Kay one day took Arthur's sword and offered to give it back to him if he crushed an apple with a stick, blindfolded and in the middle of various gorge on one of several platforms which Arthur somehow did with ease. Kay was furious at Arthur's skill and tossed the sword at him which lead to Arthur falling down unfazed while Kay was smiling. However, Arthur was saved by a strange Holy Knight and who was shocked and amazed at how Arthur was brave and fearless when falling to his doom, and to forgive his brother, even telling him he should be a king instead of a Holy Knight like his father. Arthur was shocked until it was revealed that he was Bartra Liones, the 11th king of Liones as he wonder that he's never going to be a Holy Knight.

During the Introduction arc, Arthur is rumored to have just became the new king of Camelot by the drinking patrons at Boar Hat in the small town of Bernia. In Camelot, a giant sword fell from the sky to the earth, where people believed that it was a holy sword from God. Every Holy Knight tried to pull it out, but they all failed until Arthur came and successfully pulled the sword, making him the new king of Camelot.

At some of point in time, Arthur met Merlin, the Boar's Sin of Gluttony who became his teacher and resolved to rescue King Bartra from the Holy Knights.

His presence is easily noticed by both Great Holy Knights and the three invading Deadly Sins. Outside of the castle, Arthur is seen riding in his huge warhorse and stands with his assembled forces and a mysterious cloaked person who stands beside him. When Hendriksen confronted Arthur outside of the gates with his two Holy Knights, the king of Camelot wishes to be granted audience with King Liones after the cloaked person removed an illusion of an army revealing it to be a ruse just to get the Holy Knights' attention. Hendriksen lied to Arthur, saying the king was sick and is under care of the kingdom's finest mages, but Arthur told the latter that his cloak friend can heal him. Hendriksen refused Arthur offer, but the latter said he refused to leave, and if there is a problem, he would help out.

Hendriksen reluctantly accepted Arthur's offer and escorted the king of Camelot and his cloaked friend to the castle. While on the way there, Hendriksen questioned Arthur if he knew of the problem they are facing only for the young king to reveal that he made it up, making the Great Holy Knight grew suspicious of him. Asking Arthur once more, this time of what he is after, only for the latter refuse to reveal it, Hendriksen and his two other Holy Knights surrounded the duo and told them that they killed every foreign messengers who visited Liones, even if he was the king. Then suddenly, an unnamed female Holy Knight appeared out of nowhere and informed Hendriksen of a event and teleported away. When Arthur asked if the female Holy Knight was a Liones mage, Hendriksen immediately attacked Arthur with one slash, telling him that he will not live to find out.

After sending the king of Camelot flying to a building, Hendriksen discovered that he received a cut on his head, realizing that Arthur's reputation was merely not for show as the latter blocked Hendriksen's attack with his sword while at the same time wounding him. Arthur then comments that Hendriksen is not bad being a Great Holy Knight as the king of Camelot prepares to battle him while his cloaked friend dealt with the other two Holy Knights. Arthur and Hendriksen battle reach to the center of Liones as people leave in fear of the two. Arthur told Hendriksen to finish their fight, while Hendriksen wonder at the young man strengths and powers, but Arthur went toward Hendriksen and start attacking him with multiplied sword slashes while Hendriksen block all of them. Arthur told Hendriksen to stop holding back, while the latter ask Arthur to do the same, and show him the power that made Arthur the new king. Hendriksen sent Arthur crashing to a wall of a building and summon Hellblaze to kill Arthur, while Arthur was fair and wonder about Hellblaze ability. As an irritated Hendriksen used Hellblaze Scream, it was counter by Meliodas who appear in the scene between them as Arthur was alarmed by Meliodas' appearance.

