My mother's love song

Rod: “Huh?”

"Anyway, you will accept any woman who can satisfy you, right?"

Mordred blushed and bit his lip: "If... I mean if, if someone is willing to take the king's place, can you, can you not attack the king?"

After saying this, she embarrassedly let go of Rhodes' wrist and turned her face away.

"……Well."

For a moment, Rhodes's thinking short-circuited.

After finally coming to his senses, he said, "So you're going to commit yourself to me, and as a condition of the deal I'm not allowed to do anything to the Lion King?"

Mordred nodded gently, and said with tears in his eyes: "Yeah, yeah... that's what I meant. Don't say it out loud, idiot..."

For the sake of the king's purity and happiness, this foolish knight decided to offer his body to the evil man who deceived the king.

That's what it is.

"..."

Rhodes paused for a moment before looking at Mordred in surprise.

At the same time, for Mordred, this was the first time in her life that she was looked at as a woman by a man.

"...Woo."

Bathed in Rhode's direct gaze, the rebellious knight tightly wrapped her two smooth arms around her chest, as if she wanted to show more of her feminine charm.

The evening breeze lifted up the hem of Mordred's knight's skirt, and against the backdrop of the rippling red cloth, her slender and powerful legs cast a long shadow on the ground.

Standing in front of Rhodes, she possessed a wild and rebellious beauty that Altria and Morgan did not possess.

"Hey."

Mordred raised his eyes slightly, his cheeks flushed as he said angrily: "I say, how long do you want to see it..."

"You asked me to see it."

"You are not allowed to look at it, idiot! You can only look at it if you agree to my request first!"

"Huh? If you're afraid of being seen by men, then put on some clothes! How do you look like a rebellious knight?"

"What do you care? It will be more convenient in battle this way! And we usually wear armor!"

The two of them started arguing with each other.

After arguing for a while, both of them felt a little tired.

"So, what's the point?"

Mordred crossed his arms over his chest and asked with a pout, "Do you want to hug me or not?"

After the quarrel with Rhodes, she became more relaxed than before.

"Yes." Rhodes' attitude was firm.

“Is that so? It’s really not possible… Hum, that’s true. Even you have some moral integrity… What!?”

Mordred looked at Rhodes and opened his mouth wide: "You, you just said..."

"That's why I want it. I can't refuse such a kind offer, so you can take the place of the Lion King. Mordred, I want to hold you."

Rhodes walked towards Mordred with a smile on his face, while the girl kept a distance from him and stepped back step by step.

"Wait... eh."

Mordred never expected that Rhodes would actually agree to her ridiculous deal. She was at a loss for a moment, feeling embarrassed and panicked.

Rhodes pressed his hands against the cold wall.

Being forced into a corner and pinned against the wall, the rebellious knight stared at the boy's face with a flushed face.

"Wait, wait, Princess. Dorako...sama? You are not serious, are you?"

"Of course I'm serious. Do you want to go to my mansion? Or just to the side alley?

Ah, do you want to be on the throne of the Lion King? Would you be happier that way?"

"Ugh... Idiot! What are you talking about!?"

The boy's red pupils flickered faintly, and his fixed gaze seemed as if he was enjoying the girl's shyness as a delicious meal.

Rhode said with a playful expression: "Knight Mordred, let's do something fun behind the king's back."

*********

Chapter 254: Anti-Holy City Forces Gather

In the alleys of the holy city late at night.

Rhodes pressed Mordred against the wall and stared at her with a playful expression.

"Sir Mordred, let's have an affair behind your father's back."

"Ugh...!"

Mordred's cheeks turned red, even his ears were painted red, and smoke almost came out of his head.

"Wait, wait, I'll let you hold me, but! But next I have to go on a mission to chase the foreigners! It's the order of the Lion King."

"what?"

Rhodes twitched his eyebrows unhappily: You're running away after teasing me for so long, are you kidding me?

Seeing this, Mordred said shyly, "Ah, I'm not kidding you. Wait until I finish my mission and come back... I will return to the Holy City in three days at most. Give me three days, okay!?"

"...Okay, it's a deal. This is a knight's oath, and you can't go back on it."

Rhodes nodded and moved his hand away from the wall.

"Goodbye, Sir Mordred. I look forward to your triumphant return."

Waving goodbye to her, Rhodes disappeared into the night.

After confirming that the boy had disappeared, Mordred's stiff body collapsed against the wall like a puppet with its strings cut.

He covered his pounding chest.

"What, what should I do... I agreed on impulse..."

"It's all because of that brat who said something so weird, saying I can replace the king... Are you blind?!"

