Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

It turns out that the father never loved the mother; he merely used her womb to give birth to the heir to the kingdom.

It turns out that her father never intended for her to inherit the throne; she, his daughter, was nothing more than a burden.

Since ancient times, those who become kings of Britain have been blessed by the island and endowed with mysterious powers from a very young age.

The same is true for young girls.

Her power even surpasses that of Joseph.

So when Uther forced Iglesias to divorce her husband and marry her, the young girl naturally assumed that Uther's goal was to get her as his daughter and groom her to be the next King of Britain.

It turned out that it was all just the girl's wishful thinking.

Her father was even unwilling to acknowledge her as the "true queen," and tried to create a non-human queen!

The girl cried all night.

She didn't fully wake up until dawn.

The girl hugged the doll in her arms, which was soaked with tears.

It was a cloth dog doll, inspired by a fairy tale the girl had read in her childhood.

The anthropomorphic puppy who loves to cook transforms into a knight to protect others in times of crisis; it is her favorite character.

His name is "Shirou".

"You're so lucky... You don't have to worry about so many things. I wish I could be as carefree as you..."

The girl muttered to herself as she smoothed Shirou's hair with her fingers.

Even though I held this child and cried all night, he still kept making a face. Can't he just smile?

But for some reason, looking at Shirou's face, the girl suddenly felt a surge of power in her chest.

No, it's not without reason.

She gained courage from Shirou's stories when she was very young.

Whenever something sad or upsetting happens, Shirou is willing to put on a grumpy face and listen silently.

Shirou is her spiritual sustenance and also her source of strength.

The girl placed the neatly arranged doll next to her pillow, then slapped her cheeks hard to cheer herself up.

"Okay~~~ It's decided!"

Even if my father and teacher don't approve of me, I will never give up!

Even if I were to do it all by myself, I would become the King of Britain!

The girl stroked Shirou's head as she made her decision.

That afternoon, it was time for the daily magic lesson, but Merlin waited in vain for the girl.

At the same time, on a suburban path several thousand meters away from the palace, a dignified young woman stood in front of a foreign tribe attempting to plunder a village.

Soft golden hair and greenish-blue eyes.

A refined and delicate beauty and a petite and slender figure—

This girl, whose face still retains a touch of childishness, will soon become known to the kingdom's knights and people.

She is—

"My name is Ash! Ash, the Rain Witch!"

"We're launching this campaign to save Britain. Please take good care of us, and then die, you villains!"

……

……

after that.

Two years have passed since the girl used magic to change her hair and eye color and began operating in Britain under the name "Ash".

During these two years, she was no longer the sheltered princess who was ignorant of the world, but instead traveled around helping others.

Furthermore, her rescue efforts cover the entire territory of Britain—for which the girl specifically developed a time-space magic called "Water Mirror."

Sometimes they rescued soldiers who were on the verge of defeat after being attacked by barbarians;

If a village suffers from famine, they hunt magical beasts and use their flesh to alleviate their hunger;

When she encountered villages that soldiers couldn't reach in time to rescue, or that were attacked by barbarians or ferocious monsters, she would step forward and hold them to the end.

The girl disregarded national borders and rescued anyone she encountered who was in distress without hesitation, thus saving many civilians and soldiers from hunger and war.

She even subdued a pure white magical beast that was stealing crops in the village, and after battling it, it became her partner and she named it "Fou".

Anecdotes about her gradually spread among the lowest-ranking people and knights.

They belong to no one faction, but are simply righteous partners to save Britain and its people.

—The people of Britain began to call her "the Savior Ash".

Soon, the girl turned 17.

Despite Merlin's objections, Uther made a decision to marry the girl off to the distant Orkney.

At this point, King Uther was deeply obsessed; he was a man with similar problems to Vortigern, who had brought the alien races to the island.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to come up with the crazy proposal of using dragon factors to create heirs.

On the day she was told she was to become Princess Orkney, the girl responded—with the sword in her hand.

After two years of real combat experience, her fighting ability is now completely different from what it used to be.

Not only is he proficient in all kinds of magic, but he is also skilled in close combat.

In terms of martial arts, even the men of Britain were no match for her.

Not only that, she also possesses a unique skill that even the sage Merlin could not match—projection magic.

