Chapter 149: Flames
The days of leisure always fly by, and although I am doing different things all the time, this sense of relaxation makes people feel very unfulfilling! Qing kowtowed, shook his head in boredom, and sat on the roof of the top building at the very top of the castle. The reddish sunset was slowly setting, and the distant horizon was also infected with bright red clouds. As Qing said before, the Saxons did not retreat, they hid and retreated to the coastline of southern Britain. During this time, there was not much conflict between the two sides, the Saxons are a small country, they can even be called barbarians, they generally have no advantages except for the fierce soldiers, and the poverty is shocking! However, it was such a poor man who made the deeds of encroaching on the territory of Britain, but their success was also due to more than half of the moths in Britain, and their wealth alone could be greater than the great coffers in Camelot Castle! There were people who thought about dealing with these pests, but their noble titles discouraged everyone. ---- to put it bluntly, Fort Camelot is now basically poor, unable to launch an expeditionary force to drive out foreign enemies. --------
"You're hiding here alone, no wonder no one sees you. Well~, the sunset is beautiful---- but it does not belong to us, its light shines on Britain, and it also shines on the Saxons in Britain-------"
Artoria sat lightly next to Qing, and her appearance made Qing who was sitting next to her slightly surprised, because she was usually busy with official business, she would usually only stay in her large study to review a large number of various documents, instead of sitting here and chatting and watching the sunset.
"I can go alone if you want. Now that I have the strength to fight against such an organized army, I can maximize my strength and destroy it to the maximum extent until my magic power is exhausted---------"
Qing rested his head on his knees and looked at the far south with a slight smile, and Qing could hear the sound of waves coming from the shore and the sound of clashing blades. It was a small team of border scouts organized by Kay to keep up with the Saxons, slowing them down as much as possible and observing their next move. Everything seems to be peaceful, but it is also calm before the storm.
Qing's canonization has already ended for more than ten days, and it is still a clichΓ© without nutrition, but the knights and Qing love this moment of glory! However, I have already had an experience and can adapt very well, and I will not shout like those new knights.
"I won't let you do this--------- I can take care of these problems, you just don't mess around, there is no point in acting as a hero. ---- you're not facing the strongest warriors on the battlefield, but an entire army. ----- when you destroy them, you are destroying yourself. ---- this you should know, green. β
The sun has begun to set in the west, and the brightness of the red glow is getting darker, but then it is more brilliant! Qing looked at Artoria's side face, she always didn't smile, she looked serious all the time! This is also where she is beautiful.
I feel that I am so close to her now, without the barrier of the crown, and I am no longer a knight and a king. The breeze ruffled the ends of her hair, and the fluttering hair reflected her delicate face.
"Li, if you hadn't pulled out that sword in the stone----- what would the future look like----- would you keep going? --------β
Qing looked back at the outskirts of the city in the distance of Camelot, where a huge church sits, and outside the cathedral was a large stone platform with a clear sword hole. Qing looked at it as if he saw Artoria holding the sword and pulling it out of the boulder. --------
"Yes! I will continue my belief forever! If I don't draw this sword, it is the will of God, and I am not fit for this position, then I will follow the man who drew this sword, like the king's knight! β
The flame of faith burned in her eyes, the will that no one could twist! She looked at Qing with a smile. Her smile is always so gorgeous and pure. ---------
"Qing, if you didn't know me before, but went somewhere else. You say, after I draw this sword, will you be my knight as you are now? -----------β
Bow your head slightly, letting your long hair cover your expression. Qing knew that he must be sad now-------- he was alone at that time, leaving the relatives he relied on to survive. At first, Qing always thought it was just a dream, and kept holding on to this idea until he believed it to be true, and finally dissipated in despair. No one sees and no one remembers.
"------Maybe----- my goals aren't as clear as yours. ------At first, I didn't even know why I wanted to hold on, or just for this moment--------"
Qing said very vaguely, and that was because he was lying. I know that the world is bad, and I only give myself disappointment and pain. Qing knew that if she hadn't met Merlin, maybe she would have dissipated in despair as expected---------γ
"Thank you------- in fact, I've been stupidly moving towards a goal before, I've never seen the colors along the way, and I've never learned to laugh happily. ----- since you came, I have learned that I am not alone, that you are the same as me, that your eyes have the same color as me----- that is the light of the flame. --------β
It was a flame, a flame born out of darkness, and its name was expectation. The light that Qing passed from the girl around him from the beginning, the flame burned in Qing's heart, so that Qing had the courage to face the future future, to pursue, to explore!
"The world knows that you have brought hope to this kingdom, and you have given them a glimpse of a bright future. This flame comes from you and passes on to me. I was the one who was illuminated by you in the first place. -----I felt it from the first time we met. β
The sun had completely set, the time passed quickly, night had fallen, but the stars were still there, and the moon needed a little more time. Qing patted his pants and stood up, wearing men's clothes is far more comfortable than Morgan's skirt!
"Leigh, it's getting dark, and while it's nice to chill here, some people don't think it's a good thing--- but if I could, I think Morgan would fix it----"
There was a torch shaking in the castle, they were looking for something, and it was obviously the king beside Qing. But she may really need to take a break, let go of all her duties, and forget all her identity.
β-------------β
She fell asleep, she slept so peacefully, and there was still a smile on her lips. ----- gently picked her up like a princess. She is a strong teenage girl, 16 years old, she has an endangered country on her shoulders, and she does everything she can to save it from the edge of the cliff! This has consumed all her energy------ so let her sleep quietly for a while-------
Holding the light girl in her hand, Qing crossed between the roof and the roof. Every time she landed, the vibration was reduced to nothing, and the girl in her arms was not affected in the slightest, and her smile was so sweet!
Carefully open the window of her dormitory, carry her into it carefully, and gently place her on the bed. Qing found a chair to sit next to her, quietly watching her sleeping face. She was beautiful, but Qing didn't have the slightest distraction. I just want to look at her like this, quietly guarding her side.
The turmoil in the castle has been removed, and it is clear that Morgan has made a decision. Return to a quiet, orderly castle that is never buried by the night. It's a rising star, and everyone is pointing the finger at the sea to the south!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Next day]
With the crisp chirping of birds in the early morning, the girl in front of her woke up leisurely. She slowly got up and sat down on the back of the bed. Today the sun is shining, and the warm sunlight is shining through the window, and everything seems peaceful and serene.
"I'm sorry I fell asleep like that yesterday without saying a word---- and I want you to send me back. ----------β
Artoria got up from the bed and tidied up a little. Qing sat here all night, watching her rest peacefully, and Qing felt that it was better than resting herself.
"The kings of the world are not all wise monarchs. But you are the wisest king in my heart! I'd rather do it alone than entrust it to others. Hehehe~ Actually, sometimes knights are not just used to fight! β
Qing stood up and gently smoothed out Artoria's somewhat messy hair. Her blonde hair is so supple, but there will be a crown of hair on top of her head that no one can touch!
"To be a king is to dedicate your life to the Kingdom. The king can be lazy, and although he can be happy for a while, it will only bring destruction. Only if you are truly willing to pay, then you can exchange for everyone's happiness! --------β
Artoria pinned her ornate golden sword to her waist and stood hopefully at the window looking out at Camelot. All it takes is a few moments of rest for the lion of Britain to open his eyes. From then on, Britain will truly enjoy the sunshine!
