Why?
Lancelot was enraged by Artoria.
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Too Many Things to Do, But Let's Have a Baby First (4K)
[Artoria gained the upper hand. Relying on the weapon Morgan had carefully prepared for you, and with Lancelot unwilling to use the full power of the Holy Sword—that is, the Noble Phantasm release of Servants as you remember them—his superb martial arts were ineffective against Artoria, who was clad in lion armor and had become a super iron can. As long as he could not break through the armor's protection, he could not cause damage to her body.]
[Artoria pressed her advantage, relying on the near-infinite stamina and magic power granted to her by her red dragon bloodline, forcing Lancelot to limit his dodging space and pushing him step by step to the edge of the arena.]
The game turned into a long, drawn-out battle, much to the delight of the surrounding spectators. They cheered for the two knights on the court, feeling that even if they died, it would be worth the price of admission to witness such a thrilling duel.
The only one who was dissatisfied was Morgan. She felt resentful as she watched Artoria's tactics, which relied almost entirely on the weapons and armor she had prepared.
[Until Lancelot was forced into a corner and fully realized that he had no chance of turning the tide unless he used his Noble Phantasm, he chose to concede. After all, it was just a duel, and there was no need to make such a big fuss.]
With Lancelot's surrender, you know the tournament is over.
You personally presented the award to the tournament champion, Artoria. As Morgan wished, you decided to temporarily bestow your own weapons, armor, and horse upon Artoria as a reward. And as you expected, Artoria, having just accepted your favor, did not use her champion status to challenge you again.
Everyone cheered for the champion. Amidst the gazes of the Camelots and numerous contestants, Artoria stood beside you. Taking this opportunity, you decided to go all out.
[You first announced to everyone that you would appoint Artoria as your army commander and scribe. Your sudden granting of such great power to Artoria surprised everyone, but most people didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, she had just won the crown and proved her strength to the world.]
However, this incident has made people realize that this knight who suddenly appeared has your support, and may even have sworn allegiance to you.
Your legendary story has been further elevated.
According to British historical accounts, long before King Arthur drew the Sword of the Elector, when he was merely a squire, he had the privilege of being taught by Queen Europa. Under Europa's tutelage, King Arthur, then a squire, became a knight and served as a commander of the army under Queen Europa.
[Since Artoria Pendragon has become your knight, her claim to the Kingdom of Camelot (strong) has changed to a claim (weak)]
After announcing Artoria's reward, you finally dropped a bombshell, declaring to the public that you and Morgan had decided to officially marry after killing King Vortigern and ending the Camelot civil war. The people of Camelot cheered, for everyone had witnessed your efforts and heard your story with the princess; in their eyes, it would be a pity if you didn't get together.
[As the person involved, Morgan is excited by your actions, and the annoyance she just felt because Artoria used the tool she prepared for you has been put to the back of her mind. However, in public, she still maintains the calm and demeanor befitting a princess, as if this were just an ordinary matter.]
Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue had reached its peak due to these two major events, you announced the end of the martial arts tournament.
[Because you hosted a grand martial arts tournament, the Kingdom of Camelot has received a special bonus—the Kingdom of Knights. For the next 3 years, the Kingdom of Camelot's tax revenue will increase by 30%, its territorial control will be easier to improve, and its lords will be more likely to attract legendary knights.]
[You have completed the second phase of the Legendary Event Chain; you have defeated Lancelot.]
The legendary knight Lancelot approached you after the tournament, completely captivated by your charm.
Chapter 30
Under these circumstances, he is willing to dedicate himself to your cause, help you join your ranks, assist you in defeating Vortigern, ending the civil war, and marrying Morgan as soon as possible.
The Kingdom of Camelot already possesses several legendary knights, and you now command half of them. You are now qualified to initiate a resolution to "form the Knights of the Round Table."
Hearing the simulator's reaction, Quinn, who had just recruited Lancelot, knew the time was ripe. He looked at Lancelot, who had approached him privately to offer his loyalty, and nodded reservedly in agreement to his request. Then, amidst Lancelot's excited smile, he arranged for Artoria to take him back to the camp to get to know the armored paladins.
