Bold Erica, the Three's Daily Life / Athena, Trinity

Erica looked at Saber and asked, "So, besides being a comrade-in-arms, what else can you do?"

"I... I..." Saber wanted to refute, but found herself speechless.

Erica, pressing her advantage, suddenly unleashed a powerful aura, staring intently at Saber as she continued, "Furthermore, you don't even qualify as a comrade! As a knight, your duty is to always be by the king's side, ready to offer your strength whenever the king needs you."

"So, have you accomplished all that?" Erica said dismissively. "Judging from what the king just said—that he's not here during the day and only returns at night—you're probably the real 'master,' aren't you?"

"I can learn all of these..." Saber, who had been constantly looked down upon, finally couldn't help but retort.

Hearing this, Erica smoothed her long hair, displaying an acting skill comparable to Nami's, and gave Saber a friendly smile, "Learning isn't something you can do overnight; you need a mentor who's highly skilled in this area to help you! So, I'll teach you!"

"Yes, yes! Please guide me!" Saber nodded earnestly.

'Girl, you've been tricked!'

Seeing Saber's expression, Arthur really wanted to say that, but he dismissed the idea.

Compared to Erica, who has extremely high emotional intelligence and is incredibly cunning, Saber is still a bit too inexperienced.

"My lord, I have something to give you." After successfully luring Saber into her trap, Erica officially became Arthur's second knight. As if remembering something, she suddenly walked to Arthur's side, took a square box from her pocket, and handed it to Arthur, saying, "This is something the commander-in-chief of the 'Copper Black Cross' asked me to give you."

It's something related to "Heretic Gods " --

The commander-in-chief of the "Copper Black Cross" is Erica's uncle, but she didn't say it explicitly, which means what she just said is true.

It was she who pledged allegiance and service to Arthur, not the "Copper Black Cross."

"This aura..." Arthur sensed a familiar aura inside the box and frowned slightly as he took it.

Upon opening the box, one finds a palm-sized obsidian medal, polished to a bright shine, resembling the "Prometheus's Grimoire," and also engraved with the image of Gorgon.

This thing exuded an aura that Arthur seemed to have seen before.

It is the power from Athena —the "Gorgon Stone".

"What is this?" Saber, who had accepted Erica's gift, walked over while eating, carrying the plastic bucket she had brought back. She looked at the "Gorgon Stone" in Arthur's hand and asked with a puffed-up cheek.

"So you're a foodie!" Erica said, looking at her with a hint of realization.

"No... no, I was just replenishing my Mana!" Saber blushed and turned her head away in denial.

Upon hearing this, Arthur couldn't help but roll his eyes.

My Mana (spell power) capacity is enough for you to cast Excalibur more than ten times. Can't you come up with a more reasonable excuse?

However, considering the possibility of a lion in a rage if Saber were exposed, Arthur stopped himself from saying that.

"Your constitution is quite interesting." Erica saw through Saber's lie, but since she needed to maintain a good relationship with this woman, she didn't expose her and instead said with amusement.

"Hmph, I don't want to know anymore." Saber gave a haughty snort, picked up the plastic bucket, and walked towards her room.

Because of Saber's arrival, Arthur has been moved to a double room.

"My lord, this thing is very likely to attract 'Heretic Gods'." After Saber left, Erica sat down on the single sofa next to Arthur and said seriously.

"I did indeed sense a strong divine power on it..." Arthur closed the box, slowly put it in his pocket, picked up his book again, and said calmly, "If this thing really will attract the 'Heretic God,' he will come knocking sooner or later! If this thing is not important to him, then it's just an ornament."

"Whether they come or not, whether they appear or not, it doesn't matter to me! We just need to wait!"

"Your Majesty has such a good attitude; no wonder you're called the 'King of Knights'," Erica said with a smile, standing up and speaking with admiration.

Immediately, she stood up, walked behind Arthur's sofa, and placed her slender, jade-like hands on Arthur's shoulders, skillfully massaging Arthur with just the right amount of pressure.

"That knight lady is such a lovely woman," Erica said, trying to start a conversation while massaging Arthur.

"She's kind of cute in everyday life," Arthur said with a smile, "But in battle, she's a very reliable comrade."

"I truly sensed a chilling fighting spirit emanating from her! Even the King says so, her strength must be immense." Erica nodded earnestly, then said with a bright smile, "In that case, I will serve as Your Majesty's left-hand woman, handling your daily affairs and political negotiations. As for matters requiring military force, she will take care of them! Looking forward to your guidance, Your Majesty!"

Arthur closed the book, enjoying Erica's massage, and asked with interest, "I remember Italy is that idiot Doni's territory, why didn't you choose to be his knight?"

"I will only serve one person in my life, and the one worthy of my loyalty and service must not only meet my requirements in terms of strength and character, but also possess wisdom that can make me submit and an appearance that can captivate me." Erica spoke boldly, almost as a confession, saying, "Of the seven god-slaying kings in the world, only you are qualified to be my master."

"I'm the kind of woman who, once I find something I like and a clear goal, will take action! I'll stop at nothing to achieve it!"

"A very interesting answer!" Arthur nodded and smiled slightly. "Then, please guide me from now on, Second Knight!"

"Please guide me, my master!"

Chapter 347 The Bold Erica, The Daily Life of the Three

Arthur did not return to Naples, but instead stayed in Sardinia.

After crossing over to the sea, they found stable accommodation.

You could say he was a man who spent his entire life wandering.

Wherever he went, that was his home.

If there truly is a 'home' that Arthur acknowledges and feels affection for, perhaps only the small cabin-type sailboat that carried him for over a year, and the "East Starrion" that Franky personally built, can be considered half a home. The only place he has emotionally invested in and considers a 'home' is Elysium, the 'Avalon'.

