Chapter 1,698 The Restless King

w

"Ah... Artoria, are you okay?"

After canceling the transformation, he turned around and saw that after my king killed the enemy with his hands, he still looked like he was still alive. He lowered his head and couldn't see his face. He kept holding the sword with both hands and let the sword of victory penetrate deeply. Looking at the body that replicated the metal body, I couldn't help but feel frightened.

There was no response, as if he was still in a darkened state.

However, after a few seconds, her figure suddenly shook a few times, leaning to one side and falling.

I quickly stepped forward, caught Artoria who was about to fall to the ground, and held her in my arms.

"Hug... I'm sorry, Fan, I'm a little exhausted." Looking up from her arms, Arturia looked weak, with sweat dripping from her forehead, and smiled at me.

It suddenly dawned on me that it wasn't that the blackened state was unresolved, but that I couldn't move. It's no wonder. After all, I was at a high level in the field and unleashed such a terrifying ultimate move. If I could still be alive and kicking around, that would be great. Ghost.

"As long as I'm here, you can rest peacefully." I smiled back and quietly stared at the majestic and pretty face in my arms.

Arturia also looked at me quietly, but unfortunately she didn't have the same affection as before, but her smile gradually faded. His green eyes were unblinking, and the corners of his eyebrows were slowly rising again.

Oops...Oops, she must have remembered what happened just now. You have to settle accounts with me.

After all, I couldn’t help but lift it twice [Pfft——! ! ! ] A wooden sign with a sound.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the distance.

"Your Highness————!!" Amrudina, who was flying from a distance at a fast speed, seemed unable to fully confirm our position. And shouting loudly everywhere. .

"We are here." I took the opportunity to avoid Artoria's gaze humbly, and turned around to respond.

Arturia, who had recovered a little strength, also left my arms at this time, pulled out the sword of victory from the metal corpse, and took it back.

"Your Majesty the Queen, Your Highness the Prince, you are late." After hearing the voice, it took a few blinks. Amrudina rushed over sweating profusely, knelt down on one knee and led the way to us.

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Amrudina's appearance, Artoria and I couldn't bear it. After all, she was not good at speed and had to work hard to come all the way. It’s really difficult.

"The replicating metal body has been killed by Artoria. This incident is over. Let's go back." Seeing that Artoria seemed reluctant to touch the body of the replicating metal body, I had to put it away on my behalf.

"Yes!" Amrudina responded, looking rather listless and depressed. Although it is a good thing that the replicating metal body was killed, I still feel that I have not been able to help in any way. His Highness must have underestimated him. Wow~~

With the only loot, the three of them headed back home. When they returned to the border town, Artoria still didn't say a word, which made me quite uneasy.

We were greeted by Caroline who came back to guard us. She seemed to have guessed that we would have a battle, and even had hot water ready. Thank God, there is nothing more comfortable than a hot bath after a battle.

But why do I have the illusion of washing the scaffold around my neck?

After soaking happily in the tub for more than half an hour, I walked out of the bathroom. As soon as I stepped out, Kaluge came to face me.

"Your Highness, is the water temperature suitable?"

"Well, it's just right. Thank you, Caroline." I nodded with satisfaction and looked at the maid in front of me. Did she come here specifically to ask this?

"This is what I should do." Carole bowed gracefully and finally revealed the purpose of coming here.

Arturia asked me to go back and meet her after taking a shower.

Is it finally here?

I shrank my neck, and led the way back to the tent, led by Carol, and approached step by step. The action of lifting the tent door was like pushing open two huge stone doors weighing 10,000 kilograms with all my strength.

"Artoria, I'm back."

After taking a look inside, Arturia was sitting on a chair by the window, looking out blankly. Her moist blond hair was draped softly on her shoulders, with a charm after bathing, but with a slight frown. The brows gave this charm a suppressed and solemn aura, as if she had arrived in the palace hall.

"Fan, you came just in time." Looking back, Artoria smiled slightly, but even if she smiled, her brows were frowned, as if she had something that couldn't be resolved.

Then he looked at me motionless, looking at me who had just taken a shower, and sweat started to form on my forehead again.

Oops, in this case, it’s better to apologize first.

"Feel sorry……"

"Feel sorry……"

In the quiet tent, two apologies sounded at the same time.

"Huh?" I looked at Arturia in surprise, wondering why Hao Duan was apologizing to me. If she wanted to apologize, I should be the one to apologize.

She also looked at me in surprise, confused by the same thing as me.

"Fan...why do you need to apologize?"

"You are the one, why are you so politely apologizing to me?" I asked back.

"Actually..." Arturia finally moved her gaze away from my face and looked outside the window again.

"I'm reflecting."