Having received your orders and given the other party a beating, Artoria was no longer as hostile to Lancelot as before, and she patiently invited the Frenchman to leave with her.
Once the two had gone far away, Quinn could no longer suppress his joy.
Yes! I did it! My ticket to Valhalla is in hand!
Seeing that his successful retirement was just around the corner, Quinn immediately took action. He rushed to Camelot Palace, intending to strike while the iron was hot and discuss with Morgan the plan to form a knightly order.
Upon reuniting with Morgan at Camelot Palace, Quinn went straight to the point without any preamble: "My lord, I have a new idea."
"You have another idea?" This sudden question caught Morgan off guard. She looked at Quinn with a hint of resentment in her eyes. She had thought that this man had rushed over to cultivate their relationship after the engagement announcement, but in the end, they were discussing serious matters.
However, Morgan felt no dissatisfaction with the benefits that the successful conclusion of the tournament brought to the Kingdom of Camelot. She was now extremely interested in all of Quinn's ideas, so she asked, "So, what have you come up with this time?"
“Lancelot has just joined us, intending to serve Your Highness’s cause. I think this is a great opportunity for us to form a knightly order and recruit legendary figures from all over Europe to join Camelot, creating an elite force specifically to deal with Vortigern.”
"Serve me? He's here for you, isn't he?" Morgan couldn't help but tease after hearing this. Seeing the embarrassed look on Quinn's face, she nodded. "Do as you wish. I've appointed you as the Lord Mayor of the Palace. You have the authority to act as the King on my behalf."
“You can’t say that, Your Highness,” Quinn quickly interjected, afraid that Morgan might have some other thoughts in mind.
As Morgan said, Quinn, as the Mayor of the Palace, could indeed act as a king in the Kingdom of Camelot, which was currently without a king. However, for something as important as forming a knightly order, whether or not Morgan's permission was required was a completely different matter.
After all, the Knights were not armies in the conventional sense, but independent military organizations with their own fiefdoms, where they were equivalent to mini-kings and were accountable only to their religious leaders.
Under normal circumstances, no king would easily allow a knightly order to appear in his territory. The formation of a knightly order often involves a large number of transactions between religious authority and secular royal authority before it can gradually take shape. Now that Quinn has proposed to form a knightly order, if this were to happen in a Chinese dynasty, let alone the emperor agreeing, anyone who dares to utter a word about it would be thrown into prison.
Fortunately, Quinn is not in the East Asian Monster Room, but in Camelot, and Morgan is not the Chinese emperor, but the princess of Camelot, who is also facing a succession crisis.
However, even so, Quinn didn't want to squander Morgan's trust just to save trouble. He would only feel at ease doing such things after Morgan gave the order. As for what to do if Morgan disagreed...
Then sleep with her.JPG
Morgan would definitely agree as long as the baby is born.
Now that Morgan had agreed, Quinn decided to reward the rich woman for her trust in him. He picked up Morgan, who had just thought he was clueless about romance, and carried her straight to the princess's bedroom in front of all the guards. The guards were already used to this; after all, the two were engaged, so whatever they did was reasonable, and they no longer needed to hide from people.
[After your passionate encounter with Morgan, you, as the Minister of Camelot, signed the license to establish the Knights of the Round Table, and you initiated the resolution to form the Knights of the Round Table.]
You have designated a woodland on the outskirts of Camelot as the headquarters of the Knights, and you have ordered the construction of a castle there as the Knights' fiefdom.
This policy caused a sensation in the Kingdom of Camelot, shocking all the nobles, especially those former king's vassals who were only willing to pledge allegiance to the King of Camelot, were unwilling to support Morgan's succession in advance, and were ambitious. Therefore, the nobles realized that even if the political situation in Camelot changed,
Those vassals with relatively little political experience, or those who already supported Morgan's ascension to the throne, have all decided to give you their support.
[A faction has emerged in the Kingdom of Camelot—supporting Morgan the Declarant. The faction is currently weak; please continue to build up your strength. Once your faction reaches a certain level of power, you can claim the Camelot throne and support Morgan le Fay as King of Camelot.]
Morgan, as the ultimate beneficiary, also felt that giving you more operating funds would allow you to serve her; she misappropriated the national treasury to give you a gift.
