Chapter 6

"Oh … I don't know … the ceiling?"

"Ah, Beckham, you're awake?

Are you feeling unwell anywhere?

Do you want to drink some water?

Or do you want to sleep a little longer?! "

"No, nothing … Sorry, I think I'm … drunk?"

An enlarged, delicate face of a young girl appeared in front of his eyes. Because he was looking at her closely, he could see her porcelain-like skin and emerald-like eyes without missing a single detail.

— — This figure was too dazzling, too beautiful.

Bedivere's cheeks flushed red, naturally ignoring the guilty look on the young lady's face. He then looked at the sky outside suspiciously.

"It's now …"

"Mm, it's the afternoon of the second day!

But, Beckham, this is your first time drinking elven wine!

It's normal to be drunk for so long!

So you don't have to mind at all … "

"So it's like this …"

"Mm mm, that's right, it's like this!"

"Ah, I don't know why, but the back of my neck hurts?"

“！！！”

"Please don't mind, Lily. You must have a stiff neck when you were sleeping yesterday right?

Thank you for taking care of me. "

"No, no, this is what I should do. We're companions after all!"

Lily smiled and glanced at Bedivere who didn't seem to notice anything. She heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like, he didn't notice anything!

Beckham's character was indeed very easy to fool!

But, this made her very worried. Would he be cheated and still help her count the money?

She sighed silently in her heart and felt that she should take care of him more in the future.

Yesterday, when Bedivere asked, "Lily, are you King Arthur's sister, Morgan Lefay?"

When she said this, for a moment, Lily wanted to confess. She didn't want to lie to Bedivere.

After all, if she admitted that she was Ms. Wang of Morgan, there would definitely be a lot of questions. But if she denied it, it would make people even more suspicious of her identity … However, Lily wasn't sure what Bedivere's reaction would be if she confessed her identity as Ms. Wang.

Would he be disappointed that the "king" he had been looking forward to was an immature girl?

Would he change his attitude towards her and not be as intimate as he was now?

Would he be angry and alienate her because of her previous concealment?

These questions popped up one after another, causing Lily's heart to be filled with struggle.

At that time, Merlin and Guy didn't express any opinions. They just looked at her and let her make her own decision. After all, after confirming that Bedivere didn't have any bad intentions, although they didn't want too many people to know about Lily's true identity out of vigilance, they would naturally support her decision.

Thus, Lily, who was in a dilemma, chose …

No, it shouldn't be said that she "chose" this matter. In her panic, her body instinctively made a judgment — she directly hit Bedivere on the back of his neck and knocked him out …

In order to express her apology, Lily personally carried Bedivere to bed and took care of him until now.

Then, she rejected Merlin's suggestion to use the Nightmare Innate Skill to erase his memory. She was ready to leave it to fate. If Bedivere woke up and still remembered the previous question, then she would answer truthfully. But if Bedivere forgot … Everyone was happy, and this hurdle would be crossed!

After Bedivere woke up, he didn't suspect anything. After all, he wasn't the kind of person who was suspicious. In addition, he trusted Lily and believed that he was "not used to drinking the fairy's wine for the first time, so I slept until now" and forgot the question he asked in a daze …

Regarding this result, Lily's feelings were a little complicated. She was glad that she didn't have to reveal her secret and could continue as usual, but she also had some subtle regrets.

She cherished this friend who didn't know her identity and only doted on her as an ordinary girl. But at the same time, she knew that being greedy for this kind of gentleness was something that only a real little girl would do. It wasn't something that the king could rely on, so she was conflicted.

However, since things had developed to this point, then, it was probably fate, right?

Let's just let this happy time pass by a little longer ….

…

"Hmm?

What?

You said that I actually … "

"I see … After I said those words, no wonder I felt that Merlin and the others weren't so wary of me …"

"Is that so?

Don't worry, I'll be careful. I didn't expect … my luck to be so good … "

What Lily and the others didn't know was that when Bedivere was alone, the memories that they thought they had forgotten were revealed to him in another form.

Fortunately, Bedivere was a very open-minded person. He never liked to pursue secrets that others didn't want to talk about, so he didn't pursue it. This successfully allowed Lily to hide her identity for a little longer … Although in the long run, perhaps this wasn't a good thing.

Anyway, to the current Bedivere, Lily was Lily. It didn't matter what identity she had!

…

"Hey, are you really okay?

I'll say it again. When the time comes and you see that the situation is not good, run, understand?

Have you memorized the escape route? "

"Yes … Speaking of which, Kay, do you have so little confidence in yourself?"

Ever since he knew Kay's identity, Bedivere had added honorifics to Kay's name. After all, he was an important Knight by the king's side!

Now, Kay had risen to the same status as Merlin. After all, as the close attendant of the future king, etiquette was very important.

