The Troubles of the Holy Maiden [Comprehensive]

King Arthur led the army to triumph, and the years-long Northern War finally came to an end.

In the city of Camelot, people took to the streets one after another, cheering, screaming, hugging, and crying bitterly.

The citizens cheered for the victory and the coming peace, sang the great achievements of King Arthur, hugged each other while weeping and kissed each other's cheeks, and ran to spread the news of victory to all places.

These twelve large and small battles mean not only the glory of victory, but also tears, sorrow, parting and pain to most ordinary people.For the victory of the country, in order to protect their homes and land, a steady stream of young and middle-aged people rushed to the front line with faith and blessings, and were sent back to the remains in a steady stream.During these years, some lost their sons, some lost their husbands, and some lost their fathers.The pain caused by the war cannot be wiped away by the joy of victory. Perhaps, the only thing that can heal this wound is time...

Fran stood on the high tower of the castle, watching the team returning from the expedition from a distance, watching them advance like dividing the sea.

'After this time, Britain will settle down. '

'Well, maybe the time has come. '

"What exactly are you trying to say?" The majestic King Arthur sat on a high throne and asked expressionlessly.

At that time, Arturia had just returned to the palace, and she was notified about dealing with the post-war affairs, and two young members of the Knights had something important to report.

When the attendants brought the two knights up, Artoria recognized them, but she became even more puzzled.These two were new members of the Knights who had just joined the Knights. They were still very young, so they were not allowed to participate in the war during the Northern War, and they were left in Camelot to train and defend the city.

One of them was also Artoria's nephew, Gawain's younger brother, Agguvin, whom Artoria knew very well.The other one should be Mordred, a new star who just joined the Knights. He is the only one in the whole group who is used to wearing a mask at all times. Although he has a weird and arrogant personality, he is indeed outstanding.

'How did the two of them get together?Did something happen to Camelot? '

The two came to meet King Arthur together, but became silent when they arrived in front of King Arthur.Agguiwen raised his head several times, as if he wanted to say something, then swallowed it down, and lowered his head again.

Finally, when Arturia was getting impatient, Mordred spoke:

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and please stand back from your majesty."

Hearing this, Artoria glanced at Lancelot who was waiting to report to her, and said, "It's okay, just tell me."

The two looked at each other, but still didn't speak.

Seeing this situation, Lancelot took the initiative to say: "I just remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with by the defenders. I will report the situation to His Majesty after I have dealt with it. I will take my leave now." After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly. With a bow, he left the hall.

Arturia looked at the two of them again, and said in a flat tone, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Agguiwen was still a little silent, so Mordred pushed him lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, Agguiwen discovered something and must report it to you."

With Mordred's urging, Agravin seemed to have finally mustered up his courage. He looked up at King Arthur who was sitting upright, and raised his voice slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, I have discovered that Sir Lancelot has an affair with Her Majesty the Queen!"

Hearing such words, Artoria frowned deeply, she paused for a while, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Aguewen said with some hesitation: "I, I want to go to the garden of the palace to pick some roses for my sister. I see, Sir Lancelot and Her Majesty the Queen are there. The Queen is leaning on the chair, Lancelot Sir was there before her, kissed, kissed the queen's hand."

Mordred continued Aggressive's words and said: "Your Majesty, Sir Lancelot has gone too far. He has been acting indiscreetly all these years, and he can't explain it clearly to those noble ladies and ladies. Now, he is taking advantage of His Majesty's absence. Camelot seduces the queen. Her Majesty the Queen doesn't even care about His Majesty at the front line..."

"Enough!" Arturia snapped.

The two young men were taken aback by King Arthur's stern shout.

Artoria's face returned to calm, and she said to the two in a flat tone: "I trust the queen and Sir Lancelot, this matter ends here."

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

When the two teenagers left the hall, Agguiwen frowned and said with a frustrated face, "Am I hated by His Majesty? I think that I, as a knight, would spread such silly gossip."

Mordred heard his words, and retorted: "As the king's knights, we should be more loyal to the king, and we can't see the king being deceived. You didn't lie, you did see it, didn't you?"

Agguiwen was even more frustrated: "But Your Majesty doesn't believe what I said!"

Mordred thought for a while and said thoughtfully, "That's because you are the only one who saw it. What if many people saw it?"

Agguiwen: "How could many people see it? At that time, there was only the queen in the garden, Lancelot and me. Where did the fourth person come from?"

Mordred looked at Agguiwen: "Let's find some people to join us. As long as they really have an affair, they will definitely have a tryst again. When the time comes, we will rush up and catch them!"

