[Fate] queen

Chapter 29

Late at night, the study room was still brightly lit, and King Arthur was dealing with accumulated political affairs. The room was quiet, only the sound of burning wood in the fireplace could be clearly heard.After he finished his work, he turned his head and saw his wife facing his sleeping face with closed eyes.

Originally, Guinevere insisted on sitting beside her, wanting to accompany her husband, but she waited too long, so she just fell asleep leaning against the back of the chair.

Artorius came over carefully and covered her with a cloak, trying not to disturb his wife's sweet dreams. He bent down and touched her hand lightly, and found that her body was still soaked in coolness even in the warm room. Can't help frowning.

"King Arthur, did you hear that? Those voices of dissatisfaction coming from inside and outside the city."

For some unknown reason, the person who had been watching silently asked this question with a smile.

"I don't care about those." Gently exhaling, Artorius breathed the cold air, his young face showed a bit of fatigue, only those green pupils were full of vitality.He stretched out his hand to brush away Gurney's messy cheek hair, and said in a calm voice: "My wife is fighting for me, so naturally I have to protect her even more."

"Some people say that the queen's words are right, but others say that the queen's words and deeds are inappropriate." Contrary to the usual casual tone, Merlin looked at the couple in front of the river with great interest, and said The almost cold tone revealed the truth: "—I am afraid that it will become an obstacle to Great Britain in the future."

"Joke!" Artorius was furious, but still lowered his voice considerately: "How can Gurney be my obstacle, she is my armor against the whole world!"

"But the nobles don't think so, King Arthur." I have never had half love for human beings in my heart, and of course I have never even had the consciousness of sin, so I will not be affected by such monstrous anger. Observe The great magician of everything sighed softly: "I didn't expect the queen to do this for you."

"..." Artorius was silent, and added some firewood to the fireplace, and the light in the room suddenly became brighter.

Of course he knew that there were many knights who were ashamed of the queen's words, but more of them were angry. They seemed to have found a cannon to vent their anger, shouting: "This is an insult to the nobles! and provocation!"

After the brewing and outbreak of this incident, Artorius finally understood.

That's all there is to it after all.Even though they share the same ideal, they are still incompatible, and even cause countless people to abuse and insult them.

All along, I don't know who is too gentle but arrogant, insisting on shouldering the heavy responsibility that does not belong to me.As a result, there are not many knights who can really communicate with the king, let alone let the common people understand the king's good intentions.In the past, what the king did was like a doting parent, taking whatever he wanted, wishing he could take everything on his shoulders, and unknowingly deprived his subjects of their rights.

Deviations in thinking, different ideas, and changing perspectives have led to completely opposite situations in the judgment and understanding of things by everyone in Great Britain.

Artorius suddenly realized that he had never really understood the wishes of the people around him.

This may be the punishment for a wayward king.

The well-informed magician called out the name of the king as if troubled, and then said: "There are more and more doubts, Arthur, what do you want to do?"

"They underestimated me too much." The always rational and wise king was furious, and his expression finally had some substantive subtle changes, as if he had been touched by a scale that must never be trampled on, and received an irresistible blow. It is full of oppressive feeling like the insult of comparison.

Merlin poured cold water on him, and calmly pointed out: "Her Royal Highness insists that you are not wrong, and sometimes the facts are not important. What is more important is how to restore the damage to Her Highness's reputation now."

"You once said that as long as you get that sword, you will be hated by people and go to a miserable death... I said at the time, let time tell everything, and it is still the same now." The young king had mixed feelings in his heart, depressed and depressed, The face involuntarily became a little more complicated and depressed.

"Indeed. I told you that day, when you draw your sword, you are no longer human."

"But the sword has been broken, and the magic will disappear. Now I am no longer the immortal King Arthur, but Artorius."

"Do you think so? But in my opinion, it's not the case." The magician who has always shown his old image chuckled in a hoarse voice, revealing the truth he knew: "King Arthur has nothing to do with the sword. The queen turned you back into a human."

For Merlin, a non-human who has "eyes that see through the world" and can thoroughly understand this era, human beings are occasionally unexpected creatures that appear outside the trajectory.

Artorius is one, Guinevere is another.

The boy died the moment he pulled out the sword in the stone. King Arthur abandoned himself as a human being and devoted himself to pursuing his ideals, but the queen would not let him be alone in the clouds.That's why King Arthur, who "doesn't understand people's hearts", really falls in love with someone, and at the same time absorbs all the love and understanding from that person, which adds a beautiful scenery that cannot be missed to his pursuit of ideals.The Queen of Britain wholeheartedly guarded the country and her husband's ideals, imposed a heavy mission on herself, and became the king's strongest backing and softest heart.

I brought you back to the world, and you returned my love and faith-the combination of these two people complements each other.

This world is so strange that strangers who have never met before can join each other and play a wonderful song with notes.

"I'm really happy when you say that. I love Gurney, and I never deny it." To be able to meet Gurney, propose marriage to her, and marry her at an age that doesn't understand love For Artorius, it couldn't be better.Even if the initial union was only due to the need for a political marriage, Artorius still feels very lucky when he thinks about it. Maybe he was attracted to her long ago but didn't know it.

"As human beings we make mistakes for granted, but I don't understand what we are doing wrong?"

Is killing the enemy wrong?Is it wrong to protect the people?Is it wrong to fight for ten years?

Artorius may understand why he was accused so mercilessly, but he will never regret it.He calmed down his mood silently, then smiled lightly and shook his head: "If this confusion is a fault, then my fault will be unforgivable."

"I'm afraid I can no longer help you with state affairs. In fact, I don't think you are wrong. You should know what Knight Tristan said... just talk about some things."

The magician who is also a teacher and a friend said so, but only he himself knows how against his will.

After all, I saw it again——

That is a future full of cruelty and blood.

At this time, a soft and pleasant voice sounded, and it was Guinevere who woke up.There was a faint nasal tone in her voice, as well as incredible astonishment: "Merlin, you...how did you become like this?"

Merlin smiled and nodded towards Guinevere who was woken up. His body has shown a translucent state, and what has stayed here so far is nothing more than an illusory shadow: "I come to say goodbye to you .”

"They said that you fell in love with the nymph of the lake and were imprisoned in a boulder. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it." Artorius asked, "What are you thinking?"

The magician smiled and said nothing.

"You have really taught us a lot these years. Now that you have said goodbye, please allow me to call you teacher at this moment." Seeing this, Guinevere said seriously: "Thank you all the time gone."

"I'll see you someday."

A prophetic word was left behind, and the illusory figure quietly dissipated into the air.

The author has something to say:

By the way, Merlin is also played by Brother Kao in the radio drama =w= but it is a little heavier than the old sword.
