“What do you plan to do next?” Inside the camp, Artoria looked at Gilles de Rais, who was now recovered, and asked him and Joan of Arc about their future plans: “If you decide to stay, Avalon welcomes you.

You can build a house on the island, and then raise some sheep.

I quite like sheep, they were very useful during wartime, they…”

“Enough, English!

We will not stay!

Nor will we accept your charity!” Joan of Arc yelled at Artoria with a tone of hostility.

As a former French general, Joan of Arc had spent those two years active in history fighting against the English invasion of France.

The hatred from the Hundred Years’ War had long embedded itself in the hearts of every French and British person.

Besides, Joan of Arc herself had met her end due to the schemes of the English.

It would be difficult for her to show any kindness towards an English person.

Had it not been for Artoria’s shelter and the healing of Gilles de Rais, Joan of Arc would have probably drawn her sword against this English person before her already.

Although Joan of Arc had become fallen, her character had not changed, but the anger she released did affect her temperament.

She was still the kind Holy Maiden and the French savior, but she also instinctively harbored hatred and hostility towards the English and the Catholic Church.

“My apologies, but I am Celtic, not English,” Artoria corrected the slight mistake made by Joan of Arc and declared, “The United Kingdom is a Puritan nation.

Though we both believe in God, we are not of the same house as the Catholic Church.”

Artoria was a king of Ancient Britain in mythology, ethnically a Celt, different in lineage from the descendants of the Anglo-Saxons, who were English.

To be precise, the Celts were the native people of Britain, while the Anglo-Saxons were a branch of the Germanic peoples.

Today’s English were likewise descendants of the Germanic peoples.

This was something King Arthur had only come to understand after the Seal was lifted, explained through history lessons given by Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty.

Do you remember Bloody Mary mentioned earlier?

The rise of the Puritans happened during her era, and her name “Bloody Mary” stemmed from her massacres of the Puritans.

However, during the reign of Elizabeth I, the Puritans revived and became the national church of England, successfully and thoroughly driving out the power of the Catholic Church.

With the strengthening of the British Empire, the influence of the Puritans grew to the point where they no longer feared the Catholic Church or the Holy See.

But in today’s waning British Empire and Roman Curia, both sides no longer have the energy for such conflicts; preserving their own base and restoring their former power are their main concerns.

Artoria’s explanation left Joan of Arc at a loss.

Although she was a former French general and had received all sorts of honors from the Imperial Family, in the end, Joan of Arc, who had died at the age of nineteen, was not well-educated, otherwise, she wouldn’t have signed a confession she couldn’t understand during her lifetime.

So she hurriedly glanced at Gilles de Rais as if she were asking for his opinion.

Naturally, Gilles de Rais would not let Joan be embarrassed, so he coughed to clear his throat and explained, “Her Majesty Artoria is not our enemy; she is the monarch of the Celts, and the present English are descended from their enemies. ƒreewebɳovel.com

In the United Kingdom, we don’t need to worry about the persecution of the Catholic Church.

Although the Puritans share a belief in God with the Catholic Church, they are not of the same kind, as their doctrines differ.”

“If we are all brothers who believe in God, why must we bear arms against each other?” Joan couldn’t help but lament, but she also understood what was going on.

After a moment of frustration, she still didn’t apologize to Artoria, merely muttering to herself, “English people are such a nuisance, how was I to know she wasn’t English?”

Artoria, on the other hand, didn’t mind this at all.

When she had previously gotten acquainted with Gilles de Rais, she had heard his stories about Joan and held a favorable impression of the hero who had saved her own country.

Putting aside these interludes, Gilles de Rais then said to Artoria, “Your Majesty Artoria, we originally planned to retire in Avalon, but now that Joan intends to seek revenge against the Catholic Church, we will have to change our plans, after all living in Avalon would not allow us to carry out our revenge.”

“Hatred…

Revenge solves nothing.” Recalling her feud with Mordred, Artoria did not wish to see Joan and Gilles de Rais consumed by hatred.

“I didn’t want to seek revenge at first, but clearly they do not intend to let us go!” Remembering the church’s pursuit of her and Gilles de Rais, Joan’s anger surged once more—her fallen self had become particularly prone to rage.

Gilles de Rais was undisturbed by this, allowing Joan to vent for a while before speaking, “The church will not cease their hunt for us, but we have no intention of hiding in Avalon forever, so I plan to seek out that demigod from the Orient and ask for his assistance.”

“The demigod from the Orient?

You wish to visit that Mr.

Demigod?” Hearing what Gilles de Rais said, Artoria’s eyes lit up, “I have grown accustomed to this era recently and was just planning to travel the world, to experience this age and sample various delicacies…

no, I mean learn about the conditions of different countries, and I was preparing to seek out that gentleman.

If you have the same plans, may I travel with you?”

Gilles de Rais glanced at Joan and seeing no objection from her agreed, “If that is the case, then we could ask for no better.

It would be an honor to travel with King Arthur.”

“It also honors me to journey with Miss Joan and you, Mr.

Gilles,” Artoria rejoiced upon Gilles de Rais accepting the arrangement.

Still, Gilles de Rais asked with concern, “But Your Majesty Artoria, if you travel with us, will you bring the Knights of the Round Table along?

If they accompany you, it might be too conspicuous.”

“Rest assured, I have already considered this matter.

The Knights of the Round Table will not follow me any longer.

These knights have been loyal to me for a thousand years; now is the time for them to pursue their own desires,” Artoria said.

The one hundred and fifty Knights of the Round Table are now all of Legendary-rank, arguably the most potent armed force in this world, but to Artoria, they were merely a group of subordinates who had served her loyally for a millennium, now in need of rest.
