"Are you finally going to kill me?"
Sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her smooth hair while watching the Little Erha behind her transform into human form for the first time through the mirror, Guinevere knew that this man was about to make his move on her.
She had long understood this point. After all, she had directed far too many things, and this man was determined to die, so he would definitely keep the truth hidden to the end. Therefore, she, as someone who knew the truth, was a major hidden danger and had to be eliminated.
Knowing this was one thing, but actually seeing that man take action still left me feeling incredibly disappointed.
That's right, there was only disappointment, not anger or hatred.
After more than a thousand years of living and working together, I still can't beat that stupid woman Arthur!
"I don't need your life!"
Wang Hao, now back in human form (the husky version of himself), said indifferently, "I really have no intention of killing this girl."
Putting aside the fact that they had lived together for over a thousand years, which might seem a bit pretentious, his own integrity wouldn't allow him to do something like discarding a used tool after it has served its purpose.
"Hmph! Modifying my consciousness is no different from killing me."
Guinevere was furious. She knew perfectly well that this man wasn't the kind of heartless person. He had said that as long as she cooperated in fooling that silly, adorable woman Arthur, he wouldn't harm her.
But not taking lives is one thing, modifying one's own thoughts and consciousness is another, and this is also a means of maintaining secrecy.
In her view, however, thought and consciousness are the true core of a person; if thought and consciousness are altered, then that person becomes a completely different person.
This is even more despicable than outright murder!
Wang Hao remained silent, but his expression remained cold and resolute.
Having learned his lesson from the incident with Snake Princess One Piece World, he would not allow any hidden dangers to remain. Otherwise, when he was about to fight against Heavenly Mandate, Ahoge King no cover of Cause and Effect.
That would be a huge rip-off!
He didn't believe Heavenly Mandate would give him a second chance to make amends, so he had to be absolutely certain before the final battle. That meant he had to give Guinevere a good talking-to.
"I'll ask you one last time, Lancelot, have you ever loved me all these years? Not even the slightest bit!"
Staring intently into the man's eyes through the mirror, Guinevere asked the same question she had asked over a thousand years ago.
She admitted that she had ultimately lost to that foolish woman Arthur, but she didn't want to lose everything; even getting back a little bit would be good.
Unfortunately, the result disappointed her; Wang Hao gave the same answer as he had given over a thousand years ago.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you!"
He spoke apologetically, but inside Wang Hao was completely bewildered and really wanted to complain.
Girl, you're just a tool to help me complete system tasks, don't get too carried away!
This puts me in a very difficult position!
You bastard!
Guinevere cried, smashing the jade comb in her hand against the mirror, tearing it to pieces. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly; it was a heartbreaking sight that would move anyone who heard it to tears.
Unfortunately, what Wang Hao didn't see was that a pair of beautiful eyes, hidden beneath her hands, were flashing with a sinister light.
"Damn it, since you treat me like this, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Is it finally going to end?
Looking at the Scourge Legion retreating steadily from the Dark Portal, or the Vortex Portal, Lancelot, the second Heroic Spirit, sighed in relief. This miserable life was finally coming to an end.
For over a thousand years, they had lived a miserable life, completely manipulated by that perverted guy, and even had to turn around and fight against their former comrades.
This inner torment is truly unbearable.
But thankfully, it's finally coming to an end.
"Yes, it's over!"
Having completely relinquished control of his Burning Legion, Lancelot, the first Heroic Spirit, lazily stretched, looking equally relieved.
Although his relationship with King Arthur was not good because he served a man, the fighting over a thousand years had left him physically and mentally exhausted, and his mind was constantly tormented.
But thankfully, he is also about to find release and end.
"What kind of ending do you think that pervert will give us? Will he come and kill us outright, or will he let the King bring his men to kill us himself? Or will it be some other ending?"
Relaxed, the second Heroic Spirit Lancelot, pondered a rather perplexing question: they were genuinely curious about their ultimate fate.
Based on what we know about that perverted guy, and knowing so many secrets, we knew he wouldn't let us go; in other words, we were doomed.
However, there are many ways to die; it's just that we don't know which one it will be.
"You'll find out your fate at the very end."
A detached voice sounded behind them, startling the two Heroic Spirit Lancelot, who shuddered.
"What's going on? Don't you know that scaring someone can be deadly?"
The second Heroic Spirit, Lancelot, was displeased; he had been genuinely startled.
"Let me ask you a question: Are you willing to die to protect the king you once served?"
