"Before we gather enough troops to fight Artoria, we should discredit her identity to a certain extent."

"Princess, by publicly announcing your choice to be a woman, doesn't this actually go against the late king's original intention?"

Ian didn't actually want to give this kind of advice.

After all, to a certain extent, when he said this, he was actually breaking his promise to Artoria.

But if you don't do this...

For Morgan in front of him, this is another kind of harm.

Ian felt an unprecedented blockage in his heart, a feeling he had never had before.

He realized that his thoughts were gradually leaning towards where Artoria was.

"Defaming her identity?"

Morgan pondered over Ian's words.

Soon, he nodded, as if confirming the knight's statement.

"I didn't expect you to have such a vicious side."

"Knight, perhaps I misunderstood you before."

"It doesn't matter." Ian smiled slightly, looking calm and composed.

"I'm not afraid that the princess will question me for any reason—because I know that the princess will definitely give me a chance to prove my innocence."

"If that's the case, I'm absolutely confident I can make Her Majesty understand my loyalty."

"is it?"

Morgan's hand slid down from Ian's neck, finally reaching the man's incredibly strong waist.

In this joyful game she is always the active one.

"Then let me feel your loyalty in other places too—"

"My knight, please don't let me down on this matter."

"...Well, definitely not."

You made Morgan's evening a delight.

She's very pleased with what you're doing late at night—and gets a lot of pleasure out of it.

[But you know this won't change Morgan's next plan.]

She will continue to recruit troops according to her original plan, and based on this, she will privately slander Altria to a certain extent.

[But it's definitely better than the previous situation.]

[You have reluctantly accepted this situation.]

[And besides that, you actually have something else to do - that is to deal with Guinevere's request to see King Arthur.]

[This is also a major event that determines the direction of Camelot.]

You know you have to deal with it.

The next day.

As agreed, Ian and Guinevere met again.

The only difference from the previous situation which was a bit solemn and awkward was that at this moment Guinevere had changed into a more plain outfit.

The place where the dagger was originally hidden also became empty.

This made her seem a lot more approachable and pleasant—at least much more approachable than she had seemed at first glance.

"Nice to meet you again." Ian took the initiative to speak.

"You're pretty punctual."

"Well," Guinevere nodded, "After all, we are really going to see King Arthur this time, so naturally we should come as early as possible."

"..."

"Sorry, we didn't mean to stop you from seeing Altria." Ian said, looking at Guinevere in front of him, "After all, you also know..."

"I understand."

Guinevere was quite generous.

"If you hadn't been so cautious, Artoria would have been killed by my sword right now, right?"

"From this point of view, I have to thank you - if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be worthy of knowing the truest version of her."

"Thank you so much."

Knowing that this was Guinevere giving both parties a way out, Ian didn't dwell on the topic for too long.

"Well, the same blessing goes for you, Guinevere."

【You and Guinevere have reached a consensus.】

[You all start walking towards where Altria is.]

【Along the way, you heard some rumors.】

【That was a discussion about what you and Guinevere did yesterday.】

[After all, neither you nor Guinevere are fit to ride on the same horse.]

【But you don’t mind.】

[Because you all know that riding on the same white horse is just a choice made to ensure the interests of both parties.]

【It seems that Guinevere has more problems. 】

"Speaking of -"

Guinevere asked Ian who was walking in the palace corridor.

"Since your wife is Morgan...why would you..."

"Because it's a knight's duty," Ian replied quickly. "Before the king chose to reveal his identity, he would always have problems that he needed the help of those around him to solve."

"Will the other knights help do this?"

Guinevere frowned.

Obviously, she didn't like this ridiculous and somewhat disastrous thing.

"No." Ian cut off Guinevere's thoughts without hesitation.

"This may make you uncomfortable, but Altria would only ask me to solve this kind of thing."

"The other knights didn't even know she was a girl until she revealed her identity."

"..."

Guinevere's pupils first dilated slightly, and then gradually returned to their original appearance.

When everything was back to normal, her eyes were full of understanding for Ian.

"So... Ian, you're also a victim."

"Now, we are really on the same boat."

"……sacrifice."

Ian smiled calmly as he whispered the word.

"Perhaps that is true."

【You and Guinevere arrived at where Altria was.】

【That's also where the round table is located.】

[At this moment, she was sitting alone on the lonely throne, with a slightly lonely look in her eyes.]

Only at the moment she saw you approach did the girl's flawless green eyes reveal some of the emotions that should be present at her age.

"Ian."

Altria stood up from the throne and walked quickly towards where the man was.

Her anxious movements seemed as if she was worried that if she was a little late, she would lose the chance to meet Ian.

It was only after Altria came in front of Ian that she noticed Guinevere following the man.

"Who is this……"

Artoria has always been relatively wary of women who suddenly appear next to Ian, especially women of unknown origin.

"Altria, she is..."

[Now that things have come to this, you know there's no point in continuing to hide it.]

You told her the whole story of Guinevere's origin and why she appeared in front of Altria so late.

[To be fair, you didn't think Altria would accept this so easily.]

【after all--】

[In a sense, Guinevere's appearance is actually a kind of "blasphemy" to Altria.]

[It implies that the title of King Arthur is occasionally restricted to other Camelot nobles.]

[But the amazing thing is that Altria did not show any disgust or aversion towards Guinevere.]

[On the contrary, her attitude towards Guinevere was unexpectedly "warm."]

"Wait a moment—"

Altria said this, and then took Guinevere aside.

"Guinevere, if I understand correctly, you were sent by the previous king to form a marriage alliance with me, right?"

"Yes, King Arthur." Guinevere said respectfully after learning the truth.

"But now it seems that there is no need for this. I will go back and explain to my father that this engagement must be cancelled."

"Although...it might be a little awkward."

"..."

"No." Altria shook her head, "It doesn't need to be lifted."

"Ok?"

Guinevere was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that she had heard correctly, she continued.

"King Arthur, what do you mean..."

"I need someone to help me cover up something."

"Do not."

Altria took Guinevere's hand.

"To put it more directly—"

"Can you come help me and Ian?"

"..."

Guinevere was shocked once again.

Altria, who was supposed to break off the engagement with him, actually said such words at this moment.

"Continue that so-called engagement?" Guinevere couldn't believe what she heard, just like she had never imagined that King Arthur would be a lovely girl.

"That's not possible. We are all..."

Guinevere didn't continue, but her meaning was quite obvious.

Whether it was himself or Altria, they were exactly the same in terms of gender.

If we get married like this...wouldn't that be a step further than already violating the rules?

Guinevere knew about this kind of thing, and of course Altria was also very clear about it.
