"...I know." After being silent for a while, Liya sighed, "I will help you...as long as you don't regret it..."

"Thank you..." A faint smile appeared on Su Cheng's face, "I won't regret it. It's better to say... I might be able to get a little redemption in this plan of mine..."

"Ha..." Liya let out a long sigh again, then leaned against the wall behind her and slowly sat on the ground, "I'm so tired... I originally wanted to find you, an old friend, to catch up on old times, but in the end... Hearing your heavy plan...now makes me exhausted both physically and mentally..."

"So someone like you who knows how to use magic can also be tired?" Su Cheng asked in a half-joking tone.

"Of course." Liya smiled helplessly, "Although my physical strength is much higher than that of ordinary people because I know how to use magic, but you know - before I came to you, I traveled all over the world. All corners of the Britannia Empire.”

After saying this, Liya paused.

After a moment of silence, she continued softly:

"I traveled to every corner of the Britannia Empire, but in the end I discovered that the world... no, it turns out that human beings will never change no matter how many years they go by..."

"Similar scenes keep repeating themselves. Over the past thousand years, they have been repeated so many times that I almost vomited..."

Su Cheng did not answer Liya's words.

Instead, he looked directly at Liya with a meaningful look.

After a while, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Su Cheng's slightly upturned mouth, and then——

"Liya...isn't the current appearance of the Britannia Empire very similar to the empire that you worked so hard to establish thousands of years ago and is about to unify the entire continent?"

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Liya immediately cast a surprised look at Su Cheng.

After staring at Su Cheng blankly for a while, Liya chuckled a few times and muttered in a self-deprecating tone:

"So...you already knew who I was..."

"I was vaguely aware of it when you asked me to call you 'Liya'."

"My favorite books are all kinds of history books."

"Although my understanding of history is not as good as those of professional scholars, it is still much better than ordinary people."

"I once read a book introducing the previous monarchs of the Su Yinglan Empire."

"Through this book, I clearly remember——"

Speaking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help but cast a meaningful look at Liya again.

"Liya... is the nickname of Arthur, the 'King of Knights', when he was a child."

"And your hair color and eye color are completely consistent with Arthur's appearance recorded in the books."

"At the same time, you have said more than once that you are over a thousand years old, and the age is also consistent."

"Plus - Arthur has legends and records about magic on her body."

"According to historical records - Arthur has a good comrade named 'Merlin' by his side."

"There are very few historical records about Merlin, but there are many legends about Merlin."

"The most famous rumor about 'Merlin' is that Merlin is actually a magician who is proficient in magic. He has used magic to provide countless help to Arthur."

"When all this information is integrated, it is not difficult to deduce your identity."

Liya listened quietly to Su Cheng's story.

It wasn't until Su Cheng's words finally fell that Liya finally chuckled a few times.

"...I thought I had successfully kept you in the dark..." Liya muttered, "I didn't expect...my identity has been exposed a long time ago..."

Speaking of this, Liya took a deep breath, then straightened her chest, and said with a smile in a majestic voice:

"Yes,

As you may have guessed, I am Arthur, the 'King of Knights' who is now over a thousand years old. "

"Although I have guessed your identity a long time ago, after hearing it from you, I still feel a little weird..." Su Cheng smiled bitterly, "A hero from thousands of years ago is actually sitting in front of me..."

"So - Arthur, let me take the liberty to ask you a question that I have been wondering about for a long time - why did you choose to practice magic and become an immortal existence?"

Liya...or Arthur, after hearing Su Cheng's question, smiled slightly:

"In order to... witness with my own eyes whether the choice I made a thousand years ago was the right one..."

"My story may be a bit long. Are you sure you want to listen? You have been in this room for a long time now. If you don't get out quickly, your two wives may become suspicious."

"Then tell me slowly later." Su Cheng smiled, "Anyway - if my plan succeeds, I will have more time to listen to your story slowly."

…

A few days later——

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace.

Today is the day for a big meeting.

Whenever the day comes for a big meeting, it is just a common thing for the monarch and his ministers to hold long discussions on several issues.

Often they discuss from morning to noon, then have lunch together, take a short break, and then resume the discussion in the afternoon.

For example, today is such a scene - Elsa and the ministers discussed the issue of taxation from this morning to noon.

Then at noon, invite the ministers to have lunch together.

There is a special room in Baiyang Palace for the emperor to entertain the ministers.

Because of the large number of people, everyone does not sit to eat, but stands to eat.

There are several long tables in the spacious room, which are covered with food and drinks. Then Elsa and the ministers eat standing like this, and go to each long table to get the food they want to eat.

Although it is lunch time now, it has long become Elsa's usual thing to continue discussing government affairs with some ministers while eating lunch.

At this time, Elsa was holding a plate full of various foods while continuing to discuss government affairs with several ministers in front of her.

At this moment, Elsa suddenly caught a glimpse of Su Cheng not far away.

After taking a look at Su Cheng who was drinking juice silently, Ilsa retracted her gaze.

During this period, the relationship between Ilsa and Su Cheng became like the first war of annihilation against the Holy Xilan Empire - very awkward.

Ilsa knew that Su Cheng did not approve of her large-scale cleansing of the territory of the "Former Frankish Empire", so she had been deliberately avoiding Su Cheng.

And Su Cheng did not go to Ilsa on purpose.

The two maintained a strange harmony in this awkward atmosphere.

Ilsa retracted her gaze from Su Cheng, and just when she was about to refocus her energy and attention on the discussion with several ministers in front of her, a cry suddenly sounded from her side:

"No! No! Captain Cheng vomited blood!"
