"clang!"

Blood red paints the earth, gunpowder smoke fills the battlefield, and the swords in the hands of the king and the king rubbed bright sparks. With the sacrifice of the soldiers, facing the similar face with a bloodthirsty smile in front of him, the calm eyes of the king's lake water began to produce slight waves ...

"What's the matter? Your sword doesn't seem to have much power! My lord! This can also be called the lion of Great Britain, the king of knights? Don't laugh so hard!" All the power caused the sword to produce a piercing hum in the air, beating the king back steadily and gaining the upper hand.

King Arthur?The bitter girl knight in the king's heart cannot be known. Rather than being a king, I want to stand in front of you as a father at this moment...

"..." The two swords were handed over again. Wang took advantage of the huge strength of the girl's sword to make a living while taking advantage of the opponent's new strength. Instead of retreating as before, he turned around 360° on the ground with his feet as the axis, and the sword in his hand Standing next to the girl knight's shoulder, the king could chop off the girl knight's head with just a few more swings, but the king stopped before that, which made the originally rapid fighting rhythm stagnate for a moment.

"Why, Mordred..." The king's sword shone a little golden light on the shoulder of the young knight, and the king's lake-like green pupils seemed to be able to precipitate impurities from the depths. He didn't understand why his child would betray him. I am obviously the only person closest to me left in the world.

The girl knight stared blankly at the sword on her shoulder, then raised her head to meet the eyes of the king with complex emotions such as helplessness, pity, and regret. The sword rested away from his shoulder, and he quickly retreated away from where the king was. Facing the girl's movements, the king didn't pursue and just stood there quietly.

The girl knight said with a hint of coldness in her tone: "What do you mean? To me, a child you have never paid attention to since childhood! You still ask me 'why', what is this!? Pity me? I don't need things! What I need is to defeat you! Surpass you! Then replace you as the new king of this country! Not as your son of King Arthur, to inherit what you left behind! I have my dignity! I don't want it Live under your brilliance! Arthur! If your sword stops again, I will cut it off! Absolutely! Just like the sword in the stone that was cut off by someone before!"

Sword in the Stone!

The king tightened his hands on the golden sword in his hand. While blocking the girl's attack, his eyes couldn't help recalling that his previous sword was broken because of doubts and confusion about his beliefs. The sword was very similar to the king's sword in his hand. sword.

At the same time, I also felt endless pain from the girl knight's speech. Sure enough... I still can't do it... All the important people have already left one after another. The king really doesn't want to see his child again, and he also wants to die under his sword!This war was a mistake from the very beginning!This error cannot be allowed to continue!

"King Arthur! Get serious!"

Seeing that the king's sword had never shown any fighting intent towards herself, the girl knight began to get a little impatient, and her continuous offensive became heavier. What she wanted to hit was the invincible King Arthur, and what she wanted to defeat was the brave Fearless King Arthur, what she wants to defeat is an invincible hero King Arthur, she wants to defeat the complete King Arthur, not this father who keeps his hands on him and is full of compensation for himself!

"Cut!" The girl knight knocked the king back with a sword. Seeing the king's sword-holding posture like an empty frame, the girl knight pulled the corner of her mouth and said with a sly smile: "Well! Since you want to lose to me so much, you want to lose to me so much. Die on my sword! Then I will fulfill you, sure enough... It is really a misfortune for the country to have a king like you. No matter how wise you are, your kindness has become your most fatal shortcoming! Feelings are always invincible Let you build a truly complete and beautiful country!"

Wang raised his head and said with deep eyes: "The king is not a machine, whether it is a tyrant or a benevolent king! What a king without emotion builds is not a country! It is a pile of decayed skeletons!"

"Hey~! Heh heh heh... Skeleton base? Like you now!? Hahahahaha——" the girl knight held her forehead with one hand, raised her head and laughed wildly, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Then what did you get !?" The girl knight suddenly stopped laughing, and asked the king with a ferocious face: "Your kindness! The betrayal you got! Your feelings! What you caused is the root of the war! If you say that what I piled up are skeletons, then you Your country has now become a dead city! Open your eyes and see! Your soldiers! Your people! What is shed on the ground now is the blood of your people!"

"...Ah... I admit that along the way, my eyes were once blinded by emotion. I could avoid everything, but I chose to start a war. When I chose the sword and the scabbard, I was aware of the fact that Disqualification for the king..." The king looked at the golden long sword in his hand with dull eyes, and then his eyes turned firm again for a moment, and said: "But! My knight, Zeng Jin used blood to pull me back from the lost way! For me Paved the way forward, Mordred, you are wrong, I do not want to die by your sword, nor will I give up this country to you! My throne can only be passed on to my heirs, can I The sheath that protects this country! That person is definitely not you! So... I cannot lose this war! For my children!"

