In the morning...
"M-mmm..." Merlin groaned softly as he slowly opened his heavy eyelids.
What greeted him was the beautiful, soothing morning light.
"What an amazing day," he murmured with a faint smile.
He got up, stretching his stiff body, then walked toward the bathroom to wash up.
Ten minutes later, he came out looking refreshed and energized.
Stepping toward the sofa, he sat down and crossed his legs like a young boss enjoying life.
"Good morning, system," he greeted playfully.
"[Ding! Good morning, Master! You seem happier this morning. Are you looking forward to checking your rewards?]"
"Tsk! You know me best. Well, without further ado, take out all my rewards!" Merlin snapped his fingers.
"[Ding! The rewards for increasing the heroine Margaret's affection to the fullest are issued! Rewards: 1x Ring of the King's Crown (Legendary) and 30,000 System Points have been given!]"
