In Xingyue, my sister Aozaki Aoko

"Don't worry, this matter is absolutely true. The child did promise to help you hide this from the public and hold this 'ceremony' called a wedding with you."

As for whether this "ceremony" can become real in the future, it depends on you...

Merlin echoed casually, without any falsehood in his words.

He looked at the girl who was tense, anxious and joyful, and smiled silently.

——I, I can only help you so far, Arturia.

......

【You agreed to Merlin's request to assist in the "ceremony". 】

【The only thing that puzzles you is that since that day, for some reason, the knights of the round table smiled contentedly when they saw you, but they didn't tell you when you asked why. 】

【Also, your step-sister Artoria has also become a little abnormal, as if she is deliberately avoiding you, and has not come to your room every night like usual for the past few days. 】

【You feel a little confused, and always feel that something seems to be developing quietly when you don't know it. 】

[As time passed day by day, finally, the day of the "ceremony" that Merlin mentioned came. 】

Volume 62: Chapter 059 [-]: Huh?no it's guinevere

"Is that enough?"

In the bedroom, the clothes needed for the "ceremony" that Merlin called, Aozaki Rin didn't think there was anything strange, but just opened his mouth to confirm with Merlin.

"Of course! Next, you just need to remember what I said before, just follow Artoria quietly, otherwise, the 'ritual' may fail."

Looking at the boy who was wearing a pure white cloak and a hood instead of a close-fitting black dress as in the past, the boy who already made people feel that his stunning and lovely face added a sense of dignity , Merlin nodded in satisfaction.

"I see."

Ao Qi Rin nodded solemnly, with seriousness on her small face.After all, this is a matter of appeasing the hearts of the people, and he directly treats this matter as military affairs.

"Then I will make the final preparations now, and remember not to speak casually when I go out later, eh."

Merlin chuckled, holding a wand in his hand, his face became a little more serious.

And as he finished reciting the lengthy spell in his mouth, a white light suddenly flashed across the boy's body.

After the light dissipated, the boy who was still wearing a black dress had turned into a petite "girl" in a pure white dress.

The "girl" wore a gorgeous wreath on her head and a transparent gauze, her black hair smoothly slid over her white and greasy back like porcelain, and hung down to her slender waist.Under his white and slender neck, the clavicle slightly exposed to the air has clear lines, and the two exposed shoulders are smooth and delicate, and under a lace dress with a slightly split hem, the white and tender legs wrapped in white silk lightly step on wearing high heels.

And "her"'s pretty face looks like the most perfect creation of nature, her cherry-colored thin lips are gently pursed, and the golden eyes that should be out of focus also have a false sense of agility, which looks delicate cute.

Merlin carefully looked at the illusion on the boy's body, and after finding no flaws, his eyes flashed with complacency and boastfulness.

However, it is also because the boy's aptitude is too good that he can develop such an image on this basis. To be honest, Merlin was a little surprised.

As for Ao Qi Rin, he didn't feel anything special, but felt that there seemed to be something more on his body, as if he was covered with a layer of air.

"Okay, let's go out now."

Merlin withdrew his thoughts and greeted, and Rin Aozaki also remembered what the other party said before, and followed behind the white-robed magician in silence.

And outside the door, Artoria, who seemed to be waiting for a long time, also made a special dress today.

The bright silver skirt armor and blue cloak she wore on weekdays have been removed, and she has changed into a more suitable men's blue dress, which makes her look awe-inspiring and reliable.

It's just that compared to the past, there was a little nervousness on her pretty face. After taking a few deep breaths quietly, she gradually calmed down. At the same time, the door just opened at this moment.

Staring at the petite, delicate and lovely "girl" who followed Merlin, although Altria had long been mentally prepared that the boy would be put on an illusion, she was still stunned for a moment, subconsciously. opened the mouth.

"kindness?"

After all, in her imagination, even with the illusion, it should not be too different from the boy's original appearance.

But at this moment, Artoria felt inexplicably frustrated that her self-esteem as a woman had been shattered.

"Mmmm!"

Fortunately, Merlin coughed and reminded in time, which brought the girl who was almost in self-doubt back to her senses.

"H-I'm sorry, let's go then...No, Guinevere."

She changed her words in a panic, Artoria hesitated for a few seconds, and then seemed to muster up the courage to hold the boy's hand, while Rin Aozaki just blinked with some doubts in the process, but she was still obedient did not make any sound.

Being gently pulled forward by Arturia, Rin Aozaki didn't show much expression on his face, but on the road, he could hear some congratulatory voices from the knights of the round table and a few words of congratulations from time to time. The laughter and laughter made him feel a little puzzled.

Of course, what the boy didn't know was that the illusion performed by Merlin not only changed his appearance in the eyes of others.

In order to prevent the plan from being exposed, Merlin even distorted any external voices about the word "marriage" or "wedding" to a certain extent, making it impossible for the boy to tell what the people around him were celebrating.

"Is that really true?"

Lancelot looked at the petite figure standing beside Arturia. Although the Knights of the Round Table learned about the whole plan from Merlin at the beginning, the current situation still surpassed him. expectations.

