I'm really not an old sword

The other party seemed to be unaware of his situation.

But I don’t know why, I’m just very angry.

After what happened that day, I couldn't help but get angry whenever I saw my male self and his playful smile.

I really want to beat him up, beat that hippie-smiling man until he is covered in dirt, and then step on his chest and make him call me mom.

Who let him take advantage of him?

Knowing her identity, she still calls me her daughter!

How infuriating!

"I'm thinking about something."

"A prisoner might die at any moment."

Artoria closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

But the constant feeling of hunger in her stomach would suddenly wake her up when she was about to fall asleep.

At this moment, the door of the secret room was suddenly pushed open, and a man's gritted laughter that instantly woke Artoria up and made her laugh was heard at the door.

"Why are you so listless?"

Chapter 4: Scream a few more times for me (K)

Altria gritted her teeth in anger.

Don't be angry, don't be angry.

Just when she was about to play dead and ignore him, she suddenly smelled the fragrance of food and subconsciously raised her head.

Lin Qingsu was holding plates of food in her hands.

"What are you going to do?"

Although she tried hard to suppress her emotions, Altria's voice was still filled with desire.

Lin Qingsu didn't say anything. She walked to Altria and sat down. She put the square plate with the dishes on the ground and filled a bowl with rice.

Artoria picked up the meat with chopsticks and put it to Manman's mouth, and her gaze followed it.

Looking at the meat that had not been put into her mouth for a long time, Artoria became a little anxious. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized something was wrong and looked up. Lin Qingsu was looking at her and smiling.

Altria's face instantly turned cold: "What do you want to do?"

"hungry?"

"I wouldn't care about you even if I starved to death." Altria said coldly, "I don't need your hypocrisy."

"is it?"

Lin Qingsu held the piece of meat and moved it to Altria's lips.

She kept her mouth tightly shut.

The rich aroma of meat wafted into her nose. Because she was too hungry, Altria felt that the piece of meat was the most delicious food in the world, and her salivary glands secreted rapidly and uncontrollably.

Otherwise just give in.

As soon as the idea came to her mind, Artoria felt ashamed of her thoughts.

Artoria, you are the king. How can you surrender to this despicable and shameless man just for a little food?

"Are you really not going to eat?"

Seeing that Altria turned her head, Lin Qingsu picked up the meat and swung it around her mouth, rubbing it here and there.

Altria turned her head away, demonstrating with her actions that she would never surrender.

"Okay, since you're not hungry, I'll leave."

Hearing the sound of people packing up the dishes and getting up to leave, Artoria suddenly became a little anxious.

How come you only have this little patience?

She wanted to call him, but her dignity as a king made her hold her head tightly against the wall. She even resisted looking at him because she was worried that he was deliberately lying to her and was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Until the footsteps disappeared at the door for a long time.

When she could no longer smell the aroma of food, Artoria looked towards the door as if to confirm.

nobody.

Sniffing carefully, there seemed to be some lingering aroma of food in the humid air, which made Altria even hungrier.

"asshole."

Artoria lowered her head in disappointment and looked at the ground in frustration.

So hungry.

Why didn't I eat that piece of meat just now?

I want to eat.

To be honest, Altria didn't believe that he would be so kind as to feed her, especially since she had bitten him so hard before.

But even if he was deliberately making fun of me and making me laugh, I still had to eat that piece of meat first.

Why should I get angry with him at that time?

Tears welled up in her eyes because of hunger. Altria turned her face away, suppressed her hunger and unwillingness, and closed her eyes.

You won’t be hungry when you fall asleep.

But the more I wanted to fall asleep, the hungrier I felt.

Suddenly, Altria felt the touch of flesh on her lips.

With just a sniff, she could smell the rich aroma of food, and Artoria couldn't help but open her mouth and take a bite.

The long-lost taste of meat melts in my mouth.

Was I hallucinating because I was too hungry?

Altria didn't dare to open her eyes, fearing that her dream would be shattered as soon as she did. She just waited for the food to reach her lips and kept repeating the action of opening her mouth and chewing. It was not until her body regained some strength that she suddenly realized something was wrong.

When she opened her eyes, that hateful face was right in front of her, with a hateful smile on his face.

