The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

The voices were mixed and chaotic, and there were even some strange speeches.

But without exception, not many people criticized Altria's gender.

of course.

Ian knew that this certainly didn't mean that no one in Camelot had any objections to Altria's gender.

But at least for now, everyone can still accept the Queen's definition.

"Great..." Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, this kind of compromised ending is actually quite happy.

but--

It was at this moment that Ian felt a different gaze.

He looked up, and then he just stood there in a daze.

because--

It was a scene he would never forget in his life.

Artoria... is crying?

This is a moment you will never forget.

[The usually majestic King of Britain now looked completely different.]

She looked as if she was about to cry—clear tears swirled back and forth in Altria's green eyes, as if they would turn into a river and flow to the ground beneath her feet in the next moment.

[You panic.]

[Because you have never seen Altria like this before.]

[Even when he violated her in the most humiliating way, you had never seen it.]

Your mentality undergoes a drastic change at that moment.

"..."

Ian was really panicking.

He looked at Altria who was looking at him with tears in her eyes, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

He didn't know why she was crying.

But I want to know why she is crying.

This feeling is exactly the same as when I saw Morgan through the crack of the door.

But this moment is no longer the same as that moment.

All of this cannot be easily replicated.

"Altria, I..."

"You want to ask me why I'm crying?" Before the man could ask the question in his mind, Artoria spoke first.

"Is that so?"

"..."

Having said that, Ian knew that there was no point in continuing to deny it.

Because this is extremely unrealistic.

Now... I am kneeling on one knee.

"Yeah." Ian nodded at Altrilla, as if acknowledging that everything she had just said was correct.

"I... really want to know why you are crying."

"Could it be——"

"Isn't today a day worth celebrating for you?"

"..."

Altria wiped her eyes calmly, pretending to be so normal in this bustling environment.

"Ian."

"Tears aren't always a bad thing—just like when I fell on the bed with you, were those tears considered sadness?"

"..."

The example of Altria is very accurate, but it is also inappropriate to mention it at this time.

But no matter what, at least for now, Ian probably understood what she meant.

I'm not crying out of sadness.

It's because of the happiness that makes me cry with joy.

"Is that so...?"

Ian spoke with relief, but his voice was filled with deeper doubts.

And Artoria seemed to have seen through all of this, and quickly continued:

"Ian."

"Don't you want to know why I'm crying out of joy?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a while, then quickly shook his head:

"Do not."

"If you don't want me to ask, then I won't ask. That way, a lot of problems can be avoided, right?"

"What if I just want to ask you?" The girl said this while looking at the knight kneeling in front of her.

"Then I'll ask."

Ian quickly replied.

"..."

"..."

After such a simple exchange, both of them understood what each other meant.

Altria also continued quickly:

"Because..."

"This is the first time I've seen you kneel down on one knee in front of me like this, Ian. Before, only your sister could let you do this, right?"

"Now... I can see it too."

"And it doesn't have to be carried out by the king's order."

"This……"

After Altria said this, Ian realized something.

In terms of status, as a king, Altria is actually fully qualified to make Ian kneel before her in such a humbly manner.

This is the privilege of being a king, and it has always been the custom in Britain - every king has absolute control over the knights he leads.

but……

This has never happened to Artoria.

She had never asked Ian to do anything in the name of the king that he was unwilling to do - it was like that before and it is like that now.

"Altria, what you want to see is just such a simple thing?"

"It's not something that's easy."

Altria helped the knight in front of her up little by little, and then looked at him with her slightly moist green eyes.

"At least for me—"

"Being able to do something like this is already a dream."

"..."

Ian was speechless at what Altria said - because he knew that everything she said was true.

The relationship between the two is so awkward that every time they come into contact, it triggers a slightly awkward and strange reaction.

"..."

"I'm sorry, Altria."

"Don't say sorry to me." Altria's fingers gently wrote something on the back of Ian's hand.

"You never owed me anything—I brought this upon myself, and I accept it."

"..."

[After hearing this, you fell into a certain silence.]

[Altria almost openly displays her emotions in front of you.]

[Her requirements for your response are actually very low - just some simple replies are enough to make her happy.]

【At this point, you no longer know how to make a choice. 】

[Altria's gender revelation disappeared in such a calm manner.]

[Next, there will be a celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of killing Futigen.]

You thought back to Morgan.

【You want to find her existence. 】

【But fate played a little joke on you, and you can’t do that. 】

It was a meeting you hadn't expected at all.

"I said--"

"Can we chat for a moment?"

Kai, holding a wine glass and shaking it gently, said this to Ian in front of him.

"I...have something I want to ask you."

629. Test from Kai's brother-in-law/Storm after revealing identity (4k)

【This is an invitation you never expected. 】

[At the banquet celebrating the killing of Vortigern, Kai found you directly.]

[Normally, this is someone who is less likely to seek you out than the other Knights of the Round Table.]

You realize that something is not right.

[Kai...I must have something to say to you.]

"Don't you want to have a drink with me?" Kai said, shaking the glass full of wine in his hand.

"I have something I want to tell you that you've never known before."

Artoria did not live in Camelot since she was a child, but was fostered by King Uther in a village far away from Camelot.

It was at this time that Kai became Altria's sworn brother.

Of course he is called a sworn brother, but in reality he is no different from a biological brother.

After all, when Altria was a child, she came into contact with very few people, and Kai was the best among them.

It is not impossible that he really knows some secrets from Artoria that even she herself does not understand.

"..."

"I see." Ian picked up another empty wine glass.

He actually didn't plan to drink at this party, but in order to find out the secrets that Kai said, the man had to temporarily break this idea.

"Let's have a nice drink for a while."