Ageguiwen hesitated: "Is this good?"

Mordred stared at him: "Do you want to be treated as a villain by the king? Or would you rather the king be kept in the dark by those two people and still be wise and safe?"

Agguiwen thought for a while, then nodded, expressing his agreement.

On a sunny afternoon, Fran dismissed the maid as usual, and sat alone in the small garden reading a book and basking in the sun.

After a while, a familiar sound of footsteps reached Fran's ears.

Fran raised her eyes, and it turned out that Lancelot was walking this way.

Fran closed the book and said hello with a smile: "It's you, why are you here, aren't you busy with military affairs?"

Lancelot was taken aback, and asked a little strangely: "Didn't your maid tell me to come to you?"

Fran was also taken aback, and wanted to stand up from the rattan chair, but just as she was about to straighten up, she felt dizzy for a while, and she couldn't help dragging her back.

Lancelot was startled, and raised his hand to help him forward.

As soon as Fran stood firm, a dozen knights ran out of the shadow of the garden.

"Lancelot! You really have an affair with the queen! Are you worthy of the king?" A masked young knight shouted loudly.

Lancelot frowned, and retorted: "Modred, what nonsense are you talking about? I just helped Her Majesty the Queen."

The young man named Mordred smiled contemptuously: "It's nothing, we met in a garden without a maid, and they said it was not a tryst! Don't try to deny it, we have seen it all. There is also Agguwen." Modred Red tugged at the young man next to him, and continued, "Aggrevan saw you kissing the queen here."

Lancelot turned pale, as if he was too angry to speak, and pressed his hand tightly on the saber at his waist.

Fran realized something was wrong when Lancelot uttered the first sentence, but now this situation is really true, which makes people laugh and cry. She never thought that such a bloody plot in a third-rate novel would happen to her.What are they doing, to catch themselves, the titular queen, as a traitor?

Fran looked at these knights, and said, "Lancelot and I have nothing. It was an accident just now, and you misunderstood. If you want to complain to the king, go ahead. But," she looked at Maud Reid: "If I remember correctly, your knights have training today. If you escaped training and went to the palace to do this kind of thing, you may have to explain it to your instructor first."

More than a dozen knights left in despair, but Fran knew that this matter would not end so easily.

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

Within a few days, as Fran expected, scandals about Sir Lancelot and the Queen began to spread in the capital.

Embarrassed, Lancelot comes to Fran, wanting to explain to her.

Fran shook her head slightly when she heard Lancelot angrily berate the villain.

"Lancelot, regarding this matter, do you think it's as simple as a few villains ruining our reputation?"

Looking at Lancelot's confused face, Fran sighed: "Lancelot, you are a powerful warrior and an excellent military leader, but your political sensitivity is still a bit weak."

"It's no longer necessary to investigate how this happened, but it's not something that can be fermented to this extent in a short period of time."

"Lancelot, this is not a palace scandal, but a political game."

Fran looked at Lancelot and explained: "I am the niece of the former lord of Camelot, and you are the elder who followed Al before she was crowned. Now I am the queen, and you are the most trusted and respected military officer by King Arthur." Member, Chief Knight of the Order. You and I stand in the way of too many people."

"So, this matter is actually a struggle between the veteran faction and the upstart faction. After the Northern War, many forces were reshuffled, and power was also facing a redistribution. The upstart faction wanted more resources and rights. The purpose is to get rid of you and me, the two important figures of the veteran faction. My reputation is stained, and the noble girl of the new noble faction can replace me as queen and give birth to an heir who is inclined to them. Get rid of you, and other knights can Get up and take control of the military."

"For this country that has ended the war and returned to stability, and King Arthur's prestige is at its peak, the existence of you and me is no longer necessary."

Lancelot turned pale when he heard this, and his lips couldn't help trembling. Fran tore open the darkest side of the kingdom to him, which made him feel chills.

After a while, Lancelot asked with difficulty: "Al, do you know?"

Fran sighed faintly: "So what if she doesn't know? She is too noble and upright. She has courage but lacks means. She is incapable of controlling the whole situation, and I can't help her in this situation."

Fran then shook her head lightly: "Now, she has to face it by herself. I won't help her, and neither will Merlin. It's not easy to be a king. What you get comes with a price. It can break the game for her." Only herself. Either, she will be emptied by her subjects, or she will become the king who truly dominates the destiny of the country."

Fran turned her head to look out the window, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Just wait, there will be results in a short time."

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

A few days later, news came from the royal city that King Arthur would have a life-and-death duel with the chief knight Lancelot in seven days.
