Asher awoke from his daze, got up, and opened the door.
Before him stood a somewhat lifeless-looking man. "Sir Agravain, it's been a while since I've seen you," Asher observed the man before him.
Hmm... it has been a while, probably several days.
"King Arthur." Agravain bowed, secretly glancing at Morgan. He didn't know why, but he felt like his mother was glaring at him. Regardless, he had to report what he had scouted at King Marco's place recently. Fortunately, he had run into King Arthur's Shishou on the way, otherwise he wouldn't have known his mother was protecting King Arthur's safety. Agravain thought with some relief.
Morgan took a shallow breath and slowly exhaled. "Just say what you need to say directly. King Arthur has the right to know about that matter."
"Are you talking about King Marco?" Asher asked, not surprised. He had a premonition when Agravain disappeared two days ago. After all, at the knighting ceremony, King Marco had clearly intended to target him.
Given Morgan's personality, it wasn't strange for her to send someone.
Agravain's face showed hesitation. "From the disappointment written on your face, I assume you failed?" Morgan stared into Agravain's eyes.
"I tried to find opportunities outside the city for several days, but all of them failed without exception. The other party was already on alert, with barriers set up all around. I was detected as soon as I entered the city, and I also saw two guards, no weaker than a Knight of the Round Table, guarding King Marco." Agravain lowered his head deeply. Although it was unavoidable, a failure was a failure, and anything more was just an excuse.
"A barrier that cannot be easily entered?" Morgan
murmured. "It seems the other party had already anticipated our movements." "Alright, you can go back first. I'll send someone to continue monitoring that area," she said, looking up quickly. The evening hours were precious.
But Agravain did not leave. He stood at the door, his face grim, and said, "Mother, if needed, I can also stay to protect the King's safety." Agravain felt that since the previous mission had failed, it was necessary to make up for it here, for example, by guarding King Arthur tonight.
"No need, I am enough here. You've traveled extensively and are tired, so go and rest well first," Morgan said lightly.
"Actually, I'm not that tired, and it's still early"
"Go rest first. There's a new mission for you tomorrow."
Morgan interrupted Agravain. She felt like she was losing her patience. If Asher wasn't right there and she needed to maintain the image of a gentle older sister, she probably wouldn't have been able to control her temper.
"But" Agravain hesitated. Could it be that because of the failed mission, Mother has lost confidence in him?
Morgan's eyelid twitched slightly, and she slowly stood up. For some reason, Agravain suddenly felt a chill down his spine in that instant. But fortunately, at that moment, Asher timely grabbed Morgan's hand and looked at Agravain at the door: "You may withdraw now, Sir Agravain. Get a good rest tonight." Hearing Asher's words, Agravain immediately nodded: "Then I shall withdraw."
Watching Agravain leave, Morgan immediately stood up and closed the door, then slowly exhaled. Asher also shook his head helplessly. Perhaps next time, I'll have to talk to Agravain a bit and make him at least understand how to read the room.
"He's truly a child who doesn't understand how to read the room," Morgan re-gripped Asher's hand, her gaze falling back on his face, her cheek slowly drawing closer.
Asher understood Morgan's intention but didn't refuse. Or rather, even if he refused, it wouldn't make much sense.
Knock, knock. Just as Asher's lips were about to meet hers, another knock came from outside the room. And at this point, Morgan knew that she wouldn't have any opportunities for a while. After all, it was still early, and it was normal for others to come check on them. I should wait until later... Yes, after night falls!
Asher opened the door. The person standing at the doorway was Guinevere. She was wearing a pure white dress, her fingers resting uneasily on her chest, and she raised her moist eyes. "Arthur, how did it go?" Asher shook his head. There was no need to hide this; after all, one glance would tell whether he got the Sword of the Lake.
"I see." Guinevere lowered her head slightly, saying with some self-reproach, "I wish I hadn't come to you last night..."
"Don't say that. If anything, it makes me happy that you thought to come to me for help the first time you encountered difficulty," Asher shook his head. He was telling the truth. The fact that Guinevere immediately thought of him for help when she encountered difficulty indeed made him quite happy. After all, whether in front of Scathach or Morgan, he had always played the role of the protected one. Even Lily didn't need anyone's protection because her strength was comparable to his.
The only person who relied on him was Guinevere.
"Did she refuse you directly?" Guinevere looked up and asked. Since Asher already knew about Vivian, the geis naturally wouldn't activate. Asher's mouth slightly parted, then he gently nodded. If Guinevere knew about the conditions Vivian offered, given this child's kind-hearted nature, she might become distressed and agree to exchange her body for the Sword of the Lake. But speaking of which, why did Vivian want Guinevere's body so much? Asher suddenly thought of this.
"If I'm not mistaken, the conditions Vivian proposed
might be related to Princess Guinevere?" Morgan, sitting at the head of the bed, suddenly said. "That's why you refused Vivian." Asher's expression changed slightly.
Morgan's reaction speed was too fast. Just from that brief conversation and observation, she had deduced this?
"Vivian's unique identity prevents her from easily leaving Avalon. If she wants to be active in this world for a long time, having a body would be more convenient," Morgan said, giving Guinevere a deep look.
"Now that I think about it, she probably wants to permanently acquire a body that can operate in the present world."
"Ash, there's no point in hiding it. If Vivian finds an opportunity to tell Guinevere this someday, the result will be the same, won't it?" Morgan continued, seeing Asher's body stiffen slightly.
"Is what Princess Morgan said true?" Guinevere looked at Asher, whose expression was somewhat off, and asked.
Under the girl's gaze, Asher gently nodded: "She proposed two conditions. That was one of them." Guinevere's eyes flickered slightly, seemingly thinking about something.
"Actually, agreeing to such a condition wouldn't be a problem. She wouldn't use Guinevere's body forever, would she?" Morgan smiled. "Such a condition is a big concession for Vivian."
"Besides that, what other conditions did she propose?"
Morgan asked interestedly. "Take this opportunity to state all the conditions she proposed. We'll pick a more suitable one to accept. If you think exchanging Guinevere isn't good, you can consider agreeing to her other condition."
Morgan said again: "The power of the Sword of the Lake far exceeds your imagination. Making a small sacrifice for it is quite reasonable."
"If I marry her, she can also give me the Sword of the Lake," Asher said softly.
"..." Morgan's smile gradually froze.
