. Therefore, Merlin has gathered everyone today to officially begin this royal selection ceremony.

He erected a platform around the sword in the stone, then had the nobles and knights gather below. Afterward, he stood next to the sword in the stone and spoke with a smile.

"He who draws this sword will be the chosen king."

"This sword is the sword chosen by the nymphs of the lake. The sword itself possesses unparalleled sharpness and can further select the king's character."

"All of you here are nobles and knights of Camelot—the king will be born from among you."

Merlin put it very simply.

But no one refuted him.

This wasn't because they believed in some legend of a chosen king; the most important part of Merlin's words to them was that they had to choose the King of Camelot from among themselves!

Among these nobles and knights, there were indeed those who had no intention of becoming king.

But most of them are guys who have some ambition for this position.

During the reign of King Uther, Camelot was more of a vast alliance than a single nation.

Now that King Uther is no longer the leader of the alliance, and his own home is in a mess, these people are starting to have some ideas!

However, Camelot is nominally a country, so if he wants to become king, he needs a reason and opportunity that can convince the people and everyone.

Merlin's introduction of the Sword in the Stone at this time drew the attention of those who wanted to become king but didn't want Camelot to fall into chaos and benefit foreign enemies.

They had met Merlin before the king was chosen.

Although they did not personally draw the sword at that time, they did test the sword in the stone using various methods.

As for Merlin being able to interfere with the choice of the Sword in the Stone?

They don't believe it!

Merlin is just a lucky conman!

He might have deceived the Lake Fairies and, by sheer luck, survived, thus obtaining the sword in the stone.

And he even interferes… Does Merlin deserve it?

Under such circumstances—

They all agreed that the sword in the stone was indeed a sword with special abilities.

They all agreed that the person who drew the sword possessed the qualities of a king.

They unanimously acknowledged that whoever drew the sword was king.

and so…

Beneath Merlin's smiling expression.

"The royal selection ceremony officially begins!"

…make….

242. Guinevere

Merlin, who had previously announced the start of the royal selection, stood on the stage as if he were the protagonist of the world, as if everything in the world revolved around his actions.
