"My Shishou is coming now?" In the hall, Asher's expression slightly stiffened after hearing Morgan Le Fay's words. Why would Shishou choose this exact time to come...?
"Are you alright? You look a bit pale." Morgan's gaze passed over Artoria and fell on Asher. Her tone sounded very concerned, but for some reason, Asher felt that she seemed to be subtly anticipating something.
In fact, Asher's feeling was correct. Morgan Le Fay was indeed looking forward to Scathach's arrival now. No, she should be looking forward to "Mom's" arrival. Of course, Morgan Le Fay wasn't so foolish as to say anything inappropriate in front of Lily and Asher, even though she really wanted to say to that woman upon her arrival: "Mom, your disciple is so useful."
However, she could still endure it a bit longer. Such words could be said later, after some time, after all, if she had a first time with Asher, a second time wouldn't be difficult. Morgan Le Fay was still very confident in her charm. Then, once the situation completely stabilized, she could go to the Land of Shadows to propose marriage. The only thing that truly bothered Morgan Le Fay was probably the girl beside her.
Remembering that a sister might have been squatting outside the door last night, Morgan Le Fay felt a headache, and her previously very happy mood significantly subsided.
"Sister Morgan, Sister Morgan!" Asher's voice pulled Morgan Le Fay back to reality.
"What's wrong?" Morgan Le Fay asked.
"You just said my Shishou has entered the territory of Britain, is that true?" Asher asked. For some reason, seeing the expression on Asher's face, Morgan Le Fay inexplicably felt like laughing.
"Why would I joke with you about something like that?" Asher felt his brain go "buzz," completely blank. Shishou really came?! Although he had indeed decided to take responsibility for Morgan, he still needed some time to mentally prepare, right?!
"If you don't want to see her, I can meet her in your stead later, you know?" Morgan said with concern.
"I'll do it myself..." Asher's voice held a hint of bitterness. Letting those two be alone, who knew what might happen.
"Are you planning to conceal it?" Morgan Le Fay suddenly asked.
She was naturally referring to what happened last night. Asher's mouth was slightly open, but he didn't know how to answer. He didn't intend to hide it, but he couldn't bring himself to say it until he was mentally prepared.
It's not like he could just tell his Shishou: "Shishou, I want to marry Sister Morgan, is that okay?"
At this point, there would probably be two possibilities: one, his Shishou would righteously eliminate him with a spear, or two, she would be utterly disappointed in him, turn around, leave the Land of Shadows, and never see him again. ...Neither was acceptable.
Was there no better way to handle it? Asher rubbed his forehead in distress, his peripheral vision inadvertently falling on Artoria. Speaking of which, Lily is really quiet today. He felt that his and Morgan Le Fay's conversation just now should sound very abstract to outsiders, but Artoria didn't seem curious at all, as if she wasn't interested in anything around her. Usually, when he chatted with Morgan, Lily would occasionally interject, but today she didn't even speak.
Did Lily really notice?
It shouldn't be... After all, she had always been uninterested in most things around her. Just as Asher thought this, he saw Artoria stand up and walk towards the main entrance.
"Lily, where are you going?" Asher snapped back to reality, trying to call out to her.
"Going out to see if your Shishou has arrived." After saying that, Artoria stepped out of the hall, but before leaving, she cast one last glance at Asher behind her.
"It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to talk to Lily." Morgan Le Fay watched Artoria's disappearing figure, muttering thoughtfully.
"Was Lily really outside last night?" Asher whispered. For some reason, he felt a vague sense of guilt.
"It's pretty much confirmed it was her," Morgan Le Fay said. "But there's no need to be too nervous; this is something we'll have to face sooner or later. After all, if you want a monogamous relationship, you still need Lily's consent."
Is Sister Morgan seriously thinking about such things? Just as Asher felt a little speechless, he noticed Morgan Le Fay raising her eyes to examine him.
"Sister Morgan, is something wrong?" Feeling uncomfortable under Morgan's gaze, Asher had to speak, trying to divert her attention.