You have gained 1600 gold coins, and your army has received a special buff—the Princess's Support—which prevents the army from consuming supplies when moving within the British territory.
[Your decision is taking effect. The Camelot Kingdom's cabinet will complete its transformation within one year, entering "Round Table Cabinet" mode. Please recruit more Round Table Knights as soon as possible to fill the cabinet positions after the transformation is complete.]
You have earned the title "Founder of the Knights of the Round Table," and your legendary story has been altered.
According to official European history, Queen Morgan von Camelot's husband, Quinn Europa, from the Mediterranean, established the legendary Knights of the Round Table, created the "Round Table Council," and changed the cabinet system of the Kingdom of Camelot. Some historians believe that the Round Table Council created by Quinn Europa represented "no distinction of rank or status among participants," and was the original prototype of various "equal and open" meetings that later became popular in Europe, as well as the origin of the fraternal culture in British schools.
[The Knights of the Round Table were formed under your policies, with Artoria and Lancelot joining them. They currently occupy 2 of the "Knights of the Round Table" slots, with a maximum of 12. Please recruit more Knights of the Round Table as soon as possible. When the Knights of the Round Table reach half their seats, a new resolution will be granted—the search for the Holy Relic.]
[Searching for Sacred Relics]
[Legend has it that the Knights of the Round Table in Camelot once visited the Holy Grail, a Catholic relic. As the Minister of Camelot and the founder of the Knights of the Round Table, you can also send your Knights to various places to find legendary religious relics. Each religious relic found will enhance your legendary deeds.]
When you initiate this decision, you must command a Knight of the Round Table to search for relics throughout Europe. Since you do not possess the "Fanboy" trait, your search for relics is not limited to Catholicism. Each religious relic obtained will grant your nation 1 point of legitimacy and unlock a clan tradition for your clan.
[Since you learned of the existence of the Holy Lance Rungomminiad from Morgan, you have unlocked this decision branch—the search for the Holy Lance Rungomminiad. This relic must be found by you personally.]
Your legendary deeds are known throughout Europe, from Britannia to Rome, everyone knows your name, and you have attracted the attention of special units.
The fairies have begun to take notice of your legend.
[The Roman Emperor Begins to Focus on Your Legend]
The legendary magician is speeding towards Camelot.
You have gained the world's attention.
hiss!
Quinn straightened up, his heart filled with respect, and the noise around him completely disappeared.
What does "world-class" attention mean? It means the leaders are here for an inspection! No way, I have to...
Chapter 31
I'll keep working hard and meticulously so that my superiors will be satisfied with my excellent professional skills!
Quinn was full of energy. He looked down at himself and saw his lover lying on the bed, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye with a puzzled look on her face. She asked breathlessly, "Are you tired?"
"No, I just suddenly want an heir."
At that moment, Morgana's cheeks, flushed from the intense activity, froze slightly. Her hair, mixed with sweat, clung to her face, making her look alluring. But as she came to her senses and realized what Quinn was saying, her eyes were filled with a captivating charm, making the princess's heart flutter with joy, as if spring had arrived, melting away the ice and bringing life back to the lush meadows.
"Then let's have a boy. He will surely have the most resilient physique in the world and become a great hero."
Actually, I'd prefer a girl.
Quinn was open about his desires, but he didn't care. He had plenty of time in the future; he would have boys and girls, and by then, his own children alone would be enough to fill the entire cabinet.
As expected of me, my eye for rich women is always so accurate. I gave her a design job and a government job. Morgan, you are so powerful.
Chapter Thirty: In Britain, a Round Table Holds Half the Kingdom
Thanks to the economic benefits brought by the tournament and the fame generated by the policies of forming the Knights of the Round Table, Camelot entered a period of rapid development. The turmoil caused by the defeat of the former King Uther by Vortigern also gradually improved along with the economic upswing.
You believe this year will be a bumper year because you've received battle reports from the front lines.
[Due to your scorched-earth strategy implemented in the Saxon heartland last year, the morale of the Saxon army has been shaken. No one is willing to fight alongside Vortigern in Britain after their homeland has been severely damaged. The King of Britain had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw his troops to the Channel region, surrendering a large area of occupied territory in the Camelot region. It is clear that the Saxons will not launch another war, at least not this year.]
