Chapter 28. The Young Man Dream Beyond Imagination

[In fact, you had noticed this for a while.]

[Throughout the walk, you had observed that Artorius's gaze was always fixed on it.]

[Now, as he finally spoke about it, it seemed he had been holding back a lot.]

[This time, instead of asking any more questions, you simply responded.]

"Alright, if you want to go, let's go."

Ian took the things Artorius was holding in his arms and placed them in his own.

"Let's go."

"Okay!"

[Your reputation in the city is very high.]

[So, taking someone up to the city wall isn't a big deal.]

[Artorius was very happy.]

[Throughout the journey, he ran ahead of you, and you both continued on, one before the other, heading toward the city walls.]

"So... this is what it feels like to stand here?"

Standing on the city wall, Artorius looked at the view before him and exclaimed.

"You seem to really like this feeling," Ian said as he walked over to his side.

"Yes, Mr. Ian." Artorius quickly nodded in agreement. "Actually, when I was outside the city, I wondered if there was any way to get up here!"

"Now, I've finally made it."

"Thank you, Mr. Ian."

"No need to thank me."

Like Artorius, Ian looked ahead, where the land was bathed in the sunlight of Britannia.

The landscape before Artorius's eyes was a lush, green land near the capital, with vast forests stretching out, creating a picturesque scene of vibrant greenery.

"I want to know, why did you want to come up here so badly?" Ian asked.

"Because this is probably the place where you can see all of Britannia, right?!" Artorius expressed a completely different kind of excitement compared to before.

"This is the place I've always dreamed of, with the broadest view!"

In reality, that wasn't true.

No matter how big or tall the capital was, it couldn't provide a view of all of Britannia.

After all, if that were the case, the failure on the front lines would never have been hidden.

However—

Those words made Ian look closely at Artorius before him.

He felt that the young man in front of him seemed to carry an unspeakable burden.

"By the way, Artorius, you mentioned that you have an older brother, right?"

"Yes," Artorius turned around and nodded.

"I really do have an older brother."

"Then—" Ian gave a fake smile. "Why is it you selling apples, not your brother?"

"Because my father wanted to train me."

Artorius answered immediately, without hesitation.

"Carrying a cart full of apples all the way here was a great experience, I've learned a lot along the way."

"Including being hungry?" Ian asked with a smirk.

"That part was unexpected." Artorius scratched his face awkwardly. "I didn't expect to meet so many people who didn't have enough food."

"I couldn't give them apples, so I had no choice but to share my portion with them."

Ian was about to ask what those hungry people were like, but before the question escaped his mouth, he completely understood.

As Vortigern had said, the land of Britannia was undergoing great changes due to the decline of the Age of Gods.

The land's productivity was decreasing more and more.

Additionally, the frontlines of the opposing armies required a lot of resources, further worsening the already poor conditions.

Currently, even the capital, the wealthiest place, had been affected.

The scenes Artorius had witnessed on his journey were exactly like this.

"... " Ian smiled awkwardly.

"Artorius, you're really a kind-hearted person."

"Really..." Artorius pouted. "Rather than praising me for being kind, I'd like to know how we can solve this problem."

"Poverty, perhaps, is the common enemy of everyone, right?"

"Yeah... maybe."

[Noticing that you seemed to not want to bring up the topic any longer, Artorius switched to a different subject.]

[He asked if he could move a bit further ahead.]

[He hoped to see even further from this spot.]

[You didn't refuse him due to what he just said.]

[When you agreed, Artorius became even more cheerful.]

[He leaned against the two peaks of the city wall, gazing into the distance.]

[You looked at his back, suddenly struck with a chilling thought.]

Although Artorius was in many ways in line with Ian's understanding,

he could ultimately have seen something he shouldn't have.

Even though this possibility had been rapidly diminishing over time,

for the sake of absolute safety, Ian knew he should kill Artorius.

He couldn't allow any dangerous cracks to appear in Morgan's future.

And now, a perfect opportunity had presented itself in front of him.

This was not a time for fighting, and there were no guards on the city wall; only Ian and Artorius were there.

Artorius clearly had no guard up against Ian—he was even standing on tiptoe in front of him.

At this moment, if Ian were to push him off the city wall, it was highly likely that Ian wouldn't be seen as the one who did it.

The reason was simple:

There was no enmity between him and Artorius on the surface, and the two had walked around the city very intimately earlier.

How could it be that, when bringing him up to the city wall, knowing that only the two of them were there, Ian would push him off?

Moreover, Morgan would certainly protect him.

Even if Artorius's father and brother came looking for him later, Ian could cover it up with an accident.

This would be easier to deal with than letting him die on a deserted street.

It could be said that this was the most certain method.

But—

Looking at Artorius's excited back, Ian felt that his hand couldn't draw the sword from its sheath.

He knew that killing Artorius was the safest and most certain choice for Morgan.

[You rarely hesitate like this.]

[Though only a few seconds passed, it felt like a century.]

[You feel your confidence wavering.]

[You realize this isn't right; it's disloyalty to Morgan.]

[You snap back to your senses and prepare to act.]

[But something unexpected happens at this moment.]

[You see the two bricks that Artorius had used to brace himself loosening slightly, and then, the wall crumbles and collapses.]

[You realize the city wall had been damaged from years of neglect.]

[Artorius, just as you had hoped, fell from the city wall, and it was a perfect accident.]

[Now you have two choices: rush to save Artorius immediately, or stand by and wait for the result you need.]
