"...I understand." After a long silence, 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 get a little redemption in my plan..."

"Ha..." Riya sighed again, then slowly sat on the ground against the wall behind her back, "I was so tired... I originally wanted to find you, an old friend, to reminisce about the past, but in the end I heard such a heavy plan... Now I'm exhausted both physically and mentally..."

"So people like you who know how to use magic will be tired?" Su Cheng asked in a half-joking tone.

"Of course." Riya smiled helplessly, "Although I am far above ordinary people because of my knowledge of using magic, do you know that I have traveled all corners of the Britannian Empire before I came to find you."

Having said that, Learton stopped.

After a while of silence, she continued to whisper:

"I traveled all over the Britannian Empire, but in the end I found that the world... no, it turns out that humans will never change no matter how many years they have..."

"Similar situations are constantly repeating. There are so many repetitions over the past thousand years that I have to see if I vomit..."

Su Cheng didn't take Liya's words.

Instead, he looked at Liya with a meaningful gaze.

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

"Liya... Is the Britannian Empire now very similar to the empire you built thousands of years ago that you worked hard to unify the entire continent?"

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

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

"So...you knew who I am long ago..."

"I vaguely noticed it when you asked me to call you 'Liya'."

"The books I like to read most are all kinds of history books."

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

"I once read a book introducing the monarchs of the Soviet-English Empire."

"Through this book, I clearly remember—"

Speaking of this, Su Cheng involuntarily cast a meaningful look at Liya again.

"Liya... is the nickname of the 'Knight King' Arthur when he was young."

"And your hair color and pupil color are all in line with Arthur's appearance characteristics recorded in the books."

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

"In addition, there are legends about magic on Arthur."

"According to historical records, Arthur had a good comrade named 'Merlin' next to him."

"There are 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 familiar with magic. He once used magic to provide countless help to Arthur."

"It is not difficult to infer your identity by integrating this information together."

Liya listened quietly to Su Cheng's story.

It was not until Su Cheng's words finally fell that Liya finally chuckled several times.

"...I thought I had always been successful in keeping you in the dark..." Liya muttered, "I didn't expect it... My identity has been exposed long ago..."

Speaking of this, Riya took a deep breath, then straightened her chest, and smiled with a majestic voice:

"Yes, as you guessed, I am Arthur, the 'Knight King' who is over a thousand years old."

"Although I have guessed your identity for a long time, I still feel a little subtle after listening to you in person..." Su Cheng smiled bitterly, "The hero from a thousand years ago actually sat in front of me..."

"So-Arthur, let me take the liberty to ask you a question that I have been puzzled for a long time-for what did you choose to practice magic and transform into an immortal being?"

Lea...or Arthur, after hearing this question from Su Cheng, he smiled slightly:

"To... witness with your own eyes whether the choice I made a thousand years ago is correct..."

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

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

...

...

A few days later—

Britannia Empire, Pandragon, and Baiyang Palace.

Today is the day for a grand meeting.

Whenever the day of convening a grand meeting, the monarch and his ministers had a long discussion on several issues, which was just a common thing.

Often, we discuss from morning to noon, and then have lunch together, and after a brief rest, we start the discussion again in the afternoon.

For example, today is like this - Ilsa and her ministers discussed the issue of taxation, and they have been discussing this morning until noon.

Then at noon, the ministers were invited to have lunch together.

Baiyang Palace has a special room for the emperor to entertain his ministers.

Due to the excessive number of people, everyone did not sit and dine, but stood.

There were several long tables in the spacious room, covered with delicious food and drinks. Then Ilsa and his ministers stood and ate, and went to each long table to get the food they wanted to eat.

Although it is lunch time, continuing the government discussion with some ministers while having lunch has long become something Ilsa often does.

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

At this moment, Ilsa suddenly glanced at Su Cheng not far away.

After looking at Su Cheng who was drinking juice silently, Ilsa withdrew her gaze.

During this period, the relationship between Ilsa and Su Cheng became like just launching the first war of destruction against the Holy Hillan Empire - very embarrassing.

Ilsa knew that Su Cheng did not agree with her major purge of the territory of the "formerly Frank Empire", so she kept 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 took her eyes off Su Cheng, and was about to focus her energy on the discussion with the ministers in front of her, a scream suddenly sounded from her side:
