Chapter 64: Bedwell

"Wait...... This blonde hair, and those turquoise pupils, should you ......" After listening to the girl's declaration, the mouth of the middle-aged man behind the young man opened widely, and his expression became extremely terrifying in an instant.

"Hey, Halls, young master, I'll just reprimand you a few words, don't be scared like this." The young man was completely immersed in the girl's beauty, not realizing the change in the situation at all, and even patted the middle-aged man's shoulder with a smile, "Young master, I'm joking." How can I be willing to let my father punish you, you must know that without you by my side, I will not know where to find beautiful women in the future. ”

"Hahaha......" The middle-aged man laughed miserably, "Young master, if you don't have to do it yourself this time, your subordinates will definitely die." And not only your subordinates, but even you, including the Duke, are completely finished! ”

“…… What do you mean by that? The young man frowned in bewilderment.

…………

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves appeared again not far away.

Only this time, the voice came from the direction of Camelot, and it was clearly the knights of the city.

It's only a few miles from the gates, and I can make out the people by the fluttering silver hair, even if I don't have to enhance my vision with magic.

It's Bedwell, and during my trip to the Shadow Nation with the girl, she temporarily maintained order in Camelot as a former Knight of the Round Table.

When I saw Bedwell, I was relieved.

…………

"My king!" With two members behind her, who were supposed to be the new Knights of the Round Table, Bedwell galloped in our direction from a distance.

"Oh? Is that...... Sir Bedwell? Seeing the arrival of the female knight, the young man showed a look of ecstasy on his face after a moment of surprise, "I see, in order to show my status as the new king of Camelot, my father specially arranged for the knights of the round table to greet him?" Haha, my father really has a heart. ”

The middle-aged man behind the young man was full of despair in his eyes. For him, everything in front of him is the best proof of the worst of all the speculations.

"......" understood that everything was irretrievable, so he simply kept silent.

…………

Stopping about ten meters in front of me and the girl, Bedwell dismounted and hurried towards us with excitement on his face.

"Sir, I'm actually bothering you to greet you, and it's been hard all the way." The young man stepped forward before us and smirked.

Unexpectedly, Bedwell didn't even look at him, and passed him straight by.

"My king, Lord Weigong, my subordinates are late, please punish them!" Falling to one knee in front of me and the girl, Bedwell bowed deeply.

…………

"My king, I beg your forgiveness!"

As Bedwell's words fell, everyone present knelt in our direction for the first time, except for the youth.

"This ...... What's going on? Looking at the surrounding scene, the young man who stood alone and looked particularly dazzling was stunned for a while, "The object of your kneeling is wrong, young master, I am your king!" ”

Hearing the young man's sloquette to himself, Bedwell's heroic eyebrows furrowed. But since the girl had not yet spoken, she endured it and did not act.

…………

"Forgive your innocence, get up, Beddie Well." The girl spoke calmly and motioned for the female knight to straighten up, "It's not my fault that I didn't tell you the time of return in advance. ”

"Yes, my king." Bediwell stood up respectfully, his face full of apologies, "I'm really sorry, although my subordinates have specially notified the garrison troops at the border to pay special attention to the return of you and Lord Weigong, I didn't expect that there was still a omission. If it weren't for the guards on the city walls who discovered you and Lord Emiya, I'm afraid my subordinates wouldn't have known that you had returned to Camelot......"

"It's not your fault, Bedwell. After all, Artoria and I came back through unconventional methods with the help of Queen Skaha. Seeing that Bedwell had fallen into self-reflection mode as easily as usual, I hastened to speak to her.

"Hey, Lord Emiya, have you and my king been approved by Queen Skaha? Wouldn't that be ...... dragon beard grass too? Bedwell was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "Sure enough, it's really worthy of Lord Emiya." As long as you are by my king's side, I am afraid that there is no difficulty in this world at all. ”

…………

"Don't flatter me anymore, you're a knight anyway, honesty is the bare minimum rule, isn't it?" I smiled softly.

"Lord Emiya, my subordinates are not lying! The subordinates just tell the truth what they think in their hearts! Bedwell said dissatisfied.

"Uh-huh, I admit that Bedwell is the most honest knight!" I felt a burst of amusement in my heart. After getting along for a while before, I have already discovered that the biggest characteristic of Bedwell's personality is that he is extremely serious and refuses to admit defeat.

I don't know if she was influenced by Artoria.

…………

"Okay Shirou, Bedwell, don't make a fuss, like two little children." Although the tone sounded like a reprimand, the girl had a gentle chuckle on her face, "Bedwell, can you tell me how long Shirou and I have been away from Camelot?" ”

"My king, you and Lord Weigong have been away for just two days." Beddie bent down slightly and said, "Morgan Lefey's spell is still half a day before it will take effect, so the Dragon's Whisker Grass must be given to the family of the Blue Dragon Slayer Knight within today." ”

This time was exactly what we expected, as normal world time passes ten times faster than in the Shadow Country. And we've been in the Shadow Nation for almost twenty days.

"I see. Let's go to the city, and after making sure that the victim is safe, I will hand over the undecidable affairs that have accumulated in the past two days to me. The girl nodded.

…………

"Yes, my king." Anyone could hear the relief in Bedwell's tone.

Even though she was once a member of the Knights of the Round Table, and was familiar with many matters because she was in charge of Artoria's daily life, the pressure on her shoulders was understandable when Camelot had to decide everything to Bediwell.

Now that the girl has returned, Bedwell is naturally completely relieved as if she has found her backbone. And looking at the tiredness that she couldn't hide in her eyes, it was obvious that she was about to reach her limit.

…………

"But my king, what's the matter with this man?" It was only then that Bedwell's mind about youth was remembered.

Looking at the young man standing in the center blankly, Bedwell frowned: "It is illegal to lead the army to stay outside the city of Camelot for no reason, and you dare to ride a white horse." What's even more serious is that when I saw that my king did not dismount and salute, he even spoke wildly and claimed to be the king of Camelot. Any of these acts would be sufficient for immediate imprisonment. ”

"He's the son of the Duke of Cornwall, leave him alone." The girl shook her head, "Don't let him into the city, wait until I summon the Duke of Cornwall and ask him about what has just happened." ”
