章節 1238: Happy Birthday, Arthur

As the looming armies approached, Arthur stood before his citizens of Runera, his figure a bastion against the coming storm. His voice, powerful and clear, carried across the gathered crowd, echoing off the city walls.

"My people," Arthur began, his gaze sweeping over the faces turned toward him, "tonight, we stand on the brink of a tremendous change. I have made a decision, one that has brought the world to our doorstep, not in friendship, but in battle." He paused, the weight of his next words settling in the silent air. "I seek to merge our world with another, to bring forth a new era. This is not for power or glory, but for love—for a heart that has been waiting for me across the centuries."
