This is the first and last time I apologize to the king for my injustice.

"Really? You are really knowledgeable, Bedivere."

Wang said movedly.

He lowered his head and did not look at the knight.

Wang no longer knew what he was doing, breathing quietly,

"Bedivere. Take my sword-"

With the stolen voice, give the last command.

"Listen up. Through this forest, over that blood-stained hill. Beyond that there's a deep lake. Throw my sword into it—"

"————! King, then...!"

The knight knows what it is.

The Sword of the Lady of the Lake.

Letting go of the sword that had protected the king until now, the king's proof, meant the end of the king she served.

"————Go. Come back here when you're done. I want to hear what you saw."

The king's words remained unchanged.

The knight picked up the holy sword and crossed the hill hesitantly.

--Then.

Three times the knight hesitated to return the sword.

There is indeed a lake.

But Fa throws his sword into it.

If you throw the sword in, the king will no longer be the king.

The knight threw his sword in because of the king's disobedience, so he returned to the king's side.

The king repeatedly ordered the knights.

To the knight who lied about throwing away his sword, he replied, "Just obey the order."

Disobeying the king's orders was a mortal sin for a knight.

But she still risked her life for the second time.

Whenever I am in front of the lake, I will think of the king's life.

--But this will eventually end.

Realizing that the king's will would never change, the knight threw his sword into the lake for the third time.

The holy sword was returned to the lake.

A bright white hand appeared on the water and took the sword. After spinning three times in mid-air, the holy sword disappeared from the world.

"————"

Then the knight accepted.

The end of the king.

That long-standing responsibility ends here.

When we crossed the hill for the third time, the forest ridges covered our face.

There are no traces of the battlefield.

There is no look of bloodthirsty war, in the clear mist.

"——Throw the sword into the lake. The hand of the lake fairy actually catches the sword."

The king opened his eyes because of the knight's words.

"...Really? Then lift up your chest. You, obey your king's command."

In the voice of welcoming death, the knight nodded quietly.

——It's all over.

Will their country continue to be in turmoil after that? The war will not end, and the days of destruction will come soon.

However, the king's war ended here.

He - no, she completed that task in the end.

...the light gradually disappears.

Because the matter is finished, the last power to protect her disappears.

But she didn't close her eyes, she still remembered the promise she made in her dream.

【As promised, I will wait for you.】

Having completed her mission as a king, the girl named Artoria quietly looked at the sky.

In her gradually blurred vision, a familiar figure seemed to emerge...

That is……

【Fiya, have you finally come to pick me up?】

With her last strength, she stretched out her hand to the sky.

The next moment, she received a response. The arm was wrapped in a pair of gentle and slender catkins...

"Toliya kept her promise, I'm here."

Simple to the extreme, it made the dying blonde girl shine again.

"Yes, you are here"

The silver-haired girl who arrived seemed to have mysterious magic power in her hands. Artoria felt that the pain and curse that had entangled her were slowly leaving, and her strength was gradually returning.

With the support of the silver girl, the king of Zeng Jin stood up.

"Your Highness, King and Queen"

The knight standing by was surprised by the way the visitor appeared, but after being slightly stunned, she bowed and saluted.

Which one is the queen?

No matter what others thought, she never thought that this beautiful queen would be an evil witch. Even though she should have disappeared in the flames, she miraculously appeared here in front of the king.

Not to mention, Wang's health improved significantly after her arrival.

"Bedivere"

The soft cry made the knight who was temporarily absent-minded feel ashamed.

The beautiful queen turned around. This beauty that should not belong to this world dazzled the knight, who was a woman, but something appeared at this moment that occupied her gaze——

The broken sword, the two pieces floating in front of the queen, is still a magnificent sword even if it is broken.

Bedivere felt suffocated.

That is the king's sword, the sword in the stone that embodies the essence of the knight and represents the glory of the king. That knight's long sword named lburn.

The sword that had been inserted into the stone platform was so beautiful that I didn't have the courage to touch it.

"Your Highness, this————"

The knight was puzzled.

This sword should have been treasured by Wang Zhen after it was broken. Why——?

"Both King Arthur and Queen Guinevere will be history"

The silver-haired queen showed an alluring smile, and her voice sounded as sweet as a silver bell.

"And this sword will be given to you, Bedivere, who implements chivalry."

Heard something incredible——

Along with the queen's soft moan, the lburn floating in front of her quietly turned into a dazzling white stream of light and fell on the knight.

"ah--?!!"

Lifting his cloak in surprise, the knight caressed the area under his right shoulder——

There, there is a brand new arm with the same pattern as lburn.

"This is?"

The knight clearly remembered that this arm was lost to protect the king when he fought with the king. Now——

"Is it true? Compared to me, you are the real knight."

The voice came from behind——

"Lancelot is that you?"
