The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

This was the speech Ian had prepared long ago.

But what he didn't expect was——

After he said this, King Liao Dekuan was stunned at first, and then showed an expression of disbelief.

"what are you saying……"

"My daughter Guinevere has been dead for a long time..."

683. Guinevere...died a long time ago? (4k)

"..."

"..."

As King Liao Dekuan finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene fell into extreme silence.

"no?"

Ian bit his lip and continued to ask after confirming that he had heard correctly.

"King Liao Dekuan, are you kidding me?"

"Guinevere...died a long time ago?"

"..."

After hearing what Ian said, King Liao Dekuan's expression became a little sad, as if he was thinking of something extremely sad.

After a while, he nodded.

"Well, that's right."

"My daughter, Guinevere, died a long time ago."

"I don't think there's any need for me to deceive you on this point."

"..."

King Liao Dekuan's tone was so sad that Ian couldn't deny that he was a father who had lost his daughter.

"It looks like you still can't believe it."

"so--"

King Liao Dekuan glanced at Ian and then at Altria.

"Come and take a look at my daughter's grave, and you'll know if what I said is true or not."

"..."

"..."

This is a question whose answer is almost certain to be known.

[But now, you and Altria have no other choice to do this - because this is completely beyond your expectations.]

You accepted King Liao Dekuan's "invitation."

[Under his guidance, you arrived at a garden in his territory.]

There are two tombstones, one large and one small.

You realize that this will be the saddest moment in King Liao Dekuan's life.

"arrive."

King Liao Dekuan, who was walking in front, said lightly.

"This is where Guinevere is buried—you may look about you."

"..."

With King Liao Dekuan's permission, Ian carefully inspected the place.

I saw that the one on the left was a larger tombstone, and the one on the right was a smaller tombstone.

From the traces on the monument, it can be seen that they have been here for some time.

But that doesn't mean they'll look bad.

On the contrary, despite being weathered, they are better preserved than many new tombstones.

Several bouquets of flowers were quietly placed there, looking like they had just been laid.

Obviously, this place was taken care of by King Liao Dekuan.

"You might be wondering why there are two tombstones here?"

As King Liao Dekuan spoke, he walked forward, then reached out and touched two tombstones, one large and one small.

"I'll tell you the truth."

"The one on the left is my wife;"

"And the one on the right is my daughter."

"..."

"..."

【King Liao Dekuan did not lie.】

[This is the fact that you and Altria have confirmed together at this moment.]

[After all, if he was trying to commit fraud, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of erecting a tombstone for his wife.]

[There is only one way this could happen—if his wife and daughter are truly dead.]

You realize that you seem to have inadvertently stepped on the most uncomfortable part of a man's heart.

"Feel sorry."

Ian immediately apologized with a chivalrous salute.

"Prince Liao Dekuan, I was reckless—I shouldn't have said those words just like that. I apologize."

"..."

Hearing this, King Liao Dekuan slowly turned around.

There was no anger or dissatisfaction on his face, only a calmness that showed he had accepted everything.

"It's fine."

"All these years have passed, and I've already been sad enough times to be sad—you can't possibly make me sad again."

"only……"

King Liao Dekuan frowned slightly, looking somewhat puzzled.

"You said before that our daughter was married to King Arthur?"

"What's going on? Can you tell me in detail?"

"..."

"..."

【You and Altria looked at each other.】

You both quickly agreed on your intentions—to tell King Liao Dekuan everything as accurately as possible.

【He is the only one who can make things clear at this moment. 】

You are sure that the information you "invest" in him will eventually give you and Altria more information you want to know.

You confessed as much as you could.

【But you only concealed Altria's gender.】

[Your intuition is telling you that this is not the right time.]

"what?"

King Liao Dekuan took a few steps back. Being over fifty years old, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Ian immediately reached out his hand to prevent the poor king from being embarrassed.

"No, how is that possible?"

King Liao Dekuan, who "escaped the disaster", shook his head, completely unable to believe what he heard.

"My daughter went to Camelot on her own and tried to kill King Arthur, but then she fell under his spell and married him on behalf of my country?"

"..."

As expected of a king, even with such a loss of composure, he still managed to sort out his thoughts quickly.

Ian nodded, confirming his statement.

"Yes, that's what happened."

"Then where is she now?"

King Liao Dekuan became a little anxious.

"I want to go see her!"

Prince Liao Dekuan's concern is not without reason.

[After all, this was her daughter appearing in a foreign country. If she didn't figure out what was going on, it would affect her reputation.]

[Even a dead person would never be able to tolerate such a thing! ]

You left the palace.

【You brought him to where Guinevere was resting.】

【King Liao Dekuan also met "Guinevere" because of this.】

At this moment, Ian finally understood what it meant to shed tears.

King Liao Dekuan, who was over fifty years old, actually started crying in front of the knight and Artoria.

Those are the simplest and most understandable tears.

he……

He actually "saw" his dead daughter.

"Weier...my Wei'er...if you weren't dead, you would be like this too..."

Listening to the extremely painful words spoken by King Liao Dekuan, Ian couldn't bear to disturb his meeting with his "daughter" at this time.

He and Artoria came to a slightly farther place in tacit understanding, giving King Liao Dekuan some time to vent his emotions alone.

"It seems that King Liao Dekuan did not lie to us."

Ian summed it up.

"The real Guinevere is indeed dead."

"Yeah." Altria nodded, indicating that she had no objection to Ian's idea.

But she also had her own doubts in her heart.

"If that's the case—"

“Who exactly are we meeting?”

"She is not the real 'Guinevere', yet King Liao Dekuan acknowledges her as 'Guinevere'..."

"How could this be?"

"I don't know either." Ian hugged Altria and held her in his arms.

"We'll talk about it later—at least let the poor guy have a good cry."

"……it is good."

The girl held in the man's arms didn't resist at all.

Or should I say——

She had actually been looking forward to such a hug.