"... If you are uncomfortable..." The girl knight said with a flash of light in her eyes: "So, even if you sacrifice half of the country that you worked hard for, you still have to leave the throne to that brat who doesn't understand anything! How do you love her? That despicable and disgusting woman!"

"Mordred! Take back what you just said!" Wang's calm eyes, when he heard the girl knight's insult to his wife, he was angry for the first time, and said: "Even if you betray me and plunge this country into flames, even I don't care if you are my enemy! Because you are my child, I owe you all these, but! Only all the words that insult her, I swear that I will never bear them again!"

"Throat? So what if I don't take it back?" Seeing the change in Wang's momentum, the smile on Mordred's face gradually grew stronger, but there was a sour depression in his heart, and a raging anger wanted to vent from his heart. : "I just want to scold! I just want to insult her! The more you care about it, the more I hate it! Slut! A shameless bitch! A bitch who cheats on her husband and seduces knights! A woman like this, there is What qualifications do you have to be the queen of this country! What qualifications do you have to love!! A woman who can stand by your side! A woman who can make you love! There is only one! But that person is definitely not that bitch Guinevere! A stupid woman like my mother! It's me..."

"Crack~!" The king's combat boots made a deep footprint on the ground, and his figure flew out like a swift arrow. In an instant, he came in front of the girl knight who hadn't reacted yet. All defensive postures blocked all her counterattack routes. She released the hilt of her left hand and raised it, and the palm of her hand fell forcefully on the girl knight's face.

Wang's slap in the face made the young knight wake up from her anger. She lowered her head and took a few steps back, her eyes were buried in the haze of golden bangs on her forehead, and there was a bloodshot in the corner of her mouth, which made it difficult to see clearly what she was doing at the moment. expression…

After venting his anger, the king realized what he had done, and although he looked at the knight girl with regret, he did not regret it... Only Guinevere, he must not let anyone insult her!absolute!

"Hehe... Are we all sober? It seems that I am immature. Emotions are amazing... Sorry, I lost my composure just now..." The girl knight raised her hand to wipe off her recent bright red, and raised her sword with fighting spirit in her eyes. Reignite it, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, only that woman can cheer you up again. I really don't know what kind of magic she has that can affect you..."

"You... just did it on purpose..." Wang looked at the girl in front of him complicatedly. The sword in his hand was completely different from the previous weight. He couldn't fall down here. Wang and this broken country still have hope for the future!My wife has used her life to leave a new seed for the country to recover, and I have to be responsible for developing it, and use the sword in my hand to guard the sheath to protect the country in the future!

"Modred... Next, I will be the king!" The king stared at the girl's green pupils, and said solemnly: "In order for the seeds of the country to continue to grow, I will drive away all the gravel and weeds that threaten him." ! Have you made up your mind!?"

"Hmph... Awakening..." The girl knight rushed forward, slashed at the king with the sword in her hand, and looked at the king she wanted to see in her eyes... "...I already had it when I picked up the sword. !Kill you! Arthur——!”

The sleeping lion woke up from his sleep, and the strong lion cub waved his immature but sharp claws at the lion. As a king, he had no choice from the very beginning when he set foot on this road. ...

…fate…

"what--!!"

"Aha--!!"

Sure enough, my hands are lazy... I can't break through [-]...

sword and scabbard

"what--!!"

"Aha--!!"

The clash of swords and the testimony of king and king all stem from that distant memory...

……

"Shut up all of them!"

The king's roar interrupted the nobles who were speaking, and as rumors that were not good for the king and queen began to spread, finally the worst thing happened.

The nobles, who became more and more dissatisfied with the policies the king had implemented in the past few years, finally took advantage of the time when the king went out to inspect the border, and deliberately arranged the scene where the queen and the king's knight Lancelot met, and It was revealed on the spot that the knight was imprisoned on the charge of fabricating a tryst between the two, while the queen was only detained in the palace because the nobles were afraid of the majesty of the king and did not dare to go too far.

When the king came back, he heard the news that the rumors had penetrated into the people, so that the king could not suppress the spread of the rumors for a while, so he could only return to the city quickly, and cast a terrible haze on the Wang's originally sunny face, calling All the nobles involved in this matter.

