Chapter 7

~5 min read 987 words

Artoria arrived anxiously at the entrance of the inn where they were staying. However, unfortunately, perhaps because of today's Knight Assembly, even the innkeeper had run off to watch the excitement. Therefore, looking at the door tightly closed with two door bolts, Artoria was also at her wit's end.

"No, Kay is still waiting for me!"

Artoria and Kay had a good relationship. Although Artoria was only Sir Ector's foster son (foster daughter), Kay had always been very good to her.

Although she usually had to learn swordsmanship during the day and do chores at night, only having three to five hours of rest every day—and during these three to five hours, there was always a strange guy named Merlin running into her dreams to teach her swordsmanship—she lived very contentedly.

"I have to find a way to get a sword for Kay, but I can't snatch someone else's sword. Should I go buy one? But at this time, the shopkeeper must have gone to watch the ceremony too."

Artoria was very anxious, and at this moment, she suddenly heard the discussion of pedestrians in her ear.

"Have you heard? There's a sword stuck in a big rock at the church next door!"

"I heard. I also heard that whoever pulls out this sword can obtain this sword!"

"But I heard many knight lords have tried, and they couldn't pull it out at all!"

"Pfft, them not being able to pull it out means they're not good enough. Them not being good enough doesn't mean I'm not good enough!"

"Let's go! Let's go watch the excitement together!"

For a time, countless people rushed toward the church. And hearing the discussion of these people, Artoria's eyes lit up, and she also hurriedly rushed toward the church square.

On the church square, on a huge rock, a golden, shining treasure sword was quietly stuck in it. Countless people were watching from the side, but no one tried.

Looking at this scene, Artoria didn't think too much. Time was urgent. She stepped on the gravel road, walked straight over, and directly grasped the hilt of the sword.

Looking at Artoria's actions, all the failed knights nearby couldn't help but laugh.

"Look, another person who doesn't know their own limits has gone to try."

"To think it's such a thin, small boy. Young people nowadays really don't know their own limits."

"Hahaha, I bet ten shillings, he will definitely fail. Who wants to bet with me?"

"Heh, knowing it's a losing game, who would want to bet with you?"

For a time, everyone looked at Artoria in front of them with quite a bit of contempt. But Artoria at this moment turned a deaf ear; before her, only this gorgeous big sword remained.

"Treasure sword, treasure sword, sorry to trouble you to come with me for a trip."

After Lia finished speaking, she exerted force on her hand. Hum! Instantly, a melodious ceremonial music seemed to ring in her ears; she seemed to smell the fragrance of white chrysanthemums and roses!

Instantly, this sword, which everyone couldn't pull out and seemed as heavy as Mount Tai, actually stuck to Artoria's hand impatiently. Artoria didn't even exert any force, and the sword was directly pulled out by Artoria!

The golden light was bright and blinding. At this moment, the originally noisy church directly fell silent.

"Pulled... pulled... pulled it out! He actually pulled it out! How is that possible!"

"No! Impossible! Fake! It must be fake! There must be a wizard who cast magic! Otherwise, why could such a thin, small scabbard pull out this sword!"

"That... is it too late for me to bet with you now? I bet one hundred shillings."

"Get lost!"

"Compared to one hundred shillings... have you forgotten that prophecy?"

"You mean that... no way..."

Seeing that the situation in the church was a bit wrong, Artoria was also stunned for a moment. What happened? Didn't she just pull out a sword? Why did everyone have such a reaction?

"Forget it, time is running out, I must go find Kay immediately!" Artoria immediately wanted to leave. However, at this moment, a voice rang out in her ear:

【Life Simulation System has been bound. Would you like to start the life simulation?】

"Hm?" In an instant, My King was stunned on the spot. "Life simulation? What is this? Why does this voice ring in my mind? Could it be magic similar to Merlin's?"

For a time, My King didn't know what had happened, so she also said quite curiously:

"Start?"

【Command accepted, life simulation starting!】

Swoosh!

Accompanied by an invisible light, My King felt a transparent panel appear in her mind. On it, lines of text appeared directly:

【Day 1: You successfully pulled out the Sword in the Stone, Caliburn. You also learned about the Sword in the Stone from the mouths of the knights around you. Whoever pulls out the Sword in the Stone is the King of Great Britain!

You are quite shocked, and at this moment, an incomparably handsome black-haired youth appears before you. He expresses to you that he wants to become your knight. Would you like to agree?

Option One: Agree. I am the future King of Great Britain; isn't it normal for someone to pledge allegiance?

Option Two: Disagree. I am just an ordinary person, and I still have to give the sword to my foster brother. I cannot waste time here.】

Hm?

Looking at the two options before her, Artoria was stunned for a moment. She looked blankly at the Sword in the Stone in her hand and then started to doubt life.

Me? King of Great Britain? Did this system get something wrong?

(Does everyone like to read the story of King Arthur? If you like it, I will write it in detail. If you don't like it, I will keep it simple and go straight to the main plot.)
