The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

It looks a lot like something a couple would do, doesn't it?

[King Liao Dekuan indeed still possesses the bearing of a king.]

[So even after facing this 'meeting' that completely hit a sore spot, he recovered after venting for a while.]

【He took the initiative to return to you.】

You can sense that he has something to say.

"thank you all."

King Liao Dekuan’s thanks came.

"I never dreamed that I would see my daughter again one day."

"..."

After a moment's silence, Ian finally spoke.

"King Liao Dekuan, may I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

King Liao Dekuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"While I can still control myself, ask more questions you want to know."

"That--"

Ian glanced at Guinevere who was still sleeping in bed, his expression a little complicated.

"From your tone, it seems like your daughter left you a long time ago."

"It can't be said to be too long."

King Liao Dekuan's tone sounded a little lonely.

“It was about five or six years ago.”

"..."

Five or six years ago?

Ian pondered Guinevere's appearance for a moment, and then suddenly understood why the tombstones were one big and one small.

The real Guinevere probably left King Liao Dekuan when she was still a young girl.

"I see."

"That……"

Seeing that Ian was still hesitant, King Liao Dekuan continued.

"Don't hesitate any longer—just ask any questions you have. You need my answers, and I need your questions, don't I?"

"Then I want to know one thing."

Ian looked at King Liao Dekuan in front of him and became much more serious.

"What exactly happened in this country when 'Guinevere' appeared in Camelot?"

This is a very core issue.

[Because you understand that Guinevere would never appear in Camelot for no reason.]

If we could find out what happened in King Liao Dekuan's territory during that time, we might be able to understand everything.

"..."

Because of Ian's words, King Liao Dekuan fell into deep thought.

He was probably thinking seriously about the time periods involved in Ian's question.

After a while, the old man, who was over fifty years old, slowly spoke:

"If that's the case—"

"Probably when we were celebrating King Arthur slaying the white dragon."

"..."

"..."

As participants in that battle, Ian and Altria naturally had not expected this answer.

But after careful consideration, you will find that this is an answer that completely matches the time.

Could it be that after Artoria killed the white dragon Vortigern with the Rhongomyniad, "Guinevere" was born?

She never returned to King Liao Dekuan's territory, so the people of this land had no idea that their princess had gotten married.

If we explain it this way, even the fact that King Liao Dekuan did not offer a gift can be explained.

and many more……

But in this case, the reaction of the people in this country is not right, right?

Since "Guinevere" has never returned to this country, and the real "Guinevere" has been dead for many years...

Then why wasn’t their answer a simple and clear “The princess is dead”?

Perhaps he thought of what Ian was wondering about, or perhaps he originally intended to use this as a reward for Ian's confession, so King Liao Dekuan further explained before the man could think everything through.

"To be honest—"

"For the peace of mind of the people in this country, I did not disclose the news of my daughter's death to the public."

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Ian roughly understood the reason.

"King Liao Dekuan, are you worried that the news of Guinevere's death will cause chaos in the country now that your wife has passed away?"

This is not difficult to understand.

The king needs offspring.

Given that the king's wife had passed away and he had also lost his only child, it is easy to imagine how huge a succession storm this situation would trigger.

It would be much better to keep everything secret.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

"Because of this—I hid my daughter's tombstone with magic."

"You guys..."

King Liao Dekuan looked at Ian and Altria in front of him.

"They should be the only two people who can see it."

King Liao Dekuan spoke so frankly that Ian couldn't help but think more about him.

"You can't possibly let her stay away forever, right? And after this, your kingdom will need someone to rule, right?"

"I have already thought about ruling."

King Liao Dekuan, with his hair covered in snow-white hair, sighed deeply.

"If King Arthur can slay the evil white dragon, then he can surely bring this magical kingdom to a more prosperous place."

"You want to give the country to King Arthur?"

"Yes."

King Liao Dekuan nodded.

"I no longer have any aspirations in this life—I only hope that these people who have always supported me and never betrayed me during the desperate situation of being surrounded by the White Dragon and his minions can have a bright future."

"I can't do it, so I'll leave everything to the established king."

"He...can definitely do it."

Hearing King Liao Dekuan's words, Ian subconsciously looked at Altria.

What caught the man's eyes was a girl who felt a sense of responsibility.

Altria is always like this, taking all the responsibilities on herself.

The knight couldn't help but feel a little more caring for her, and the hand he held with her was a little more gentle.

but--

King Liao Dekuan’s words did not end there.

"Although this may seem a bit unreasonable and a bit ungrateful..."

"but……"

"if you can……"

King Liao Dekuan's voice began to tremble.

"Can I ask you——"

"Can you please help me save the girl who looks like my daughter?"

684. Lily and Ian's Friendship Performance/Guinevere is Guinevere (4k)

It was an unsurprising request, and Ian even felt it was a little late.

There is no such thing as a father who can remain unresponsive after listening to what I have said.

only--

He wanted to know what means King Liao Dekuan had to save this person who had been "diagnosed" by the fairy in the lake as being at the end of his life.

King Liao Dekuan was well aware of this, so he quickly explained it.

“If a candle has burned out, as long as you use it to light another candle before it completely goes out, the burning candle can still be maintained.”

"After all—she simply ran out of 'lifespan'. If there were some way to give her more 'lifespan', then there would be no such thing as death, right?"

"..."

This sentence was not difficult to understand, and Ian quickly understood it.

"You mean... let's bring more 'life' to her?"

"Yes." King Liao Dekuan nodded.

"Honestly, this is something I shouldn't have asked you to do."

"but--"

King Liao Dekuan looked at his hands and saw wrinkles all over them.

That is a sign of advanced age, and in a sense, it is somewhat similar to King Uther.

"I don't know when I will leave this world - I'm afraid I won't be able to give her enough support, so I can only ask you for help."

"of course."

King Liao Dekuan looked at the two people in front of him.

"I know this is a bit unreasonable."

"So even if you don't agree to my request, I won't complain. But before you answer me or reject me, please allow me, as the master of this land, to entertain you properly."

[You two's contact with King Liao Dekuan has come to a temporary end.]

[You were pleasantly surprised to learn that he seemed to have some means to extend Guinevere's lifespan.]

【only--】

[Such a method seems to carry a considerable degree of risk.]

King Liao Dekuan is very kind. He never used morality as an excuse to force you to save Guinevere.

[But you know, neither you nor Altria can reject it without any emotion.]

[You two tacitly avoided this question for the time being.]

[Thanks to King Liao Dekuan's "care," you successfully bought a lot of delicious-looking food in this magical kingdom.]

[And when you return to where "Guinevere" is, she has already woken up.]
