Why My Servant Is So Perfect?
Ch. 04 – The Life of Arthur Pendragon

That feeling is very strange. He is like being taken to a past life and feeling firsthand the experience of that person's life.

'The guy'? Obviously that person is ... Arthur Pendragon's.

Opening her eyes, Lux finds herself standing quietly in a room that seems medieval.

But instead of appearing with the original appearance, Lux actually appeared with the appearance of Servant Arthur, but the boy version (kid).

About ... 5 years?

Lux shook her head lightly then she walked out. He knows what's going on. He is now living the life of the King of England.

Only, what Lux did not expect was his acceptance process. He thought all the memories of Arthur Pendragon would be received instantly.

As he exited the room, Lux saw two figures preparing food with the main ingredient as meat.

One was a boy of his age while the other was an old man, but both figures exuded a chivalric aura.

"Oh, Arthur? It's unsurprising. You wake up much faster this time, usually you will fall asleep until you forget the time" the boy said in a joking tone.

"Stop talking Kay. Arthur, sit down immediately."

" ... Fine."

There are several existences that play a role in the Arthur Pendragon legend and both figures include existences that play a role in the Arthurian legend.

The figure who acts as a father in terms of caring and teacher to train Arthur both in the field of war knowledge, war tactics, political field, and so on, the matters relating to being King as well as the fight are Sir Ector, a simple and wise old knight who raised Arthur as his adopted son and successor.

Sir Ector, once served as one of the knights accompanying the King of England before, Uther Pendragon – Father of Arthur –

The boy who greedily devoured the food on the table was named Kay or Sir Kay and was the only son of Sir Ector. Also, Kay is one of the members of the Knight of the Round Tables – Knight's association of trusted knights by King Arthur –

"Arthur."

"Yes?"

" ... Your training will begin. Are you really ready? I remind you once again, after you take this step ... You won't be able to back off."

"I'm ready, Uncle Ector."

" ... "

Sensing Arthur's decisiveness, Sir Ector couldn't help but sigh. Actually, he didn't want Arthur to take this step because he knew what Arthur's end as King was. Of course this was known because he had been directly spelled out by that 'woman.

Thinking of the succubus beautiful woman who liked to play tricks on the male heart, Sir Ector's lips twitched.

"Yes, since you've decided I won't stand in your way anymore. Other than that ..." Sir Ector looked at Kay. "Kay will accompany you. So I don't have to worry."

"Hm! Aye! I'm gonna meet you!" kay said with a mouth full of food.

"Save your food first." Sir Ector is a little upset.

"Hehehe ..." Kay scratched her head in embarrassment then patted her chest confidently, "You don't have to worry Dad. As long as I'm alive, I'll take care of Arthur!"

"You're mocking me? Why do I need you to take care of me" Lux said unknowingly and in normal language.

"Haha! After all, you wouldn't be able to live without me!"

"Isn't it exactly the opposite? Did you forget? I'm much stronger than you."

"Well! Damnit damnit! You are stronger than me, now you are arrogant huh?!"

"Enough, enough. Stop fighting."

Sir Ector shook his head helplessly. They are both very familiar.

But this is what makes their atmosphere warm ...

...***...

The Lux figure is surrounding the expanse of grass at night and moonlight as a lighting tool.

It has been about 9 years since he lived his life as Arthur and now he is 14 years old.

And should Lux say ... Life as Arthur Pendragon is difficult. Even Lux with a mature mentality was unable to capture all that Sir Ector had taught him.

What Sir Ector emphasized the most was about being the perfect 'King. Honestly, that sounds crazy because nothing in this world is perfect.

But that's Arthur Pendragon's destiny. Even if Lux refuses, Arthur does not refuse.

Arthur must be the perfect King and even Arthur himself also wants to be the perfect King figure dreamed by the people.

Therefore, even though Lux was eager to resist, she could not.

'Arthur Pendragon, one of the Heroes in the legend who has a tragic story right?'

There are many stories of heroes whose endings are tragic but Arthur is probably one of the most tragic.

The legend of Arthur Pendragon has many problems. Betrayal, division, infidelity, war, and so on.

Of course it was according to the original legend of Lux's origin world. It is a parallel world, which means there is a slight change from the original legend.

