The knighting ceremony ultimately concluded smoothly. However, King Marco's meticulously planned scheme was completely disrupted by the mysterious projection that Asher manifested.
Apparently, King Marco had somehow learned that Asher was the White Dragon and had even invited a Druid for a final decisive blow against Asher.
But he never expected that what emerged from Asher's blood would be a person, not a White Dragon. Because of this, all his plans failed, and the pawn, Duke Bel, was wasted.
The only thing King Marco was grateful for was that neither King Arthur nor Morgan Le Fay had come looking for him, especially since King Arthur seemed to leave in a frantic hurry, looking quite flustered. Although he really wanted to secretly follow him, there were too many unexpected events today, making him hesitant to cause any more disturbances.
"Mother, do you have any orders?"
On the afternoon of the knighting ceremony, Agravain received Morgan's command and now stood before her. He stood silently in the shadows, head bowed, and even the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy in the evening twilight.
"You should know what I mean." Morgan turned and calmly gazed at Agravain.
Agravain hesitated for a moment. "King Marco is constantly protected by excellent guards. It might not be easy to approach him"
"Don't rush to act yet. I just want you to monitor his movements, after all... he's still useful for resisting the foreign tribes for now." Morgan interrupted Agravain.
Agravain nodded, then hesitated for another moment, appearing as if he wanted to ask something but wasn't sure if he should.
"You have doubts you wish to ask me?" Morgan noticed Agravain's hesitation.
"May I ask?" Agravain asked.
Morgan nodded. "No."
Agravain, who was about to speak, fell into a brief silence.
Are you crazy?! If not, why did you nod?! This is thanks to the serious Agravain; if it were anyone else, they would probably be complaining like that.
"Why don't you act, Mother?" Agravain finally couldn't suppress the doubt in his heart. From a long time ago, Agravain knew how strong his mother was. If it were her, even with powerful mages protecting King Marco, she could probably eliminate him without anyone knowing.
"I have more important matters to attend to and cannot leave. And... eliminating a person isn't necessarily the greatest punishment for them." Morgan paused. "In short, you just need to do as I instruct."
"Yes..." Agravain bowed his head and turned to leave. It wasn't until Agravain had left that Morgan Le Fay turned to look in a certain direction, precisely where Scathach and Asher were. She wasn't just making excuses to Agravain; she genuinely had more important matters to handle now. Compared to what was happening over there, everything else seemed so insignificant.

The sky transformed from twilight into a deep sapphire blue, and the evening breeze swept through the narrow garden path, tousling Asher's hair. Scathach's reddish-purple hair fluttered gently in the wind as she strolled through the garden, remaining silent throughout.
If nothing unexpected happened, Scathach would be returning tomorrow. Normally, Asher would be immersed in the emotional farewell between Shishou and disciple.
However, for some reason, he felt that something was off today. What exactly was the problem? Asher walked beside Scathach, cautiously observing his Shishou's expression. Although Scathach outwardly appeared as calm as ever, her clear red eyes filled with serenity, Asher couldn't shake a strange feeling of incongruity.
He wondered if it was just him, or if everyone experienced this sometimes, after knowing someone well for a long time, even without speaking, one could sense shifts in the atmosphere. Normally, the atmosphere between Shishou and disciple at this time should be relaxed, but tonight, their surroundings were infused with a certain chill. Could it simply be because of King Marco's slander?
If it was about that, wasn't Shishou's innocence already proven, and King Marco had also confessed that he had misunderstood Scathach and formally apologized?
"Shishou, what exactly was that figure projected today?
Do you have any idea?" After this atmosphere persisted for nearly ten minutes, Asher finally couldn't bear it any longer and broke the silence.
Scathach merely glanced at Asher before looking away, shaking her head and saying, "I don't know. It's my first time seeing it too."
"Is that so? I thought Shishou would know something," Asher's tone carried a hint of regret, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Good, Shishou was still willing to talk to him, which meant she shouldn't be particularly angry.
"That woman should know something. Didn't she mention it before?" Scathach's footsteps slowed considerably as she spoke. Under Asher's perplexed gaze, she said casually,
"I think your Sister Morgan probably knows something."
Asher couldn't help but be taken aback. My Sister Morgan? Why does that sound so strange?
"What, isn't she your Sister Morgan?" Scathach observed Asher, who was deep in thought, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"She should be half your teacher, too, right? Something like a mentor and friend."
"...That's true," Asher nodded, deliberately slowing his pace.
"But Sister Morgan might not know the true identity of that projection, right? If she knew, she should have said so already." Asher rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment. "But she told me it was fine to boldly accept the inspection then, so she must have seen something."
"Yes, she does know something," Scathach nodded. "Her strength is on par with mine. I've lived with you for so long and never knew what was hidden in your body, but Morgan discovered it."
"Because she's a goddess, she's more sensitive to magic, perhaps," Asher attempted to analyze, but saw Scathach shake her head.
"I could have noticed it much earlier..." Scathach muttered to herself, as if in a low voice. As she finished, she looked up at the distant sky.
After a long pause, she looked at the young man beside her with complex eyes. After being stared at so intensely by Scathach for a long time, Asher felt increasingly guilty for some reason, though he didn't know what he was guilty about.
Could it be that Shishou already knows about me and Sister Morgan? Sister Morgan isn't the kind of person who would talk about such things; there's no way she would say something like that. Moreover, if Shishou knew, her reaction wouldn't be so calm.
As for why he felt guilty now... it was probably just a simple apology to Shishou after doing that kind of thing with Morgan earlier?
"Is Shishou troubled by something? If there's any difficulty, I can help." He was so uncomfortable being stared at by Scathach that Asher had no choice but to speak, trying to divert Scathach's gaze.
Scathach merely gazed at Asher, and after a long pause, she finally spoke:
"Disciple, you said before that you like your Shishou, right?"
Looking at Scathach's exquisite face and those terrifying, Valkyrie-like red eyes, Asher nodded without hesitation.
"What do you like?" Scathach suddenly asked. Asher was stunned.
What did Shishou mean by that?
"Oh, asking you that way might be a bit too abstract?" Scathach said thoughtfully,
"Then let me rephrase it."
"Do you like me, or do you like my body?"
