Artoria hesitated for a moment and said, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"They ignore me because there's bad blood between you and me, and also because they think the strongest representatives of Britain are you and Alvin."
Morgan suddenly broke into a charming smile, "I don't plan to save Britain. That's been my stance in the past and it still is now… but if it's for you and Alvin, I can lend a bit of help."
"Either let little Mo take the potion and go investigate the border, or… I'll go to the border with Alvin and personally meet this king of the Hun Empire."
"And while I'm at it, I can remind those enemies lurking in the shadows…"
Morgan lifted her gaze, "Britain isn't just home to the red dragon and the white dragon."
For a brief instant, goosebumps spread uncontrollably across Alvin's body.
You had to know, Morgan was a witch who possessed the unique bonus of 'Lord of the Island'. In a sense, she was even stronger than Artoria, who wielded the holy sword.
It was just that the sisters' past infighting, along with the many negative evaluations of Morgan in history, had made people subconsciously overlook her.
Sometimes Alvin had imagined it, 'If Morgan and King Arthur, these two sisters, work together… what kind of glory would Britain usher in?'
In the past, Alvin had never been able to picture that scene. But now… he was witnessing a miracle that could only be called unbelievable.
Artoria looked at the woman in front of her extending a hand, and she couldn't help but hesitate. Instinctively, she wanted to refuse.
Because in the past, she had always felt that she and Morgan were fundamentally not on the same path. The way Morgan handled many things was far too extreme, even "scheming."
However, when she glanced at Alvin beside her, she fell silent.
Alvin had talked to her before about many things concerning Morgan.
She could roughly understand this woman, although in a certain sense Morgan could be considered a "bad woman," at least she wouldn't treat her or Alvin that way.
After a long silence, Artoria reached out and took Morgan's hand.
Seeing this, Alvin let out a quiet sigh of relief.
What he didn't know was that he wasn't the only one relieved, Morgan herself, who had spoken just now, also felt the same.
Even Morgan le Fay, who possessed the authority of 'Lord of the Island,' had been uneasy when proposing "cooperation" because she didn't know whether her younger sister would accept her.
With this, the purpose of her visit was fulfilled.
After letting go of the hand, Morgan didn't say another word and turned to leave the bedchamber.
"By the way," At that moment, Artoria's voice suddenly rang out.
Morgan paused slightly, turning her head to look at the blonde Knight King behind her. A trace of confusion showed in her cold, beautiful eyes.
"Is there something else?"
Artoria hesitated, then said softly, "It's already a bit late today. If you don't want to go back, you can stay here and rest tonight."
'The problem is, weren't you and Alvin just about to sleep,' Morgan was about to say something when, suddenly, a certain nerve in her mind seemed to snap. As if she realized something, she instinctively looked at her somewhat embarrassed sister, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Alvin was equally stunned as he stared at Artoria, his expression slightly frozen.
Artoria had already turned her face away, continuing, "Of course, if you want to go back and rest, that's fine too. I'm just making a suggestion."
Even if that was how she put it, for such a "suggestion" to come from the mouth of this King Arthur was already quite unbelievable.
While Alvin was still in a daze, he suddenly saw a line of small text quietly appear in his field of vision.
[You have unlocked a new CG achievement: Signal of Reconciliation Between the Sisters of Britain, Part One (The host's performance will affect the CG's progress achievement)]
Alvin: "..."
'Why does this reminder feel like it's saying: not only do I have to sleep with them, I also have to switch positions while doing it?'
———
The next day, early morning.
Alvin opened his eyes on a snow-white, soft bed. Beside him, Morgan was already awake, sitting alone by the window. Her smooth, jade-like legs gave off a faint, almost translucent glow in the soft light of dawn.
He hadn't expected that even after all CGs had already been collected, there would still be DLC to load and such a DLC at that, something he wouldn't have dared imagine before. Alvin looked at Artoria beside him, who seemed to still be asleep, and felt a faint sense of unreality.
"Do you find it surprising?"
At that moment, Morgan's voice suddenly sounded by his ear.
There was a hint of softness in her tone. Her platinum hair was slightly disheveled, falling casually over her delicate, alluring face. She wore only a white bathrobe, and beneath it, her figure was graceful and captivating. She lacked some of her usual coldness, replaced by the unique charm of a mature woman.
Alvin looked up at Morgan and nodded lightly.
Even now, it still felt like a dream. Last night, he had actually shared a bed with these two sisters. Although not many special CGs were unlocked, this was already a huge step forward.
In the past, he would never have imagined Artoria and Morgan getting along so harmoniously.
Alvin said softly, "You don't mind?"
Morgan silently glanced at the blonde Knight King who seemed to still be "asleep" and said faintly, "If even Lily doesn't mind, what do I have to mind?"
'Hmm… looks like the older sister king is more open than I thought,' Alvin let out a quiet breath of relief.
"Are you thinking, since it worked this time, you'll keep pulling me and Lily in to serve you next time too?", Morgan's voice pulled Alvin back to reality.
"I never thought that…"
"Really?"
A teasing glint flashed through Morgan's beautiful eyes as she sized him up.
At first, Alvin could maintain a calm expression, but gradually he couldn't hold it anymore. He coughed lightly and looked at Morgan, "I only thought about it a little."
"Whether there's a next time depends on my mood. Besides, you don't have the mind to dwell on that right now, do you?"
Morgan paused, "After all… we still have a long trip ahead of us."
As she spoke, she looked at Artoria and said with a smile, "Do you have any suggestions, Lily?"
Artoria, who had been "sleeping," opened her eyes and looked over silently.
