I, the Weakest Traveler, Start by Taming the gods of the Old World.
Chapter 36: I'll do it.

"Artoria, you don't get it, this girl, Mordred, she's a thorn, don't you like your castle? Put us in the same room and I swear we'll bring everything to the ground." Ha Joon voiced out, kneeling on the bed while his arms gestured.

Artoria sighed, and then she walked towards the bed and sat close to him.

"I know Mordred can be …an issue, but she has been with me for more than 60 years, I don't-"

"Eh?".

"What is it?" Artoria noticed the expression on Ha Joon's face.

"You're 60?" he asked.

"Is that a problem?" Artoria gave him a deadpanish expression.

"No no, of course not, it's just, uhmm,.." Ha Joon looked to the side.

'What the hell? 60? I could have sworn she said I arrived 8 years after she turned 13? Didn't she? Shi, and I can't go mentioning that now or she'll know I was spying on her and Merlin when they were bathing!!!'.

"Are you alright? Don't tell me you're still having aches." Artoria moved closer.

"Sigh, I'm fine, go on with the story you wanted to tell me." Ha Joon looked to the ground with a sad face.

"Right. I believe I once mentioned I was the only one worthy enough to pull Excalibur from the rock." She began, reaching for the wet clothes on the table and rubbing it around Ha Joon's body.

"Yeah, I remember that."

"My father was disappointed at the fact his one and only child was a female, it didn't help that my mother died during my birth. He couldn't bring himself to marry another woman, so he blindly raised me to be his successor."

She continued…

"I was put to training at a young age, cut of from all males in an effort to stop me from falling for any of them, or so I could be the one to pull Excalibur from the rock, but at a price, I couldn't conceive as long as I wielded Excalibur.

I can't be touched by a man, I'll be deemed unfit…and stripped of my authority, I can't be overwhelmed with corruption, or I'll be unworthy, I can't kill a pure soul, I'll be unworthy." She spoke.

'I knew this world was like an alternate of the one I knew, but having so many restrictions on a single weapon?! That's crazy no matter how you look at it. It's a holy blade, not a deal with the devil.' Ha Joon looked at Artoria, almost bewildered.

"Merlin was the only I could tell this to, and my step sister Morgana. I could never dream of giving up Excalibur, my place and destiny is to rule Camelot, hence, I could not have a child by blood to be next in line. Merlin took matters into her hands and made a clone of me, using my eggs."

'Damn.'

"Although I was angered when I found out, so angry I completely neglected Mordred, but she was still from my body, at the time I realized this, it was already too late, we had already drifted too far apart."

Ha Joon looked at Artoria, the clear sadness forming on her face was evident, but he knew she was also trying to hide it.

"Even if I can't be there for her, I know you of all people can make her feel loved. I don't have a chance at ever replace that kind, so if you give her the-"

"Because you want to continue ruling as king." Ha Joon interrupted.

"Well indeed. I can't be involved with-"

"Bullshit!!!" Ha Joon grabbed her by the arm and tugged her close, "To wield Excalibur you decide not to love? That's insane, even for me! I'll let you have it right now, I want nothing more than to sleep between your thighs and have you crush my head with them, and that's me being generous, and I'll be damned if I let some golden sword stop me from doing that."

He pulled her even closer again-

"And obviously you know what I've been doing to Merlin, and you want me to do the same thing to you. Tell me I'm lying?! Do not fret, I am a man of my word, I'll replace a way to fix this demonic ass contract you have with your sword, and then, I'll put my babies in you." Ha Joon said with a serious face.

Artoria was left speechless, her face turning beet red by the second, it was as if she was going to explode where she sat.

"So be ready, I won't hear any excuses." Ha Joon leaped from the bed and began to exit the room.

"And yeah, I'll get Mordred to be my bodyguard, and maybe I'll even get the maid to be my secretary too… two birds with one stone".

And with that, he was gone.

Once he left, Artoria was still frozen in a spot, her face glowing red.

Slowly, she moved her hand towards her mouth before falling to the bed.

That was the first time she had seen Ha Joon like that.

'How did he know?' Artoria whispered to herself, grabbing the bed sheet while she shook her legs like a teenage girl.

She could still hear Ha Joon's words echoing inside her ear, and the more it did, the more it felt like her heart was going to leap out of her chest.

All in all, she knew one thing for certain, Ha Joon and made a promise to hers, even though it sounded almost impossible, her delusions and feelings for him got the better of her.

…

{Special room, Round table meeting}

One step after the other, Morded drew closer to the giant door at the end of the hall. Her blade behind her back, and her hair, swaying back and forth.

She stood in front of it for a while, and with a deep breath, she grabbed the knob and pushed it open.

Looking in as the bright light began to dim, she could see them; all 12 of the strongest knights in Camelot, seated on the round table.