After all, just for a moment, he was almost charmed by the illusion image on the boy.

"It should be called Guinevere now."

Gao Wen stood aside and reminded, looking at the backs of the two people in the distance, with a smile and relief in his eyes, and said helplessly at the same time.

"Whoever made my king hesitate to make up his mind, Merlin had no choice but to do so. But all in all, this is a good thing."

"...that's right."

After recovering, Lancelot nodded in agreement, with a blessed smile on his face.

Of course, Rin Aozaki did not know about the private discussions of the Knights of the Round Table.

After following Arturia's footsteps and leaving the castle, Rin Aozaki accompanied the girl into an open carriage.

After all, since it is intended to appease the hearts of the people, it must be done thoroughly.

After deliberation, Merlin persuaded Artoria to agree to walk around the city of Camelot for a week, so that all the people could see the fact that she was "married".

Cheers and congratulations kept ringing out, and there was an irresistible excitement amidst the noise.

Because Ao Qi Rin can't see the specific situation of the outside world, she can only occasionally hear words such as "I didn't expect the king to like this petite type", "It seems that the king will have an heir soon", "As expected of my king" Wait for the weird whispers.

Fortunately, all he heard were strange words of blessing, and there were no special questions.

From this point of view, the "ceremony" should have gone quite smoothly.

The boy thought silently in his heart, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was smiling.

And the rest, of course, went very smoothly.

After going around for a while, and then quietly listening to a group of people having a lively banquet in the castle, I don’t know how many hours later, Rin Aozaki smelled alcohol faintly on his body, and Alto, who seemed slightly drunk Accompanied by Liya, she returned to her room.

What he didn't know was that the moment he returned to the room, the illusion on his body disappeared automatically, and his figure changed back to the appearance of a boy.

Artoria stared blankly at the boy sitting by the bed. Under the candlelight, the boy's fair skin seemed to have a layer of crimson, and his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was carefully exploring the surroundings, cautiously so cute.

"kindness......."

Inspired by the incitement of the knights of the round table before returning to the room, Altria murmured softly, and the dull hair on her head raised up unconsciously. When he was about to get up and walk towards the boy, Rin Aozaki suddenly said.

"Sister, has the 'ceremony' ended successfully?"

"'ceremony'?"

The girl's movements stopped suddenly, and she couldn't understand what the boy was saying.

"That's... Merlin said to use a special illusion to hide the truth from everyone, to create a 'ceremony' of the fact that my sister has already 'married'."

Ao Qi Rin lowered his voice and said gently, after all, in his opinion, this is a very important secret, and it must not be known by others.

Artoria blinked blankly, and after a while, she seemed to understand something, her thin eyebrows were tightly frowned, a little anger appeared in her holy blue eyes, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.

"...Okay, Merlin. You said you didn't lie to En, but he didn't even know it was a wedding..."

"Sister, what wedding?"

"No, it's nothing, I just slipped my tongue accidentally just now. That, that, the 'ceremony' went smoothly, everyone is at ease, ha ha."

I wanted to tell the truth directly, but Arturia stopped unconsciously when the words reached her throat.

Although all of this was indeed due to Merlin's deceit, the process of the matter had already been completed, and the girl still vaguely wanted to keep this trace of beauty and fantasy in her heart.

Furthermore, Artoria was also a little worried. If she really told the truth, she was a little worried about whether she would become the kind of "evil sister" who teamed up with outsiders to deceive the boy in the boy's mind.

So, in a short moment of thinking, Artoria made such an explanation.

But after blurting out the words, she regretted a little, so she sulked for a while as if complaining to herself, and then glanced at the boy unwillingly, then hugged the boy's body as usual, rolled onto the bed, sideways He buried his face in the pillow and said sullenly.

"sleep."

"......Um."

Although he didn't understand why his sister-in-law became a little upset, Rin Aozaki, who was hugged tightly, didn't think much about it, but felt that today's "ceremony" probably made the girl feel a little hard.

He stretched out his hand, touched the girl's head lightly, and said words of comfort and encouragement.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister, you have done enough."

"...That's not what I want to hear."

However, even with such words, the girl who has not yet had the courage to speak softly to herself only after the boy fell asleep.

[The smooth holding of the "ceremony" has obviously calmed down the restless hearts of the people, and you are also relieved about this. 】

[The only thing that puzzles you is that that night, when your righteous sister Artoria was holding you to sleep, you could occasionally hear a strange laugh like "hehe" from her mouth, which made you not understand What did my righteous sister dream of to be so happy. 】

[And in the same way, the next morning, when you were practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard of the castle as usual, the Knights of the Round Table pushed and pushed each other to come to you as usual, until the knights they chose as representatives Gao Wen had no choice but to stand in front of you, and asked you a strange question softly. 】

【"Your Excellency, how did you rest last night?"】

【You are a little confused why the other party asked such a question, but since this is the other party's concern, you also truthfully answered Gao Wen saying that everything is fine and there is no problem. 】
