('At night, the guest room was dark. Merlin did not return to the hotel to meet the girl after sunset as he said. Artolia was lying on the simple bed. She looked at the old wooden ceiling.

Listening to the noisy but joyful sounds outside, recall all the things that happened at the celebration today and the people I met.

She didn't expect that in just one afternoon, she would meet so many people who interested her, whether it was two mysterious knights, or Gawain, who appeared later and was very powerful in fighting, or the man who was like a breeze.

The refreshing Bedivere.

Sure enough, as Merlin said, the outside world is infinitely wonderful, and there are all kinds of people. As long as you step out of the manor, you will find that life is much more complicated than you imagined, and sooner or later, you will have to leave Merlin's protection and come into contact with this world.

World, the girl is thinking about whether she will be uncomfortable without Merlin's teaching and guidance in the future? [.z

Smiling to herself, Artolia realized that she was too naive. Could it be that she couldn't survive without Merlin? She was too dependent on Merlin!

, "I don't know if the teacher's work has been completed. Has a new king been born? What kind of person will pull out the holy sword? What does the prophesied king look like?" Artolia looked out the window and thought in her mind.

Countless questions.

The outside world is still very lively. Even though it is already evening, the joyful atmosphere has not diminished, but has become more and more lively. After all, today is not only the king selection ceremony, but also Christmas. The people cheered and laughed into the room. The girl suddenly

I felt a little upset.

The outside world is beautiful, but for some reason Artolia feels that the world outside the window is not suitable for her. Maybe it is because she has used all her "excitement" today" that led her to think this way?

At this time, Artolia thought that she would be sixteen in a few hours. By that time, she would already be an adult. When a knight candidate becomes a knight, these things will leave her, right?

Having said that, don’t knights need rest and daily life? Why do girls struggle with this problem?

A knight must have rest and his own daily life, but Artolia is different from what others think. She is born as a girl, and the chance of becoming a knight is many times lower than that of a normal man. Even if she is powerful in martial arts and knowledgeable, she can

It still can't change the fact that she is a woman.

In this age where boys are valued over girls, "if she wants to fulfill her wish, she has to pay too much, at least several times or dozens of times more than others! Only in this way can she become a woman who will be passed down in history."

knight!

She worked hard to learn and practice, and she worked hard to accumulate knowledge, in order to realize her wish to become the first knight of Britain as a woman. This was her wish that had never changed since she was a child, and she gave everything for this!

,"

"A blurry picture appeared in his mind. Artoria, who was originally in a daze, sat up and frowned. What did she see in her eyes just now? Well, it was very blurry. It should be a person." A person wearing armor and bound by countless iron chains

, a sleeping person kneeling on the ground!

The sudden appearance of the scene made the girl a little concerned. She didn't think it was an illusion or anything else, because at that moment she suddenly felt that something had been forgotten by her, and it was something very important to her, but what exactly was it?

She couldn't say it, but the depressing feeling made her uncomfortable.

Shaking her head, Artolia shook this unhappy mood out of her mind, then lay on the bed again and closed her eyes. Soon she fell into sleep, but her expression changed from relaxed to complicated. As for her

What I am dreaming about, no one knows.

Merlin looked at the sky, then at the two knights who were dueling on horseback. A bored look finally appeared on his fat face. He breathed and said, "Igraine, what do you think about today's program?"

Are you satisfied? Anyway, I enjoyed watching it." He finally said to Igraine beside him.

But the beautiful woman rolled her eyes after hearing what he said, thinking to herself, "Isn't that fat man lying and not drafting a draft? When did you look at them in the eyes all afternoon? Aren't you always looking at Tolia? Are you so embarrassed?

Ask me, look at your bored expression, if you hadn't had to preside over the ceremony here, you would probably have run away..." Although Igrain wanted to say this, she chose silence in the end.

Ignore the fat guy around you.

Merlin didn't care about women's attitudes. He felt that everything should be over, especially this boring farce that he directed. If he continued to play with them, Merlin would really do something bad because he felt bored.

Come to adjust your mood.

, "Today's duel ends here. Since no new king was elected, we will continue tomorrow. Let's enjoy tonight's celebration and have a happy Christmas." Merlin stood up and said loudly, and he made a brief summary.

