Go Clean Yourself Up and Find Her

Looking at Rovey was bathed in sunlight and shone like an angel, Gawain couldn't help but feel a sense of holiness and approachability. It was probably this special aura that allowed him to speak his mind from the bottom of his heart.

In a daze, I actually felt a sense of atonement to the gods, and my heart suddenly felt much lighter.

"Now that you've answered all my questions, what about you, Gawain? You must have a lot of things you want to ask me, right?"

This time, it was Rovey's turn to answer Gawain's questions.

"That's right, because so much has happened, I don't even know where to begin asking questions now."

Without denying it, Gawain scratched his head and hesitated for a moment, somewhat embarrassed.

"You want to ask about Artoria outside?"

"Yes, please tell me everything about that king."

Upon hearing Rovey Wei's suggestion, Gawain nodded quickly, his amber eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"Well, that's a long story. In that case... let's walk and talk. You show me around Camelot, and I'll tell you the story along the way."

"No problem!"

Gawain agreed without hesitation.

Although they will inevitably become enemies in the future, at least for now, Gawain has already regarded Rovey as someone to confide in and a very compatible friend.

So without hesitation, we continued our tour of Camelot with Rovey.

Along the way, Gawain, acting as the tour guide, listened to Rovey's stories and introduced the unique areas Rovey encountered.

"That dark, enclosed area is Agravaine's territory, but he's been away for a while, so there's not much to see. The other side is Tristan's territory; the numerous pits and holes there are Braille characters that mean 'I am so sad.'"

"Where is your territory?"

"My territory..."

Gawain pointed in the direction of the city gate; the guard post over there was his home.

As the gatekeeper of Camelot, he had to guard that place every night, so he didn't need territory.

"You've really had a hard time..."

The thought of Gawain having to stand guard at the city gate every day, looking like a security guard, made Rovey want to laugh.

"It's not hard work. Instead of me, hurry up and continue telling the story of Zi-O in the Holy Grail War..." Gawain, who was listening to the story with Gawain interest, urged on.

"Don't rush, don't rush, where was I... right, around the time I pinned Artoria down..."

—Boom!!

A huge beam of light appeared just a few steps away from Rovey.

After the thick smoke dissipated, a huge crater appeared in the spot, almost catching them both off guard, leaving Rovey and Gawain looking at each other in dismay.

"Oh dear, I forgot to tell you, you can't speak ill of the king in Camelot. As the ruler here, the Lion King can see through everything."

"... So, she heard me talking about how she was bullied by the King of Heroes and the King of Conquerors?"

"Um."

"You should have said that sooner..."

Rovey gave Gawain a reproachful look.

"Sorry, sorry, I was so engrossed in listening. And speaking of which, the Lion King really cares about you. At other times, she wouldn't pay any attention to those gossips."

"Then I really should thank her..."

Rovey thought to himself with emotion.

On the other side—

"What?! Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Located in the Lion King's palace, Tristan, kneeling on the ground, lost his usual composure and spoke with a look of astonishment.

"Nature."

The Lion King nodded slightly, his tone remaining calm, as if he were merely recounting a trivial matter.

"He is the one who can reach the ends of the earth with me, the best being to represent the concept of humanity."

"No, it's not that... If it's just a specimen, then we can just arrest it! But you, you really want to marry that stranger? This kind of thing is really, really too much..."

"This is unacceptable!"

Overwhelmed by his emotions, Tristan, who had already gouged out his eyes, miraculously opened them again. Although he still couldn't see anything, his face was filled with astonishment.

"Qing, there's nothing to be surprised about. Since we are soulmates, destined to walk together to the ends of the earth, we were bound to reach this point eventually. Our union will become a new spark for the continuation of humanity, like a wedge between a god and a human."

The Lion King said indifferently.

Then, ignoring Tristan who was still blind but whose eyes were wide open, she rose and stepped down from the throne.

"Alright, Tristan, go and tell him I'll be waiting for him here."

"There is no need for Holy Selection to continue now. After the wedding is completed, I will close the Tower of the End and take him and the collected embers to the end. Then it will all be over."

Without giving Tristan a chance to refute, the Lion King spoke calmly, her tone as a queen allowing no room for doubt.

"Yes..."

Tristan gritted his teeth, then lowered his head and answered.

Chapter 197 Wash yourself clean and go find her

Time: The third day after arriving in Camelot.

It was probably the third day?

As for why it's only "approximately," it's mainly because Rovey's sense of time has become completely messed up.

All of this can be attributed to Gawain.

Because they got along very well and even felt like they had known each other for a long time, Gawain often came to see him whenever he had free time.

This has led to situations where someone closes their eyes only to be woken by the glaring sunlight, and upon getting up, wonders, "Did I sleep for a whole day and night? How did it suddenly become daylight?"

The "Never-Night Blessing" blessing on Gawain is not a true influence on the sunrise and sunset of the sun like a sun god, but rather creates a miniature sun with solar energy above his head, which moves with him.

He was fine staying at the city gate, but now he's started running around everywhere.

Compared to Tristan, whose personality often turns sour, the meticulous Agravaine, and Lancelot, with whom he simply doesn't get along, Gawain genuinely likes his friend Rovey, especially since he can hear stories about the king from him.

