Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

The "clairvoyance" can only see through things that exist in this world; it cannot observe things that do not belong to this world.

That is to say-

Shirou is not from a parallel world, nor from a different dimension or universe, but from a truly "other world".

At that moment, Merlin's heart pounded faster.

She clutched her chest as if having difficulty breathing, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

This is the first time something like this has ever happened.

Having lived through countless long years since birth, Merlin knows everything that is happening now.

Because they can see everything in the world, nothing unexpected will happen, and they will not be surprised by anything.

For Merlin, the whole world was like a painting framed on the wall.

She was merely a bystander, happily appreciating the scenery in the painting.

Then, Shirou appeared—

It feels like being admiring a painting in your own bedroom when someone suddenly walks up to you and starts a conversation!

From a place where she should have been the only one, a complete stranger appeared!

Who are you?!?!?!?

"…………"

Merlin stared blankly at the red-haired boy in front of him.

From that moment on, the world was no longer a painting for Merlin.

Everything around me, everything in my eyes, seemed to be tinged with color, transforming into a world full of unknown possibilities.

Meilin pondered quietly.

The shock and emotion of today will never be forgotten, even a hundred million years from now.

……

……

And so, the child from another world, Shirou, was brought before King Uther by Merlin.

“I want this child to become my apprentice,” the court magician said bluntly.

"Huh? Who wants to be the Nightmare's apprentice!"

The red-haired boy frowned and said, "I want to be Artoria's apprentice! Hey! Let me see Artoria now! Get her born before she's even born!"

Merlin silenced Shirou with magic:

"There is no child named Artoria here. Forget about it!"

Because of the inclusion of the impurity (Shirou) in the story, the Flower Magician's clairvoyance can no longer see the original future, so she is unaware of "Artoria"—a character who should have been born two years later.

"…Merlin."

The old man sitting on the throne, King Uther of Britain, glanced at the queen beside him and asked hesitantly.

"You want to teach this child, no problem, but what about Morgan?"

Morgan is Merlin's apprentice and also the princess of this country.

However, Morgan and King Uther are not actually related by blood; she is the daughter of Queen Igraine and her ex-husband.

Shirou, his mouth gagged: "Waaaaah! Waaaaaah! Waaaaah! (Morgan! Has Morgan been born yet?! Yay! I'll always love Morgan!)"

Merlin said, “I will continue to be Morgan’s magic teacher... and there’s something you’ve misunderstood; I don’t intend to teach this child magic.”

Yuther: "?"

“This child is an orphan who was stranded in Tintagel… Your Majesty, I have a suggestion.”

Merlin said seriously, "Have you and the Queen considered adopting a boy?"

Shirou, his mouth sealed shut: "Ugh! Waaaaaah! Waaaaah!"

(Merlin! What decision did you make without my permission! Did you even ask for my opinion?!)

On the way to the palace, Merlin had already come up with a plan.

The plan was to make Shirou the king who would save Britain.

"Wait...you mean...?"

Yuther's eyes widened, and he stood up excitedly from his throne.

Merlin nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, please cancel the original plan. A more suitable candidate has emerged."

King Uther collapsed back onto his throne as if all his strength had been drained.

His plan with Merlin has reached its final stage.

Since ancient times, those who become kings of Britain have been blessed by the island and endowed with mystical powers.

However, with the end of the continental pantheon, the mystery of Britain gradually faded, and Uther was the last person to be endowed with extraordinary powers.

Fearing that his next generation would not receive the island's protection, he carried out a forbidden plan.

Uther and Merlin conspire to create an heir who possesses the Dragon Factor.

The mother chosen to carry out this plan was Igraine, who had the blood of a fairy.

King Uther forced her to divorce her original husband and become his queen.

Such immoral actions are all for the future of Britain.

But having come this far, should we give up?

King Uther was puzzled... Could this seemingly ordinary boy really be compared to Superman, who possessed the Dragon Factor?

"I assure you."

Merlin glanced at Shirou, then vowed, "I will train him to be a king who can save Britain."

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah! Waaaaah!!!"

