Type Moon: I, Mordred, Are So Filial

　　"How is Guinevere lately?"

　　Artoria asked worriedly.

　　She clearly knew that what she was doing was wrong - but when the front line was tight and the princes and kings in the back were eager to move, it seemed that they wanted to challenge her ruling authority.She could only strategically abandon Guinevere and devote all her attention to these tedious state affairs.

　　And for this question, the expression on Merlin's face was not very good-looking.

　　"not good."

　　Although knowing the answer might be a bit hurtful, Merlin, who didn't know what emotion was at all, decided to tell the truth.

　　"At noon today, she quarreled with Gareth - she even kicked them out of the palace, but it made Gareth angry for a long time."

　　"So I think it's more appropriate for you to come forward?"

　　Merlin suggested so.

　　In this regard, Artoria also nodded in agreement:

　　"Well, indeed."

　　"It is indeed a difficult job - and for Sir Gareth."

　　With a dignified face, Arturia put down the pen in her hand, intending to comfort the Knight of the Round Table who was loyal to her.

　　but--

　　"I'm not talking about Gareth!"

　　"I'm talking about Guinevere, your princess!"

　　Seeing Artoria's puzzled look, Merlin, who finally couldn't help it, shouted out loudly:

　　"Two months of marriage, but only one night of cohabitation - do you want to make Guinevere your enemy?".

Chapter 30

　　Perhaps because her conscience finally found out, Artoria readily accepted Merlin's suggestion.

　　At the same time, however, she does not intend to give up her claim.

　　"Before Guinevere... let me see Gareth first."

　　For Gareth, the only female knight in the Knights of the Round Table, Arturia has always praised her.

　　She didn't want Gareth to hate her, or Guinevere, for something like that.

　　"Merlin, can you help me find out, where is Gareth now?"

　　Arturia asked with a smile.

　　Merlin's ex-level clairvoyance may be very useless among the crown magicians.

　　Because it can neither see the past nor observe the future.

　　Merlin's clairvoyance could only see what was happening in front of him.

　　But if it is from the point of view of ordinary people, there may be no more convenient eyes in this world.

　　After all, compared to the fixed past and the unpredictable future with countless possibilities.What can still be grasped is now more realistic.

　　"Now she is at the gate of the palace, acting as the guard of the palace."

　　"Well, what a great loyalty!"

　　Merlin sighed.

　　seriously.

　　In his eyes, the knights of the round table who voluntarily followed behind Artoria were probably a bunch of fools, and their heads were all made of elm knots.

　　——Of course, excluding that righteous brother of Arturia, Kai.

　　"That guy who is completely dependent on nepotism is not even qualified to become a Knight of the Round Table."

　　Merlin muttered silently in his heart.

　　It can be seen that Merlin really has nothing to do with this man who is still more philosophical than him.

　　Arturia didn't have time to pay attention to Merlin's careful thoughts.

　　"Is it the door of the palace, I know."

　　She said very calmly, then stood up directly from her seat, and left the service room with great strides.

　　The perfect king, showing his resolute action all the time.

　　And after a moment.

　　When Artoria's figure appeared outside the palace and was discovered by Gareth——

　　"Ah, king!"

　　Gareth, who was still squatting on the ground just now, stood up immediately and tried to straighten his body.

　　At the same time, she secretly touched her eyes with the back of her hand, trying to cover her tears with soil.

　　She didn't want to be mistaken by Arturia for a knight who couldn't stand the test.

　　However, in the next moment.

　　As soon as Artoria opened her mouth, Gareth's heart, which had finally been calmed down, was immediately shattered by her.

　　"Sorry, Sir Gareth."

　　"It was I who arranged this task for you that should not have been your responsibility - it was all my fault."

　　The upright Artorias directly took all the blame on herself.

　　However, her behavior is not an invitation to buy people's hearts.

　　But because she really felt that way.

　　"Protecting Guinevere should have been my responsibility... I didn't fulfill my duty."

　　"It was my fault."

　　Arturia explained earnestly and issued a third apology to Gareth.

　　Gareth was flustered by the three apologies.

　　"No, Wang, please don't say that...I didn't take good care of the princess's emotions, and I made her annoyed."

　　She shook her hand in a panic, trying to defend Artoria's guilt.

　　But Artoria rarely interrupted Gareth's words and did not let her continue.

　　Because such an explanation has no meaning at all, it can only be a waste of saliva.

　　In contrast, today's Arturia actually has more important things to discuss with Gareth.

　　"Sir Gareth, do you still have contact with your mother?"

　　Arturia spoke abruptly and asked Gareth a question that was completely beyond her expectations.

　　Gareth's heart skipped a beat.

　　As Morgan's daughter, she knew of the irreconcilable conflict between her mother and Arturia.

　　She wasn't sure what kind of consideration Artoria was asking her about.

　　But out of loyalty to the king, Gareth didn't hide anything, and answered without hesitation:

　　"I haven't contacted my mother since I came here."

　　"What, did something happen to my mother again?"

　　"If so, please use my power without hesitation, King."

　　"For the sake of our righteousness, even if it is to be an enemy of my mother, I will not hesitate."

　　Gareth answered righteously.

　　Its just and awe-inspiring appearance, even Mordred, the filial son, would be ashamed to see it.

　　However, it is a little regrettable.

　　In the face of this constructive proposal, Arturia shook her head:

　　"No, things haven't gotten that bad yet."

　　"I just wanted to know, do you know any of your mother's other children?"

　　Arturia explained calmly.

　　Gareth was stunned for a moment.

　　Facing Arturia's answer, Gareth instinctively thought of his brothers.

　　The eldest brother Gao Wen, the second brother Gaharis, and the younger brother Age Gaiwen.

　　These are Morgan's children.

　　However, Gareth thought again—if it was these people, Artoria would also know the truth.

　　No need to ask about it at all.

　　"Could it be that--"

　　Thinking of this, Gareth, who already had a rough guess, slowly raised his head and cast a confirming look at Arturia.

　　And Arturia nodded without hesitation, confirming Gareth's guess:

　　"Yes."

　　"In addition to your four siblings, the fifth child."

　　"And among you, the most powerful child."

　　"I have fought against him and lost at his hands."

　　Facing Gareth, Arturia talked about her dark history without any cover.

　　There's nothing to be ashamed of admitting failure - on the contrary, in Artoria's mind, the act of deliberately covering up one's failure is the most shameful.
