Morgana came in with the potion.

"Please." Qing Liu said with a smile.

Behind her, Arturia turned into Arthur again, her blue eyes looked at her elder sister gently, and the smile on her face was apologetic: "It's so dangerous for Sister Wang to follow her!" place, I'm so sorry."

"It's not necessary." Morgana handed the potion to Qingliu, and said to Arthur, "I came with the teacher."

All I have to say is that it has nothing to do with you.

The relationship between Arthur and Morgana is maintained in a very delicate state. Morgana is honest with him. Although she doesn't hate him openly, she always maintains a rather indifferent attitude.Arthur's attitude was milder, and there was an inexplicable alienation, for example - he would not say sorry to Qingliu for letting her come to such a dangerous place.

Qingliu: ...

After feeding the potion to Arthur, Qingliu was annoyed and funny when he saw the other party's sullen expression, "Don't hurt yourself if you don't want to drink it. I didn't force you to drink it."

Arthur pursed his lips.

"I'm going back, you have a good sleep." Qingliu pretended not to see, and said to himself, "I'll see you again at night."

"Morgana, let's go."

"Okay, teacher." With a smile on her face, Morgana quickly followed behind Qingliu.

Although there is no legendary Archmage Merlin, he can barely cope with some unnatural situations that occurred during King Arthur's expedition.In short, Morgana, who is committed to fighting against King Arthur, although her relationship is still not very good, should be regarded as one of her own personnel.

This time, it should be able to reach the end safely, right?

Qingliu is quite serious, thinking so.

But things will never go according to her idea. The knights of the round table just went out, and they did not know where to pick up a thin boy with short black hair softly sticking to his cheeks. Picking up, unconsciously revealing a bit of gloomy hostility.It's just that it doesn't feel strong, but faintly lingering, at the corners of the eyebrows and eyes.

"Your name is—" Qingliu choked for a moment, "Mordred?"

"Yes." The boy raised his face without hiding his meaning.The maturity and agility that distinguishes him from his peers will be fully revealed.

Morgana stood behind Qingliu, tilted her head and glanced at the boy, just in time to meet the boy's gaze.

——There is an indescribable intimacy.

The two people looking at each other thought at the same time, and turned their eyes away at the same time in the next second.

"Then—" Qingliu didn't hide her panic, she didn't even want to look at Mordred again, "Who brought this child back?"

Send him back to me right away.

What she didn't say next was obvious.

The few knights who brought Mordred back were at a loss, it was the first time they saw Qingliu showing such hostility towards strangers.They explained the reason for bringing Mordred back - when they went out to investigate not long ago, the child accidentally discovered the enemy army's ambush, and without hesitation, after confirming that they were King Arthur's knights , Tell them the location of the ambush, which is equivalent to saving their lives.

"Then why didn't you send this child home?" Qing Liu asked with a frown.

She didn't want to ask why this child could meet the enemy's ambush by such a coincidence, there is always an inexplicable power, in order to make things go on the right track, it will do whatever it takes.Send the people who should appear to the place where they should appear, and finally do what should be done.

"My family members are all dead, Your Excellency." Mordred finally spoke. He watched Qingliu with a bored face, and said slowly, "Die in the war."

Qingliu paused.

war.

Her expression obviously relaxed, but there was still a coldness in her eyes.No one had ever seen her like this, she was facing only a thin child, but her attitude seemed to be that she was facing a formidable enemy of life and death.

... Isn't it the enemy of life and death?

The one that belonged to King Arthur, the one that was destined to kill him.

"How are you going to treat me, Your Excellency?" Mordred didn't put on a pitiful look, nor did he intend to beg the obvious leader to take him in at all.He just asked quite directly and even sharply, "Kill me? Just because I am a citizen of the enemy country, even if I saved your knight's life."

Qingliu sullenly.

Words like prophecy cannot be said indiscriminately.

Because various deeds in history have shown that once something like prophecy is spoken, it will always be realized in a variety of strange gestures.

For example, the one in the modern magic world, if the prophecy hadn't been spoken at that time, probably all would have been fine.But he insisted on getting rid of her poor little brother, and the chain reaction led to the final outcome, which confirmed the so-called 'prophecy' instead.

They were deadlocked in a strange atmosphere. Kai, who rushed over after hearing the news, looked at Qingliu and made a suggestion: "Why don't you let the king decide?"

"What's the difference between that and just letting him stay!"

Qingliu almost laughed angrily.

It's a pity that it was too late, their location was not far from Arthur's tent, so they made such a noise.The sound of Kai rushing over was enough for Wang, who was still asleep in the tent, to hear and let them go in and talk.After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Arthur gave Qingliu a strange look, obviously not understanding why her attitude towards Mordred was so bad, but after thinking for a while, he still asked Mordred to stay. Down.