"Nothing, I just find it quite interesting," Morgan said with a smile. "Do you remember what you said this morning?"
"I know... I'll take responsibility for you." Asher nodded, pausing slightly as he said this. "But I also need some time to prepare myself."
"Time to prepare?" Morgan Le Fay savored the phrase, then chuckled carelessly, "Why not just tell your Shishou directly?"
Asher shook his head helplessly. If it were that simple, he wouldn't be so troubled.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Tell your Shishou whenever you've made up your mind. Until then, I'll keep silent," Morgan suddenly said. Asher looked up at Morgan with slight surprise, only to see a charming smile on Morgan's face: "How about it, aren't you grateful to big sister? And surprised?"
"Yes... honestly, a little surprised," Asher admitted frankly. He had thought Morgan Le Fay would straightforwardly confront his Shishou, but he didn't expect her to consider things from his perspective. Is this still the Morgan Le Fay I know?
"Oh my, your expression right now is like saying, 'This isn't the Sister Morgan I know.' Should I tell your Shishou the truth when I see her later?" Morgan's teasing words echoed in Asher's ear.
Asher quickly shook his head, "Thank you."
"A simple word of thanks shows absolutely no sincerity," Morgan Le Fay only smiled and shook her head, placing her slender white finger on Asher's shoulder, "Come find me tonight~ That's enough compensation."
"Is that okay?" Morgan's gentle voice made him feel as if his heart was melting. Is this considered compensation...?
Asher couldn't help but wonder as he nodded.
"But this time we'll have to change locations. If Lily finds out again, even I'd be embarrassed," Morgan added. She had no interest in being watched throughout such an activity. Lily? Asher felt a headache remembering Artoria's reaction to him today.
"King Arthur, the Queen of the Land of Shadows requests an audience at the entrance." At that moment, a voice came from outside the hall. Asher was startled from his thoughts, feeling much more alert. Morgan Le Fay turned to look at the entrance, a hint of excitement in her smile, as if she were looking forward to Scathach's arrival.
Asher subconsciously glanced at Morgan Le Fay, but at this point, he could only brace himself and say, "Please invite her in."
Not long after this message was relayed, Scathach walked into the hall. Seeing his Shishou, whom he had missed for so long, again, Asher inexplicably felt a sense of apology.
"Shishou,"
Asher stood up and spoke. Scathach looked Asher over a few times, then walked up to him, a gentle smile on her face, "You've matured quite a bit since before. Good. It seems your training here has been very beneficial."
"Matured?" Before Asher could speak, Morgan Le Fay behind him repeated Scathach's words, a hint of amusement in her smile. Asher's heart skipped a beat.
Can't you just keep quiet right now, Sister Morgan?!
"You haven't encountered anything here, have you?" But fortunately, Scathach ignored Morgan Le Fay's words and looked down at Asher, asking.
"Nothing really... Why do you ask so suddenly?" Asher cautiously observed Scathach's expression.
"Last night in the Land of Shadows, I felt a sense of unease, so I came to check. It's good that nothing is wrong." Scathach paused here, then continued, "I heard about that rumor when I entered Camelot earlier... was it the work of the foreign tribes?" Even Shishou heard this news? It seems it has really spread far and wide.
Asher nodded.
"Please don't worry about this; I will handle it." He suddenly paused as he said this. If he followed yesterday's plan, wouldn't he be returning to the Land of Shadows afterward?
What about Sister Morgan?
Running back to the Land of Shadows the day after being with Morgan... wouldn't that make him a complete scoundrel?!
"I trust your abilities." Scathach seemed not to notice Asher's slightly strange expression. Her gaze subtly drifted towards Morgan Le Fay.
"However, the one who tricked you into pulling the Caliburn seems quite leisurely now." Just one sentence, yet it was like a sharp blade piercing directly into Morgan Le Fay's heart, causing her previous smile to recede significantly.
