Then, they naturally talked about where Percival came from, the orphanage.

"It's really strange. I remember that when I came to Salisbury ten years ago, there was no orphanage."

"Well... since the orphanage was established around the beginning of the year 2001 of the Queen's calendar, it is normal that Your Highness does not know about it."

Guinevere paused, as if he had noticed something: "You said, early 2001?"

"Uh, yes, what's the matter, Your Highness?"

"Well, it's nothing."

Guinevere realized that his expression might be a little too serious and shook his head slightly.

"Nothing, just remembered some things."

At this point in time, he naturally thought of a major event that affected the entire Fairy Kingdom.

The coming of the Son of Prophecy.

Although they had searched for several years and dealt with many goblins, Guinevere and Morgan knew very well that the true Child of Prophecy was still missing.

Then, could it be that someone has ulterior motives and wants to cultivate the child of prophecy so as to fulfill the prophecy and overthrow the queen?

Guinevere could not allow such a thing.

"...By the way, according to what Percival said at the beginning, the rest time in the nursing home is very tight. So what are you doing in the cathedral?"

Guinevere asked, walking out of the room where he had lived for a period of time.

"Well...I'm actually here to look for someone."

"Find someone?"

"Well, look for my sister."

"Do you have a sister?"

Guini was stunned. It seemed that there were no human women in the cathedral.

"No, not my biological sister, um... just my sister, right?"

Percival was also unable to explain it properly, so he could only explain it as ambiguously as he could.

"...Dean Woodworth, Teacher Baran, and my sister have been in charge of our training."

"Huh? Woodworth is here too?"

Guinevere was slightly stunned, and the slight doubt in his heart also dissipated.

"Well, but Dean Woodworth is not always here..."

Percival explained.

"..."

Guinevere was silent for a moment. If Woodworth was there, he might not have anything to worry about.

"Sister's words are not always there."

Little Percival did not notice Guinevere's silence, but thought that such a small matter might not attract the attention of Her Majesty the Queen.

"She's actually in Camelot most of the time...she only comes back for one or two days every half a month."

A sister who lives in Camelot…and can’t get back to Salisbury often?

Just by hearing such a description, Guinevere had some guesses in his mind.

Huh... As expected, as long as it's related to Salisbury, there's no way to get rid of it from her no matter what?

Guinevere sighed in his heart.

"Your Highness, we are almost there..."

"Percival?"

Before Percival could finish his words, a familiar voice was heard in front of the two people.

"elder sister!"

Little Percival smiled and greeted the dragon fairy who had returned to Salisbury.

"Um……"

The masked fairy knight Lancelot responded unconsciously, and his golden eyes hidden under the mask looked at Her Majesty the Queen whose expression was gradually turning colder.

"...Well, Percival, now that you have found your sister, I will not accompany you any longer."

Guinevere's expression turned cold, and he prepared to turn around and leave.

"How about I send ..."

The dragon fairy opened her mouth subconsciously, but received an exceptionally calm and indifferent answer.

"No, I have lived in the Great Cathedral before, so I won't bother Sir Lancelot with the extra steps."

Just as Guinevere was about to leave, a hand grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Percival? Anything else?"

Although he had no good face to the fairy knight Lancelot, Guinevere still had a great impression of this human child he had just met.

"Well...I..."

Percival was a little overwhelmed. After all, he was only reacting subconsciously.

Then, those light blue eyes subconsciously looked at her sister, and after a few seconds she said, "Your Highness... do you want to go see our orphanage?"

"So, sister?"

Percival quickly looked at the dragon fairy beside him. Although he didn't know what was going on, he could only do this.

"……OK."

Guinevere certainly saw what Percival did, but he couldn't stop him, so he chose to agree.

…………

The orphanage fell into silence at night, and the environment here reminded Guinevere of the courtyard in the west of the city a hundred years ago.

"Is this the kind of place you live in?"

Guinevere asked, "It seems to be good."