"You saved my knight," said King Arthur to the boy, "and I shall repay you."

"Thank you." Mordred restrained his excitement, but a smile still spread from the corners of his brows and eyes, dispelling the gloom, "Your Majesty."

Morgana held Qingliu's hand and looked at her worriedly: "Teacher..."

"It's okay." Qingliu said expressionlessly.

She knew that this was probably the end of the matter, that Mordred would stay and become one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.

And then... that's it.

The knights left one after another, and those who brought Mordred back smiled and hugged his shoulders. When Kai retreated, he looked back at Qingliu with an ugly face, a little worried.Although Morgana was a little reluctant, she still listened to Qingliu and retreated, leaving only Qingliu and Artoria in the tent.

It was probably the first time she saw Qingliu's expression like this. Arturia was stunned for a moment before explaining: "This kid is not a bad person, he has very good aptitude." She paused, and then said, "I always feel that he There is an intimacy."

"No need to explain." Qingliu shook her head, she reached out and touched Artoria's cheek, feeling a little sad, "I just..."

Arturia stared at her intently.

"A little uneasy." Qingliu said softly, paused for a while, and smiled slightly, "You are destined to become a king who will last forever, Arthur."

"Your name will live on and on."

Saying this, Qingliu's eyes suddenly turned red. She seemed to want to say something more, but she still didn't say it. She just took a deep breath and turned to go out.

Arturia was still a little confused.

After King Arthur recovered from his injury, the enemy country was quickly defeated. In fact, the opponent could not last long, so they sent magicians to attack Artoria.It's a pity that he couldn't delay his demise for a long time, but in Qingliu's view, it was more like a farce specially designed to make Mordred appear... Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he would meet someone who was willing to help them? What about the magician?

However, Qingliu also felt that he probably thought too much. After all, King Uther had been in power for so many years, and he had already had enemies all over the world when he expelled magicians in various ways.It is not incomprehensible to attack King Arthur, his successor.

It's just that when Arthur came back, there was not much joy on his face.The knights behind also looked a little uneasy. When they saw Qingliu waiting outside the camp, they quickly dismounted and surrounded him.

"What's wrong?" Qingliu looked at King Arthur.

The sword in the stone broke, a bit abruptly.The enemy king requested a one-on-one fight with King Arthur. There were three rounds in total, and the last round was a sword fight, and the opponent insisted that Artoria use the Sword in the Stone... Artoria won, but the Sword in the Stone did not know why broken.

"He did it on purpose." Qingliu took the hilt of the sword, and the break was smooth and neat, not at all like it was broken in a battle.She raised her eyes and looked at the slightly sad Artoria, "This sword is a symbol of destiny."

"Yes."

"It broke."

"Yes."

"Then change it." Throwing the hilt of the sword into Gao Wen's arms, Qing Liu turned and walked back, "Where's Lancelot? Let him come to see me."

Lancelot is the [Knight of the Lake].

He was brought up by the fairy of the lake, and King Arthur's sword in the lake is said to be a gift from the fairy of the lake.Regardless of whether the two fairies in the lake are the same or not, they should be somewhat related.

Whether the sword in the stone can be connected or not is another matter, even if it is [-]% connected, it can only be used as a symbol of decoration.So it's better to get out the other sword in the lake as soon as possible, so that it can be over as soon as possible.

After listening to Qingliu's request, Lancelot looked blankly and began to recall whether he had seen the sword at the fairy in the lake.After I felt as if I had seen it before, I was surprised instead.

"If she hadn't said it... I wouldn't even remember it." He said to Gawain, "It really is unfathomable."

Looking at Arturia who was talking to Qingliu, Gawain patted him on the shoulder and said to himself that you don't know what is truly unfathomable.Then he began to feel melancholy about why he had to know such a secret that he couldn't tell, and he really wanted to tell it.

Kai, who was passing by, seemed to know what Gao Wen was thinking, and gave him a faint look.

In the process of obtaining the sword in the lake, there was a little accident.The Fairy of the Lake asked King Arthur and "the wizard among you" to go together before giving them the Sword of the Lake.

Qingliu has no objection, and neither does Artoria.The two of them went with Lancelot to take out the sword from the lake. When the fairy of the lake emerged from the lake with the sword in her hand, she was very surprised.

Before leaving, Qingliu avoids Lancelot and Artoria, and secretly asks the fairy in the lake where the archmage Merlin is now.The fairy in the lake stared at her for a while, without saying a word, she sank into the lake again with a smile.

Qingliu: ... oh

After taking the sword in the lake and returning, King Arthur became more and more invincible.And Qingliu fell into a strange deep sleep. She kept falling into one long or short sleep after another, completely irresistible and irresistible. Every time she woke up, something happened to King Arthur. , the situation where she has to come forward.

Morgana expressed dissatisfaction with this.