Arthur watch in amazed at Meliodas' skill, but when Hendriksen mention that Meliodas is the captain of the Deadly Sins, Arthur joined the battle when Gilthunder appears and attack Meliodas. Meliodas thanked him and asked him if he can give him a hand in the fight. He also asked him for his name, as Arthur told it to him, he also mentioned he have heard of him and know him and then they both prepared to face Gilthunder and Hendriksen together. When Hendriksen provoked Meliodas, leading to the Dragon's Sin of Wrath suddenly attacked two Holy Knights with full force pushing them back and slightly wounded them, Arthur was astonished. Witnessing Meliodas and Gilthunder clashing with great speed and skill, Arthur was shocked that the two combatants were not even serious yet in their battle, only for Hendriksen swiftly appear behind Arthur to tell him that it is the same thing between them before resuming their battle. As Gilthunder used Iron Hammer of the Thunder Emperor on Meliodas close-range, Arthur, while still clashing swords with Hendriksen, displays shock again.

Seeing Meliodas' Black Mark, Arthur let Hendriksen to elbow him in the stomach. The king of Camelot asks Hendriksen about the demon powers only for the latter to retort that why should he bother to tell when Arthur's going to die. Then Arthur received a burn from Hendriksen's Hellblaze and panicked but was swiftly saved by the cloaked person, whom he thanked. He then tells his partner to stand back as he got this to which Hendriksen calls him an idiot. Arthur end up being heavily injured by Hendriksen while the latter went off to battle Meliodas. Arthur apologize to Meliodas for not buying enough time, but the latter told Arthur to rest for now and leave the battle to him. Arthur started to blame himself as he was not strong enough, but the Cloaked person told Arthur that he perform admirably and just surviving a fight against a Great Holy Knight of another kingdom is significant. The Cloaked person said that Arthur's first battle was well done and should watch Meliodas battle as it would serve him in the future where he is destined to lead Britannia one day.

Gilthunder changes sides and joins Meliodas and Arthur's side, and defeats Hendriksen. After the battle, Arthur tags along with Gilthunder, Margaret, and Meliodas, and they join up with the other group with the goal of rescuing Bartra and Elizabeth. Arthur compliments Meliodas and his heroic deeds including saving Gilthunder and Margaret. The clueless group confess that they have no idea who is Arthur. Arthur informs them that he is the new king of Camelot, and he is here because he heard that Bartra was in trouble, and came to rescue Bartra. Gowther questions if the power they sensed earlier was him, at which Arthur confirmed. Meliodas then wonders why Arthur didn't use it, and Arthur admits that he has no knowledge of what his power might be and wanted to fight a Great Holy Knight so his power would awake, but unfortunately, it did not. The group are dumbfounded at Arthur, and some commented that he is an idiot for fighting a Great Holy Knight without any powers at all.

Suddenly, Arthur and the others are teleported to a forest by Vivian, but fortunately, they are soon sent back to Liones by Arthur's mysterious cloaked friend. The cloaked figure is soon revealed to be Merlin of the Seven Deadly Sins. After the situation, Bartra started to cough blood which alarm everyone until Merlin came and offer to heal him bacck in Camelot along with Arthur. As Merlin was about to leave through teleport, Arthur told her to wait as he went to Meliodas and offer him the title and rank of Great Holy Knight in Camelot as he believed that they were fated to meet. Everyone was surprised and shock at Arthur offer, but Meliodas accept Arthur offer to Elizabeth dismay as Meliodas believed that since the kingdom is saved, Elizabeth is freed, and Dawn Roar will take over the Deadly Sins job, they would be no need of him in Liones. Arthur was joy to Meliodas acceptance, but Meliodas told him not yet as he need to be in the kingdom to restore it and he still has the Boar Hat to run. Meliodas tend ask Merlin if she will rejoin the Deadly Sins who said not right away and teleported along with the sick Bartra and the depress Arthur. However, as a result the three didn't knew of the next dire situation happening to Liones as Hendriksen caused the Demon blood of the New Generation to awaken and mutate them into hybrid Demons to rampage around the kingdom.