From what Lux remembers, there was no problem about the affair for this parallel Arthur, but for other issues it remained.

It is not easy to live as Arthur Pendragon. Arthur is absolutely incredible to be able to bear all that pressure.

'Or should I say he's a little stupid too?'

Still choose the path to become a 'King' despite knowing what his end will be like, let alone a word that is suitable for Arthur other than stupid?

'But Arthur is indeed a powerful king ...'

Arthur Pendragon was born to British King Uther Pendragon and his wife Igraine.

In other words, Uther Pendragon is a bastard King who falls in love with someone else's wife.

Before Arthur was born, King Uther had a prophecy from a certain 'succubus woman' that his son would later become a great figure to end the current crisis of the British Empire.

The son was the 'Arthur Pendragon' himself and as for the crisis intended was England itself.

Enemies that are the embodiment of England, White Dragon, Vortigern or arguably also ... Uncle Arthur.

Vortigern Pendragon was the brother of Uther Pendragon, but he was not satisfied when his royal throne fell to Uther.

It was the beginning of the crisis of the British Empire.

Disgruntled Vortigern tried various means to usurp the throne from Uther, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful.

It made Vortigern even crazier and eventually .... He fell into the darkness.

Vortigern became one of the evil dragons, the White Dragon. The White Dragon is said to be the embodiment of England, but also the one who will destroy England itself.

And the only one capable of ending White Dragon was Red Dragon Ddraig.

And Arthur Pendragon ... He's the Red Dragon, Ddraig.

Because of this, Arthur Pendragon has the Dragon Heart or dragon heart as the core (Core) of his magic, which makes Arthur's body Demi-Dragon.

The incredible physical body, the insane stamina, the seemingly endless supply of [mana] and the resistance of magic, all those abilities were from 'Dragon Heart'.

However, Arthur was still a baby at the time and for his safety and as the hope of England, Uther Pendragon asked the succubus woman to take care of Arthur who was accepted with pleasure.

'What a jerk dad. He's the one who caused this problem, but the one who has to take care of it is me.'

White Dragon Vortigern would not have been born if Uther Pendragon had willingly surrendered his throne.

But humans are selfish creatures. There was no way Uther wanted power even though he realized Vortigern was much better at handling government.

"Huh ..." Lux sighed.

"Sighing from earlier, you seem to be in trouble Arthur ~"

Just then, the voice of a charming and dazzling woman sounded. The sound was so soft it was enough to hypnotize people.

But because Lux's magic resistance was quite high, she was not too influential by the sound. Instead, the boy stared at the source of the voice while frowning.

"Merlin's."

The succubus woman who helped Uther to get forced love from Igraine and also the woman who could catch a glimpse of the future.

The Mage of Flowers or will be known as Lady Avalon as well as the original teacher/guard Arthur ... Merlin's.

Merlin was wearing a beautiful white robe, but the hood of the robe prevented Lux from seeing the woman's face.

But the charm of the woman did not diminish in the slightest. Even at night, his figure seemed to shine as if the moon loved him.

"Why just stand there? Are you surprised to see me go home? Fufu ... You must miss your beautiful sister, right? How else, let's hug me ~ "

Hearing that narcissistic and confident sentence, Lux was speechless, but saw Merlin open his arms wide, and looked like he was waiting for his embrace ... Lux sighed.

The boy hugged the older sister woman gently.

" ... Where have you been, Merlin?"

"Certainly confidential ~"

"You're such a bitch."

"Isn't that the perfect feature for me as a beautiful older sister ~"

" ... " Lux is silent.

But even though Lux was a little helpless, she had to admit that Merlin was basically indeed very beautiful. Not anymore, this woman has succubus blood.

Even Uther was fascinated and wanted to have Merlin become his woman which of course Merlin rejected him very 'softly'.

Yes, it is very 'soft' by changing the gender of Uther who is an old man into a beautiful adult woman. As a result, Uther no longer dared to mess with Merlin because he felt traumatized after being chased by dozens of old men who resembled 'Sugiono' grandfather'.

Despite all that, the truth is Lux really misses Merlin. Yes ... Not Arthur, but Lux himself.

