[In the next few minutes, you told Artoria that Morgan wanted to recall you from King Liao Dekuan's territory.]

You'd have thought she might have had a slightly more emotional reaction.

[But what you didn't expect was that her reaction wasn't overly excited, but rather she seemed worried.]

"Wait a moment."

Altria stopped Ian from speaking.

"According to what you said, has your sister been urging you to go back?"

"You didn't go back because of me..."

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Ian still did not distort the facts.

He shook his head and then replied:

"Do not."

"In fact, apart from this one time, she had no intention of asking me to go back."

"Is it because of me too?" Altria asked cautiously.

"..."

"I guess so." The man gave his response after a brief silence.

"..."

"..."

Realizing that this would make Ian feel a little embarrassed, Altria quietly changed the conversation to the next topic.

"I understand."

"In that case——"

"Let's go back and take a look at Camelot."

"Lily." Ian felt a little guilty knowing that the other party answered so directly because of him.

"Do you... really want to go back?"

"It doesn't matter whether you want to or not." Artoria picked up the basin full of clothes, looking like a simple country girl.

"I just don't want to be a burden to you."

"And where is life not life? You are... that's enough."

[You and Altria finally reached a consensus.]

[That means returning to Camelot according to Morgan's "arrangement."]

【But before that──】

[You and Altria both realize that there are still many things that need to be dealt with.]

【For example, Guinevere, and Mordred. 】

【And the first person you chose to communicate with was Mordred.】

One afternoon.

Mordred had just finished his sword practice and was enjoying his "reward".

"Hehehe~ It's delicious~"

The little guy made a series of crackling noises while chewing something.

Ian and Altria both smiled when they saw how voraciously Mordred was eating.

"Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for it." The man spoke first as a father.

But what he didn't expect was that Mordred rejected this kind of thing almost without hesitation.

"no!"

"No? Why not!"

"because--"

Mordred looked up at his father Ian with a trace of regret and said very frankly.

"If I eat too slowly, won't I be able to finish Dad's leftover portion?"

"Hey, you!"

Faced with Mordred's extremely straightforward "declaration of plunder", Ian felt both amused and angry.

"You little thing, you shouldn't eat when your dad is here, right?"

"certainly not!"

"Because eating can help me grow faster." Mordred looked at his father Ian without fear. "In that case, you wouldn't have to continue to teach me so tiredly."

"..."

Ian was speechless for a moment.

For a moment he didn't know how to respond to Mordred's straightforward daughterly love.

after all--

Due to his status as the chief knight of the Round Table, the children in Camelot would be more or less cautious when talking to him.

This is indeed the first time someone like Mordred has been so straightforward.

But what to say...

It's a really good feeling.

"Then you have to eat well."

Artoria brought her portion to Mordred.

"Eat Mom's portion—Dad works so hard, we can't take any more of his food."

"No, I don't want Mom's!"

"Why?" Altria frowned slightly.

She never thought that Mordred would reject her.

"Because Dad loves you very much—" Mordred stretched out his little finger and pointed at Ian beside him.

"Dad will be very angry if I take Mom's portion."

"..."

"..."

"I'm really impressed by you, little thing." Ian said, holding his forehead.

"Hehe~"

Mordred wiped his nose.

“But I’m really serious!”

"Yes, I know." Artoria nodded with a smile, and then held Mordred on her lap.

"But Mom wants to ask you something now."

"..."

Knowing that Altria was definitely going to bring up the matter of returning to Camelot, Ian couldn't help but feel a little more nervous.

after all……

If Mordred is unwilling to return to Camelot, it will actually be a very troublesome thing.

but--

However, the situation did not develop at all as the man had worried.

Almost on the contrary, the knight and the king got the answer they most wanted.

"Eh?!"

"Camelot, is that my mother's hometown?"

Mordred blinked his eyes, which were almost identical to Altria's, and asked with great curiosity.

"home……"

Ian glanced at Altria, and then gave an affirmative answer when she nodded in agreement.

"Well, it is."

"Then I want to go back!"

A very direct answer, without the slightest hesitation.

Mordred gave his parents the answer they wanted so unexpectedly that they had no idea it would be like this.

"Really, Mordred, you're not trying to make us happy?" Ian asked.

"no!"

Mordred looked at his father Ian, then at Altria, and shook his head.

"That's where Mom and Dad fell in love with each other, right? I have to see it then!"

"Otherwise... I always feel like I'm missing out on something interesting."

"Dad, Mom!"

"You'll take me on a tour of Camelot, right?!"

"This……"

Ian couldn't give an accurate answer.

Or rather, he didn't have the confidence to do this - after all, no one knew whether Morgan would want him to do something else after returning.

It’s better not to make unrealistic expectations casually, right?

However, something unexpected happened again.

After hearing what Mordred said, Altria actually nodded directly.

She leaned over to her daughter's ear and whispered;

"OK."

"If you want to see it—then Mommy will take you to see it."

"Okay~"

Seeing Mordred cheering, Ian felt a little uneasy, but his responsibility as a "husband" prevented him from saying anything more to Altria.

But the girl answered as if she had already guessed what the man was worried about.

"Don't worry."

"I'll do it all by myself—so, uh, you don't have to worry."

"..."

Hearing what Altria said, Ian took her hand.

"Do not."

"If that time ever comes, let's go together."

【all in all--】

You thought Mordred, who you thought would take a lot of time to "solve," didn't turn out to be much of a problem.

【So……】

【The only one left is Guinevere.】

【However, this time. 】

【But she didn't give the answer you and Altria expected.】
