After dinner, as expected, Actor came to his room.

Stopping the transformation of his body, Qi Wuce sat up from the bed, because he was a little tired because of the rune carved in his body before, and now he was just chatting with Ektor to relax properly.

"Good evening, Your Excellency."

"Good evening, Lord Aector."

Politely responding to Ektor's greeting, Qi Wuce began to wait for the other party to ask him.

"Your Excellency Qi Wuce, I have seen your martial arts truthfully during the day, and they are indeed very good skills, but I still have some questions to ask Your Excellency Qi Wuce."

Perhaps in the eyes of others, what Qi Wuce showed today was only a trivial thing, but as a veteran, Ektor could see too many details from it.

Steady breathing, sharp sight, and the reaction that is best suited to the situation in a split second is like a veteran who has honed himself for decades.

It was hard for him to imagine what kind of tempering he had to go through at Qi Wuce's age to develop such a superb martial art, you must know that Qi Wuce was only twelve years old now, and in ten or twenty years, what a powerful knight the other party would grow.

Just a cursory thought about it surprised him, and he also understood why Merlin valued Qi Wu, so much so that he deliberately told him to let the other party come into contact with Artoria and Kaidodo.

As Artoria, Qi Wuce's ability will undoubtedly be a great boost in his future.

But having said that, whether or not to make Qi Wuce a swordsmanship instructor for Artoria and Kai will have to wait for him to ask Qi Wuce some questions.

"I admire Your Excellency Qi Wuce's swordsmanship, but I'm curious, why do you want to teach Altorius and Kai?"

"Hmm......" frowned, Qi Wuce also thought about his purpose for doing this before, but today he didn't think about anything during the day, he just couldn't see it, so he ran off the field to show his hand.

But now that he was asked by Actor, Qi Wuce realized the kind of emotion that even he didn't notice.

"How so...... I guess I just thought it would be interesting to watch talented seedlings grow stronger in their own hands until they stand on top of the world. ”

"Just because it's funny......"

Ektor didn't expect to get such an answer from Qi Wuce's mouth. However, such an answer made him feel that Qi Wuce's style was very similar to Merlin's.

"It's because it's interesting, it's not difficult to live in this world, and because you're still alive, you have to find something for yourself, and since it's to do things, it must be according to your own interests."

Probably because he had found a short-term goal for his boring and panicked life, Qi Wuce seemed very happy.

Looking at Qi Wuce, Actor could probably understand the other party's thoughts.

Unlike those who live at the lowest level of Britain, who are forced to work day after day for a living, farming and making offerings, and barely enough to live on what is left of their possessions, these people crave power and wealth because they feel that these things will make their lives better.

And Qi Wuce is not like the heir of most nobles or wealthy families, including him, who worships royal power and pursues glory because of the education he has received since birth and the things he has been exposed to.

A person like Qi Wuce, who has no worries and no need to have a headache for his livelihood, and has good skills, is like an outlier away from the crowd, so it doesn't feel strange to do something just for the sake of interest.

This reminded him of Merlin, who had only assisted King Uther on a whim.

"I see, then Artolis and Kai will be handed over to you for the rest of the day."

With a serious face, Actor entrusted the heirs of the former king and his own children to Qi Wuce.

"Thank you, Lord Ektor, for your trust, I will not disappoint you, but I still have a question......

This doubt, Qi Wuce, has been hiding in his heart for a long time, from the first time he saw Artoris and learned that the other party was a man.

Considering the honorific title that Héctor used to address Merlin today, he asserted that Merlin must have had some kind of strong relationship with Häctor, and now that Häctor had changed his attitude towards him, he was almost certain that Merlin must have said something nice about Häctor.

At this perfect time, he no longer had patience and wanted to get an answer from Ektor's mouth.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

It's nothing more than some questions about Artoria and Kai's previous swordsmanship cultivation, and he just needs to tell the truth about this kind of thing.

"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point, Artolis is actually a girl, right?"

“……”

“……”

Ector looked at Qi Wuce in surprise for a long time before he spit out a sentence: "How did you see through the magic that Lord Merlin arranged on Artoria?" ”

"Is her real name Artoria? But she still has this kind of thing on her? Looking at Ektor suspiciously, Qi Wuce was sure that he hadn't noticed any traces of magic on the other party's body since the first time he saw Artoria.

"Sure enough, Lord Merlin is still unreliable."

There were words in Ektor's mouth, but because the voice was too small, Qi Wuce didn't hear them clearly.

"Yes, Artoris's real name is Artoria, and it's true that she's a girl herself, but for some reason I had to raise her as a boy." The matter was revealed, and Ektor did not continue to hide Qi Wuce's intentions.

"Some reason?" Qi Wuce was thoughtful.

"Could it be that you want to inherit the throne, so you have to serve the people as a man?"

Ector was silent, Artoria's true identity had been a secret for a long time, and no fourth knew it except him, Merlin, and the late King Uther.

And because this matter was a secret, he would hesitate to tell Qi Wuce.

Ektor looked a little embarrassed, Qi Wuce knew that he probably guessed something, but he didn't particularly care about Artoria's secret, in short, as long as he knew the gender of the other party, he was already very satisfied.

"Well, I'm just guessing casually, please don't take it to heart, it's not too early now, how about Your Excellency Actor go back and have a good rest."

Appropriately gave the other party a step, and Qi Wuce finally smiled and sent away the tangled Ekto.

After solving the doubts in his heart, Qi Wuce lay back on the bed and began to work on the work of carving the rune on the inside of his body again.

Altoris's strength made him dare not underestimate it in the slightest, so if he didn't hurry up and let his combat strength recover a little, he wouldn't dare to say that he was sure that he could train the other party.
