Reborn in Type-Moon, My Sister is Aoko Aozaki

Chapter 45: Volume 1: Chapter 46 – The Knight of the Long River



[You slept soundly, and the fatigue left over from yesterday completely disappeared. The scratches on your body have also healed.]

[However, what left you slightly puzzled was that you couldn't understand why your foster sister, Artoria, would unconsciously stroke your abdomen while resting last night.]

[But you didn't think too much about it. After all, the next phase of your mission was the final battle to reclaim Camelot—the White Tower City—from the remnants of Vortigern's army.]

[Perhaps it was because your foster sister's fame spread throughout all of Britain after she defeated Vortigern. Even across the channel in France, rumors of the Sword in the Stone and the "King of Ideals," King Arthur, reached their ears.]

[So, as your army marched toward Camelot, a French knight named Lancelot, who had apparently heard of the "King Arthur" legend, came to challenge your foster sister Artoria, eager to test his strength against hers.]

[However, since you were still in the middle of a war, your foster sister suggested that they delay the duel until after the battle for Camelot, to avoid any unexpected consequences. She didn't mind the challenge, but prioritized the mission.]

[To your surprise, Lancelot didn't seem upset by this proposal. Instead, he willingly offered to join your army. His reasoning was as follows:]

["When I was in France, my people often praised you as the King of Ideals. Since you are both a king and a knight, a simple duel would only show your prowess as a knight. Instead, why not let me experience your majesty as a king on the battlefield?"]

[Your foster sister Artoria had no objections and gladly agreed to Lancelot's request. After all, his addition to your forces would bolster the army and reduce the casualties of the upcoming battle.]

[However, Aggravain seemed somewhat dissatisfied with this. Still, since Artoria had already agreed, he quietly moved beside you and softly reminded you to be cautious of the French knight while on the battlefield.]

[You understood Aggravain's concern. While you hadn't sensed any malice from Lancelot, the fact that he was a knight from another country meant he needed to be watched closely.]

[You nodded at Aggravain to assure him not to worry, but Lancelot seemed confused by the fact that someone like you—a boy—was allowed to stay in the main tent of the army. He couldn't help but ask Artoria, wondering whether it was safe for you to join the battle wearing a mask.]

[Artoria and the others didn't bother explaining. They simply smiled and responded:]

["You'll understand once you're on the battlefield, Sir Lancelot."]

[Thus, with the help of a powerful ally, your army continued toward Camelot.]

[As expected, after losing Vortigern's leadership, the remaining enemy forces were no longer a serious threat.]

[While you encountered some unexpected resistance during the siege, you successfully reclaimed the White Tower City, a symbol of Britain's glory.]

[The long war was finally over, and the shadow over Britain was dispelled.]

[Though some of Vortigern's remaining troops and the Saxons refused to surrender and chose to retreat at the final moment, your victory was undeniable.]

[You rode alongside your foster sister Artoria, listening to the citizens and soldiers inside the city cheer for King Arthur.]

[You knew that an era had ended.]

[A new era had begun.]

...

"So, was he like that on the battlefield the whole time?"

As the voices of the people around you cheered passionately for "King Arthur," Lancelot, with his purple hair and eyes, dressed in white armor, gazed ahead at the golden-haired "boy" king. He looked at the boy behind Artoria, his white cloak spotless, the masked figure who had fought with such deadly precision.

Recalling how the boy had defeated one enemy after another with a single strike—clean, efficient, and frighteningly beautiful swordsmanship—he asked the knight beside him, Gawain, in disbelief.

"Haha, you'll get used to it. Don't let his appearance fool you, Sir. If we're talking about swordsmanship, he's probably the strongest among us. Even I was once taught by him."

Gawain knew that Lancelot was stunned. When he had first joined King Arthur's ranks and fought alongside him, Gawain had the same reaction as Lancelot now.

Enemies rarely realized what had happened before they were already dead. They couldn't even approach King Arthur's back.

So, a saying began to circulate among the army:

—[Sir Gawain is the king's protector. Sir Aggravain is the king's right hand, and Sir En (you) are the king's shadow, capable of striking down any enemy who dares harm the king.]

"Truly, King Arthur is extraordinary..."

Lancelot snapped back from his shock, murmuring to himself as he watched the boy king's back.

Even knights like him were willing to swear loyalty to such a king. Through this joint battle, Lancelot understood why Arthur was called the "King of Ideals."

Originally, as the foster son of the Lady of the Lake and praised as the "Knight of the Lake" by his people, Lancelot had been skeptical about such rumors. But now, he was genuinely impressed.

After all, what kind of king could make so many people smile? Surely, that was a king worthy of respect.

...

[The war against Vortigern has ended, and with this victory, the local lords have fully recognized your foster sister Artoria as the new king.]

[In the meantime, many renowned knights have pledged their loyalty to her, making Artoria the talk of all Britain.]

[—But the war isn't over yet.]

[Even though Vortigern has fallen, his remaining forces and the Saxons continue to occasionally invade British lands, and the Picts in the north are starting to stir.]

[Your foster sister Artoria, with little time to rest, has to lead her army once again into battle. Fortunately, she did not disappoint the people, and the results were all victories.]

[But as King Arthur's victories piled up and the battles stretched on, the people began to worry about another issue.]

[That issue was the king's lack of a queen and heir, which made people uneasy about the future succession.]

[This anxiety spread quickly, and soon, it reached your foster sister Artoria's ears...]