'angry! 'The flames continued to spread from the king's heart!What he was angry with was not the affair between his wife and the knight. He knew that his wife would not betray him. There was no doubt about it. What he was really angry with was the despicable means of the nobles, who were so bold as to break into the palace openly. Imprisoning his own knight like this, what is this!Had so many years of peace made them forget the existence of the Great British Lion?If so, then the king would not mind letting them recall the pain of being torn apart by the lion!

"Now! Release Lancelot from prison immediately!"

"It can't be done, king..."

"What did you say…"

Just when the king couldn't restrain himself and wanted to vent his anger on the nobles, following a series of hurried footsteps, the door of the meeting hall was opened, and the maidservant who originally served the queen was short of breath at the moment, and ran over to the king's house regardless of her status. in front of...

"The queen... she is going to give birth!"

Guinevere she...! ?The shocking news made the king unable to calm down for a while, and he got up and walked to the harem regardless of the nobles' obstruction.

"Kay! I'll leave it to you! Don't let anyone bother me now, anyone who breaks the law will be killed!"

"Follow your will! King!"

The knight with cold and stern eyes blocked the exit door with his body as the king, looked at the nobles who were about to move in front of him, and pulled out the knight sword in his hand, like a wolf smelling blood, restraining the nobles' actions.

……

When the king followed the maid to the door of the bedroom with hurried steps, he heard the painful groans from the queen in the room, which made the king frown involuntarily, turned to the maid and said, "Why didn't you tell me when you came earlier?" I!"

"It's the queen who doesn't let us..." The maid who had never seen a gentle king before, with such a serious expression, replied with a trembling tone.

'Until now, have you been thinking about me...'

Across the door, listening to his wife's voice, Wang kept walking back and forth in front of the door. Now he can do nothing but wait. Wang has never been so powerless before. While waiting, Wang also realizes that It turns out that I am not omnipotent, whether it is to cut off the rumors that are unfavorable to his wife, or to save the stigma of his knight, in front of the nobles and the instigating people, the king is faced with a difficult choice... The nobles compromised and returned to those exploitative policies.Still adopt iron and blood methods to launch compulsory suppression against the people.

No matter which item the king is unwilling to choose, the people who will be affected and suffer like this will only be the people of this country...Damn it!What should I do!

"Wow ~ wow ~!"

Just when Wang was in trouble, the cry of a baby coming from the room brought Wang's distressed thoughts back to reality.

"The king! The queen has given birth!"

"Guinevere!"

Hearing the surprise voice of the maidservant, Wang couldn't wait to push open the door separating himself and his wife and children, and rushed in!

……

"Hee~ah~ow~~"

"Hehe, look at Artorius, he is smiling...so cute...so cute, this child is so small, his eyes are exactly like yours..." The face of the queen who had just given birth was pale , lost the rosiness of the past, but the smile on his face could not conceal the joy of the new life in his heart... "Nah, Artorius, give the child a name..."

"Well, yes... name..." Seeing the child's drowsy look, Wang chuckled and stretched out his finger, touching his child for the first time, "Len...hope This child can grow up healthy like a lion in the future and protect this country..."

"Lenn..." The house is covered with the blue and white roses that the queen likes. On the white sheets that have been changed, watching his wife fiddle with the little hands of the child in her arms with a haggard face, there is a smile on her face. Mother's great kindness.

The warmth that is within reach in front of him makes Wang happy, but at the same time, a layer of haze is cast in his heart, which makes the originally hesitant balance begin to tilt slowly... Protect, want to protect... Even if I sacrifice everything, I will Protect them, even if you bear the name of cruelty, even if you hear thousands of insults, don't let them suffer any harm...

However, it would be great if I was just an ordinary husband and father instead of being a king!In that way, I can no longer bear any responsibilities, and do what I want without worrying about anything, but the sword in my hand keeps reminding me of the oath I made when I became king that day. The title of king once again pushed me to the center of the decision. The smile on his face seemed a little stiff.

"It's great that I was able to have this baby..."

The queen didn't seem to notice the abnormality in the king's heart, she still smiled gently and calmly, and gently stroked the child's pink face with her fingers, one time, two times... repeating this simple but full of mother's endless feelings back and forth. A gentle gesture, but does the queen really not know?No, she who understands her husband, just as he understands himself, knows the difficulties he is facing at the moment. After spending a peaceful moment with the king, the queen raised her head and said to the king: "Artoris, don't forget...to create a A country where everyone cries and everyone rejoices, isn't this the ideal you dreamed of as King Arthur of Great Britain? So, don't look at me and the child with such an expression, we don't want to be your burden... The birth of this child is not To bring a burden to the country, but to be the hope of the country..."

