Artoria wants to read people's hearts

A surprised voice came from Guinevere's direction.

Seeing the girl trotting towards her, Artoria felt a little helpless.

"Gui'an, Your Royal Highness, it is an honor to meet you here."

Speaking those social words quickly, Artoria thought that if she had known you were here, I would have gone to the garden to see the flowers today.

"Gui'an, Your Majesty, are you also coming here to read?"

The little girl who came to him spoke words like pearls, her voice was soft and clear, it was extremely pleasant to hear.

Under Guinevere's long and slightly curled eyelashes, there is a pair of clear eyes like morning dew.

At this moment, she opened her beautiful sapphire-like eyes and looked at the young king in front of her with a smile.

"........."

The girl's beauty dazzled King Arthur's eyes, and Artoria couldn't help but straighten her figure, and replied with a loud voice.

"Yes, that's right! I'm here to read."

"That's great."

Hearing Arturia's answer, Guinevere couldn't help but smile and frowned.

The little princess's eyes blinked a few times with the grace of a butterfly fluttering its wings, accompanied by a gentle smile like a crescent moon.

She extended an invitation to Arturia.

"Your Majesty, let's go in together."

This is a dimensionality reduction blow, no one can refuse Guinevere at this time, no one!

The sunlight that was blown clean by the wind fell into those bright eyes.

Artoria, dressed in men's clothing, looked into those eyes and finally made a compromise.

"Well, let's go in together."

They walked into the library together side by side, looking at Guinevere's fair side face.

She convinced herself so in her heart.

I, Artoria, am an honest and good knight, how can I live up to the expectations of a lady.

......Definitely not because of beauty.

Absolutely not!

--------------------

The library is very quiet, and occasionally a few people can be seen silently reading books in their hands near different bookshelves.

When they saw the distinguished princess and King Arthur, they just bowed slightly to pay tribute.

No one stepped forward to disturb her, and this atmosphere made Arturia feel very comfortable.

She turned her head and asked Guinevere next to her softly.

"I wonder what kind of books Her Royal Highness wants to find?"

"I like those adventure stories very much, so I want to find some adventure biographies to borrow."

Speaking of this, Guinevere blushed slightly as if embarrassed.

"Maybe it's because I have never been out of the palace. I always feel like I have experienced those things myself when I read the words in the book."

After finishing speaking, Guinevere looked up at Artoria with some embarrassment and stopped talking.

Although the eye contact between the two was only for a short moment, Arturia suddenly felt dizzy and flaky, as if she was drunk.

As if driven by an inexplicable impulse, she heard herself say:

"Actually, I also traveled in Britain in my early years. If Her Royal Highness is interested, I can tell you about those things."

Hearing this, Guinevere's eyes showed stars, and a smile as bright as nectar rose on his face.

"Please tell me, I am very interested!"

---------what.

'There must be something wrong with my head. '

Artoria thought so in her heart, otherwise how could she say such a thing.

but........

Looking at the girl's smile like a white orchid, and the joy and expectation on her face.

Arturia couldn't help jumping up with joy at this situation.

never mind.........

Anyway, everyone is very happy now, so that's fine, what are you thinking about so much.

So, in the warm jade-like light of the afternoon.

In the quiet library, following Artoria's shallow words, scenes of stories unfolded in Guinevere's heart.

At this time, the years are quiet.

Chapter No.16 Running and Negotiating

Can't go on like this!

Beauty is misleading! !

Arturia, who could have stayed in the Scottish royal palace for a few more days, submitted her farewell to the Scottish king the next day after careful consideration (not).

Yes, she is going to run away.

Since I can't afford to mess with it, then I'll just hide.

Guinevere's lethality is really too great.

That kind of breathtaking beauty can almost be called a Noble Phantasm level.

Arturia was really afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she would be attacked by Guinevere.

This can't be done, absolutely not!

So, while the King of Scotland was extremely puzzled and tried to persuade him to stay, Arturia fled away in a desperate refusal.

With the sound of kicking and kicking horseshoes, she and her guards left the palace just like that.

Turning her head to look at the Scottish capital that she was gradually leaving behind, Artoria finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but also felt a little sad.

After all, after this farewell, maybe we will never see each other again.

But this is actually good, maybe without the existence of King Arthur, that girl can find her own happiness in this life.

With a bit of sadness, Arturia turned around and resolutely returned to her own 'world'.

After leaving these days of dreamlike wind, flowers, snow and moon, she will once again devote herself to busy official duties and wars.

Back to the time, the card is actually just right.

At this time, the British army had won a victory with the Scottish army during her absence.

