Arthur really wanted to give himself a few slaps. He had said that he would help his sister escape from the fire pit of the so-called king, but he didn't expect things to end up like this.
"Leah!" Arthur said loudly. He stood up abruptly and held both of Altoria's arms.
"What is it, brother?" Artolia looked straight at Arthur without any emotion.
" I..." Arthur's lips parted slightly, but he finally let go of his hands and smiled bitterly." You've changed."”
" No." Altolia shook her head and said softly," I'm already mentally prepared to become the king's..."
"Shut up!" Arthur shouted and looked at Artolia, his sister, in confusion." This is not something that should be forced on a girl your age!"”
"Arthur Pendragon!" This time, Artolia didn't call Arthur her brother. Instead, she called him by his full name, which was a family name that they hadn't used for many years.
Arthur was stunned and looked at Artolia in confusion.
final
Both of them chose silence.
After a long time, someone spoke first.
"The bishop listened to Grandpa Merlin's suggestion to gather all the noble knights and use a 'Sword in the Stone' that was inserted in the stone of the church cemetery to choose a new king. The one who draws the sword from the stone shall be the King of England.”
......
"Hey, my dear Arthur." Arthur walked out of the door, planning to be alone for a while, but he was interrupted by a sudden male voice.
The man skillfully put his arm on Arthur's shoulder as if they were brothers.
"It's Kai." Arthur said with a smile.
"Of course it's me, my best friend. Guess where I'm going?”Kel's appearance was almost identical to Sir Ector, who had adopted the siblings. It was not difficult to guess that he was Sir Ector's biological son.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be going to the church cemetery to represent your family in pulling out the Sword in the Stone, right?”Arthur said helplessly as he scratched his messy golden hair.
" Yeah." Kel smiled, but he seemed a little depressed.
"What's wrong?" Arthur naturally noticed this because they had a good relationship.
" It's all because of my father. He has great hopes for me if I can't pull it out."
"Well, to be fair, you don't want to be the King of England at all, right?”Arthur looked at Kel's dejected expression and could not help but persuade him." Besides, even if you can't pull it out, I don't think anyone will.”
"Why do you say that?" Kel looked at Arthur strangely.
Arthur shook his shoulders and chuckled." Which of those so-called nobles do you think is worthy of the title of King of England?”
"After so long, your prejudice against the nobles is still so deep."
"Don't worry. I've been with the few of you for so long. I know your character very well.”
......
In the church cemetery.
At this moment, countless people had already gathered.
"The one who draws the Sword in the Stone will become the King of England.”This news spread throughout the entire region. Whether it was ambitious or purely curious people, almost everyone came here.
According to the order of their titles, the nobles, such as dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, barons, etc., tried to draw their swords one by one.
Some of the nobles who did not covet the throne only held their breaths and chose to give up after confirming that they could not pull it out.
In addition, some ambitious nobles showed their ugly faces. Even if they couldn't pull the sword out, they would still hold the sword and pull it out. The sword cut their fingers and shoulders, but they turned a deaf ear.
The knights around them were all blushing. This was not because they were shy or because the weather was too hot, but because their king's appearance was too embarrassing. To them, it was a disgrace to the honor of knights.
" It's almost my turn." Kel smiled bitterly at Arthur." I definitely won't be able to pull it out."”
"Don't be discouraged." Arthur shook his head and smiled." It's all about participation. You have to relax. Even if you can't pull it out, don't embarrass yourself. Look! Just like Gauss."
Kel's gaze fell on the young man who was leaning on the sword. He was one of their good friends, Gauss Spolles.
"You idiot." Arthur laughed when he saw Gauss walking down the stage." If you can't pull it out, then don't. Don't you deserve to be embarrassed?”
"That's right." Kel also burst into laughter. He looked at Gauss, who was covered in blood (cut by a sword) and said,"I've never seen you so ambitious to become the King of England."”
" Get lost." Gauss wiped the blood off his face and smiled bitterly." My father forced me to do this."”
" Uh." Kel shut his mouth after hearing Gauss 'words.
"I'll leave first. You two unlucky fools can chat slowly.”Arthur held back his laughter and disappeared into the crowd.
......
After leaving the crowd, Arthur found a random alley and wanted to be alone.
He then remembered that when Sir Ector was training him for almost ten years, Altolia, his sister, had been hiding in the dark! Every night, the sound of the sword being swung echoed in the night wind.
Arthur then realized that he was just an idiot. He kept saying that he wanted his sister to leave the king's fire pit, but instead, he said that he wanted her to leave the king's fire pit.
Unknowingly, Arthur's eyes were already wet.
A man does not shed tears easily, but it has not reached the point of sadness.
Just as his consciousness gradually blurred, two different sounds woke him up.
The first sound was a cry of surprise." The Sword in the Stone has been pulled out!”
The second sound was like a metallic sound." Detected that the host is sincerely in love with his younger sister. Activating sister-control system."