"I'm sorry, Guinevere..." The king hugged his wife and children with his arms, feeling the warm and familiar embrace of her husband, the queen tilted her head slightly and said, "Why do you have to apologize? You are the king, no matter what you do Decided, as your wife, I will support you... Artorius, no, King Arthur... Promise me, before becoming my husband and the father of my child, I will first become the king of the country, is that okay?"

Hearing the queen's request, the king's trembling body froze suddenly, his emerald green pupils were buried in the haze, "Before being a husband and father, first be a king..."

The queen gently stroked the stiff face of the king, and said softly: "You have the dream entrusted to you by your father, you have the faith entrusted to you by all the knights who follow you, you have the responsibility entrusted to you by this country and its people, you Have…"

"Shut up please? I don't want to hear this right now..."

Wang had a hoarse voice. It was the first time in his life that he said such words to his wife. He held the two of them tightly in his arms, for fear that he would lose the only warmth. Now he just wanted to be quiet and use his own hands to protect them.

The queen did not have any emotional fluctuations because of the change in the king's tone towards herself. She still snuggled into the king's arms with a peaceful smile, and continued: "You have everyone, including me and the child, entrusting you with trust. You are the king, the king of this country. king…"

Wang, with this helpless and heavy title, spent a day with his wife and children in front of the bed, and then walked out of the room with confused eyes.

Seeing the back of the king who was still hesitant when he left, the queen's crimson eyes were hiding the emotion of looking at the baby in her arms, and the next moment it turned into meaningless determination, "Forgive me, Lun...Since Your father can't make a choice, so as a wife, I will help him make a selfish decision..."

The queen lowered her head and gently kissed the face of the sleeping baby in her arms, a drop of wet and warm tears dripped down her face...

……

The king, who returned to the throne again, faced the arguments of the ministers, kept his hands on his sword and bowed his head without saying a word. The raindrops outside the house beat on the window, sending out a chaotic rhythm, just like composing the king's state of mind at the moment …

As the king's knight, the king's best friend, standing beside the king, Kai is the only one who can see behind the golden bangs, those emerald green eyes full of anger, killing intent, hesitation, sadness, reluctance... all kinds of complex emotions The pupils of the eyes are no longer as clear as the lake water as usual, but become cloudy and deep.

"Arthur..." Just as Kay was about to speak to comfort the king, the door was knocked open by a slender figure, and at the same time, a thunderbolt outside the window, shining blue light on the king's face...

"King! The king...the queen she...she..."

"Boom~!"

The emerald green pupils that gradually expanded took away all the emotions of the king in an instant, and the sword in the stone, which symbolized kingship, fell from his hand, and the silence in the hall was like the calm before the storm...

……

"bump!"

Following the sound of thunder and lightning in the air, Wang once again came to the door of the room full of warm memories during the day, but when he reached out to push the door again, it was so heavy.

Through the space between the cracks of the door, Wang walked in with heavy steps, listening to the cries of the baby in the cradle and the commotion outside the door, the air was originally filled with the fragrance of roses, but now it was filled with a faint smell of blood. The dark space in the house Under the flickering of thunder and lightning outside the window, it became like daytime.

Seeing that the queen's white dress was stained with traces of blood, she lay quietly on the ground, the blood seeped into the blood-red carpet through the cross dagger stuck in her chest, and scattered around her were some clothes stained with the queen's blood. Blue and white rose petals, telling the withering of life...

The king stepped on unhurried steps, leaned over and squatted beside the queen, took off the wide cloak on his shoulders and covered the queen, held her in his arms, gently wiped the blood from the queen's mouth with his hands, felt Watching the gradually disappearing body temperature in his arms, Wang's emerald green eyes stared quietly at the queen's dimming crimson pupils, as if he was questioning, but also as if he was trying to keep him. After becoming a king, the first silent drop Tears began to flow from Wang's eyes.

"..." Even though the vision in front of her eyes was blurred, the queen could still feel the presence of the king. Even though she couldn't utter any words, the queen used her last smile to turn into eternity in an instant, and finally moistened the king's frozen heart. He left the last seed of glory in his heart...

She, a good wife, couldn't bear to see her husband face difficulties and suffer sometimes, so she made the hardest choice for him, and she proved her innocence by dying, and shed her stigma.

She is a good mother. Knowing her existence, she will make her child suffer endless rumors on the road to becoming a king in the future, and she will pave the way for her child with blood.

She is a good queen. When there was a gap between the king and the country, she gave up her own happiness and left the future seeds and hope for the king and the country with her life...

She...is Arthur's wife, a woman who gave everything for her husband and children, Queen of Great Britain, Guinevere...
