"Ms. Jeanne...I suddenly feel that you care about my father so much."

"It was the same thing when we were outside the city before. You seemed to have said something like 'give him back to me'?"

"Did you know each other before?"

"Eh?!"

After Mordred said this, Joan of Arc realized that she was indeed particularly excited about things related to her brother.

In order to follow the secret code that only siblings understood, she quickly explained.

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

"He... left with the other 'me' just for us."

"That--"

"It's normal for me to worry about him because of you, right?"

"..."

Although he always felt that there was something wrong with this statement, Mordred really had no way to refute it for the time being.

After all, the Joan of Arc in front of him had embarked on this journey just to help him rescue his father.

It is neither reasonable nor moral to care too much about her words and actions.

Mordred is like this.

Not to mention Gareth, whose personality is very similar to hers.

She smiled brightly and nodded at Jeanne.

"Yes."

"Master's worries are justified!"

Joan of Arc finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two sisters agreed with her.

but--

At this moment, the saint no longer showed any signs of tiredness.

Every cell in her body was echoing the words that Gareth and Mordred had just said.

She just wanted to figure out what was going on.

"By the way..."

Jeanne's eyes swept across Mordred and Gareth in front of her.

"Since you all acknowledge that he is the father."

"That--"

"Who is your mother?"

At first glance, this question sounds like a little gossip that was unintentionally created by Joan of Arc out of her own personal will.

But in fact, it is a way to solve the doubts in her heart at the moment.

Gareth was unaware of the "trap" hidden in it, and she answered directly:

"Our mother... is the new king of Britain."

"Her name is Morgan, and she is my father's favorite woman."

"..."

Hearing this, Joan of Arc's heart skipped a beat.

She originally just wanted to find out with whom her brother had the child, but she never expected to hear such high praise at this time.

Although there may be the added bonus of being a relative.

But to let my daughter say such words...

This means that he must be very nice to that woman named Morgan!

Joan of Arc suddenly became panicked.

She never expected that the brother who took such good care of her would have a woman he loved so deeply outside.

They even have children!

how so? !

What happened? !

Mordred did not notice that Joan of Arc was not quite right at the moment.

Because her attention was completely drawn to what Gareth had just said.

"Father's favorite woman?"

"That--"

"How much do you love me?"

Mordred was a little confused by what Gareth meant by "favorite".

Her understanding of her father came entirely from the description of her mother Morgan.

The new king of Britain always emphasized to his youngest daughter that her husband was a hero.

But she had never mentioned the fact that Gareth loved her as much as he did now.

No.

To be precise, he has never even touched upon love.

Morgan seemed to be touched by this in a different way deep in his heart.

Mordred had seen her more than once reveal a look of extreme regret after she had reasoned with him, as if she had committed an unforgivable sin.

"This one……"

Gareth looked at his sister who asked the question and suddenly came to his senses.

"That's right... When you were born, Xiao Mo, your father was already..."

When Gareth said this, there was a hint of sadness between his brows.

"Hmm...how should I put it?"

"Father really loves Mother."

"The story of the two of them spread throughout Camelot at the time...even children would make up a ballad to sing."

"Eh?" Mordred frowned slightly, "Then why don't I know anything about it?"

"I haven't heard any stories at all...don't even mention the ballads!"

"this is normal."

Gareth sighed.

"Because before you came back... Mother had issued a prohibition order in this regard."

"so--"

“It’s normal that you don’t understand.”

"..."

Mordred was silent.

Although sister Gareth's explanation was completely consistent with her own memory, there was no contradiction at all.

But in doing so, she also confirmed one thing.

That is, his mother Morgan is definitely avoiding something on purpose.

She seemed to be unable to accept the fact that her father had left her, and her behavior began to become somewhat crazy.

If we continue to think in this direction——

Could that sudden disappearance also be related to these?

For the first time, Mordred felt how little he knew about his mother Morgan.

"that……"

Jeanne's cautious voice sounded again.

"Your mother is Morgan, right?"

"Yeah." Gareth nodded.

After hearing the affirmative answer from her Servant, Jeanne continued to ask.

"And you are the Knights of the Round Table from ancient Britain, is this correct too?"

"Yes." Gareth nodded again.

"So what exactly is the thing that your father did that you just mentioned? Can you tell me in more detail?"

Joan of Arc looked at Gareth, her eyes full of sincerity and pleading.

"I really want to know what happened in the past..."

"Please, please tell me!"

"..."

Although it felt a bit abrupt for Joan of Arc to make such a request.

But this was the order of his Master after all, so the Servant Gareth naturally had no intention of refutation.

She nodded, and then said:

"I understand."

"but--"

"Master...if you want to ask that."

Gareth pursed his chin and began to think seriously.

As a servant summoned by Jeanne d'Arc, she had "knowledge supplement" and naturally understood that if she said it directly, the other party would be somewhat confused.

"Well... you can understand it as our father participating in a very huge battle!"

“And then he died in the process.”

"what?!"

Jeanne's eyes widened for a moment.

She didn't think Gareth would lie to her.

but--

What exactly is this so-called sacrifice?

Before Joan of Arc could ask, Mordred beside her became excited first.

This is something she has no idea about!

In the memory of this troublemaker, both his adoptive mother Altria and his biological mother Morgan always called their father a hero.

but--!

The two of them seemed to have agreed on it long ago and never discussed in detail why they called him that.

Now Mordred can finally get a glimpse of the truth from Gareth.

She certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity!

After all, this kind of doubt has accompanied her for many years!

"..."

Seeing that her sister Mordred seemed to care a lot about what had just been said, Master Jeanne did not have any objections.

After a moment of silence, Gareth continued:

"Father...is actually the one who killed Vortigern."
