The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"What do you think betrayal is?"

As she said this, she pressed her feet against Ian's strong chest.

The clear pool water slid down Ian's chest and slowly flowed back into the bathtub.

"To me, betrayal means disobeying your orders and going against your will." Ian replied respectfully.

"Oh, that's the answer you can give."

Morgan's feet moved up Ian's chest to his neck.

To be honest, if someone else did this, Ian would directly think that they were seducing him.

But Morgan was the only one who couldn't let him have such thoughts.

He never really received her love.

There is only physical pleasure.

“But I’m telling you, this is wrong.”

"True betrayal requires that person to fully value you, but I won't value you. You are a chess piece that I can throw away at any time."

"So, your perception is completely wrong. You can betray anyone, but you can't betray me."

[You are not disappointed, because Morgan has emphasized to you many times that she does not value you. ]

[After she pressed her toes on your lips, you heard her plan.]

[She decided to let you approach the humble King Vortigern as a wandering knight who hates Britain, and gain his attention.]

[You will become a sharp blade that Morgan has buried beside Vortigern. You will betray this humble king who has wreaked havoc on Britain at the most critical moment and stab him in the throat.]

[She firmly believes that this despicable method suits you very well and you will definitely deal a heavy blow to Vortigern.]

【Also, she has something else to give you. 】

Swish.

The sword is unsheathed.

Morgan pulled out a blade—she seemed to have been preparing it for a long time.

"Ian, do you remember it?"

"Remember." Ian nodded, "This is your sword, but..."

Ian remembered that the last time he saw this blade, Morgan's name was engraved on it, but now that place was empty.

And Morgan had already predicted what Ian would think.

She gently ran her hand over the sword, and a line of carved names appeared on it.

"I used magic to hide it in the sword. You don't have to doubt it too much. It is still the same sword."

"But, Ian." Morgan looked directly at the knight whose forehead he had stepped on.

"I command you, no matter what the circumstances, to use this sword when assassinating Vortigern."

Although he had many doubts in his mind, Ian had already understood that he had no right to ask any questions.

"Understood, Princess."

[In the following time, you and Morgan did not mention this matter again.]

She brings wine, and orders you to drink it.

[She looks at you drinking, her expression is very complicated.]

[You sensed some hope from her, but you didn't know why that thought came about.]

【She pours you glass after glass of wine and drinks it herself.】

"There is no time to lose. You should leave here tonight when the moon is full."

Morgan, who was slightly tipsy, said to Ian in front of him.

"I have arranged everything for the journey, and after you leave, you will be charged with the crime of killing two fellow knights."

Morgan didn't intend to give Ian any way out.

When the moon rose, he was doomed to never be able to return to the royal court in a normal way.

But facing all this, Ian still just accepted it calmly:

"As you command, Princess."

[Under the moon, Morgan watched you go away. ]

[The princess stood on the city wall and watched for a long time, until you turned into a dot on the horizon and completely disappeared from her sight.]

She felt as if she was not adapting well.

7. What the Wandering Knight Heard and Saw

[As agreed, you left the royal court.]

[From that day on, a piece of news began to spread across Britain—a knight had killed his two companions.]

[You know that was a rumor carefully prepared by Morgan. She cut off your way back.]

[The talent affinity has been replaced with affinity (evil): Instead of expressing your ideas in a friendly way, you are now better at using threats than expressing your ideas in a friendly way. Your words and actions will be accepted by others in a less friendly way. ]

[The talent Combat Continuation has been enhanced to Combat Continuation+: Because of Morgan's instructions to you by the bath, you can stand up even if you are seriously injured before assassinating Vortigern.]

[You have been walking alone for a long time, but because of your loyalty to Morgan, you have never felt lonely.]

In a border town.

If we go a little further, we will come into contact with the area where Vortigern's army is wreaking havoc.

Ian chose to rest here for a while.

In a tavern, the townspeople were drinking happily from wooden glasses and talking about all kinds of things - even though this place could be affected by the war at any time, they were qualified to do so with the protection of the British army.

"Hey, hey!" A man with a goatee said drunkenly, "Have you heard? It seems that a knight has killed his two companions and is now on the run!"

