Chapter 520: Abdicated
“Citizens of the British Starfield, I am your King, Arthur Pendragon. We are gathered here today to celebrate the fact that after 30,000 years of battle and the blood of countless ancestors, we have finally taken back all of our territories. We stand up, and no longer need to be mocked.”
“King Arthur!”
“King Arthur!”
“King Arthur!”
After hearing the exciting beginning of Artoria, the people in the square began to get excited again.
Then, she waved her hand, and the square immediately quieted down.
“According to the original procedure, Next, I will take you to review your experiences in the past 30,000 years, and then I will start my wedding. Everyone will then start eating wedding candies.”
Artoria shrugged.
After hearing the king’s teasing, the people laughed kindly.
“However, some changes happened a while ago, so I had to change the procedure. Next, I will announce a few decisions.”
With a change of tone, Artoria became serious.
Although the people in the square did not know what had happened a while ago, they had a feeling that King Arthur’s next decision would be very important.
Su Han also came to the scene today.
However, he did not squeeze to the front. Instead, he found a spot on the periphery of the square.
With his strength, he could see everything on the podium.
He was also very curious about what kind of decision Artoria would make next.
“The first decision, I will announce my abdication!”
After taking a deep breath, Artoria made her first decision.
She knew how much of a commotion her decision would cause.
As expected, when she said this, the square fell silent, and the people froze on the spot.
They did not expect the king’s first decision to be so explosive.
After that, there was an explosive discussion.
“Why? The king did a good job. Why did he suddenly abdicate?”
“Yes, everyone has seen the king’s achievements. No one can deny him.”
“Yes, I can’t think of anyone else who can inherit the throne.”
“It’s only been 30,000 years. The king’s time is too short.”
All the people were very puzzled by Artoria’s decision. Normally, a king would reign for more than 100,000 years, but Artoria had given up after only 30,000 years.
Su Han did not expect her to make such a decision, but he could understand her.
After experiencing so many changes, she wanted to have a good rest.
On the other hand, the expressions of the Deadwood Godly Monarch and the Green Leaf Godly Monarch did not change. It was obvious that they had known for a long time.
“Quiet!”
Following Artoria’s shout, the entire square became quiet again.
“I know that everyone is very confused, so I will give you my reason next.”
“First of all, according to the common sense in the universe, under normal circumstances, a king would reign for around 100,000 years, but that is under normal circumstances. There wouldn’t be too many wars, and there wouldn’t be too many disturbances. It would just be a very normal king’s life, but I’m different.”
“Everyone knows that the year I took over the throne was when the British Starfield was invaded. At that time, half of the territory was occupied by the Saxons. At that critical moment, I accepted the throne and took on this heavy burden.”
“After that, there were 30,000 years of battles without sleep or rest. Day and night, I had to think about what I should do to drive out all the enemies and how I could achieve victory in every war.”
“In 30,000 years, I had fought with many people, but there were less than 10 people left. I lost my parents, my loyal subordinates, my 100 Knights, and the people who loved me.”
As she said this, a girl in the crowd stared at her without blinking. For some reason, she felt that it was her.
This time, she had come here with her parents to attend the ceremony, but she did not expect to hear such shocking news.
But she did not have time to think about it, so she listened patiently.
“I inherited all of you at the age of 18, and after 30,000 years of struggle, I have regained all of our territories. I can proudly say that I am worthy of my father, the people, and the entire British Starfield.”
“I have experienced 30,000 years. Other kings might not have experienced this many times in the past 100,000 years, so I am really tired. I need to rest, my people.”
Hearing the sincere words of Artoria, the people below also fell silent.
In the 30,000 years of war, they had suffered a lot of casualties. More or less, there were relatives who had died on the battlefield.
However, at this moment, they realized that their king had been under immense pressure.
At that time, he was only 18 years old, but he had already inherited this starfield that had almost been destroyed.
Thinking of this, they could not help but feel great respect for their king.
“King Arthur!”
“King Arthur!”
“King Arthur!”
…
The entire hall had been chanting the king’s name, as if this was the only way for them to express their gratitude to the king.
This cheer lasted for a long time before it gradually quieted down.
“This is the first reason. I want to rest.”
Artoria smiled and continued.
“The second reason is…”
Saying this, she directly spread her hair.
“Actually, I have always been a girl.”
Seeing the awe-inspiring King Arthur on the podium, his long hair suddenly fluttered and he turned into a girl.
The people in the square were shocked again. This time, it was no less than when they knew that the king was going to abdicate.
They never thought that their king was actually a girl.
It was too unbelievable.
Seeing this silent scene, Su Han smiled very happily. He had been looking forward to this scene.
‘So she’s a girl,’ Guinevere thought to herself.
“The reason why I disguised myself as a man was because I had no choice.”
“It was because the environment at that time was no longer suitable for choosing a king. There was no time for that. Later on, I had to work hard to regain our territory and had no time to choose a king. But now that I’ve regained my territory, there are no external enemies anymore… I can finally say openly that I’m a girl and let go of my responsibilities as a king.”
At this moment, Artoria was really relaxed. She finally spoke her mind and did not have to keep it in her heart anymore.
God knows how she had survived the past 30,000 years.
Not only did she have to face the pressure of external enemies, but she also had to worry that someone inside would discover her true identity and cause unrest.
But now, she did not have to worry anymore.
The external enemies had already fought back.
She didn’t want the throne anymore, so it wasn’t a big deal to reveal her identity.
Seeing the relieved smile on the king’s face, the people in the square felt very complicated.
Because everything that had happened today was out of their expectations.
