Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

"My mother is wrong. Not all girls lie."

"Artoria is not scary at all."

Even though she had grown into an incredibly mature queen, Artoria still felt the purest kind of heart flutter when she heard these words.

"It would really touch my heart if you said something like that."

Artoria stroked Ian's neck and gently pressed him to her lips.

"Then, I'd like to try it too."

"What exactly do you like about my taste?"

It was unexpected, or perhaps it was premeditated.

Artoria's lips met Ian's lips in a kiss.

The food that the dragon had never been able to fully savor is now being enjoyed by the King of Camelot as well.

but--

What is she enjoying, it or him?

This is unknown.

But Ian knew he really liked the feeling.

For quite a while—

Only after her mouth was filled with the fragrance did Artoria release her mouth.

She was a little proud.

Because of this process alone, Artoria also felt the burning love he was expressing from another direction.

She was his sustenance.

But at the same time--

Wasn't he her knight in shining armor?

"So this is what it tastes like."

Artoria licked her lips and smiled happily.

"tastes good."

"As for the future—"

"I need to try it with you more."

"But before that..."

Artoria exhaled a soft breath.

The pleasant time is over; now it's time to get down to business.

"Ian, can you promise me something?"

"it is good."

"..."

"Aren't you going to ask what's going on?"

"Artoria's request is definitely a good thing."

"is it?"

Artoria was even happier.

"In that case——"

Her hand stroked his cheek.

"us……"

Let's get married in a few days.

91. Mei Liuqina's premarital affair

a few days later.

With Artoria's strong encouragement, Camelot's enthusiasm for work was significantly boosted.

"Work hard, and life will get sweeter and sweeter!"

"The best is yet to come!"

The people encouraged each other and then put all their energy into working frantically.

but--

What they don't know is.

For the past few days, the same thing has been repeating itself every night.

That was Meiliuqina's affair.

At this moment, the moonlight is bright.

On the unguarded, half-finished new city wall, Meryuchina and Ian arrived together.

She leaned against the wall, her hands resting on the top of it.

Behind her stood Ian, the chief knight of the Round Table.

But now...

Instead of gripping Excalibur Morgan as usual, he put his arm around Melyuchina's waist.

"So delicate."

"You say that every time—"

"Couldn't you have used some different words?"

With most of her body pressed against the wall, Mei Liuqina muttered a complaint in a low voice.

"Sometimes I also wish I could hear you compliment me in other ways."

"That--"

"Is this okay?"

As Ian said this, he gently placed a tender kiss on Melyuchina's exposed back.

"You, what are you doing?"

Mei Liuqina trembled slightly upon being kissed like that.

"Because it looked so delicate, I couldn't resist giving it a kiss."

"This should be considered a new way of praising someone, right?" Ian replied.

"..."

Sensing the seriousness in Ian's words, Melyuchina knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless.

His thought process cannot be measured by normal thinking.

"Forget it, stop praising me."

Mei Liuqina bit her lip.

Let's do what we're supposed to do—

"..."

"Okay, whatever you're willing to do."

In fact, although they were both dragons, Meliuchina still felt that there was a physical gap between herself and Ian that was almost impossible to overcome through external conditions.

For example, right now.

Despite her best efforts to prove that this wasn't something she should seriously consider when having an affair, she inevitably encountered a Waterloo-like situation in reality that made her question the meaning of life.

Because he really is...

too……

That's amazing...

To give a practical example, here's a small bamboo tube, which was originally perfectly fine.

But one day, a very hard stone was forced into the bamboo tube no matter what.

As we all know, bamboo tubes cannot compare to the hardness of stone.

So, the fate of the bamboo tube was obvious—it would be completely stretched open until the stone could fit inside.

This was the only possible outcome, although it wasn't easy to accept at first.

However, over time, the bamboo tubes adapted to this situation.

After all, as time goes by, the bamboo tube can never return to its original state, can it?

Mei Liuqina turned around and looked at him behind her.

Although it was an extremely taboo "affair" agreed upon by the king, he was able to feel genuine joy from it.

It seems——

I didn't say I was completely unattractive, did I?

As Meiliuqina thought this, the muscles in her waist involuntarily began to move.

She looked like she was trying so hard to hold onto something she had missed in the past.

for a long time.

A few clouds drifted across the night sky.

Mei Liuqina lowered her skirt to cover up the marks that shouldn't be known to anyone.

She was no longer as disheveled as before.

Having an affair with Ian is actually much more beneficial to the body than regular knight training.

"You seem especially happy today."

"Has something good happened?"

As Melyuchina thoughtfully helped Ian get dressed, she asked this question.

"Can you tell me?"

"I don't know if it's a good thing, but I guess it is."

Ian took Melyuchina's hand.

"Artoria, I hope you can help maintain order at the wedding."

"She trusts you a lot."

"..."

Ian's few simple words made Melyuchina panic.

"He's about to marry Artoria, and he's still asking me to do this kind of thing..."

"Isn't it not good?"

"I do not know."

"but--"

Ian cupped Melyuchina's cheeks in his hands.

"Meliuchina looks very sad."

"If I don't do anything about it, I'll probably feel sad too, right?"

"you……"

Mei Liuqina's face flushed.
