"I ......" the girl opened her mouth wide and stammered her tongue rarely.

"In order to bring Britain back on track to the chaotic succession to the throne, and so that my son will not repeat my tragedy, I have decided from that day on to take the throne at all costs." Cornwall said calmly, "Cornell was born to another woman later on. I deliberately hid the news of Cornell's birth, and didn't even let him grow up next to me, hoping that when the time was right for him to succeed King Camelot. But now that the plan has failed, there's not much to say. I'll leave it to you, Your Majesty. But if possible, please spare Cornell, who is still a kid and has no idea about the plan. ”

"Hmph, no amount of reasons can change the fact that you betrayed my king." Bedwell snorted coldly, and then knelt down on one knee to the girl and said, "My king, please execute the entire Duke of Cornwall's family according to the British calendar!" ”

…………

"Nope." The girl shook her head slowly, and her green eyes looked at the duke who fell to the ground, "Groris, you are a good father, and a good courtier. Although you have held a grudge over the years, Qing has always been conscientious and outstanding in his tenure. So Qing, didn't do anything to be sorry for Britannia. ”

“……！ My King! Bedwell suddenly became anxious.

The Duke of Cornwall just bowed his head and said nothing.

"However, after all, Qing has committed the crime of rebellion, and he must not go unpunished." The girl sighed, "Grories Pendragon, I deprive you of the Duke of Cornwall in the name of Artoria Pendragon, King of All Britannia, and exile your entire family. Thou shalt never set foot in the land of Britain, nor thy descendants after thee. Will you accept the punishment? ”

…………

“…… Why don't you take the lives of your subordinates, your lord? "The Duke of Cornwall, no, there is a look of surprise in the eyes of Groris, who has become a commoner.

"Britain once owed the secretary, and I will compensate the secretary today." The girl said, "Go back to the territory, pack up your belongings, and leave Britain with the whole family before dark." Since then, the Qing has nothing to do with Britain! ”

“…… Yes, sir. Your noble righteousness, Your Majesty, will be remembered by your subordinates for the rest of their lives. Groris's eyes struggled for a moment, looking at the young man who had completely fainted by Skaha's release, and finally gritted his teeth and thanked the girl.

…………

Carefully carrying the young man on his back, he walked out step by step with a dejected face.

"Wait!" Something important suddenly occurred to me, and I shouted behind his back.

Groerys's footsteps stopped.

"Lord Emiya, I wonder what else you have to do?" Turning around, he asked with a serious face.

…………

"Artoria's mother...... Your wife Igna, do you know where she goes? I quickly asked the question that I had already thought in my mind.

“…… Why do you ask this, it was all more than 30 years ago, even if you knew? His face twitched, and Glories quickly regained his calm tone.

"Don't talk back, answer Einomiya-sama's questions honestly!" Bedwell rebuked.

It seems that she is a little resentful that Grohris was not executed immediately.

…………

"Bedouwell, don't do this." I raised my hand to stop Bedwell.

"Please, Igna is Artoria's mother no matter what, and if she is still alive, I hope to do my best to find her and reunite mother and daughter." Looking directly into Groris's eyes, I said in as earnest a tone as possible, "There is no need to implicate future generations in the grievances of the previous generation, not to mention that Artoria is also a victim. You're the only one in the know about where Igna went, so I'd love to hear from you. ”

“…… After learning the truth, Igna, who had a strong temperament, wanted to die, so I had to arrange for my most trusted soldiers to monitor her day and night to prevent her from thinking of doing stupid things for a while. After a pause, Grohris whispered, "Later, Merlin himself came to the castle and explained to her about the Red Dragons that guarded Britain. ”

After that day, Igna was much quieter, and although she still didn't speak, at least she didn't seek death anymore. So even though I still can't forgive Merlin, I reluctantly thanked him at the time. Merlin, however, sighed and said, 'What I promised Igna was a complete deed of exchange. She promised to give birth to the child and then be completely free. ’”

…………

"What do you mean?" I didn't understand at all and asked with a frown.

"I was confused when I heard it, but Merlin refused to say any more, and only asked me to cherish the time I spent with Igna." Grories shook his head, "In this way, Igna's belly grew bigger day by day, and nine months later she gave birth to the king. ”

"Although I know that it is not my own child, I still love it when I think that it was born to Igna." Recalling the scene back then, Groris's eyes were foggy, "But the moment the child was born, I didn't even have time to put her in Igna's arms, and I saw Igna lying on the bed with a dazzling white light all over her body." Her ears began to sharpen and lengthen, and a pair of transparent membranous wings sprang out from her back......"

“…… Is this characteristic an elf? Skaha, who had been standing behind us, raised his eyebrows slightly.

…………

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I can't be sure. But Igna, whom I have always known, is no different from ordinary humans. Grohris said, "...... The membrane wings vibrated twice, and Igna flew straight towards the wall of the room. The thick walls of the city could not stop her body at all, and she passed through without hindrance. Outside, she flew straight into the sky and soon disappeared without a trace. ”

“…… What you say, can you take it all seriously? As she stepped off the throne, the girl looked hesitant.

"There is no such thing! All the guards who saw the scene at that time were given the harshest gag orders by me, and none of them have passed on the matter all these years. Grorys's expression was serious, "If it weren't for the special question of Lord Emiya today, I would have buried this secret in my heart forever." ”

"......" the girl lowered her eyes again.

…………

"Thank you, Groris." I stepped forward again, "This clue is very important, and without your help today, I'm afraid I would never have imagined that Artoria's mother was a non-human race. Rest assured, even if he finds Aunt Igna, we will definitely respect her wishes. If she doesn't want to go back to Camelot, there's no one to force her! ”

“…… Lord Emiya, it is no accident that you have won the favor of the king. After looking at me for a while, Grohris suddenly laughed, and there was no longer the slightest hint of hypocrisy in his eyes, "Maybe you are really the only one who can give the king happiness, and my subordinates sincerely bless you this time." ”

"Artoria, daughter of my wife Igna, this is the first and last time to call you by name. Uncle will no longer be able to work for Britain in the future, but with Einomiya by your side, I can leave with peace of mind. One day, I may become a bard, and I will bring the new glory of Camelot to the ends of the earth! ”

Under the girl's complicated gaze, Grohris did not stop for the slightest, and carried the young man all the way out of the council hall.
