Mordred had always craved Artoria's acknowledgment but feared being rejected for her true origins.

That's why she had been susceptible to Morgan's manipulations.

But now, looking at the carnage around them—she was filled with guilt.

If she hadn't rebelled, perhaps Britain wouldn't be in this state.

Roy understood their feelings. Although they had reconciled, the consequences of their actions weighed heavily on their hearts.

He gently patted their heads and said, "Don't blame yourselves anymore. What's done is done. And besides, it's not like we can't change the past."

"What? Roy, do you have a way?" Artoria asked, her eyes widening with hope.

"Roy, what can we do?" Mordred also chimed in.

"Of course I do. But I'll need a little reward first," Roy said with a playful grin, pointing at his cheeks.

Artoria and Mordred understood. They blushed and kissed him on the cheeks.

Roy beamed.

He then looked towards the void and called out, "Alaya!"

"Master, what is it?" Alaya appeared before him in a flash of light.

"Can you turn back time in this world?" Roy asked.

His plan was to reverse time, preventing the battle between Artoria and Mordred and saving countless lives.

"That..."

"Is it difficult?" Roy was surprised.

As the consciousness of humanity, Alaya should be able to do that easily.

"It's possible, but I need Gaia's help," Alaya explained.

She was only the will of humanity. To reverse time, she needed the cooperation of Gaia, the will of the planet.

"That's easy. Gaia, come out here!" Roy snapped his fingers, and Gaia appeared beside Alaya.

"You heard what I said, right?"

"Yes, Master," Gaia replied.

"Then work with Alaya and turn back time."

"Yes, Master."

"How far back can you turn back time?" Roy asked.

Alaya and Gaia exchanged glances.

"About a month," Alaya replied.

"A month... That's enough. Go ahead," Roy said with a wave of his hand.

"Roy, are you sure about this?" Artoria asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. If we go back a month, your battle with Mordred shouldn't have started yet," Roy reassured her.

"I hope so," Artoria said with a nod.

"To reverse the flow of time for an entire world—It's incredible," Rin commented in awe. She had never imagined such a thing was possible.

"Heh, Onee-chan, this is just the beginning. There are many more incredible things to come," Sakura said with a giggle. She was used to Roy's extraordinary abilities.

Alaya and Gaia began the ritual.

A transparent white barrier enveloped them, and the world around them started to rewind.

Plants, trees, even the fallen soldiers were revived.

The battlefield they were on gradually reverted to its original state, as if the war had never reached this place.

The sun and moon also reversed their course, day and night alternating rapidly.

It was a mesmerizing sight.

Only those within the white barrier remained unaffected.

After a while, the world finally stopped changing.

"Master, it's done," Alaya reported, looking slightly exhausted.

"Good work. You two go and rest now," Roy said with a smile, patting their heads.

"Yes, Master," they replied and disappeared.

Artoria and Mordred were both excited and apprehensive.

"Did we really go back in time?" Artoria asked.

"Let's go to the city and see for ourselves," Roy suggested with a grin.

He opened a portal, and they vanished.

...

They reappeared in the capital city of Britain.

Artoria, still wearing her blue battle dress, was immediately recognized by the citizens.

They knelt before her, their eyes filled with admiration and respect.

King Arthur was a beloved ruler in the eyes of her people.

People often said that Artoria didn't understand the human heart, but they didn't realize how many people she had won over with her charisma and leadership.

Artoria—seeing the citizens bowing before her, felt a surge of pride.

She had witnessed this many times before, so she simply waved to them with a smile.

This confirmed that they had indeed traveled back in time.

Otherwise, the capital wouldn't be so peaceful.

"Let's go to the castle," Roy said, noticing Artoria's excitement.

Artoria, seeing the peaceful capital, was eager to see the situation in the castle.

But hearing Roy's words, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"Let's go."

She led the way, and they headed towards the castle.

"Your Majesty, you've returned," a knight with golden hair exclaimed, kneeling before Artoria.

"Gawain, Rise," Artoria said, pleased to see him.

Gawain was one of her nephews and one of the wisest knights of the Round Table.

"Your Majesty, who are these people?" Gawain asked, looking at Roy and the others curiously.

"They are my friends—" Artoria explained briefly, then continued towards the castle.

Gawain, although still confused, didn't stop them.

...

Inside the castle, Artoria learned about the current situation.

Britain was still facing threats from external enemies, and Lancelot's betrayal had weakened the kingdom significantly.

Britain was on the verge of collapse.

It was no wonder Mordred's rebellion had succeeded so easily.

Artoria, understanding the gravity of the situation, fell into deep thought. But she couldn't come up with a solution.

Mordred's true reason for rebelling was Morgan's manipulation. Even without Mordred, Morgan would still instigate a civil war.

And defeating Morgan without bloodshed would be difficult.

Morgan was Artoria's sister and a powerful mage in her own right.

She had also desired to be king.

But Artoria was destined to be king from birth. Morgan couldn't compete with that.

That's why she resented Artoria and plotted against her.

Seeing Artoria's troubled expression, Roy gently patted her head.

Artoria blinked, then leaned into his touch.

"Don't worry about it, Arturia. You have me now. Leave everything to me," Roy reassured her.

"Okay," Artoria replied with a smile and a nod.

To bring peace to Britain and resolve all internal and external conflicts seemed like a daunting task.

But for Roy, it was simple.

First, he had to solve the internal problem: Morgan.

Once she was dealt with, Britain could unite against external threats.

Roy shared his plan, and the girls agreed.

"But..." Artoria hesitated. Morgan was powerful and had many followers. It wouldn't be easy to defeat her.

"Don't worry. Leave it to me," Roy said confidently.

"Okay." Artoria nodded, reassured.@@novelbin@@

With the plan set, Roy didn't waste any time.

He took Scathach and the others to Morgan's castle.

...

"Has King Arthur returned?" a mature woman asked coldly, sitting on a throne in a grand hall within the castle.

A knight knelt before her.

"Yes, Morgan-sama," the knight replied.

"Leave," Morgan dismissed him with a wave of her hand.

The hall fell silent.

Morgan closed her eyes, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a magic circle appeared in the hall, startling her.

She narrowed her eyes, surprised but calm. She simply waited.

The magic circle glowed brightly.

Several figures materialized within the hall.

It was Roy and the others.

"You must be Morgan," Roy said, observing her with interest.

Morgan looked strikingly similar to Artoria, almost like they were carved from the same mold.

But Morgan was more mature, with a tall, voluptuous figure that exuded an alluring charm.

Compared to her, Artoria was like a child.

Roy hadn't expected Morgan to be so attractive.

He was intrigued.
