Davian Holy Grail War

"I understand. I will obey the king's orders."

Chapter 26 Passionate Unlucky Guy

Tristan and King Mark talked about other things, and at the end of their conversation, King Mark suddenly said:

"Tristan, I'd like to trouble you to go to Ireland for the matter. After all, you are the person I trust the most and the most capable knight in the kingdom. If you go, I believe everything will be safe."

Hearing King Mark's words, Tristan subconsciously held Phil Norte tightly. Although this small movement was not noticed by King Mark, it did not escape the eyes of Davian who was closer.

Davian couldn't help but be a little surprised. What kind of thing could make Tristan so nervous subconsciously? Even a knight like him couldn't control himself.

You know, in Davian's eyes, how can one affect Tristan's emotions so that this breeze will almost turn into a tornado?

"I understand, uncle. When the time comes, I will personally lead the team to Ireland. I will accomplish this matter."

Tristan's tone remained the same, but Davian could guess that Tristan was definitely feeling uncomfortable at the moment. He became more and more curious about what the so-called Irish incident was.

"Then I'll take my leave first. Uncle, please go to bed early as well." Tristan bowed and saluted, indicating that he was about to leave.

Of course King Mark did not stop them. He let the three of them slowly leave the palace and go to Tristan's own residence.

His house is quite big, so it is not a problem to have two more people living there. However, in such a big house, he is the only one living there, without even a servant. This shows how self-disciplined and frugal Tristan is.

"You two can stay here for a few days. After I take care of everything for you, you can leave for France.

You are really lucky to have a caravan heading to the Kingdom of Benwick."

As Tristan spoke, he put down his Felnot, untied his cloak and hung it on the hanger beside him. He could be more relaxed at home, not as restrained as outside.

After Tristan finished speaking, he picked up a smaller harp beside him, sat on the windowsill and began to play it slowly.

This melody contains his inner sadness. Even someone like Davian who is not familiar with music can hear how sad and painful Tristan is at this moment.

Obviously, what King Mark said before really had a lot to do with him.

Davian pulled up a chair and sat next to him, while Tonellico watched the two men from a distance.

She could hear Tristan's sadness, but from her point of view, she felt that she should not intervene, or even just listening to this matter would be unnecessary for them.

After listening for a while, Davian spoke: "Your heart is as wild as the waves. What happened that made the world-famous Lord Tristan so confused? What exactly is the Irish thing?"

Tristan stopped fiddling with the strings. Only then did Davian notice his slender and graceful fingers. These were hands that should not be used to hold weapons. They should be used to caress the face of a lover and tell those who are full of love. Intentional words.

"That happened not long ago, right after I defeated Knight Mahans. Although I won the battle, I was also badly injured.

In order to save my life, I was sent to Ireland. There, I was treated by Princess Isolde. With her, I experienced for the first time the joy called love.

Having said this, he sighed and recalled what Isolde said to him when they parted that day.

[I will never marry without your consent; and I will marry whoever you want me to marry.]

Isolde told him these words with tears, and Tristan had no idea why she said this at the time. He was confused. It was not until he returned to Cornwall that he understood the meaning of these words.

“I had planned to find a good opportunity to ask her for marriage after I came back.

But my uncle announced after I went to Ireland that he would propose to the beautiful and gentle Princess Isolde of Ireland, and would send me, who would have recovered from my injuries, to marry her with gifts.

How did this matter turn out like this? Sigh... I am really sad. "

Davian felt numb after hearing this. He opened his mouth subconsciously, not knowing what to say to comfort Tristan in front of him.

No... This is too outrageous, isn't it? Is there a possibility that the Son of Sorrow does not refer to Tristan's origin, but to the terrible thing he is facing now.

On one side is his true love, the woman who took care of him and saved his life.

On one side is his uncle, who raised him, knighted him, and was a true blood relative to him.

This is undoubtedly a painful choice for Tristan. He cannot betray his family affection because of his love. In the end, he can only suffer the misery of this love because of his family affection.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Tonellico. No wonder she didn't say a word.

This kind of thing is indeed something that outsiders cannot interfere in, because nothing should be said. No matter what kind of advice or choice is made, it will cause Tristan pain.

This is an unsolvable choice, and he is destined to suffer inner torment.

