The Troubles of the Holy Maiden [Comprehensive]

For King Arthur's coronation ceremony, the entire city of Camelot fell into busy preparations.

The coronation of the king this time means the transfer of the political center of the whole of Britain, and the preparation work is very heavy.Camelot was just a city under the name of a prince and lord before, and the construction and functions that many countries should have were not complete.For this coronation and moving the capital, ministers, soldiers, craftsmen and even ordinary citizens took action.But no matter how fast the action is, in order to show solemnity, the coronation ceremony will have to wait until a few months later.

Arturia has taken over most of Camelot's government affairs little by little, and Fran only does some auxiliary work to help her see what she has missed.In addition, Merlin has already dealt with the affairs of Rondiniam and returned to Camelot.With the help of Merlin, the king's teacher, Camelot's transformation and transition proceeded in an orderly manner.

On this day, under the clear sky in the afternoon, Fran and Merlin were sitting in the sun room drinking afternoon tea, discussing their latest magical ideas and research results.Merlin's magical attainments are extremely high, but his expression has always been very strange, making Fran almost unable to hold the teacup firmly.I have to say that Fran and Merlin get along very comfortably. Although this person has a vicious tongue and is not serious, he is indeed of a very high standard in his field. He is open-minded and full of whimsical ideas. Opening up different ideas, the two can be said to be like-minded in the direction of magic and incantations.

While discussing her newly conceived method of breaking the curse with Merlin, Artoria strode in, and couldn't help being stunned when she saw Merlin. The sun room is where Fran often stays in her free time, but Artoria didn't Thinking that Merlin was there too.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two turned their heads in tacit understanding at the same time, and looked at Artoria with a smile, but Artoria felt that this scene was extremely dazzling.She held back her emotions and walked over to the two of them.

Artoria looked at Merlin first, and said with a smile: "Mr. Merlin, you are here. Lancelot is looking for you, it seems that there is something important."

When Merlin heard this, he took a deep look at Artoria, and replied with a smile: "Well, what can he do with me? Stop nagging me again. I haven't done anything strange recently. What about it! Well, forget it, I'll go and see him!" Merlin stood up, said goodbye to the two, then turned and left.

Seeing Merlin leave, Fran looked at Arturia and said, "Tell me, what are you going to talk to me about alone, and you even dismissed Merlin."

Artoria still smiled: "I really can't hide anything from you!"

Fran pulled Artoria to sit aside, and tapped her forehead: "Do you think Merlin didn't see it? He's doing this to save face for your beloved student. If it was someone else, he would have gone over it."

Artoria sat down obediently, and said in a vague way, "Fran knows Merlin very well, too!"

Fran thought for a while and said, "Merlin, I actually don't know much about him. He is a person with a very unstable personality. His special bloodline makes him see things from a special perspective. His behavior patterns and thoughts are the most important. Unpredictable. He has always been like that in front of you, but he wants you to think that’s all. This is a very dangerous character. However, for now, you can trust him, don’t hesitate, he will do his best to help your."

Arturia nodded, indicating that she understood.

Fran then asked, "So what about you? Have you finished your business today?"

Arturia was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Today, the ministers asked me something."

"They wanted me to be able to name a queen at the coronation."

Fran was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and asked, "But, what about your identity if you become a queen? It's fine to refuse this kind of thing, and they can still manage the king's private life?"

Arturia shook her head, and continued: "It's not that simple, their attitude is very firm, and the reasons are very good, so it's hard for me to refuse."

Fran frowned, and asked, "There is no reason to refuse, who is the queen they proposed?"

Artoria didn't speak, just looked at Fran quietly, and Fran suddenly realized with this expression: "They want you to marry Guinevere!" She paused, and then said: "Their consideration is not wrong, if you want Wanting to take over Camelot and marrying Guinevere is good for you and this country no matter what. But." Fran said with some hesitation: "I still hope you can refuse and announce when the situation is more stable. Your true identity, you can’t pretend to be a man all your life! Although the identity of Queen Guinevere can cover you up, once you reveal your identity in the future, this matter will become you deceiving the public and harming you prestige."

Arturia still shook her head, and continued, "I won't reveal my identity. I am King Arthur, and I will be it all my life. I owe this to my brother."

Fran felt a little helpless, but there was no way to persuade this kind of thing, the only way to truly let go was to let go.If this made Arturia feel better, she had nothing to say.

Fran then sighed, "So, what do you want to do?"

Arturia held Fran's hand and looked at her seriously: "Fran, I want to ask you to be my queen."

