The next day, the sky was still a gloomy gray. Thick, leaden clouds obscured the sun, and a light drizzle fell, creating an exceptionally tranquil atmosphere.

"That's strange? Where's Agravain? I haven't seen him for two days, it seems." After his usual training session, Asher arrived in the main hall and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Agravain in two days.

"I sent him to do something. He should be back in a few days," Morgan, who was already in the hall as usual, yawned slightly, her gaze falling on Asher. "Oh, by the way, there's something I need to ask you."

"Just tell me directly." Asher's gaze was fixed on the main entrance, seemingly waiting for a certain figure to enter the hall. Shishou usually arrived very early, but why today... was she still sleeping? Asher couldn't help but wonder.

"Last night... besides you and Lily, did you take anyone else to my room?" Morgan's voice pulled Asher back to reality.

"No, why would I take anyone else into your room?"

Asher said, slightly puzzled. "Did something happen?"

"I don't know if it's my imagination," Morgan toyed with the dazzling medal in her hand, "but I keep feeling like the room is strange, like it doesn't belong to me."

"Doesn't belong to you...?"

Morgan nodded. "I usually fold my quilt and place it at the head of the bed, but just now, when I went back to get some materials for a new potion, I found the quilt had a few more wrinkles. Also, I usually leave the drawer slightly ajar, but just now I found it was tightly shut."

"And," Morgan gazed into Asher's eyes, "the arrangement and position of the potions are also off." "I remember the color order of those seemingly chaotic arrangements."

For some reason, under Morgan Le Fay's serious gaze, Asher felt completely seen through. Even though he hadn't done anything, he felt inexplicably guilty under Morgan's eyes.

So scary... Sister Morgan is terrifying when she's serious.

Just those tiny details, and Morgan remembered them so clearly.

"I accidentally knocked over the potions last night, so I helped put them back. Sorry," Asher apologized. Morgan didn't speak, just stared at Asher. After a brief gaze, she suddenly smiled, "So that's it. Don't worry, I'm not suspecting you. Besides, even if you secretly sneaked into my room, I wouldn't say anything... Oh, if you secretly sneak into my room at night, I'd be very welcoming." "I'll give you an adult's reward, you know."

Morgan's tone sounded like she was joking, but her eyes seemed to hold no hint of humor. Without giving Asher a chance to speak, she continued to ask, "I just want to ask you now, regarding what I just said, did you see anyone suspicious pass by when you went to train this morning?" Asher looked up, recalled carefully, then shook his head, "Too many people, hard to say."

This was a palace, after all. Maids passed by every day, as did administrative staff, and so on. Although Asher's room was deeper within the palace, it was not impossible for someone to sneak into Morgan's room.

"By the way, didn't you say it's hard to leave your room once you're in?" Asher suddenly remembered this. "Did someone break your magic?"

"I think that's unlikely." Morgan gently tapped her finger on the armrest of the chair. "If someone truly broke my magic, I would definitely notice. So, the person can probably enter and exit my room freely. I've told you before, only two people can do that."

"Me and Lily?" Asher asked. Morgan nodded gently.

"That's not right..." Asher suddenly thought of something.

"Since I can enter and exit the room freely, why couldn't I open the door last night?"

Morgan's gaze remained unchanged. She said faintly, "Perhaps the magic spell suddenly malfunctioned. The point we need to focus on now isn't that, but who entered my room."

"Can magic spells malfunction that easily?" Asher grumbled.

"Even I make mistakes sometimes," Morgan said.

Asher kept the truthfulness of Morgan's words to himself for now, looking at her and asking, "So, you suspect it was either me or Lily who entered your room when you left?"

"I told you, I trust you two. Besides, if you wanted something, would I not give it to you?" Morgan shook her head.

Asher thought for a moment. "Was anything stolen? Like your refined potions or something?"

"Not that I've found yet." Morgan shook her head.

"Everything's fine, but whether the amount of potions has decreased, I'm not sure yet, after all, I wasted quite a bit secretly preparing potions last night" Morgan's voice suddenly stopped.

Under Asher's bewildered gaze, she lightly coughed.

"Anyway, if you find any clues, tell me. If I catch the culprit, I'll definitely lock them in the magic workshop as a lab rat!"

As Morgan finished speaking, her eyes held a cold sharpness. This woman was never one to make empty threats. If she truly caught the culprit, one could easily imagine their miserable end without much imagination.

I hope that person doesn't seek death by going to Morgan's room again... otherwise, no one would be able to save them.

Looking at the coldness in Morgan Le Fay's eyes, Asher's heart involuntarily tightened. Come to think of it, if nothing was stolen, what did that person go to Sister Morgan's room for?

Asher gazed at the light rain outside the window, his

thoughts drifting.

"Arthur, may I come in?" At that moment, a gentle voice came from the doorway. From the voice, it was clear that this person was Guinevere.

"Come in," Asher said. Guinevere walked into the hall, her beautiful face coming into view.

"This is a true princess," Morgan muttered softly to herself. Guinevere always seemed like a true princess, in a flowing white dress, with a gentle smile on her face, elegant and graceful.

However, today, Guinevere's smile seemed to carry a hint of worry. After entering the hall, she looked up at Asher and said, "Arthur, have you seen Lily?"

"Lily's gone?" Asher was puzzled. "Could she be training with my Shishou?"

These past two days, Scathach often trained with Artoria. Scathach frankly said that Artoria was much more diligent than Asher, her admiration evident in her words, which initially caused Asher a great sense of crisis. But then he remembered his goal wasn't to be a disciple, so his sense of crisis immediately disappeared.

"I'm not sure. I haven't seen Miss Scathach either. As for Lily, I've checked her room and the training ground, but I haven't seen her," Guinevere said, looking worried. "That's why I came here to check."

Asher and Morgan exchanged glances, then thought for a moment. "First, send people to search the garden. She sometimes trains there... By the way, did you see Lily when you woke up this morning? Or did she disappear very early?"

"I saw her when I woke up this morning, but I haven't seen her since," Guinevere nodded gently.

"Did she say anything to you?"

Guinevere thought for a moment, then quickly shook her head. "She didn't say anything strange... Oh, wait, there was something quite strange, actually."

"What is it?" Asher asked.

"She asked me if I knew how to make fish soup."

"Make... make fish soup?" Had Lily finally grown tired of three meals a day and decided to learn how to cook?

Boom!

At that moment, a rumble suddenly came from afar. It wasn't thunder, but a flash of golden light. Morgan looked in that direction and muttered to herself: "What on earth is Lily up to?"

"I'll go check it out." Asher stood up as he spoke and walked towards the direction of the earlier rumble. From the direction, it seemed to be the seaside? What was she doing at the seaside in this rainy weather? Asher couldn't help but wonder.