The nobles of Camelot also learned of this news. They petitioned Morgan, requesting a truce with Vortigern for a period of time to allow the people to recuperate and the country to regroup and rebuild its army. Morgan was reluctant to accept the nobles' petition, believing them to be incompetent and incapable. She felt it was time to press the attack and drive Vortigern out of Britain.
In Morgan's eyes, while Vortigern might be a powerful individual, the Saxon army had lost all reason to continue occupying Camelot, especially after Camelot signed a mutual defense treaty with France, even if that treaty only applied to the Romans.
However, for the Saxons, whose main base was on the European continent, almost adjacent to France, France remained a great threat. The Saxons would not risk continuing to fight the Camelots against the possibility that their main base might be attacked by the French.
Morgan's idea is not wrong, because Camelot still has considerable war potential, especially after you formed the Knights.
The decision to form the Knights of the Round Table brought many knights from all over Europe to the Kingdom of Camelot. Of course, these knights were not legendary figures, so you did not intend to grant them a seat on the "Knights of the Round Table." However, you used your charm to persuade these knights to join the Kingdom of Camelot and make them members of the "Supporter Morgan" faction.
Thanks to your efforts, the "Supporter Morgan" faction has gradually expanded its influence, and can now mobilize 5400 conscripted troops.
This is why Morgan dared to advocate for war. After completing the formation of her faction, she conducted a survey of the mobilizable forces in Camelot. The results showed that the Camelot elites all supported war, which could draw up an army of up to 4 men, enough to completely drive out the Saxons.
However, as it turned out, the nobles of Camelot were not able to achieve a unified will, and Morgan also lacked the ability to centralize power. As a result, Morgan argued endlessly with the Camelot nobles, trying to persuade them to change their attitudes.
You have no comment on Morgan's claims.
[Because in your view, the core issue of the Camelotian Civil War is always Vortigern. As long as Vortigern is not eliminated, this civil war will not end. You actually agree with the choice of a truce. After all, what the Camelotians lack now is a means to directly confront Vortigern. Of course, you are not worried that the Saxons will make a comeback because your army is already strong enough.]
After Morgan gave you 1600 gold coins, you invested them in army recruitment. Your first legion has reached its limit, and you chose "Ironclad Paladins" for your second legion. Currently, the size of the second legion is 2, with a limit of 10. You now have 12 legions, or 600 Ironclad Paladins.
[This armored paladin legion is the source of all your confidence. You are confident that even if Morgan fails in his war, you can use this army to contain the Saxon attack. Therefore, you decide not to interfere with Morgan's ideas. You simply continue to familiarize Artoria and Lancelot with this army to prepare for future wars, while you yourself continue with your previous plans.]
You begin learning martial arts from Lancelot. Lancelot learns of your secret weakness in martial arts and gains a sense of obligation towards you, but he chooses to relinquish that obligation. He believes that your willingness to reveal this secret to him is a sign of your trust, and in return for that trust, he decides to keep it a secret for you and teach you everything he knows.
[You devised a scheme against Lancelot—you learned martial arts from him.]
And so, you returned to your monotonous life of going back to work and home.
[During the morning, you and Lancelot will spend three hours in the outskirts of Camelot receiving instruction from Lancelot, before returning to the court to handle state affairs. In the afternoon, you will tour Camelot with Artoria, sharing your knowledge and experience with her. In the evening, you will return to the court to continue learning fairy magic from Morgan, and after the lesson, you will listen to Morgan's complaints about the powerful and wealthy. Once Morgan has vented, you will spend time with him until dawn.]
Your life was simple and unpretentious, though a little unhealthy. Until the traces of winter completely disappeared from Britain and Camelot welcomed the spring planting season, your long-standing entanglement with Morgan bore fruit.
As you watch Morgan's belly gradually swell under your care, her temperament softens, and she even stops arguing with the powerful and abandons her advocacy for war, you can't help but marvel at the wonder of motherhood. Morgan devotes herself entirely to this fruit, consciously distancing herself from politics and constantly searching through the library in Camelot Palace.