Living life as Arthur for 9 years makes Lux depressed, only being near Merlin makes Lux can feel relaxed and calm, so that Lux can be, although Lux knows that all of Arthur's problems are mostly because of the woman. (Of course, he won't admit it clearly).

During this time, Merlin also taught Lux through dreams because as a succubus, Merlin could enter the dreams of others.

One of the unreliable of these women was rather than providing useful lessons in government affairs ... He is more concerned with the knowledge to be an honorable man towards women.

Funnily enough, Arthur took all of that seriously because he thought treating women gently was one way to become a perfect King.

Arthur's behavior also makes Merlin increasingly obsessed with teaching Arthur to be an honorable man.

Even Lux was slowly affected by Merlin's teachings.

Rather than raising her to be for the king, Merlin was more like raising Arthur to be her future husband.

' ... Is a succubus like Merlin beginning to be unable to hold back his lust?'

It would be funny if so ...

" ... Did you just think of something rude about me?"

" ... "

Lux looked at the gently smiling Merlin, but she felt a great danger from that smile ...

" ... Of course not, Merlin. I just think you're getting prettier by the day," Lux praised gently with a sincere smile.

"Eh? Did ya? Fufufu ~" Merlin laughed softly happily.

" ... "

Right now, Lux must thank Merlin herself for teaching him how to praise women.

And this may sound strange, but somehow only Merlin can behave normally in this simulation of Arthur's life.

Lux shook her head slowly then asked. "Thus ... Why are you back this time Merlin? There must be a reason you're back."

"Hm ~ can't I go home to see you? ~ "

" ... If I didn't recognize you clearly, I'd believe."

It's not like they haven't met for 9 years.

Physically Arthur and Merlin have not met for a long time, but they have met spiritually through a dream for 9 years.

Hearing Lux's remark, Merlin pouted, but she was still a little happy because this meant Lux knew very well about her.

"OK, okay. I'll say." Merlin cleared his throat for a moment then said 'somewhat' seriously. "This Arthur is the time for you."

" ... The timing?" Although he knew inside, but Lux's body automatically forced himself to act confused as if not knowing anything.

"That's ..."

At first Merlin hesitated then finally he decided to tell her what had happened all along.

About his identity, his birth, White Dragon Voltigern, and the prophecy (premonition) ...

There was nothing Merlin was hiding. He really said everything. Sure ... That doesn't include all the bad things he's done.

The woman cleverly hid her bad behavior and even gave signs as if she was a holy and kind-hearted being who never tried to play a man's heart ...

Realizing that, Lux was a little speechless, but she didn't really care because even though she knew, what could she do? His body was currently preventing him from moving freely.

"So that's how it is."

" ... "

There was a moment of silence after Merlin finished telling all that.

Just then, Lux's lips moved. "How strong is Uncle Vortigern?"

Merlin was silent for a moment and then said. "I could be killed easily by him."

'Can be killed easily ...'

Lux speechless. Merlin is sometimes unreliable, but that doesn't mean he's weak.

Merlin was strong enough to fight against hundreds of thousands of troops from various kingdoms without anyone's help, which showed just how powerful the Mage of Flowers was.

Only, against the White Dragon that was like the entire UK combined, Merlin was definitely not his opponent.

No longer, according to Merlin's description, Vortigern is powerful enough to destroy the world ...

But ...

"If it's physical strength, obviously I'm dead, but .. do you think I would voluntarily let a wild dragon attack me?" Merlin smiled.

Lux blinked then in the next second chuckled.

Yes ... No matter how strong Vortigern was, he would not be able to kill the cunning Merlin. This woman could even escape from a super over power elf, let alone a mere dragon.

Even if Vortigern annihilated this world, Merlin would be fine since he could escape to a place that was impossible for all creatures to reach.

"I've decided, Merlin. I ... Will choose to be King."

Merlin raised next to his eyebrows. "You sure? You tah–"

"I know what's going to happen to me and what it's going to be like, but I still chose this path. I want to be an existence that gives hope to those who are suffering. Besides, aren't you and Kay with me?"

" ... " Merlin blinked and somehow couldn't help but laugh softly. "Fufufu ~ fine because you have made your choice ... I will support you no matter what. Hah, this is the problem of being the perfect Big Sister ~"

"So stop like that."

"Can't be ~"

The king and the king laughed at each other.

