Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

As Artoria spoke, her tone completely devoid of any respect for a knight.

She kissed him, and then said gently:

"My knight, you no longer need to endure."

"Roar—"

The next moment, Meiliuqina was once again insulted by him in front of his face.

This time, however, it's far more terrifying than the last.

"Ugh—ugh—ugh—"

"king--"

"I can't breathe..." Meiliuqina said, her body trembling.

"Ok?"

Do you feel the same way?

Artoria placed her hand on Melyuchina's head, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

"You should really like it."

"Mei Liuqina, is it fun to steal my man?"

98. Melyuchina: I'm going to steal your man!

"..."

Mei Liuqina felt that her breathing, which was already extremely difficult, was now completely uncontrollable.

King Arthur, who is actually Artoria in front of him, knows everything.

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing."

"I didn't steal your man..."

Clinging to the last shred of hope, Mei Liuqina shook her head.

Things kept falling off her cheeks, but new ones would soon follow.

"Now that things have come to this, do you still want to deceive me?"

Artoria sighed.

"Meliuchina, do you think I'm easy to fool?"

"Or--"

"You never considered me the king of Camelot from the very beginning?"

"..."

"Yes, sorry!"

Feeling immense pressure, Meliuchina began to apologize.

"I really didn't mean to do that!"

"My king, please give me a chance!"

"I will never touch Ian again! Not even once!"

"You want a future?"

Artoria's gaze turned utterly cold.

Do you think I'll forgive you and let you continue cheating on me with other men?

"No, that's not the case!"

As the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy, Meliuchina once again felt the threat of death.

and many more.

This feeling……

Why does it look so familiar?

correct!

I had the same feeling when I took Artoria's gun before.

Could it be that--

Did Artoria already realize it back then?

Mei Liuqina felt her mind go completely blank.

She realized that she had greatly underestimated Artoria's cunning.

"Your Majesty, please listen to me."

Melyuchina's voice received no response.

She only felt herself being lifted up.

The next moment, clear water flowed down Meiliuqina's cheeks, washing away what was enough to suffocate her.

She was able to see the situation clearly.

The one who lifted her up was none other than Ian.

Artoria, on the other hand, watched coldly from a distance.

Are you feeling any better?

Standing beside Meiliuqina, he asked so gently.

"Hey, this..."

"Hmm." Mei Liuqina hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I feel much better..."

"So you're really afraid of this feeling—"

Ian bent down and picked up Melyuchina.

Her petite figure made her feel like a pillow in his arms.

If it were a normal day—

Meiliuqina felt her heart was about to pound.

but now……

She just felt panicked.

No.

Panic is an understatement.

It should be called terrifying.

"The king is still over there, Ian, let me go!"

The more Meiliuqina struggled, the tighter he held her.

That feeling was like saying—

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The feelings in one's heart were combined with the actual words spoken.

Meiliuqina thought she was hallucinating.

However, the warmth he gave her was an undeniable and genuine feeling.

However, at this moment, Artoria had already walked over.

Her gaze was so stern that the moment they met, Meliuchina felt as if she had been sentenced to death.

Slap it.

Meiliuqina was slapped.

But there was only that one slap.

Artoria did not retaliate in a more terrible way.

“You should be grateful, Melyuchina.”

“Ian, I want to protect you every single time.”

"otherwise--"

"You are now nothing but a dead soul."

"..."

The premonition in her heart came true, and Mei Liuqina felt both ashamed and fortunate.

"But Your Majesty—"

The petite swordsman ignored the burning pain on her face.

I used to be afraid of being punished, so I never dared to say a word from my heart.

Now that she's been exposed, Meliuchina finds herself emboldened.

"I really like him."

"Even if you insult me, drive me away, or even kill me, it won't change this fact."

"I'm not like you, Artoria!"

"I just like him!"

Meliuchina looked directly into Artoria's eyes.

"Not like you!"

"You wicked woman who only knows how to use Ian to maintain the Camelot royal family! You slut! You filthy woman!"

"I'm going to steal your man!"

"Who told you to take advantage of him!"

He spoke all his innermost thoughts in one breath.

Mei Liuqina felt much better.

Even if she dies, she will die without regrets.

The petite woman closed her eyes, ready to die peacefully in his arms.

however--

“What strange things are you saying, Melyuchina?”

"What do you mean I'm going to use Ian to maintain Camelot's royal family?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Artoria's questioning tone, Melyuchina opened her eyes.

She stated it with great confidence.

"Isn't this your purpose?"

"Ian is so powerful, you must want to have his bloodline to maintain the strength of the royal family, right?"

"Isn't your so-called wedding based on this?"

"..."

"madness."

Artoria turned her face away.

"If that's really the case, why should I marry him? Wouldn't it be better to keep him under control? And what's the point of turning Camelot into a kingdom that welcomes dragons?"

"Eh?"
