"C-Can we stop now? I'm seriously going to be drained dry at this rate."
Asher lay on the floor, gazing at the gradually dimming sky. The setting sun shone on his sweat-soaked face, his soft bangs clinging to his forehead as if a slight squeeze would make water drip.
Were these three not conspiring? Training him consecutively like this. Fortunately, he had the White Dragon's recovery ability; otherwise, even breathing would probably be difficult.
"She looks like a promising talent," Scathach remarked, her gaze falling on Artoria, who was resting not far away.
"Of course! Lily was destined to become King Arthur, after all. How could she not have some strength?" Morgan Le Fay smiled, her eyes falling on the young man panting on the floor.
"But in the end, he still became Arthur."
Scathach's gaze shifted from Artoria and quickly landed on Asher. After a brief thought, she said, "He seems to be living a fulfilling life here."
"Of course. After all, being a King involves many duties, but I've had people take on as many as possible," Morgan Le Fay glanced at Scathach. "Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he suddenly quit someday."
"Preparing in advance, I see..." Scathach mused.
"It almost feels like he's a puppet emperor."
"A puppet?" Morgan chuckled. "If I could, I'd truly want him to be a puppet emperor, letting my people handle everything so he wouldn't get too tired... But unfortunately, that's impossible. That fellow isn't that docile."
"Always tinkering with random things; that's my apprentice's personality." Scathach wasn't surprised. She had heard earlier that Artoria was preparing metal. Clearly, her apprentice was planning to tinker with something again.
"Apprentice?" Morgan Le Fay repeated, giving Scathach a deep look.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with what I said?" Scathach asked.
"Hmm... I think there might be a problem?" Morgan Le Fay mused for a moment, looking at Asher panting on the ground not far away, and slowly said, "I've never seen a Shishou kiss her apprentice before."
Scathach's usual composure finally receded a bit. Soon, a dangerous smile appeared on her face, "Peeping isn't a good habit, Princess Morgan."
"It was just an accidental glimpse, really," Morgan smiled. "But I think I can use this to negotiate with you, perhaps threaten you into doing something?"
As she finished speaking, she leaned close to Scathach's shoulder, exhaling a sweet breath. "What do you think?"
"You won't get any benefits from me," Scathach shook her head. "Give up."
"That's not necessarily true," Morgan Le Fay said faintly. "If one day Asher brings me to meet you, wouldn't it be troublesome if you didn't acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law?"
Scathach: "..."
Scathach was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond to this shameless woman. If the conversation continued, she might be tempted to impale this goddess of death with her GĂĄe Bolg.
She looked towards Uathach and Guinevere, who had entered the dueling arena at some point.
Morgan followed Scathach's gaze, her eyes slightly hardening.
"Are you alright? Do you want some water?" Guinevere uncorked a waterskin and handed it to Asher, a gentle smile on her face.
"Thank you, but I can't get up just yet. Just wait... wait a moment," Asher replied, panting.
"Is that so..." Guinevere thought for a moment, then, supporting Asher by the shoulder, slowly helped him sit up. She then held the waterskin to his mouth.
"Now you can drink, right?" Noticing Asher's surprised gaze, Guinevere smiled shyly, watching Asher drink several gulps of water as if he were a person lost in the desert who had found water.
She raised her hand and wiped the water overflowing from the corner of his mouth, seemingly not caring if her clothes would get dirty.
"Thank you," Asher said gratefully.
"It's just a small thing, no need to thank me," Guinevere said with a smile.
At this moment, Uathach, who was beside them, had already raised her finger and skillfully began healing Asher. After observing for a while, Artoria also raised her finger, drawing a Rune to heal Asher.
Guinevere, supporting herself with her hands on her knees, semi-squatted nearby, smilingly observing the three. Seeing the Runes released by the two girls, she blinked, her eyes full of curiosity.
"What is this? Can you tell me?" Guinevere asked.
"Rune Magic. To put it simply, you can think of it as magic," Asher said succinctly.
"I see... It seems very powerful," Guinevere nodded gently.
"To be honest, it is quite powerful... but we aren't very proficient with it. Currently, only Shishou uses it best, I suppose," Asher shook his head.
"It's natural to have a gap compared to your teacher. Rather, if you wanted to catch up to your teacher so quickly, the Queen of the Land of Shadows wouldn't have become your teacher, would she?" Guinevere said with a comforting smile.
"That's true..." Asher nodded softly, silently waiting for the two to finish their healing.
"That child... is very dangerous," Morgan Le Fay said after observing Guinevere for a while.
If she had to say, Guinevere was probably the most dangerous person after Scathach. Her gentle personality and unintentional displays of care made her a perfect goddess for an inexperienced child like Asher.
Scathach was silent. Although she didn't speak, she gave Guinevere a deep look.
It wasn't just because of Guinevere's previous actions, but because she could feel that something seemed to be lurking within Guinevere... This girl gave off a divine and pure feeling at first glance. Scathach had felt this way when she first saw Guinevere, but initially thought it was an illusion.
But now, it seemed this wasn't an illusion, but an intuition...
Just as she thought of this, Asher had recovered quite a bit under the healing of the two Runes. Although his drained stamina and magical energy wouldn't fully recover so quickly, he could at least move now.
He got up from the ground, stretched his muscles, thanked the two, then looked up at the sky, which had darkened at some point.
"Let's go, it's almost time for dinner."
