[comprehensive] reproduction plan

Lancelot's injury was finally healed, and when he could move freely, the first knight asked to return to King Arthur's palace to recuperate.

A-chan joked, "Is it because I miss the queen?"

These words made Lancelot stunned for a moment. At that time, he was standing aside, putting his armor back on.And Ah-chan held his sword like the most loyal knight attendant, looked at him with a smile, and rejoiced at his recovery.

He paused for a moment before he said, "Yes, I'm going to give her all my diamonds."

"That's great." The girl said in an envious tone without any grievances, "There is no gift that is more commemorative than the prize that the first knight got in the tournament, and it makes women feel more happy."

Yes.

Lancelot looked at her and thought: King Arthur has not participated in a tournament for a long time, and, as a king, how can he give the prize he won to a slave girl instead of his wife.

The maiden has nothing but the love of the king.

This fact made him silent for a while, and then called her, "A-chan."

"Huh?" The girl looked at him innocently.

Lancelot looked at her face and made a serious promise: "From now on, I will treat you as my dearest relative in my whole life. If someone insults you or despises you, I will stand up for your reputation—— I would like to be the knight who fights to the death for you."

Ah-chan was stunned.

She stared blankly at him for a long time.Lancelot originally thought she would show a smile, but who knew that the girl lowered her eyes, and her tone suddenly became cold: "My lord, you can't do it."

Lancelot frowned puzzled, confused by her reaction, "Why?"

The girl bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The knight can only give his life and all his loyalty for one woman, and that is the one he loves."

"Thank you for being willing to defend me, but I don't need you to fight for me."

The first knight had never made such a promise to any woman—he fought for Guinevere, because as a queen, she was naturally protected by the knights.

But the first time he made such a promise, he was rejected without hesitation.

"I don't need you to fight for me."

These words hovered in Lancelot's mind, making him irritable and sullen.

But at last they left the wood and returned to the palace.

Lancelot desperately wants to see Guinevere, and A-chan happens to be her maid.

The girl meekly helped him to pass the message, but Guinevere looked at A-chan coldly, but thought she was here to protest.

"He wants to see me?" Guinevere laughed contemptuously, "I don't think it's necessary."

"...he has a gift he wants to give you."

But hearing the girl say that, the queen was about to explode—what is this, compensation after breaking up?

She fixed her eyes on the girl in front of her. She remembered that she once said directly in front of her that she wanted to snatch Lancelot away. At that time, she held her head high and her chest was straight, but now she lowered her head, looking Gentle and calm - why is there such a gap?

Guinevere has only seen such a change in one situation, and that's when the victors are sympathetic to the losers.

She clenched her fists, trying to maintain the aloofness that a queen should have, and then said indifferently: "Very well, then let me see if he has anything to say to me."

They met in front of a window covered in vines.Lancelot looked delighted and delighted at the sight of her.He knelt down on one knee, and devoutly placed all the diamonds on the window frame. "My queen, I'm back to see you."

Bright light shone in his black eyes, "This is the treasure I won for you alone. One diamond a year. Since nine years ago, I have wanted to give them all to you. If you accept I'll be very happy."

But Guinevere didn't pick it up.She looked at him coldly, the anger in her heart didn't dissipate at all.

"Since nine years ago?" The queen sneered: "It sounds so affectionate! But the value of the gift varies with the giver's heart. If your heart is no longer loyal to me, these things are worthless." Not worth it! Since you gave me up back then, I shouldn't be surprised to give up again now. Take these things to please your new love - I have a lot of jewels, but what about her? Poor thing! I'm afraid even Not even a nice dress!"

The smile on Lancelot's face narrowed slightly, and the first knight subconsciously frowned when his lover spoke contemptuously of another girl who saved his life.

"...Queen, when I was seriously injured and almost died in Huangquan, she saved me and took good care of me by her side. That's why I can continue to stand in front of you now. Fighting for her reputation, standing up when someone insults and despises her..."

"Then what are you going to do!?" Guinevere suddenly picked up the diamond on the window frame and threw it in front of Lancelot, "Are you going to fight for her? Very good! Between us Marriage is not a husband and wife, and it is very easy to break up now! All these years, I have been hurting another more noble person for you-but what about you?! You have changed your heart like a fallen leaf! I will do well in the future What the queen should do, will not be unruly①, let's end here!"

"Make these diamonds into bracelets, hair crowns, necklaces—whatever you want, and tell her she's more beautiful than me and you'll love her forever! To death! As you once did to My gallantry and devotion! Even though I don't think she deserves them at all—she deserves nothing! A slave—a vile woman!"