That ended today's king-selection ceremony, and then he ordered a group of people to carry the Sword in the Stone to a church in London. Finally, this king-selection ceremony, which was almost equal to a farce, ended for the time being.

"Well, it's time for me to go back and prepare. The prophesied king is dreaming in bed right now. Dear queen, will you stay here to participate in the upcoming celebrations, or will you return to the castle?" Merlin turned to Igrai.

Yin said that what should be done has been almost done, and the next step is to go back to find Artolia, and then introduce her into the church to complete everything.

, "I want to stay here, you can go." Igraine looked at Merlin and said, no one knows what this woman, who was called "slut" by all the nobles behind her back, was thinking, she looked at

Looking at everything in front of me, my eyes are full of nostalgia.

, "You can end everything after midnight. As for what to do next, it is entirely up to you, although I have already seen the results. Goodbye Igraine. I hope you have a good time tonight." Merlin said.

He left here completely, and Igraine looked at his back, a sarcastic smile appeared on his beautiful face. No one knew who this smile was mocking. Maybe it was Merlin, maybe Artolia, maybe herself.

.

, "Yes, all this is finally coming to an end." Looking at the people laughing around the bonfire, Igraine said to herself, she had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and she could finally be free...

In the brilliant palace burning with flames, two figures intertwined. When the weapons in their hands collided, they made a crisp sound, just like playing musical instruments, full of rhythm. If anyone saw the two of them fighting, they would definitely think that they were not the same.

Not fighting hard, but like dancing in the fire.

The heat wave completely distorted and blurred the figures of the two people, making it unclear who they were and what they looked like. The only thing that was certain was that one of the two people was wearing silver armor and the other was wearing black armor.

Artolia wanted to approach them, but she seemed to be restrained by some force, unable to move or even make a sound. She could only stand there and watch the fierce battle between the two until the end.

They seemed to be talking about something, but she couldn't hear anything else except the sound of the weapons clashing, as if everything was blocked by some kind of force. The palace collapsed in the fire, and finally the two people

They collided together, and the two people's weapons penetrated each other's bodies at the same time, but the two of them looked like lovers embracing each other, without any killing intent.

"sorry……"

"Thank you..."

The two of them were buried by the burning palace at the same time. There were only five words at the end, but these five words were clearly heard by Artolia, but she still couldn't tell who said it.

Vision enters darkness...,

Opening her eyes, Artolia stared blankly at the sky, and then sat up suddenly. Her mind was in chaos. What did she see just now? Well, the flames were only red flames. As for the others, they were completely different.

no impression.

The girl tried to remember, she felt that this dream was foreshadowing something, because Merlin told her that dreams can sometimes guide a person's direction, so don't ignore those dreams that make you care.

At this time, Artolia really cared about the vague dream just now, but for some reason, no matter how she recalled it, all she could remember was a sea of ​​fire and the words "Thank you." Just when Artolia was at a loss, the door suddenly opened.

There was a knock, and Merlin's familiar voice came: "Toliya, are you awake?"

The girl was awakened by Merlin's voice. She immediately jumped out of bed and ran to the door and took two deep breaths. She suppressed all the confusion in her heart. At this moment, she didn't know why she didn't want to tell Merlin this dream. As for the reason, she herself

I can't understand either.

Opening the door, Artolia saw Merlin's familiar fat face with a gentle smile. For some reason, she suddenly relaxed after seeing him: "Teacher, are your work over?" Forget it, it was just a dream.

That's all, there's no need to tell the teacher, well, it's just a dream. Merlin looked at the girl, an unknown smile appeared on his fat face, he touched the girl's head and said: "Happy birthday Tolia, well, I've prepared it for you.

I hope you like this birthday gift, but before that you should take a bath and change into the clothes I prepared for you, and then how about we set off?"

"Gift?" Artolia was stunned at first, and then a little excited. This should be Merlin's first birthday gift to her, right?

, "Yes, these are new clothes prepared for you. I have asked the shopkeeper to prepare hot water for you. We will set off after you take a bath. This time the gift I prepared for you is full of surprises. You

You will definitely like it!”…