When Morgan Le Fay brought Asher to pull the Caliburn, she implicitly took on the responsibility of protecting Asher. After all, Asher had been carefree in the Land of Shadows before, but such things happened after Morgan Le Fay forcibly brought him here. Although Asher wouldn't say anything or blame her, for Morgan herself, it was as if a "dereliction of duty" label had been stuck on her.
Asher was carefree in the Land of Shadows, but suffered grievances after coming to Britain... didn't that make it seem as if she was inferior to Scathach? One could say that Scathach's simple sentence instantly cooled the atmosphere in the hall. Morgan Le Fay's face also darkened considerably at Scathach's words, but after glancing at Asher beside her, her expression immediately brightened significantly.
She looked Scathach over a few times, then smiled calmly, uttering two words lightly:
"Sore loser."
Scathach's brows furrowed slightly, but she maintained her aloof Shishou image, casually glancing at Morgan.
"Indeed, a sore loser."
Morgan's breathing hitched for a moment. After a shallow breath, her face returned to its usual calm smile, and she did not reply. She simply met Scathach's gaze.
As their two cold gazes met, the air seemed to be filled with gunpowder. Asher glanced left and right, cold sweat unknowingly trickling down his back. His mouth was slightly open, but he never found the courage to speak. He always felt that if he spoke at this moment, the animosity between the two would immediately shift to him.
"King Arthur"
Just then, Agravain's voice suddenly came from outside the hall. He then stepped into the hall, and upon seeing the scene inside, he suddenly froze. Scathach stood to Asher's left, Morgan Le Fay to his other side, and King Arthur seemed to be at a loss. Morgan Le Fay turned her icy gaze from Scathach to Agravain, and Scathach also casually glanced at him.
Asher's heart leaped with joy,
"Lord Agravain, is something the matter? Come in and speak." As Agravain stepped into the hall, his expression seemed hesitant. He looked up, subtly surveying the hall, and suddenly felt a chilling murderous intent envelop him.
Morgan Le Fay looked up at Agravain and said softly, "Standing is so tiring, why don't you sit, Agravain."
Her voice sounded very gentle, but it made Agravain feel a pounding in his heart he had never experienced before.
He turned to Asher and said,
"King Arthur, I've thought about it carefully, and it's not a very important matter. I'll report to you later when you're free." After saying that, Agravain slowly retreated, and then, after turning around, immediately quickened his pace and disappeared from the hall.
Agravain, what are you doing, Agravain?! Aren't you my Knight of the Round Table?! Why are you running faster than the King?! Asher shouted in his heart.
"What an interesting child," Scathach said, looking at Agravain's disappearing figure, and smiled faintly.
"I think your disciple is much more interesting," Morgan followed with a smile.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, very interesting."
Seeing the atmosphere, which had just barely eased, seemingly fill with gunpowder again, Asher had to bite the bullet and interrupt their conversation:
"Um... Shishou, when you had that premonition of crisis last night, could it have been a crisis for yourself, rather than a crisis for me?"
"Me?" Scathach shook her head, "That's probably impossible. On the contrary, if it truly were a crisis for myself, it would be a good experience."
"You're truly confident in your abilities," Morgan said.
"If one lacks confidence in oneself, one cannot accomplish anything," Scathach replied calmly.
After saying this, she glanced at Asher again,
"But the fact that you can consider my situation means you've thought a lot. It seems you've really improved a lot." Scathach's face showed a satisfied smile, "But then again, in the Land of Shadows, I would usually handle most things in advance, whereas here, there will indeed be more pressure."
Morgan's eyelids twitched slightly, then she nodded slightly, "Hmm, indeed, he will face considerable pressure here, but he can generally resolve difficulties correctly. He truly improves quickly." Scathach looked at Morgan with a slight surprise, seemingly not expecting her to actually agree with her.
"And he's very eager to learn, too," Morgan Le Fay said slowly, "He learns whatever I teach him, fully demonstrating a desire to learn new knowledge.
Sometimes, he even works hard at learning in the middle of the night."
Under Scathach's gaze, Morgan Le Fay slightly tilted her head, revealing a charming smile. "Your disciple is truly great."