Ignoring Lancelot's second Heroic Spirit's sarcastic remark, Wang Hao asked indifferently yet solemnly.
Although the final fate of these two poor children had already been decided, he still intended to humanely question them with a sword.
Although whatever answers those two poor kids give won't affect my decision, at least it will put my mind at ease.
After all, he had wronged these two poor children for over a thousand years, and he still felt a little guilty.
"Yes! My king will always be my king, and my loyalty to him will never change!"
The second Heroic Spirit Lancelot, performed a standard knightly salute and stated his answer without hesitation.
Unlike the guy number one, the queen he served was a woman, and she never blamed him for having an affair with Guinevere. Instead, she blamed herself for all the mistakes.
This is a king who is as perfect as can be, and he deserves Lancelot's eternal loyalty.
I would give my life to protect my king.
Hearing Number Two's answer, Number One Heroic Spirit Lancelot felt even more conflicted. Recalling everything from his life, he finally sighed softly and said, "Although I dislike Arthur, he was indeed a perfect king, and I still acknowledge him as my king, Lancelot's king!"
"Very well, then I'll need you all to make cameo appearances in my ending, which will also be your ending."
Wang Hao was very satisfied with their answers, and now he felt much more at ease.
While Wang Hao was making his final preparations, the Ahoge King led his Paladin Legion and countless powerful warriors in a charge towards the Dark Portal, crushing the numerous Scourge Legion and Burning Legion that stood in his way.
Finally, the group arrived at the Dark Portal. The Scourge Legion and the Burning Legion had been completely wiped out, leaving only the two treacherous heroic Heroic Spirit, Lancelot and that man.
" Arthur!"
Just as Ahoge King was preparing to lead all his men into the Portal of Darkness to end everything, Guinevere suddenly rushed over.
"Your Majesty, are you also prepared to settle things with him once and for all?"
Turning around, the Ahoge King looked sadly at his Guinevere who was rushing towards him.
Although Guinevere kept insisting that she had no feelings for that man, she knew that it was all an old lie.
She had often seen her queen staring blankly at the mirror, sometimes for hours on end, clearly missing someone.
After subtly probing with her sister, Guinevere was basically certain that she was thinking of a man, whose identity was self-evident.
It's clear that Guinevere had genuine feelings for that man and could never forget him.
Therefore, she never intended to bring Guinevere to the final battle, so as not to cause further harm to this woman with a tragic fate.
But it was clear that this woman had her own ideas, and she eventually followed.
"No, I'm here to get back the necklace I gave you back then, Arthur. I need it now!"
Guinevere stopped and stared intently at the exquisite necklace around Ahoge King's neck.
Although she didn't know why she had left a cryptic coded message in her bedroom, subtly pointing to Arthur's necklace, she instinctively felt that the necklace was very important to her, more important than life itself.
" Tear of the Sea God?"
Gently stroking the blue gemstone necklace around his neck, Arthur, though not understanding his queen's intentions, decisively removed the Tear of the Sea God and handed it to Guinevere.
After receiving the Tear of the Sea God and following the instructions in the coded message, a beam of divine light shot out from the Tear of the Sea God and entered Guinevere's brow.
A torrent of information flooded into her mind. Guinevere, whose cultivation had reached the Taiyi Realm, instantly deciphered the torrent of information and finally learned the truth of everything.
"You damn bastard, I won't let you have your way!"
Her fair hands clenched tightly, and veins throbbed on Guinevere's clean forehead, giving her a fierce look.
That bastard dared to treat me like this! I'll make him regret it for the rest of his life!
You bastard, don't think you can just die so easily. Live a lifetime and make up for the mistakes you've made!
Indeed, the Tear of the Sea God necklace contained his true memories, which she had secretly left behind, and she had subtly left clues about them in her boudoir.
It was to prevent that bastard from brainwashing me and making me forget the whole truth, and now it's really come in handy.
This was also due to Wang Hao's carelessness; he underestimated human nature and Guinevere's wisdom, thus overlooking this point.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Guinevere's drastic change greatly surprised the Ahoge King, who couldn't help but ask with concern.
I'm perfectly fine!
Guinevere glared at Arthur, that stupid woman, through gritted teeth, making no attempt to hide her envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Why does that man like this adorably silly woman instead of me?
They're so stingy they don't even want to spare a single bit of love for me. How embarrassing is that for me? Doesn't I, Guinevere, have any pride?
Now that bastard has turned against her, there's no need to continue with the agreement from back then. She's going to disrupt all of that jerk's plans.
We must not let that man die so easily!
