"What happened?" Kai's expression was still unhappy.

"You don't want to say that touching your head is how you sell apples, do you?"

"of course not!"

Artolis directly denied Kai's statement.

"What I want to say is that Mr. Ian is my savior."

[Kai was extremely surprised by this. 】

[Obviously, Artolis has never mentioned it before - probably for him, almost falling off the city wall because of excessive excitement is not a glorious thing. 】

[Kai confirmed the authenticity of this matter again and again. 】

[Artolis promises that he has never lied. 】

"..."

Although he did rescue Artoris on the city wall, Ian didn't really admit it in his heart.

He saved him;

But at the same time, I had the idea of ​​killing him before that;

Strictly speaking, this was just an attempted murder.

So Ian doesn't think of himself as a lifesaver - if I have to say it, he is more like a killer with a single thought and poor psychological quality.

"This--"

Kai's expression became extremely complicated.

"That's not quite right either, Artolis."

"Even if you are your savior, what you did just now was too intimate. If father knew about it, he would definitely blame you!"

"Then brother."

Artoris raised his head and looked directly at Kai in front of him.

"What do you think I should do? Is it possible to throw Mr. Ian's hand away? Or just tell him, 'You shouldn't put your hands on my head'?"

"Brother, if I do this, my father will blame me even more for my rudeness, right?"

"...It's true what you said."

Kai, who learned the unexpected truth, softened his tone slightly.

"But Artolis, the way you acted just now really made me feel that something was very wrong."

"Although I can understand that you have more or less thoughts in this regard at your age."

"But it's still not suitable for this kind of thing, right?"

[You noticed the word 'idea' mentioned in Kai's words. 】

[You realize that there may be secrets about Artolis that you don't know about. 】

"Brother, where are you thinking?"

Artolis was a little angry.

"What does 'I'm not suitable for this kind of thing' mean?"

"Artolis, don't be impatient with me." Kai was not afraid of Artolis' anger at all. "You know what this is about better than I do."

"You should know how your father wants to train you!"

"He taught you swordsmanship and etiquette to make you more suitable for the development of a knight!"

"You should know if..."

Kai glanced at Artoris and hesitated to speak.

Artolis was silent for a while, then spoke again:

"Brother...I understand what you mean, and I also know that you care about me."

"But within the scope of what I can do and control, I think I should have the power to choose, right?"

"You!" Kai was a little anxious, "Artolis! It's wrong for you to think like this!"

"Isn't that right? I have to wait until I practice it myself."

Artolis turned around.

"I have my own way of solving problems."

"See you later, brother."

"I have to go back to see Mr. Ian."

[Hearing what Artolis said, you realized that you had to rush back first. 】

[But before that, you noticed that Kai was still worried about his brother. 】

[You know he will be secretly watching you and Artolis later. 】

[It’s just that you have other things you care about more than this. 】

[There seems to be a bigger secret hidden in Artolis. 】

[You realize that you may have to get in touch with Artoris once again, in every sense of the word. 】

44. Artoris and the Horse

[You returned to the place where the knights were resting one step ahead of Artolis. 】

[He didn’t notice anything unusual about you and greeted you. 】

"Mr. Ian!"

"Oh... Artolis, are you back?" Ian started chatting as if nothing happened.

"How's it going? You weren't scolded by your brother, were you?"

"Well..." Artolis looked slightly embarrassed, "It's nothing. My brother is a very good person. He won't blame others casually."

Although I did have some minor unpleasantness with Kai just now.

But in front of outsiders.Artolis is still very protective of his family.

Ian can completely understand this behavior - it's like King Uther didn't want Morgan to inherit the throne, but he still retained the last dignity for her in front of the soldiers.

The exiled princess and the princess guarding Camelot are two completely different concepts.

but--

Ian observed the surroundings calmly, and soon noticed Kai hiding aside.

Just like what was guessed before.

Despite the quarrel with Artoris, Kai still cared about him.

It's inconvenient to ask anything if you're being stared at like this all the time - you have to get rid of Kai first.

After thinking for a while, Ian had an idea.

"Well, indeed, although your brother seems a little impatient, he must care about you."

"Even now, he is still guarding you every step of the way."

Artolis is not stupid.

When Ian said this, he immediately realized something.

He turned back following Ian's line of sight, and then saw Kai not far away.

"Mr. Ian, please wait for me."

[Artolis stands up. 】

[As Artoris stood up, there was also the stupid hair on the top of his head that could not be suppressed no matter how hard he pressed it. 】

[You watched him come to Kai, holding his hands on his back and arguing with his brother. 】

[Kai seemed to realize that he was in the wrong, and finally had no choice but to compromise and leave. 】

[Artolis has returned to you again. 】

"Why did he leave?" Ian asked knowingly.

"You must be angry, right?"

"No." Artolis calmed down his emotions slightly, "He had unfinished things to do, and now he just goes back to continue doing them."

"Is that so..."

Ian smiled slightly.

"But having said that, the way you debated just now was really impressive."

"I've never seen you like that before."

"This!" Artolis's face turned red, "Mr. Ian, I didn't mean to hide that look in front of you!"

"Don't be nervous."

Ian touched Artolis' head.

"I didn't say you hid it on purpose."

"It's just that I think this kind of character is what you should have."

"What should I have?" Artolis was a little confused.

"Yes." Ian nodded, "People who practice swordsmanship should be more or less tough."

"Is that right?"

Artolis did not deny what Ian said.

It can be seen that he agrees with this sentence more or less.

However, just when Ian was about to continue saying something, he felt that familiar sight appear again.

[Kai is back again. 】

[But this time, he learned a lot smarter - he knew how to use chatting with others as a cover. 】

[But for you, this disguise is really meaningless. 】

[But you also realize that there is no point in letting Artolis blame his brother like this - it will not drive him away. 】

[You know you have to use some means. 】

"Artolis."

"What, what's wrong? Mr. Ian."

"Would you like to try riding a horse?"

"horse riding?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "This time, I went out on a horse."

There was a hint of light in Artolis's green pupils.

"Is this really possible?"

"of course."

"Then Mr. Ian, please!"

"Well, come with me."

[You have a valid reason. 】

[You hold Artolis’s hand and walk out. 】