The thousand swords projected by the girl in an instant knocked down the guard knights beside Yuther.

Then she rushed to King Uther, held the magic sword to her father's neck, and forced him to swear a death oath.

First, they abandoned the plan to create the Red Dragon.

Second, he would pass the throne of Britain to himself.

Merlin was completely dumbfounded.

Before she could react, the girl turned to her teacher and presented him with two options.

Either assist oneself.

Or she would be locked away forever in the tower he had prepared for her.

Thus, the young girl single-handedly launched a coup and ascended the throne as the new Queen of Britain at the age of 17.

Thus began the era of "Queen Morgan".

……

……

Yuther and Merlin's conspiracy is exposed.

The news that Ash, the Savior, was actually the Queen spread throughout Britain.

Soon, the Queen gained a large number of supporters.

They already worshipped Ash as a savior, and now they felt even more sympathy for her tragic childhood.

The Queen gained overwhelming support shortly after ascending the throne.

Many knights came from all over Britain to support the Queen.

However, the knights who joined the Queen's ranks soon discovered a problem.

The Queen and the savior Ash are not similar.

Not only in appearance, but also in personality.

The savior is cheerful and brave, shining like a star in the night, while the queen feels cold and like a ruling machine.

Their only commonality is probably the white, neither-cat-nor-dog beast on their shoulders.

Is the Queen really a savior?

People began to have doubts.

They were unaware that Queen Morgan was the persona created by the young girl to more effectively rule Britain.

Shortly after her coronation, the Queen visited a small town in Tintagel.

Several years ago, Merlin, who was then a minister of Uther and is now the Queen's advisor, visited this place and made a prophecy.

"Whoever draws this sword will be the King of Britain."

The town was packed with people that day.

The knights and the crowd eagerly awaited the result.

They believed in the Queen—if she truly was Ash, the Savior, she would surely be able to pull out the chosen sword.

However, the queen did not draw her sword when she came to the stone.

She merely glanced indifferently at the sword embedded in the stone before drawing a demonic sword from thin air and severing it.

"My holy sword! Aaaaaah!!!" Merlin screamed as he knelt on the ground.

"Fufufufu!?!?" The white beast jumped happily on the queen's shoulder.

"What a boring trick... I'm busy, I'm going back."

After saying this, the Queen left without looking back.

After a brief silence of a few seconds, the crowd erupted in an unprecedented surge.

"His Majesty Morgan is the true King of Britain! His Majesty Morgan is the savior of Britain!"

In front of everyone, the Queen severed the chosen sword.

She was trying to show everyone through her actions that a mere piece of scrap metal was not enough to measure her status as a king.

People were captivated by the Queen's charisma and presence.

The knights celebrated, the people sang, and the bards spread the news throughout the island.

Everyone felt exhilarated during the selection ceremony, except for the flower magician who was heartbroken and on the verge of tears.

Because of the betrayal she suffered in her childhood, the queen can no longer trust anyone.

This is the Queen's path:

She doesn't depend on or trust anyone—not even the children she adopted.

Gawain, Agguvin, Gahoris, Gareth.

They were all war orphans taken in by the Queen from all over Britain.

Even when the Queen was extremely busy, she never forgot to personally oversee the education of her children.

She personally taught Gawain and his sister swordsmanship and horsemanship, and also taught Agguvin administrative skills.

Growing up under their mother's care, the siblings quickly grew into capable knights.

The Queen also restarted the project that had been abandoned at one point.

She created twins who possessed the Crimson Dragon Factor and adopted them as her daughters, giving them the names Artoria and Mordred.

Like their other brothers, the older sister Artoria and the younger sister Mordred also aspired to become great knights because they admired their mother.

In the tenth year of the Queen's reign, the conflict between her and King Vortigern finally reached an irreconcilable point.

The Queen ordered the army to besiege the fortress city of Rentinion, which had been captured by Vortigern.

After the battle began, Gawain led his knights to break through the city gates and rush into the city, where they were met by the lowly king, who had transformed into a black and white dragon.

The lowly king's breath scattered the army and swallowed the brilliance of the Sun Sword.

Just when everyone was about to be defeated—

A spacetime tremor occurred above Lentinion.