She had intended to maintain the dignity and composure of a king, but when she saw Morgan, she couldn't help recalling everything that had happened last night. A faint blush appeared on her cold, beautiful face, especially noticeable in the morning light.
But she was, after all, King Arthur. She quickly adjusted herself and said softly, "You and Alvin decide, if you insist on going to the border, then go."
Recently, the Hun Empire at the border had been making restless moves.
Especially now that it was known that "Attila" might be the "Crest of the Star" that devours civilizations, no matter what, they had to go to the border and confirm this information.
If Alvin went together with Morgan, it would indeed be more reassuring.
After all… she possessed the special buff of 'Lord of the Island.'
"If I have to say one thing, I only have one request."
Artoria gazed at her cold and noble sister, her voice carrying a bit more seriousness, "Bring Alvin back alive with you."
Morgan couldn't help but be stunned.
Her usual sharp tongue made her first instinct to retort. After all, within Britain she had a special domain bonus, yet Artoria's words made it sound as if she might be in danger.
But when she saw her sister's emerald eyes fixed on her, and the seriousness and a certain special emotion within them, Morgan swallowed the words she had been about to say.
She gave a soft "Mm."
"I understand…"
———
At this moment, there was still one person guarding outside the bedchamber for the entire night. Mordred.
When she saw Morgan rush into Artoria's chamber alone last night, she had even called the other Knights of the Round Table in advance, ready to stop them if a battle broke out between the sisters. However, the battle she imagined never happened.
Faint footsteps came from inside the hall.
Mordred looked up. When she saw the three figures appear in her sight, she froze, then rubbed her eyes, wondering if something was wrong with them.
'Father and Mother, and King Arthur… why would they—'
"Little Mo, why are you outside so early in the morning?"
While Mordred was still completely confused, Alvin stepped forward with a smile and greeted her.
"No… it's nothing, I was just a bit worried about you, so I came to take a look."
As she spoke, Mordred secretly glanced a couple more times at Artoria and Morgan behind Alvin.
She stepped closer to Alvin and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Alvin was startled at first. Seeing the worry in Mordred's eyes, he seemed to understand something and smiled, "Don't worry, everything's fine. But I'm going on a long trip soon. Stay in the palace and protect Britain with Lily."
Mordred didn't have time to think about what Alvin had gone through last night. Hearing the last part, she froze, "Where are you going?"
"The border," Alvin said.
'The border?'
Mordred mulled over the word for a moment, then seemed to realize something. Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you going to avenge Lancelot? I'm going too!"
'Why is this kid's head full of nothing but fighting,' Alvin shook his head, "We're just going to investigate the identity of the owner of that spaceship. I'll go with Morgan… so behave yourself for a while."
Mordred's eyes flickered. She looked up, about to say something, but in the end, under Alvin's gaze, she nodded reluctantly.
"Alright… I got it, Father—"
Even as she said that, there was still obvious unwillingness in her eyes.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a warm hand resting on her head. Mordred instinctively looked up, meeting Alvin's gaze.
She quickly looked away as if shocked, muttering softly, "What is it?'
Alvin said gently, "I'd like to take you along too… but this mission isn't suitable for too many people. Wait until I come back, okay?"
Mordred turned her face away without a word and said awkwardly, "You don't need to explain so much to me."
Even though she said that, her earlier dissatisfaction seemed to have faded quite a bit.
Alvin took in all of Mordred's reactions, and a faint amused smile soon appeared on his face.
Mordred, or rather this whole family including Artoria, were all a bit too tsundere. And when dealing with that kind of personality, being straightforward was often the most effective approach.
Not far away, Artoria and Morgan le Fay exchanged a glance when they saw this scene, both noticing something unusual in each other's eyes.
Neither of them really knew how to "raise" a child, so watching Alvin's approach felt quite novel.
Mordred might "fear" them, but she wouldn't completely obey them, often showing extreme irritation in front of them. Yet in front of Alvin, she seemed quite obedient.
This method of raising a child, might be worth learning a little.
———
After having Artoria take Mordred away, Morgan crossed her arms and looked at the boy with a faint smile, "You seem quite good at dealing with children. Little Mo didn't even listen to me much before."
"That's because you always try to suppress her with strength. But with her personality, the more you suppress her, the more rebellious she becomes."
Alvin shrugged helplessly, "In this aspect, the two of you together still aren't as good as me."
A slight curve lifted at the corner of Morgan's lips, "Oh? Not as good as you? Then who was the one begging me and Lily for mercy last night?"
Alvin: "..."
'Is that something you can just say out loud?'
The white dragon had incredible stamina and endurance, but facing both Artoria and Morgan le Fay at the same time. It wasn't like he'd be completely exhausted, but there would definitely be moments of "tiredness."
'I still need more training,' thinking back on everything from last night, Alvin couldn't help sighing inwardly.
Morgan didn't dwell on the topic and casually changed the subject, "What are you planning to do next?"
Alvin thought for a moment and said, "I kept thinking about something last night, do you think we really need to sneak into the border to gather intel? Can't we just visit them openly?"
The white dragon of Britain, plus Morgan, the Lord of the Island, within Britain, was there anywhere they couldn't go?
Morgan had naturally considered this as well. She said calmly, "It's certainly possible, but have you thought about whether enemies might take advantage of the time when both of us are gone to sneak into the royal city?"
"For example, the Beast who escaped the royal city not long ago, what was her name again, Sessyoin Kiara?"
"Although Tiamat and her child are powerful, they are only avatars… and if a battle breaks out in the royal city, her Sea of Life will affect others."