(Merlin, you bastard! What have you done?! This means Artoria wouldn't have been born! You murderer!!!)

……

……

And so, Shirou became King Uther's nominal adopted son and lived in the palace from then on.

He began to follow Merlin and learn everything he needed to be a king.

Swordsmanship, horsemanship, military strategy, etiquette, the study of emperors... and so on.

Needless to say, even on ordinary days, when Merlin accompanied King Uther on campaigns, the court magician would take lessons in his dreams.

Of course, Shirou also inevitably became acquainted with another of Merlin's students.

"You are the legendary..."

The silver-haired girl and the red-haired boy met at the corner of the courtyard.

“Nice to meet you. I am Morgan, the daughter of King Uther and Igraine… and your sister.”

Morgan crossed his arms, adopting a cold and aloof expression, and looked down at his brother who had fallen to the ground.

Why would King Uther adopt a child of unknown origin and even make him Merlin's apprentice?

What exactly are they plotting?

When Morgan learned that he had inexplicably gained a younger brother, his first feeling was one of overwhelming tension and unease.

Could it be that the king intends to choose this boy as the future king of Britain?

How could you... Don't be ridiculous! I am the only one who can become the King of Britain!

Morgan always believed that he was destined to become the next king.

She was the chosen girl of the island, born with magic surpassing her mother's and power surpassing any British king in history.

Therefore, even though the man had driven out her biological father and taken her mother, the girl did not hesitate to call Yuther "Father" and respected him from the bottom of her heart.

Because that's exactly what Wang Ying was doing.

But now... a younger brother has appeared out of nowhere.

He clearly doesn't have King Uther's bloodline.

Could it be... that he's better than me?

Morgan sent the raven familiar to observe for a long time, only to find that he was overthinking things.

My younger brother is far from being outstanding.

Although even Morgan found his projection magic incredible, that was all; everything else was mediocre.

Even his swordsmanship, which he devoted the most time to, was better than that of an ordinary soldier, but still far inferior to that of a knight.

If there's one thing that Shirou (his younger brother) has over him... it's his gender.

My father doesn't intend to pass the throne to me... just because I'm a woman!?

Morgan was utterly disappointed.

She hated her father, who made the decision, and her teacher, who offered advice, and also harbored strong hostility towards her new brother.

That day, Morgan secretly used magic to hide herself in the corner of the garden, and when Shirou passed by, she stretched out her foot.

The boy, who had tripped, fell heavily to the ground. Morgan then dispelled his concealment magic, crossed his arms, and sneered:

"You can't walk without looking ahead, my dear brother. Haven't you learned anything from Master Merlin?"

"Well……!"

Shirou, with tears in his eyes, rubbed his knees and turned his face away.

"You fucking want to die... uh, Morgan!?"

"That's right, I am Mo... Wait, wait! What are you doing! Let me go! You rude scoundrel!"

The younger brother, meeting her for the first time, had an expression as if he had discovered a treasure, shouting "Sister Morgan!" and hugging her.

The princess blushed as the boy held her tightly in his arms.

"Wait... let me go! Let me go now! Do you even understand what's going on?!"

Shirou looked up and said, "Huh? You're my older sister Morgan? Isn't that right?"

"That's right, I am your sister Morgan... Waaah!?"

"elder sister!"

The boy hugged Morgan tighter and buried his face in Morgan's chest, rubbing and sniffing.

Unable to bear it any longer, Morgan raised her jade finger and fired a spell bullet, sending him flying.

He initially thought Shirou was deliberately provoking him to start a fight, but to his surprise, he was knocked unconscious on the spot and caught completely off guard.

"........."

Morgan was speechless: How did things turn out this way? Where did things go wrong?

……

……

Morgan took the unconscious Shirou back to her bedroom.

When the boy woke up and immediately rushed to her to act cute, she composed herself and spoke.

"...In short, such things are not allowed to be done again in the future."

"What do you mean by 'that kind of thing'?"

Shirou asked, resting comfortably on his older sister's lap.

"That's the one……"

Morgan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she shoved his head aside: "...You're not allowed to get close to me!"

Shirou blinked: "Why? I love Morgan the most!"