"Then ... What am I supposed to do now, Merlin?" ask Lux seriously.

Merlin thought for a moment and said. "Have you ever heard of the sword of selection?"

"Selection sword?" Lux cringing. "Of course I've heard of it. If it is not wrong, it is a holy sword embedded in stone and whoever can draw it will be the king who leads England."

"Yes, that's what I mean ~ Then what do you think of that?"

"Isn't that too far-fetched?"

Lux obviously doesn't take this seriously. Merely, when he saw Merlin's joking expression, he asked hesitantly ...

"Don't say ... That right?"

" ... "

Lux seemed a little incredulous and the reaction managed to invite laughter from the flower witch.

"Yes, although this is unbelievable, but that's the truth. Since you were born, King Uther implemented this system, only those with Dragon hearts can pull it. Because that's ..."

Merlin snapped his magic wand and hundreds of pink flower petals instantly spread out beautifully.

"The only knight who can pull it is you, Arthur Pendragon."

...***...

"So it's a selection sword?"

Lux stared at a sword hilt, but the blade of the sword was blocked by the stone and for a moment, there was a majestic holy aura that could be felt from the sword.

"That's exactly ~ It's been 9 years people tried to pull it, but none of it worked. Even Kay can't ~"

"Eh? Even Kay?" Hearing that Kay once tried but failed, Lux is shocked.

"Clearly he failed. Although he was a strong knight, he did not have the blood of Pendragon and qualified to become King of ~"

Merlin walked gently and approached the sword on the stone, ", this is the holy sword that becomes the symbol of a king. Once withdrawn, he would bear the title of 'King of Knights'."

With that explanation, Lux began to approach the holy sword, but while being nearby, Lux somehow felt familiar as if the sword was part of her.

Lux involuntarily moved her hand about to hold the hilt of the sword, but Merlin's voice sounded once more ...

"This is my last warning. Once you draw that sword .. you will cease to be human, lose your feelings, and your life will end tragically, and more tragically than your father, Uther Pendragon.

Even though after hearing all this, you still want to unplug it?..."

" ... "

A glint of doubt flashed for a moment in Lux's emerald green eyes, but that doubt was immediately replaced with a look of decisiveness.

"The people need someone who can lead them and put an end to the White Dragon Voltigern and the only person capable of doing all that is I am Arthur Pendragon."

Without a doubt, Lux holds the handle of the holy sword then –

* wissh!! *

The sword that everyone could not pull had been drawn as easily as breathing by Arthur.

Just then, a beautiful glint of holy light shone through the entire place.

It is said Caliburn is a sword that is so dazzling that it makes people who see it become dazed and the rumors seem to be true.

Just looking at that sword, Lux's mind became dazed.

'This is ... Caliburn.'s.'

"From now on, you will be my partner, ."

As if responding to his words, the blade of the sword glowed, instantly enveloping Lux, and the light turned her into an inhuman figure.

As for the only eyewitness Merlin was also stunned. He was stunned not because of the sword but because he saw something that could not be seen.

' ... Awesome.'

He saw it ... The beauty of Lux's future is deep within her.

And this is ... The birth of the King of Knights.

...***...

[ Ding! Arthur Pendragon's experience-sharing process is complete! ]

Sensing the cold breeze coming down on his face, Lux (Arthur) slowly opened his eyes.

And deep in the iris of the emerald eye, there was a flash of calm before the storm.

"System ..."

[System here. Is there a Master problem? ]

"You didn't say anything about this."

She lived. No, he actually lived in that world as Arthur Pendragon and drowned in it.

Living for hundreds of years in the world was painful, very painful, but it was also very beautiful.

The talk, the joy and sorrow, the pain and the sadness, it's all real. Have fun with the Knights of the Round Table, and Merlin, Lady Vivian, and his wife, Guinevere. No doubt it was a precious memory belonging to King Arthur who was considered to not understand human feelings.

But precisely that was why it felt so painful to be left one by one by them.

Kay left, Merlin disappeared, Guinevere died, some members of the Knight of the Round Table also betrayed him, even his people no longer believed him until finally only he was left.

As for the ending, he was killed by Sir Mordred, the daughter he rejected as his descendant.

"Bad ending ..."