Following the face down, the arm was holding a spoon filled with rice and meat.

Altria suddenly couldn't eat anymore.

"Why, are you full?"

"Not full."

Altria said this in a self-deprecating manner, not thinking anymore, and let him feed her mouthful by mouthful.

Soon, she had eaten up all the plates of food and rice that Lin Qingsu brought. Artoria licked her lips with a look of unsatisfied taste in her eyes.

"there is none left?"

"I'll talk to you next time when I'm in a better mood."

Altria hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then, when are you in a good mood?"

After saying that, noticing Lin Qingsu's surprised look, Artoria felt a little annoyed, but when she thought of the painful hunger she had felt before, she still opened her mouth.

"I don't know what kind of evil magic your sister used on me, but she made my body look like an ordinary person."

“And then she didn’t give me food…”

"Even if you're not an ordinary person, you'd still be greedy."

"It's different." Artoria said dissatisfiedly: "If I were still a Heroic Spirit, I wouldn't be like this even if I wanted to eat."

"Okay, okay, but what does that have to do with me? You know, we're still enemies. You still expect me to bring you food like I'm going to get off work? Not to mention anything else, just feeding you mouthful by mouthful is exhausting."

Altria blushed.

"It was my fault for biting you before, but it was also because you were so infuriating in the beginning."

"so what?"

"You'd better kill me."

Lin Qingsu suddenly became interested.

"You make a 'grunt' sound."

Altria looked at him angrily.

Although she didn't know what "Gu" meant, her intuition told her that this man definitely had no good intentions, and she would never give in no matter what.

"If you listen to me, I'll bring you food in the evening. By the way, I'll tell you that it's just past noon now."

"Goo."

After screaming, Artoria's face turned red enough to look like blood. Why hadn't she thought before that just making a sound could be so embarrassing?

"Yes, a few more."

Lin Qingsu became even more excited.

"Don't go too far!"

Lin Qingsu emphasized: "Dinner."

Altria gnashed her teeth in hatred.

After a while, she lowered her head under the pressure of dinner and made several "cooing" sounds in succession.

By the end of the shouting, the queen had tears of humiliation in her eyes and looked like she was about to be broken.

Satisfied, Lin Qingsu stopped teasing her.

Instead of leaving immediately, he stayed in the basement and found a place to sit and chat with Altria.

Because of the "favor of feeding her", Artoria's attitude towards him improved a lot. Although her tone was still often sharp and she would find opportunities to mock him harmlessly from time to time, she was no longer like before, with her words always sharp and making communication almost impossible.

The two Arthurs seemed to have endless topics to talk about, and they talked for a long time just sharing each other's stories.

Although Altria didn't admit it, Lin Qingsu felt that they had become good friends.

They chatted until the evening. Lin Qingsu went to the kitchen to bring dinner to Altria, and when she came back she brought her a bottle of wine.

Just as he was feeding Artoria a few mouthfuls of rice and a sip of wine, he suddenly heard Artoria mumbling to herself in a lost tone.

"Maybe it would be better if I was killed by you that day."

Lin Qingsu looked at the woman carefully.

His hair was wet, and when he raised his face, his long hair stuck to his face, covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

Lin Qingsu raised her right hand and rubbed her head.

Artoria immediately struggled violently, revealing her eyes, her green pupils filled with rage.

"What are you doing suddenly?!"

"To encourage you."

"I don't need it." Artoria shook off the hand on her head. "I was just explaining the best solution. Compared to my current life, choosing not to run and being killed by you was obviously the best outcome. The Master wouldn't have died because of me, and Sora wouldn't have been in danger because of the stabbing."

"Then you are not allowed to think like that in the future, understand?"

"Why?"

“No matter how difficult life is, people still have to work hard to survive.”

"What qualifications do you have to lecture me?"

Altria wasn't someone who couldn't accept advice, but she just didn't want to admit defeat in front of him.

"At least I didn't give up."

Lin Qingsu grabbed her hair hard.

"Honestly, I cannot understand why you chose to give up hope of survival and let Bedivere return it to the Lady of the Lake at the end of the Battle of Camlan, even though you could have survived and made a comeback."
