"You in Britain will also feel a stronger country than ever before."
"..."
There was silence at first, and it was obvious that no one had fully accepted what Altria said.
And at this moment, Ian recalled his promise to the girl.
"No matter when or where you need my help, I will find a way to help you as soon as possible."
So--
Now is that time, right?
Driven by this idea, Ian hesitated for a moment, then temporarily let go of Altria's hand, and then clapped as if in congratulations.
This was a very obvious hint.
Ian's status in Camelot is very high. As Morgan's husband and the chief knight of the Round Table, it is probably no exaggeration to say that he is second only to Altria.
Since he applauded, in a sense he was publicly expressing his support for Artoria to obtain the throne as a woman.
Soon, some of Artoria's followers (or rather, those who tended to be on Ian's side within the Knights of the Round Table) began to applaud.
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The original atmosphere of suspicion gradually disappeared amid the applause of these knights.
Instead, there was a high degree of recognition for Altria.
The so-called female identity seems less important at this moment.
The girl's eyes fell on the man - she knew he was fulfilling his promise to her.
And she will repay his loyalty in the simplest way.
"Well... I think you saw it too."
Artoria took Ian's hand again.
"My most loyal subordinate, the Chief Knight of the Knights of the Round Table, has achieved such great feats in this campaign against Vortigern."
"A knight like this deserves my commendation."
"The kiss just now was a simple courtesy—it's the kind of recognition only a knight like him, who has made great military achievements, can receive."
"I hope you won't misunderstand me, and don't interpret me as someone else's."
"besides--"
Altria looked at Ian on the other side, with a deeper look in her eyes.
That's the look you get when you've been planning something for a long time.
"Now it's the final step."
"Ian... get down on one knee before me and pledge your allegiance."
628. Lily Wants Him to Swear Allegiance / Morgan's Revenge (4k)
This is a deeper requirement.
You realize that Altria's real purpose this time is to make you kneel down and swear allegiance in public.
[What she wants is far more than just kissing you in public.]
[But——]
[Let all Camelot people see your oath of allegiance.]
【And more importantly, you find that you have no way to refuse her. 】
[After all... at this point, if you choose to deny Altria's words, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to denying everything she mentioned before.]
[This is a dilemma - and also a "trap" set by Altria.]
【But you find that you can't blame Altria at all.】
[This extremely obvious conspiracy cannot be measured by scheming in any way.]
Even now, you still think so.
"..."
Looking at Altria with her hair loose, Ian's eyes gradually became hesitant.
It's not that he has never done such a thing as swearing allegiance, but he did it a long time ago.
That was the moment when Morgan learned that he had no right to inherit the throne, a night when he almost gave up on himself.
It can be said to be despicable, but it can also be said to be an opportunity.
On that drunken night, Morgan somehow obtained Ian's oath of loyalty at the cost of his own body.
And now-
Everything seems quite similar to that time, but everything seems completely different from before.
Ian looked at the hand extended by Altria and fell into unprecedented hesitation.
But as if she had anticipated all of Ian's options, Altria quickly continued:
"Ian... If you don't respond to me now, the land that my sister cherishes may be on the verge of extinction."
"Even so—"
"Would you like to do that?"
"..."
[I have to say, Altria knows how to control you.]
[Just a few simple words like these make you realize how much of a storm you are in at this moment.]
You no longer hesitate.
You no longer hesitate.
【You decide to respond to Altria's invitation.】
[Just consider it for Morgan's wish and for the land she loves so much.]
I will definitely become a sinner——
I'm sure I'll be considered half-hearted.
In Ian's mind, countless charges flashed through his mind in an instant.
only……
None of this is so important at this moment.
Respond to her.
Just think of it as a response to Morgan's concern for Britain.
With this thought in mind, Ian held Altria's hand, and then slowly lowered his body, finally kneeling on one knee, as if getting married.
"I pledge my loyalty to you, my king."
"May Britain enjoy long-lasting peace and stability under your leadership, and may the people of Britain live and work in peace and contentment under your protection."
"..."
This is a very simple statement.
[No one present had any doubts or suspicions about this.]
【But there is one person who is an absolute exception. 】
【That is Morgan.】
[At this moment, your pledge of allegiance became the sharpest blade piercing her heart—this point cannot be erased no matter what.]
"..."
"How could this be possible... How could this be possible..."
Hearing Ian's words and the way he knelt on one knee as if proposing and swearing allegiance, Morgan in the crowd widened his eyes, as if he had seen something incomprehensible.
At the moment when King Arthur revealed his gender, she, as a princess, was like a dimmed star. In this sea of hundreds of people, she lost the pride and attention she should have had.
But none of that matters.
Why would he say that?
What is Ian doing?
Didn't he say that night that he would only swear allegiance to me in this life? How did he suddenly turn around and end up in such a relationship with Altria?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Morgan shook his head, denying all the facts before his eyes like a terminally ill patient.
It won't be like this.
Absolutely not.
He is a man who is willing to sacrifice his life for me, how could he do such a thing at this moment?
correct.
magic.
Is it magic?
Because he was under some special magic, he regarded Artoria as the person to whom he could swear allegiance, and thus behaved in such a disloyal manner.
Speaking of which...
This seems to be the case.
Didn't the magic trick I had set up earlier also fail to start due to some unknown reason?
Yes.
It must be so.
How could Artoria be qualified to kidnap her own knight?
"Wait till I crack it!"
Morgan gave himself this order in his mind, and then left the scene with self-deceiving thoughts.
Her movements were so swift and her back looked so lonely that it was impossible to understand her thoughts for a while.
But no one seems to care about all this.
after all……
Ian was the only one who worried about whether she could become king.
It was like this before and it will be like this in the future.
It seems that there is only one person who loves her from beginning to end.
[You don't know how Morgan feels at this moment.]
【You only know that you made an important and relatively correct choice. 】
[Following your pledge of allegiance, the scene quickly experienced an overwhelming response.]
Ian is quite popular in Camelot.
After all, no one has much way to refuse such a Knight of the Round Table who is so skilled in swordsmanship and at the same time so considerate, gentle and patient.
Not to mention his appearance, which is one of the best in the city.
Such a moment naturally caused a wave of countless words.
Well...it might be a little complicated though.
"Everyone, did you see that?! I told you that Wang and Ian's relationship was definitely different! Now I'm finally right!"
"Yeah... If it was the Queen and the knight, it would be much easier to understand - the previous situation was too bad no matter how you think about it!"
"But I think if the king is a man... it wouldn't be a problem... Hey, hey, don't come over here! I was just saying it casually!"
