In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"What do you mean by 'I'm not cut out for this kind of thing'?"

"Artorius, don't be angry with me." Kai was not afraid of Artorius's anger at all, "You know what's going on better than me."

"You should know how your father wants to train you!"

"He taught you swordsmanship and etiquette in order to make you more suitable for the development of a knight!"

"You should know that if ..."

Kai glanced at Artorius and hesitated to speak.

Artorius was silent for a while, then spoke again:

"Brother...I understand what you mean, and I know you care about me."

"But, within the scope of my ability and control, I think I should have the right to make my own choices, right?"

"You!" Kai was a little anxious, "Artorius! It's wrong for you to think like that!"

"Right or not, I have to wait for myself to practice."

Artorius turned back.

"I have my own way of solving problems."

"See you later, brother."

"I have to get back to Mr. Ian."

[After hearing what Artorius said, you realized that you had to go back first.]

【But before that, you noticed that Kai was still worried about his brother. 】

[You know he will be watching you and Artorius from behind.]

[It's just that you have something more important than this. ]

[Artorius seems to be hiding a bigger secret. 】

[You realize that you may have to get in touch with Artorius again in a deeper way.]

44. Artorius and the War Horse

[You returned to the knights' resting place earlier than Artorius.]

[He didn't notice anything unusual about you and greeted you. ]

"Mr. Ian!"

"Oh... Artorius, are you back?" Ian pretended nothing had happened and started chatting.

"How was it? You weren't scolded by your brother, were you?"

"This..." Artorius showed a slightly embarrassed expression, "No, my brother is a very good person, he would not blame others casually."

Although there were some minor unpleasantness between me and Kai just now.

But in front of outsiders, Artorius still protects his family very much.

Ian could fully understand this behavior - just like King Uther, although he did not want Morgan to succeed to the throne, he still retained the last dignity for her in front of the soldiers.

An exiled princess and a princess guarding Camelot are two completely different concepts.

but--

Ian observed his surroundings calmly and soon noticed Kai hiding nearby.

Just as previously guessed.

Despite the quarrel with Artorius, Kai still cares about him.

It would be inconvenient to ask anything if he kept staring at me like this - I had to get Kai out of the way first.

After thinking for a while, Ian had an idea.

"Yes, indeed. Although your brother seems to be a little impatient, he must care about you very much."

"Even now, he is still guarding you every step of the way."

Artorius is not stupid.

When Ian said this, he immediately realized something.

He turned around following Ian's gaze, and then saw Kai not far away.

"Mr. Ian, please wait for me for a moment."

【Artorius stood up.】

[As Artorius stood up, so did the ahoge on top of his head that he couldn't suppress no matter how hard he tried. 】

[You watched him walk up to Kai, put his hands on his waist and started arguing with his brother.]

[Kai seemed to know that he was in the wrong, and finally he could only compromise and leave. ]

[Artorius returns to your side once again. ]

"Why did he leave?" Ian asked knowingly.

"Are you angry?"

"No." Artorius calmed down a little, "He had unfinished business, and now he just went back to finish it."

"That's it..."

Ian smiled.

"But then again, you were really impressive in the debate just now."

"I've never seen you like that before."

"This!" Artorius blushed, "Mr. Ian, I didn't mean to hide that look from you!"

"Don't be nervous."

Ian patted Artorius' head.

"I didn't say you were hiding it on purpose."

"It's just that I think this kind of personality is what you should have."

"What should I have?" Artorius was puzzled.

"Yes." Ian nodded, "People who practice swordsmanship should have a bit of toughness."

"Is that right?"

Artorius did not deny Ian's words.

It can be seen that he more or less agrees with this statement.

However, just as Ian was about to say something else, he felt that familiar gaze appear again.

【Kai is back again.】

[But this time, he was much smarter - he knew how to use small talk with others as a cover.]

[It's just that for you, this kind of disguise is really meaningless. ]

[But you also realize that it is pointless to let Artorius blame his brother like this - it won't drive him away.]

[You know you have to resort to some means.]

"Artorius."

"Why, what's the matter, Mr. Ian?"

"Would you like to try horseback riding?"

"horse riding?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "This time, I went out on horseback."

There was a gleam in Artorius's green eyes.

"Is this really okay?"

"of course."

"Then Mr. Ian, I'm counting on you!"

"Well, come with me."

You have a valid reason.

[You hold Artorius's hand and walk out.]

[Sure enough, Kai is still following behind.]

【But you don’t mind. 】

[You brought Artorius to your own horse.]

"Mr. Ian." Artorius looked very surprised. "Is this your horse?"

Ian nodded.

"Correct."

"Isn't this horse well-bred?" Artorius sighed as he stood in front of the warhorse and looked at its mane.

"Excellent coat color, strong limbs, and these newly-made horseshoes!"

"Mr. Ian, it will definitely feel lucky to be your warhorse!"

This time it was Ian's turn to be surprised.

"Artorius, do you know so much about horses?"

"Yes." Artorius's slightly raised eyebrows showed that he was a little proud at the moment.

"Mr. Ian, this is something a knight must know, so I still have a certain degree of understanding."

"Your warhorse is indeed excellent."

"..."

Ian glanced calmly at Kai who was hiding in the dark, and then at Artorius who was very happy because it involved something he knew.

He hesitated for a while and said:

"Well, Artorius."

"I'll give you this horse."

"what?"

Artorius was stunned at first, and then he suddenly reacted.

"No, no, no!" He waved his hands. "Mr. Ian, how can I take your horse?"

"If that's the case, you'll be left without a horse!"

"It doesn't matter." Ian seemed very calm. "Just find a horse in the village for me to ride back."

"I'll just get another horse when we get to Camelot."

Camelot certainly had no shortage of war horses.

After all, both Ian himself and Morgan are quite sensitive about this matter.

"This……"

Seeing that Artorius was still hesitant, Ian continued.

"Artorius, every knight should have his own horse."

"Since you know it so well, I think it will be happy to receive this appreciation."

"Mr. Ian..."

"Okay." Ian patted Artorius' shoulder gently.

"Just try getting on the horse first. You have to take this step eventually."
