[Fate] queen

Chapter 14

………………………… To hell with miracles! !

If it wasn't for the concern about image, Guinevere would really want to throw the pen in anger!And in front of someone!

After nightfall, Camelot City sank into the embrace of silence, and Guinevere stood by the exquisitely decorated window and tried to settle her mood.

Sighing deeply and deeply in her heart, Gurney felt a sense of collapse and powerlessness that had been deceived by the world.

Her Royal Highness, who was not in a good mood, looked at the guy in front of him who was walking leisurely and wandering into his bedroom, showing a slightly irritable expression almost unconsciously.

It has always been a royal tradition for the king and queen to live in separate rooms, but this man... is not a man who would regard those meaningless things as truth.

He was also wearing a dark blue velvet robe with pure white trim sewn during the afternoon portrait, which made the expression on Artoris' look more gentle and clear.Guinevere subconsciously raised her foot and wanted to walk over, but when she thought about what happened in the afternoon, she suddenly felt ill.

Guinevere smiled just right at that time, and her expression seemed a little nervous.

Artorius kept looking at her with a smile like that, and when Guinevere's smile froze, and she couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with her, she heard the other party say very suddenly: "I heard, Greg Ni, do you love painting?"

"……Yes?"

The topic suddenly turned to a strange place, Gurney blinked a little blankly, and then heard this person's boast.

"Then how about staying for a while and competing? My drawing skills are very good!"

The famous King of Knights, after resting his chin and thinking about "the problem that his wife doesn't want to be too familiar with him for the time being", happily chose the correct way to deal with it.

Being provoked in the field where you are best at and most confident, can you bear it? ——It must not be possible!

Guinevere, who was aroused by the words, snorted very hard: "It must not be as good as mine!"

She just settled the game so easily.

He didn't even have the mood to sit down and let others paint the portrait he had agreed upon, and the two most honorable people in Great Britain immediately started an intense competition.The court painters who were innocently robbed of their tools looked at each other and had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and stand in a row, using these two people as the background of the painting.By the way, be a fair and impartial referee.

...Ah, no one can afford to offend these two.Who is better to say?Exhausted.

"Sure enough, it's not as good as mine!" Proudly waved his hand, and stretched out his hand to embrace the girl next to him in his arms. Artorius blinked, rubbed the top of Guinevere's hair affectionately, and tugged at it curiously. Pulling a strand of black hair hanging from her ear.

Guinevere frowned at once, opened Artorius' claws, followed closely behind, not to be outdone, and said seriously: "Wang, please forgive me, your painting is called abstract wild wind! And I Only the paintings are full of artistic conception. Even if you humiliate my paintings, I will never forgive you!"

Artorius choked suddenly.

Inexplicably, they confronted each other.

"...This painting is completely different. Why are the king and queen arguing?"

The two distorted portraits also couldn't see the true face of the model, so what is there to argue about.As the chief guard of the palace, Kai Wei could only admire deeply, while not forgetting to prick up his ears to listen carefully to the content of their quarrel.This is out-of-print first-hand gossip!

"Don't look!" The busy young man who was standing in front of the drawing board hastily covered the canvas, turned his head and warned familiarly: "Kai, keep your mouth shut for me!"

Kai covered his mouth under the sharp eyes of the king, and continued to watch the argument between King Arthur and the queen, who rarely showed his true character, dumbfounded.Judging by Artorius' expression, he seemed to be enjoying it.

Why did you abandon the chivalry and gentlemanly demeanor that you agreed to treat others with humility as soon as you saw the queen!

The single dog Kai suddenly felt that he had suffered a heavy blow.

"Kay?"

Temporarily putting aside the contentious argument, Guinevere looked over with some doubts.

She felt that King Arthur was probably the only one who could hold a pen as if he was holding a sword, and with the elegant posture unique to the royal family.

Artorius said lightly, "It's my foster brother. I grew up under the same roof as him since I was a child."

Although her ears were full of legends about King Arthur, Guinevere only knew that Artorius was the illegitimate son of King Uther, and she had no idea that there was such a relationship.

Also, this is not something worth showing off, and everyone knows that there is no need to publicize it.

Even Gurneyvere heard words like "young and promising", "heroic", "hot", "virtuous", "heroic" before marriage.

Such a king will choose her, I am afraid that her appearance also occupies a considerable part.

Seeing Guinevere's thoughts running farther and farther, Artorius stretched out Lushan's claws again unwillingly, attracting all the attention of Guinevere.

... This man is really King Arthur! ?

What about noble, awe-inspiring, upright and selfless?It's very easy to play a rogue!

Guinevere couldn't help but think indignantly: Even if this is a marriage of exchange of interests, one shouldn't have too much expectations, and still feel that the rumors are unbelievable.

At this time, someone knocked softly on the door, and after getting permission, the maid bowed her knees humbly and entered one file after another, holding the plates.

"Please take your time with the king and queen."

After saying this, they quietly retreated out again.

Guinevere chuckled, and stared at the man in front of her without fear.There is no such thing as the graceful posture of lowering eyebrows and restraining eyes just now.Then the girl stretched out her hand and pointed at the ground arrogantly, without any intention of paying attention to the man beside her.

The little princess who was pampered and raised in the environment of stars and moons, of course, should not be as humble as she is now, it's just that Guinevere has been very assertive since she was a child.She is very good at positioning herself, knowing what to do and what not to do in the environment she is in.However, never acting out of line does not mean that the girl does not have the kind of innate skills that should belong to the princess (bie) proud (niu), otherwise she would not let her make up her own mind about this kind of marriage.

