Chapter 98: I want to marry him!
Soon, the entire Main capital was swarmed with reinforced soldiers and knights from the other city.
Every unconscious member of the Red Wings were locked in boxes and sent to the other side of the Island, isolated from the outside world.
Everyone was moved from one city to the other, their family members who had been revived but unconscious were moved to the next city for medical care.
Yukio and Sinex showed up, running from the forest with blood all over their body, they had died protecting Ha Joon.
They both attended to their masters, relieved to see he was still breathing. Discover new worlds on NovelFire-mpyr.
Artoria, being the only warrior left standing amidst the battle, just happened to be one of the lucky people to see Ha Joon bring everyone back to life.
She was speechless, but even more, her heart fluttered as he watched Yukio carrying him on her shoulder— this man, that she had found lost on the battlefield, was now the man performing such feats.
His words, "I will become Camelot's savior."
The promise he made to her, all began to make sense.

The next day came.
And a lot of people had woken up from their deep slumber, and though they were afraid, they were still confused as to how they were alive.
That was until they heard the tale of the Great Messiah; The man who single handley brought back the dead and defeated the Goddess in a single day.
Stories spread wide and far, each person feeling gratitude, some shame, and other deep regret for ever doubting the man who had come into their lives to save it.
Even the roundtable knights were embarrassed of this.
Artoria had ordered Lancelot and Belinda to be locked in cages until Ha Joon wakes up to deliver his punishment, even Ramal was called out, although he commit suicide before the soldiers could get to him.
In half a day, everyone had begun to adjust, the Main capital was kept off limits until the King gave her orders on what was to be done about it.
…..
Artoria sat down on the chair, her hair tied in a ponytail as she sighed. She was dressed in a white sundress that hugged her lustrous shape, her arms rolled with bandages.
She was currently living in one of her castles in Camelot, one that wasn't in the main capital.
"So, how are you feeling now?" Merlin asked as she placed the tray of tea in front of Artoria, "Are you feeling better?".
Artoria looked at Merlin, for someone who had died, Merlin seemed to look even better than the survivors.
"My arms are still a bit numb, but I should be better in a few days." she replied.
"That's good, I'm pretty sure the people want you to make a public appearance." Merlin settled on the chair opposite Artoria, "it's crazy, people are actually calling you the Mighty King Artoria haha, I couldn't help but laugh when I heard it".
Artoria chuckled nervously, "I heard it from the maid this morning, somehow, I guess the people look up to me now".
"I don't blame them, you did clear out an entire army number of people, and you even achieved your Flow state, I didn't think you ever would." Merlin placed her hand on her cheeks, a small moan leaving her mouth, "My dear Artoria has grown so much".
"Yeah." Artoria stared at the tea.
Merlin sighed, "The enemy were strong and smart, they had all of us outplayed, including Ha Joon, so there's no use beating yourself up about it— hell, if the way I see it, the fact our country managed to kill a goddess is amazing… I mean if I get the gist from an-"
"I want to get married…to Ha Joon…"
Merlin was frozen.
"I must still be tired, I could have sworn I heard you say you-"
"I want to wed Ha Joon." Artoria repeated.
"Ahh! So I did hear it right. Why? I mean what led to such a… sudden decision?" Merlin asked, clearly surprised.
"It has always been on my mind, the battle with the Goddess only confirmed it. Ha Joon, he's not like the rest of us, anyone with eyes can tell, he is leagues above the world. He's smart, and able to make decisions calmly, even when he was framed, he didn't harbor any hatred."
She continued,
"Although I have pride in my combat ability, I can say the same from my leadership. After a lot of thinking, I have come to the conclusion that the best course of action would be to make Ha Joon my husband, that way, he can become king and I will be by his side to support him".
Merlin was silent for a good second, before she lowered her head.
"Seriously-" she uttered with a low tone, "You're seriously going to take him from me with that?"
"What?" Artoria jerked back a bit, "I'm not stealing anything!"
"Once you get married to him, is it going to be for political reasons? Or… are you actually planning to love him more than you already have?" Merlin questioned, now looking at Artoria with lifeless eyes.
Artoria's face was flushed, "W..what nonsense are you talking about?! I'm not… m..maybe! I don't know!"
"I see, in that case, it wouldn't be a problem if I become his wife too, right?" Merlin was serious.
"His wife?"
"Yes, I respect you, but I can't allow you to take him all to yourself. Once you get married, and he becomes king, if I am able to convince him to marry me, will that work for you?" She asked again.
Artoria forced out a smile, "S…sure why not? Ha Joon can make decisions, obviously".
"Heheh, thank you Artoria! Or should I say, first wife?" Merlin covered her mouth teasingingly.
