Chapter 494: Uninvited Guests

Therefore, Su Han trusted his own intuition.

If nothing went wrong, those people were coming for King Arthur.

…

In fact, Su Han’s guess was correct.

But what he saw before was the people sent after him.

The first batch of people had already woken up and arrived at Central City.

…

Central City.

The whole city was beaming with joy.

Because the starfield celebration ceremony and the King’s wedding would be held here for a month, the people were enthusiastically dressing up the city.

Especially the Thames River in the central area.

This was the central area of the celebration.

So this place was decorated beautifully by the people.

All kinds of lights shone, and colorful ribbons fluttered.

It must be known that the people of the British Starfield had been waiting for this day for a long time, for a full 30,000 years.

It had taken countless ancestors to achieve this success.

So the people all wanted to make this ceremony lively and lively,

then they would cross the past and walk towards the future.

In the palace not far away from here, a blond youth wearing a crown and a blue cape was standing quietly by the window.

His eyes were fixed on the busy people on the Thames River not far away.

No one knew what he was thinking.

“King, what are you looking at?”

A soft greeting suddenly came from behind.

“Nothing. I’m just glad to see the people so happy.”

The youth turned his head and spoke to the person behind him with a smile.

“King, you worked hard to protect the entire British Starfield and even took back all the lost territories. The people are loving you.”

That’s right, this youth.

No!

It should be said that he was a young girl.

It was the King Arthur that Su Han and the other two were looking for — Artoria Pendragon.

Actually, she was no longer considered a young girl. After all, it had already been 30,000 years.

But for some reasons, she still remained as a young girl.

And the person who spoke just now was her childhood friend — Guinevere.

She was also the person who was about to become her princess consort.

Seeing the admiration in Guinevere’s eyes, Artoria hesitated.

Because she was a girl, if she became her princess consort, she would be lonely for the rest of her life.

However, if she did not marry a queen, the ministers would not be able to refuse, and the outside world would gradually become suspicious.

This was not conducive to the stability of the starfield. This was not what she wanted to see.

Seeing that Artoria was hesitant to speak, Guinevere held her hand and asked, “King, what’s wrong?”

“I…”

King Arthur, who had always been brave and decisive on the battlefield, suddenly did not know what to say at this moment.

Although she cared about her very much and did not want to hide it…

This was not a small matter. Right now, only she and her former teacher were involved in this matter.

Thinking of her teacher, a hint of nostalgia flashed across her eyes. She did not know how she was doing now.

Other than the first time, everyone who knew about it had been killed by her father.

This was because once this matter was exposed, if it was used by someone with ulterior motives, it might cause a riot.

Now was the crucial moment of the ceremony. There were many people who were not involved.

This made Artoria have to be careful.

However, looking at the anticipation and concern in Guinevere’s eyes, she thought about the friendship she had had with her companions for so many years.

In the end, she decided to tell her the truth.

This galaxy had already sacrificed one girl, and she should not let another girl suffer.

“Guinevere, actually, I…”

“Your Majesty, there’s someone outside requesting an audience.”

Just as Artoria was about to say that she was a girl, a guard suddenly walked in from outside and interrupted her.

“Who is it?”

“I’m not sure. It seems to be someone from another starfield.”

Someone from another starfield?

Then why did they come here now?

Artoria had a feeling that the other party did not come with good intentions.

However, she felt that she should still go and meet them to see what their plans were.

“Since someone is here, I’ll go first. You should go back and rest first.”

Stroking Guinevere’s cheek, Artoria spoke with a smile.

“Okay, my king. Business is more important.”

Guinevere nodded, then turned around and left the hall.

However, in a place where Artoria could not see, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

“Let’s go. Take me to meet those guests who came from afar.”

Watching Guinevere leave quietly, Artoria apologized guiltily.

Then, she returned to her serious expression and walked out of the door.

In the reception hall.

Artoria saw a few guests from other galaxies.

They were all wearing black robes, and their entire bodies were hidden in the darkness.

Looking at their attire, Artoria frowned slightly.

“May I know where you are from and what business do you have with us in the British Starfield?”

Although the other party might have ulterior motives, Artoria still maintained the demeanor of a king.

“King Arthur’s reputation is indeed extraordinary. It is better to see it than to hear it a hundred times.”

After complimenting King Arthur, the leading black-robed person continued, “We came from the depths of the universe. When we passed by here, we happened to hear that there was going to be a celebration ceremony here. Because we admire King Arthur, we came to this starfield to take a look.

“This is our gift.”

After saying that, the leader of the black-robed men let someone present the gift.

Artoria took a closer look.

It was a precious sapphire the size of a fist.

And it was pure natural sapphire.

Artoria knew what it was. She could tell at a glance how precious it was. At least, there were not many sapphire gems like this in the British Starfield.

She did not expect that the other party would give such a precious item. However, she did not believe a single word of their story.

So, she prepared to test it out.

“Thank you for your gifts. Everyone has come from afar. Why don’t you have a good time in Central City? If you need any help, just say it.”

“Since King Arthur has said it, we really do have a small matter that we need your help with,” the black-robed man continued.

“Oh? What is it?”

“We want King Arthur’s Offensive Rune.”

As soon as he said this, the entire reception hall instantly fell silent.

A cold light flashed across Artoria’s eyes.

She didn’t expect that the other party’s goal was actually that.

Who leaked the secret?

Teacher?

A complicated look flashed across Artoria’s eyes.

Or had they investigated her?

“Rune? What is that thing? I don’t know.”

Artoria shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know.

As if he already knew that King Arthur would answer like this, the black-robed man continued.

“You don’t have to deny it. We have no evidence, and no one told us that it was an inference.”

“If that’s the case, without evidence, how can you prove that the rune is in my hands?”

Artoria’s fingers moved slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
