Lords of Camelot

"I lost, take my life." Gawain looked at his empty hands and could only lament like this in the end.

Davian shook his head. He just said: "So what if I kill you today? It doesn't mean anything. It just makes Gahoris and Agguiwen more sad and my king more distressed. Gao Wenqing, I It’s not like he kills for the sake of killing. Doesn’t that run counter to my king’s ideals?”

Davian's words were true. After all, he did not kill King Lot out of hatred. To be honest, he had no reason to hate King Lot. From King Lot's perspective, the things he did were normal. Davian had to do this because he would not be able to seize Britain's future if he didn't, so he killed King Lot himself.

"It is true that I kill and then be killed, which is a perfectly reasonable thing. But before my death comes, I will fight to the last moment for the ideal of my king. That's why I will defeat you in this duel, My life cannot be lost in this kind of battle. I hope you can understand that this kind of waste of life is unforgivable. I also hope that you can use your life in more valuable times. ." Davian's words explained many of his own thoughts, and he hoped Gawain could understand.

"So please put aside your hatred temporarily, and wait until the day when my king's ideal is realized, I will give you as many lives as you want from me. But before that, please fight side by side with me and my king." Davian stretched out his hand, He made it very clear that he would put aside his hatred for the time being, just for the sake of my king's great wish.

Gawain was deeply shocked at this moment. Of course he could tell whether Davian said these words sincerely or just a lie to numb him. At this time, Gawain couldn't feel any falsehood at all, he could only feel the sincerity in Davian's words. He is definitely not doing it for himself, but for King Arthur's great wish.

"Sir. Davian, your words make me feel deeply ashamed. Overwhelmed by personal grudges, I have completely forgotten my mission and responsibilities as a knight and as a subject of the king. I am a human being. , I am really..." Gawain held Davian's hand, and he almost shed tears of shame. But Davian shook his head, indicating that he did not need to blame himself so much.

"Gao Wenqing, I understand your feelings, but please don't do this. No matter what era, avenging your father is always a mistake. You didn't make any mistakes in the first place, right? It's just that this time, please stop here. ." Davian just smiled and reassured him. In any case, the duel ended under control.

All the knights also felt that there was no problem with this ending. After all, their internal problems could be settled like this, and everyone was happy.

"It was a wonderful duel, Gao Wenqing, you fought well." Lancelot also comforted Gawain, he really fought well just now. It's just that Davian is more skilled, and that's fine.

"Sir Lancelot, I can't tell for a moment whether you are praising me or hurting me." Gawain smiled bitterly. He had already lost, but he was praised for his good performance. It was really inexplicable and helpless. .

But Lancelot suddenly looked serious. He said without hesitation: "Of course you fought well. Do you think your opponent is really that unbearable? Didn't you find that Davian has changed? He is different from the original one." Was it still the same back then? If you carefully think back to your first encounter with him, and then think back to now, is Davian still the same Davian?"

Gawain carefully recalled the first duel with Davian in the forest, and then recalled Davian just now. Only then did he react, compared to Davian who was still overjoyed at that time and thought he had found a good opponent. Now in this one-on-one duel, Davian seems to have no emotional fluctuations at all.

He was neither happy nor distressed, nor did he feel that he could no longer bear it. He simply withstood Gawain's attack like a stubborn stone, and then like the light wind, he gave Gawain a counterattack at the most appropriate opportunity.

"He has changed. Only on a real battlefield will he show those emotions, either anger or the joy of victory. But in such a duel, he showed nothing, only a mechanical The feeling of completing a task." Gawain thought back to Davian who had said nothing during the duel just now, and he had really changed. Perhaps it was because Davian was silent just now that he never said a word from beginning to end.

"Just now I thought it was because of the duel with you that he was so silent because he had nothing to say. But now that I have realized it, it would be the same even if his opponent were me. Whatever the reason, this kind of personal It's hard for him to have any emotional fluctuations in the duel." Lancelot sighed, and he didn't know why Davian became like this. It always felt like it was hard for Davian to get even the slightest interest in this kind of duel where life was on the line.

"So don't think there's anything wrong with you. You're playing really well." Lancelot comforted Gawain and left. Gawain could only smile bitterly. The direction of fate was really unclear. Why on earth did things turn out like this?

Davian pulled out the dark sword stuck on the ground and left with Artoria. Others were too smart to follow them. After all, judging by the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem like it’s easy for me to get involved.

"You were neither happy nor guilty just now. I always felt that your attitude was too natural." Artoria could also feel the strange atmosphere. It was obviously a fair duel where she risked her life to avenge her father. But there was no trace of Davian's attack, as if it was a simple swordsmanship performance.

"Because this kind of duel won't bring me anything in the first place. Will there be any benefit if I win? It's just to save my life. I'll take it easy if I lose. After all, killing his father is nothing more than just saving my life." It's just a life for a life. The most I regret is that I can't continue to fight side by side with you. As for guilt, do you think I have ever experienced that kind of emotion? This duel is a matter of course, so there will be no waves." Davian made the matter very clear. , he will not have any happy thoughts just because he wins.

Artoria understood what he meant, so she just smiled and said nothing more. After all, Davian has made the most appropriate response, which not only protects his own life, but also convinces Gawain that these things will not cause more riots.

"I don't know what kind of battles are waiting for us next. Have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow. Artoria, I will be with you until the end." Accompanying the king back to his residence, Davian After saying this, Artoria bounced his chest after listening to his words and returned to her residence with a smile.

Davian touched the place where he was bounced, smiled and returned to his barracks. I hope everything goes well in the future, I hope.