"You can sleep there."

After the fair-skinned, beautiful girl with outstanding temperament made such an assertion, she leaned on the head of the bed, hugged her chest, crossed her legs, and stared at the shocked handsome face of the other party.Said warningly: "I'm sorry to offend you. Please forgive me.—Or do you prefer the study?"

Although the wording is still polite as always.But it was quite obvious that she was still angry about the day's events, and was going berserk.

Although she feels naive and ashamed of her reason wandering on the edge of a cliff, no one can insult her painting skills!anyone!Guinevere firmly thought, this is a matter of principle!Never back down on matters of principle!

There was a little trouble in the heroic eyebrows, and Artorius blinked. He was sitting at the table, with his head half-raised to see the other party's face clearly under the dim light.

After a while of silence, he suddenly spoke:

"I'm hungry, would you like something to eat?"

Guinevere: "..."

What's the reaction?Is it his counterattack? !How can someone talk about irrelevant topics with such a pure face! !

Artorius felt that what she showed before and after the wedding was just a wait-and-see attitude.

What kind of person is the other party, she will take what kind of measures.Once the other party is not satisfactory, I am afraid that the relationship between the two will never develop beyond political marriage.But Artorius felt that he was very decisive, and it was easier to let go. Guinevere probably never saw him in his career who was such a scoundrel and could be so righteous, so he could see that with her level Complete failure.Otherwise, she would not be at a loss and unable to resist the praise from her husband.

"Stupid girl, aren't you hungry? Hunger is the enemy."

He doesn't like unnecessary disputes (...), and selectively forgets how childishly provoking the girl's anger during the day, Artorius just smiled heartily at Guinevere's performance, his green eyes are like a lake The gentle and delicate light was shining, and the young king who looked more like a boy beckoned to his queen affectionately. "Here's what you like to eat."

... But, damn it!I'm really hungry!

Guinevere frowned, her eyes subconsciously glanced at the food in the cups and cups on the table, and then she fell into self-loathing as if she had reacted , this kind of person who doesn't follow the rules is really difficult to deal with!

Artorius asked "suspiciously": "Gurney, are you really not hungry? Then I will eat them all."

Hearing this statement, Guinevere gritted her teeth, and it took a long time before she said embarrassingly under the narrow and playful gaze of the other party: "Hungry..."

"Then let's eat together." The rather gracious King of Knights took the initiative to set the table and chopsticks, as if he didn't see the girl's embarrassment due to affection, and invited her frankly.

"...Okay, okay. I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."

Gurney, who was as loud as a mosquito, walked over coyly, halfway there, she suddenly realized what she had said, and suddenly raised her head in embarrassment. She was both ashamed and embarrassed, and had no choice but to stare at him unrelentingly. Express your grievances.

"Is there something wrong with me? I see you've been looking at me." Artoris laughed loudly as he picked up the girl and walked towards the dining table without any abnormality. "Everyone says I look good, could it be because of this..."

Ahhhh that's not it!

Regardless of her embarrassment, the red-faced Guinevere interrupted him decisively, saying, "This is your misreading."

Let this person go on, I don't know what shameful words he will say again!Guinevere fell into entanglement and frustration, and for a moment forgot the intimate touch with the other party.

Artorius curled the corners of his mouth in a good mood, thinking that his wife was really easy to cheat.

He already knew what kind of princess Guinevere was.Unlike everyone else, apart from the aura of a series of congenital conditions such as appearance and background, the real her is very innocent, but also very persistent and firm. You see her enlightening her family and treating her children gently. It is like seeing a ray of sunshine breaking through the haze.

This kind of strength and transparency is very admirable, but it can also stimulate people's desire for protection.

This is his wife, this is the family he must protect.

he thinks.

Afterwards, Guinevere, who looked at her husband with a critical and disgusting attitude, was stunned by his good appetite.

...Oops, those affected by him eat too much without realizing it.

Guinevere was quite speechless, she didn't know why there were so many of her favorite foods on the table, and she almost couldn't hold it.

An inexplicable sense of shame invaded her heart, staining the girl's cheeks red, in stark contrast to her long black hair and fair skin.Realizing that this would not work, and eating any more would go against the education she had received over the years, Guinevere decisively put down the knife and fork, and tried her best to maintain the demeanor that a lady should have as she left the table.

"Thank you for your hospitality, King Arthur."

Obviously, she didn't intend to continue talking with the Boy King, and she didn't want to waste any more time. She simply broke the jar and said directly, "I'm tired and want to rest."

"Not King Arthur."

"...?"

"Gurney, my name is Artorius Pendragon (Artorius Pendragon), just call me Al ①. Don't make a mistake next time, if no one calls my name, it will probably be a little It's a bit lonely." Artorius said with a smile: "Well, okay, it's time to say good night, queen of Al's family."

Guinevere glanced at him in surprise, but was forced by Artoris's gentle and bright smile and eyes to look away in a panic. After a while, the girl turned her head again as if she felt that it was too embarrassing for her to admit defeat so easily. Lai gave each other a vicious look.

Artorius returned an innocent smile.

Guinevere, who was a little moved, a little shocked, a little ashamed just now, felt that she was even more angry now: "..."

The rumors are really unbelievable!go away you!Nasty bastard king!

The author has something to say:

① Also translated Artorius Pendragon.

The true nature of the black-bellied and poisonous-tongued man was exposed.

The queen was ridiculed by the dead old sword because of her extremely abstract painting style.

Gurney: Go away, you realists! !This is because I pay too much attention to the artistic conception!Do you know what is artistic conception?Turtle!