Fran was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "I know, Guinevere will become the queen, and I will make an alchemy puppet and put it in the palace as Guinevere."

Artoria grabbed Fran's hand and repeated: "I mean you! Fran, I hope you can stay by my side and be my queen!"

Fran looked at Artoria with a complicated expression. She pulled out her hand and said lightly: "Artoria, you depend on me too much. You are a king. This is not good for you or me. Greg Niviel can become your queen, but maybe we should keep a distance, only when I leave can you truly grow up. After your coronation ceremony, I will leave Camelot."

Arturia's face turned pale all of a sudden, she looked at Fran, and said loudly, somewhat uncontrollably: "Fran, are you going to abandon me too?"

Fran's face softened a little, and she said slowly: "I don't want to abandon you, I just leave your side temporarily, we should keep a distance, this is good for you and me. But if you encounter difficulties, I'll be back anytime you need me."

Arturia's face was still pale, she grabbed Fran's sleeve tightly and said, "But I need you right now!"

Fran looked at Artoria helplessly. The child seemed to have grown up, but in fact he still hadn't grown up. "Al, don't be like this. You have to learn to be independent. No one can accompany you for the rest of your life. Some roads have to be walked by yourself, and your heart must be strong."

Artoria was not comforted at all. Thinking of the previous scene, she couldn't control herself and asked Fran loudly: "You lied to me! You are going to Avalon with Merlin, right? Avalon is isolated from the world. , I can’t find you at all! You’re going to leave me, and you’re going to leave me too, right?”

Fran looked at the excited Arturia and was speechless. She didn't know what to say. She felt that Artoria had a problem with her mentality and wanted her to calm down, so she scolded: "Artoria, you Calm down! Look at what you look like now!"

Arturia took two steps back tremblingly, her expression pale and frightening, she suddenly stroked the Command Seal on the back of her right hand with her left hand, and said loudly: "In the name of the Command Seal, Fran, I order you to be my queen!" On the ground, the complicated patterns glowed red, and then disappeared.

An invisible force instantly entangled Fran's spiritual body, forming a contract.Fran didn't expect that Artoria actually used the Command Seal in order to keep her!

It's just a command spell. Fulan is a top mage, it's not that she can't defy the command spell, but she doesn't think it's necessary.Originally, she thought that although Artoria lost her parents and brothers when she was young, and was burdened with the hatred of the country and the family, she had grown up healthily these years.Unexpectedly, Artoria's psychological problems were not small.Fran didn't have the power to resist the Command Seal, but just looked at Artoria coldly, to see what she was thinking.

Seeing Fran's indifferent eyes, Artoria turned even paler. She trembled her lips and said in a pleading tone: "At least, please attend the coronation ceremony in person, I beg you..."

Looking at Artoria's pale face, Fran still couldn't help herself. She closed her eyes and said softly, "Okay, as you wish."

The news that Miss Guinevere would become queen spread throughout Camelot City in a short period of time, and everyone in the Knights was the first to know about it.Most of these knights had loyal to Camelot and Artoria very early on, and they were also familiar with Guinevere, so they were happy to see the success of their affairs and full of blessings.And some knights couldn't help frowning when they heard the news.

Gao Wen, who was still training with the Knights, couldn't help complaining: "Huh? My little uncle is only 20 years old, and he wants to marry a lady who is so much older than him."

The knight on the side disagreed and said, "Although Miss Guinevere is a bit older than Your Highness, she is still young and beautiful, with amazing charm. Moreover, Miss Guinevere is of noble birth, kind and intelligent, and has a good personality. We all admire her." Miss, don't talk nonsense."

The young and energetic Gao Wen was even more dissatisfied: "What, with my uncle's background, he should marry a princess no matter what. Now marrying Miss Guinevere is not just to repay the kindness of my adoptive father."

The other knight refused to accept, and confronted Gawain again.

Amidst the clamor of these knights, Lancelot frowned, turned and left the training ground, looking for Artoria.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Al!" Lancelot found Artoria in the study, who was handling official business.

Artoria looked up from the official document and saw that Lancelot's face was not looking good, so she waved her hand to tell all the attendants around her to leave.She put away her pen, looked at Lancelot and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lancelot still frowned and said, "I heard that you are going to marry Miss Guinevere as queen."

Arturia nodded: "That's right."

When Lancelot saw Artoria admit it, he took a breath, calmed down and said, "Your Highness, I hope you will consider this matter carefully."

Artoria asked puzzledly: "What are you thinking about? I've already thought about it."

