My Wives Of Simulation

Chapter 37: The Birth Of Artoria

_____

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the fifth follower - Nightmare.]

Name: Mellie Ambrosius (Follower)

Race: Nightmare

Follower Job: Nightmare

Strength: B

Durability: E (no patience, resulting in a significant decrease in durability.)

Agility: D (too lazy, too lazy to do anything.)

Magic: S

Luck: C

Charm: SS++

Nightmare Ability: Dream - Can confuse others, enhance one's own charm, create illusory dreams, and even pull people into the dreams they create.

As a nightmare with great potential, Mellie's attributes in all aspects should be exceptional. However, due to her extreme laziness and impatience, her stats are peculiar and uneven.

Looking at the Avalon Mage in his arms—who had lost all her strength and occasionally twitched—Elric never expected that this emotionless nightmare would become his follower in such a way.

Sure enough, the world was full of unpredictable events.

Even so, he couldn't resist teasing Mellie. "What's wrong? Didn't you brag about staying up for a hundred consecutive nights? Now you can't even manage this?"

"You're such a wimp, Mellie. Morgan and Vivian are far more reliable than you."

Hearing Elric's taunt and the comparison to Morgan and Vivian, Mellie was instantly furious.

"Rhine, how can you compare me to those two people? I don't have any experience!"

Although she had become Elric's follower, Mellie's bold and fearless personality hadn't changed. Struggling to sit up, she argued, saying she hadn't eaten yet, and if she were full, she could easily fight another three hundred rounds.

Speaking of which...

Looking up at Elric, the corners of Mellie's mouth curved into a mischievous smile, as if she had thought of something amusing.

Elric raised an eyebrow. "What's on your mind?"

Mellie smirked. "I suddenly remembered something Morgan told me once."

She added slyly, "Rhine, I heard that besides being good at fighting, you also cook delicious dishes. Every time Morgan eats them, she recovers her strength quickly."

"I haven't eaten yet, and now I'd like to try one of your special dishes too!"

Recalling Morgan's gleeful boasts about Elric's "special ability," Mellie could picture her smug expression. Morgan often referred to this as the "dish of love," claiming only those in love could truly savor its taste.

"My new dish?"

Hearing this, Elric's eyes flickered knowingly. He had a good idea of what Morgan had been hinting at.

Chuckling softly, he realized Mellie was oblivious to the hidden meaning. Gently kissing her forehead, he murmured, "This dish might just be something you can't resist."

[Mellie fell asleep.]

[Though She are a Nightmare and the Avalon Swordmaster, there are some things that martial prowess cannot overcome. After battling with you for an entire morning, the utterly drained Mellie was unable to hold on any longer.]

[In 417 AD, King Uther finally prepared all the necessary materials. With the secret help of Mellie and you, the heir known as the Red Dragon was born.]

["Why is this child... a girl?"]

[Angry and disappointed at Artoria's gender, King Uther was frustrated because he wanted a son.]

["King, whether it's a boy or a girl, this child will be the hope of the future. Believe in her."]

[Originally, the child named Arthur Pendragon, who was supposed to be Uther's son, was not born. Following your words, Mellie used a subtle magic spell, allowing Artoria Pendragon—who should not have existed—to come into the world instead.]

[With high expectations for Artoria's future, King Uther was determined to train this child and turn her into a true king.]

[In 422 AD, as time went by, the changes in Britain became more obvious. The mystical energies began to dissipate, the ether faded, and natural and man-made disasters started occurring more frequently throughout Britain.]

[Similarly, as the embodiment of Glory, your power continued to grow stronger with time.]

[The existence of the Kabbalah Tree of Life caused the City of Glory's territory to expand, and even the holy city of Camelot on Crete was greatly affected. The once barren lands became fertile, and the people thrived, living in peace and happiness.]

["The King of Glory is the best king; he should inherit Camelot!"]

["If even the King of Glory can't do it, then no one can!"]

["The future of Britain must be Glory!"]

[Even though they had never experienced your rule, never seen your face, and received no orders from the Emperor of Eternal Night, the prosperity and development brought by Glory made countless Britons yearn for it.]

[King Wex, King Stuya, King Edward… Countless kings bowed to your might, and many people submitted to you willingly. The territory of Glory continued to expand and eventually covered nearly half of Britain.]

[In the same year, King Uther, fearing that Artoria's identity as a girl might draw too much attention, sent her to the care of the old knight Sir Ector when she was just five years old. There, she met Kay, who would one day become one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.]

[Feeling uneasy about your rapid growth, the Lord of the North, King Bie, decided to refrain from launching an attack against you and instead sought to cooperate with you once more.]

[During the same year, Artoria lived a quiet and modest life at Sir Ector's home. As an apprentice knight, she trained under Ector's guidance, learning the ways of swordsmanship and proper knightly etiquette.]

[However, because Camelot was influenced by you, Artoria was spared the hardships of farming. With Camelot flourishing under your influence, the people no longer faced hunger or poverty, and everyone had enough food and clothing to live comfortably.]

[By 424 AD, Artoria, now seven years old, was ready to begin her magical training. King Uther sent her to learn under Britain's renowned national teacher, Mellie. During the day, she honed her swordsmanship skills, while at night, she learned magic from Mellie in her dreams.]

[On this day, Artoria met Mellie for the first time, marking the beginning of her magical education and symbolizing the official start of King Arthur's journey.]
