[Fate] queen

Chapter 54

That's all for an overly long story.

Matou Sakura, whose heart was too heavy, didn't make a sound for a long time, she just hugged Guinevere quietly and silently—this woman who was sitting in front of her at this moment, but had already died and suffered too much That's all.

"So mom..."

"Well, I'm sorry Sakura, I scared you, I was burned to death."

"Why did mom apologize to me? I just..." The girl buried her head in the other's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I just think mom is too worthless."

Guinevere was taken aback for a moment, smiled and rubbed the soft hair on the back of the girl's head, and coaxed her in a low voice: "It's okay, thank you, Xiaoying, for thinking about me, but, I still don't regret that I used to do it when I was alive. The time for the Queen of Britain. At least... the glory that once existed and has long passed is real."

"But the legend says that Lancelot saved you from the stake?"

Sakura cast her eyes on the bookshelf in her room, where there were many series of books about the legend of King Arthur, all of which she secretly begged Kariya to collect little by little. In order to ensure that Guinevere would not find out, she They even wrapped them in inconspicuous book covers and put them among their equally inconspicuous extracurricular books.

Although the versions are different and the legends are complex and changeable, almost every one mentions the forced derailment of the British king, the platonic love affair between the British queen and the first knight of the round table, and the fire and water between those people and Morgan and Mordred. Not allowed.

But these legends are so different from what Matou Sakura learned.

"Oh, actually, I also know those legends. Lancelot rescued me from the execution ground, and then we eloped, didn't we?" Guinevere trembled her shoulders as if she was amused by this development. laughed.

Matou Sakura raised her head and looked at her mother in confusion: "Why do these legends..."

Guinevere stopped laughing, she breathed a sigh of relief, blinked her blue eyes, got up and came to the row of books, and accurately drew out all the thoughts collected by her daughter.

"Maybe it's all some artful processing, or maybe this is not the time and space I lived in...Although Lancelot did try to rob the execution ground that day, and even almost killed someone by mistake, causing an irreparable mistake, but I stopped him. Otherwise, how could he be so sad when he saw me? Watching the object of the pledge of allegiance order him to put down the sword and stop resisting, so that he failed to save the other party and caused her to die in the sea of ​​fire... ..." Guinevere always attaches great importance to people who are knights. She sincerely expects them to realize their ideals happily. One who sullies the honor of knighthood.What a serious accusation that is for such a glorious person.

Guinevere lowered her gaze, unconsciously rubbing the stack of books in her hands, with a faint smile on her lips.

"What I did was actually very cruel to him, but that person was such a glorious knight. It is already painful enough to be hurt by my bad queen. Putting other blemishes on your resume. Really... Anyway, even the first knight, he is still a stubborn fool, and he will voluntarily leave the round table because of my death——that is, he has worked hard for half his life , won countless honors."

Sakura said silently: "If mom didn't stop Saber, she should have had a chance to leave there, but this is really something mom would do. Should it be said that character determines fate? In short, I don't feel sorry for mom's decision at all." Surprise."

The girl sighed, and stretched out her hand to the book "The Death of King Arthur" in her mother's gentle eyes, and tore off the outer cover of the book.

Guinevere was immediately attracted by the title of the book, staring at it involuntarily, her fingertips almost touched the cold hardcover book, and the vague smile of that person appeared inappropriately before her eyes.

She had already known the end of King Arthur from countless stories that had been handed down to the world, but she had never felt as painful as she was at this moment. A layer of complex emotions condensed deep in the eyes of the former Queen of Britain.

The queen could almost recall the scene when she was tied to the stake.At that time, the shame of being slandered, the pain of being betrayed, and the fear of death could not compare to the despair that came from the heart when he was not trusted by the king.

Guinevere was so in love with Artorius.

Knowing the truth of the matter from Lancelot, Guinevere felt that she had been fooled by the world all her life, and she couldn't bring up any feelings of hatred. She only felt tired and ridiculous.

Everyone is born alone, everyone is young, everyone dies.

At the end of the day, there is still no difference.

At this point, it was pointless to wonder why he would lie to himself.Once human beings have embraced the warmth, they will no longer be able to bear the coldness of loneliness.

Guinevere's only regret and heartache is not being able to bid farewell to that world, not being able to tell her Gladys how much she loves her, how much she wants to grow up with her, watching her step by step to the other side.After losing their parents, her children must have suffered a lot, but she was strong enough to bear that pain.

"Does mother hate him?"

"...He? King Arthur?" Guinevere's eyes instantly became distant and hazy, and she was silent for a while before she said, "Now I don't know. I really hated him at first, and was The fire hurts so much, I even died with resentment towards him. But it’s ridiculous that I learned everything after I died. Before I saw him, I’m afraid I would never know what kind of feelings I had for him. Emotional."

Matou Ying frowned in an instant, and complained angrily: "Then don't ever meet him! He hurt my mother, I hate him! Super! Disgusting! Disgusting!"

"Sakura, I love you so much." Hearing her daughter's childish words, Gurney couldn't help laughing and bent over. She smiled to comfort the girl with a rare indifference on her face: "Well, after he dies, he will only go to A Wallon, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to meet with me again."

Matou Sakura nodded triumphantly, and took this opportunity to ask boldly: "What about Mordred? Now, is Mom able to calmly face that period of the past?"

Guinevere thought of his tears and his grief-stricken expression, and replied in a daze: "Hatred is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting oneself. But for Maud, hatred may be his only salvation." ?” She shook her head with a heavy heart, he had the opportunity to bask in the sunshine all the time, but he still chose to bury himself in the abyss.

Knights full of glory, why are they all stupid fools?

"I don't know what he thinks anymore, but I still feel more heartache than hatred for him."

Her voice sounded like a sigh.

The author has something to say:
