"But what's the point of doing this, Your Highness?"

Looking at Guinevere and Percival at this moment, Balan murmured to himself: "After all, fairies are still fairies, and humans are still humans. The two are destined to be different."

Act 5 ~ His Highness and "Sister"

"worn out--"

The silver-haired boy finally lost the last of his strength and lay on the ground, even his breathing became weak.

"Hmm."

Guinevere chuckled and sat down next to Percival.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

"Well, yes, a little bit."

"But a warrior should not feel tired."

"Yes, yes—I know, I'll just—"

"No, although a warrior should be tireless, that is the standard for fairy warriors. As a human, you don't need to be so strict with yourself."

The young man raised his hand to tie up his long black hair and said.

"——Besides, it is a bit unreasonable to ask humans to become warriors like fairies."

"But... time is running out. We don't have much time or spare time. Regardless of success or failure, we must at least make an effort. This is what Dean Woodworth told us."

The silver-haired boy said as he finally regained some strength.

"...Is this what Woodworth actually said? It's really surprising."

Guinevere was slightly stunned. In his impression, Woodworth had always been a very tough person.

It's really strange that he could say such a thing...

"Well...after all, even though the training has been going on, there are still people falling behind."

Percival said somewhat disappointedly: "The first batch of children of my age who entered the orphanage have almost all been abandoned and become the property of other goblins."

“Maybe, I’ll be like that one day.”

"Don't worry too much. Since you said you haven't fallen behind yet, just keep on gritting your teeth and holding on."

Guinevere smiled and said, "Even if the final result is not good and you are abandoned, it doesn't matter. At worst, I can just buy you."

"Your Highness?!"

When little Percival heard what Guinevere said, he couldn't help but look at the beauty beside him.

"Hey, is this hard to understand?"

Guinevere smiled and stroked little Percival's short silver hair, saying, "Don't take it too seriously. To put it another way, I just fell in love with you."

"Even if you are really eliminated, I believe you will become a strong and qualified warrior, just like Sir Percival, the second seat of the Knights of the Round Table in the book Drifter."

"You will be my bodyguard then. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least staying by my side is much better than some other goblins with bad personalities."

"Well, Percival?"

"Well—OK, Your Highness!"

The silver-haired boy said with great energy.

From then on, Guinevere was often seen in the orphanage in Salisbury.

And the young man named Percival has once again received the favor and guidance of Her Majesty the Queen after Balan and the Fairy Knight Lancelot.

…………

"Very good, that's progress."

Guinevere said beside the fallen Percival.

"But I am no match for Your Highness."

Little Percival's whole body was soaked with sweat, but even if he put in 120% of his energy and skills, the young man in front of him could knock him down with just a wave of his hand.

"You didn't even know where you were when I burned all the King's Clan troops in the Great Cavern of the North. It's not that easy to defeat me."

Guinevere said, cursing and laughing.

"Well - although it's a good idea to defeat the strong with the weak, no matter what, we still need to do it within our capabilities."

"The gap between humans and fairies is too big. It is almost impossible to defeat fairies with a human body - of course."

Little Percival understood what Guinevere meant and said with a smile, "I understand. Almost, right?"

"Well, if you choose to fight, what you need to do is to make it almost possible and inevitable."

Percival understood immediately, which made Guinevere very happy.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."

"Hey, it's nothing, just a little help."

Guinevere did not shy away from the question and simply said, "If I must say, I think you look a bit like a human I once knew."

"At first glance, they look similar, but in the end they are not the same."

"How about it? Will you be angry if I say this?"

Percival was slightly stunned. He didn't quite understand what Guinevere meant, so he just nodded woodenly.

"I'm not angry... I'm just a little surprised."

"Well, because every human and fairy is born unique, it is impossible for one to replace another."

Guinevere said very seriously: "So, even if I thought you were very similar to the humans I knew at the beginning, you are you, you are Percival, someone who cannot be replaced by anyone else, do you understand?"

"Hmm... I understand..."

After all, the boy, who had no way of figuring out such a profound question at such an ignorant age, finally just nodded slightly.

Guinevere was naturally not in a hurry for him to understand anything immediately. It was just something he said casually when he suddenly remembered it.

I just hope that my casual words might really come in handy in the future.

"Well, then I wish you to become a qualified warrior soon, right?"

"Ok!"

On the green grass, the silver-haired boy gave a particularly affirmative answer.

…………

Guinevere then returned to Camelot.

After all, she is Her Majesty the Queen, and Camelot is her residence. It is unlikely that she will live in Salisbury.

After that, I would visit him for a few days every month.

In this way, there will be one more teacher who can teach Percival.

Balan is still in charge of daily training, and if the fairy knight Lancelot or Guinevere comes to Salisbury, it will be handed over to them.

However, what puzzled Percival was that the relationship between His Highness and his sister... didn't seem to be very good.

It's really strange. Both His Highness and my sister are very kind to others. But why does His Highness leave quickly every time he sees my sister?

Even in front of her, he couldn't hide his resistance to his sister.

My sister seemed helpless about His Highness's reaction.

Although it can be seen that she didn't seem very willing, she never chased after him once.

This in the end is why?

With such doubts, it finally came to an abrupt end after my sister came back from Camelot one day.

"Yeah, good, that's it."

The Dragon Fairy watched Percival train for a whole day, and then said with satisfaction.

"You're making great progress. If this continues, maybe you'll be worthy of that gun in the future."

"——Well, this is all thanks to the careful training of the teacher, sister, and His Highness."

Percival raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Hey... Guinevere sent you a lot of things last time, right? It seems like he really likes you."

The boy who was like a younger brother in his eyes was gradually growing up and had won the favor of Guinevere. Even if he could not be recognized by the Spear of White Light in the future, he did not have to worry about being bought by the goblins and used as consumables like other children.

"Well... although it's not stated explicitly, His Highness is like a brother to me."

Percival said with a smile.

"Yeah... yes, he is that kind of person..."

It's just that Percival's words inadvertently aroused the Dragon Fairy's memories, and she couldn't help but sighed softly.

"elder sister……"

"Nothing, I just suddenly recalled some past events."

The Dragon Fairy then noticed that his emotions seemed to be out of control, and said.

"Sister...what happened between you and His Highness? Why did His Highness just walk away after looking at you?"

His sister's abnormality finally made Percival unable to hide his doubts any longer, and he asked out loud the doubts that had accumulated in his heart for a long time.

"..."

Percival's question caused the Dragon Fairy to fall into silence.

"...No, nothing. What could happen between us? Don't let your imagination run wild."

Fairy Knight Lancelot said firmly after a moment's silence.

"But…"

"——There's nothing to worry about. After taking a break, let's continue training."

Percival didn't know what he had said wrong. The dragon fairy, who was originally unwilling to talk about this matter, changed his tone. His stern look curbed the boy's curiosity and doubts, and he could only lower his head silently.

"it is good…"

Balaam just watched silently and said nothing.

…………

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

More than half a month passed before Guinevere had time to come to Salisbury to see him.

But this time when he came back to see Percival, he felt that something was not right with him, as if he was a little absent-minded, which made him a little worried.

"Well, actually, it's nothing..."

Originally, the words of the Dragon Fairy had almost made him give up worrying about this matter, but from the moment he saw His Highness, this increasingly strong feeling of doubt became even more unbearable.

"Well, although you said that, your face is full of confusion."

Guinevere couldn't help but raise his hand to smooth Percival's frown and said.

"Tell me, if you want to ask something or want something, I will do my best to satisfy you."

"Um……"

His Highness' words somewhat moved the extremely conflicted young man.

"Then... can I ask you a question, Your Highness? Just, just one question. Your Highness, you just need to answer why I'm asking you, okay?"

"What? You are so stumped by just one question..."

Guinevere wanted to joke, but when he saw Percival's extremely serious look, he sighed softly.

"...Okay, go ahead and ask."

"Your Highness...why are you hiding from your sister?"
