Chapter 2173 - 1095: I Really Am the Witch of the Forest
The Moon Rabbit Knight is still reliable.
Well, at least more reliable than her often overconfident best friend.
Lancelot was pulled in front of Dorothy and her group by Guinevere, but upon hearing Her Majesty the Queen ask to recommend the Homebody Witch as a judge, she frowned slightly.
Although she was a million times willing to help, and had no objection to letting Dorothy take her place as the head of the judging panel for this competition, as a reliable adult witch, she knew that unsolicited kindness was either for ulterior motives or theft.
Dorothy was inherently somewhat suspicious in nature, and being accustomed to solitude, she didn’t like owing favors to strangers. If she took the initiative to offer, Dorothy would definitely overthink it, just like they were now suspecting Guinevere of having hidden motives.
So, she needed to play hard to get.
At that moment, the Moon Rabbit Knight sharply examined Dorothy, as if evaluating whether she truly had the qualifications to serve as a competition judge. The more she looked, the more her brows knitted tightly.
"Um, Guinevere, you..."
She pretended to be somewhat troubled, clearly indicating that Dorothy’s strength did not meet her requirements, yet she was embarrassed to directly refuse Guinevere’s request.
Hmm, Lancelot had already pulled out the best acting skills of her life.
"Tsk, as a Knight, I was originally only supposed to charge and fight, but ever since becoming logistic support, there are so many things to consider."
She was quietly complaining to herself.
She was a martial artist, straightforward and simple by nature, not fond of roundabout thinking. But even the most straightforward Knight, when encountering Guinevere as a best friend, would be honed to be smooth, as practice makes perfect, knowing that cleaning up after others is indeed troublesome and requires careful consideration.
"I wish I had the acting skills of that guy Arthur."
Lancelot thought of her old rival but quickly shook her head.
Forget it, that guy’s acting is already beyond acting, after all, he’s someone who, to ensure perfect performance without giving himself away, could be ruthless enough to seal his own memory.
That seemingly perfect, nearly second Nidhogg-like persona of the Round Table Knights’ Leader was flawed by obsession.
In short, Arthur is a perfectionist, with advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder, and a stubborn mule.
While this flaw often isn’t a flaw but an advantage, as extreme obsession can sometimes be seen as extreme dedication; once there’s a goal set, she would achieve it with a self-discipline unimaginable to ordinary people.
However, at times, being too focused is actually a fatal flaw. For instance, people like this won’t listen to advice, having an extremely self-centered personality, obstinately believing their path is correct, proceeding in a single-minded way, ultimately making decisions incomprehensible to others.
She genuinely doesn’t understand how to empathize with others or think from another’s perspective, always imposing her standards on others.
Such a person, who doesn’t understand the human heart, is actually not suitable to hold a high position, otherwise, the group would be dragged down sooner or later by her, fortunately, she has Nidhogg and Sister Morgan above her, only with these two would Arthur, this obsessive person, listen to a bit.
Besides Yemengade, the Embodiment of Emora, Arthur was the second Dragon Head of the Round Table to come into contact with Dorothy, which made her very pressured, feeling she had to handle everything perfectly, but she feared her obsessive-compulsive disorder would flare up and make her do something irrational while interacting with Dorothy. Then, under the admiring gaze of the Dragon Heads, she resolutely had Morgan seal her memory, and finally acted genuinely.
What a ruthless person, even Lancelot, who always viewed Arthur as a rival, had to admit she couldn’t act so ruthlessly.
After all, it’s hard to come by an opportunity to interact with Dorothy. Who wouldn’t want to make a good impression in front of their little sister? And if the memory is sealed and it’s all business, then they might end up ignoring their sister, as Dorothy is still a little weakling, generally not catching their eye, and if it were more extreme, might even think the sister is too arrogant, eventually clashing or something.
Thinking about this, it does seem a bit too scary.
Yet, the probability of this happening is quite high. After all, each of them in this group of Dragon Heads is considered eccentric by ordinary people and not easy to get along with. Sometimes, even the Dragon Heads dislike each other, let alone outsiders.
However, according to Arthur after she lifted the seal, such equal and naturally unintentional interactions have their own charm, like a first love where two people forget everything and start over, unexpectedly quite wonderful.
One can only say Arthur indeed lives up to being the backbone of the Conservative Faction, truly capable of enduring pure love.
If members of the Radical Faction came over, she and Guinevere were actually already the Conservative Faction among the radicals, they just wanted to be nicer to their sister. If the extreme Gawain came over, by now, they might have to search the basements of Camelot City to find Dorothy.
"Lancelot, you..."
Seeing her best friend not helping this time and acting so troubled when she asked for help, Guinevere herself got angry first.
