Matthew leaned against the mountain wall in the wilderness, his lips were slightly chapped, and his eyes were blank, looking ahead blankly.
"Mashu... come and drink some water." Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little worried about Mashu's condition and handed her a kettle.
"Huh? Senior, where is the water...?" Mashu blankly took the kettle handed over by Fujimaru Ritsuka, a little confused.
Chaldea's original kettle was given by Ozymandias, but it was lost in the previous battle.
"There was a leader of a refugee team who wanted to rob us. After being taught a lesson by Leonardo, he handed over some resources and ran away. Among the resources they left behind was this kettle." Fujimaru Tatsuka.
He explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Leonardo da Vinci has checked it and there is no poison in it. You can drink it with confidence."
"Ah, thank you..." Matthew nodded, took two sips of water, finally moistened his chapped lips, and then asked, "Mr. Annuo, haven't they come back yet?"
"...I have been able to detect the magic reaction of their return, so I can feel relieved." Roman's communication came in, and there was a little relaxation in his tone. He planned to enter the Holy City this time.
Although it failed, enough information had been obtained. It was a good choice to retreat at the right time, and there was no loss of combat effectiveness like the previous North American Singularity.
"That's good..." Matthew smiled gently and subconsciously touched Fufu in his arms.
"Fufu -" Fufu rubbed Mashu's hand, looking at Mashu's happy but sad expression, she stuck out her tongue and licked Mashu's face.
"Why are you crying, Mashu?" Fujimaru Ritsuka sat next to Mashu, took one of Mashu's hands, held it between his own, and looked at Mashu with some worry.
When she was pulling Mashu to retreat from the city wall of the Holy City, she saw Mashu's lifeless and tearful face, and she had been maintaining that state while fighting.
And now after the successful retreat, he is still in a somewhat absent-minded state.
"...I don't know." Matthew was silent for a while and shook his head.
"I don't know why I'm crying, senior, but if it was the battle that happened on the city wall, as long as I think about it, I will feel..." Mashu took a few deep breaths and patted himself
On the chest, a little sparkle appeared again in the corners of the eyes.
Arturia and Bedivere, who were standing at the back, looked at each other and said nothing.
They all know which servant gave Mashu the strength to fight until now, but they did not say it clearly, because all the Knights of the Round Table know that if they want to truly turn that spiritual base into their own power, they can only
Rely on Matthew himself.
But...they know why Matthew is sad.
Rather than saying that Mash is sad, it is better to say that the Galahad element that still remains in her body is sad.
The Round Table...that was the most beautiful thing in Galahad's heart. It was precisely because of his longing for the Round Table that he still chose to become a knight under Annuo's free education.
Anno himself was undoubtedly very dissatisfied with his son's education.
Is Lancelot a good knight?
It should be considered so.
But did he achieve what Anno expected of him?
not at all.
He even made a mess.
Regarding the handling of private life and relationships, it would be no exaggeration to say that what Lancelot did made Anno very disappointed.
Under her father's scheme, Princess Elaine stunned Lancelot with drugs and became pregnant with Galahad. Although Anno only learned about this later, he left a long
time for Lancelot to choose.
Whether Lancelot chooses to clear away his shame and kill Princess Elaine, or he chooses to use diplomacy to make the real mastermind pay the price, then claim his son and expel Princess Elaine as an accomplice of the conspiracy.
Well, he even revealed that the matchmaker was marrying Princess Elaine. Although it was degrading, he finally made a decision.
Anno has been waiting for Lancelot to make a decision.
But until Elaine was about to give birth, Lancelot did not deal with the matter. He chose to ignore Princess Elaine and the conspiracy behind it.
It was Annuo, the grandfather, who punished the mastermind of the conspiracy and recognized Galahad by the way.
And the issue of attitude towards Artoria.
Anno once reminded Lancelot that you are a subject, and Arthur is the king. Anno once again emphasized that no matter what decision Lancelot made, he must make a decision to make everything settle.
After careful consideration, Lancelot chose to cut off his thoughts and assist Arturia as a courtier.
But how should we explain the private gathering with Queen Guinevere and the king's son Mordred later?
To sum up, Lancelot's misdeeds made Anno feel that his educational ability may be poor.
Therefore, Anno did not have too many expectations for Galahad like he had for his father. It didn't matter whether he became a knight or not. Anno wanted him to grow up happily and freely without being restrained by himself.
However, Galahad still chose to become a knight, and even climbed onto the Round Table, alongside his grandfather and father.
Because the glory and nobility of the Round Table are the most beautiful things in Galahad's heart, all the knights fought together under the guidance of the king and were so united that even the betrayed Lancelot and Mordred returned to the Round Table.
, he used death to wash away his shame on Kamlan.
However, such a round table...
Such a beautiful round table...
Now they actually pulled out each other's swords and pointed them at each other.
This makes Galahad...how not to be sad.
Fujimaru Ritsuka pursed her lips, moved closer to Mashu, and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm by your side, so there's no need to cry." Fujimaru Ritsuka chuckled, trying his best to smile happily.
"...Hmm." Feeling this slightly clumsy comfort, Ma Xiu burst into laughter, but still nodded.
Arturia also smiled.
After enduring Galahad's power, it is natural to bear his sorrow.
I just don’t know...when will you be able to truly discover his power.
Until then... I hope the shield in your hand can truly exert its power.
The one who stands in front of everyone and blocks all attacks for everyone is also the most noble knight among the Knights of the Round Table——
...
In the distance, on the wasteland, three people were dusty.
"Annoqing... Facing all this cruelty in front of you, what are you thinking about?"
Percival asked with a sigh.
An Nuo looked forward solemnly and continued to move forward silently.