Although he didn't have time to be trained in the ancient western etiquette, he more or less knew a little from the information. He had to show his greatest sincerity. As for Lily … Well, it was still Lily. After all, if he used honorifics to this cute girl, Bedivere himself felt strange.

Kay & Merlin: Actually, the one you should use honorifics to the most is Lily!

Bedivere who didn't know the truth was also happily increasing the favorability of the teenage king today!

Under the guidance of the omniscient and omnipotent Merlin, the group walked into the wetlands. Then, Bedivere discovered a problem that he had neglected before.

Wetlands, as the name implied, referred to the areas where the surface was too wet or often accumulated water, and wetland creatures lived. In a broader sense, it could also refer to the temporary or long-term coverage of low-lying land with a water depth of no more than two meters, all kinds of saltwater and freshwater swamps, wet meadows, lakes, rivers, flood plains, and so on …

All the knowledge that he had learned in geography classes completely emerged in his mind. Bedivere looked at the big watery eyes of the horse under him. No matter how he looked at it, it was an ordinary horse, right?

Was it really okay?!

Even if he didn't know much about survival in the wild, he knew that it was not suitable to ride a horse in this place, right?

"Don't worry, our horses have been enchanted. There won't be a problem."

Lily seemed to see through Bedivere's hesitation and said with a smile, "And if there's an accident, I can save you. After all, I've been blessed by the Lake Fairy and can walk on water!"

"Walk on water?

That's amazing! "

Bedivere looked at Lily with some surprise and praised, "As expected of you, Lily. You'll definitely become a great Knight in the future!"

"Thank, thank you."

Lily only realized that something was wrong after she finished speaking. Being blessed by the Lake Fairy was part of the legend of "King Arthur!"

But … Bedivere didn't notice at all?

She didn't suspect that Bedivere deliberately pretended not to know, because she had a cheat-like "intuition" skill, and her intuition had always been very sensitive.

It was also because of this that while she was relieved, Lily couldn't help but feel a little conflicted. Although Bedivere seemed to be very concerned and longed for "King Arthur," … from the various details, it was really not convincing!

Could it be that he was just trying to complete his "mission," so even if he wasn't interested, he would try his best to care about the "king"?

"Lily, now is not the time to be in a daze!"

"Yes!

Sorry! "

Lily came back to her senses and saw Merlin's understanding eyes. She awkwardly put her hand on her sword. In order to prevent others from recognizing her identity from the sword, she deliberately added a layer of enchantment on the outside. At this time, she held the sword lightly and her eyes returned to seriousness. She stared at the monster in front of her and frowned.

"It doesn't seem to be easy to deal with."

"That's right, we have to be careful."

"Haha, then, I'll leave it to you two ~ ~ I'll do my best to support you ~"

"Hmm?"

Bedivere looked at the three of them blankly, then immediately realized something. He carefully looked in front of him again, and then his expression changed.

He didn't notice the existence of magical beasts at all because he didn't see any living creatures. But now that he looked again, it wasn't that he didn't see anything, but because all he saw was a dark mass in the distance, he subconsciously thought it was a dense forest, so he ignored it …

"It's actually … so thick?!"

Or rather, was this something that humans could deal with?!

"If you're scared, you can leave now!

After all, you're really weak. I'm not belittling you, but it's the truth. "

Merlin revealed a frivolous smile as usual, but there was a rare seriousness and penetrating power in his eyes.

"Many times, acting according to one's ability is also a kind of wisdom. That monster is really not something you can deal with. If you retreat, we won't blame you."

"Although I admit that I may be weak, but, didn't I say it before?

I've already prepared myself to gamble with my life. "

Bedivere said so, feeling the light humming of the sword in his hand, his trembling fingers unbelievably calmed down. He looked at the magical beast that was entrenched like a hill in the distance. It was roughly estimated to be at least a few dozen meters long, and his eyes showed a determined look.

"Oh?

You stopped trembling so quickly? "Merlin raised his eyebrows in surprise." Have you overcome your fear?

I seem to have underestimated you … Hmm, your rating that fell below zero before can slightly rise back up. "

"I should thank the one-eyed man in the tavern. The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the unknown. In the face of a known magical beast, I'm just instinctively in awe of 'huge things'."

"Hmm, should I praise you for being brave or not?"

Guy admired Bedivere's courage in facing a strong enemy, but he also felt that this was a little too reckless. He could only shake his head and say no more. With Bedivere's current willpower, it would be useless no matter how others tried to persuade him, right?

"Then, follow me, Beckham!"

Lily nodded and said in a firm voice, "I will definitely protect my important friends!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Lily. I will also work hard to protect my important friends."

Seeing that Lily and Guy took the lead and tacitly attacked the magical beast from both sides, Bedivere also held the reins tightly and rushed forward with them. He looked at the beautiful sword in his hand and showed a trusting smile.
