With a cold snort at Ios, Lancelot turned and returned to his previous position.

"Ahem, Your Majesty the Knight King, I think that instead of worrying about the war in a dozen years, it is better to think about how to solve the war with the Saxons that Britain is currently facing. Do you think so? Clearing his throat, Ios's attitude became serious.

"Britain, which had just experienced a civil war, had faced a large-scale invasion by the Saxons, and it was indeed stormy for a while." The girl looked at Ios calmly, "But with the unity of all Britons, the predicament has been overcome. Now Britain is not afraid of the Saxon army. ”

"That's right, His Majesty the Knight King personally took action, where is there any reason that the Saxons can take advantage." Ios seemed to boast in agreement, "As long as Britain can remain on the defensive, abandoning all agriculture, handicrafts, and foreign trade, and keeping all the citizens of millions of people in hiding in the city of Camelot, which can only accommodate a few tens of thousands of people, under the premise of unlimited rations, then the safety of every Briton can be fully guaranteed." ”

…………

Ios's words made everyone present frown.

"I admit that your words are true. In terms of my abilities, it's the limit to what I can do. After a moment, the girl suddenly laughed, "Then may I ask you, what can you bring to me Britannia?" ”

"There is no hidden danger for the Saxons, complete withdrawal!" Ios waved his hand proudly, "Not only that, but I can also promise that the Saxons will never set foot in Britain in the next twenty years." Every baby born in Britain today can breathe the air of freedom and peace until they reach adulthood!

"As long as you are willing to invest in me once!"

The air fell silent.

…………

"Bastard! Not only have you deceived my king, but now you want to use my king to ascend to your throne? Lancelot was the first to strike, glaring at the boy's eyes with rage that almost burst into flames, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The Saxons have always been in the way, as long as you get what you want, the first thing you will do is to break your trust and completely ravage me Britannia! ”

"I'm different from my brother." Ios remained calm and continued to the girl, "Brother Wang is undoubtedly a warmonger, and dreams of conquering the world every day. And I'm just trying to get back what belongs to me. Besides, I saved Shirou's life twice, and after learning the true identity of your Knight King, I still ordered my guardian beast to save you and your Knights of the Round Table. I don't think I need to discuss my personal qualities. ”

"My king, you must not listen to him!" Lancelot anxiously shouted at the girl, "Britain's predicament is solved by his subordinates, even if he kneels in front of Queen Skaha and pleads, his subordinates will ask for the help of the Shadow Country!" ”

…………

"Lancelot, you ......" I looked at the knight in surprise.

"My friend," the girl's gaze shifted as well, "is this the purpose of your visit to the Shadow Country?" ”

"I ......" The knight was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was speechless, "My king, my subordinates just want to share your worries, and they have absolutely no other ideas......

"Lancelot," the maiden called the knight's full name for the first time, and her tone was low and depressed, "I am not in the affairs of Britain, when will it be the turn of other countries to intervene?" ”

"Oh, it's really here again......" Kai, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile helplessly when he saw the girl like this.

…………

"My king, I beg your pardon!" The knight fell to his knees suddenly, "As early as when I heard that the 'daughter of the Knight King' was temporarily in charge of the state at Camelot, my subordinates guessed that you were not dead. But the guilt of causing the separation of the round table made his subordinates have no face to return to Camelot to see you! While his subordinates were hesitating, they learned the news of the Saxons' large-scale invasion of Britain. Therefore, his subordinates decided to come to the Shadow Country to ask for help......"

The knight's head hung deep into his chest, not daring to look up into the girl's eyes.

"So, even if you see me, you still choose to hide your identity and fight against me, just to eliminate me with everyone and achieve the final victory by yourself? That way, you can bear Skaha's humiliation in my place, right? The girl said coldly.

“…… Yes, the first reaction of the subordinates is: you are also here...... I would like support. This kind of whispering thing...... Subordinate to do ...... Only...... That's it......"

The knight's voice grew quieter and quieter, and by the end it was almost inaudible.

…………

"Smack, smack, smack......"

Just as I was about to say something to help Lancelot, Ios came with a deliberate loud applause.

"It's so touching. An incomparably loyal knight, willing to give everything for the sake of his beloved king. Lancelot, you really deserve to be a model of knights......" The young man's tone was extremely exaggerated, and at first glance he thought he was reciting a play.

"Shut up, damn smiling tiger! How can a guy like you, who only uses others, understand the nobility of ideals and dedication?! The knight said hatefully at the boy.

…………

"It's great to dedicate yourself to your ideals." The boy smiled disapprehantly, "Especially, when this ideal is someone I love deeply, but I never dare to show my feelings to him." ”

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about! Lancelot's expression froze instantly.

"Ios don't! Please, only now, don't say it! Kai, who was not far away, ran over with a frenzied shout.

"Gee, that's not going to work. Everyone knows very well in their hearts that only the person concerned feels in the dark, but it is very bad. The boy stretched out a finger and shook it gently.

…………

Seeing this scene, I also vaguely understood the original doubts.

It's just that if it's true, that's too ......

"My friend, Ios, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all? Only the girl didn't understand what was going on, and tilted her head to ask the two.

"Your Majesty the Knight King, I'll just say it." Ios deftly sideways to avoid Lancelot's flutter, and smiled at the girl, "Lancelot, he has loved you deeply all these years. ”

"No ——!!!" Lancelot let out a loud, painful wail.

…………

"What...... What, you say, my friend ......?! The girl's eyes widened, as if she had not expected it at all.

"Well, sure enough, Your Majesty the Knight King, you didn't realize it at all?" Ios sighed.

"But...... Guinevere, she, obviously ......" The girl stopped in the middle of speaking.

As if realizing something, the girl's face instantly became gloomy.

…………

"Lancelot, tell me clearly what you approached Guinevere for in the first place?!"

The girl's eyes when she looked at Lancelot showed endless killing intent.