Although there were some casualties among the soldiers in the army, the morale of the British and Scottish armies is still high because of the severe defeat of Ireland.

In order for the two armies to carry out strategic cooperation in a timely manner, at this time the British army had left the small town near the border and moved to the Scottish army to station.

Arriving at the barracks, Artoria handed over her horse to the care of the personal guards, and turned to look at the knights who came to meet her.

"During the time I was gone, the three of you not only won battles, but also took care of all kinds of military affairs in an orderly manner." She let out a long sigh, and said with a faint smile of relief, "Thank you for your hard work, and you have lived up to it." My trust in you."

The king's praise and acknowledgment excited the three knights.

They looked at each other excitedly, then knelt on one knee and said with some joy.

"Thank you for your trust, the subordinate is fortunate to fulfill his mission."

"Hurry up and get up." Arturia stepped forward and stretched out her hands to help them up, and said with a faint smile on her face.

"Stop standing outside, let's go inside and talk in detail,"

After entering the house, Arturia sat in the upper seat and asked them to report to her every detail of what had happened since she left.

Although Arturia only left the British army for a while, even with the presence of magic, the transmission of the news was still somewhat delayed.

War is a big event, and no matter when and where, she must not be careless, so she must be well aware of the latest situation.

"Has there been any news from Ireland lately?"

Artoria sat at the table with her hands crossed under her chin, and asked the knights in front of her with a serious tone with a hint of majesty.

"Recently, due to the previous setbacks in the war, Ireland temporarily stopped its offensive against Scotland,"

"only......."

Lancelot paused, he frowned and hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to say something.

His expression was really conspicuous, and Artoria couldn't help raising her eyes to look at the French-born knight.

Wearing a silver knight armor, a young man with long dark purple hair was standing by the window at this time, his slender figure looked even more handsome against the sunlight.

In the past, the smile on his face always made people feel gentle and gentle, but now he has a calm face, and there is a little concern in the pair of purple eyes that are the same color as his hair.

"Say it straight, Sir Lancelot."

Artoria stood up and walked in front of him, then patted Lancelot's shoulder with her hand, her green eyes revealed encouragement.

"You are a knight I trust, not to mention your talent is obvious to all."

Having said that, a gratified smile appeared on her face, and then she continued to elaborate in a serious tone:

"So please speak out your opinion, Sir Lancelot, I need your opinion."

King Arthur's words made Lancelot put aside his last hesitation, and the handsome purple-haired youth took a deep breath.

Under Artoria's gentle gaze, she slowly opened her mouth to explain her views on the current Irish army.

"I always feel a little strange, the actions of the Irish army reveal a little strange."

"According to the information obtained in front of Scotland, there has been no movement from the Irish barracks. But in fact, I led a ten-man team to inquire about the enemy's intelligence in the dark yesterday, but found the enemy There seems to be something wrong with the number of tents in the barracks, and they seem to have increased in number."

Speaking of this, Lancelot pursed his lips, and then explained with some hesitation: "According to the information obtained before, Ireland has a total of more than [-] troops this time, and they are divided into three fronts to invade Scotland. The military strength assigned to our front is only eleven thousand.

Coupled with the defeat of Ireland some time ago, according to our statistics, they probably lost less than [-] troops. Logically speaking, they shouldn't..."

"...There shouldn't be so many camps. Lancelot, is that what you mean?"

Gawain, who had been silently listening to the side all the time, suddenly opened his mouth to add. "If it's what you say, Lancelot, then there is something unusual in Ireland."

"Yes, I believe Lancelot is not lying."

Kai, who was on the side, also expressed his views.

"There may be some kind of conspiracy in Ireland. It's better to investigate this, al... er,... my king."

Almost calling King Arthur by his first name, Kai blinked a little embarrassedly, laughed dryly, and tried hard to cover up the embarrassment on his face with a smile.

Hearing Al's long-lost title, Artoria couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

It feels like it's been a long time since I heard my brother-in-law call my name so affectionately.

Shaking her head, Arturia cast aside her sudden melancholy and emotion.

There are more important things to do now, but I don't have time to let myself be sentimental.

She pulled her divergent thinking back on track, and cast her wandering eyes on the three knights present.

At this moment, they looked at themselves seriously, and were quietly waiting for her to make a decision on this matter.

"Um......."

Artoria stood there, frowning, and after pondering for a moment with her right hand on her lips, she quickly made a decision:

"I believe in Sir Lancelot, and this matter should indeed be taken seriously as everyone said."

"Then do it."

Arturia walked back to the table and sat down, turned her head and said to Lancelot and Kai:
