"In the end, it's just a King of the Moon, there's really no need for me to get angry over it."
As she finished speaking, Morgan raised a hand and tied her loose platinum-white hair into twin tails. A faint smile surfaced at the corner of her lips.
"If the boy I liked were some annoying guy that no one of the opposite sex ever liked, that would give me a headache too."
Alvin: "..."
'Why does it feel like, after this trip, Big Sis has kind of awakened some special XP or something?'
After chatting idly for a bit, a sense of danger slowly rose from the depths of Alvin's heart.
"I'm saying, how about you switch to another place to hide for now. I mean, lie low for a bit, and come find me again after I'm done with my stuff?"
Although he didn't know exactly what Arcueid was busy with right now, it was safe to assume that once she finished what she was doing, she would come see him immediately.
If she were to see the scene in this room right now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, the more he said this, the less hurried Morgan seemed to be.
"Why should I hide? The King of the Moon herself said she'd invite me to the wedding when the time comes. Since that's the case, coming to the Millennium Castle early to have a look around doesn't seem like a problem, does it?"
'That's what you say, but do you really think Arcueid would find your words convincing if she walked in on this scene right now,' Alvin chose silence.
At this very moment, on this extravagant white bed, an enchanting, seductive beauty was holding the boy in her arms. The pressure against his face made it hard to breathe.
The dress Morgan wore today perfectly accentuated her already sexy figure, and coupled with the faint, elegant fragrance that came from being pressed tightly against her, it made one feel as though they were in heaven itself. From soul to body, Alvin could feel an indescribable temptation.
With his face pressed against the grandeur of Morgan's chest and the delicate texture of her skin, his emotions grew complicated for a moment.
Rationally speaking, he should push Morgan away right now and tell her to leave as soon as possible. But he had a certain brother who very much hoped Morgan would stay.
'But, if Arcueid saw this scene, she'd probably explode on the spot.'
Morgan clearly noticed something. The corner of her lips curved slightly, her long, fair fingers gently touching the boy's face, caressing it tenderly as she said in a sultry voice, "Do you want me to leave right now?"
"There's no one else here anyway. Don't you feel like doing something?"
It really was Morgan le Fay. She had a frighteningly clear grasp of the human heart, and with ease she seized Alvin's desires.
She pressed her red lips together slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with intoxication and tenderness.
"And just like I said earlier, even if the King of the Moon were here, she wouldn't be able to say anything. After all, our relationship, she probably knows better than anyone."
Alvin finally snapped back to his senses. His face was full of helplessness as he said in a low voice,
"Morgan, this isn't about who came first or later. This is the Millennium Castle."
'In this place, the 'Lord of the Island' couldn't take effect,' That was what truly worried Alvin.
After all, there was more than just one True Ancestor in the Millennium Castle.
Morgan tilted her head slightly.
"Isn't there still you? If something dangerous happens, you'll stand on my side, right?"
Seeing Alvin fall silent, the woman pursed her glossy red lips and smiled sweetly.
"It's fine if you want me to leave, but I have one condition."
'Now you're threatening me too,' Alvin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Say it."
Morgan closed her eyes and lifted her snow-white chin a little.
"Kiss me once, and I'll leave. Don't worry, I might not always keep my promises, but promises I make to you, I usually don't go back on."
'Playing an NTR game in the enemy's lair. In all of Britain, probably only Morgan could pull something like this off.'
And only at this moment did Alvin truly realize that this woman really was a fairy.
Not just a fairy of Avalon, but a fairy that lured people into committing crimes.
"If you don't hurry, I might regret it, you know?", Morgan still had her eyes closed. Her face was pale, her temperament cold and noble.
Yet at this moment, this completely defenseless posture, along with her slightly pursed, full lips, was unbelievably seductive.
This woman was a fusion of human, fairy, and god, so she retained the pure, graceful beauty of Princess Morgan, yet at times gave off a bewitching, seductive fairy-like air. Look closer, and it was as if innocence and allure were intertwined into a unique charm.
