Chapter 4: Fighting for You
"That's nice."
An oriental man with black hair and black eyes, fair and handsome, but also mature and resolute, stood by the window and sighed softly at the scenery he saw.
"What are you sighing about, Zilong?"
The silver-haired beauty, dressed in a long dress with white and gold trim, asked softly to the man who seemed to be talking to herself, while placing the tea set.
"I saw something that was a little unexpected, but it made me feel good, so I couldn't help but make a sound, master."
Withdrawing his gaze from the window, Zhao Yun, a young man with a gentle smile, said to his master, and then looked at the beautiful woman standing next to another window enjoying the same view, with charming blonde hair and blue eyes and a cool and refreshing temperament: "I believe Pendragon also feels the same surprise?" β
"Oh?"
The silver-haired woman, Alice Field, who was intrigued and curious by his words, came to the window where the man had just stood, looked out, and saw the scene of her beloved daughter riding on her husband's shoulder, and being carried by him towards the depths of the forest.
"Was Saber surprised, too?"
Looking at the blonde heroic spirit who turned his head because he was mentioned, King Arthur, who was sung by the world, was named Artoria. Pendragon woman, Alice Field, asked with a smile.
"Indeed, I was a little surprised to see the scene of the master and Ling Qianjin playing."
Nodding, as if surprised, but also confused, with a slender brow, a slightly stiff expression, but not at all detrimental to his beauty, the king replied.
Then, she glanced at Zhao Yun again and said:
"--I have a colder impression of the master. Zilong also has the same opinion on this point, right? β
This is angry at his behavior of involving her in the topic without authorization, so revenge?
Zhao Yun, who was a little depressed, guessed in his heart.
-- Your guess is the truth.
However, the master has already seen it, so let's answer my king's question first.
"Ah, Pendragon is right." Someone nodded as well, indicating that he shared the same opinion, then hesitated slightly, and said, "Although I may be sorry to say this, Mr. Emiya gives me a feeling that is somewhat similar to the Assassins I encountered in my time. Moreover, does he seem to be a little biased against us because some of our actions are not in line with the manners and views of this era, so it makes him angry? β
ββ
Speechless.
While secretly amazed by the keen perception and thinking of her Heroic Spirit, Alice Phil smiled bitterly.
What can be said?
Since he was summoned, his husband hadn't had much conversation with these two Heroic Spirits except for the necessary communication - his own Heroic Spirit Zhao Yun was better, and his Heroic Spirit, a maiden named King Arthur, was almost completely ignored.
"Zilong's eyes are really keen!"
After a wry smile, Alice Phil said.
"However, the object of his anger is not you, but the legend of King Arthur that has been circulating for a long time, as for Zilong, it may be involved, right?"
looked at Zhao Yun, and after he showed that he didn't mind, Alice Field, who blushed slightly (not used to deceiving people), said as if talking to herself and as if explaining something:
"If the Heroic Spirit summoned by Kiritsugu was King Arthur, an adult male like the legend, he wouldn't have rejected Servant to this extent. It is expected that there will be only emotionless and cold negotiations that are the minimum necessary. Carrying out actions that could have ended in this way into an attitude of ignorance, in other words, a huge emotional reaction.
Kiritsugu, knowing the past, pulled out the sword of the contract inserted in the rock. After the truth that it was actually a young girl in the cardamom years, anger that could not be concealed by all the legends about King Arthur surged in her heart.
That person is probably angry with the people around you in your time. To the cruel people who put the responsibility of being named king on a petite girl. β
"There's no way around it. Since the moment he pulled out the sword in the stone. I've come to my senses. β
As if he hadn't given in, Saber's expression remained calm and clear. Alice Phil shook her head slightly at her in confusion.
"It's because you accepted your fate like that that it makes people even more angry. Only in response to this, maybe he was angry with a girl named Artoria. β
Perhaps unable to refute it, Saber lowered his head and was silent for a moment. But soon he looked up at her eyes, but he became more stubborn.
"That's just superfluous sadness. He had no reason to say anything about my time, about people, including me. β
"That's why that person will remain silent."
Alice Phil simply defused the attack, and this time it was Saber's turn to purse her lips.
"If that's the case, then, I think I can understand that." After a period of silence in the conversation between the two, Zhao Yun, whose tone was a little heavy, said solemnly, "Please forgive me for my previous misunderstanding, master. Your husband is a man of high moral character. β
"Zhao Yun?"
Saber looked at him slightly annoyed, but Zhao Yun was unmoved, and spoke slowly and heavily:
"Something similar happened in my country - when the dynasty was first established, the princess of the empire had to be married to the head of the northern barbarian tribe due to the lack of national power - this act was called 'harmony' in exchange for their peace with the empire until the fifth emperor of the empire ascended the throne and the kingdom was strong enough, and the 'harmony' was abolished.
So, I can understand what Mr. Emiya thinks, and Artoria . Pendragon, who became King Arthur as a woman and led the people to expel the barbarians, deserves my admiration. β
However, his words did not meet Saber's approval, but made her expression become serious, and she frowned, and asked rather angrily:
"Zhao Yun, are you laughing at me and pitying me because I am a woman?"
"No, please listen to what I'm talking about." Zhao Yun shook his head calmly: "This has nothing to do with gender. It's just me paying homage to a hero, a strong man. And although Mr. Emiya is a good man, his views and opinions are wrong-the strong do not need to be sympathized, they only need to be respected.
So, I have nothing but respect for you, King Arthur. β
At the end, his tone rose to a higher level, and his dark eyes did not shy away from meeting the pair of emerald green eyes.
"Confused wife.
"Even if you flatter me like this, I will never give you the Holy Grail."
As if he saw something in those black eyes, after looking at each other for a while, Saber suddenly smiled, like the thawing of the lake, and like the rejuvenation of the earth, and said happily and heartily.
"The moment I was summoned, my wish didn't need it to come true." Zhao Yun also smiled confidently and said, "So-no matter what you say, I will assist my master to get the Holy Grail." β
"Zilong, what did you say?!"
Gu Bu asked the two people who were originally in a tense atmosphere, why they suddenly 'sympathized with each other' and 'laughed at each other', after hearing an important piece of information in Zhao Yun's words, Alice Phil asked in surprise.
"Oh?" Zhao Yun's eyebrows raised for a moment, then returned to his original state, and replied with a smile: "I mean, my wish doesn't need the Holy Grail to come trueβit's a wish that can only be fulfilled by myself." β
"Can you tell me about your wishes?"
"There's nothing you can't do." Compared with the cautious wife, Zhao Yun seemed extremely relaxed, but with solemnity and slight fanaticism: "My wish is to protect you until the end of the Holy Grail War."
In the meantime, what you will, what I will do! β
