Fate/Bastard First Simulation In Britain as Morgan's husband

[The knight's words made you realize something.]

[This is Artorius's village.]

[Rescuing knights who had collapsed from the front line was indeed something a person of his character would do.]

"Then where is he now?" Ian asked.

"This..."

The knights looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"He didn't tell us where he went, just asked us to wait here for his return."

"Did he say anything else?"

"Nothing else," the knight answered truthfully.

"Okay."

Ian didn't continue asking.

He knew these wounded knights wouldn't know much.

However, even without any useful information, Ian could roughly guess what Artorius had gone to do.

With his personality, he probably went to find ways to help these knights.

[Your guess was quickly confirmed.]

[With a "Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone," Artorius appeared before you, carrying a bucket and accompanied by an older person.]

[Obviously, the bucket contained food, and the older person was someone he had brought to treat the knights' wounds.]

[You smiled and waved at him.]

[He froze, and the bucket he was holding slipped from his hands.]

Ian reacted quickly.

The moment the bucket left Artorius's hands, he moved.

Before it hit the ground, Ian had already caught it.

"Such speed!"

The knights were amazed.

They became even more convinced that the defeat in the war had a lot to do with Ian's absence.

"Here."

Ian handed the bucket back.

"Artorius, focus on what you're doing."

"Ah... oh."

Artorius nodded repeatedly, took the bucket from Ian, and then seemed to realize something.

He first turned to the person who had come with him and said,

"I'll leave the treatment of the knights' wounds to you."

Then he turned back to Ian.

"Mr. Ian, please wait for me!"

With that, Artorius put down the bucket and ran out.

[You didn't understand why Artorius suddenly ran off.]

[But you didn't think too much about it.]

[The person Artorius brought was indeed there to heal the knights' wounds, just as you had expected.]

[You watched silently, saying nothing.]

[Until a familiar voice sounded in your ear again.]

"Mr. Ian," Artorius's gentle voice sounded in his ear.

Ian turned around and immediately understood what he had just gone to do.

Artorius's face was damp, and there were small water droplets at the tips of his hair.

His beautiful golden hair was tied back, still wrapped with the piece of cloth he had torn off last time.

His slightly disheveled clothes had been straightened, with no sign of wrinkles from labor.

It was easy to tell what had happened—Artorius had deliberately washed his face and tidied himself up.

However, it wasn't the first time he had seen him do this, so Ian didn't pay much attention.

Of course.

He hadn't forgotten Morgan's request—to kill Artorius.

But if he were to do it here, he would probably have to slaughter the entire village.

Whether he could do it was another matter.

If more knights continued to flee here, it was hard to say what would happen.

He needed to take it slow.

"Long time no see, Artorius," Ian replied with a smile.

"Yes long time no see, Mr. Ian!"

Artorius blushed slightly, his hands clasped in front of him, and he looked somewhat girlish.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

"Speaking of which, aren't you very busy? How come..."

"Just came out to take care of something," Ian explained casually—of course, he couldn't tell Artorius about Morgan's request.

"I see," Artorius didn't ask further.

"Speaking of—"

Ian looked at the knights receiving treatment beside him.

"Artorius, did you bring all these knights back to this village?"

Artorius nodded.

"Yes."

"They are all knights of Britannia, protecting us. It's only natural for us to provide treatment when they are injured."

"But, Artorius."

Ian glanced at the knights present.

"Isn't the sudden influx of so many knights an unbearable burden for this entire village?"

"Are you... like before, exceeding your capabilities to do what you think is right?"

"Exceeding my capabilities?"

"No," Artorius smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Ian, this time, I haven't exceeded my capabilities."

"I do believe these people deserve our help, but I haven't exceeded the village's capacity."

"The arrival of these knights won't affect the village's normal life. I've confirmed this with my brother and father."

"Also, there's something else I want to tell you."

Artorius looked at the person helping the knights.

"This healer is also someone I found in the village."

"Before this, I thought that if I couldn't find such a person in the village, I would give up this search."

"But in the end, after searching the entire village, I found him."

"What you said that day was right. None of us have an obligation to do things beyond our capabilities."

"But at least—"

Artorius's expression became very serious.

"Before declaring complete failure, I hope I can try all possibilities within my capabilities."

"..."

[You were silent for a long time.]

[This made Artorius a little flustered.]

"Mr. Ian, am I being stubborn?" the handsome young man asked.

"Stubborn isn't the word," Ian turned to look at Artorius.

"I just think that if you think like this, it will probably take a lot of energy to do things."

"Do you think it's worth it?"

"Yes, it's worth it," Artorias nodded. "At least I think it is."

"Is that so?"

Ian felt his heart being touched again by this handsome young man.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Artorius's head.

"Then, I hope you achieve your wish."

"Mm..."

Artorius lowered his head, looking slightly shy.

Just then, a figure appeared in the distance.

"Artorius!"

"Eh? Brother?" Artorius looked up, flustered. "Why are you back?"

"That's not important," the person called brother glanced at Ian.

"Come out with me for a moment!"
