Fairy Britain, they all want to raise me?

Listening to Guinevere's conjecture, Rico lowered her eyes and said nothing more, but her hands twisted the hem of her skirt a little tighter.

"——Are you actually a goblin who has followed Morgan for a long time, and was later sent by her to be Bavanshi's bodyguard?"

"...Why do you think so?"

After two seconds of silence, Rico asked aloud.

"As a maid, don't you think you know too many secrets?"

"Elves have no lifespan limit," Rico said lightly, "I just happened to be lucky enough to survive the disasters I have encountered since I was born. And no matter who it is, as long as they live for a long time, they will always know something. It will be more.”

"Bavanshi was given the name by Tristan only 100 years ago. A hundred years is nothing to the fairy's time scale."

"Eh? Are you that old? You look so young?" Hearing this, Guinevere couldn't help but clicked her tongue, "You're old enough to be my great-grandmother."

"...Lord Guinevere, don't you think our topic is a little off?"

Although Rico still maintained the polite smile on her face at this moment, at the same time, Guinevere felt that the air around her suddenly became a bit colder.

Since Guinevere knew her, he had never seen any expression other than calmness and smile on the face of this maid. It can be said that she brought the elegance that a lady should have to the extreme. The reason why Guinevere felt that she My identity cannot be just that of a maid, and there are reasons for this.

But even so, Guinevere instinctively felt the chill on the back of his neck this time, and quickly changed his words:

"Ah... I'm sorry, if you don't like it, I won't bring up the boring topic of age again -"

"No, please wait a moment." However, at this time, Rico refused to cross the topic easily. She gently put a hand on Guinevere's shoulder, moved a little closer, and said with a smile:

"I want to clarify that it's not that I resist talking about age, it's just that this issue is really meaningless to the existence of goblins. Please don't look at this issue based on the short life span of humans... .”

"oh oh......"

He could vaguely feel the power contained in the hand on his shoulder. He briefly recalled that the maid lady had shown a force value that was far above that of the demon. Based on the instinct of survival, Guinevere quickly Nodding his head:

Yes, yes, you are right, everything you said is right.jpg

But Rico didn't seem to want to let him go just like that. At this time, she had already carefully counted them one by one:

"Speaking of which, although everyone looks very young, in fact most of the fairy lords you can name are no longer young. A lord like Bavanshi who has only been in power for 100 years is considered very young. , Noknare is also over 100 years old, Bagster was born more than 400 years ago, and Murien is more than 200 years old..."

"Oh, by the way, there's that stupid Meluzina... No, you don't know her name yet, do you? It's the Elf Knight Lancelot. Not to mention her original body, just because she became an elf and It was already 400 years ago that I was awarded the title. If I didn’t mention it, I don’t think you would notice it at all, right?”

"Then, it's true. For fairies whose lifespan is not limited, age is really just a number." Guinevere nodded repeatedly and subconsciously responded:

"How old are you, Miss Rico?"

"..."

As a result, the maid who had been chattering a while ago suddenly fell silent.

"...If you think about it carefully, as you said, the topic of age is indeed boring,"

Rico withdrew her hand from Guinevere's shoulder, took a slight step back, and stood quietly on the spot again:

"Let's get down to business. Where did we just talk?"

"Uh...you asked me why I thought you would be the escort sent by the queen..." Guinevere said cautiously.

"Sorry, I just disturbed your train of thought. Please continue." Rico bowed slightly and quickly apologized.

"This... is mainly due to the flavor that has been revealed between the lines when you have been communicating with me," Guinevere said, "I can't hear the slightest hint of love for Bavanshi from your words. Respectful, and even always with a condescending tone like an elder caring for a younger generation - ah, I didn't mean to say you are older than her."

"I know, I didn't think about it that way," Rico took a deep breath and tried to calm down her chest, which had begun to rise and fall obviously, "You don't have to make trouble,"

Even after not seeing each other for so many years, this idiot is still an annoying genius.

"So, combined with the fact that although you don't respect Bavanshi, you still stand firmly on Bavanshi's side and consider things for her. Even so, you never take active actions. For example, When I wanted to jailbreak before, I didn’t care at all..."

Guinevere then analyzed:

"So, based on the above points, I guess you are an old subordinate of Morgan who was sent by her to take care of her daughter or something. In this way, all the above points will be correct, and look Although your attitude is indeed to protect Bavanshi, it always seems like you are not very concerned about this job."

"I see," Rico nodded lightly, "In a way, what you said is indeed quite correct... Well, indeed, I can be regarded as the old man sent by Morgan to protect Bavanshi. Subordinate, you are wrong about one thing, I am still very serious about protecting Bavanshi."

"Okay, that's what you said, but I was wrong."

Having said that, Guinevere also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Rico admitting his suspicion frankly. He shrugged again and joked:

"To be honest, I boldly guessed whether you might be Queen Morgan...but then I thought about it and felt that this guess was not valid on many points, so I rejected it."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rico was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of interest flashed in her eyes, and she asked:

"Then tell me, why can't I be Queen Morgan?"