Rovey originally thought that by building a good relationship with Gawain and telling him his story, Gawain would quickly return to his post and stop bothering him, allowing him to continue observing the Tower of the End.

But soon, Rovey suddenly realized that he had oversimplified the problem.

For example, right now, Gawain brought a bowl of mashed potatoes to Rovey and said, "Here, Crowley, this is my special mashed potatoes, have a taste."

Rovey, who was sitting at the table drinking porridge, looked at the bowl of dark, lumpy mashed potatoes and immediately lost his appetite.

"..."

He slowly raised his head, looking at the sun overhead, his eyes Gilgamesh Gawain. Rovey couldn't help but ask, "Gawain, is there anything else? It's been two days, and you've been hanging around here every day. What exactly do you want? Even if you're spying on me, you don't need to come here so often, do you?"

Two days have passed since the story of the Holy Grail War was told, along with the ending of Artoria's choices and changes outside.

For the past two days, Gawain followed him almost everywhere he went, and would often cook for him.

What's this all about?

Should we feed them?

Even if you're feeding them, you should at least offer them something of similar quality, right?

What's with eating mashed potatoes three times a day?!

This forced him to find food in Camelot's granary himself.

"Ahem, you're my friend and the chosen one of the Lion King, so of course I have to treat you well." Gawain said with a grin, rubbing his hands together, his attitude appearing very sincere.

"..."

Seeing that this guy seemed to want to say something but hesitated, clearly trying to please him, Rovey's eyes narrowed slightly.

Putting everything else aside, Gawain is indeed an extremely simple and straightforward knight. After just two days together, Rovey had figured out all his habits.

His current appearance clearly indicates that he has something on his mind.

However, the fact that he contacted me meant that the matter must be related to me, but he was too embarrassed to ask me directly, so he was trying to please me, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Fine, just tell me what's on your mind."

After politely declining the bowl of dark mashed potatoes, Rovey glanced at Gawain and said, "There's no need for so much preamble between us. Just say what you want to say."

"Sigh... As expected of my friend, he understands me so well in such a short time."

Seeing that his thoughts had been seen through, Gawain exclaimed with admiration, then continued rubbing his hands together and said with a grin, "Um... actually, I also wanted to ask... how is the king of your world doing after he started his journey? Our last meeting was too brief, and there were so many things I didn't have time to ask."

Upon hearing this, Rovey glanced at him in surprise, then calmly said:

"Didn't I say before? Bedivere went traveling with her, going around the world, leaving the rest of his life to himself. Is there a problem?"

"No, no, that's not what I was asking..."

Gawain glanced at Rovey, hesitated for a moment, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"When we last met, I saw that you and Wang seemed very close. Considering your past story, I know that your relationship with Wang is definitely not ordinary. So... do you two actually... have you...?"

Gawain stretched out his fingers and made a few simple gestures.

"Huh? You want to ask if we've started a family, gotten married, and had children, right?"

Rovey immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes, yes, that's it! I've been thinking about this for the past two days!"

Gawain nodded quickly.

This was his long-cherished wish...

When Gawain learned that the King Arthur he worshipped was actually a woman, his faith did not collapse. Instead, he felt even more guilty and respectful.

At the same time, I really feel sorry for him...

Because of King Arthur's duties, Artoria had to bear the burden and live a life of suffering. So until her death, her heartfelt wish was for her king to find true happiness.

Leaving aside the Lion King for now, when he learned that King Arthur on Rovey's side had actually let go of his past obsessions and started traveling with Bedivere, he was overjoyed! Although he was a little disappointed that the person accompanying him was not him, it was enough that his king was happy.

Recalling the intimate behavior between Rovey and Artoria during their last meeting, Gawain couldn't help but wonder...

He wondered if, in another world, his king had found happiness as a woman, perhaps even starting a family with a friend he had just met...

If things were really as he thought, then Gawain felt that even if he died, it would be worth it.

"Not yet, because she ended up in your world, so we haven't seen each other again over there." Rovey shook his head. "A few days ago at the gates of Camelot, we had what could be considered a reunion after more than a thousand years, but I ended up being captured by the Lion King. Artoria is probably going crazy with worry outside right now."

"As for starting a family, let's at least wait until we go back together before we think about that..."

"Okay then!!"

At that moment, Gawain, the Sun Knight, suddenly felt that his life had hope again.

Regardless of one's own stance, is he or she the king on one's side?

As a seasoned fan of the king, all I need is to hear my king find happiness.

At the same time, he roughly figured out what to do next.

Even if a war were to break out, he would only target the Hassan or fight Kai and his group. He certainly couldn't bring himself to harm the king of the other world, and as for Rovey...

Although swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield, he could not afford to harm the king again and leave another king a widow, so he had no choice but to target the other Knights of the Round Table.

Since you're caught in a dilemma no matter what, you can only try to choose the easier option.

"Alright, that's enough of the conversation, Gawain."

Rovey suddenly spoke up, "Do you know what the Lion King is doing? He said he would summon me in a few days, but why hasn't there been any news? What is he doing?"

"I don't know either... I haven't been to the palace recently. But the Queen did say she wanted to see you, and even Holy Selection has stopped. She must be preparing something, right?"

"... Prepare for what? Are you ready to take this tiny spark and then slink away in disgrace?"
