"Nope! I don't want it! Not even having time to think, the girl blurted out.

"So, you know it's definitely not going to work like this." A subtle smile appeared on Skaha's face, "From another point of view, you have been trying to replace the decision-making of the entire people, just like a mother who is overprotective of her children, and has hindered the healthy development of the object of your heart. For me to say, it's time to choose to trust your people and let them decide for themselves. ”

“…… Please give me a moment and I will seriously consider your suggestion. After a long silence, the girl finally sat back down at the table and leaned over to handle the next file.

"Of course, in the end, I'm just talking about my experience as a person who has come over, and the final decision is all in the hands of you and the little ghost." Smiling casually, Skaha leaned back lazily and gracefully leaned back on a luxurious bench beside him.

…………

After that, none of us spoke again.

The girl and I were rushing to deal with the crowded government affairs, and Bedwell was busy sorting through the various files. Skaha, on the other hand, was half-lying and slightly closed, not knowing what to think about leisurely.

The silence went on and on.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the footsteps of the chief of the guard came in, breaking the strange atmosphere.

…………

"My king, Duke of Cornwall, please see." The girl in the center of the council hall bent deeply, and the chief of the guard announced in a loud voice.

"I've seen Lord Emiya and Lord Bedwell." Of course, he did not forget to bow respectfully to me and the knightess.

His gaze swept over Skaha, and the chief of the guard's eyes showed deep doubt, obviously he did not understand where this beautiful and mature woman came from, and why she dared to put on such a casual posture in this council hall.

But if he was smart enough to become Camelot's chief guard, he wouldn't ask much on such an occasion.

…………

The quill in the girl's hand paused.

"Got it, tell him to come in." In just a moment, the girl returned to normal, and ordered in a calm tone.

"Yes, my king." The chief guard retreated.

…………

"Oh? It's the Duke of Cornwall, and he's a big man in Britain. Skaha stretched out his arms unconcernedly, "Then Lily, for your sake, I'll reluctantly show respect to him." ”

With that, Skaha sat back slightly.

"Senior Skaha...... "Seeing this, I can only smile bitterly."

For sages like Skaha, whose spirit is completely beyond the ordinary world, the universal laws of the world can no longer work for them.

The girl should have understood this, so she didn't say anything.

But Bedwell looked very uneasy, and his eyes were full of worry.

…………

"Qiang ...... Qiang ......"

About half a minute later, a man in full armor stepped into the council hall with vigorous steps.

The man was thin but looked powerful, his short gray hair was neatly combed, the beard on his chin was cleanly shaved, and his expression was serious and unsmiling.

Ming Ming is old, but the deep wrinkles engraved on his face do not show old age at all, but give people a feeling of rich experience, no less than the prime of life.

…………

As soon as he entered the hall, he gave a very standard subordinate salute to the girl's position.

"Subordinate Groris, I have seen the king and the guard!" His voice was loud and full of energy.

Although the Duke of Cornwall, who is unrivaled in all of Britain, his behavior does not show the slightest arrogance.

On the contrary, he reveals a temperament of old age and strength, loyalty and humility.

Even I couldn't help but wonder if the arrogant young man I had met outside the city was really his son.

…………

As for Bedwell, he only nodded slightly, and even Bedwell showed a look of panic.

You must know that in terms of identity, the Duke of Cornwall is the elder brother of the former King Yuser and the former first heir to the throne. Although Bedwell was a Knight of the Round Table, he was only knighted, and his status was very different.

Glancing over Skaha, who was sitting casually on the side, the Duke of Cornwall's brow furrowed slightly, but quickly withdrew his gaze without a trace.

"It's been a hard journey, Uncle Groris, please take a seat." For the Duke of Cornwall's audience, the girl also smiled and stepped down from her seat to greet her in person. The Duke of Cornwall is an elder after all, so it is necessary to give him enough face.

…………

"I don't know what the king summoned his subordinates, what is the so-called?" After the greetings, everyone took their seats again, and the Duke of Cornwall looked up and asked.

"There's nothing special, it's just that I haven't seen Uncle in a while, so I just want to check on how you're doing." The girl smiled, not saying a word about what had happened outside the city before, "Uncle, you don't blame me for making assertions, do you?" ”

"Haha, the king, you are laughing, how dare your subordinates?" The Duke of Cornwall couldn't help laughing, "Thanks to you, this old bone can last for a while." ”

"That's great, and I'm relieved to know you're healthy. You are a national treasure of Britain, but you must not miss the slightest mistake. ”

"The king has a good reputation, and his subordinates are just knights, but your orders are obeyed. You are the pillar of Camelot and all of Britain, the eternal love of all the people. ”

…………

The two of you talk to me, chatting about all kinds of topics that don't matter.

Bedwell stood cautiously aside, while I sat beside the maiden and watched everything quietly.

“…… Speaking of which, the fact that you suddenly have a lover really surprised everyone, including your subordinates. Chatting and chatting, the Duke of Cornwall intentionally or unintentionally pulled the topic to me, "Lord Weigong is already so capable at such a young age, and his momentum is also extraordinary, I wonder which of your father's generations is a long-standing big man?" ”

Seeing Cornwall's kind expression at me, my heart sank.

Undoubtedly, he was asking me about my origins. If an ordinary boy had been so highly praised by such a character, he would have been so carried away that he would have shown off all his secrets.

…………

"Oh, this is my negligence, I really didn't explain Shirou's identity to you in detail." The girl's face was as usual, and she looked at me with a smile, "Shirou, why don't you take this opportunity to introduce yourself to Uncle Grorys." ”

"Well, you are Artoria's elder, and I have nothing to hide from you." Glancing at the girl's eyes, it suddenly became clear to me that I smiled very innocently at the Duke of Cornwall.