"There are too many reasons," Guinevere spread his hands and said directly:

"After all, you think about it, that is Queen Morgan. She is the queen who has ruled this country with absolute majesty for 2000 years. Not only that, she is also a genius magician whose magic skills are the highest in Britain. You say she is silent. Xiangdi disappeared suddenly, do you believe that she wasn’t hiding secretly and plotting something secretly?”

"...You're right," Rico nodded slightly, "If that's the case, then why can't she be me? Can't Queen Morgan hide in Bavanshi's castle?"

"It's not impossible, but if you were Morgan, you said that after she hid, she hid in her daughter's castle and worked as a little maid... Just what did she want?" Guinevere You continue to follow the path of kindness.

"Isn't protecting her daughter Bavanshi a reason?" Rico asked following Guinevere's analysis.

"Uh... you don't have to make this joke with me," Guinevere shook his head and said with some embarrassment, "You should also know Morgan's attitude towards Bavanshi. How much she treats Bavanshi." If you don’t take it seriously, the whole Fairy Kingdom will see it.”

"......What's the meaning?"

"To be honest, I haven't been in the Fairy Kingdom for a long time, and I can't say that I'm familiar with the previous Queen Morgan." Guinevere said, "However, I also heard from other people about Queen Morgan's attitude towards Bavanshi. As the goblins have mentioned, I will repeat the complaints I heard from New Darlington residents about Bavanshi when I went out to inspect the streets yesterday:"

"It's stupid to say that you are Her Majesty the Queen's daughter, daughter, or something like that. She is the only one who talks about it. Her Majesty Morgan has never treated that little girl tenderly once, has she? What a beloved daughter. What a shameless statement."

"That's just a family opinion, right? It can't be used as a reference."

Rico was silent for a while before retorting.

"Indeed, I wouldn't take it seriously if it was just a one-sided statement... But what if all fairies say the same thing?"

"......What did you say?"

Rico was stunned.

ps: Today’s update is here!The updated word count for this chapter is 4500 words, and there are still 500 words owed, so the current word count owed is 12800/50300.

Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I’ve added an update. It’s rare that I wrote it early today. When I was urged by the big guys in the group to update it, I did promise to update it once a day, so I decided to do it. Today.

Well, there will be an extra update today...but because my personal schedule is quite hellish, my definition of today here does not mean before 24:[-] in the morning, but before I go to bed that day...

Today’s update word count: 4500/10000

Chapter 22 Of course mother is the best! (5k7)

"All fairies think so,"

Looking at Rico's seemingly stunned expression, Guinevere said.

After recalling what he had learned when he was busy before, Guinevere continued:

"It would be fine if just ordinary fairies said that, but when I went to Camelot to ask for help, I heard the same words from the superior fairies over there."

"Many of those superior goblins had attended many of the Queen's court meetings when Queen Morgan was still on the throne, but according to them, they had never seen Queen Morgan show the slightest bit of affection towards Bavanshi. Warmth and care..."

"All the goblins in Britain know that Morgan is completely indifferent to Bavanshi. At most, he only tolerates Bavanshi's frequent killings at court..."

Having said this, Guinevere paused for a moment, changed the topic, and then speculated:

"——But maybe this is her original intention. After all, according to the goblin ministers, Queen Morgan would complain from time to time that she saw the same face every time she went to court, which made her feel bored... ...I think maybe Bavanshi is just a knife for Morgan, so that she can easily get rid of some guys she doesn't like."

"...That's it." This time, Rico's response came extraordinarily slowly. She lowered her eyes and murmured softly, "So everyone sees it this way..."

"Not only everyone, but even Bavanshi herself thinks so," Guinevere said:

"As soon as she heard other goblins saying that the Son of Prophecy might be more like Morgan's daughter in a sense, she would immediately go over there angrily to settle the score with Artoria. She even directly killed me and Artoria before. Caught back...do you know what this is?"

"What is it?"

"——It's a sign of lack of confidence."

Guinevere said slowly.

"—"

Rico opened her eyes slightly.

"It's a simple reason. If she is the undisputed heir to the queen, she won't pay much attention to such boring rumors." Guinevere said lightly, "If someone says that compared to Bavanshi, maybe someone Personally, I am more suitable to be the new Lord of Darlington than Barvanshi, what do you think Barvanshi's attitude will be?"

"Kill that person?" Rico asked.

"Yes, but will she immediately put down everything she is doing in a hurry and find the guy immediately and kill him no matter what?" Guinevere asked again.

"......Won't."

"That's right," Guinevere clapped her hands. "With her character, she will indeed kill the guy who offends her, but she won't be in a hurry, because there is no doubt that she is the new Lord of Darlington. , she will not be replaced just because others say so, so she will not be anxious, she will kill the other party simply out of dissatisfaction, but if she can't find the other party, it doesn't matter."

"But the child of prophecy, who is called Queen Morgan's daughter by the other fairies, is different."

