Once Ha Joon made it back to the main capital with his subjects and had presented the 40 billion eres to Artoria... he met with someone who he hadn't seen in a long time.
Gwenevere, the personal maid of Lady Morgana.
Moments before he was about to enter his chamber, she called him to the side to tell him something she had overheard, although Ha Joon didn't take to her at first, the look on her face seemed serious..
"The knights are trying to kill you." She says.
It turned out she had overheard Belinda and Lancelot when they were about taking Ha Joon out of the picture when she had been passing by Artoria's office.
But since Ha Joon was out of the capital at the time, she waited for his arrival, before she told him directly.
But of course she didn't do this without any ulterior motive. As soon as she told Ha Joon what she had heard, she went to her knees and requested he make her his personal maid instead of Yukio.
"I'll get back to you." Was simply Ha Joon's reply, before walking away.
Now he knew he had enemies within the knights, this was when he also realized it wasn't just the knights, but also almost all of Camelot, excluding the beast clan– but they didn't always respect him.
They only respected him as such after he single handedly defeated their demigod.
To make matters worse, he noticed Zex had managed to sneak into the capital, and somehow, the knights didn't figure it out.
They were relaxed. For a single person to be able to sneak into the main capital just like that... was simply because they depended way too much on the roundtable knights.
His plan only came into confirmation after he spoke to Sinex and realized – this was the best course of action if Camelot was ever going to grow.
Firstly, he needed a way to get close to the goddess and acquire as much information as possible, in case she ever attacked.
Secondly, he needed a way, a scenario where Artoria would be viewed as the ultimate savior, for the people of Camelot to realize, they can't do anything without Artoria. But for that, he needed to push Artoria to the wall, and make her fight back with all she had. Camelot needed to be sucked of all hope.
Back at the capital, the knights had begun searching the place endlessly for the Red Wings, Artoria leading the charge.
She was already pissed about the fact they attacked and she didn't know about it, and to add to that, the fact she had to be the one to send Ha Joon to jail was eating her up... she needed a reason to kill, and this was as good as any.
Mordred gathered her knights and did the same, she already knew Sinex and Yukio were going to meet Ha Joon, now all she needed to do was kill the intruders and then she would make sure Ha Joon never returned to that jailhouse again.
Merlin and her mages were still trying to break the barriers, even from the outside, people from the other side had begun to panic after a mysterious barrier covered Camelot main capital.
All in all, the game was set, and Red wings had strategically stationed themselves all around the main capital, watching as the Knights and soldiers of great Camelot were looking for them.
Scorpion stood atop the tallest building, his arms folded as he looked directly at Artoria.
"Let the games begin."
"Should we attack?" Asked 004.
Scorpion kept quiet for a while, and with a smirk he replied, "Kill every single one of the civilians and knights, but no one is to touch the king...she is mine."
"As you wish." 004 stood up, and immediately signaled the rest.
This all nodded their heads, understanding the message.
Finally - they were prepared to bring Camelot to the ground.