Lancelot looked deeply at Artoria, and said, "Your Highness, Al, you should understand your situation. Miss Fran is kind to us, you shouldn't do this."

Artoria raised her eyebrows and replied, "It is precisely because I admire her that I marry her as the queen of the kingdom."

Lancelot couldn't help it when he heard Artoria's Tai Chi: "Artoria! You can't be so selfish! Miss Fran is a good girl, she has the right to choose a husband, you can't use her to Your connivance forced her to stay by your side! Just to stabilize your status and rights!"

When Artoria heard Lancelot say this, she stood up angrily: "Lancelot, pay attention to your wording! What do you mean, Fran doesn't choose me, who does she choose? You Is it? Or Merlin?"

Lancelot was told a stalk, and he didn't know what to pick up.

And Artoria also calmed down, she looked at Lancelot, and said lightly: "Besides, didn't you tell me that Fran was planning to travel to Avalon with Merlin? Now that she is staying, don't you Are you happy, Lancelot?"

Lancelot was silent. After a while, he asked hoarsely, "Tell me, did she do it voluntarily?"

Arturia raised her eyebrows and responded, "Of course!"

Hearing Artoria's affirmation, Lancelot sighed: "Then, I was the one to be rude, please forgive me and leave." After speaking, he turned and planned to leave.

"Wait!" Artoria suddenly stopped Lancelot, and said in his calm eyes: "Since you are so worried about Fran, then I accept you as the queen's guardian knight, and you must protect her well." , don't let her get hurt."

Lancelot was a little surprised by this appointment. With Fran's powerful magic power, she didn't need her own protection at all.But he still answered Artoria coldly: "I understand, even if you don't say that, I will do my best to protect her."

Artoria watched Lancelot's leaving back silently, and thought silently in her heart: "Lancelot, you are the one who is the most confused about the situation. You don't understand anything at all..."

-

On the other side, Merlin also found Fran. He was still smiling, but his eyes were serious: "Are you serious? Marry Artoria and be her queen?"

Fran looked at Merlin calmly, and replied, "Artoria needs me to be queen, and I will respond to her request."

Hearing this answer, Merlin patted his hair a little anxiously, and asked, "Are you sure you want to keep guarding her like this? You don't need to sacrifice for her like this, it's not necessary! It's not necessary!"

Fran smiled and comforted Merlin: "Okay, it's not a big deal, Artoria asked me to attend the coronation ceremony in person, and after the ceremony, I will make an alchemy golem to replace Queen Guinevere in the coronation ceremony." Here, then I will be free. Just come back when Artoria needs me." She pursed her lips, and then said: "I think it is better for me to separate from Artoria for a while, she is now , the mentality is a bit strange. Well, well, it’s okay, time will smooth everything out and teach people to grow, maybe it’s a good thing for me to let go.”

Then, Fran asked Merlin with a smile: "What about you? King Arthur's teacher, in your script, you still have to assist Al?"

Merlin smiled heartlessly and replied: "Yes, yes, my mission has not been completed yet! I want to assist Al to become a great monarch!"

After hearing this, Fran felt inexplicably relieved. She said, "Then I can rest assured. With your help, I think there will be no problems. She can also become the person she wants to be!"

Merlin smiled and continued: "But you don't have to forget about traveling. You promised me that you would go to Avalon with me. When I finish my mission, don't run away without a trace."

Fran replied relaxedly: "No problem, even if you can't find me, just wait for me in Avalon, and I will find you by myself. Even if it is an ideal land that is isolated forever, if I want to go, I must I can find my way too."

Merlin slumped his shoulders and said, "Really, are you reliable? Forget it, wait a minute, this is for you." Then, Merlin took out a small compass from his pocket and handed it to Fran.

Fran played with it curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Merlin explained complacently: "This is the compass that makes all wishes come true. Hold it, and it will point to what you want most in your heart. If you can't find Avalon, read it hard in your heart, if you really want Go, it will help you find your way."

Fran's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Is it so magical? Then show me a demonstration."

Merlin avoided Fran's hand offering her the compass, and said, "I won't try, I won't let you know what I want! Try it yourself!"

Fran opened the compass and put it flat in her hand, only to see that the compass did not point north, but turned in circles.

Fran looked at Merlin suspiciously: "What's going on? It can't be bad, right?"

Merlin scratched his head and said, "In this case, either what you want is not available in this world, or you are not sure what you want. Now, which one are you?"

Fran snapped the compass shut, put it in her sleeve, and said, "Okay, thank you for the compass, I will go to Avalon to visit your mage tower."

"Then, it's a deal~"

"Well, it's agreed."
