"My subordinates would like to hear more, what kind of immortal blood does you have in your body?" The Duke of Cornwall had an interested look in his eyes.

"Where, I'm actually just an ordinary person, but I was adopted by a magician when I was a child, and I practiced a little magic." I'm very casual.

The Duke of Cornwall's eyes sharpened, and his brown pupils fixed intently on mine. Looking at his momentum, if there is a forgery in what ordinary people say, they will involuntarily bow their heads and reveal their stuffing.

However, I just looked at him with great openness.

I don't know how much I've seen a man more powerful than the Duke of Cornwall so far, and how could I be intimidated by his mere look. Besides, everything I said is true, but it is just a memory of the original era.

…………

"I see, no wonder my subordinates felt a powerful aura from Lord Weigong, I didn't expect you to be an incomparably noble magician." Without a trace, he withdrew his gaze, and when he saw that he couldn't see anything, the duke returned to normal, "It's that his subordinates are disrespectful." I don't know what the name of the magician who adopted you is, and my subordinates want to visit you on a certain day. ”

"No need, my father has never had a fixed place to live, and he doesn't like to be disturbed by others." I just refused.

"Haha, Lord Weigong, you don't welcome your subordinates. However, it is disrespectful for a subordinate to inquire about your experience without permission, and I ask for your forgiveness. He laughed a few times as if he had deliberately exaggerated, and the Duke of Cornwall ended his questioning.

…………

"Congratulations to the king!" The Duke of Cornwall turned to the maiden and said, "Since Lord Merlin's sudden disappearance, Camelot has been without the protection of the mage for a long time. The land is barren, foreign enemies are returning, and the people are panicking. The appearance of Lord Emiya at this time can really be said to have saved my urgent need in Britain! ”

"Uncle Groris, even when Mr. Merlin was at Camelot, Britain never relied on the power of magic." The girl's expression was very solemn, "Besides, I don't plan to let Shirou serve as a court magician in the future, and my love for Shirou has nothing to do with his identity or talent. ”

"That's nature, the root of Camelot's undying glory is your king's deeds, every Briton thinks so from the bottom of his heart." Cornwall nodded heavily and leaned down, "In addition, in the eyes of your subordinates, you and Lord Weigong are so affectionate, can you consider holding a wedding as soon as possible?" ”

“……！” The girl and I looked at each other, and we both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Skaha, who had been sitting on the side, raised his eyebrows, and there was a look of understanding in his eyes.

…………

“…… Uncle Groris, didn't you object to me and Shirou? I thought you would be so repulsed by Shirou's Gentile status that you don't agree with our ......" The girl looked surprised.

"What are you talking about, my lord, have you always been a stubborn person in your heart?" The Duke of Cornwall looked a little angry, "As a courtier, the greatest wish is that the king can be happy. In addition, the subordinates dare to say as an elder, you have finally found the man you want after so many years, and it is too late for your subordinates to be happy for you, how can they speak out against it? ”

“…… But even so, the wedding doesn't have to rush to this time. The girl's face turned slightly red, "Camelot has been busy lately, and it is really not suitable to spend extra energy on such a thing. ”

"Your Majesty, this is a bad word." The Duke of Cornwall shook his head repeatedly, "At this time, the country is in a difficult time, and everything is suitable to be simple, but this should never be a reason to hinder you from uniting with Lord Weigong. Depending on the subordinates, the wedding can be held simply inside the Camelot, but it must be announced to the whole country afterwards. Your marriage to Lord Emiya is a match made in heaven, and deserves the unanimous blessing of all the people. What's more, from an objective point of view, Britain now urgently needs a happy event to dilute the people's anxiety and boost the morale of the army. ”

…………

"This ......," the girl was in a dilemma, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at me, "...... What does Shirou think? ”

"I think...... As long as you're happy, it's fine. Raising my hand to gently smooth the girl's soft hair, I slowly fell into thought.

The Duke of Cornwall's words were completely flawless, sounding completely kind. But I always felt that something wasn't right.

…………

It's good that my relationship with Artoria is recognized by the Duke of Cornwall, but ...... Why is his attitude so eager, as if trying to get us along?

As long as it is human, all actions must have desires. Including Artoria wants to protect the country and the people, and I want to protect her, it is all counted among them. In fact, it is precisely by relying on the constant desire in our hearts that we have come all the way to where we are now.

The Duke of Cornwall was no exception.

But what good is it to the Duke of Cornwall that I marry a maiden? I couldn't figure it out.

…………

"Lily, and the imps, you've been fooled." At this moment, a voice with a chuckle came from the side.

“…… Predecessor? "Looking at Skaha, who had regained her languid posture on a luxurious bench, I deliberately withheld her name.

A nobleman like the Duke of Cornwall who could not be more standard must have read a lot of ancient books and classics, and it is impossible not to have heard of the legend of the Queen of the Shadow Land of Skaha.

If he knows his identity, I'm afraid that the implementation of Skaha's follow-up plan will be difficult.

…………

“…… Who are you? Unsurprisingly, Cornwall asked Skaha, frowning.

"Hehe, whether it is the discovery of the other party's weaknesses or the follow-up targeting, it is impeccable, I must praise you, worthy of the Duke of Cornwall of Britain." Skaha just smiled indifferently, "Under normal circumstances, you might really succeed." Unfortunately, fate itself won't allow you to do that. ”

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all, and I don't care what you say. The Duke of Cornwall's face remained unchanged, but his fists at his sides were slightly clenched.

"If you really don't care what I say, why do you want to tell me?" Skaha asked calmly.

…………

"......" The Duke of Cornwall closed his lips and tilted his head to the side, refusing to make any more eye contact with Skaha.

"Lily, let's assume now what would happen if you really got married to the imp in the near future." Skaha looked at the girl with a complicated gaze and said, "First of all, according to British law, only nobles can intermarry, let alone members of the royal family. Your current public identity is considered a royal princess, so you must first give the imp a knighthood to gain the recognition of all the people. ”

These words were unanimously nodded in agreement by everyone present.

"After that, it's the form of marriage. You have two options, one is that Lily marries into the Emiya family as a wife, and the other is that the imp enters Lily's Pendragon family as a husband. Speaking of this, Skaha paused deliberately before continuing, "The first option, because the imp already has a title and the Wei Gong family to which he belongs, Lily has to change her surname to Wei Gong from now on. Needless to say, the second option is that the imp must change his surname to Pendragon. ”

"Imp, tell me if you're willing to change your surname? Don't tell me it's okay to think about Lily or sacrifice this kind of excuse, be honest and say what's really in your heart right now. With that, Skaha stared into my eyes.

“…… Unwilling. "Under the pressure of Skaha's eyes, I didn't even have the courage to move a finger, let alone want to lie, so I could only admit it honestly.

This ordinary surname is the only thing left to me by the deceased Kiritsu, and it cannot be discarded in any way.

"That makes things easier. If you don't want to change your surname, then Lily's character will consciously change your surname as your wife. Retracting his momentum slightly, Skaha turned to the girl again, "Lily, I don't need to tell you what losing your royal family name means to you, right?" ”
