Saying that, Rittery, who had nothing in her hand, conjured a big red apple out of thin air for Altoria. Before she took it away from her hand, she put the apple in her hand and asked her to run behind her to do her favorite thing.
Witnessing how Artolia had made the mistake of killing someone who was guilty but did not deserve to die, Ritey was right. Merlin shook his head with mixed feelings, then nodded with a conflicted expression and said in a tone that sounded very conflicted,""I'm getting more and more confused about whether choosing you to be Toria's…servant was right or wrong.”
After saying that, Merlin ignored Litte, who was extremely conflicted by his words. He raised his hand and stroked his long silver-white beard."Litte, what do you think of Toria?”
"Uh…very good?"
Ritey, who could not understand Merlin's question for a moment, tilted his head and asked him in a questioning tone.
Merlin, who did not expect that Litte would not understand his question, smiled and shook his head when he came back to his senses."I'm not asking you that. I'm asking you if you think Toria is qualified to go out and see the outside world.”
"I…"
After Merlin's explanation, Litte understood what he meant. He had just opened his mouth to say a word when he was called by Altoria behind him.
"Ritter!"
Litte understood why Artolia called him at this moment. He sighed softly, closed his eyes, and thought seriously for a moment before speaking to Merlin again,""Toria already has the qualifications to go out and explore the outside world. However, I won't let her go out now, nor will I agree to her going out, because I need some time to perfect my…um…something. So, after I perfect this, I'll bring her out to explore the outside world and explore it.”
Rittery didn't want to let Altoria, who had never seen him holding a sword in the past two years, know that he had secretly practiced swordsmanship behind her back. He had also mastered a swordsmanship that surprised Merlin, who was not only the number one mage in the British Isles, but also the number one mage in the world. He didn't want to hurt Altoria's self-esteem.
Merlin, who was clear about this and what Ritter meant by those words, gently stroked his long silver beard and nodded slightly."Good! But I have to remind you that you only have a month to perfect that. After a month, you must go outside with Toria and Kel.”
"Why…why…is King Yuse dead? 'I'm still going to die…Teacher Merlin, why don't you knock me to death!' Also, I know that you and King Yosef are old friends, and even if I don't give you face, I have to give him some respect because he is the King of Luck, but…Hu…Alright, since you have said so, then I will pray for the dying King Yosef in my heart for three seconds.”
Ritey, who had wanted to say " but I can't do it no matter what ", was silenced by Merlin, who knew that he had said that. Ritey, who had no choice but to let out a long sigh, changed his words and said that he would be dead if outsiders heard him.
Fortunately, there were only him, Merlin, and the young and old foxes, Artoria Pendragon, who did not even know what her surname represented.
Of course, it did not matter even if there were outsiders here because neither Litte nor Merlin would let anyone who heard his words leave this place alive. Although Litte had not killed anyone until now, it did not mean that he did not dare to kill.
In fact, the reason why Ritteri had not killed anyone until now was that Altolia and Merlin thought too highly of him. Otherwise, Ritteri would have become a bloodthirsty killer even if he had not become a murderer.
"Ritter, you should know that Jili is a country formed by a race that has suffered from foreign oppression.”
"So, the Celts, who couldn't defeat the Romanians, who were one of the foreign races, transferred their hatred to the Saxons, who were also the Germanic people. Then, they took down Nakasri 'openly' and expelled the Saxons who had lived in Nakasri for generations using very 'humane' methods. They also helped the Saxons dig out their ancestors and reunite them with their ancestors, right? My Teacher Merlin."
Ritey's face was filled with mockery as he said these words. It had turned into a sinister smile. This made Merlin give up on the idea of preaching to him. Ritey, who had witnessed his compatriots die in front of him, had the right to hate King Yosef and kill him.
"Litte, what are you talking to Teacher Merlin about? Also, I don't like your expression right now.”