She looked very similar to Lily, but at the same time, she was far more sultry, truly worthy of being called Big Sis.
In order to get Morgan to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, Alvin hesitated briefly, then gently kissed her lips and quickly pulled away.
"Hmph! So that's all? Looks like you really are worried about being discovered by the King of the Moon. Or are you worried she might get jealous of our relationship?"
Morgan quietly opened her eyes and glanced at the boy with a hint of grievance. Then her gaze shifted slightly, as if she had suddenly thought of something interesting. She pressed down on the boy's shoulders, pushing him back.
As Alvin fell backward, his hands instinctively pressed against Morgan's waist, his gaze following the movement to look at the woman who had him pinned.
Her beautiful eyes gazed softly at him. Her snow-white skin stood out vividly under the dim light. The contrast between her full, sexy thighs and the black fishnet stockings gave off a crystalline, exquisite texture.
'With stockings on, the feel seems a bit worse...'
As Alvin's hands unconsciously moved downward, his mind blanked slightly, that thought flashing through his head.
Their gazes locked. In the past, Morgan's eyes, no matter who she looked at, were like she was looking at an insect, full of arrogance and cold indifference.
But right now, what he saw in her eyes was a hint of gentleness, and… jealousy.
Yes… she was jealous.
Right now, she could accept Alvin being close with her younger sister, and she could accept Alvin's wedding with the King of the Moon, but the one thing she absolutely couldn't accept was the [First Embrace] mark that the King of the Moon had left on Alvin today.
"Morgan—"
Alvin took a deep breath, trying his best to remain calm as he prepared to lift her off him.
But at that moment, Morgan had already lowered her head first, moving toward the back of Alvin's neck.
At a certain spot on the back of his neck, one could vaguely see an extremely complex 'mark'.
That was the First Embrace mark Arcueid had left on Alvin long ago. It was only when Arcueid tried to give Alvin a First Embrace earlier that the mark finally revealed its true form.
Morgan opened her small mouth and gently kissed that mark.
In the next instant, a warm sensation spread from the spot where the First Embrace mark was.
The mark of the First Embrace seemed to quietly change at that moment.
"..."
Alvin looked at the woman's cold yet stunningly beautiful face before him, and a subtle expression quickly appeared on his face.
Arcueid left a First Embrace mark on him, and Morgan chose to overwrite it with her own trace.
'This woman's jealousy… is really strong.'
Facing Alvin's subtle gaze, Morgan remained silent for a long while. Her red lips left his skin, and she said in a voice filled with satisfaction,
"All right, now I can leave."
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Alvin shook his head.
"Nothing, be careful when you leave."
He finished speaking and was about to see Morgan out of the room, but at that moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
———
Time rewinds to half an hour earlier.
As night fell, two people were riding horses through the darkness.
They were the El-Melloi siblings, Kayneth and Reines.
"The King of the Moon is the Clock Tower's nemesis. She specifically named Alvin as the one she wants to marry. It might be to stir up internal strife within the Clock Tower, or she might have some other purpose. But in any case, this news won't stay hidden for long. We need to go see Barthomeloi ahead of time."
Not long ago, after realizing that Alvin might be in trouble, Kayneth immediately set out and left the royal palace.
In the current Clock Tower, the director was elusive and rarely seen, and the one truly steering the Clock Tower was the Lord of the Department of Law and Politics, Barthomeloi.
As long as they explained things clearly to her, the crisis on Alvin's side could naturally be resolved.
Though Kayneth didn't hold much hope.
After all, Barthomeloi was famous for being unconventional. She had her own views and ideas, and didn't listen to others easily.
Not to mention that this matter involved that lunar UO.
———
Just as Kayneth had initially predicted, the news that the King of the Moon intended to marry Alvin spread through the royal city almost that very night.
Even if the people in Camelot Palace tried to suppress it, the King of the Moon's side could just as easily have the news spread.