"David, I'm actually a little envious of you now." Tristan suddenly opened his eyes, and his expression changed completely at this time.

If Tristan's handsomeness was somewhat coquettish in Davian's eyes before, then Tristan now was as hard as steel. He actually had this side that completely abandoned coquettishness and became extraordinary and heroic.

"Envy me? How could that be? Compared to you, I'm just a nobody." Davian couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. If he were praised by Tristan now, he would definitely accept it calmly.

But if the other party expressed envy, he would find it difficult to understand. There was nothing about him that Tristan could envy.

But Tristan just shook his head and slowly stated his reasons:

"I am sad that you do not see... Sincerely Davian, you have a freedom that I do not now have.

You can love and be loved. Until you become a knight and serve the chosen king, you can always enjoy the sweetness of freedom.

You don't have to make those agonizing choices, you just have to do what you want to do most right now. I really envy you, Davian, this is the freedom I have lost now."

This is what Tristan was thinking. Compared to him, Davian was not yet burdened by too many responsibilities.

He was so free, so happy, traveling to Britain and France, and he was not alone. Not to mention being caught between family and love like him.

Chapter 27 Seize the opportunity

Davian and Tonelli stayed in Cornwall these days. Tristan's words that day made Davian fall into deep thought.

Poor Tristan is stuck between love and family affection, and this sadness will probably follow him for the rest of his life. But Davian always feels that he might be like this in the future.

Free to love, or to be loved. Is this what you have now? It seems true, but what about the future? Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Will the future be the same as it is now?

He thought about this problem for a few days, and finally decided to give up thinking about it.

Even with a holy sword like the Dark Sword in his hand, Davian believes that the future is created by himself and is by no means static.

Everyone has the right to challenge fate, and so does he.

So in his free time these days, he spent it competing with Tristan.

In this era, if powerful people do not compete with each other, they can never become true close friends.

"Ah, is this the result again today? I'm so sad. As expected, I can't beat you, Davian. Your swordsmanship is really outstanding. I guess you must have been trained by someone very powerful."

Tristan stopped plucking the strings. He was invincible just now, but if he wanted to defeat Davian, it would probably become a test of endurance and eventually a battle of a thousand days.

That would go against the original intention of their competition, which is just a contest, not a fight.

"I can't defeat you either. I dare not show any flaws in front of you. If you seize the opportunity, I will be hit hard by the arrow of vacuum.

And every time I want to attack, you can quickly switch to a defensive posture, and I can't find a suitable opportunity at all."

After inserting the dark sword into the scabbard, Davian had to admit that Tristan's so-called archery skills were really amazing and very flexible.

Hearing his words, Tristan laughed silently. His smile was so clear that even Davian admitted that if he were a girl, he would have been attracted by Tristan. This guy is really handsome.

"I appreciate your praise more than those others. Ah...really, even though we've only known each other for a few days, Davian, I really think we were born to be friends."

Tristan gently plucked the strings of the harp, producing a joyful melody. At this moment, a servant came running over and whispered something in Tristan's ear. Tristan nodded as he listened, obviously there was something going on.

"I understand. You go first. I'll take care of the rest."

After Tristan asked the servant to leave, he said to Davian, "It seems that the time has come. The caravan is ready. It's time to set off, Davian, Miss Tonelico."

Hearing his words, Davian couldn't help but feel happy, and Tonellico immediately said: "Then I'll go up and pack things immediately. Just wait for me and I'll be right back."

After that, she trotted away to pack up her magic props. When Davian was practicing martial arts with Tristan, she would often perform some magic tricks that Davian couldn't understand.

Davian couldn't intervene in such matters, so he just let her do what she wanted.

When Tonelico was no longer visible, Tristan came to Davian's side, untied a small bag from his waist, and stuffed it into Davian's hand.

Davidian couldn't help but be a little surprised. He felt a sinking sensation in his hand. There was no doubt that the bag contained coins.

"What's wrong, Lord Tristan? Give me this all of a sudden." Davian was very surprised. Why did he give him money? He usually doesn't need money very much.

“I am so sad… should I call you sincere Davian or foolish Davian at this moment?

This lady has been around you for so long, but you didn't notice it at all? This lady undoubtedly has a crush on you, so you should show it."