Ian knew that this was talking about him. He had heard too many similar words along the way.

But he doesn't mind.

Because everyone is just spreading rumors indirectly, and no one has taken the time to study the truth of the matter.

This is what Morgan wants to see.

So--

The princess's vision is the knight's vision.

I would also like to see such a situation, even if I am imprisoned.

"Ok, I know."

The fat man next to the goatee nodded in response.

"How big of a grudge do you think you have to kill him?"

"Who knows?" The man with the goatee took another sip of wine. "But compared to this, have you heard anything about the crown prince recently?"

"I know this!"

A thin man also joined the conversation.

"I heard that you seemed to have made some decisions before the expedition, right?"

"..."

Ian was more concerned about the information about Morgan than his own affairs. Wearing a coat, he listened silently to the conversation between the three people.

[You hold your breath and listen to the conversation between the three people. ]

[You heard the ceremony to celebrate the birth of the new royal heir, and it seems to have affected even small border towns like this one.]

[You learned a lot about the banquet from Morgan, but the following conversation was completely beyond your expectations.]

[They believed that after King Uther, the new heir would take over the throne of Britain and become the new king.]

[You realize that someone is spreading the same rumors as Morgan, but even so, you still can't control your reason.]

There was a snap.

Ian smashed the already shaky wine table to pieces.

Everyone in the tavern's eyes were drawn to him - they had no idea why this tall man who covered himself with a coat would do this.

"The King of Britain will not be that new heir!"

"The glory of this land will always belong to the princess!"

Before he could make things worse, Ian threw down enough gold coins as compensation and left the tavern angrily.

Everyone looked at his receding figure and looked at each other in confusion.

"Where did this lunatic come from?"

"Ignore him, let's keep drinking."

The pub gradually returned to its normal state, as if Ian had never been there.

[You left the tavern and began to travel day and night.]

[You crossed the mountains, crossed the rivers, and passed through the forests. ]

[You have entered the area where Vortigern's army is wreaking havoc, but the humble king is still a king, and he is not as easy to find as you think.]

[You realize that you cannot complete the task assigned to you by Morgan in this way, and you need some more radical methods.]

[Since you can't find Vortigern, let Vortigern find you.]

[You killed some of Vortigern's soldiers, which was no problem for you as a former knight.]

[You killed more and more soldiers, and your words began to spread in this foreign land far away from the royal court. This is exactly what you wanted. ]

[One day, an old man who calls himself Vortigern appears in front of you, without any soldiers or horses by his side.]

[He took the initiative to fight you, and knocked you to the ground in just a few moves. You realized that there was an unfathomable gap in strength between you, and also understood the difficulties King Uther would face in his expedition.]

[Talent Battle Continuation + Trigger: You can never forget Morgan's instructions to you. Your vitality becomes extremely strong. Even if Vortigern tramples on your wounds and makes blood flow all over the ground, you still don't die. ]

[Vortigern has become interested in you, or rather, in your tenacious will to survive.]

[He secretly brought you back to the military camp and gave you the best treatment.]

[Your body gradually recovers, and you realize that your plan has succeeded.]

[On this day, Vortigern appeared before you again. ]

"Are you finally awake, young man?"

Vortigern sat down next to Ian.

"I thought you would need more time, but you seem to be a bit more capable than I thought."

Although he was against King Uther and had allied with Britain's long-time enemy, the Saxons, at this moment Vortigern exuded an aura that was no less powerful than that of the royal court.

Ian couldn't even tell whether this kingly aura was something he was born with, or whether it was the result of years of experience in battle.

However, Ian did not forget his mission.

He began to disguise himself.

"Yes, thanks to your care, White Dragon King, I have recovered well."

"Young man, tell me."

Vortigern looked straight at the other person. Although he was old, his eyes still had enough courage.

"Why would you, who have come all this way, try to attract my attention in this way?"

Ian's heart trembled.

Did Vortigern appear in front of him because he had already seen through his intentions?

"White Dragon King, I was accused of some crimes in anger. I cannot accept these judgments imposed on me, so I came from afar, hoping to get your protection and save my life."

"Ha." Vortigern sneered.
