[Fate] queen

Chapter 48

Silent night.

The bright moon in the sky is still hanging high, looking at all the joys and sorrows in the world, and casting a radiance as cold as water.In this almost dead castle, only the burning candles of the candlesticks on the walls are flickering quietly, dutifully illuminating the dark palace and corridors, but there is an inexplicably desolate and chilling air.

At this moment, two figures, avoiding the patrolling guards, quietly appeared in the silent night.

The curtains in the hall were blown by the night wind from outside the door, with a soft and graceful posture. Mordred hugged Glatis and walked straight to the thin coffin parked in the center.

There were countless simple patterns carved on the cold coffin, he knew that she was lying here and would always be lying here.

Gladys was attracted all the attention, she opened her round eyes wide, full of curiosity about such an unusual object, those blue pupils were very similar to her mother's.The man put down the girl in his arms, as if he couldn't bear the gaze of that pair of eyes, Mordred quietly turned his face away, staring at the raised cross above the coffin, after a long time, finally made up his mind, very slowly and extremely Gently pushed open the coffin lid.

In front of her was the body of a noble woman.

The candle flame flickered with the wind blowing from nowhere. Seeing Guinevere's intact face at the junction of the shadows, Mordred opened his eyes wide in surprise, and immediately froze in place.

I don't know if it's because of the other party's intact body, or because...

The woman's eyebrows were not as full of negative emotions as he had imagined, on the contrary, there was no trace of resentment and desolation, and she looked extremely calm and comfortable, as if she had just entered a peaceful sleep and could wake up again at any time.

— completely, not hated.

This fact made Mordred feel very tormented.

"Maude! Maude! Why is the queen ignoring me? Is she asleep?"

Gladys struggled to cling to the outside of the coffin, trying to climb into the narrow space, reaching out to touch the face of his long-missed mother.

The flow of blood seemed to be gradually congealing, the man only felt that his heart was viciously grasped by an unknown force, and the pain was unbearable, which made his tears involuntarily float in the reddish eye sockets, Mordred squatted down, and for a moment Staring at Guinevere's peaceful sleeping face for a moment, it took a long time before she softly answered: "...Well, this time I will probably sleep for a long time, so Grai should be obedient and don't disturb the queen mother, okay? ?”

His voice was soft and ethereal, as if it came from outside the sky.

"Good~"

Although it was a bit difficult to understand, the little girl who didn't know the world still responded vaguely and laughed happily.

The green pupils trembled violently, and Mordred hugged the girl up with the slightest force in his life, for fear of hurting her.He has already made a big mistake, and he must never make it again. The Gladys in his arms is his sister, the daughter of the woman he killed with his own hands, and the girl he must bear for the rest of his life.

He must protect her and do everything possible to make her grow up happily.Then, when that time comes, you will be hated——

he thought calmly.

But it doesn't matter, this is the guilt he is destined to bear, and he has already realized it.

Mordred took off the cross hanging on his right chest, and gently placed it under Guinevere's folded hands in front of him.

The silver cross is engraved with intricate and exquisite imprints, and it is imprinted with the coat of arms representing the glory of knights. The meaning it symbolizes is not ordinary-inside the round table, each person will have a total of two, which are the joint honor of King Arthur and the Queen. The item that Mordred put next to Guinevere at this time, was presented by her personally on the day he joined the round table.

On its back, horizontally, his name is engraved, symbolizing his supreme glory as a knight.At that time, he came here for his long-awaited father, and he didn't care about this woman. How could he think that he would have a deeper entanglement with this place after this.

This is a little selfishness of Mordred.

He must always remember this sin, always remember the missing corner, and carry it all the time.

The man's figure gradually froze in the candlelight, and he kept this posture, looking at her calm eyebrows quietly and sadly, as if he was confessing, but also atonement.

Gradually feeling sleepy, Gladys nestled into the arms of the other party, and accompanied the mother who would never wake up again through the coffin.Mordred hugged her, his originally messy thoughts finally calmed down, and he hummed a long-lasting song in a stiff voice.

Mordred has actually never enjoyed these melodies that have been sealed in his memory for a long time. His mother Morgan Le Fay is not such a tender woman, and he has only heard the woman lying in the coffin sing. After several times, I have some impressions.Now that he deliberately recalled it and dug it out again, he was shocked to realize how profound her influence on him was.

Gladys listened to the familiar melody, and slowly sank into dreams with peace of mind.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the distant sky seems to be covered with a thick layer of shadow, which makes people breathless.There was a throbbing pain that seemed to tear the soul from the bottom of my heart, and Mordred told her softly in a trembling and stiff voice:

"I kept my promise and returned Gladys intact, mother—please allow me to call you that once, just this one and only time."

"She doesn't have a son like you."

From the side hall, came a cold voice.

The familiar voice was no longer clear, but full of compelling sharpness.

Mordred's pupils shrank suddenly, his face contorted for a moment, he looked back, and unexpectedly saw the figure of a certain man.

"You burned my wife to the stake in my name, Mordred, who gave you the guts!"

Artorius' expression suddenly changed, and his expression suddenly turned cold. The green and clear lake was forced to be stained with hatred. To chop the opponent into pieces.

His body seemed to be pierced through in an instant. Mordred had a ferocious and distorted smile on his identical face, looking frivolous and evil. He said in the silence almost bluntly: "I was born to be your stain, so naturally I have to fulfill it." Do your duty."

The air was suddenly full of tense atmosphere, and separated by a distance, two pairs of similar eyes were hostile to each other.

"Glatis is here, I won't kill you today, but sooner or later... no matter where you flee to the ends of the earth, I will kill you by the sword."

Mordred readily replied:

"Just what I want. Then try it, King Arthur. When the day comes, whether you will kill me, or I will destroy your kingdom—"

This may be the only time that there is a tacit understanding between father and son.
