"..."

Ian was speechless for a moment.

After all, the situation is exactly as Mary said.

After pondering for a moment, the man finally decided to take a gamble - after all, the information Mary had provided was quite useful.

"Okay, let's do it."

[For the next few minutes, you exchanged some "intelligence."]

From Merry's mouth, you and Altria learned what had happened to Camelot during the years you were away.

【And from you, Merry also learned the reason why Guinevere stayed and some of Mordred's origins.】

"This……"

Altria blinked.

"Are you saying that my sister has taken good care of Camelot over the years?"

"Ah."

Mary nodded, then took out a small notebook with all the numbers written on it.

"It started probably the second year after you left—the grain harvest, which was originally poor, has increased year by year. Now, I think we can still eat enough and store a lot of grain for next year."

"As for the military, an expedition was once launched in your name."

"You've conquered quite a bit of territory, and your name has spread even further. It seems you've even accepted tribute from some neighboring countries not long ago."

"..."

Listening to Mary's reports of Morgan's great achievements, Ian was not surprised at all, but instead felt a little more emotional.

Because he knew that the princess he loved was a man of great knowledge and talent.

When they were young, they were still able to dominate the battlefield, let alone this moment when they had been holding back their anger for most of their lives.

This is the performance expected of Morgan, so it's not surprising at all.

only--

Ian subconsciously looked at Altria beside him.

He was a little worried.

After all, the better Morgan does, the more of a irony it becomes to Altria.

she……

It will be sad, right?

however--

The moment the man saw Altria, what caught his eye was a beautiful profile with a smile.

Yes.

She is laughing.

She was genuinely happy for her sister's achievements.

she……

Not angry at all?

Before the man could fully understand what kind of feeling this was, Mordred's voice came from outside.

“So many things—”

"Is there anyone who can help me?!"

Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Artoria reacted almost instantly.

"excuse me."

After making such a brief apology, she quickly walked towards where Mordred was.

Ian wanted to leave, but he didn't expect Mary to hold him back at this time.

"What are you doing?!"

"nothing."

Mary walked to Ian's side, put her arms around the man's neck, and then stood on tiptoe.

"I just want to tell you something—"

"My 'deal' with Altria does indeed end here."

"But……"

The Flower Magician sipped softly on the Knight's neck.

"We haven't got ours yet."

"Come see me tonight...alone—I have something you'll surely want to know."

690. Meili wants to do something exciting/the answer she has been pursuing (4k)

"..."

Ian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized the deeper meaning of Mary's words.

She did tell the truth to herself and to Altria.

but--

Telling the truth doesn't mean telling everything.

She still retained a part of it, enough to be turned into a "bargaining chip" at this moment, waiting for her response.

"It's okay if you don't want to know."

Mary, on the other hand, looked unconcerned.

"Anyway, for me—"

"It doesn't matter whether you know these things or not, but it's different for you."

"If you don't know...it might be more troublesome than you think."

"you……"

Mary's words seemed quite despicable, and she looked like a villain who was using all means to achieve her goals.

But I don’t know why.

Ian vaguely felt that Mary in front of him was a little worried that he would not agree.

After a moment's contemplation, he asked again;

"Are you sure what you have to say is really important?"

"If I don't know, I'll be in a very bad situation?"

"I'm not 100% sure if this will happen."

Mary tilted her head slightly—she always had that tone of voice that was neither affirmative nor negative.

"But what I can confirm for you is..."

"If you could know these things, I think it would be of great benefit to all your subsequent actions."

"This……"

Mary's words more or less moved Ian.

At this moment, Mordred, who had just returned from shopping, came running over happily.

She glanced at Ian, then at Mellie, and then called out sweetly.

"Dad! Aunt Mary! Why don't you come over yet?"

"I bought these things with great difficulty!"

"..."

Almost instantly, Ian felt the air stagnate at that moment.

Obviously, Mellie was once again irritated by Mordred's word "Auntie".

"Indeed."

Merry bent down slightly and touched Mordred's head.

"Coming soon."

"Okay!"

【all in all--】

【You received an "invitation" from Meili tonight. 】

She wasn't in a rush for you to answer immediately—this banquet seemed to be the last moment for you to think.

[Under Mordred's "leadership", you and Mellie "returned" to the banquet.]

【And you also saw some funny and sad scenes. 】

"that--"

Looking at the table full of candies, Ian frowned slightly.

"Lily, why are there so many candies?"

Just as the man wondered.

What was on the table was not the meat that we were supposed to enjoy, but a wide variety of candies.

There are so many varieties that even men are speechless.

"Eh……"

Altria sighed helplessly, then supported her waist with her hands and looked at Mordred standing in front of Ian.

"Xiao Mo, this is a good thing you did, right?"

"..."

Seeing his parents' attention focused on him, Mordred quickly began to explain.

The reason for her choice was actually because of Mary, whom she had just met not long ago.

"That's what Aunt Mary said!"

As the little guy spoke, he pulled at the corner of Mary's clothes.

"She said to just buy some food - and then leave the rest to me to decide freely and buy whatever I want!"

"Is that right?"

Altria's gaze then moved to Meli.

"Indeed it is."

Meili admitted it all without hesitation.

"But I didn't say you could buy candy or anything—it seems like Mordred himself misunderstood what I meant."

"Eh!"

"Why is this happening!"

Mordred was now anxious.

After all, she had already made a plan.

Just buy a little food to fill your stomach;

The rest was used to buy candy;

If there is any left that cannot be spent, he will save it in his own little treasury.

Now it seems that all plans are going to go to waste!
