[Every word Morgan said was engraved on your heart. ]
[Although you have never seen the vicious king Vortigern, judging from the fact that he and his army can wreak havoc on the entire Britain, it seems that this is not an ordinary person. ]
[You realize that this is a mission with no chance of winning. ]
[Morgan's behavior is no different from asking you to die. ]
However, even after realizing this, Ian did not hesitate.
He responded to Morgan with only one sentence:
"I understand, my lady."
Morgan looked at Ian who was kneeling before him, his blue eyes rarely showing his inner emotions.
But it still didn't involve the slightest bit of excitement, it was still just doubt.
"Ian, do you think you can do this?"
"No." Ian shook his head, "Although I have never seen Vortigern, I know that he will be a powerful enemy."
"Then why don't you reject me?"
"No knight would refuse an order from the person he swore allegiance to." Ian replied without hesitation.
"My lady, I am no exception."
"But what if you never come back?" Morgan looked at the knight kneeling in front of her.
"Then it's gone forever."
[Morgan is silent. ]
[She originally planned to do the opposite and laugh at your cowardice to make you competitive and take over this matter, but she never thought that you are far more loyal than she thought. ]
[You didn't even ask what you should do, and just agreed. ]
[She chooses to believe in your loyalty. This is the first time she has done so. ]
"Come with me, Ian."
Morgan stood up.
"I give you permission to bathe in my presence."
It was dusk, and the corridors of the royal court were covered with golden color. Everything was like a scene sung in a poem, and it was so beautiful.
Ian looked at all this and felt vaguely in a trance - he realized that he had not been exposed to the outside world day and night for a long time.
"Ian, do you like it here?" Morgan, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke.
"Yes, my lady."
"I like it too." Morgan reached out to catch a fallen leaf and smiled rarely.
"So if I have the chance, I would like to stay here forever and let the glory of Britain shine on it."
"My dear princess, your wish will surely come true."
"..."
Morgan seemed to wake up for a moment, and she put away her smile.
"I hope you're right."
Morgan poked the leaves in his hand into Ian's mouth little by little.
"Ian, swallow it and act like you didn't see anything."
Looking at the knights obeying his orders, Morgan felt a little better.
[Morgan wasn't kidding. ]
[She did take you to a bathing place that only the royal family can use. ]
[She pushed everyone away except you, and now only the two of you are here. ]
[She asks you to take off your armor and enter the bath. ]
[You realize that she is about to start telling you her plan. ]
"Ian."
Morgan sat on the edge of the bathing area and gently dipped her feet into some of the water in the pool - this was water with a special magic that kept it clean all year round.
"What do you think betrayal is?"
As she said this, she put her feet on Ian's strong chest.
The clear water slipped from Ian's chest and slowly flowed back into the bath.
"To me, betrayal means going against your orders and going against your will." Ian replied respectfully.
"Heh, it's indeed an answer you can give."
Morgan's feet went up Ian's chest and came to his neck.
To be honest, if someone else did such a thing, Ian would directly think that it was to seduce him.
But Morgan alone couldn't get him to have this idea.
He had never really received her affection.
Some are just physical pleasure.
"But I'm telling you, this is wrong."
"Real betrayal requires that person to completely value you, but I won't value you. You are a pawn that I can throw away at any time."
"So, your perception is completely wrong. You can betray anyone, but you cannot betray me."
[You are not disappointed, because Morgan has emphasized to you many times that she does not value you. ]
[After she pressed your lips with her toes, you heard her plan. ]
[She decided to let you contact the Vicious King Vortigern as a wandering knight who hates Britain, and gain his attention. ]
[You will become a sharp blade that Morgan buries next to Vortigern. You will betray this vicious king who is ravaging Britain at the most critical moment and stab him in the throat. ]
[She firmly believes that this despicable method is suitable for you, and you will definitely hit Vortigern severely. ]
[Also, she has something else to give to 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 still engraved on it, but now that location was empty.
And Morgan had already predicted what Ian would think.
She lightly rubbed her hand over the sword, and a line of engraved names appeared on it.
"I used magic to hide it in the sword. You don't have to doubt it too much. It's still the same sword as before."
"But, Ian." Morgan looked directly at the knight whose forehead he had stepped on.
"I command you, no matter what the circumstances, you must use this sword when you assassinate Vortigern."
Although he had many doubts in his heart, Ian had already understood that he had no right to ask questions.
"I understand, my lady."
[In the following time, you and Morgan did not mention this matter again. ]
[She brings wine and orders you to drink it. ]
[She looked at you drinking with a very complicated expression. ]
[You feel some hope from her, but you don't know why the idea was born. ]
[She poured one glass after another of wine for you, and drank it herself. ]
"Without further ado, when the moon is full tonight, you can leave here."
The slightly drunk Morgan said to Ian in front of him.
"I have arranged everything on the road, and after you leave, you will be charged with killing the two knights who traveled with you."
Morgan wasn't going to give Ian any way out.
When the moon rises, he is destined to be unable to return to the royal court in a normal way.
But in the face of all this, Ian still just accepted it calmly:
"As you command, my lady."
[Under the moon, Morgan watches you go away. ]
[This 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 sight. ]
[She found that she seemed a little uncomfortable with the feeling of no one kneeling in front of her. ]
