Under the Root

He doesn't count on generals or anything like that. Even a boy in the country knows that this level of existence is not something he can get his hands on at the moment, but if it is a small captain, there must be no problem, the innocent boy thought so.

but.

"Why did it become like this... The first time I came to a city like the imperial capital; the first time I met the help of kind people. These two happy things are intertwined. And these two joys will give me It brought a lot of joy. I should have had this kind of happy time like a dream. But, why did it become like this..."

Now, hours later, he has successfully turned into a penniless pauper.

"Hey, kid, get out and sleep if you don't have any money! Don't try to make trouble here, I'm a retired officer of the Imperial Army."

"Okay, okay!"

Amidst the scolding of the hotel owner, Tazmi, a country boy, enjoyed the treatment of a poor man, and was unceremoniously carried to the street together with his big bags and small bags.

Then with a plop, there was a sweet kiss between the buttocks and the earth.

Ah, so this is the meaning of class?Tatsumi, who has realized that he has been cheated, wants to cry at this moment.

"Fortunately, it's not like I can't sleep on the street." In the cold wind at night, the boy sitting by the road comforted himself in this way.Although the life on the border is difficult, it has tempered the will of the young man particularly tenaciously. Sleeping on the street may be like a bolt from the blue to ordinary people, but it is not a big deal at all to the young man.

Wait until tomorrow, find a job and settle down in the imperial capital, I don't know how Iyeas and Shayou are doing now.Thinking of this, Tatsumi curled up and tried to get through the night.

however.

"You can't just sleep like this, young man." A handsome, non-masculine knight with silver hair and green eyes suddenly appeared in front of Tatsumi at some point. "Although there is no problem when you are young, you will have a headache when you get old."

"Are you?" Tatsumi looked up and asked vigilantly.After going through so many routines, he felt a little nervous.

"Knight of the Round Table, Bedivere." Smiling and extending his right hand towards Tatsumi, the last Knight of the Round Table said with the most friendly smile.

"Don't laugh at me, I've been scammed out of my money before. There is no money for you to scam." Tazmi stared at the man who claimed to be a knight of the Western Kingdom with dead fish eyes, showing his life and death. Lovely expression.

But Bedivere was not surprised by this.

"Ah, yes. After all, it is Lord Li Lin. If it is that adult, there is no way to be cheated out of money unknowingly."

"Master Li Lin? Wait, do you know who lied to me? Hey, you guy, you must not be that guy's accomplice!" Tatsumi immediately understood what Bedivere meant. Jumping up from the stone road, Mi shook the collar of the good knight in front of him with excitement. "Hurry up and return my hard-earned money, or I will send you to the imperial guard!"

"Although I really want to do this." Bedivere smiled wryly. "But one, Lord Li Lin doesn't know me, and two, I'm as penniless as you."

"Liar. Even your silver arm is enough to buy the village where I was born." Tatsumi looked at Bedivere's arm and said, even in the dark night, the dazzling light was still shining.Even an ignorant country boy can understand the value of this item.

"This is not for sale." Smiling and shaking his head, Bedivere naturally couldn't agree to take such an important item as compensation.However, it is also the virtue of a knight to help this boy within his ability.

So

"But regarding your accommodation tonight, I can help you."

"How can I help? The pauper knight."

"Look, isn't the good-hearted man here?" Bedivere pointed one hand at the approaching luxury carriage in the distance without changing his smile, while the other hand held the dark and pitch-black car that could not even reflect any light. Reverse Cross.

"You crossed the line today, Arturia." Outside the imperial capital, Li Lin's temporary residence.The magician who had just returned from the imperial capital looked at the Knight King with dissatisfaction.Although there is no strict agreement between the two, they have maintained a relative tacit understanding.

Li Lin stayed beside the King of Knights safely and did not run away, while Arturia did not interfere with Li Lin's actions.

However, this tacit understanding was broken just now, and the surveillance of several knights of the round table undoubtedly touched Li Lin's bottom line.

Therefore, he questioned Arturia here, hoping that she would give him an explanation.

but.

"Yes." Artoria nodded slightly and admitted that she had broken the tacit understanding between her and Li Lin.

"Hey, I admit it so simply." Li Lin twitched the corners of his eyes slightly, and Li Lin felt that he was different from the knight king who strictly followed the way of knights.Arturia in the goddess state is a thousand times more difficult to deal with than the little girl in the Holy Grail War. She doesn't enjoy things or feel sad, and even her own desires are almost non-existent.In addition to being indescribably fanatical about his affairs, even chivalry, which was firmly observed by her before, was thrown into the trash by the Lion King mercilessly.

What a troublesome opponent.

"Then..." Li Lin decided to get some benefits from the Lion King through negotiation first.

however.

"Well, I'm sorry." But before Li Lin could say anything, the Lion King sincerely apologized.Then, under the latter's unhurried expression, she embraced his head with a happy face and pressed it firmly to her chest.

"However, it's great that Li Lin is fine."

"Woooooo."

"I was a little restless today. It seems that something happened, but if you are safe and sound, it must not be a big deal." The Knight King hugged Li Lin tightly, and the strength in his arms was getting stronger and stronger.

"Woooo."

"I know, intuition can never go wrong. If you have no problem, then the problem must appear in me. But don't worry, I am the undefeated eternal king, even if the gods come to the world, it will not be me opponent."

"Wow."

"So, you can stay here with peace of mind, I will wait, waiting for the day you become my princess."

"..."

"Acquiescence? Li Lin, what a dishonest guy."

Feeling the body gradually losing resistance in his arms, the Lion King smiled again.