Once the news got out, the people of the royal city were shaken, and many began asking: who is Alvin?
Of course, among them were those who knew Alvin's identity, and had even heard the name 'King of the Moon'.
For example, the Clock Tower.
Just as Kayneth had guessed, when the Clock Tower's upper echelon heard this news, they immediately couldn't sit still, especially the Lord of the Department of Law and Politics.
"Marriage, who with who?"
When she received the news, it was as if countless question marks popped up over Barthomeloi's head. For a moment, she even suspected that her ears were malfunctioning.
Ever since the news of a powerful being descending from the Moon spread, she had already vaguely guessed who that being was.
After all, in her understanding, there was only one powerful being living on the Moon.
Arcueid. As the Clock Tower's nemesis, her strength was undeniably terrifying according to historical records. No one had expected that this lunar UO would appear in Britain.
And not long ago, she had even fought a battle with Artoria and Morgan le Fay.
Although up until just now, Barthomeloi still didn't know why that battle had ended without resolution.
'Is it simply fear of those powerful existences in Britain?'
'Or does she have another objective?'
Before this, Barthomeloi had even convened a meeting, where several Lords speculated about Arcueid's purpose.
But no one had expected, 'Arcueid's goal is simply to marry Alvin?'
The Lord of the Department of Spiritual Evocation, Eulyphis, had an uncertain expression. Not long ago, he had just suggested to his disciple Kayneth that Reines be engaged to Alvin, so that Alvin could be tied to their side.
And now look at this, Arcueid had cut in directly.
'That said, how exactly did this kid manage it… running back from the Imaginary Numbers Space on his own?'
Eulyphis's impression of Alvin was still stuck at the banquet held at the British royal palace back then, when Alvin was accidentally exiled to the Imaginary Numbers Space by Merlin.
'Should that be called good luck, or could it be that the kid's magecraft attainments are really that high?'
"Could it be a smokescreen released by the enemy?", the Lord of the Department of Zoology, Gaiuslink, suddenly said in a low voice.
"I'd like to believe it's a smokescreen… but the palace has the same news."
Barthomeloi's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and for the first time, a hint of confusion and doubt appeared on her cold face.
She paused, then continued, "And who do you think would release a smokescreen that sounds like a rumor the moment you hear it?"
If Arcueid really wanted to release a smokescreen, she wouldn't use something like 'marriage', such a fantastical claim that sounded unbelievable at first listen.
In the end, that woman was simply too powerful. In this era, aside from those few in Britain, there was probably no one qualified to fight her.
Arcueid, she didn't need to release any smokescreen at all. With her power, she could already do whatever she wanted.
"But I still can't understand it, why does it have to be him?", Barthomeloi said softly.
The other two Lords also fell into long contemplation.
They still hadn't even sorted out the relationship between the White Dragon and Alvin, and now there was Arcueid on top of that. Just thinking about it gave Barthomeloi a headache, and she couldn't help rubbing her brow.
"If I remember correctly, at that banquet, King Arthur and Morgan le Fay also invited Alvin to dance, right? Even though neither of them ended up dancing with him, it still feels a bit strange," Gaiuslink suddenly said.
Barthomeloi didn't respond.
She had known for a long time that King Arthur and Morgan didn't get along.
At the banquet, she had simply thought that the reason the sisters invited Alvin was because they were competing with each other, neither willing to back down.
Even now, that was still what Barthomeloi believed.
'It can't possibly be that King Arthur and her sister are fighting over a man, right?'
As that absurd thought flashed through her mind, Barthomeloi quickly shook her head with an inward chuckle, brushing away the messy thoughts.
Then, in a low voice, she said, "In any case, after this return, have Alvin come see me."
At this point, even setting aside the matter of the White Dragon and Alvin's relationship, just the fact that the King of the Moon had proactively proposed marriage to Alvin was enough to warrant the entire Clock Tower taking this seriously.
