Hello everyone it is I, Shitty Fanfic Author here and I bring you a new arc.

What's it gonna be about? Artorias misadventures? New girls added to the harem?....no idea, but but I'll say this let the second Arc begi...wait...shit is this the third or second one?...whatever I'm the Author of this so I say Let the second Arc commence!

Last but not least I'm gonna start referring the Barbarians as Saxon, and changing Artoria to Altria(since it's easier to type).

"Milord, I've received the reports from the local militia saying that a few of commoners from the western border them have defected to the saxons" with his lords gaze the butler continues "Along with the occasional revolts from the commoners King Uther has given you a letter, milord".

Handling the letter that has the seal of the Pendragon house, Lord Welch, opens it with a small frown at reading the Kings order. With a tired sigh he rubs his temple before ordering his loyal butler to lead the upcoming squire that was left in his care.

Looking at the amount of paperwork he had to go through he sighs while contemplating on why he hadn't chosen other trusted servants to help him, "Right, if King Uther was right as he suspected, then Vortigern most likely had some sympathizers thus sabotaging whatever supplies we have to support the frontline". Gazing at the rising sun he murmurs "May the Lord be with us".

"Are you sure this information correct?" The stern man asks the servant who remains unflinching from his gaze. "Very well, see to it that you aren't found and executed by the next month" with a quick bow he leaves making the man frown as the servant leaves to go back before he's found.

"Forgive me my Lord and King for betraying your trust, but it must be done for Britain to prosper".

Artoria P.O.V

Looking back at the two years I spend training as a knight, sharpening my skills with the sword and coercing Merlin to teach me Illusion and transformation magic, after all with the potent blood of the dragons coursing through me has led for a few scales to grown in places that are a tad harder to hide, annoying as it is to deal with I can say that with age my magic has grown, of course my level of control isn't on the likes of Merlin, Morgan or god forbid Vivian who I later learned is quiet the tsundere.

But I digress, being led to the Lord of this land by an old butler I can't help but secretly grin at what I'm planning on doing while 'serving' as a squire, sure I may have given a tad bit of information to Vortigens spies to accelerate a certain part of my objective or just so I can see bloodshed...wow Vivian hatred of man has been rubbing of on me huh?.

Anyhow as I was saying, for the past two years since I learned from Ector that Uther assigned me to be under Lord Welch, an Earl who happens to be on the frontlines against Vortigern men and the Saxons, against such foes one must wonder 'How much resources must Brittania waste to combat the ensuing and relentless horde?' The answer, is a lot, and with the dissatisfaction of the peasants under his rule, well like I've read and heard in books of the modern world to what it leads to, they revolt, betraying their kingdom for Vortigerns idea...much as I hate to admit it since my current self doesn't have much influence as I'm yet to be King Arthur, but that damn warlord influence sure is useful to manipulate the masses.

But enough of that, kneeling before my suppose 'Lord' and his wife who catches my attention, Beautiful, but unlike Vivian ethereal or Morgan's cuteness she has none of the exotic traits of a none human, making her in my eyes another noblewoman, but whose to say I don't desire her? Is it to soothe my Dragons self by cucking Lord Welch? Absolutely.

Third P.O.V

Mildly watching the the squire kneel before him Welch smiles, not a mocking one but of his etiquette that can only be seen with years of practice.

"We come in peace, My Lord" with Sir Kay kneeling before him, his expression turns serious, it's not every day that the famous and rising star Sir Kay visits you.

"Very well then, to what do I owe the pleasure for Sir Kay to be here"

"I have brought you a squire that shall learn from you, My Lord" with a thoughtful look he eyes the scrawny looking knight in training before answering.

"If he's learning to be a knight, then isn't better to nourish such scrawny body lest he die while training?"

Almost stifling a laugh at what the Lord said, Kay could only wonder what would he think if he knew that within such thin body lay a Dragon ready to crush and dominate its foes with sadistic delight. "Not at all, My Lord, his body may delude one of being weak but I can attest to his skills as I seen them first hand" and it ain't a lie since he experience how crushing his sister is until he realized she was cheating by reinforcing herself with magic, and when they fought although she was pushed back and he lost, he can safely say that he beaten his sister so that he can brag about it in the future when she makes a name for herself,

"Oh? For Sir Kay to praise a brat that's only lived for twelve winter, then I take it that he has the minimum knowledge of a servant, Sir Kay?" Much to the surprise of the Lord, his wife asks while eyeing Altria with an amused gaze, much to the dismay of Kay before lying through his teeth.

"Of course, My Lady" a half truth since for the life of him he can't understand why Altria is particularly stubborn when it comes to this type of work, better yet how she fails so badly that even his mother gave up on her, but it ain't a lie since she has more than the minimum knowledge for such miscellaneous tasks much to the bewilderment of his mom.

Contemplating before mischievously smiling the Countess of the land gets up and eyes Altria with a glint "Very well, I shall have him attend my needs, is that alright with you my dear?" Much to the lords dismay but he agrees to humor his wife's plan. "Let it be known that I teach with wit and ploys, are you ready to be my squire?".

"Yes, My Lady" inwardly sighing in relief that his sister didn't make a snarky comeback or something similar out of sheer pride and stubbornness to be below someone.

"Good, now come along I have much to teach you" with that she left with Altria tagging behind before the Lord with a small wave of his hand orders the Butler to leave them.

"Well then, Sir Kay are you gonna be staying in the front lines, the knights and the militia could really use someone such as yourself to bolster their low morale"

"As much as I want to help my fellow man I still have yet to complete my mission assigned my King Uther" with an understanding nod Kay leaves but the Welch wonders why he had such a bad premonition.
