Chapter 106: Excalibur's curse!
After Artoria had made her announcement and the guests all expressed their support and care, they all enjoyed the rest of the party and left once it was over.
The date of when the wedding would be held wasn't announced, but they knew they would get the invitation card when the time arrived.
Later that night...
Valyrxa was seated in his moving carriage, two of his female maids accompanying him as he headed back to the Welfor kingdom.
He had long brown hair with brown eyes to match. With two earrings adorned on each ear and a black glove on his right hand, it was no wonder he became famous with the ladies.
"Artoria Pendragon herself has decided to get married. Hmm, that's quite the news, not something I expected to ever hear," Valyrxa said as he stared outside the window.
"I believe it was due to the fact the young man saved the kingdom. She is probably trying to repay him," one of the maids spoke.
"Oh no, I know her very well. She isn't the type to get married to someone just to repay a debt." Valyrxa smiled, "She genuinely cares for that man... ahh, how infuriating."
The two maids stared at each other, clearly seeing the irritation growing on their master's face.
He suddenly sighed, "In any case, I should report this to Father. I'm sure he'll be curious about this."

Hmmm~
"Mer...lin wa...it"
Hhmmm~
"Shush, hmmm~ you talk too much." Merlin mumbled as she kissed Ha Joon in the hallway of the castle, his back pressed against the wall.
After the ceremony, he wanted to head back to his room since it was nighttime, unaware that Merlin was waiting to ambush him in front of his room.
Merlin kept kissing him, their lips caressing one another as she rubbed her hand on the dick print on his trousers.
Finding the strength within him to fight the temptation, Ha Joon slightly pushed Merlin away, panting a bit.
"Awww, why did we stop?" she asked, placing her finger between her lips.
"Because we are out in public, literally anyone can walk by us. Come on." Ha Joon sighed, "Feels weird being the one doing the rejecting."
"Aww, you're no fun." Merlin smiled as she tapped his nose with her finger. "I wonder when you'll touch me like you did your maid."
Ha Joon's face turned a bit red, "You were watching?!"
Hahaha!
"The door was open, what did you expect?" Merlin sighed with a bit of laughter. "Don't worry, it was only me."
Ha Joon gave a relieved sigh.
"I think Artoria is still discussing with the rest of the nobles. Poor girl must be answering questions left and right." Merlin looked at the end of the hall, her hand on her hips, "Then again, she did just announce she was getting married to Camelot's favorite man, without an engagement."
"I don't care either way, to be honest, but if I do become king, a lot of things will have to change in Camelot."
"You can change me... anytime~" Merlin moved closer, her fingers playing on Ha Joon's chest.
'This woman is really trying to tempt me to do—'
[A new main quest has been issued.]
[Main quest: Break Excalibur's curse.]
[Objective: The King of Camelot feels restricted due to the holy sword Excalibur. Break the curse and give her the freedom she seeks.]
Nervousness was plastered on Ha Joon's face, 'It's about that time, isn't it?'
[Would you like me to archive this quest?]
'Nah, I planned to handle it anyway. This is a better time than any.'
Ha Joon pushed Merlin back again, "Merlin, quick question, what do you know about Excalibur's curse?"
"Excalibur's curse?" Merlin was confused at first, but then she placed a finger on her cheek and looked to the side, "Oh my, don't tell me you're planning on breaking it. Isn't that cute? If that's the case, obviously I won't be doing this for free."
Kak!
Ha Joon was shocked.
'This freaking woman, I knew it. She already knew that I knew that she knew I knew about the Excalibur curse, and now she's just playing games with me….'
"I don't know why you still asked, but hey, it's a good tactic. I'll help you since I've gathered some information about it, but you'll have to come to my workshop tomorrow." Merlin moved back a bit, about to walk away.
"Any chance you won't drain me for this information?" Ha Joon could already tell where this was leading.
"I guess you'll just have to find out." Merlin sent an air kiss before walking away.
[Would you like me to also access the search engine regarding Excalibur's curse?]
'Yeah, thanks, Ciel.' He was exhausted.
.....
The next day.
Ha Joon was in the middle of the room, doing his regular push-ups and body workout.
[You have gained +6 vitality]
[You have gained +9 strength]
The system kept updating him about his stats.
Taking one last push-up, he decided to end it and sit on the ground, his back resting on the bed frame.
[Here is today's stat update:]
[Strength: 2006890
Agility: 1769020
Intelligence: 123788
Vitality: 8928921.]
'Taming Ishtar really boosted my stats..all in a day's work, I guess.'
Ha Joon stood up.
Looking down, he noticed the weight pulling down his boxers. It was his massive meat.
'Now that I think about it, has my dick been growing by itself?' he thought to himself, his hand grabbing it with the fabric as he began to assess it.
"Whatcha doing, love?"
Ahhh!
Ha Joon flinched, veering around to see Sinex bent on the window frame with multiple pieces of bread in her arms.
"I told you to stop sneaking up on me like that! And did you steal all those from the kitchen?!" he yelled as he pointed at her.
"Nuh-uh! Yukio gave them to me after I helped her look for her stray cat." Sinex moved the bread away, as if Ha Joon could snatch it from her.
Ha Joon sighed, "The two of you…."
"Hmmm! Oh, by the way, love, come. I have to show you something. It's pretty freaky!"