"Wow, having an affair with the princess... my father would definitely kill me if he knew..."

"but……"

"It's something that even my father has never experienced... It makes Arthur become like a woman... Gu!"

Under the fluttering red skirt, the pair of plump, snow-white long legs slowly came together.

……

……

……

The Chaldean group that escaped from the gate of the Holy City, along with a group of nearly a hundred refugees, marched all the way to the settlement of the mountain people.

As a result, just when they were about to enter the deep mountains, Lancelot, leading the Austere Knights, caught up with them as pursuers.

Lancelot's guerrilla force was the best force even in the Holy City camp. Before the battle had lasted long, Ritsuka and the others, who were carrying the refugees, were caught in a tough fight.

"Ritsuka, Mashu! You go first, leave this to me!"

Just before he was about to be beaten to death by the Knights of Rectification, Leonardo da Vinci suddenly stood in front of the crowd.

"Hey hey hey... I've been wanting to say this line for a long time~"

The genius magician said this and summoned the magic gift equipment flying wing car that they used to travel in the desert before.

"Why did you take out the ATV? There's no room for so many people!?"

“I forgot to mention this before, but this is actually a modified flapping-wing aircraft with my magic convergence device installed in the center, named Sphinx Megiddo!

It is a self-propelled bomb that rushes into the enemy camp and explodes. Its only drawback is that it does not have the function of automatic driving.

I will use this to wipe out the enemies, and you two can go with the refugees."

After saying this, she playfully winked at Ritsuka and Mashu who were standing there in a daze.

"This is my real chance to play. To be precise, this should be my last chance to play."

"Dear Da Vinci...what does this mean?"

Romani chimed in: "Damn it, Da Vinci. It almost sounds like you're planning on manipulating this thing.

Actually, this thing has the function of self-driving, right? Because that is much easier than making a bomb, right? "

Da Vinci calmly shook his head, "No. It's called a bomb, but it's actually a self-destruction using my staff and my magic circuits.

This strategy is based on the premise that I am driving. So there is no need to create an automatic driving function. "

"Are you stupid!? This tactic will definitely be rejected! I won't allow it!"

Da Vinci ignored Romani's shouting and jumped into the flying car nimbly.

“Alright, alright. I anticipated this happening before coming to this singularity, and there’s nothing I can do about it.

It's no big deal to me. Right, Romani? Servants are consumables that you use for a day or two and then throw away.

I just stayed a little longer than the others. Maybe too long.

"It's up to you to do your best from now on, Ritsuka. You may be a coward, but you've worked hard until now, right?"

Li Xiang shook his head violently: "I don't want it! Da Vinci dear, come back soon!"

Mashu shouted, "How can this happen, dear Da Vinci! Doctor, stop him! Why are you just watching, doctor!?"

"..."

Romani looked into Da Vinci's eyes and saw realization in her eyes.

He did not insist on the previous order, but sighed helplessly.

"Forget it. After all, it's something Da Vinci himself would do. There's no way to stop her anyway, so let her go alone?"

"Doctor!" Mash clenched her fists.

Leaning his head out of the cockpit, Da Vinci shouted, "Ahaha! Then I'll step on the accelerator and rush in at full speed! I'm going to sweep all the enemies into the explosion!"

Ms. Alter, I'll leave these two to you! Civediamo, Dr. Roman, and Ritsuka and Mashu!

It doesn't matter, genius is immortal! If you can survive, we will definitely meet again!"

Da Vinci stepped on the accelerator, and the flapping-wing plane roared, stirring up flying sand and rushed into the ranks of the upright knights.

Then there was an explosion at the enemy's disposal.

The gushing of magic power came along with the shaking of the earth, the roar echoed through the valley, and the flames lit up the sky.

"Da Vinci dear!!!"

Ritsuka and Mashu shouted at the enemy camp which had turned into a huge ball of fire.

At this time, a hand grabbed Ritsuka's shoulder and Morgan spoke calmly.

"It's time to go. You don't want her sacrifice to go to waste, do you?"

The respite gained by Leonardo da Vinci's tragic suicide attack cannot be wasted, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded heavily.

……

……

……

"Dear Da Vinci... must not be dead."

"Yes, the ornithopter has the ability to fly, right? She must have flown away in the split second before the explosion!"

The girls wiped away the tears they shed over Leonardo da Vinci's tragic sacrifice and continued on their journey while deceiving themselves.

After continuing to trek through mountains and rivers for a full day, they led the refugees to overcome the attacks of wild beasts and food shortages, and finally arrived at the village of the mountain people before dark the next day.