"Because Bavanshi feels that her position has been threatened, maybe she even noticed it herself. From Queen Morgan's attitude towards her, she realized that Morgan might not value her that much, so she was worried that one day she would After being replaced, she must eliminate the competitors as soon as possible no matter what, is it easy to understand, right?"

"......So this is ah."

A certain doubt that she had always had was answered, but Rico's brows couldn't relax at all.

Seeing that she didn't refute again this time, Guinevere nodded with satisfaction, raised two fingers, and continued: "Well, it seems that you should have roughly understood the first reason why I think Morgan doesn't care about Bavanshi. That’s the reason, now I’m going to talk about the second reason.”

"......besides?"

At this point, Rico's calm attitude that she had always maintained had finally changed. She looked at Guinevere in surprise, and repeated in some astonishment:

"There are still?"

"Otherwise?" Guinevere looked at her strangely, "If it weren't for three reasons supporting this view at the same time, how could I dare to be so confident that you won't be Morgan?"

"...I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

Rico took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions a little, converged her eyes, and said slowly:

"You keep talking."

"The second reason is Morgan's attitude towards Bavanshi's education," Guinevere continued. "She allowed Bavanshi to do whatever she wanted."

"Allow her to slaughter ministers wantonly, allow her to build the National Killing Theater in her territory, allow her to do all her excessive actions, and allow her to cause outrage in the Fairy Kingdom. Everyone wants her to die, but Morgan has never restrained Bawan. Xi, didn’t even help Bawanxi develop any wings..."

"Is there any problem with this?" Rico asked.

"Can't you see it yet? This is a big problem in itself." Guinevere shook his head and sighed for Rico's understanding:

"To be honest, as far as I know about the history of pan-humanity, usually when the emperor lets one of his subordinates do this, he simply treats him as a tool that can be thrown away after use, and he plans to use it somewhere. One day, the other party will be liquidated naturally. And if it is a certain prince who lets it go... Well, I think it is because he has never considered letting the other party inherit him, and he has never had any affection for him from the beginning. beyond any hope."

"But maybe this is just because Morgan dotes on Bavanshi too much?" Rico defended again, "After all, fairies are different from humans. Morgan himself doesn't have to worry about the possibility of dying, so maybe Did she just let Bavanshi live in the hope that she could live freely under her protection?"

"Well, it's true as you said. I can't rule out this possibility as I said before... But the question now is that Morgan is missing?" Guinevere said:

"Queen Morgan herself should know her importance to Bavanshi. Everything in Bavanshi is based on the fact that Morgan is still there. She is Bavanshi's only supporter. Once she disappears, Bavanshi Her position was immediately in danger, not to mention that before she disappeared, she left an outrageous message that all fairy lords can be kings... She almost put Bavanshi on fire by doing this Roasted.”

While sighing at Morgan's inexplicable operation, Guinevere said:

"After all, unlike the other two fairy knights, Bavanshi's strength is too weak. As the only three fairy knights in the fairy kingdom, he may not even be able to fight with the queen knight who was given the armor by Morgan. He has no power, so She doesn’t have many capable supporters, and once Morgan, her only supporter, disappears, she arouses anger in Britain. If she doesn’t die, who will die?”

"It wouldn't be surprising if Bawanxi was secretly killed by some goblin lord tomorrow. The reason why she can still jump now is simply because Morgan has not been missing for long enough, and the remaining power is still there, so the goblins don't dare to act rashly. "

"To be honest, if Morgan really cares about her daughter, she should leave some more powerful protective measures for Bavanshi, right? For example, a large-scale magic ceremony at the level of divine weapons? With her ability, I I think she can definitely do it...but I have almost taken over New Darlington now, and I have not seen any back-up plan for Morgan to leave Bavanshi."

"This..." Rico hesitated and said, "Is this considered an insurance measure?"

...If you took it as an insurance measure, would Bavanshi have died so mysteriously in the previous simulation?

Guinevere cursed in his heart, but he did not have the courage to say such words, so he just nodded lightly:

"Okay, if you say that...it's not impossible to explain. In that case, I'm going to tell you the third reason." Guinevere raised his third finger.

"What is it?" Rico asked.

"It's a very simple reason, just three words: Beryl." Guinevere said lightly, "I think you must have taken care of Bavanshi for a long time, right? In this case, you should also know how Beryl Such a person."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Beryl is just a beast. Although Bavanshi has a bad reputation, at least she hasn't created anything like the National Killing Theater before. To a large extent, she came into contact with it. Beryl, the bastard, was led astray later... If Morgan really valued Bavanshi, could he put that Beryl thing next to Bavanshi? No matter how much you think about it, you know it's impossible, right? "

"This......"

Thinking of Bavanshi's final outcome in the third simulation, Rico fell silent.

"To sum up, Morgan is indifferent to Bavanshi. Compared with her, you seem to care too much about Bavanshi."

At the end, Guinevere spread his hands and said:

"I learned from those superior goblins that Bavanshi is rarely allowed to be alone with Queen Morgan. If Morgan really cares about his daughter, why wouldn't he be willing to spend more time alone with her? Where are the opportunities?”
