"My king...... This ...... "The knight's eyes showed deep pain.

"From the very beginning, give me 1510 to make it clear!" The girl gritted her teeth hard, her face tense.

"I sympathize...... Her Royal Highness the Princess, what happened to her. When she was still a girl, Her Royal Highness was sent to Camelot as a victim of diplomatic relations. But on the other hand, I am happy for her, because she is married to the best man in the whole world. I believe that the king and the princess will love each other and become a good story in Britain. The knight bowed his head, and the words sounded more like a narrative to everyone present.

“…… However, in the middle of the night, when I was silent and uninhabited, I often saw Her Royal Highness the princess leaning alone by the city wall, looking at the bright moon and sighing. At first, I thought it was an occasional feud between the princess and the king, and I didn't pay much attention to it. But after a lot of times, I became suspicious. So one day, when there was no one nearby, I stopped the princess and asked her if there was any misunderstanding between her and the king, and if I could help her. ”

"The princess was surprised at first, obviously not knowing that I had been following her for so long. But soon she regained her usual grace and composure, and said to me with a smile, 'Nothing, Lancelot. It's better to say the opposite. The king and I have long been of the same mind. I understand the king perfectly, just as the king understands me perfectly. Without waiting for me to ask anything more, the princess hurried away. ”

However, the scene of the princess's grief that night was obviously unbelievable. And no matter what the occasion, the princess never called the king's name 'Atolis' once, and never even called 'my husband', but always respectfully called 'king'. In contrast to what everyone thinks of as a princess who respects the king, I think that the king and the princess are fundamentally not like a couple. Because there is something most essential missing in their relationship. ”

"Her Royal Highness has not been out at night since the day she spoke with me. I also take it for granted that the princess and the king have reconciled, and they have always been too worried. But for some reason, the deep resentment in the princess's eyes has always lingered in my mind and cannot be dissipated. ”

"After half a year like this, one night when I was on duty, I unexpectedly saw the princess who came out to fetch water. I was amazed, because it was clearly the work of the servants. Besides, even if there are no servants, they can always entrust others to do it, and it is impossible to let the noble princess do it herself. So I went straight up and snatched the kettle from the princess's hand, and told her to let her go back to the room first, and I would make water for her. The princess looked a little embarrassed, but she handed me the kettle anyway, and just insisted on standing there and waiting for me to come back. I had no choice but to agree. ”

"When I came back from fetching water, I kept sending the princess to the door of the room, and I was going to leave. But then......" the knight closed his eyes, "the princess suddenly hugged me hard from behind, and begged me not to go away like this. ”

…………

"I know that as a knight who has sworn allegiance to the king, you must refuse Her Royal Highness the princess in words. However, at that time, I didn't even think about it for some reason, so I just turned around and hugged the princess and kissed her. Then I asked if the king did not love the princess and always abused her. ”

As a result, the princess cried directly, and tears flowed wildly. I have never seen a woman cry so much, let alone a woman as beautiful as the princess. That was enough to bring down the warrior who was as iron as he was inside. I quickly told her not to be afraid, and to tell me everything she had been through. Even if I rush to the throne and confront the king, I will call the shots for her. ”

"But the princess shook her head and said, 'No, Lancelot. Wang has always been very kind to me and cared for my life in every detail. I came out to fetch water today, but I didn't want to trouble the servants, and no one bullied me. It's just that...... Forever, no one can love me. ’”

"Looking at the princess's sad face, my psychology was sad for a while. I said, how is this possible, you are so young and beautiful, and you have elegant manners, as long as you are a man, there is no one who does not like you. The king may have been so busy with government that he ignored you for the time being. When you are free, the king will definitely accompany you. ”

"'No, there's only one thing I'm absolutely sure of. The king will never love me, just as no one will ever love him. Seeing that I was confused, the princess's eyes suddenly became solemn, "Lancelot, you are the best knight in all of Britain, so promise me that what I am going to say next, you will keep it a secret forever?" ’”

At that time, I didn't realize anything, I just nodded as usual, thinking that I was just listening to some of the princess's troubles. However, the princess told me that the king was actually a girl younger than her......"

The knight couldn't bear to look up at the girl's delicate face.

However, the blonde girl didn't look at him either.

…………

"At that time, I couldn't believe my ears. Although the knights have joked more than once in private, my king is so petite and so beautiful, I am afraid that it is not the girl who has been dressing up as a man. But because it was a joke, absolutely no one believed it, so I was able to say it without any worries. ”

"The princess told me that on the night of her marriage, the king confessed her true sex to her and asked for her forgiveness. My king's real name is not 'Artoris', but 'Artoria', a maiden who has maintained her appearance at the age of fifteen since the day the sword was drawn. The reason why the king wanted to marry her was purely out of the requirements of political marriage. And the princess also fully understands the hard work of the king who has always supported the country alone, so this matter has become a secret that no one knows. ”

So from that day on, the king and the princess dressed up as husband and wife during the day, and looked like they were respectful of each other, and at night they went into separate rooms to rest. Although sometimes the king would stay in the princess's room for a while, on the one hand, to visit the princess, and on the other hand, to dispel people's doubts. But there was not a long silent night, and the princess was not alone until dawn. ”

That's when I realized what a cruel truth was hidden behind Camelot's prosperity. But what's even more cruel is that even if I know all this, what can I do? The knight smiled self-deprecatingly, "Reveal the true identity of the king to all the people and knights?" Not to mention whether anyone will believe it, even if everyone really understands, how can they allow a woman to be their king? And the princess is also destined to not be free, and can only be trapped in Camelot, who is like a prison version for her, for the rest of her life, and she can't even find someone to tell her thoughts. ”
