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

If I have to say, the dead might be one of them.

of course.

This kind of words should never be said.

Having confirmed that he could not crack that magic, Ian knew that he could only continue to be hypocritical towards Artorius.

"Artorius, you are wrong to think this way."

"What kind of person you should be is not decided by me, but by you."

"You have the right to go north, and you have the freedom to go south - all of this is allowed on British soil."

"So--"

Artorius tilted his head back.

"Mr. Ian, do I have the right to ask you to take me around again?"

"I don't want to go back to the village yet."

be cheated.

This guy is still a bit scheming.

"Where do you want to go?" Ian asked.

"It's all right." Artorius touched Ian's hand, and this time she was obviously bolder.

"Mr. Ian, it's OK as long as you are here."

[You did not respond to Artorius's words and pulled your hand away.]

[But you did turn around as she asked.]

[The sound of horse hooves fades, and you gradually move away from the village.]

[If Kai were here, he would probably be pissed off by Artorius's initiative. ]

[You stopped on a hill, where you can overlook a large area around you.]

【The wind blowing in your face makes you feel a little more comfortable. 】

"Mr. Ian." Artorius looked at the land in front of him, and his beautiful green eyes glowed even brighter.

"Britain is such a beautiful land."

"Is that why so many knights are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect it?"

Ian nodded.

"Artorius, you are right."

"Mr. Ian, is the fighting on the front very bad?" Artorius looked towards the direction of the village.

"So many knights have escaped. Is the enemy stronger than expected?"

"..."

Ian really doesn't know how to answer this question.

After all, he had really fought with Vortigern before - the other party not only guessed all of his intentions, but also counterattacked swiftly and fiercely.

But you can't say discouraging words, right?

"Artorius, although the enemy is indeed very powerful, I believe we will win in the end."

"is it?"

Artorius smiled, and with her hair loose, she looked beautiful enough for her age.

"Mr. Ian, I feel relieved if you say so."

"Really? That's good."

"By the way, Mr. Ian, I have a question."

"Well, you ask."

"that is--"

Artorius bowed his head.

"Does my behavior just now disgust you?"

"Hate?"

"Yes." Artorius nodded. "Isn't it a bit presumptuous of me to do this?"

"Without permission—"

Artorius held up a finger and bent it slightly.

"Just sit on it."

"What do you think, Artorius?" Ian asked back.

"I don't know." Artorius shook his head. "That's exactly why I want to ask Mr. Ian how you feel!"

"Artolis, you are too direct."

“But this is the most effective way of communication, isn’t it?”

"But sometimes we need to be more tactful."

Ian sighed.

He really wanted to know why Artorius became like this - even if he wanted to kill her now.

"Artorius, since you asked, my answer is that it is indeed not very good."

"Is that really the case?"

【You find that Artorius is not upset by your words.】

[On the contrary, she seemed to have something to say. ]

You noticed this.

"Artorius, if you have any other ideas, please tell me."

"Then..." Knowing that Ian didn't like procrastination, Artorius quickly spoke again.

"Mr. Ian."

"I have an idea."

"How about this time... just pretend it never happened?"

"Didn't happen?"

"Correct!"

Artorius turned around.

"Mr. Ian thinks this is not good, and I think this is not good either."

"Then let's just pretend that this incident never happened."

"Later... when there is a better opportunity, we will start over again! Maybe then I will admit the identity Mr. Ian mentioned!"

"Mr. Ian, you can change your mind this time!"

You did not answer Artorius.

[But you clearly know that what she said is very beneficial to you - at least you don't have to worry about Artorius telling this to Kai.]

【You acquiesced.】

【But you don’t know. 】

[Your acquiescence planted a small seed in Artorius' heart.]

[The man who had no desires had selfish thoughts, and the body that stood forever was tainted with desires. ]

[One day in the future, it will eventually turn into a fruit covered with thorns. ]

49. Final Farewell Before Departure

[You and Artorius returned to the village.]

[Kai was walking back and forth at the entrance of the village with a worried look on his face.]

[You know he's so anxious because he lost you.]

[But you decided not to say anything - pretending to be confused is sometimes a great wisdom. ]

[Artorius didn't know that Kai had followed him.]

[She was in a good mood and greeted him enthusiastically. ]

"Brother!"

Artorius, who was sitting in front of Ian, waved happily.

"We're back!"

Seeing Artorius and Ian sitting on the same horse, Kai even had the urge to draw his sword.

"Artorius! What are you doing! Come down now!"

"How can you just sit on the same horse with other people?"

This time, before Artorius could speak, Ian spoke first:

"Kay."

"I am only taking Artorius to familiarize himself with the horse."

"Are you familiar with this horse?"

Kai immediately stared at the horses the two men were riding - he had not forgotten Ian's promise.

Ian knew this too.

He nodded: "Well, I plan to give this horse to Artorius."

Surprised, but not completely surprised.

Kai thought it was Ian's sweet talk, but he didn't expect him to do what he said.

"Are you serious?" he asked doubtfully. "Are you really going to give this horse to Artorius?"

"Brother!"

Artorius couldn't stand it anymore.

"What's that expression on your face? Mr. Ian really wants to give this horse to me. He even let me choose the name of the horse!"

"Even if we have chosen a name, it doesn't mean anything!" Kai still looked worried, "What if there is a price to pay?"

"These city folks are very scheming."

Seeing this, Ian did not refute.

He dismounted silently and came in front of Kai.

"Then I won't touch this horse from now on."

"I'll be out of here tomorrow morning, too—so you won't have to worry about the cost, right?"

Ian didn't say these words just to deal with Kai.

He really knew he had to go.

Artorius couldn't be killed right now - the magic in her was simply too powerful.

Then the correct thing to do is to go back and report to Morgan.

Besides, the front line has been completely defeated, and there will definitely be chaos waiting for him and Morgan, so they must discuss the next countermeasures in advance.

"..."

Kai was speechless for a moment.

Ian patted him on the shoulder with a slight smile on his face, and when passing by him, he seemed to say something murderous and heart-wrenching.
