Artoria wants to read people's hearts

After that, she walked in front of the white-haired young man in three steps.

"Mr. Rick!"

The girl's voice was a little anxious and fighting, making the listener feel that the other party was not as fine as she said.

"Excuse me, the Guinevere you just mentioned, can you tell me more about her?"

Artoria spoke urgently, "For example, her, her black hair, and are her eyes blue?"

"?!!"

Rick's eyes widened in surprise, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face involuntarily.

"Miss Pendragon, how do you know? I don't remember saying these things?"

Although he used rhetorical questions, it can be seen from the attitude in the words that what Artoria said was correct.

This fact made her even more emotional in an instant.

But the more so, the more Artoria restrained herself.

She took a step back, took two deep breaths, and began to compulsively calm down her emotions.

"...I'm sorry, Mr. Rick, my behavior just now was really a bit abrupt."

She first apologized to the white-haired young man, and after that, she explained cautiously, suppressing her excitement.

"The Guinevere you mentioned has the same name as a person I once knew, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I lost my composure for a while."

Having said that, she apologized to Rick again, "I'm sorry for my previous performance, I hope I didn't scare you just now."

After listening to the explanation, a flash of clarity flashed in Rick's eyes.

"So that's the case." He nodded, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "I don't blame you, Miss Pendragon, after all, it's normal to meet an old friend in a foreign land, and it's normal for a moment to be difficult."

"But..." the white-haired young man sighed, "...I really never thought that you and Guinevere had known each other before."

"But this can also explain one thing, that is why I think you are somewhat similar to Guinevere."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and his purple eyes fell on the blond girl. "To be honest, I'm a little curious. I wonder if Pendragon can answer my doubts?"

"......"

After a brief silence, it was the voice of the girl who nodded slightly in agreement.

"Mr. Rick, I don't know what you want to ask?"

"It's like this." He first explained a few words, "Guinevere was a traveler I met in a wasteland three months ago, and she was alone at the time, so I, with the mentality of being a fellow human being, I opened my mouth and invited her to join my stronghold."

"However, after she joined, I discovered her knowledge and skills, each of which was enough to surprise me."

As he spoke, he sighed again.

"I have to say that my choice of bringing her back to the stronghold was really wise."

Arturia listened carefully, and when she heard the other party praise Guinevere, her lake-colored eyes showed a proud color of pride.

"Of course." Her chuckling voice fell into Rick's ears, "Guinevere is a very powerful girl."

As if remembering something, that delicate and beautiful face showed an extraordinarily gentle expression, "...a long time ago, she helped me a lot."

Hornby and the others couldn't help feeling a little unbelievable that they had never seen their leader show such an expression.

"It seems that you have a good relationship."

"Yes, very good!" Artoria replied with a resounding voice, especially emphasizing the word 'very'.

And this appearance made Rick couldn't help laughing, "Then it seems that I don't need to ask any more questions."

He bent his lips and blurted out his original thoughts.

"At first, I wanted to ask what kind of relationship you have, but now it seems that you are definitely very good friends, right?"

As he said that, he scratched his cheek embarrassingly, "I'm really sorry, after all, Guinevere is in my stronghold now, and as the leader, I always have to be responsible for her safety."

When the white-haired youth said this, a very soft smile appeared on his face.

And this sentence also moved Artoria's eyes.

"There is no need to apologize for me. To be precise, it makes me very happy that you can be so vigilant."

She nodded and praised earnestly, "Mr. Rick, you are a truly respectable leader."

"But——" she suddenly changed the subject, and looked up at the white-haired young man in front of her who was a little embarrassed because of being praised, "—you guessed wrong, Guinevere and I are not friends relation."

"???"

Doubtful question marks appeared above everyone's heads.

What does it mean?

Not friends, do you mean that you are sisters?

Just when they were puzzled, Artoria answered their doubts in the next second.

It's just that this answer... made them even more confused.

"Guinevere and I are husband and wife, that is to say, we are lovers."

When the blond girl said this, her expression was extremely serious, but if you look carefully, you can see the lingering friendship in her eyes.

The gentleness that radiated from the inside out made everyone present stunned on the spot.

Oh my God, is it true what she said? !

Just when everyone was dumbfounded, Artoria lowered her eyelashes and pursed her lips.

"Mr. Rick, it seems that we will meet again soon." She paused, and then added to this sentence, "Once I go back, I will leave immediately to go to your place."

"In this regard, I hope you don't feel rushed." As she spoke, her slightly frowning brows gradually loosened, and there was a sparkle in her eyes, "It's all because, I really can't wait."

Chapter 18 King and Queen ([-] in [-])

The location of the stronghold led by Rick is actually located in a hollow mountain like Artoria's stronghold.

In order to prevent being discovered by other races, they tightly blocked the passages with four turns, leaving only a few entrances and exits and emergency passages for retreat.