"Reflection?"

"Yes, after the battle, I have been thinking about it, recalling what happened today over and over again."

"Is there something wrong?" I looked at Arturia curiously, and at the same time I admired it very much. It's good to think about it three times a day. Unlike me, I forget about it in the blink of an eye after getting into trouble. I don't know what reflection is. .

But, what is she reflecting on? I also recalled it. Didn't you find that Artoria did something wrong?

"Today I was too impatient and irritable. This should not have been the result. If it were me as usual, I would never kill the replicating metal body in the end."

"Is that so? I don't think there's any problem." I wiped my head, not really understanding Artoria's current thoughts.

If I were to stand in Artoria's shoes, the majestic king of the clan. The extremely arrogant Queen of the Elf was actually copied by a replicating metal body. She even went so far as to seek her own death by creating a ragdoll bear costume with a ragdoll bear head. I will also get angry and kill it. There is nothing wrong with it. at.

I tried to analyze the reason with Artoria, hoping that she would be relieved.

"That's not right." After thinking about it, Artoria shook her head.

"The wanton behavior of replicating the metal body. It's just an inducement. The real reason is not here. I just reflected over and over again, and I vaguely realized that maybe when we heard the noise outside the town and chased the replicating metal body, from From that point on, I started acting a little weird."

"Really?" I tilted my head and thought about it, but I had no impression at all. Arturia was completely normal at that time.

"Yes."

"Didn't find the reason?" Looking at Artoria's still frowning, I felt very sad.

"No."

"If you can't figure it out, forget it. Occasionally I do some inexplicable things. This is normal. As a human being, who can guarantee that I will be absolutely calm at all times and will not be confused." I Hold your head high and your chest up, making a proud gesture.

"As the king of the elves, everything I say and do will affect everyone, how can I ignore it?" Looking at my silly and optimistic look, Artoria smiled happily, but shook her head.

"Then I am also an elder of the alliance and a prince of the Elf clan. My words and deeds may affect both clans. Why do you condone me?" I asked pretending to be confused, and then without waiting for Artoria to answer, I gave the answer myself.

"Because, there are many powerful people around me, such as you, Artoria. When I do something wrong and it affects everyone, you will tell me and help me correct it, right?"

Arturia nodded thoughtfully.

"So, Artoria, do you think there is no such person around you who can be entrusted and trusted? Of course I will forget it, as long as I don't give you bad ideas, but Carole, and Arlandlan Aren’t grandma and the other twelve knights reliable partners?”

"That's right." Artoria thought for a moment, then relaxed her frown slightly.

"A person's ability is limited after all, so the relationship of partnership was born. Artoria, try to rely on the people around you, and stop frowning." I stretched out my hand and gently touched it with my thumb. The last frown between Artoria's brows was gently smoothed away.

"Obviously this is a completely wrong answer to the question, but I still seem to be convinced by Fan." Artoria finally gave up her hard thinking and smiled perfectly.

"That's it. This smile is our Majesty the Queen, my wife. As long as this smile is there, everyone will be full of confidence and hope." I looked at Artoria's smile with fascination, sighed, and couldn't help but admire her. In my arms.

The moist smell on the blond hair, the fragrance after bathing, and the body fragrance of the delicate body in her arms, these smells and fragrances are blended together perfectly, like a love potion, making people unable to help but fall in love with it. , holding on and unwilling to let go.

"Fan, you are lying." Arturia did not resist the hug, but instead stretched out her slender arms and wrapped them around my waist, letting out a cute snort of comfort.

"What are you lying about?" I asked curiously, squinting my eyes intoxicated and gently stroking the soft, moist blond hair with my chin.

"The words I just said should be given to you. As long as you are here, everyone will have energy, confidence, and hope." Artoria murmured, and continued without waiting for me to argue.

"Just like now, I don't know why, being held by Fan like this, the restlessness that has never left my heart suddenly disappeared. Fan is really a magical person."

"Oh? Is it really that magical? If that's the case, then I have a better way."

Seeing that Arturia was extremely gentle now, I bravely said this, and then reached out to pinch her chin. Lifting the face in his arms, he kissed the moist and attractive lips.

Still no resistance, even. Those weak and boneless arms took the initiative to move from the waist to the neck, and hugged her with a slight force. Comply with the kiss.

No, my Majesty the King is so docile today, it almost makes me cute to death.

When the affection was strong and the atmosphere was good, the sound of footsteps outside woke us up. We regretfully parted our lips, took a step back, and looked at each other for a few seconds. They all laughed in unison.

"How about it, it works." I winked at her.

"Not bad." Her face flushed slightly, and Artoria once again showed her dazzling smile.

"Right." My king seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked while gently tucking his blond hair back.