Upon learning that Arthur would be staying temporarily in Sardinia, Erica, as his second knight, naturally wouldn't allow her master, whom she was loyal to and served, to continue living in a hotel.

So for the next period of time, Arthur and Saber moved into a brand new luxury villa.

In the days that followed, the atmosphere at the villa where Arthur was staying became quite lively.

There's a vague feeling, like being by the sea with a friend in tow.

Saber, who had been scolded by Erica, didn't go out to enjoy the food.

Instead, she began learning from Erica how to do laundry, cook, and take care of Arthur's daily life.

17 Although there were many problems at the beginning, with Erica, a genius, around, she could perfectly solve any kind of trouble.

This made Saber admire her even more, and she studied even harder.

Arthur, served by the two women, began to live a life that was half suffering and half happiness.

The half-suffering was given to me by my apprentice Saber, while the half-happiness was naturally brought about by the all-around genius Erica.

Erica, the daughter of the Blondelli Family, not only possesses the strength to attain the rank of Grand Knight at the age of 16, but is also a prodigy with extremely high emotional intelligence and wisdom, possessing the qualities of a natural leader.

She is also a virtuous and kind woman, capable of managing both social and domestic affairs, a truly capable and supportive wife who can take care of everything, whether in public or at home.

In some ways, she can be described as a combination of Nami, Robin, and Hancock.

With abilities far exceeding those of her peers, a child prodigy, and extremely high emotional intelligence and wisdom, Erica's standards would naturally rise.

She would not be afraid, even when facing "God Slayer" and "Heretic Gods ".

There is no one she can be loyal to!

Those who have earned her loyalty and service will inevitably experience ease of stress and happiness.

The only flaw is probably that she has a too strong personality and is too calculating.

Initially rejected by Arthur, she managed to persuade Arthur to pledge allegiance within minutes by acting as a bridge with Saber, making no secret of her ruthless nature.

For a period of time afterward, in order to gain Arthur's 'favor'...

Erica really put her intelligence to good use.

Temptation is inevitable!

Just as she said, once she has something she likes or a goal that moves her, she will give her heart to it.

She would only submit to one person, and regarded Arthur as the master she would serve and be loyal to from now on.

Erica naturally wanted his favor.

Therefore, we can often see Erica's bold side after Arthur.

At first, to test Arthur's limits, she was just drunk and deliberately dressed provocatively and went into the wrong room. After Arthur reminded her, she seemingly unintentionally but actually deliberately showered him with fan service.

Then, while Arthur was taking a bath, they damaged the water gates in other parts of the villa and broke into Arthur's bathroom.

Through repeated tests and temptations, Saber was led to the two of them dressing up in maid outfits and, under the guise of maids serving their master, openly rubbing Arthur's back.

After that, she used the excuse of being a maid to do things like warming Arthur's bed, washing his clothes, and waking him up by stealing kisses.

This is a daring and provocative fairy.

Just like Nami!

However, Arthur enjoyed it.

A saint is one who is without desires or wants, but Arthur is clearly not one.

If that were the case, he wouldn't have managed to win over Nami and the other two women at the same time.

In his past life, Arthur was a homebody, which caused him to have strong feelings for certain female characters.

This positive feeling will lead him to offer them help within his capabilities.

For example, rescuing Shirahoshi from the threat of Vander Decken IX, and rescuing Sakura Matou with a mix of ulterior motives and good intentions.

There was even an idea of saving Saber, which is why she made her wish to the corrupted Holy Grail.

However, offering help doesn't mean Arthur likes every single person he meets.

Arthur always believed that relationships depended on fate.

If Robin hadn't made up her mind to confess her feelings to him, Arthur and she might not have ended up together.

If Hancock is rejected by Nami and Robin, he will not accept them.

Even if Erica gains Saber's approval, he will not accept her loyalty.

After accepting the offer, Arthur will allow the process to settle over time before making a choice.

This has always been Arthur's approach to handling relationships.

After all, aside from some female protagonists who he found utterly repulsive, Arthur generally had a high regard for female protagonists who were both exceptionally beautiful and capable.

Therefore, Arthur accepts and enjoys all of Erica's daring actions.

In this kind of life, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Arthur had a wonderful month ahead of him.

Although Saber suffered a lot for the first half of the month because of her apprentice S777aber, her experience level increased rapidly under Erica's tutelage.

Even now, Saber's laundry and cooking skills are still so-so, but she can eat some of the dishes.

As for daily life, it's less about enjoyment and more about visual pleasure.

Under Erica's influence, Saber changed into a maid outfit, which Arthur, who was used to her wearing dresses and armor, found quite endearing.

Compared to Saber's progress, Erica also benefited greatly from Arthur, while simultaneously giving Arthur a considerable advantage in return.

From initially offering "benefits" to actively taking action, such as scrubbing his back, massaging him, and stealing kisses to awaken him, she later even boldly used her large breasts as a sponge to massage Arthur 'Arthur back while scrubbing him.

As their relationship gradually deteriorated, Erica became a part of Arthur and Saber's lives.

Saber, in particular, almost regarded Erica as her 'mentor'.

I never expected that the food I made would taste even better than what you get outside.

On this day, Arthur was living his ordinary daily life.

While Erica and Saber were out buying ingredients for dinner, they finished reading all the ancient books that Erica had brought.

The moment he closed the book...

Chapter 348 Athena, the Trinity

"God Slayer, we meet again..."

Just as Arthur closed the last book, a gentle breeze blew by, causing his body to suddenly straighten and tense, and his entire body to be covered in a layer of golden fluorescence.

This is the body's automatic warning, indicating that the presence of a 'natural enemy' is very close.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice reached Arthur's ears.

Suddenly, a young girl appeared before him.
