Later that day.
Ha Joon was dressed, his jacket hung loosely from his shoulder, its sleeves trailing behind him.
Looking at the mirror, he smiled, "I'd fall in love with me if I could."
He turned his attention to Sinex and Yukio who were waiting for him at the entrance of the door.
Ha Joon planned to meet with Artoria and the rest, since they didn't know he was awake, nor did the people of Camelot.
"Hai hai, let's go."
He led the way, reaching for the door while Yukio and Sinex followed behind him.
Once he opened, Ha Joon was immediately greeted with the sight of a maid cleaning the hallway.
The maid paused, taking a second to take in the fine man standing in front of her.
"L..lord Ha Joon." She muttered out, her face turning red.
"Good morning, keep up the good work." Ha Joon nodded, walking past her while Yukio and Sinex gave her the stink eyes.
But just as he was walking away, the maid suddenly did something he never expected.
She sprinted towards the window, her head sticking out before she yelled -
"Lord Ha Joon is awake!!! Lord Ha Joon is awake!!!"
Ha Joon veered around instantly, "What the hell?!" His face hitched with shock.
The ground rumbled as footsteps approached towards his location.
Ha Joon moved towards the window, and there, he could see the people gathering outside the castle, knights, civilians, even the other workers in the castle.
His mouth hung low, surprised at how they were increasing in numbers in a short amount of time.
"Ha jooonnnnnnnnnnn~~~"
He immediately looked to his left to see Merlin and Artoria.
Merlin sprinted towards him, hugging Ha Joon, her boobs pressing against his face.
"My babyyyy~ you made momma so worried, how are you? Are you feeling better? Does it hurt anywhere?" Merlin kept throwing questions.
"So what's up Artoria, did you take care of the main capital while I was unconscious?" Ha Joon brought up a topic.
"No." Artoria gave a short reply.
"No?"
"I didn't want to make any decision without consulting you first."
This time, the expression on Artoria's face was earnest.
'I see, so I was right. She's beating herself up for what happened, but she can't feel it since she views me as ... as what exactly?'.
"Is that so? So no changes have been made to the main capital then? How were you able to accommodate that many people? I don't want to believe people willingly opened up their homes to strangers." Ha Joon was curious.
"Merlin took care of that, and the knights also, the rented apartments and camp houses for the soldiers took care of that. And the farm sent in food also, although I was shocked at how many we had, in summary, there wasn't any issue."
Ha Joon smiled, "I see."
He looked at Merlin who didn't seem like she was the least bit interested in what they were talking about.
'They are finally stepping up, that's good.'
"So let's focus on rebuilding the main capital then, I'm sure we can get it done in-"
"That can wait, there's something I want to tell you." Artoria chimed in, standing to her feet.
"Eh?" Ha Joon was a bit surprised.
Artoria began to move closer to him.
"Eh?" He blurted out again.
Completely ignoring Merlin, Artoria placed her leg on the chair, and stood close to Ha Joon, using her hands to cup his cheeks and tilted his head towards her gaze.
"Artoria?" Ha Joon was too stunned.
"While you were asleep, I was thinking..."
Artoria spoke, her golden hair falling, some already lingering on Ha Joon's face, but at the moment, the beautiful red expression on Artoria's face was hard for him to ignore.
"At first I thought it was because I wanted you to be king, which is still one of the reasons... but what I want even more is to claim you first..."
She moved even closer, her lips only a hairs length away from his.
"I don't think it's fair that you give all these women attention, did you forget I was the one that found you first? You can say I'm jealous, I have no issue admitting it, but my request... is that you marry me, because, I Artoria Pendragon, propose to you, will you be my husband?".
