"In this way, although the subordinates don't understand it very well, since you say so, then you have to obey your fate."

Lancelot scratched his head.

"Anyway, it's good that the misunderstanding is resolved, and when Gilgamesh is done calming down, we'll leave for Camelot."

I nodded.

"That...... Shall I go back with me? ”

Guinevere asked quietly, a little unconfidently.

"Of course, Camelot is our common home, and going home is not a matter of course?"

I was a little baffled by Guinevere's questioning.

"But...... I am undoubtedly a sinner, and if I go back like this, I fear that you will suffer a loss of honor because of me. ”

Guinevere's face was a little hesitant, as if she couldn't make up her mind.

"Guinevere, you're thinking too much." The blonde girl shook her head slightly, "If we had been worried about this from the beginning, we wouldn't have come here to look for you." ”

"I know your intentions. I'm also very grateful to you for taking such a hard time with me. Guinevere nodded slightly, "But...... Sure enough, it would be better for me and Lancelot to find another place to live in seclusion. Camelot...... I don't have the courage to go back yet. ”

“……”

I understand Guinevere's feelings.

Camelot carried the most precious time of her life, the happiest and the saddest things in it.

If you choose to go back, it means that you have to reawaken those memories that have been sealed up with great difficulty.

Everyone has a vulnerable forbidden area in their hearts, and this is probably the most vulnerable part of Guinevere.

If it was her own choice, then—

"Nope."

Guinevere's suggestion was interrupted by a sudden speech.

For a moment, we were all a little surprised.

Because it was Lancelot himself who denied her so firmly.

"My dear Lancelot...... You should be the one who knows me best, right, why do you ......? Guinevere looked at Lancelot's face in a daze.

"Yes, I understand you." Lancelot nodded slightly, "That's why I have to stop you from running away. ”

"We ...... We can no longer continue to turn a blind eye to reality. Even if we can find a place where no one knows us, it doesn't change the fact that I'm Lancelot and you're Guinevere. The past that has happened cannot be changed in any way. ”

Although there was a faint sadness in his eyes, Lancelot still said it with his chest straight.

How could this greatest knight of the round table not be self-anesthetized and in pain?

In the past, he lived the rest of his life in regret for the death of the king and sadness for the separation of the round table.

But what if that is already happening?

Except for the eternal pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, resisting the last beat of the heart in the chest, raising the head or losing its brilliance, and moving forward resolutely even if it wept bitterly.

This is the knight named Lancelot, who chooses to survive.

It is not an acceptance of fate, but a curse.

Fate may also be done by God, and then curse a simple man-made disaster.

With a cursed life, the knight seeks endless eternity.

Or a god's death, like madness—

Or the vastness, the empty flow-

But in the end.

At the end of the darkness, the knight was relieved.

The meaning of existence is re-given, and the depleted heart is filled with hope.

He regained his glory.

However, the past was not abandoned by him.

Just like the endless winter sun, a ray of sunshine falls on the ice and snow.

Darkness had destroyed his spirit, but it had given him a stronger will.

If you want to escape the absurdity, you can only turn into sadness.

Only in this way can we always be healthy and no longer confused.

So, the knight wants the woman to understand this.

Burial cannot be extinguished, and escape cannot be reversed.

But confronting panic breeds hope.

"Our sin...... It will take a lifetime to pay it back. We're going to go back to Camelot and dedicate all our lives to it. Lancelot's voice was soft but resolute, "This is true atonement." If you don't go back to Camelot, I'll do it myself! ”

“……”

None of us spoke, quietly watching Guinevere.

Her decision will be the final result.

"Whew...... I can't stand you, Lancelot......" After a while, Guinevere lowered her head.

"What if...... If you could have said that to me from the beginning, there probably wouldn't have been so many things later......"

"Yes, it's my responsibility that I didn't realize that at the beginning." Lancelot nodded.

"So, I want you to make it up to me, you must not think about leaving!" Guinevere stepped forward and grabbed Lancelot's arm, "From now on, I'll follow you wherever you go!" ”

"Okay, I'll never leave you behind again this time." Lancelot smiled as well.

"Whew-"

I was relieved to breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the controversy ended in victory with Lancelot's persistence.

Lancelot and Guinevere will continue their legendary life together in Camelot in the future.

Although there have been misunderstandings, there have been betrayals -

However, everything is back to square one and back on track.

This may not be the most happy outcome, but it is undoubtedly the most promising.

In that sense, it should be the best.

"Tsk, the British mind is really incomprehensible." At this time, Gilgamesh's voice rang in his ears, "This king can understand now how tired you are from managing this country. ”

"Uh...... I think it's okay. We are all kind people and have a sense of purpose in our hearts. I thought for a moment and said, "Maybe that's what the real ideal country is." ”

At Camelot, morality and glory are arguably deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and most of the time the law is useless.

Every citizen, regardless of status or wealth, will be in awe and keep to himself.

Of course, it is the work of Artoria, who single-handedly founded the city of knights.

"Mission?" Gilgamesh seemed to chew on these two words, and then shook his head repeatedly, "This kind of thing is not something that can be relied on for a long time. ”

"Listen well, little ghost, only the weak, when they have no goal, will assume a mission almost delusionally, thinking that they are born to exist to achieve it." Gilgamesh looked at me earnestly and said, "It's like the so-called religious fanaticism, the kind of deceptive exploitation of believers, which appears to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is completely empty and unstable at all. ”
