[Talent Energetic + has been replaced by Blessing of the Lake +: You were brought by Morgan to this place where she was born, and you begin to be recognized by this sacred and peaceful place. From now on, you will no longer feel tired. , your magic power has also been improved, and some low-level magic can no longer affect you. ]
[Once a terrible thought is born, it is difficult to get rid of it. ]
[When you start to realize that this is completely unfair to Morgan, you can no longer brush it off. ]
[You can't see Morgan in such pain, it makes your heart pierce every moment. ]
"Stop it, Ian."
Morgan stopped his sobs filled with sadness.
"I'm not sad anymore."
"Understood, my lady."
Ian's loyalty to Morgan is beyond imagination.
Morgan just gave this order, and he directly followed the guidance and stopped next to her.
Morgan, who sat up from the grass, couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw how Ian clearly had some ideas but insisted on his name.
"Come on, let's sit closer."
"My Lady, this..."
"Ian, are you going to disobey me?"
The princess's orders are orders that must be obeyed absolutely.
Ian didn't say anything more, just sat down by the lake as Morgan asked.
And Morgan himself quickly sat next to this extremely loyal knight.
This time, the two people were no longer standing on the steps above the lake, but were sitting side by side.
[You were silent for a long time. ]
[The breeze in the forest caresses your faces, silently telling the passage of time. ]
[Even so, you feel that this is one of the few good times in your life. ]
[Although as a healthy male, you can't help but feel a throbbing when you are around Morgan. ]
[At this moment, Morgan's hand touched yours, gently and yet politely. ]
"Didn't I scare you just now?" Morgan's voice sounded worried.
"Ian, you know, I'm not actually..."
"It's okay, my lady." Ian replied with a smile, "It is also the responsibility of a knight to make you forget your sorrow for a while."
Ian's words touched Morgan.
It had been a long time since she had released her inner sadness like this.
"You are a loyal knight."
Morgan bent down towards the lake in front of him and gently touched some of the water with his hands.
Her hands were soaked by the lake water, making them look whiter and smoother.
"I think it's time to reward you."
The next moment, Ian felt a burst of moisture - Morgan's hand touched his cheek.
"My Lady, you..."
"Don't you like it?" Morgan asked Ian, holding his chin with his other hand.
"Then I can let go now."
"No, that's not what I meant."
"Isn't that right?" Morgan's feet splashed gently in the water.
"But don't blame me for not telling you in advance that you are my pawn, and everything you can do is still within my control."
"My Lady, this is a little surprising to me."
"But you're not willing to let me let go, are you?" Morgan's mouth curved slightly.
"You said that you are loyal to me in everything, and I can do whatever I want."
"I understand, my lady..."
Morgan's fingers were slender and delicate, as smooth as the skin on the soles of his feet, and at the same time became extremely flexible due to the need to study magic.
She wiped her fingers back and forth on Ian's cheek, showing a warm and nostalgic look.
"Ian, it seems like we haven't tried this kind of thing in years?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ian took a deep breath, "You remember correctly, the last time I got along with you like this was a long time ago."
"Then Vortigern must have shown you a lot of things, right?"
Ian shook his head.
"No."
"That's the reward for trampling on the British knights. I can't convince myself to accept it."
Morgan's expression became a little unbelievable.
"Ian, you mean you have never accepted Vortigern's reward?"
"Yes." Ian nodded, "I never got anything from him."
Listening to this description, the smart Morgan suddenly realized something.
"Then Ian, haven't you been suffering in this situation for several years?"
"No, it is definitely not a pain to lurk for you, the Queen."
"..."
Morgan was silent for a while.
Even though she knew that Ian would never blame herself, she felt a little sad in her heart.
Finally, her lips were no longer as tightly closed as before.
"I'm sorry, Ian, it was my unrealistic fantasies that put you through such a time."
"You regret it, don't you?"
"No." Ian replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, I said, I will never regret being loyal to you."
"Your order is the highest honor to me."
Honor often comes with flattery, but loyalty comes with loneliness.
Morgan turned away and whispered in vague words:
"Are you... resenting me? If that's the case, you can tell me directly now."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty the Queen."
"These things are indeed a bit painful for me." Ian answered very directly, "But my lady, all of this can be changed for you."
"My Lady, I will never resent you."
"How stupid..."
Morgan looked away, but held Ian's hand tighter.
"Do you think I'll feel guilty for you?"
"You are just my pawn."
"My Lady, of course I understand all this."
"Then hold me tight." Morgan whispered, "Ian, you don't have as many opportunities as you think."
"If you miss this time, you don't know when the next time will be."
Morgan felt the warmth coming from Ian.
Ian and her hands clasped together.
With the permission of the princess, the knight hugged the person he expected and protected as he wished. A cool wind blew in the entire forest, and everything became calm again at this moment.
"It's obviously very uncomfortable, right?"
With her legs slightly apart, Morgan gently wrote her name with her fingers in front of Ian's chest - she felt a little confused inside.
"Why don't you tell me clearly?"
"Because you, my lady, do not need my pain."
"Then I order you now." Morgan finished writing his name, "If you have any ideas in the future, tell me immediately."
"Then the princess——"
Ian looked directly at Morgan in his arms.
"What if my thinking is...I don't accept that you won't get the throne?"
[You didn't notice one thing. ]
[That is, when you said this sentence, the clear lake water began to appear slightly turbid. ]
