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

"Your sister is awesome."

"Eh?"

Just as Kai realized what Ian meant by that, Artorius, who had just dismounted, stood on tiptoe and hit him on the head.

"Brother! You are such a fool! Why do you doubt Mr. Ian like that?"

"He is a good man!"

"I..." Kai was speechless.

Hearing all this, Ian couldn't help but smile smugly.

[The sun leaves Britain temporarily. 】

【You decide to rest in the same place as the knights. 】

[They never expected that someone of your status would be willing to do this, and they were surprised and grateful.]

You started chatting with them.

【You learned more about the situation on the front line from them.】

[They described vividly how powerful Vortigern's army was, and at the same time they expressed great regret that you and Morgan were not at the front line.]

[But only you know that even if you and Morgan are on the front line, you can't change this outcome. ]

[This is a losing war, and you and Morgan are just frauds whose scam has been exposed.]

【But you are not completely unsuccessful. 】

[At least you have further affirmed Vortigern's strength. ]

【Its daybreak. 】

【You were the first to wake up. 】

It’s not that Ian doesn’t want to sleep longer, but there are too many things to think about.

I haven’t had insomnia for a long time.

Ian stood up and walked outside silently.

But he never expected that as soon as he came out, he saw Artorius walking by with a bucket - he had changed into a thicker set of clothes and looked more masculine.

"Mr. Ian!"

Artorius, who was carrying the bucket, looked surprised.

"Why are you awake? Did I wake you up?"

"Nothing." Ian smiled calmly, "I just woke up early."

"Is it because the resting place is too bad that you woke up so early?"

"No, Artorius, you don't have to be suspicious." Ian stopped Artorius from thinking wildly.

"I just woke up early."

"Why did you get up so early?"

"Go, get to work!"

Artorius raised the bucket in his hand.

"I usually get up at this time to work."

"..."

Ian glanced at the several iron buckets still beside the well.

"Then let me help you."

[You are not born into a royal family of knights, so you are quite familiar with these farm tasks.]

[You successfully helped Artorius complete what she was going to do ahead of schedule.]

[You two rest under a tree.]

"Here, Mr. Ian."

Artorius handed Ian a glass of water.

"Thank you." Ian took the water.

"I didn't expect you to be capable of this, Mr. Ian..." Artorius couldn't help but sigh, "I thought someone like you wouldn't be capable of this kind of thing."

"But you did better than me!"

"Artorius, I feel underestimated by you."

"No!" Artorius shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Ian, I didn't mean that."

"I know, it was just a joke."

"Yes, really?"

Artorius blushed slightly, stole a glance at Ian beside him, and whispered.

"Well, Mr. Ian, I changed the belt. Does it look good?"

"..."

Ian glanced at Artorius's hair and nodded.

"Well, this should have happened a long time ago. It was outrageous to take a piece of cloth or something like that before."

"Yes, yes..."

Artorius covered her ponytail, looking a little embarrassed by the compliments.

However, she soon seemed to remember something and spoke again in a low voice.

"Mr. Ian, you will take those injured knights back later, right?"

Ian nodded.

"Well, that's right."

"Then...will we have a chance to meet again in the future?" Artorius raised his head, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Maybe, but I can't tell when."

"That--"

Artorius pointed a finger at Ian.

"Mr. Ian, could you please come over here for a moment?"

"..."

Although he didn't know what Artorius wanted to do, Ian still moved closer as she requested.

Mua——

The girl's lips gently left a sweet, soft and moist trace on the weathered cheek.

"Artorius, you..."

"I'm just giving it a try! Mr. Ian, please forget about this and what happened that day! There will be a better me to do these things in the future!"

"Well, please be careful on the road!"

After saying these words, Artorius covered his mouth in panic and ran away.

With a clang—he accidentally kicked over an iron bucket.

Everything returned to silence.

Ian was the only one left there, holding his cheek.

50. The possessions of possessions are still possessions

[The knights woke up one after another. ]

【They greeted you.】

[You responded to them one by one, but you were thinking about something else. ]

You find that Artorius's kiss makes you feel something fluttery inside.

You realize this is not the right emotion.

【You decide to keep it in your heart and never show it to anyone. 】

[Kai finally agreed that you are a good person.]

[He gave you the horse he had raised for a long time as a gift in return for you giving Eaststarion to Artorius.]

[Before you left, Kai apologized to you very sincerely.]

【He hopes you can forget all the unpleasant things that happened before. 】

[You look at him and find it a little funny—because you don’t take him seriously at all.]

【But you also realize that this is a brother's concern for his sister. 】

【You continue your hypocrisy, and show him in a gentle manner that you don't mind these things at all. 】

[This makes him feel that you are a generous person, and he feels even more guilty about his previous suspicion.]

[Artorius did not come out to see you off.]

【But you know she's just shy from the previous kiss. 】

[Sure enough, you soon found her hiding behind the tree and watching you. ]

【She also discovered that you discovered her. 】

[You smiled at each other and said nothing more.]

[You left the village with these knights who returned from the front line amid the farewell.]

[You are far away from the village.]

[You have arrived at a forest—it doesn’t look like a forest that people often visit.]

[In the woods, you stopped.]

"Master Ian, what's wrong?"

The knights looked at Ian who had stopped, all of them confused.

Ian turned around and placed a hand on the blade at his waist.

"nothing."

"I just want to ask you a favor."

"what's up?"

"that is--"

Ian drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at the group of injured knights in front of him.

"Can you please die here in peace?"

"what?!"

[You killed all the knights who were accompanying you.]

[This is not a difficult task for you - after all, these are all injured knights. I didn't take action before because I was afraid that other defeated knights would see it.]

【But in this forest, you don’t have to worry about this problem. 】

[The reason why you do this is also very simple. 】

[You are not sure whether Morgan's magic can affect this group of "latecomers". Rather than taking the risk of having them return to the capital to witness everything you and Morgan have fabricated, it is better to kill them here before that.]

【It's all for Morgan, but it's also all for you.】

Ian bent down, pulled the blade out of the last knight's chest, then dragged the bleeding corpse aside and hid it.

I have done this kind of thing many times, and the edges and corners in my heart have long been smoothed out, leaving nothing behind.

But to say that I felt no guilt at all would be a complete lie.