Artolia, who had told the truth about her thoughts, made Ritter, who always changed his face at the mention of King Uther, take a few deep breaths until his lungs hurt. He then exhaled a few breaths that contained a lot of negative emotions, and then looked at her with a normal smile as he replied,""It's just some boring old stuff that won't even be written into the Celtics 'history. It's normal that you don't understand.”
Ritey, who didn't want to let Altolia know about those things and didn't want her to be involved in those things, had already known about her identity when he saved her at the age of 11. At that time, Ritey had already known about the incident in Nakasri and witnessed the death of his compatriots.
However, Rittery knew that this had nothing to do with Atoria. The reason was not only that Rittery, who had brought the item that could prove her identity to Merlin, was told by Merlin that she was taken away by him when she was still a baby in swaddling clothes, or that she had never cared about the fact that she was an alien, whether it was when she was young or now.
Therefore, Rittery, who had been brainwashed by Merlin to give everything to Altoria since he was young, did not have any resentment towards her. He would even give up some of the things that a person with flesh and blood had to do for her.
As for why Merlin had hugged Altoria when she was still a baby, although Merlin did not give a direct answer, Litte could guess why Merlin had done so.
The King of Geely, Yusuf Pendragon, had no children in his early years. When he reached middle age and was about to enter his old age, he had a child, but it was a daughter. For this reason, King Yusuf, who determined that no matter how smart and capable his daughter was, she would not be able to protect the country from internal and external troubles, found his old friend, Merlin.
Then, with the advice and help of Merlin, the shameless old man, King Yosef became the Duke of Cornish. He climbed into the bed of the beautiful wife of the Duke of Cornish, who was also Atalia's biological mother, Iglaine. He created Atalia in 'less than an hour', which Merlin revealed to Ritey, and married Iglaine back to the palace after the Duke of Cornish died.
However, what made King Yosef, who had no more strength to create life with the beautiful Igraine, want to kick Merlin to death was that Merlin had predicted that the child between him and Igraine would be a boy. As soon as the child was born, King Yosef was stunned because the child was a girl, which was now Aaloria.
The most unfortunate thing was that King Yuse was stunned. Merlin, who had predicted that the child would be a boy, did not show any reaction. Therefore, he ran away before King Yuse could kick him. However, after a while, Merlin returned and brought back a sentence that made King Yuse, who had a bitter face every day, smile.
"Sword in the Stone, female as male."
These words changed both Artolia's life and Litte's life.
In fact, Merlin was not only a little confused but also shocked when he saw Iglain giving birth to the girl she named 'Altoria'. The reason was that his prophecy was 100% accurate, so he thought that there must be something strange about it, which was why he ran to find the answer before King Yosef, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and kicked him.
In the end, Merlin got the answer from the oldest consciousness. He then told the answer to King Yuse with those six words. With two votes in favor and one against, he brought the infant Altolia to Sir Eckart's house to be raised. He also found Ritter through the vague hint given by the oldest consciousness.
'Azure World, golden sunlight, loyal…'
This incomplete and vague hint was given to Merlin by the oldest consciousness.
After pondering for a long time, Merlin could not figure out what this hint meant. When he saw Ritey, who had a head of golden hair that shone under the sunlight and a pair of blue eyes that looked like the eyes of the planet he lived on according to the oldest consciousness, Merlin understood the meaning of this hint. Thus, after asking Ritey's name, he chose him without hesitation.
Now, Merlin looked at Ritter, who had hatred for the Celts and King Yuse but would smile at Atolia, the daughter of the Celts and King Yuse, and smiled in relief."One of the best things that an old man like me did in my life was to bring a little fox like you to Toria.”
"One of the worst things she did was to make Kang Dong…Hiss…I finally realized that the reason why Toria was so unreasonable was because she learned it from you!”
Ritey, who had wanted to say 'one of the worst things I did was to let the Duke of Cornish die young' was hit hard on the head by Merlin, who had guessed what he wanted to say. Ritey, who knew that he would definitely be hit by Merlin's staff if he continued, changed the topic and gave him a strong reprimand…# Date:08 24 2019 5:46PM
