In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

"That's wonderful! Grand Duke Subatai is so powerful, and His Highness Morgan is a genius. With such a powerful combination, the future of the Kingdom of Camelot will be infinitely bright!"

“However, I’ve heard that His Highness Morgan is actually two years older than His Excellency Suberty—?”

"What's wrong with being two years older? Haven't you heard that women who are a few years older are like gold bricks?"

"..."

What a mess!

Morgan's lips froze, but she had expected to feel as ashamed and annoyed as before—both ashamed and annoyed, yet inexplicably unable to feel angry.

So when he looked up and met the speechless expression on the boy's face, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

And so, in that moment of eye contact...

Morgan gave a soft hum, but only raised the corners of his lips.

She gave a very beautiful smile.

It had already been accepted as fact.

There's no need to be angry about anything, is there?

...Morgan Le Fey.

The journey itself was uneventful and lacked any thrills or dramatic moments.

But young hearts often grow accustomed to each other's presence through the trivialities of life.

...

After a short rest, you continued your journey.

Previously you traveled from south to north, and this time you will also travel from south to north, returning to the windmill city called 'Aquinus?'

On the way, Morgan showed you her latest magic trick. She was very interested in your use of 'Evil Spirit Left Palace' in combination with incantations, and based on this, she created a new garden magic, 'Dream Garden', which can erode will and take root in the other person as its source.

She also created a water mirror called Devouring, which was modeled after Vortigern's dragon breath.

[You know, although she can't compare to you in the triple loop yet, Morgan's talent in magic is rare in a millennium—she can't instantly imprint all mysteries like you can, but she is constantly growing.]

You continued to discuss magic—and you listened as she elaborated on her future path. She said she would create four magic systems, 'The Garden' and 'The Mirror' being only two of them, magics of trapping and transference. She was still missing one system: offense and defense. She said she would use these to rule Britain, and with these, she would defeat Vortigern single-handedly—she would no longer be unable to help you.

But right there on the way...

You suddenly received a message.

That was the devastating news that 'King Uther is seriously ill'.

Chapter 206 The Secret of Choosing the King and Merlin, You Don't Want It to Be Discovered, Do You?

Although King Uther Pendragon of Camelot did not seem to have any great achievements and could not be considered a great king, as you know, and according to the later "History of the Kings of Britain," in his early years, Uther, with the support of the "wise man" Merlin, inherited the kingdom established by his father and grandfather when the Roman Empire lost control of Britain due to its decline. He became King Uther, but this angered his brother, Vortigern Pendragon. Although Uther was popularly supported and Vortigern was denounced as a "despicable king," Uther was powerless to conquer the rebels who held sway in the north and suffered a major defeat.

He was unable to suppress rebellions internally, and even less capable of expansion externally. He could not stop Vortigern from bringing in the Ansar, a Germanic barbarian tribe from the north, nor was he able to unify the scattered 'lords' of the British Isles.

[But King Uther was never a tyrannical or incompetent ruler. He was actually quite capable, but he encountered the most difficult times, the 'dragon' born from the vomit of the British Isles, and the most turbulent and prolonged famine in Britain. If he had been on the European continent, with his abilities and talents, it's hard to say he would have conquered Rome and become an 'emperor' like you, but he would definitely have been able to establish an independent yet powerful and internally unified kingdom through his own strength.]

He rarely made mistakes in his life, at most some minor moral transgressions. He faced far too many natural disasters, but very few man-made calamities that he brought upon himself.

This is why King Uther was actually quite popular.

He was once surrounded by 150 knights—rare heroes in Britain. Even in an era when knighthood wasn't a class, owning a horse was incredibly difficult in Britain, a land surrounded by the sea—his kingdom was filled with tales of his wisdom.

You can feel this.

On the way back, as news of King Uther's serious illness spread, the entire Kingdom of Camelot was plunged into a moment of gloom.

The King is about to pass away.

[After the illness became serious, such rumors naturally resurfaced.]

While somewhat exaggerated, this does reflect the grim reality of the situation.

Morgan's mood also became very heavy during her journey; after all, he was her father, and as things stood, she owed him nothing.

You didn't comfort Morgan; you know that at times like these, any words of comfort are useless.

You were just joking when you expressed your brother's 'protection' of your sister.

Then, for what seemed like the umpteenth time, I was struck by an elbow.

But Morgan did find things a little easier as a result.

[You have also quickly arrived at 'Camelot' - not counting changing direction midway, Camelot, located in the more inland part of southern Britain, is one of the several roads you take to reach Windmill City.]

You have entered the palace.

[And soon, he was summoned.]

[But the summons didn't come from King Uther, but from the 'First Court Magician,' the wise Merlin, who was acting on behalf of the state.]

"You're finally back..."

Merlin, still sporting disheveled silver hair, a downy haori, and a fake smile, strolled through the spacious halls of Camelot Palace. The clean, smooth floor gleamed with a slightly rugged light. The young man, staff in hand, stood at the foot of the throne steps and, seeing the figures of the boy and girl approaching, couldn't help but go to greet them: "This is really giving me a headache!"

"Merlin, what have you done?!"

Upon meeting, Morgan brandished his staff, magic radiance instantly emanating from him, and demanded menacingly, "Why are you sealing off the palace? Do you intend to become 'king' yourself?!"

"Cough..." Merlin's face froze at the words, and Lu Kang next to him couldn't help but cough twice, choked by Morgan's question. Although, to be fair, with the 'King' seriously ill, Merlin was indeed the one who actually held the highest power in the kingdom—this guy, although he was annoying, didn't seem like the kind of person who would be a king at all.

Merlin hurriedly said, "No, I didn't."

