Chapter 11: Confrontation
Faced with my surprise, the knight just snorted coldly, and didn't even look at me.
"My king, please return to your territory with your subordinates immediately, and your subordinates will guarantee your safety."
Kneeling on one knee on the ground at the girl's feet, the knight's head bowed, and he said with great humility.
Looks like I've been completely ignored......
…………
"My friend...... No, though all the ministers of the round table died because of me, and Camelot fell apart because of my inaction, ...... "something crystal swirled in the girl's beautiful blue eyes."
"My king, that's not it! You're just ...... Just ......"
The knight hurriedly argued, but could not say anything completely.
“…… I am still the king. With the wishes of the people at the round table and the compensation that you must receive......"
…………
Looking up slightly and looking into the knight's eyes, the girl finally couldn't hold back, and two lines of crystal tears slid down her pretty face.
“……! My King...... Please don't cry ......! The knight was startled, and his head, which had been lowered, almost fell to the ground.
"My king...... Please don't blame yourself...... It's all the fault of the subordinates, if it weren't for the impulsive misdeeds of the subordinates, everyone would never ......"
The knight's voice was full of remorse and grief.
…………
"Enough for you two!"
The girl and the knight subconsciously raised their heads at the same time and looked at me who suddenly spoke.
“……”
I must be crazy to suddenly lose control of my emotions at such a time.
But...... This lamentation of my own powerlessness made me feel like my whole body was going to explode if I didn't do it.
…………
“…… What do you want? I don't know where to come from, do you have a part to speak here? The knight reacted first, sarcastically sarcastic at me.
"Lancelot !!" The girl glared fiercely at the loyal knight in front of her, like a lion about to become angry.
"It's okay, I understand."
Reach out and cover the girl's clenched fist and caress it, stopping her from attacking.
Exhaling heavily, the girl shook her arm violently, turning her head away from the knight in front of her.
…………
Seeing the knight glancing at me with nonchalant eyes, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart.
It turns out that this guy thinks of me like this......
But that's fine, the knight's words blew a cold wind into my head, and my thoughts were cleared in an instant.
…………
"First of all, I'm going to correct your statement. My name is Emiya Shirou, and I am Artoria's only lover, and my life is only for the purpose of protecting her. I love her and am willing to give everything for her. ”
Take a step forward and completely block the girl's petite body behind you.
Facing the knight, he unabashedly confessed all his thoughts.
The girl's hand clasped the corner of my coat.
…………
"Hehe, you're worthy too?" The haughty knight scoffed.
"Lancelot! What a gaffe for your words and deeds today! Stop it now! The girl behind her desperately poked out her head and scolded the knight.
"Okay, okay, you can also control yourself a little, don't be so impulsive......" reached out to the side, rubbing the girl's small head.
"But how can I ...... if he humiliates you?" the girl puffed out her face, very unconvinced.
"Didn't we say that I'm in charge here......?"
"Hmm...... If you say this...... "The girl's momentum suddenly lost."
"So...... Trust me one more time. ”
Half helplessly, half funny, he pressed the girl's head and shoved her back behind him.
…………
"It was a small episode, now let's move on to the topic."
After settling the girl with a disgruntled face, I turned my head again and smiled at the knight.
Pursing his lips, the knight was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
“…… Emiya Shirou, at least you made the king feel happiness that he had never felt before. For that alone, I would like to thank you below. Your name is remembered below. ”
As he spoke, the knight bowed slightly.
"There is nothing to be thankful for, but anyone who loves can do it. Then then, you can say something about my criticism. ”
Saying this, he nodded secretly in his heart.
Lancelot deserves to be called a model of knighthood, and the grievances are so clear.
…………
"Quite simply, you have deceived the king's feelings, and you can even imagine that you have tarnished her innocence. Not only that, but out of self-interest, you induced the king to make the wrong decision, return to Camelot and put on the shackles, giving up the happy life that could have been lived from now on! Therefore, under the sanctions must be imposed on you! ”
With anger in his eyes, the knight said unceremoniously at me.
"That's it, isn't it?" I kind of understand why the knight hates me so much.
“…… Yes, don't you want to tell the difference? "Maybe my reaction was too flat, and the knight looked a little surprised.
"I can't talk about it, I just want you to recognize the facts."
…………
"You said that I deceived Artoria's feelings, where is the evidence for this?" He said as he stared directly at the knight's gaze.
"Is there any evidence for this? I dare not say anything else, the whole of Britain is finished. It may be asserted below that there is not a single person in all Britain with such a face as yours! It is clear that you are a stranger who has come to Britain to fulfill your ulterior purpose! With his fist clenched in front of his chest, the knight said in an unmistakably sonorous voice.
"So, what's the evidence?" Unhurriedly, I repeated my own question.
"This ......," the knight couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Presumably, he also discovered that what he said just now was entirely based on his speculation, and the actual evidence can be said to be almost non-existent.
"For all the Gentiles living in Britain now are doing their ulterior purposes. In that case, you didn't drive them all out of Britain before, but you are derelict as a Knight of the Round Table......" Shaking my head at the knight, I sighed deliberately.
…………
"Yes...... Damn, you are sophistry! Even if there is no direct evidence, but what about you, what can you do to prove that you have no dissenting intentions?! The knight's face turned purple with anger.
"It's simple, what do you see here?" Speak, using his magic.
Fortunately, there was no fork in the matter this time, and the sword in the stone appeared smoothly in his hand.
…………
“……!”
Looking at the sword that suddenly appeared in my hand, the knight's eyes widened.
"This ...... Isn't this the sword of the king? It is said to have broken a long time ago, where did you get it?! Also, why can you hold it? Except for my king, it's clear that no one can use it! You must be a treacherous impostor! ”
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if it's true." I stuck my sword in the stone into a rock not far in front of me, "Try to pull it out." ”
