[Fate] queen

Chapter 28

Although Artorius said not to care about gossip.But, Guinevere could not care about herself, but it was impossible not to care about her husband's reputation.

How can this kind of behavior of slandering the king be tolerated, otherwise, wouldn't anyone be able to insult the king's ideals at will!

In fact, she could have said something that could be called arrogant: no one could understand more clearly what kind of person King Arthur was, and what lofty ideals and ambitions he had than Guinevere.

Such a king who is wholeheartedly thinking about the motherland and the people, who loves the people more than anyone else, even loves the country even more, and who is stronger and more reliable than anyone else, will be criticized by his subordinates as "" A king who doesn’t understand people’s hearts” was mercilessly abandoned like this.

What an ironic and sad world.

Guinevere felt that she had to do something about it. Apart from being angry, she really wanted to know what the knight was thinking.

Tristan, that is a heroic knight not inferior to Lancelot and Gawain.It was precisely because it was he himself who said these words that such a violent disturbance would be caused in Great Britain.

Let me ask, if even one of the three knights whom the king relied on made such a lament, who would have confidence in the king?

"Mr. Lancelot, please escort me to the manor where Knight Tristan is now."

"But your body..." The man was in a dilemma. As a knight, he couldn't defy the queen, but he was too worried about her condition.Lancelot had no choice but to kneel on one knee and sincerely begged the queen to withdraw this order.After all, I don't know if her recent illness is due to the weather, and she is becoming more and more erratic, which makes many people worry.This of course includes him.

"Knight, this is an order."

Deliberately using an undeniable tone, Guinevere insisted on making such a request to the knight who had not yet had the opportunity to resign as the queen's guard. She braved the snow and drove out of the palace in a carriage, without any intention of concealing her whereabouts. I didn't inform my husband either, so I went all the way to the destination openly and aboveboard.

It was cold and windy outside the car, and the wind blowing towards his face was accompanied by a sharp and piercing cry, almost turning into a knife blade to cut his cheek.With the help of the maid, she stepped into the ground from the carriage, and Guinevere involuntarily wrapped the cloak tightly around her body, feeling the coldness all over her nose, almost chilling her bones and blood.She sent the accompanying soldiers to knock on the gate of the manor, and forced the owner of the manor to "invite" out the door.

As soon as the man with a confused face went out, he saw the Queen of Britain who was waiting in front of the door with a smile. He knelt down on one knee in the snow like a conditioned reflex, and made a solid salute:

"His Royal Highness, may I ask if this is..."

The pure white and crystal snowflakes are falling down, shining with flawless brilliance, dancing a grand banquet in the quiet world.They playfully stain the black hair and eyelashes of the king's wife, and decorate her with silver armor.

"Good morning, Sir Tristan."

Guinevere stood on the spot, straightened her back, and nodded to him with a smile, but the words poured out of her mouth were extremely sharp, and her voice was clear and neat.

"I won't gossip. I heard that you are very dissatisfied with the king."

"..."

Tristan's gaze towards the queen gradually became a little subtle.

"I'm sorry. I didn't come here at the behest of the king, but I just wanted to see it as an individual." The tall woman seemed to understand the meaning of the change in his eyes at this moment, she smiled lightly and waved her hands: "Please stand up and be equal to me." Dialogue. I came here today just to ask you what do you want this country to be like when you say that the king doesn't understand people's hearts?"

Tristan asked hesitantly, "You... really want to know?"

"Of course, I think you understand that my desire to make this country a better place is never fake."

Guinevere narrowed her eyes and revealed an extremely gentle smile that did not contain the slightest hint of provocation or threat, as if she was sincerely asking for advice, without any offensive power.

After a moment of silence, the brilliant knight who had made great contributions to Great Britain nodded his head, as if approving what she said.After all, the former Scottish princess has been working hard for ten years since she married into Britain. This is a fact obvious to all British knights.

"I want Great Britain to be a country where there is no war, only peace and laughter, so that the younger generation will never have to worry about the battles that are coming, and weep for the destruction of their families."

Tristan said so.And this is the goal that Artorius and Guinevere want to fight for all their lives.

Tristan's answer relieved the Queen's doubts. She did not expect to get such an answer. Gurneywell had mixed feelings, and she was completely unable to criticize such a wish against her will. She sighed, and an extremely complicated scene flashed in her eyes. Look: "...a beautiful wish."

However, she couldn't understand even more, why are they incompatible even though they have the same ideals?

"But do you know, Your Highness? The king is always fighting! Fighting! Exploiting the people! Didn't he hear that the people inside and outside the city are already complaining!?"

When he said this, his emotions suddenly became very agitated, and the resentment was so heavy that Guinevere couldn't help taking a step back with a face full of shock.As if she couldn't bear such a severe accusation, her body trembled slightly, and she stared at him in disbelief:

"If you don't wipe out all the foreign enemies, how can you usher in a peaceful future!? If the king really went astray, it's up to you to pull him back! Who gave you the arrogance to make you do this? Do not hesitate to question the king and betray the king!? Now I am afraid that I cannot agree with you that you really have this country in your heart. I almost forgot, in fact, the Knights of the Round Table also have internal strife and divisions, and you are saying that it is all the king’s When it comes to responsibility, it must be too much."

"...You! I don't know what to say!"

Subconsciously raising his voice, Tristan glared at her.

Not to be outdone, Guinevere stared back, the air was gradually filled with the smell of gunpowder and tense tension, almost smelling the wind and rain.

The heavy snow almost obscured Lancelot's empty field of vision. He stared at the back of Guinevere in front of him full of worry. His body was so thin that he seemed to fall down in the next moment, but he condensed the fearless courage to move forward. , so that everyone else was reduced to a dispensable background in an instant, so that he could only see her at this moment.

The knight felt that she was swearing to defend her faith like a moth to a flame, which made people worry about how long she would be able to hold on.

"What? Don't you agree? Looking at me like this, you are angry and want to hit me? Arrogant knight, the king grants you tolerance, but I will not. At this age, you still want to be like a child? Is he being coquettish!"

Standing for a long time and the severe cold weather made the sick queen gradually exhausted. Her face was as ugly as white paper, even faintly blue. Compared with the background of heavy snow, it was not much better, but those blue eyes But the pupils of the eyes seemed to be burning with all the vitality, prosperous and beautiful, and they effortlessly hollowed out everything to lock the other party with their eyes.

Guinevere stared down at the knight who betrayed the king. This sharpness and purity made it almost impossible to look directly at.After throwing down these words, the queen wanted to turn around and leave, but stopped abruptly.

"I don't want to hear explanations, and the same is true for rebuttals. I admit that you have paid a lot for this country, but since you think it is wrong, why don't you stay by the king's side and make changes? Why don't you take out What about feasible solutions?"

She let out a long mouthful of icy cold air from the depths of her throat, and looked up at the frozen scenery in the distance, as if even her anger was extinguished by this beauty.

"Blindly reprimanding the king for his mistakes arrogantly, and kept shouting that this is not something that one person would do, but who really told him the future he wanted?"

The queen's words were earnest, and she wailed almost like a sigh:

"I defend your original intention, but I can't forgive your actions. Glorious knight, now I finally know the truth why you can't reach the same goal even though you have the same ideal. Since you are so determined to go your own way, please return the round table as soon as possible. Take the name of you from me."

"Only then will you be truly free."
