Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

People only fall silent when their most sensitive point is pointed out, but they are unable to answer the question.

It turned out to be the case.

I never imagined that "Camelot is really chaotic" would become a reality so quickly.

Mei Liuqina felt that her feelings were somewhat complicated.

"That--"

"Your Majesty, since that's what you think, why don't you just tell him?"

"I think he would be very happy if he could understand your feelings."

"Meliuchina, I can't do that."

Artoria covered her breasts, which were no longer restricted in their growth after the Caliburn sword broke.

"I am the King of Britain."

"I have my responsibilities to every person in Britain."

"I……"

"You can't reveal your identity, right?"

Meiliuqina quickly understood.

If Artoria wants to explain everything to Ian, she will inevitably expose her female identity.

But if that were the case, the people of Camelot would certainly reject it.

They might even feel angry—

The king who had ruled them for so long was actually a woman disguised as a man!

"I understand."

"In that case—"

Melyuchina drew two Aroundight swords from her waist.

"Your Majesty, then immediately bestow upon me the title of Knight of the Round Table!"

"Let me have it!"

"It's not Lancelot, but a knight named Melyuchina!"

"Let me protect you!"

56. Melyuchina: I will protect your relationship!

Camelot's square became lively once again.

Without him.

It was merely a gathering of onlookers after everyone learned about Meliuchina's investiture ceremony.

It's no wonder they like to join in the fun.

after all--

Who would have thought that Melyuchina, who had only been there for a few days, was already qualified to be knighted at the Round Table?

To know……

That's the same status as "Monster" Ian.

Not to mention she's a woman!

Thinking about it this way, the knight named Melyuchina's strength is probably beyond imagination.

but--

What they didn't know was that Meliuchina, who was standing there at that moment, was actually a little flustered inside.

Although he claimed to be a knight from across the sea.

But in fact……

Prior to this, she had never received any knighthood.

That's right.

The so-called title of knight was self-proclaimed.

Now that she was about to receive the title from Artoria, Melyuchina found herself becoming somewhat nervous.

However, it was at this very moment.

A hand patted her on the shoulder.

"no problem."

"I trust you--"

The one who said this was none other than the only person to date who could be called a "Knight of the Round Table".

That is Ian.

"..."

Whenever Melyuchina thought of what Artoria had said to her, she would feel a complex mix of emotions when she looked back at Ian.

He possessed pure strength, and could even be described as the most direct kind of strongman in his own eyes.

But at the same time, his understanding is so unique.

"You guy..."

Mei Liuqina sighed helplessly.

"I wasn't nervous at all."

"Thank you for your concern."

After saying this, Melyuchina took a few steps forward, keeping a small distance from Ian.

She didn't want to be mistaken for an enemy by the arriving Artoria.

"The king is coming!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Soon, everyone's attention was focused on that direction.

Artoria, who had changed back into her usual royal attire, walked towards them step by step.

Her expression was serious, and her eyes were earnest. Apart from her relatively petite figure, it was impossible to imagine that she was a girl.

That being said—

Once she learned about Artoria's feelings for Ian, Melyuchina noticed many things were amiss.

That's right.

Even in this situation, Artoria was actually keeping an eye on Ian.

Those unaware of the details might easily mistake it for the king's recognition of his chief knight.

But Melyuchina knew that wasn't the case at all.

That was a love that could never be fulfilled.

It's a feeling that can't be expressed in words.

If it weren't for the burden of being King Arthur, Melyuchina thought that Artoria would probably have rushed straight to Ian.

but……

The reality dictates that such a thing is impossible.

She was the best and most suitable queen of Britain.

Such passionate expression of emotion will probably never happen again.

Thinking of this, Meiliuqina felt a pang of sadness.

tap.

tap.

The king's boots walked on the ground.

Artoria came to Meryuchina.

“Mei Liuqina Qing”.

"king."

The petite swordsman met the gaze of the King of Britain.

That was almost exactly the same scene as when Ian and Artoria were looking at each other.

"Princess Meiliuqina, are you willing to swear allegiance to me?"

Artoria asked this question, but her gaze kept drifting towards the direction where Ian was.

In her heart, he was probably the only one who could truly be called a Knight of the Round Table.

Melyuchina understood this, of course.

So when faced with Artoria's rather casual question, she simply turned her head back politely.

There was no chivalry.

There were no further interactions.

Yes, it was just that Artoria and Melyuchina exchanged glances once again.

The former's eyes seemed to be saying something.

"I apologize for the perfunctory manner of your knighthood ceremony."

The latter's eyes provided an answer.

"It's ok."

"You have forgiven me for so many mistakes."

"I will also dedicate my protection to your relationship with Ian!"

"May glory bless you, my knight."

"Mei Liuqina, you will surely achieve great military exploits."

Artoria concluded the investiture ceremony for Melyuchina with a simple yet sincere remark.

"Wuhu——"

Cheers erupted in the square.

The people of Camelot were overjoyed at the birth of the second Knight of the Round Table.

The crowd began singing this folk song at some unknown time.

“Wise king.”

"Your subordinates will surely increase like bamboo shoots after a spring rain."

"You will lead Camelot to glory once again."

Artoria and Melyuchina locked eyes once again.

The two said no more, and gradually walked into the distance amidst the cheers of the crowd.

"Thank you, Mei Liuqina."

There's no need to call me that in private.

"Too……"

"Come on, tell me more about Ian!"

Meliuchina clutched her chest, disguising her actions as if she were swearing allegiance to Artoria.

"I'll help you keep him here!"
