Chapter 69: Avella
Bedwell's words fell for only a few seconds, and a young woman, who seemed to be the mother of the little girl, walked out of the crowd tremblingly.
The woman's appearance is still very good, but for some reason she looks very haggard.
"Your Majesty...... I beg your forgiveness. The woman knelt down directly, her voice full of horror.
"Bedwell." Raising her hand to stop Bedwell who wanted to reprimand, the girl's slender arms supported the horse's back, and her body jumped off the ground lightly.
Seeing this, I also dismounted and stood side by side with the maiden.
Bedwell, Buck, and the others immediately dismounted, and gathered around us vigilantly.
…………
The girl slowly walked up to the little girl and crouched down to keep her eyes level with her.
"What's your name? Can you tell me? Looking into the little girl's eyes, the girl's smile and voice were extremely gentle.
“…… Hello big sister, my name is Avella. The little girl looked a lot more relieved, looked at the girl in front of her, and her beautiful big eyes blinked curiously, "What about you, big sister, what's your name?" ”
"Come back, Avella! Don't be rude to the king! The woman kneeling beside her hurriedly shouted at the little girl.
…………
"Avella...... It's a beautiful name, and if I'm not mistaken, it probably represents a legendary elf. The girl ignored it at all, gently stroked the little girl's head, and smiled repeatedly, "My name is Artoria." The pronunciation is relatively long, so remember it carefully. ”
Looking down and quickly repeating the girl's name a few times, the little girl quickly raised her head again and said seriously: "Avella remembers, Sister Artoria." ”
"Well, that's awesome. Avella is as cute as her name. The girl looked very happy, and put her arms on the little girl's shoulders, and her lips were printed directly in the center of her little forehead.
…………
"Hee-hee, my mother used to say that about Avella." The little girl had completely forgotten the previous shadow, and showed a child's pure smile, "Sister Artoria, who is this big brother next to you?" ”
“…… His name is Emiya Shirou, and he is his sister's only partner in this life. Turning to look at me, the girl had a faint crimson and a happy smile on her face.
"Huh? What is a companion? Avella looked puzzled.
"A partner is ...... Someone who will make you feel heartfelt joy and happiness just by being with him. And each other is each other's everything, no matter what happens, they will never be separated! The girl seemed to be asked, and thought for a moment before answering firmly.
“…… In other words, Brother Emiya will always be by Sister Artoria's side. As if understanding, Avira tilted her head, "Avira is so envious, when will she get her partner?" ”
"Avella will definitely have it when she grows up. Avella is so beautiful, there will definitely be a lot of excellent boys lining up to find her. Stroking Avella's head again, the girl smiled softer.
…………
After a while, the two girls, one big and one young, got acquainted.
Seeing that the two of them got along very well, the woman who was originally worried on the side gradually showed a smile on her face.
"It's Avella's mom over there, right?" Heading in the direction of the woman, the girl confirmed to the little girl.
"Well, it's Mom." As soon as she saw the woman, the little girl suddenly became lively, and her hands and feet couldn't stop waving at the woman, "Mom, Avella is here!" Today I also met Brother Emiya and Sister Artoria, and Avella is really happy! ”
"Well, let's let Mommy come to us." The girl straightened up with a smile on her face as she spoke, and beckoned slightly to the woman to come forward.
…………
Seeing the girl's gesture, the woman's expression was obviously hesitant.
But looking at the daughter who was sticking to the girl's leg and kept waving at her, the woman finally cautiously leaned forward step by step.
"Wang Shang......" looked at the girl's clear and beautiful blue eyes up close, and the woman unconsciously lowered her head deeply.
"I'm so sorry I almost hurt your daughter." The girl was the first to speak, and said calmly, "I apologize to you and your daughter. ”
…………
“……! No...... No, the king, it's obvious that I didn't take a good look at ......" The woman was so shocked that she was about to kneel on the ground again.
"It doesn't have to be this way, it's a child's nature to be playful, and I know you definitely didn't mean to." The girl waved her hand to stop the woman from kneeling, "But I still hope that you can pay more attention to your daughter in the future, after all, this is the duty of a mother." ”
"Your Majesty...... Actually, Avella is usually very quiet, but this time it is...... Because the pendant her father had left her had fallen outside, she rushed out in such a hurry that I couldn't stop it for a moment......" The woman was silent for a moment before bowing her head and replying.
“…… What about Avella's father? Listen to what you mean, he hasn't been there in a long time? The girl couldn't help frowning.
…………
Just asked casually, but the woman's eyes turned red.
"Your Majesty...... Avella's father, my favorite husband, was a British soldier. The woman's voice choked, "In the first battle of Kamran, my husband died on the battlefield and will never come back......"
"So that's ......" The girl's eyes were also filled with sadness, and she looked down at the little girl, "Avella, have you found your pendant?" If not, do you mind if I accompany you to find it? ”
"No, Sister Artoria, I've found it." Avella smiled and spread her palms towards the girl, revealing a dark black pendant lying in it.
"That's great. It's something very important to Avella, so be sure to take good care of it. The girl looked even happier than Avella, and took her small body into her arms.
…………
"Hmm...... Artoria's sister's arms are also very warm, like a mother's feeling. The little head rubbed against the girl's chest, and Avella let out a voice of enjoyment, "That's it...... Breasts are a little smaller......"
"......" The girl's face turned red instantly.
"Avella! Don't talk nonsense! The woman was also embarrassed and blamed her daughter again and again.
…………
"Ahem." Letting go of Avella, the girl cleared her throat and finally regained her normal color.
"Camelot hasn't quite gotten through the hard times right now, so I'm really sorry that I can't give you enough money to sustain yourself right now. But rest assured, as long as Camelot returns to prosperity in the future, the first thing I will do is to compensate the families of the victims, including you. The maiden solemnly said to the woman, "In addition, I can swear today that I will never let this pain of losing her husband befall Avella again in a few years!" ”
“…… I believe in you, Your Majesty! You can do it! The woman's dry eyes suddenly glowed with unprecedented brilliance.
…………
"Long live my king! We will swear allegiance to the death! ”
Almost at the same time, the soldiers and civilians on both sides erupted in deafening applause and roars, which were many times warmer than before.
