Unexpected Developments
Galahad listened intently, interpreting Morgan's words through his lens of concern and hope. He believed that Morgan's actions were driven by a deep-seated awareness of her potential downfall and her determination to alter her fate. In his heart, he vowed to change his destiny and the fates of those he cared about.
Galahad then addressed Morgan with a pressing question. "Your Majesty Morgan, I need to know where my father is at this moment."
For Galahad, finding his father was crucial. Knowing Lancelot's location would enable him to make informed decisions about his actions. He hoped that if he could locate his father, he might at least find some resolution or satisfaction.
Morgan's response was somewhat evasive. "He will find his way in due time."
Morgan's vague reply left Galahad somewhat puzzled. "When will that be?"
Morgan could not provide a precise answer. She knew that Lancelot's whereabouts were uncertain and might remain so for an extended period. To Morgan, it was a matter of chance and patience, perhaps taking days or even years.
Galahad, still young and somewhat naive, took Morgan's words at face value. "Understood, Your Majesty."
Morgan, noticing Galahad's earnest but misplaced trust, decided to redirect him. "For now, you can stay with Altria's Knights of the Round Table. If you have further questions, you may come to me again."
Galahad left with a mix of gratitude and lingering questions. He appreciated the guidance but was left uncertain about his father's exact whereabouts.
Once Galahad departed, Morgan let out a sigh of relief. She found the situation challenging and was eager for some respite. She decided to seek out Lott, hoping to find comfort and perhaps a bit of distraction.
As she approached Lott, who was deeply engrossed in government affairs, she overheard his thoughts. Lott was contemplating his frustration with the nobility and the state of infrastructure. His thoughts reflected his disdain for the corrupt practices of the nobles and his desire to punish them.
Morgan, initially puzzled, realized Lott was feeling conflicted about his harsh stance. She observed his internal struggle and decided to use this moment to her advantage.
Sneaking up behind Lott, she teased, "Hey, I know you're particularly sensitive to being tickled. How about I give you a little scratch?"
Lott, preoccupied with his thoughts, had already sensed Morgan's approach. Despite his best efforts to play it cool, he was aware of her intentions. He chuckled inwardly at her attempts to sneak up on him.
As Morgan moved closer, Lott's mind raced. Does she think I don't notice her? He was amused by her attempt to play a harmless prank. But if I hide, will she be disappointed?
Lott decided to let Morgan have her moment. It's better to indulge her a bit; she deserves some fun.
Morgan, undeterred by Lott's perceptiveness, continued with her playful intentions. She found Lott's reaction endearing and enjoyed their brief moment of light-hearted interaction.
Their playful banter provided a welcome distraction from the serious matters they faced. Both found comfort in each other's presence, even amidst the challenging times.
With the day's events behind them, Morgan and Lott found solace in their shared moments, strengthening their bond as they continued to navigate the complexities of their world.
