Camelot Castle

"--- long time no see, --- Leigh"

The splendid palace is full of all kinds of treasures. The jewel-like glass windows shine with colorful light, but the interior does not feel dim at all. Intricately carved marble beams and columns support the vaulted roof. The ceiling is engraved with the story of angels and children, giving it an endless look of luxury. However, now there are only two people in the entire palace. One, blonde with a crown on his head, wears a blue dress with carved gold filigree embroidered on the edges. It is covered with silver armor with blue patterns. A dark blue mink cape was draped over his shoulders. Wearing a sword hilt and sword wedge made of gold, a gorgeous long sword studded with various gemstones, the maiden king. And opposite her was just a handsome young knight dressed in simple leather armor and with a bright cross sword hanging from his waist.

"yes, long time no see---, but I haven't heard much of your story. For five years, he went to Rome from Britain to help refugees, exterminate bandits, threaten lords, kill man-eating beasts, challenge herds, drive out orcs, and refuse the courtship of princesses from various countries. All the way forward, until three months ago, he slaughtered the dragon [Kashgar] that destroyed Silan. I didn't expect --- Blue Knight, who had created so many legends, would one day return to this country that was about to be destroyed---- why ---"

"Because I believe in you! I believe that you will definitely stand up and save this country. It's your dream, but I'm coming back because of my dream. The most important people in my life are still here, and I want to protect them---- even if there are endless difficulties ahead. Even if your body is broken, volcanoes, sea of arrows, and the last drop of blood is shed, I will always be by your side, forever ----"

Without any hesitation, Qing heard Artoria's questioning and spoke his mind very honestly. Even Artoria was stunned by such an explicit answer

"---I said you--- it's exactly the same as five years ago, except for your height, everything else hasn't changed at all---"

"Huhuhu~ It turns out that Lily has always cared so much about me, ah~ It's so open, oops---"

Qing rubbed it, and was angry and ruined the girl king, and hit her head with a scabbard. I really don't know what the scabbard is made of, even if it is beaten by a giant, it will not hurt the body, but today it was knocked out of a bag. fantastic

"The habit of beating snakes and sticks has not changed----

"This is the real me, it's hard to put on a mask for yourself---- Li, smile, don't always keep a straight face, it's all your own people, let yourself relax a little. We haven't seen each other in five years, so at least put a smile on our faces to make ourselves happy----"

As she spoke, Qing looked at Artoria expectantly. The girl was very helpless, obviously she didn't know why she did it, but she still pulled out a smile, maybe she really smiled at that person

"Ha-ha-ha-ha------"

“--------------------”

"Okay, so stiff, ------- smile"

Hearing this, Artoria's face darkened, and her holy green eyes were covered by bangs. Qing could see that the corners of Artoria's mouth were twitching, her clenched fists were shaking, and the green tendons were floating on the back of her hand

"Ahahahaha---- I didn't mean to, please spare me----"

"Finished? ---”

Gnashing of teeth, like a voice from the abyss of hell

"Yes, yes. Please spare the villain! The villain knows it's wrong! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. This is what Qing learned from the nobles who taught and oppressed the commoners. For Qing, this trick was still quite effective for him, but it didn't work the second time

“-------”

There was no pain, no sound came, and Qing looked up in confusion. What caught her eye was the girl's smile, she was now squatting in front of Qing, smiling at him, that smile was so sweet. Qing stared at the girl in a daze, looking at the smile in front of him, and his face turned a little red.

The hand unconsciously wants to caress the beautiful face that touches the heart. At the moment of touching, the girl's hand pressed on Qing's head with a huge force, and Qing was pressed to the ground

"Ahh---------h

Qing's head was pressed to the ground by Artoria, and her limbs were like an octopus, swinging around on the ground, begging for mercy in her mouth

"That's it! I'm happy, so let you go."

Artoria bullied Qing for a while, clapped her hands in relief, and stood up. Soon, Qing also stood up, smirking

"Na, Qing! You've gotten a lot stronger in the past five years, so come and compare."

Artoria, who rarely showed her girlish side, quickly changed back to her original form, but her belligerent personality was not so easy to change

"Ah, in the past five years, I haven't let up! What's the matter, do you want to compete as soon as you meet? Don't be scared to cry by me. Hahahaha---oops"

"No hippie smiley. I'm serious---"

The girl stopped Qing, who wanted to joke, and said very seriously

"Yes! I feel your heart. The feeling of fighting with you has always been so cheerful, there is no better greeting gift than this, come on! ”

Qing slowly stepped back, opening up the distance of four positions. He drew the cross-sword at his waist and clenched it with both hands, the tip of which was pointed at the girl

"Then let you see the results of my hard work in the past five years, I believe that you will not let me down!"

"Of course--------"

The swords are facing each other, only the battle can make the two tell each other, the sadness and happiness of the past five years, there is nothing else in the hearts of the two, only endless fighting spirit----------------------
