/ Magic Deity: Godly Choices Chapter 496 – : Lancelot
Finally, someone came looking for him.
It was a month ago. It was raining heavily outside. Suddenly, two people came looking for him.
One was dressed in a red robe, the other in a black robe.
He didn't know the man in the black robe.
But he knew the man in the red robe.
That was their enemy, the higher-ups of the Saxons.
Lancelot had once sparred with him.
He did not expect him to be so bold as to actually dare to come to the central city of the British Starfield.
Seeing that his enemies were all in front of him, Lancelot was very decisive. He immediately pulled out his sword and prepared to finish off the enemy in front of him.
However, he was stopped by the black-robed man.
“What do you mean, Sir?”
Seeing that the black-robed man was blocking in front of the Saxon, Lancelot held his sword horizontally in front of him and raised his vigilance.
“We're here to give you an opportunity, not to cause trouble,” the black-robed man said.
“If we really wanted to assassinate you, it wouldn't be a visit. Why don't we sit down and have a cup of coffee before we talk?”
Hearing their words, Lancelot hesitated for a moment, but he still let them in.
He prepared two cups of coffee for them.
“So, what do you want to do here in the middle of the night?” Lancelot said impolitely.
Anyone who had an enemy sitting in front of them would not be very happy. Giving them a cup of coffee was already a gesture of grace.
“I told you, we're here to give you an opportunity. Hmm, good coffee.”
The black-robed man took a sip of coffee and slowly spoke.
The red-robed Saxon man just quietly drank his coffee and did not say a word.
This was also what he and the black-robed man had discussed.
“Opportunity? We don't even know each other. Where did this opportunity come from?”
“The opportunity is that we can help you become King!”
“The new King of the British Starfield!”
Boom!
Outside, the thunder was deafening, but inside, there was silence.
Lancelot's face was also filled with fear.
He was shocked that the person opposite him actually said such a ridiculous thing.
He was afraid that there was a trace of fear in his heart, and he did not stand up immediately to reject it.
“Nonsense, I am a loyal knight under King Arthur's banner. I can not abandon the honor of a knight. If you are talking nonsense, I will arrest you and bring you to justice.”
Lancelot composed himself and stood up abruptly. He scolded angrily without changing his expression.
“Don't be nervous. Let's talk after we sit down.”
The black-robed man pressed his hand and signaled Lancelot to sit down first.
“You just said that you can't, not that you don't want to. Also, don't you want to know why we can help you become a King?”
Lancelot fell silent. He did not speak and quietly drank his coffee.
Seeing this, the black-robed man chuckled.
“Your current King, Arthur Pendragon, is actually a girl.”
Suddenly, the black-robed man said something that shocked Lancelot.
“How is this possible?”
Seeing Lancelot's incredulous expression, the Saxon person at the side could understand him.
The first time he heard such information, he had the same expression.
No one could believe that the opponent they had fought for a long time and the existence of the King was actually a girl.
“It's true. We have been searching for the reason why King Arthur was so powerful in such a short period of time and coincidentally met the descendants of the maids who survived in the palace back then.”
“Under our interrogation, she revealed this secret, and this truth is very easy to verify.”
Hearing the black-robed man's words, Lancelot fell silent.
If that was really the case, then there was a reasonable explanation for many things in the past.
For example, why the King never had any contact with men.
For example, why he refused to choose a queen for so long.
Lancelot revealed a bitter smile.
He did not expect that he would not find out after such a long time.
Regarding the matter of her disguising as a man, Lancelot could also guess it.
In that environment 30,000 years ago, it was understandable for her to do so. After all, at that time, the starfield was in a life-and-death crisis.
If she did not do so, the starfield might fall apart.
“Even if the King is a girl, her achievements are equally dazzling. It is enough to make up for the flaws of a girl. I will still support her.”
Looking at the two people in front of him, Lancelot felt very disdainful. They actually wanted to sow discord between them. What a fool.
The black-robed man did not get angry. Instead, he said softly in a seductive tone, “Of course, it's understandable for you to do this. However, other people might not necessarily think so when they know this information. Some knights and citizens might directly oppose it.”
“Of course, the most important thing is not this. King Arthur is a girl. Then, wouldn't her Queen live a lonely and melancholy life every day? If that's really the case, that Queen would be too pitiful.”
“Don't you agree, Knight Lancelot?”
“Eh? Why do you look so pale? Is there a problem?” the black-robed man asked with concern, his tone still as gentle as before.
Lancelot clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.
He was sure that this guy in front of him was definitely doing it on purpose.
Since he could investigate the gender of the King, he did not believe that he could not find out that he liked Guinevere.
Although he knew that he was trying to sow discord, once he thought of that scene, he could not calm down.
If King Arthur was a man, then he would have agreed, and Lancelot could console himself that Guinevere had found a good home.
But she was actually a woman, and if she really married Guinevere as a Queen…
That would really be a great harm to Guinevere.
She would be alone in the palace, unable to be a normal girl.
But what could he do?
Either the two of them didn't come tonight, nothing happened, and then Guinevere married the King at the wedding. There was still a risk of exposure.
Or he could go straight to the palace.
And then go to the palace and tell her directly that the King had to cancel the wedding?
Or they could find another person to replace Guinevere?
The former simply did not work. One had to know that the King's wedding had been postponed for a long time and could not be postponed anymore. Moreover, the date and list of the wedding banquet had been announced, and the invitation had also been sent out. It was impossible to cancel it now.
As for finding another person?
It was also very difficult. The identity of the King was very important, so it was the best choice to know everything about his playmates since they were young.
There were two paths that he could not take. For a moment, Lancelot did not know what to do.
He could only take out his red wine and drink it continuously.
“Actually, as long as you promise us that we will let you become a King, it will be enough. This is the simplest way.”
“If you become the King, then you will have the glory and battle achievements of the past as the foundation. The resistance of the people will not be so strong, and the British Starfield will not weaken. You can even directly marry Guinevere and fulfill your wish. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?”
Looking at Lancelot, who was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, the black-robed man shook his head and brought up the opportunity they had mentioned earlier.
