Chapter 79 69, The Mind of the Common
King Arthur didn't know what to say, she knew in her heart that Lancelot's remorse and Lancelot's unwillingness were not half a point less than her.
But he is so free and easy, so proud. He didn't bother to redeem those regrets by changing the past, and his eyes had long been set on the distant future.
Even though the road was extremely bumpy, he still chose it without hesitation.
Sure enough, at all times, Lancelot is his own benchmark. But what about yourself? Can you really leave everything behind?
...
No, she couldn't do it at all, and every time she closed her eyes, the tragic situation of the Sword Fence Hill would flood into her heart.
She simply can't abandon those who trust her, and she can't let herself go on with peace of mind by leaving them alone.
All she could do, and what she had to do, was to do everything in her power to save them, even if they didn't want to.
"I'm sorry, Lancelot, I can't accept doing nothing and watching them die."
Hearing King Arthur's words, Lancelot still asked expressionlessly:
"Even they may not need your salvation?"
"Well, even if they don't need my salvation."
"Even if they will be sad and sad to lose you as king?"
"Well, even if that's it, it doesn't matter, as long as they survive."
King Arthur's answer became firmer and firmer, but her faith was shattered little by little.
When Lancelot heard King Arthur's words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "King, you are so perfect, so just, but also... It's not like a normal person...
"Arthur, do you remember why you drew that sword at that time?"
Lancelot's short sentence hit King Arthur's heart directly. King Arthur suddenly remembered a long time ago, when he drew the sword of kings again.
Merlin, who was standing behind her, said to her:
[Before holding the sword, you'd better think it through. Once you hold it, you're no longer human. 】
[Once you pick up the sword, you are destined to usher in an extremely tragic end!] 】
Immediately afterwards, Merlin also showed her the whole process until her death very intimately.
[No, even so.] 】
In front of Lancelot in the memory, King Arthur firmly stated the answer that had been there for a long time.
"There were a lot of people with smiles on their faces, and I thought it would not be the wrong decision."
King Arthur suddenly came to his senses, yes, he just wanted to be a king who could see everyone's smiles, when did he become a king who only pursued justice.
"Lancelot..."
Before King Arthur could finish speaking, the scene in front of him changed completely, and King Arthur returned to the hill of the sword railing, to the small hill made of corpses.
And Mordred was standing not far from her, and at the moment there were only two of them left on the entire battlefield.
But this time, King Arthur did not rush directly to fight Mordred as he had done, but asked her with great seriousness:
"Mordred, I ask you, do you hate me so much?"
Mordred was stunned, she didn't expect that King Arthur would talk to her at such a time.
"I hate the king."
Mordred said something of unknown significance, and she didn't do anything more, and she wanted to know what King Arthur was trying to do.
"Really? If you hate me so much," King Arthur threw his sword on the ground, "then come and kill me." ”
"Huh?" Mordred was directly overwhelmed by King Arthur's operation, and put down the sword that was originally pointed at King Arthur.
"Why? Arthur, I'm the one who destroyed your country, don't you want to avenge them? ”
There was already a hint of anger in Mordred's words, and the purpose of her rebellion was to get King Arthur's attention, whether it was good or bad, but it made Mordred feel the distress of being ignored again.
"Since I can't save everyone, then I can only save the people around me, Modrey... No, daughter, since you hate me so much, do it. If that calms the resentment in your heart. ”
Mordred was confused by King Arthur's words, in essence, it was just a little girl who longed for her father's love, and King Arthur's daughter really hit Mordred's heart.
"Actually, how can I say it..."
Morred also lowered his helmet, revealing the face that was identical to that of King Arthur.
"I hate only the king, not you, father."
"Why do you say that?"
"What should I say?" Mordred scratched her head in annoyance, and after a moment said, "Actually! I want your approval and become a king. ”
"I've dreamed countless times that what would have happened if I had drawn my sword in the first place?"
Mordred tossed her sword aside, sat down on a pile of corpses, and began to remember.
"But every time I draw my sword, I always hesitate, and I am always preempted by another person, and that person is you, father."
For the first time, King Arthur had heard Mordred pour out her heart, and involuntarily walked up to her and sat down beside her.
It was also the first time that Mordred had been so close to her father, and she seemed very hasty and uneasy. But King Arthur just watched her quietly and did not put any pressure on her.
"Hey, that's too close!" There was no doubt that Mordred's face flushed.
"Really?" King Arthur didn't think much about it, but thought that Mordred was afraid that he would attack her, so he immediately moved to the side.
Seeing that King Arthur was leaving, Mordred hurriedly shouted:
"Actually, it's okay."
Looking at the awkward Mordred, King Arthur didn't say anything more, just thought she was playing with a child's temper.
Seeing that King Arthur was no longer leaving, Mordred continued to speak her heart.
"It's just that country that I hate."
"Camelot?" King Arthur asked in a questioning tone.
"Of course, that country, that era, made your father carry everything, just through the title of [king], the reason why she was forced to stand on a lonely position was entirely because she was the king. It is definitely not a hated existence, but it is hated, and it is also because of the identity of the king. Everyone put their dreams, hopes and wishes on her without understanding. ”
Mordred was like a little girl with a temper, and she said it all in one go.
"I just hate this and want to teach it to correct it, because a father is not supposed to be hated by people."