"Indeed... compared to the humans outside, we are still very happy."

Little Percival nodded, but before he could take a few more steps, a figure appeared in the moonlight.

"Where have you been today, Percival?"

A cold and mature man walked out from the shadows under the moonlight. When Percival saw the man, a little fear appeared on his face.

"Teacher Balan."

"Well, next time don't run out without saying a word and come back so late."

Surprisingly, the stern-faced man just nodded slightly and no longer pursued the blame for Percival's failure to return on time.

Then, he saw the Dragon Fairy and Her Majesty the Queen who came back with Percival.

"So it's Lord Lancelot, then this one is..."

Balan, the teacher mentioned by little Percival, looked at Guinevere.

"…Her Majesty the Queen."

"you know me?"

"Well, about ten years ago, I had the honor of seeing His Highness once."

Balan did not show any abnormality because of Guinevere's beauty, and Guinevere and the fairy knight Lancelot could see at a glance that the other party was an excellent warrior rarely seen even among fairies.

...Aurora, where did you find such a human being?

Guinevere lost this impression, and he basically subconsciously avoided anything related to her.

"I see. Did His Highness keep Percival? After all, His Highness likes humans more than ordinary fairies."

Balan said calmly.

"Well, that's not wrong."

Anyway, this is not wrong, and Guinevere is too lazy to continue with his meaningless defense.

Balaam was just speaking the truth, and he had no ill feelings towards the Queen of Spring.

After all, it was just as he said, Her Majesty the Queen liked humans more than fairies, and she never harmed humans. Legend has it that the hundred humans bestowed by the Queen a hundred years ago not only escaped from their slave/pet-like status, but were also buried after their death, which was not very common in the entire fairy kingdom.

"Okay... now that you're back, go back to sleep. You still have training to complete tomorrow. If you don't get enough rest, you won't be able to be energetic tomorrow."

"Yeah - I understand."

Having already met his sister, Percival had nothing more to ask for.

"Training? So, your orphanage is actually to train these children into qualified soldiers, right?"

Guinevere asked, frowning.

However, if this is the case, then this is also the freedom of the fairies who purchased these humans, and it is only natural that they will know how the purchased humans will be treated.

Although he didn't like this way of treating humans, he didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs to this extent.

"Indeed, Lady Aurora did ask me to wait like this."

Balan did not deny it: "If they can become qualified warriors, it will be a good thing for them."

"Indeed it is."

Guinevere lowered his head and said, "What about Percival? Can he be a qualified warrior?"

"Well... I'm not sure about this..."

It was clear from Percival's tone that he was unsure, but there was also little resistance or fear.

"But I think there shouldn't be any problem..."

Although there was not much confidence in his tone, his determination could be seen to some extent.

"Determination...it's good to have determination."

Guinevere smiled, then raised his hand and touched Percival's head.

"Well, I'll come and help you a little tomorrow."

"Eh?"

"Of course I will help you train to become a qualified warrior."

Guinevere smiled and said.

This was somewhat surprising to the fairy knights Lancelot and Balan.

…………

By the time little Percival woke up the next day and made all preparations, the other children had already started today's training under the guidance of other teachers.

The stern-looking Balan and the dragon-goblin just watched from the sidelines, while Guinevere, who had been waiting quietly, held two wooden swords and waited quietly.

"Your Highness."

"Yeah, here I come."

After raising his hand and throwing a wooden sword to Percival, Guinevere put away his gentle smile.

"Well, then let me try it out. This is the result of your hard training over the years."

"okay!"

Percival raised his wooden sword.

…………

"It's been a hundred years... It's rare for Guinevere to treat someone like this."

The fairy knight Lancelot could not help but speak as he watched the two people who were said to be sparring but were actually no different from teaching.

"It is said that after His Highness buried many humans, he no longer wanted to have any contact with humans... Maybe he was tired of seeing the separation of life and death?"

Balan said, "And when he saw the child Percival, he had a rare impulse."
