"What the hell is it that makes this so mysterious?" Shaking my head, I turned to look at the girl beside me, "Artoria, come on." ”

"In the palace of the Frankish kingdom, I found a letter by accident. And looking at the situation that was placed on the table, it was obviously not a hasty omission when he escaped. ”

As she spoke, the girl took out a letter from her bosom and gently handed it to mine.

As she had said, the letter was tightly sealed in wax, and a bright rose petal was tied to the surface of the letter.

"These petals...... It's also left from above. But this letter has a special power blessing on it, whether it's me or ...... Joan of Arc couldn't open it at all. The girl couldn't help but shake her head, "So, I'll take it back, thinking maybe Shirou can open it." ”

"That's right...... Then I'll give it a try. ”

I took the letter as I said this, but another figure came to mind.

- In Saxon, I saw through the fragments of the Holy Grail, a blonde girl in a red dress.

Her temperament is warm and pure, as passionate as a flame, and as noble and bright as the rose petals in front of her.

"We ...... We'll be able to meet soon. ”

At that time, she left me with this sentence.

Is it time now?

With a tumultuous thought, I reached for the wax seal.

With little effort, the wax was completely separated, and the cord was broken.

The bright red rose petals also fluttered and fell to the ground.

"Wow! It worked! When the girl saw this, she immediately exclaimed.

"Hehe, I'll just say let my contractor tear it down, it will definitely work." Joan of Arc had come back to her feet at some point, grinning.

"Hmm...... That's Shirou's own skill, and it has nothing to do with anything else. The girl pouted.

"Don't argue yet, let's see what's written in it."

Shaking my head, I took out the folded letter inside and gently unfolded it.

Hula-

At the same time, a sudden wind blew around us.

It was no ordinary wind, mixed with countless rose petals, fragrant. The sky has completely turned into a sea of roses.

"This ...... Could this be Mr. Merlin's doing? ”

Artoria frowned.

"No, it wasn't Merlin who did it." I thought about it for a moment, and then quickly shook my head, "Although Merlin also wears petals when he appears, there is definitely not only one rose. Moreover...... The flower's personal style is so distinct that Merlin would never have given people such a feeling. ”

"Hmm...... That's right, Merlin always seems to be hiding behind other people's backs, secretly doing evil. The girl also nodded again and again, "And this rose petal has an extremely active and atmospheric temperament." ”

"Merlin is so unbearable...... I couldn't help laughing, "forget it, leave the petals alone, and see what is written on the letter." ”

As I spoke, I cast my gaze on the letterhead.

The surface of this letter paper is also sprinkled with gold dust, the same luxury and beauty, but unexpectedly without any sense of extravagance and waste.

It is as if the person who left this letter was born the embodiment of luxury, and every use of his wealth was extremely refined and full of artistic beauty.

"This is really casual enough, is it necessary to use wealth on such a letter?" The girl beside her couldn't help frowning, "Just these gold dusts are enough to collect enough for several families to get rid of poverty and live in peace." If such a person becomes a ruler, he will not be able to set an example for the people at all. ”

"That's not necessarily, if the country is rich and the people are well-fed, then the appropriate to do as you want is also the charm of the king." Joan of Arc laughed, "If it's a king, he's either a tyrant or a great overlord." ”

"Wait...... The text on this is ......"

The girl's eyes were firmly attracted by the words on the paper and were surprised.

"Artoria, do you know this kind of writing?"

I gently handed the letter to her. It was written with neat and beautiful strokes, and the message was similar to that of later Italian italics, but unfortunately I couldn't read the meaning of it at all.

But...... Even if you just appreciate calligraphy as a work of art, it is very pleasing to the eye.

"It's ...... Roman script. ”

The girl took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Roman script? No, the so-called Roman Empire in this era was already in a weakened state. I couldn't help but shake my head, "The whole of Europe has almost given up, where is it possible to meddle in the affairs of the Frankish Kingdom and Camelot?" ”

The important historical background of the legend of the Knight King is that the Roman Empire was unable to rule the British Isles under the decline of the Roman Empire, and the Saxons fled in the face of the invasion.

Moreover, by the sixth century AD, the Western Roman Empire had fallen, and the remaining Eastern Roman Empire was basically confined to the Mediterranean coast of Eastern Europe. If the Frankish kingdom was related to the Roman Empire, it could not be believed in any way.

"It's a true Roman script, and I've seen similar documents." The girl insisted, "Of the existing Knights of the Round Table, two are Romanesque. Just call them in and translate them for us. ”

"Trust the Knight King, Lord Emiya." Joan of Arc was in unison at this time, "Remember what I told you about the Heroic Spirits emerging from all over the world? It is not entirely clear whether there is a possibility that heroes from the Roman background were summoned. ”

"Okay, then call them."

With a move in my heart, I agreed with what the two women said.

——

Soon, two knights were called.

"This ...... It's a very pure Roman script, and it's also classical! As soon as the two knights saw the letter, they immediately trembled with excitement, and their eyes shone brightly, "Lord Emiya, what is this...... Where did you get your letter? Now such a great way of writing has been completely lost! ”

"Don't talk so much, quickly translate the text above to us." The girl on the side raised her hand and urged, "This is a major military situation, and I will only ask you if the opportunity is delayed!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The two knights shrank their necks in fright, and they didn't dare to say more, bowing their heads and desperately translating the text.

After a few moments, they presented the translated text with both hands.

"To the secretary who has only one face, the Frankish Kingdom will present it as a meeting gift to show the sincerity of long-term cooperation in the future. Roman Emperor – Nero Claudius. ”
