"Use our kingdom as a bargaining chip. The loser will lose everything."

Despite her petite body, Altria spoke words with the majesty of a king.

【King Arthur won a great victory.】

[But as a tolerant victor, she did not execute King Pellinore who swung his sword at her, but simply made him surrender. ]

"If your children are pursuing something, then as a parent you should support them."

"Your lands may be yours, but your soul may be free."

Altria pointed her blade at the loser.

She declared her victory.

[The matter was resolved seemingly perfectly. All of King Pellinore's territory belonged to Camelot, and Percival became a member of the Knights of the Round Table.]

[But this nearly flawless treatment was not recognized by The Sword in the Stone. ]

[On a night when I kissed you deeply, it broke into two pieces. ]

[Although the moment it was pulled out, all the missions of the Sword in the Stone had been completed - which meant that it was just an ordinary sword. ]

【But this is not a good thing for the knights who are on the march. 】

[It is difficult for a king with a broken sword to stabilize the morale of his army. ]

[But Altria is still the destined King of Britain. ]

[On the night the sword was broken, she dreamed of a voice coming from the lake.]

[“Dear king, you don’t need to worry about your broken sword. It is your farewell to the past.”]

[“In that clear lake, you will find a weapon more worthy of a king’s dignity.”]

[Altria realized that this was help from the Fairy of the Lake.]

【She wants you to go with her. 】

[You readily agree.]

[But what you don’t know is that this long journey will also take back the foreshadowing of your destiny. ]

75. The Twin Swords in the Lake That Entangled Various Fates (-word chapter)

On the way to the lake of dreams.

Ian, who was supposed to hold the reins for Altria's horse, was already sitting on Donstarion.

The blushing girl snuggled in his arms, looking happy and shy.

"Mr. Ian...I am sorry to trouble you again because of my willfulness."

"Nothing."

Ian held the reins in one hand and held Altria's hand with the other.

"No matter what my identity is, I should go with you to find that weapon."

"Really? That would be great."

The girl felt the warmth from the man's hand, and her heart couldn't help but feel more excited.

"That--"

"Mr. Ian, do you think..."

"Would you not feel that?"

"It's just..." Altria was a little shy.

"Mr. Ian, do you feel like we are on a honeymoon trip right now?"

"..."

Ian did not answer Altria's question, but just gave a hypocritical smile.

But as always, the girl treated it as an illusion.

"It's great to be able to travel like this with Mr. Ian."

Altria closed her eyes and enjoyed the long-lost beauty.

Her mind was already full of fantasy scenes.

[You know what Altria is thinking. ]

[But you don’t have the heart to interrupt her imagination—even though it is unlikely to become a reality.]

[You try to walk as smoothly as possible so as not to disturb her beautiful dream.]

[But you never expected that, following the instructions given by Altria, you would actually see a place that looked familiar.]

Dongstalion stopped on a cliff.

Ian looked at the lush green scenery below the cliff and was filled with confusion.

This seemed to be a place I had been to before - just taking a different route to get here.

If we use Camelot as an analogy, it’s probably just the difference between the East Gate and the West Gate.

"Mr. Ian, what's wrong?"

Feeling something unusual, Altria slowly opened her eyes.

She tilted her head back and looked at the man behind her.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No." Ian shook his head. "Nothing."

"It's just that the wind is very noisy today."

"I'm sorry, Altria, for disturbing your dream."

"Nothing."

Altria moved closer to Ian and felt his warm body temperature.

"As long as Mr. Ian is by my side, I can always have sweet dreams."

[You have chosen the smoothest mountain road.]

[You have arrived at the forest under the cliff safely.]

[That familiar feeling makes you more and more certain that you have been here before. ]

You realize that something is about to happen that will change your life.

"Mr. Ian."

Altria looked at the road in the woods, and there was a hint of thought in her eyes that were as green as the sea of ​​trees.

"It seems that the front is not suitable for horses to move forward."

"okay, I get it."

The horses stopped.

Ian and Altria dismounted one after another.

After leaving Dongstalion in a patch of grass, the two walked deeper into the forest.

have to say.

This is indeed a forest as beautiful as a rough jade.

At first glance, all you see is lush greenery and deep shadows of trees.

"Mr. Ian, this place is really nice."

Altria took a deep breath and looked back at the man walking behind her with a smile.

"It's just like the legendary forest blessed by elves!"

"..."

A forest blessed by elves?

[Altria's words awakened you. ]

【You can now be sure that you have definitely been here before. 】

[But the people at that time were——]

That's right.

It's Morgan.

After being ordered by King Uther to return from the front line, Morgan at that time confessed to me that he did not want to return to the capital.

This was certainly a request that could not be refused.

Finally, the two came to a forest.

That was the first time Morgan opened up to him, and it was also the first time they experienced psychological pleasure.

If I remember correctly -

Ian stared at the road in front of him.

At its end, there will be a lake as clear as a gem.

However, before he could decide whether to verify this matter, Altria beside him had already pulled his hand.

"Mr. Ian, there is still a long way to go."

"Let's go faster!"

"okay."

[Your perception is indeed correct. ]

[At the end of the forest path, what awaits you and Altria is indeed a clear lake.]

[It is like a bright gem, inlaid in the center of the woods. The wind blows through the woods, causing ripples when it disturbs its surface.]

【You realize that this is the lake you and Morgan visited before.】

"Mr. Ian."

Altria looked at the clear lake in front of her, her emerald eyes revealing some emotion.

“This is the place I saw in my dream.”

"I see."

Ian walked up to her.

Looking at the crystal clear lake, memories of the past flooded into his mind.

That was the first time Morgan cried in front of him.

All the resentment and loneliness collapsed at that moment.

It was no longer the princess he saw.

He is an abandoned person imprisoned in darkness and a magician abandoned by fate.

“No one has ever given me a chance…”

The harder you struggle, the further away you are from the other side you want to reach.

That tearful confession was deeply engraved in Ian's soul.

He couldn't stand it.

"It's okay, I'll always be here."

Ian said it subconsciously, and then he realized that the person standing next to him was not Morgan, but Altria.

Hearing this, the girl's eyes widened a little, but soon she smiled happily.

"Mr. Ian, that would be great."
