Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess! Chapter 136: The Overly Perfect King

[The wedding of King Arthur concluded]

[Next ca preparations for external wars]

[The grain harvested earlier was for this purpose]

[After ensuring the survival of the villages in Britain, they began collecting provisions from each village. This was a necessary asure]

[The people of Britain believed that King Arthur would bring victory]

[Thus, they offered their utmost support]

[Although there were disputes with the kings of various clans, Artoria eventually gathered the necessary reserves]

[She resolved various issues, handling administrative affairs with a diligence that left everyone in awe. She ticulously weighed state matters and punished the people without bias]

[Even in past battles against foreign tribes, she arrested the lords who were the root of internal strife and dealt with them accordingly]

[King Arthur's governance was flawless]

[So lords and kings had joined forces with Artoria for a life of luxury]

[From a human perspective, striving for a better life is not inherently wrong]

[But to expect morality to restrain the ruling class]

[That would be truly naive]

[Many lords and kings could not live as frugally as Artoria. While they outwardly complied, they privately criticized the perfect king, believing she was too inhuman]

[She seed to have no greed whatsoever]

[They beca lords and kings not to live in poverty but to rise above the common folk. Their duties were secondary to them]

[Artoria, however, was the opposite]

[Many could not understand her saintly nature]

[Now, with the forced collection of provisions, many lords and kings believed Artoria was heartless, even more so than Uther, or even Vortigern]

[But the knights and people held a different view]

[They revered and admired this virtuous noble king and could endure the temporary pain of the grain collection]

[It was a necessary sacrifice for victory]

[Just as the king and knights had once brought the Golden Fleece, the people had felt hope and beneficence, which allowed them to persevere]

[They believed King Arthur could bring another miracle]

[Over the years, you had seen lords who turned their swords against Artoria for personal gain, as well as knights who remained fiercely loyal to her]

[Experiencing betrayal and misunderstanding]

[This was a process every king must endure, a path she would inevitably walk]

[As a witness, you understood this well]

[When you led the Pelasgians, you too had seen ministers and generals who, despairing of the gods, abandoned their holand. So simply gave up]

[The people of the Age of Gods could not understand why they fought against the gods]

[As a king, you must have seed just as incomprehensible to them]

[Artoria was in a similar situation]

[Although so lords and kings could not endure this environnt, they could not stir up trouble in Britain]

[King Arthur's rule remained stable]

[The people and knights trusted her, while the lords and kings feared the inhuman nature of the King of Knights]

[Several more years passed]

[The miracle of the Golden Fleece could no longer be sustained]

[The years of beneficence had co to an end, and Britain returned to its barren and desolate state]

[Due to the earlier grain collection by King Arthur]

[And the sudden famine that struck Britain this year, so lords and kings could no longer endure]

[They knew that without provisions, the soldiers could not fight]

[But they could not simply accept it]

[After all, this was like cutting flesh from their bodies, and not everyone had the resolve to endure such pain]

[Smoke and flas rose from a castle]

[This was the castle of a lord in Cornwall]

[Now, dozens of soldiers lay on the ground, their blood pooling. Knights loyal to King Arthur stood with their swords drawn]

[They coldly watched these traitors]

[To them, anyone who sought to destabilize Britain was an enemy to be eliminated]

[They upheld the king's glory]

[The soldiers and lords before them could not endure poverty and chose greed and rebellion—a very human choice]

[And thus, the king would judge them]

[Her judgnt would be flawless, without a hint of bias, perfect and just]

"Answer , why did you betray the Round Table? Why did you turn your back on our king? Why did you defy Britain, protected by Albion?"

Mordred's armor was stained with crimson blood...

She walked through the pool of blood left by the traitors, her helt exuding a nacing aura.

The rebellious noble was cornered.

He gripped his sword, trembling.

"That king, and you knights of the Round Table, are too perf, too inhuman! That's no way for a person to live! I beca a noble not to suffer more! I want a better life, I follow my desires—what's wrong with that?"

The noble looked at her as if she were a monster.

In his eyes was a deep, complex fear, and his voice was a desperate wail.

[To Mordred, these words were aningless]

[King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table were radiant, bringing peace and stability to Britain]

[Now, for the sake of future stability they were collecting provisions internally]

[To her, King Arthur was still too lenient]

[Even in internal collection, she considered others, taking only what was necessary, never more]

[Mordred believed this was a necessary asure for external wars. If it were her, she would not hesitate—those unwilling to give would be slaughtered. She would not consider the consequences]

[But that's not to say it was bad]

[Overall, she was satisfied with King Arthur's rule]

[After all, if even her father supported King Arthur, then she could not be wrong in doing so]

[She wanted to maintain her relationship with you]

[Thus, the stability of the nation was paramount. These greedy parasites must not tarnish the holy light]

Splat—!!

A crimson sword flashed.

The chaste knight gripped her twin swords without rcy, cutting down the traitor in his hatred and resentnt.

Filthy blood stained the walls.
