She gently waved the reins, allowing the horse under her to bypass the noisy crowd.

She remembered something and spoke again:

"Ian, you... won't betray me, right?"

"Of course not, unless—"

"Unless what?" Morgan's slender eyebrows slightly frowned.

She cares a lot about this issue.

"Unless, Princess, you need my betrayal." Ian answered directly.

"..."

Morgan was silent for a long moment.

"I always feel that what you said is a bit contradictory."

“But I don’t hate it.”

[You and Morgan continue to carry out the plan.]

[You concealed the real reason for returning to the capital from everyone, and began to pretend to be the winner.]

[You and Morgan rode on your respective horses and threw gold coins on both sides of the road.]

[Everyone has been deceived by your actions. The rumors of your victorious return have become more and more popular in the capital, almost comparable to the truth.]

[There are more and more bards singing poems praising King Uther on the streets, and the aroma of wine often wafts through the alleys on sunny days.]

[But you know that all this is an illusion. ]

[Morgan is also very aware of this.]

[You guys carefully carried out every step of the plan, blocking the news, fearing that there would be any mistakes.]

[The more you realize the importance of each other in your plan, the more you realize that your fates are entangled like a hemp rope.]

[This takes your relationship one step further in an indescribable direction. ]

[During the day, you are a noble princess and a loyal knight. ]

[At night, you are underground lovers with a burning passion. ]

[Morgan enjoys playing with your body, which is one of the few relaxing times of the day for her.]

【It’s just that things can’t always go this smoothly. 】

【Silent danger is coming quietly. 】

sunset.

The afterglow of the sun cast its last oblique shadow on the land of the royal capital, and the orange-red light enveloped the land that had experienced the years.

Ian was watching all of this.

He stood in front of the city gate where he had left the capital several years ago - it still stood here today.

Nothing seems to have changed, yet everything has changed.

Looking at the avenue at dusk, many thoughts surged in Ian's mind.

However, he was not confused at all and knew what he should do now.

A running figure appeared not far away.

Ian, a veteran of many battles, immediately recognized that it was a knight returning from the front line.

He became alert.

"Stop." Ian stopped the knight, and then asked knowingly, "Where are you from? What do you do?"

The knight was intimidated by Ian's aura.

He immediately pulled the reins, stopped the horse, and then said anxiously:

"There's an emergency at the front! I need to report it to the princess immediately!"

"..."

Ian's heart skipped a beat, but he tried his best to remain calm.

"What is it?"

[Talent·Knight's Aura Trigger: Although you were told to report to Princess Morgan as soon as possible, under the influence of your aura, the knight in front of you still told you the matter.]

[You learned from him the unfavorable news on the front line.]

【You realize that this is extremely dangerous for you and Morgan in many ways.】

[Once the unfavorable news on the front line spreads in the capital, the identities you and Morgan have worked so hard to forge will be shattered in an instant.]

You must never allow that to happen - no one can destroy what Morgan deserves.

[You suddenly feel murderous intent]

You lured this knight into the darkness and pierced his heart with your sword.

[You cleaned up all traces and let his horse run away to a place where he would never look back under your gaze.]

[No one knows your behavior, but you know that further countermeasures are necessary. ]

【You are alert to everything around you until night falls. 】

[You avoided the attention of others, went to Morgan's room, and told her everything.]

"Sure enough, he still came."

Morgan was not flustered.

This was a necessary part of the plan she and Ian had worked out together.

"Ian, have you dealt with it?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "It's already buried. No one will find it."

Hearing this, Morgan's expression became a little complicated.

She bit her lips tightly, and waves of heartache flashed in her blue eyes.

She reached out her hand, touched Ian's face, and gently wiped away the tiny traces of blood.

"I'm sorry to have you do something like this against your colleagues again."

"It doesn't matter." Ian smiled slightly, "I am already a sinner. Being able to continue to act as your chess piece, Princess, is already the most meaningful moment in my life."

"Ian, don't say that."

Morgan looked straight at this man who was obviously much taller than him but was willing to kneel before him and serve him.

She gently stroked his weathered face.

"It is precisely because you are my pawn that you must obey my orders."

"So I won't let you die without my order."

"Princess..."

Feeling the other person's touch on his cheek, Ian's heart was moved, but he did not give up thinking about it.

"But we must have further plans, right?"

"Yeah." Morgan nodded.

"Of course -"

"Ian, I want to kill that scion."

22. The knight should do dishonorable things for the princess

We have finally reached this point.

Ian looked at Morgan in front of him and remained silent.

This attitude made Morgan pinch his face, and she spoke in a dissatisfied tone:

"Why? Ian, are you planning to reject me like this?"

"No." Ian smiled slightly, "My Lady Princess, I have never refused your orders, have I?"

"Then why don't you speak?"

"Because, Princess, you only thought of this now, which is a little surprising to me."

Morgan turned his face away and replied to Ian in a rather helpless tone.

"Isn't this natural? No matter what, he is still a member of the same clan as me, with the same blood in his bones."

"If I may——"

"I don't want to do it either."

Ian nodded.

"Yes, Princess, you are indeed at your wits' end."

"Then leave this ignominious task to me."

"That heir has no blood relationship with me, I will not show mercy."

"Yeah." Morgan took Ian's hand.

"You have to be careful... You are the only one left by my side, and you can't let anything happen to you."

Out of caution, Morgan only has Ian, an absolutely loyal knight, by his side.

No one doubted this - because the two showed a strong sense of propriety in public.

No one could have imagined that the elegant princess and the heroic knight actually had such an unclean relationship that crossed the line in private.

"I will, Princess. Thank you for your concern."

Morgan seemed to be in a much better mood.

She stood up and turned in front of Ian.

"Ian, do you feel anything different about me today?"

"Yes, Princess." Ian nodded and replied.

"The cuffs of your clothes have been altered a little bit. Judging from the way the needle and thread are woven in, which I have never seen before, it must have been sewn by a new maid."

"The belt around your waist has been cut off by about one eighth. I think your body is now slimmer than before."

"You seem to have removed all the extra decorations from your skirt, but I don't know why you did that."

After hearing Ian's conclusions, Morgan's face was filled with surprise.

"Ian, how did you know that? Do you usually spy on me?"

"No." Ian shook his head. "Because the princess asked me to answer what was different about you today, so I tried my best to think about it."

"Then you should also leave something for me to reveal to you." Morgan supported his waist with his hands.

"I am angry."

"Today, I will punish you severely."

Morgan kept his word.

[She orders you to hug her from behind, and the two of you stand in front of the mirror together.]

[She, who is in front, orders you to stand up straight immediately, but other than that, you are not allowed to do anything she doesn't mention.]

[Although the Yellow Dragon can soar into the sky, it can also be trapped in a narrow space. ]

[You can feel that you have been oppressed in a way that is not so fair.]

[You also know that a little further up is the nest where the yellow dragon should return.]

[But Morgan doesn't allow you to think about these things. She wants to keep your thoughts under control.]

"Does it feel uncomfortable?" Morgan looked at himself and stroked Ian's hand on his waist.

"A little bit." Ian answered Morgan's question very honestly.
