"Hm, it all started wh I turned five years old. And father said he wanted to give sothing special on my birthday, my father was never the soft kind. He gave a locket, Although at the ti, it just felt like a small normal locket."
Artoria began, and rlin listed. Ha Joon was still camping on the walls, eavesdropping on their conversation.
"It wasn't until I turned sev that I began to realize what the locket really was. Every night, since I began wearing the locket to bed, I would have visions of this young man, roughly the sa age as at the ti, black hair and dressed in this weird kind of outfit.
His bedroom was very differt from what I've se in the castle walls, pictures of wom dressed in strange outfits on the walls, and other magical items that I still don't know the na of. I believe one of them was called a playstation, at least that's what was writt on it everyti I appeared there".
'Eh? Playstation? How does the king of Calot know about sothing in the far future? And this guy, having pictures of girls in his room at 5? Surely it can't be , it can't be .. right?' Ha Joon had begun sweating.
"At first it was weird and I felt lost, but I got curious to know what that world was, where I'd always find myself everyti I slept. And so, I kept going back there every night. I could hear his voice, the things he did-"
'T..the things I did?' At this point, Ha Joon's sweat was trailing like bullets on his face.
"Although so were… quite embarrassing. But luckily he couldn't see or hear . And that beca my place of comfort, if I was ever sad, I'd go there, if I was happy, I'd list to him play with his magic shiny objects. This kept going on until I was 3, wh my father died. The power of the locket died too, the boy in the other world beca unreachable, -"
"And th you miraculously found him on the battlefield, the boy you hav't se for over 8 years was suddly in front of you, ah♡, romanceeee~" rlin hugged Artoria, nudging her back and forth like a cute doll.
The only person in the Calot would dare to do that.
"And this is the last ti I'm telling you this. Why did you ev ask for it? You hav't asked about it in a long ti." Artoria asked, giving rlin the side eye.
"Oh, let's just say soone needed to understand what was going on." rlin grinned deviously.
"Soone? What do you an so-"
rlin suddly used her magic to splash water on Artoria's face. Her laughter was loud as she kept on with the attack.
anwhile…
Ha Joon had managed to step down from the castle wall. He was not standing in the courtyard, his back pressed against the wall.
His hand covered his mouth as he looked to the g, his eyes wided in shock.
'No freaking way, please tell it's not what I'm currtly thinking. She was in my room? How? I an there's a chance she wasn't talking about right? But th again, I'm the only Traveler. Or atleast the only one I've heard of'.
Ha Joon's face turned ev more red as a new thought crossed his mind.
'That would explain her reaction wh she first saw … and why on earth would she take in a stranger… it's all making sse now, what's ev worse …'
'There's a chance she saw masturbating!!!'.
...
The next day*
Ha Joon rode behind Artoria on her dragon, drake, his hand a her waist as the dragon soared through the air.
After a few minutes, they arrived at the water source. To his surprise, a lot of people were prest, from mages, to knights and ev so rchants.
'Ehhh? Why are there so many people here? I thought this place was supposed to be secure?' Ha Joon spouted.
[I believe they are here to be witnesses, in case an allegation was ever brought up against the royal house.]
[People td to have problems trusting in things like this, as they believe it might be political scandal]
'Well that's just dumb.'
Drake landed on the g, just right in the middle of the gathered crowd.
Artoria and Ha Joon leaped down, all eyes imdiately falling on them.
"Don't make eye contact with anyone." Artoria whispered to Ha Joon before she advanced towards the river.
"R-Right." Ha Joon responded, walking slowly behind her.
"That is the King's pet? He looks nothing like the description states".
"Is this the man who was supposed to fix the corrupted water? That's such a sha".
"I knew the kingdom was facing financial issues, but to stick to a clown parade is bad to the King's reputation, is Calot seriously falling already?".
'Do these people realize we can actually hear them talking? The hell? What are they attacking for?' Ha Joon took one quick glance at the crowd and noticed the hatred on so people's features.
He looked away.
'Oh now I get it. There are always so groups of people who stand against those in power, the poisoned minded people. Calot is way too big to spot every one of them, ruining the Royal family's reputation is their whole mission. The fact Artoria has be having issues ruling the kingdom isn't helping her case either… in other words, I need to make her a better king.'
Ha Joon arrived in front of the river, and there Artoria stood to the side, the knights all suring him so no one would get close.
Ev rlin was watching from a distance with a smile on her face.
'If all she needs is a few scam miracles to get to the top, to make sure her fa as the legdary king of Calot remains? Th that is sothing I'll definitely do, no question asked'.
He touched the surface of the water.
'Watch, I will beco Calot's savior!'.
"Purification."