But no matter which entrance or exit, its location and appearance are unusually hidden.

Artoria followed behind Rick, looking up at the surrounding mountain walls.

It was the third day after that exploration.

After Arturia went back that day, she first handed over the newly obtained map and information to the former leader, Mr. Warren, in detail.

And told him that he was going on a long trip, and it might take two or three days before he could come back.

Warren didn't understand very much at first, but under Artoria's explanation, he suddenly felt the shock of being reshaped in his heart just like Hornby and the others.

It can even be said that this matter and the map and information are already heavy news of the same level.

Fortunately, he is a person who has seen the big world, so after being stunned for 3 minutes, he finally digested this matter.

Today's young people really are incredible.

While feeling emotional, Warren waved his hand to indicate that the other party can leave with peace of mind, saying that he is taking care of everything here.

To sum up, Artoria actually hasn't stayed for a few days since she went back.

After explaining all the complicated things, she ran to Rick without stopping.

Following behind Rick, they took a few more detours, and then their eyes suddenly became clear.

It has to be said that the large stronghold with thousands of people is different from their small stronghold with less than 100 people.

Look at the scale, and then look at the houses that stand upright.

The two followers behind Arturia couldn't help showing the look of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Looking at the several baskets of fruit piled up not far away, Hornby swallowed involuntarily.

God knows how miserable it is, he hasn't eaten fresh fruits and vegetables for more than a month.

but..........

Glancing quietly at his own leader who was walking in front, admiration rose again in his heart.

As expected of the leader, he obviously hasn't eaten fruit a few times like himself, but he still behaves so calmly on the surface.

That being the case, I can't embarrass the leader.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to pull Raffle who felt like drooling, and then gave him a sneaky warning look.

Raffle, the former Comrade Pocky Face.

After being stared at, he smiled embarrassingly and touched the back of his head. He quickly straightened his face and made a gesture of looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

If you don't look carefully, it seems to be quite similar to that.

Seeing this, Hornby nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head and continued to follow the pace of his leader.

But he didn't know that the blond girl who originally thought she was just acting like he didn't care, but in fact, the most real thought in his heart was that he really didn't care.

after all.......

King Arthur of Britain has seen too many things.

The word well-informed is not too much when applied to her.

Ever since Artoria came in, her eyes have been anxiously scanning everyone passing by nearby.

With a sense of tension that she didn't even realize, the hands hanging on both sides subconsciously clenched into fists.

Unfortunately, she looked around for a long time but couldn't find the black-haired girl she wanted to find.

Opening her mouth, Arturia was about to ask Rick in front of her, but a gentle and familiar voice suddenly came from her ear.

Just like the warmest call of summer, it melted the long coldness of her whole winter.

The voice called to her: "~Al?"

Then she turned her head suddenly, and Artoria's eyes instantly reflected the figure of the black-haired girl.

In a daze, she stood where she was.

Before that, she had fantasized about thousands of reunions in her mind.

She originally thought that she was ready, but now, when she saw the person she loved again, Arturia suddenly realized that she was not ready.

At this moment, she is already defeated.

The queen of Britain only said the word 'Al', but the king had already lost his original composure.

"Guinevere." The young knight's voice was no longer as clear as before, as if it had been honed by sand, and she watched her wife walk in front of her.

"Al, it really is you."

Whispering like a feather, the black-haired girl's eyes seemed to have sparkle.

With the softest smile on her lips, she sent herself into her husband's arms.

Suddenly it was like a dream, in the dream, the tea was fragrant in the window, and the two were together, she called her name, gently, like a cat crawling over the eaves.

So Artoria followed her heart, stretched out her arms, and embraced his wife.

At this moment, whether it is the king or the queen, they both feel that the empty space in their hearts has been filled by the other party.

Artoria sighed contentedly, and those heroic eyebrows and eyes could not help softening into the warmest spring breeze.

"Gui Ni, I really miss you."

Rubbing her cheek against the other's ear, she narrowed her eyes, feeling only tenderness and joy in her heart at the moment, she whispered to the girl, "No matter how many times, King Arthur will always be dazzled by her queen."

These words made Guinevere's delicate and flawless face red like the most beautiful sunset in the sky.

The icy blue eyes were bent into crescent moons, and at this moment, all her uneasiness was caused by the light of the other party, and a faint halo of light rose.

"Me too..." The black-haired girl lowered her eyelashes to cover her shy pupils, "My king, I too... will always be dazzled by you."

Then, as if full of joy blooming along the way, Artoria couldn't help but bury her cheek in his wife's hair and chuckled softly.

Really...she is so cute.

She really wants to kiss her long-lost lover now, but......

With a helpless sigh in her heart, she turned her head to look at Rick and the others who were standing aside with embarrassing faces.
