I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 97 Morgan le Fay is challenging the sword in the stone

the other side.

The second ring of the capital, the ring of secret rituals.

This place is not only the largest branch of the Clock Tower outside of London, where top-notch magic workshops are set up, but it is also a gathering place for the mansions of high-ranking nobles and great magicians in the capital.

On the east side of that landmark clock tower on the Second Ring Road, near the Silver Crown Court,

The hill-like mansion of Edward II, the Grand Duke of Cornwall, is located here.

now,

In the tranquil study of this castle, a symbol of power and wealth, a voice, tinged with a hint of surprise, resounded.
"You're saying that Morgan le Fay gave the Red Dragon Ring to that brat who impersonated the king?"

"Yes, Grand Duke, Bishop."

Inside the room, the square-faced knight, who had been dismissed by Galahad during the day, knelt on one knee and reported to the two figures in the shadows.
“I saw it with my own eyes; it was Saint Elizabeth who delivered the Red Dragon Ring.”

In the shadow of the tall, flowing curtains, Edward II, Duke of Cornwall, frowned deeply and asked again:
"Didn't you tell him the benefits of becoming paladins and pledging allegiance to Chelos?"

The square-faced knight quickly replied, "I have informed him, but that brat still accepted the Red Dragon Ring."

"They really don't know what's good for them."

Edward II snorted coldly, looked at the Archbishop of Canterbury who was deeper in the shadows, and asked,
"Bishop, you must have heard it. Do you still need this paladin now?"

"The church does need his achievements, but since that's the case, then so be it."

The Archbishop of Canterbury smiled slightly from the shadows, revealing a kind smile.

Upon hearing this, Edward II immediately turned to look at the square-faced knight kneeling on the ground and said coldly:
"Then we don't need him anymore. You take some men and kill him right now."

"Remember, do it quickly and don't reveal your identity."

"I don't want to hear Sir Euphias's attacks on me tomorrow morning."

"Understand?"

Upon hearing this command, the square-faced knight recalled Suya's seemingly unassuming yet undeniably arrogant attitude during the day, and couldn't help but let out a mocking sneer. He immediately lowered his head and replied:

"Yes!"

Soon, the square-faced knight stepped outside and pointed out several knights to enter a secret room to the side.

The five of them removed their heavy armor, put on tight black clothes and white iron masks, and with a light tap of their toes, they leaped out of the mansion windows one after another like wild geese spreading their wings, their figures disappearing into the dim sunlight.

The five people had only just left.

A gaunt assassin with a panicked expression, wearing heavy armor with a red and white cross, suddenly ran quickly from the main gate of the mansion towards the study.

He didn't have time to worry about etiquette, slammed open the study door, and shouted urgently:
"Your Excellency! Something terrible has happened!"

Edward II, in his study, assumed the square-faced knight had returned and immediately frowned.

"What's going on? I told you to do something—huh? Calvin? Weren't you supposed to be keeping watch at the Silver Crown Court?"

However, before Edward II could react, the assassin hurriedly reported:
"Princess Morgan le Fay has left the Silver Crown Court, taking with her the magicians of the Clock Tower. The magicians are on their way."

Edward II's eyes widened suddenly, sensing a sense of foreboding.
"What did you say, Morgan le Fay? That woman left the Silver Crown Court?"

The assassin named Calvin took a couple of breaths before reporting with a horrified expression:
"The princess has stolen the projection magic props we purchased at great expense, and is leading her people towards St. Stephen's Cathedral, seemingly to pull out the sword in the stone!"

In the shadows, Edward II and the Archbishop of Canterbury exchanged a glance, both seeing the chill in each other's eyes.

"not good!"

Afternoon, 18 PM.

The sun was setting.

Knight Street, north of the Fourth Ring Road of the capital.

Against the backdrop of the gradually darkening sky and the elongated shadows,

Sua arrived here carrying a wallet containing a huge sum of 2000 gold pounds. This place was fourteen blocks away from Tavern Street, near the third ring of the royal capital's protective ring.

After lunch, Lucan and Dagonet went out to gather intelligence, while Mary remained silent, clutching her half-empty purse and hiding in her room, refusing to see anyone, her face streaked with tears.

Having nothing else to do, Suya practiced for two hours, maxing out her proficiency in [False Clock]. She then borrowed a map of the capital from the tavern clerk, memorized the incomplete map, and, seeing that it was about time, walked here.

at this time,

The entire Knight Street was sparsely populated. The setting sun filtered through the plane trees on both sides of the road, scattering their shadows. A gentle breeze blew by, passing through the gaps between ears and temples.

Stepping on the slowly falling sycamore leaves that have scattered all over the ground,

When Suya looked up, she saw...
At the end of the street stood a tall, graceful, and solitary figure.

however--

That was not Gao Wen.

The moment their eyes met, a fragrance as potent as strong liquor wafted over them.

What followed was her magnificent bosom, supported by two overlapping white tulle skirts, no less impressive than that of Gawain.

The woman who suddenly bumped into him hooked her finger, lifted Suya's chin, and revealed a wicked woman's smile.

"Oh, it's great to see you again—"

"Little Knight King!"

Suddenly attacked by the face wash, Suya stared at the woman in front of her, her eyes widening slightly, a look of utter bewilderment on her face.

"Alexia!?"

Yes, standing here at this moment is Alexia, the Macedonian king who is still conquering Britain!

At this moment, the other person was wearing a large hooded cloak that concealed her shimmering red hair and voluptuous, tall figure. Her red lips curved into a subtle smile as she stared at Suya with an amused expression.

Suya snapped out of her daze, immediately took a step back, placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, and questioned,

"Why are you here?!"

Alexia blinked her beautiful eyes, a playful look in her eyes: "Oh~ it seems you want to see someone else?"

Suya thought to herself, "Isn't this just stating the obvious?" and quickly asked:

What did you do to them?

"It's a pity that I didn't see anyone here when I arrived. How pitiful~ It seems you've been stood up."

Suya was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

It seems that along the way, there was indeed no knight in sight on Knight Street. Logically speaking, most of the knights with names and surnames in the capital lived on this street, such as Agravivan living at number 13, Gawain living at number 19, and even the holy knights of the church lived nearby.

Could it be that something happened in the capital?

Suya looked at Alexia, who had appeared there, but sensed no aggression or murderous intent from her. It was as if Alexia was simply there for a stroll and to enjoy the scenery.

He frowned slightly and immediately asked:

"What are you doing here, Conqueror?"

Alexia smiled, slightly raised her head, and looked towards the inner ring of the royal capital.
Suya had already checked the map and was absolutely certain that she wasn't looking towards the Silver Crown Royal Court, but rather towards the left side of the inner ring of the capital.

The location of the St. Stephen's Cathedral with the sword stuck in the stone!

Immediately afterwards, Suya heard,

This red-haired beauty, with a heart set on conquering the world, slightly curved her red lips, revealing a dashing smile befitting a conqueror.

"I, the Emperor, have come to witness a beginning—"

"The beginning of the world's collapse!"