"Oh dear, this is one of the 'King's' orders... I'm just following orders!"

"I hope that's true."

Morgan, who had only intended to intimidate the hypocrite and didn't genuinely believe he intended to overstep his bounds, snorted, put away his staff, and dissipated the magical glow. Merlin secretly wiped non-existent sweat from his face, looked at the seemingly well-matched couple before him, and simply said:

"In fact, there were signs of 'Wang's' serious illness all along."

"Since the defeat at the hands of Vortigern ten years ago, the King has harbored resentment stemming from that war. Before, he could suppress it under the protection of the title 'King of Britain,' but now, with the passing years, it is no longer easy to do so..."

"The king's time is probably only two or three years."

Is it really due to the accumulation of years?

Lu Kang glanced at Merlin with deep suspicion, then looked at the palace gate behind Merlin, which led deep into the palace and was shrouded in heavy curtains—an era in which the gods had survived and the mystery had not yet been lost so much. Both 'emperors' and 'kings' possessed power, which, in mystical terms, was what was called 'blessing'.

But Lu Kang, who possessed the power of an emperor, knew that such things might be 'lost' or 'transferred' due to the people's hearts, but they would never weaken with the accumulation of years.

—Is this more because a 'new king' is about to come of age?

Morgan, however, clearly hadn't thought that far ahead.

He took a deep breath and said, "I need to see my father."

"Your Highness, please."

Merlin readily stepped aside.

Before leaving, Morgan said to Lu Kang, "I'll come find you later."

Leaving these words behind, the blonde girl, still dressed as a traveler, stepped into the depths...

"Your Highness Morgan, you're growing up."

Merlin stroked his chin and looked at Lu Kang: "I wonder what Grand Duke Subotai thinks?"

"It's too early."

Knowing what Merlin was talking about, Lu Kang didn't refuse, but simply said, "I'm still 'early'."

He is two years younger than Morgan.

I don't plan to get married so soon.

Merlin chuckled twice: "It is indeed a bit early."

"But going earlier might not necessarily be a bad thing..."

He looked like he was there to 'persuade people to get married'.

"Is this also King Uther's intention?" Lu Kang didn't give him a chance to continue speaking: "Let me help Morgan, let Morgan lose the opportunity to inherit the throne—and let me and her give birth to many descendants who can become 'knights' in the future?"

Those were the Knights of the Round Table, who surrounded King Arthur and encircled the round table where he sat.

In later legends, some of the knights of the Round Table were descendants of Morgan—the embryos of powerful warriors she created through various mysterious means.

Merlin was slightly taken aback by Lu Kang's words about 'future generations', but he was not flustered; his face was full of surprise.

However, despite the surprise, recalling Lu Kangna's words in the rainforest when he tricked Lu Kangna into revealing his 'Knight King Story', it all seemed perfectly reasonable.

This boy...

Lu Kang chuckled to himself: "Don't think I can't see you... Lord Merlin."

"Although I don't have your 'eyes' that can see through the entire world, many times, many things don't need to be seen with eyes."

"I know a lot, far more than you can imagine."

"Including the future, and also the present."

"Furthermore, it includes the existence of the most perfect heir to the throne that His Majesty King Uther is planning and creating."

The one who was named Arthur.

"—You are about to give up on letting Morgan inherit the throne and 'choose' a new king on this land, right?"

That being known as the King of Knights.

"You don't want your secret to be known by others, do you?"

Merlin: "..."

Not surprising.

However, the tone of these words sounds so strange.

"what would you like?"

After some thought, Merlin ultimately chose to compromise.

With King Uther seriously ill, he cannot allow the kingdom to make even the slightest mistake at this time.

Ultimately, Merlin, though a half-elf nightmare magician who enjoys observing the world and stirring up people's hearts, still possesses something called a sense of responsibility.

In the end.

If you want to 'devour' a beautiful dream, maintaining the integrity of the stage is also essential.

It's Merlin, not 'Merry'.

It's truly both lucky and a pity.

[This is what you're thinking.]

Chapter 207 The Realm of Fairies, Morgan: I Want to Be in Charge, Do You Support Me?

[You know that in this world named 'Moon' where there are endless timelines, there exists a female nightmare named Merlin, whose personality is similar to Merlin's, but even more wicked—if Merlin merely enjoys observing, then this female Merlin prefers to create tragedies and finds pleasure in it—you regret that you can't blackmail her with such words, but at the same time you know that she probably won't be easily blackmailed, she'll just be indifferent and ask you to increase your efforts.]

[To blackmail Merlin was a plan you had in mind before, when you were traveling across Britain, and in that rainforest, you tricked Merlin into revealing himself as the 'King of Knights'.]

[Arriving in this era, gathering the mysteries of this time]

Besides those above ground, there are also those buried deep underground.

Besides what is visible, there is also what is invisible.

That is the origin of the fairies, the existence called the 'Fairy Realm'—the surface crevice of the Star Sea, the final destination of all gods and mysteries, reached by descending from the Tomb of Albion, a unique realm of the Western world, similar to the Eastern Netherworld.

The secluded world of the East is a repository of all fantasies and the mysteries of indeterminate forms.

[The Fairy Realm is clearly also included.]

That's a realm only the fantastical beings of this planet can reach.

[Regardless of ability or level]

Only 'race' is the key to that place.

[In fact, you had already ventured deep into the Tomb of Albion of this era before, but although the mystery of this era was more intense than that of later times, you didn't gain much from it—you also failed to enter the 'Fairy Realm'.]

[Coincidentally, Merlin, who stands before you right now, is a magician with fairy blood—through him, you might also be able to open a passage to that place.]