"Teacher, do you love Arthur so much!" She said to Qingliu countless times, full of anger, "Obviously I am already so weak, but I still insist on forcing myself to wake up to protect him!"

Qingliu: "..."

No, I think you might be a little mistaken.

First of all, I'm not weak at all, and secondly, I can't control when I sleep and when I wake up. What can I do if it happens that your sister has an accident every time.

Also, I may not be sleeping, but...

fast forward.

These explanations must not be shared with Morgana. Facing the big devil who seems to have gone crazy, Qingliu is a little disappointed.Why can't she just sleep through to the end.

Knowing that she woke up, Arturia sent knights to pick her up.Although he was very happy that King Arthur was fine when he woke up this time, Qing Liu's originally slightly happy face sank instantly when facing the person who came to pick him up.

Mordred.

He has obviously grown up a lot since the first time we met. He was originally shorter than Qingliu, but now he is a head taller than her, and he doesn't look so thin. Also dissipated a lot.

Wearing the armor and red cloak symbolizing the Knights of the Round Table, he got off his horse and saluted Qingliu and Morgana: "Your Excellency, Your Highness Morgana."

"...It's you." Qingliu pouted.

"Yes, His Excellency Lancelot should have come here." Mordred didn't care about the cold reception he received, "But he has something to do, so I came here instead of him."

Qingliu clicked his tongue.

She didn't like this person, no matter what she said, she couldn't possibly like this person.

"Let's go." Morgana spoke instead of Qingliu.

"Yes."

All the way to the palace in silence, Qingliu realized that she had nothing to do when she woke up this time—King Arthur was going to get married, and his partner was rumored to be the most beautiful Guinevere.

……

- what the hell? ? ?

Qingliu was so startled that she almost fell to the ground, swung away Mordred's hand who was supporting her, left Morgana behind, and strode to Gawain to drag her out.

"..." After pulling the person out, Qingliu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.She stared at Gao Wen, hoping that the other party could understand the complex emotions in her gaze.

Gao Wen understood in seconds.

"I don't understand either." It's a pity that Gao Wen was also completely puzzled, "It seems that the news of the engagement suddenly came out." He shrugged, "But even if there is something inside, it is impossible to tell me—after all, what am I? I don't even know."

"I should ask Kai." Qingliu breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Gao Wen with disgust, "Why is the first reaction to come to you?"

Gao Wen hugged Qingliu's shoulders with a smile, squeezed his eyes, and wanted to express his deep friendship to her of "don't keep it alone when you know it, remember to share it with me".

Qingliu: "Hee hee."

Gao Wen: ...

After realizing that his strategy was wrong, Qingliu simply left Gao Wen and went to look for Kai.But Kai didn't find it, and Mordred was indeed waiting for her in front.

"If you want to know why Wang and Miss Guinevere reported the wedding..." the young man smiled, making it clear that he was waiting for you here, "I think I can probably guess."

Qingliu looked at him coldly.

"Although I don't know exactly why, but Wang probably reached an agreement with Miss Guinevere to report a fake wedding. When Miss Guinevere came out of Wang's study, she looked very sad. "

Mordred spoke unhurriedly.His previous appearance could be vaguely seen from his eyebrows and eyes, delicate, gloomy, and slightly hostile, but that hostility was by no means frightening, but more attractive.

Among the knights of the round table who are generally already young, he is the only one who is young.But it does not make others feel disobedient at all. Even though King Arthur's guarantee and trust are at work, Mordred himself may have spent a lot of thought on it.

"After all, the people are paying attention to the king's marriage, expecting the king to bring them a queen."

Qingliu: "Hehe."

Mordred probably just overheard it, and slowly completed the possibility by himself.Qingliu was able to think more deeply about what was going on with King Arthur. She frowned unhappily, and already understood what the possible 'agreement' would be.

"There is one thing I have never understood." Seeing Qingliu's frown slowly loosen, Mordred continued, "Why do you hate me so much? No, it's not disgust, but hatred."

"Since you first met me a few years ago, Your Excellency has hated me." The three words described became more and more intense, and Mordred couldn't help frowning, "At first I thought it was because I was an enemy country. Even though I have proved my loyalty to the king these years, Your Excellency’s attitude towards me has not changed in any way.”

Qingliu was expressionless.

"Why?" Mordred asked, looking at Qingliu, as if aggrieved, as if he was innocent.

Ah, of course he is innocent.

—Of course he is innocent now.

Thinking silently, Qingliu twitched the corners of her mouth, but still couldn't show a smile.She carefully looked at the young man in front of her, from top to bottom, little by little, then closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was indifferent again.

"I think, if I hate someone, I don't need a reason, do I?"

She said.

"Knight Mordred, you said that you have proved your loyalty to the king, so please maintain this loyalty forever."