Lancelot lowered his head in silence, without words.

The queen ran away crying, and he knelt on the spot, but suddenly felt powerless to catch up with her and explain.

Perhaps it was because he had just recovered from a serious illness, and he felt his body was so heavy, as if he was filled with lead, unable to move.

And after a long time, there was another sound of soft footsteps in this remote and quiet corner.

Lancelot still knelt there motionless, he lowered his head, and then saw a pair of soft and white hands picking up the beautiful stones scattered on the ground one by one.

Those hands used to detect the temperature of his forehead again and again when he was seriously ill, combed his tangled and messy long hair again and again, wiped his cheeks and body again and again, and at this moment she picked up the full The diamonds on the ground seem to pick up his broken heart piece by piece.

This gift is hard-won and priceless.In order to get these diamonds, he was scarred and scarred by years of martial arts competitions. Although he killed all his opponents, he almost died in Huangquan.

But now it's all in vain.

All these years, he has never been married, nor does he plan to marry.Because he and Guinevere couldn't talk about marriage, Lancelot originally thought that they would use more absolute trust than husband and wife to make up for this lack of relationship.

But Guinevere obviously didn't trust him.

He looked at those diamonds reflecting the brilliant brilliance in the sun, and suddenly felt disheartened.

"My lord..." The girl squatted down.She probably sensed that his mood was wrong and the delicate atmosphere in the air, so she held his hand cautiously.

Lancelot didn't resist, and then saw her put the diamonds into his palm one by one.

His palm was so wide that it could almost completely cover the girl's hand, but it couldn't fit nine diamonds.The girl soon discovered this too, she held his hand, and fell into a predicament of not knowing what to do for a moment.

At this moment, Lancelot suddenly said, "Take it away."

Ah-chan looked at him in surprise.

"But……"

"It doesn't matter. I originally wanted to give it to...but forget it. That's meaningless. Just treat it as my reward for you, even if I know that your kindness to me may only die for you I can only repay you. But I still ask you to do me one more thing—" Lancelot pleaded with a deep sigh: "When I am with the Queen, when my conscience wakes up, it will be like a demon It hurts me too. I've thought about breaking it so many times, but I can't - but now, maybe it's time to cut it off - but will I? I don't know... I've been praying God, please send an angel who can grab my hair, take me far away, and throw me at the bottom of a lake surrounded by mountains where no one knows, so that I can purify my sins... Ah Chan, I hope you can be such an angel and save me from that quagmire of evil."

The girl froze for a moment.

"I don't know if I'll be able to..."

"Besides you, there is no one else." Lancelot scattered all the diamonds in A-chan's hands into her arms.He whispered: "If even you can't do it, then maybe I should accept my fate and go back to Guinevere's side. Like many times in the past, she lost her temper with me for no reason, dissatisfied for no reason , and I forgave her. I thought I would endure her forever, but now I don't have the strength to bear the grief anymore."

"...I think the queen is just angry for a while." Ah-chan said softly, "When we didn't come back, there were a lot of rumors in the palace...the queen was probably very sad too..."

"Do you want to say that she is only jealous because of love?" Lancelot lowered his eyes, but his tone did not become relaxed.He participated in the competition anonymously because of her request, but was seriously injured by the siege. He didn't blame her.Because it's not her fault.

But when he was dying and finally came back to her, did she ever say a word of concern?

All she cared about was the gossip, she was only angry that her honor and dignity were tarnished, and she was saddled with the reputation of being abandoned by her lover.

"If I admit that her jealousy is born of love, then she is more and more afraid that her reputation and honor will be tarnished, won't she also tell me that her love for me will also disappear?"

"People say that I am great. Because my horse is stable and my spear is accurate," Lancelot chuckled sadly at this point, "but in the future there will be many young people who will learn all my skills , and surpass me. I am very clear that there is nothing great about me, and I am just an ordinary person."

……

The queen and Lancelot are locked in a cold war.

People in the court are well aware of these scandals, because no matter how noble these great people are, they must rely on their servants who are far inferior to them to communicate.

It has been a long time since Lancelot came to the maid beside the queen to ask for an audience, and the queen has never let the maid beside her secretly go to him to inform him of the meeting.

Instead, Lancelot and the king's lover are growing closer these days.Many people saw him showing her the most brilliant smile, he hugged her tenderly, as if loving her with all his love, some people heard him call her "my angel", "my lady", some people said , Maybe Lancelot, who has been alone for so long, will decide to get married.

Because—he gave all the diamonds he had won in the past nine years to that girl.

Such a priceless and precious treasure.

After hearing such rumors, King Arthur leaned against the window, slowly frowning.