Lux (Arthur) covered her face. He realized it was just a hologram-like projection in a dream, but it still felt so stifling.

[Im sorry for the lack of information ]

"It's nothing. But then again, no more lack of information."

[ ... Understood ]

Lux (Arthur) sighed. He needed time to calm himself down and adjust his circumstances.

He tried to digest all the experiences he had just and the journey he could only describe in one word ...

'Crazy ...'

The fight against White Dragon Voltigern, the granting of the strongest holy sword that is and the sacred sword sheath Avalon of lady Vivian after being destroyed, the betrayal that Mordred committed, her wonderful time with Guinevere who was very sincere in love with her ...

The various events experienced by Arthur or Lux were simply events that could not be described in words.

Especially the original form of the sword ... Even Lux who was the author could not describe the beauty of the sword.

Of course, the release of the 'Rhongomyniad' spear was also an extraordinary event because the 'World End Spear' successfully annihilated the White Dragon Voltigern which at that time could make the world experience a disaster.

And more than that ...

"Morgan ... Le Fay."

Thinking of the figure of a graceful woman who was so infatuated with her even love for her when they were siblings, Lux (Arthur)'s gaze grew cold.

'I hope I won't meet you or I'm afraid my hand will slip and cut off his neck ...'

There is no doubt that the perpetrator of all Arthur Pendragon's troubles is Morgan Pendragon, his own older sister.

That woman is the one who destroys .

It was that woman who helped White Dragon Vortigern.

That woman gave birth to Mordred.

It was the woman who managed to drive away Merlin.

It was the woman who persuaded the members of the Knight of the Round Table.

That woman destroyed her power.

And that woman ... Who killed Guinevere.

But Lux (Arthur) knows that hate won't solve the problem. So he could only suppress his hatred for Morgan.

Moreover, the death of Guinevere and the others did not mean his actual death. The famous people who died in the time of Arthur, they basically just went back on and just waited until they were called as Servants.

... Except Merlin. There's no way that cunning woman's dead. He might be somewhere that no human could reach while looking for something that could be his entertainment.

'I want to know the state of the woman now ...'

Oh, surely the woman's condition goes beyond the word 'good'. Maybe you are having fun when you witness the troubled life of a certain human being.

Almost forgot, actually in addition to being able to see a glimpse of the future, the fact is that Merlin can also be the present or the present freely.

"Forget it, I still have a Lady that I must protect."

He fails to protect his wife (Guinevere), but at least he can protect the Main Heroine in this world.

'But before that ... [Status]'

...

If previously, Lux (Arthur) might have been quite surprised to see this somewhat 'broken' parameter, but as a writer who has set the paramater, characters, let alone given Arthur's life, the level of this parameter is very reasonable.

Still, despite knowing such a paramater was natural to Arthur Pendragon, Lux (Arthur) still could not help but sigh.

No wonder the Artria Pendragon is so much weaker than Arthur Pendragon because a paramater like this Arthur Pendragon could rule the world if he wanted to.

With and Noble Phantasm EX, it was not impossible. It's just ...

'One Noble Phantasm is unknown, huh?...'

Finding that there is a list written by his name, the expression Lux (Arthur) does not change much.

He already knew what kind of Noble Phantasm it was but had to obtain it himself by manual since the Noble Phantasm was in the hands of others.

But it doesn't matter to Lux (Arthur) who is a writer, he knows who the person who owns the Noble Phantasm is, it only takes a little time before he gets it.

By the way, see skill ... Perhaps with this skill, he could find a stable income in this world.

'Although it feels a little strange to think of a King having gambling experience ...'

In Arthur's experience, members of the Knight of the Round Table (KotRT) once invited him to play several gambling games, unexpected, in addition to being undefeated in battle, Arthur is also unbeatable in gambling.

'Very nostalgic ...'

But the past is the past, he cannot be influenced by the experiences of others. Yeah ... Although now Lux can also be considered as Arthur because it has felt for itself the life of the King of England.

Shaking lightly, Lux (Arthur) erased the unimportant things in her mind.

Now, there's something more important, it's ... Help and protect Roxanne as a Servant before returning to her main world.

Lux (Arthur) back into kamal. In this one day there are a lot of things going on and making him want to rest for a while ...
