"For example, these seeds will soon be revived by my magic."
"One more reminder—"
Merlin looked at Ian.
"You seem to have forgotten something very important."
"Something very important?"
"Yes." Merlin nodded.
"You may indeed be able to do better in various ways than the chosen ones."
"But don't forget, no one can kill Vortigern except her."
"Are you referring to the legend of the Red Dragon?"
Ian looked at the other man.
"But that was obviously just a rumor you created on purpose, right?"
"No." Merlin shook his head.
"I don't have the energy to do so much just to create so-called rumors."
"She has long been destined to defeat Vortigern - to do this she needs to undergo various trainings, discard meaningless emotions, and eventually become a perfect king."
[Merlin's words awakened you.]
[You finally understand why Artorius changed so much before and after he drew his sword. ]
【All of this was arranged by Merlin.】
[To be more precise, it was arranged by Merlin and King Uther.]
"Does she know about this?"
"I know." Merlin answered calmly, "But whether she knows it or not, she has to accept it."
"After all, no matter what her answer was, there was no other choice."
"Does the former king know that you did this?"
"What do you think?" Merlin asked back.
"..."
Even though he was completely opposite to Artorius, Ian couldn't help but retort.
"You are depriving her of what she should have at her age."
"So? Do you think it's right to give up on defeating Vortigern?"
Merlin still had that frivolous smile on his face.
"I don't mind, but are you willing to see this happen?"
"Eh...think about the ruined Britain or something--"
"Since she is willing to take on such a responsibility, it is only natural that she has to sacrifice something, right?"
Merlin had just finished speaking when Ian punched him hard in the face.
Blood flew out from the corner of his mouth and splashed on the ground beside him.
Merlin turned around and saw Ian looking furious.
"Asshole! What are you talking about?!"
"Is this the kind of comment you should make?!"
"But--"
Merlin's expression remained unchanged.
"These are established facts. She has already given up these emotions. No matter how powerful your fists are, you can't change this."
"..."
Ian clenched his fists.
But he soon thought of something else.
"Are you sure she has given up all her emotions?"
"if not?"
"No, Merlin, you're wrong." Ian turned away, "She hasn't completely given up these feelings."
"is it?"
"..."
"..."
The conversation ended in silence and Ian left angrily.
Looking at his receding back, Merlin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand.
He didn't seem unhappy about being punched. Instead, he seemed like everything was within his expectations.
"Ian, let me see what you would do."
[Although Merlin's words did make you angry, you knew that what he said was probably true.]
[As the price of drawing the sword and ascending the throne, Artorius lost all his emotions. 】
[The only exception is my admiration for you, which can be shown anytime and anywhere. ]
【You realize that you have grasped something extremely important to a young girl.】
[As agreed, you arrived at the city wall in the evening. ]
[But this time, Artorius didn't wait for you there early like before. ]
【On the contrary, she never showed up. 】
You start to get a little worried.
【Fortunately, she finally showed up. 】
[It's just that——her appearance seems a little different from usual. ]
"Mr. Ian."
A shy voice came.
Ian turned around, and the scenery in front of her made her freeze in shock.
I saw Artorius in the moonlight, he had changed his clothes.
Her hair, which was usually tied into a bun, was now turned into a smooth high ponytail with a big black bow tied on it.
The side hair that originally rested carelessly on the cheek was also carefully combed, becoming as thin as a weeping willow.
She also wore a black bow tie around her neck.
The coat she was originally wearing disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a much thinner white dress.
This allowed her body to be displayed in a hazy way under the moonlight - delicate and delicate, like a lotus just emerging from the water.
Her legs were wrapped in white stockings, making them look even longer.
This is a girl as beautiful as a flower, and now she appears in front of Ian in reality.
The throbbing that was originally hidden deep in my heart once again surfaced to the surface of my heart.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ian."
Artorius looked very embarrassed.
"I am late."
"..."
Ian suppressed the throbbing in his heart and spoke as calmly as possible.
"It's okay. It's not too late."
"only--"
"Artorius, why are you dressed like this?"
"This one……"
Artorius lowered his head, his face slightly red.
She kicked her feet lightly on the ground of the city wall, looking very shy.
"Mr. Ian, didn't you say before that you liked me more as a girl?"
"So... I just dressed up a little bit like other people."
"It's a little strange, though... I still can't accept it."
Hearing this, Ian was stunned.
He suddenly understood.
Artorius would never be late.
After all, she had kept her promise to take her around Camelot and waited at the door of the hotel long in advance.
What's more, now that she was the one who took the initiative to ask for a meeting, it was even less likely that she would be late.
So--
"Artorius, did you choose to meet me at night because you wanted to avoid other people's sight?"
"Yes, yes..."
Artorius touched his hair sheepishly.
"If other people saw me like this, it would definitely cause a lot of controversy."
"Do you think you can hide yourself just by relying on the night?"
"..."
Artorius hesitated for a moment, then looked up and continued his answer.
"Mr. Ian, you are right."
"In fact, I also know that this is a bit self-deceptive."
"But I think that compared to the risk of being discovered, letting you see me like this... is something that is very worth considering!"
"..."
[Artorius' words left an endless echo in your heart.]
【You realize that your previous judgment was correct. 】
[The only emotion left in Artorius is his admiration for you.]
[The motivation brought by this kind of love sometimes even exceeds the responsibility she bears. ]
[She now is the best proof. ]
Seeing that Ian stopped talking, Artorius became a little worried.
"Um, Mr. Ian, am I too ugly in this outfit?"
"Sorry! I should have made it clear to you in advance!"
"..."
Ian hesitated for a moment, but still answered with a smile.
"Artorius, that's not the case."
"You look good in this outfit."
"Yeah?!"
Hearing this, Artorius seemed much happier.
