The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Ian couldn't respond to Altria's words.

If we measure it from the initial starting point——

He was nothing more than a lowly and despicable knight who was always eyeing the princess' body.

Swearing allegiance and drinking poisoned wine were nothing more than letting desire temporarily control the body.

But after going through so many things, Ian knew that his feelings for Morgan were no longer just about pleasure.

He had witnessed all the sufferings that fate had inflicted on her and knew the reluctance in her heart.

So--

Let me become her ever-loyal knight in this world.

She is the princess of Britain. How could she be ignored and lose her pride?

Although there was no response, Altria was still very happy.

The girl reached out and hugged her sweetheart.

"Mr. Ian."

"Although you may think I'm a little greedy, but——"

"Will you let me have you all to myself right now?"

"..."

Ian's heart was once again touched by her straightforwardness.

But he still said nothing, just lowered his head and kissed Altria.

The girl's lips were still so soft, as if they were the most perfect sugar in Britain.

Just take a bite of it and you can feel the sweetness like candy cane.

The girl would cry because of this, but she was reluctant to let go, and finally became a well-behaved prey.

[You played with Altria's feelings in a despicable way, making her shy in front of you as a king.]

[You looked at her shy expression and cursed yourself as a bastard in your heart. ]

【But at the same time, you also know that you must not waver. 】

【You have things you must accomplish.】

[The lake surface is sparkling, and a mysterious light fills the sky above it. ]

【A mysterious voice was heard. 】

"King, you are here."

The ethereal and clear voice echoed in the forest.

Only then did Altria stop.

She turned around and looked into the lake.

In an instant, those eyes lit up with the dignity that a king should have.

"The time has come."

"As agreed, I'm here to retrieve the weapon," she said.

"I will offer my sword to the king."

The sound in the lake is gentle and loud.

Amid the gently floating ripples, a ray of light burst out from the lake and rushed towards the sky, as if it could knock down the stars.

When the light condensed and formed a solid, a sword blade appeared on the lake.

It was a sword with a blade made of gold, and the hilt was inlaid with gorgeous but practical gems.

The sharp sword was put into a scabbard engraved with complex patterns.

"This is the sword we will present to the king."

"Its name is Excalibur."

"As long as the king holds this sword, he will be invincible in front of his enemies and bring more victories back to Camelot."

"And its scabbard, Avalon, will also protect the king during this process and keep him out of trouble."

"It is indeed a powerful blade."

"Lake elves, I pay you my highest respects."

As Altria said this, she extended her hand toward the Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur) with the utmost respect.

Held it——

The moment they made contact, the light from the blade slowly flowed towards the girl.

[Gift of the Red Dragon + Activated: You can feel that Altria has been endowed with some more powerful magic. ]

[You realize that the lake spirit holds great power.]

The sound from the lake rang out again.

"King, we have no objection to you holding the Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur)."

"But it's still part of the lake, so hopefully you can return it to the lake when the dust settles."

"As it should be."

Altria responded while holding the sword in the lake.

This was an extremely simple contract exchange ceremony.

It seemed like everything should end here.

Until Altria suddenly spoke again.

"Spirit of the Lake, if my dream is flawless, it seems that there is another blade in your place that has not been taken away?"

"Wang, you are right."

The voice in the lake quickly responded to Altria's question.

"There is indeed one blade that was not taken away when it should have been taken away - it is the blade that is the counterpart of Excalibur."

"Its name is Excalibur Gallatin."

"In that case—"

There was a certain determination in Altria's green eyes.

"Can I take it with me?"

"..."

The sounds in the lake fell silent for a moment.

"King, even you shouldn't hold two swords in the lake."

"What if it's not me who takes it out, but someone else who has enough ability?"

"That may be possible."

The voice in the lake responded neither arrogantly nor humbly.

"But the outcome is not chosen by us, but by Excalibur Gallatin itself."

Altria didn't say anything else, but looked at Ian beside her.

Her meaning was obvious - she hoped that he could take out the Excalibur Gallatin.

Ian didn't hesitate.

He came to the lake like Altria did.

The lake once again burst into light.

The only difference from the cold light that penetrated the sky before was that the red light this time was much hotter.

Comparing the two, it's like the difference between the sun and the moon.

[You know that the Excalibur Gallatin in front of you may have the same power as the Excalibur. ]

[According to common sense, a weapon like this is not so easy to lift. ]

【But at the same time you also discovered one thing. 】

[That is, you feel a certain affinity between yourself and Excalibur Gallatin.]

[You see yourself taking it out, as if you were looking into the future.]

that's the truth.

The moment he touched the Excalibur Gallatin, Ian found that he was not burned by the seemingly scorching light.

Instead, I feel like I've been blessed.

He understood everything.

[Talent Rotating Victory Sword++ Obtained: Due to Morgan's influence on you, you and the sword in your hand are blessed by the sun, and you can use it easily.]

This was the blade that was supposed to have been taken by the lake-born princess Morgan.

But she was so grief-stricken on the day of her exile that she failed to remove the blade from the lake in time.

Ian, who lived with her day and night and was recognized by the lake, was recognized by Excalibur Gallatin.

Is this a coincidence?

Or is it destiny?

Ian looked at the blazing sword in his hand and actually felt a sense of destiny.

But Altria on the side was unaware of all this.

She only knew that the man in front of her did as she had expected and took the other sword out of the lake.

"Mr. Ian, I knew you could do it!"

"There really is some kind of bond between us!"

The girl seemed to have mistaken all this as evidence of their relationship.

Ian hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not correct this wrong perception.

but--

It seems that we need to confirm all of this in some way.

that--

As long as we don't go in there, it's fine, right?

76. The girl is admiring flowers with her lover (-word chapter)

The sun gradually sets over the hilltops.

The dim sunlight spread throughout the entire forest, dyeing everything it touched with a light yellow veil.

Somewhere on the ground in the woods.

The Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur) and the Sword of Rotating Victory (Excalibur Gallatin) are stuck in the ground side by side.

They cast long slanted shadows on the ground, and at first glance they look no different.

Altria was sitting under a tree, hugging her slightly curled legs, her head resting on her knees, looking forward.

Her eyes were filled with joy.

On the one hand, it was because he did get the Sword of Promised Victory from the Fairy in the Lake.

on the other hand--

Altria looked at the Rotating Sword of Victory next to the Sword of Promised Victory.

I didn't expect that I could have such a connection with Ian.

It's incredible luck.