"Fan hasn't told me yet, why did you apologize just now?"

"This... this..." My glasses turned.

After realizing that Artoria was not frowning because she was angry with me. How could I take the initiative to ask for a beating and tell the real reason?

"You see, I always make mistakes, and I don't know where I am wrong, so I have developed a habit. As long as others have a straight face towards me, I will take the initiative to apologize first." After thinking about it, I half-truthed and half-falsely explained.

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Okay, I reluctantly accept this explanation." I blinked those eyes that were as green and clear as lake water, quiet and indifferent. The wise eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made me feel particularly guilty.

After a pause, Artoria suddenly said casually, as if talking about ordinary things: "Whenever you lie, you always like to touch your nose, right?"

"No...no such thing." I subconsciously touched my nose and hurriedly denied it.

Only then did he realize that Artoria had tricked him. With a grimace on his face, unable to face her sharp gaze, he hid in a corner and drew circles alone.

Unexpectedly, even Artoria, who has a serious personality, has learned to deceive people, and her life is becoming increasingly difficult.

…

After the incident of replicating the metal body, we spent a few more days to inspect the last remaining border towns, so we didn't make any further stops and went directly back to the Elf King City.

Arturia has spent a month here. When she returns, the pile of documents on her desk will probably reach the roof.

There is also good news. As we have guessed before, the fierce fighting at the border this time is just because after the death of the black dragon Elias, the brains of those monsters that have been suppressed for a long time became congested and went crazy.

No matter how congested the brain is, there will be a day when it calms down. After the monsters and Warcraft paid a large number of casualties due to their crazy behavior, the fierce war centered on Lalula Town finally began to gradually cool down.

When our group returned to the small town of Lalula, we were delighted to find that the atmosphere here was much more relaxed than when we arrived more than a month ago.

Although fierce battles can give elven warriors more training, nothing is too much. Now, it is time for everyone to take a breather.

After staying in Lalula Town for a day, in addition to condolences to the soldiers, I also visited Madea...well, I visited the Sky Tribe and met those familiar faces, as well as our cute little elf Loli. Buco.

Everything made me happy except the statue of the Hanged Man that stood in the middle of the square, yes, except that thing! ! !

Except for Amrudina who continued to stay in the town of Larula full of regrets, the three of me, Artoria, and Kaluge finally returned to the Elf King City.

What greeted the three of us were not majestic royal soldiers, nor charming and stunning girls, but a large group of elf mages.

These research madmen surrounded us with a whoop. After I finally understood their purpose from the chatter, and handed over the corpse of the copied metal body, these mages left with a whoop.

In this regard, I can only shrug my shoulders. All the magicians in the secret world are from the same family. Even the elves who are famous for their elegance are no different from the magicians of the alliance in the face of their fanatical hobbies.

This is a day of peace, and after a few days...

Lying on the big chair, hugging the captured Veras puppy, I narrowed my eyes contentedly and planned to take a nap.

"Don't sleep, sir, let go." Vilas breathed into her ear with her face flushed.

"What's there to be ashamed of? Everyone's not here." I said with my eyes closed.

"It's broad daylight, in a place like the lobby...how can I not be shy."

The cute little dog made a whining sound, and it seemed like a pair of fluffy dog ​​ears stood up on its head. It listened to what was going on around it, and would jump out of my arms if there was anything unusual.

"You can do whatever you want in the room at night?" I turned my face and looked at Vilas teasingly at a very close distance and asked.

"Of course... not! Your Excellency always makes people do strange... lewd things. Those things are forbidden and must not be done!" Vilas resisted weakly.

"What about the normal [things]?" I suddenly became happy, leaning against her ear and breathing ambiguously: "For example... the normal thing about having a baby."

Vilas was at a loss for words. As she thought about it, she seemed to have entered a shy dead end. Her face became redder and redder, and her eyes gradually turned in circles. Finally, her forehead puffed up with smoke, and she fell down with a whimper.

Willas never gets tired of seeing this moment, so I laughed out loud, gave Willas a light bite on the lips who fainted shyly, hugged her soft and delicate body tightly, and prepared to continue my nap.

It's a pity that some people are unwilling to leave me alone.

"The mount is dead!" A childish cry suddenly rang in my ears. Just as I had time to open my eyes, a small black shadow had already appeared on my forehead. There was a flash of sword light, a puff sound, and a thin jet of water sprayed out on my forehead. Thin spring...

Could this be karma? I just made Willas's forehead smoldering with embarrassment, and within a moment of being so proud, my own forehead also spurted blood and fell down...

There are still two days left in February. After these two days, I have to regain my crown as the Second Emperor. Xiaoqi is suffering~~ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. m
