Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

Can't go wrong.

The "illegitimate daughter" she mentioned was none other than Bagst, standing right in front of her.

After much hesitation, Mei Liuqina finally spoke up.

"I know everything."

"You are Ian's 'illegitimate daughter,' right?"

"..."

When his deepest concerns were exposed by his colleague in an instant, Bagst's first reaction was naturally to deny it.

"What a joke!"

"How could I possibly be his 'illegitimate daughter,' Melyuchina, are you insane!"

"Your mother is Morgan."

You are her first child.

"Your mother and father did not have a public relationship."

"Ugh."

Mei Liuqina sighed.

"No need to deny it anymore, Bagst."

"I know everything."

"Some things you can't hide from yourself."

Although he often bickered with his colleague, this was the first time Bagst had ever seen Melyuchina speak so calmly.

"When...did you find out?"

"Who told you that?"

“That’s not important, Bagst.”

Looking at her, Mei Liuqina felt a little guilty.

After all, in terms of actual relationships, having had multiple illicit affairs with Ian, he should actually be Bagst's "enemy."

The key point is—

"What do you think?"

Mei Liuqina turned her head to express her thoughts.

"Do you want to stop this wedding?"

"To witness your father being taken away by someone else, just to perpetuate the throne, is something you simply cannot accept."

"You said so..."

Are you planning to help me?

Bagst asked cautiously.

“Meliuqina, you weren’t like this before.”

"Then was then, and the present is now."

"and--"

Meiliuqina turned around.

She mustered her courage and looked her in the eye.

"I'm not really helping you."

"I just……"

"Just helping myself."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Bagst's eyes.

But soon, she nodded.

"Although I don't know what you mean by saying that, at least..."

Bagst extended his incredibly strong arm.

"You and I are thinking the same thing right now."

"..."

Melyuchina grabbed Bagst's hand.

"Ah."

"At least for now, it's the same."

Ever since——

The knights' consensus quickly evolved into more practical actions.

When rumors cease to be mere rumors, then so-called admonitions take on real meaning.

Stopping the wedding has become something the two of them absolutely must do.

only……

Whether it is Melyuchina, the lover of the chief knight of the Round Table, who is not yet known to others;

Or perhaps, Bagst, a true "illegitimate daughter".

They all understood one thing very clearly:

That means the chances of getting Artoria to change her mind are extremely low.

It's important to know that this is a king who dared to express his gender without fear in the face of countless doubts.

Now tell her, don't go through with the marriage.

how to think……

These are all things that are hard to accept, right?

Bagst and Melyuchina exchanged a glance, both knowing that what awaited them next was an unequivocal rejection from Artoria.

How could it be her place to interfere with the king's wedding?

but--

An attitude absolutely must be made clear.

This unjust wedding should never have continued.

however.

However, things did not continue as Bagst and Melyuchina had expected.

After confirming the two people's attitudes, Artoria remained calm, as if what they were talking about was just a routine government report.

"I see."

Altria nodded.

"Lord Bagst, you may leave now."

"I have some things I'd like to discuss with Mei Liuqina Qing alone."

It lacked the unquestionable royal majesty I had imagined.

There was also no arrogance in Camelot's ruler who would not allow anyone to question his decisions.

even……

Artoria never denied the rumors themselves.

Bagst felt that something seemed a little off.

But the king's command is still the king's command.

At this moment, still a Knight of the Round Table, she could only nod in agreement.

"I understand."

"Then, Your Majesty, I'll go and attend to other matters."

"Well, let's go."

The door between the throne rooms was opened by Baggstra and then closed again.

Only Melyuchina and Artoria remained inside.

"Your Majesty, what is this...?"

Being left all alone, Mei Liuqina felt a little panicked.

After all, considering the current situation, in a sense, he was someone that Artoria had to eliminate.

The fiancé, who is about to be married, keeps coming in and out of another woman's presence on the eve of the wedding.

No matter how you look at it, it's the ultimate insult to the Camelot monarchy.

Even now...

Meiliuqina could feel his temperature.

There's even a slight sense of flow.

That's right.

Shortly before coming here with Bagst, she shamelessly went to see Ian again to bolster her courage.

However, Artoria did not directly respond to Melyuchina.

She silently rose from the throne and walked step by step forward until she was in front of him.

That's a situation that makes you feel suffocated just by looking at it.

Meiliuqina naturally felt this extremely terrifying pressure as well.

"Your Majesty, did our opinion displease you?"

"However, the rumors outside are just too powerful, so let's not do that for the time being!"

but--

Do you have time today?

Artoria asked softly, as if she hadn't heard Melyuchina's words at all.

Mei Liuqina paused for a moment, but quickly answered.

"If Your Majesty needs it, I will certainly have the time."

"That's fine."

A barely perceptible glint of sharpness flashed in Artoria's eyes.

"Then, Minister Meiliuqina—"

“I now command you as the king.”

"At sunset, come and help Ian and me take a bath."

97. Meiliuqina, is it fun to steal my man?

A cold wind blew through the streets of Camelot.

This seems to be just one scene in its countless peaceful nights.

but--

For Melyuchina, it wasn't like that.

Dressed in a maid outfit, she stood there, but dared not push open the bathhouse door.

Serving others during their bath...

Why is this Artoria's request?