Tristan patted Davian's hand gently, indicating that he understood everything and there was no need to say more.

"No, the relationship between her and I is not what you think..."

At this point, Davian was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to describe their relationship, because it was not something that could be easily discussed.

But Tristan showed an expression that he knew everything, and then he made a very surprising move.

Tristan gently put his arm around Davian's shoulders and whispered in his ear:

"No need to say more. I understand your shyness. I was the same at that time. But, dear Davian, the opportunity is right beside you, you should seize it.

"That's all I can do. You have to behave well when you get to France. You have to do something to make her happy, right?"

Davian looked at the bag in his hand with a complicated expression. What Merlin prepared for him was only enough for him to buy some daily necessities.

Tonelli was the one who took care of all the people along the way, and he himself was actually very embarrassed.

"Enjoy your freedom now, my friend. I can see that you have a lot on your mind, and the future may impose many chains on you that will make you miserable.

But no matter what, you are free and happy at the moment. I can't help you with anything now, so just take these. If it can make her happy, then what's wrong with spending some money? "

Perhaps because he doesn't want his tragedy to happen to others, Tristan still hopes that Davian can live a happier and freer life.

"Follow your heart, seize opportunities, and never regret. If you still don't understand this, it really makes me sad."

After Tristan finished speaking, he put down his hand and gently patted Davian on the back twice. He hoped that Davian could understand that even though they had only been together for such a short period of time, Tristan still regarded Davian as a lifelong friend.

At this time, Tonellico ran over. She saw Davian with a complicated look on his face, and Tristan who was very close to Davian. She didn't know what happened for a moment.

"I...did I come at the wrong time?" She struggled for a long time and could only say this.

"No, you're here just in time. I was just about to take you two out. If you're ready, let's go."

Tristan took a step forward, and just now he used his body to block Davian's hand holding the purse. Now if he took a step forward again, Tonelli would really not be able to see anything.

At the same time, he turned his head and signaled Davian to quickly put the money bag away with his eyes. This would not be good if he was seen.

Of course, Tonelli didn't notice these little movements between them, or even if he noticed, he didn't know what they were doing.

She just felt confused. The feelings between men were a little difficult to understand.

"Of course I'm ready, then I'll ask Lord Tristan to lead the way."

"Okay, come with me, I'll take you there right away." Tristan turned around with a smile and began to lead the way. He has said enough for today, the rest is up to Davian himself.

Chapter 28 Disaster

When Tonellico and Davian boarded the merchant ship, Davian turned to look at Tristan who was still standing on the harbor. Tristan smiled and waved goodbye to them. He believed that they would see each other again in the future.

"Work hard, Davian. I hope that when we meet next time, you will be much better than you are now."

Tristan said his farewell words with a smile, parting wishes are always good. Of course, he also hopes to see a better Davian next time.

"If I become better, you are welcome to come to me at any time. I will definitely find a position that suits you best."

Davian was just joking at this parting moment, but sometimes jokes can easily become reality.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the sincere Davian would have such a side."

Tristan felt more at ease as he watched the merchant ship slowly moving away from the harbor. At this moment, he silently wished them a smooth journey.

And when the merchant ship was completely far away, Tristan could no longer see the two people clearly. King Mark actually came to this port alone. Tristan couldn't help but be a little surprised that King Mark came here alone.

"Tristan, what do you think of these two men?"

In fact, he wanted to ask this question before, but considering that Davian and Tonelli have been with Tristan, and he himself has been busy with work these days, so he has waited until now.

"Davian will surely become an excellent knight. I always feel that he will even surpass me in the future and become unimaginable.

Miss Tonellico is also an excellent magician. I feel that she has a good personality after spending the past few days with her. She will definitely become a good wife in the future."

Tristan expressed his opinion happily, but after hearing his words, King Mark looked at Tristan in disbelief.

But then King Mark realized that Tristan didn't know the inside story either. After all, he was still young, and it was normal for him not to know many things.

But just to confirm, he asked, "Did you encourage Davian to pursue Tonelico?"

"Ah, I'm so sad... As expected of my uncle, he guessed what I did so easily. I did tell him so. After all, they are so young and I think they are a good match."

Tristan admitted it without hesitation. After hearing this, King Mark almost wanted to hold his forehead and let out a sigh. What was going on?
