FATE: Target of Grand Master

Another grueling night passed, and Xia Yan, with her somewhat disheveled hair, opened the bedroom door.

Morgan seems to be sleeping particularly soundly in bed these past few days, waking up much later than usual.

Xia Yan yawned widely and headed for the restroom, only to be caught red-handed by Cú Chulainn, who maintained his morning exercise routine.

"Hey, Master, you look completely drained. I warned you before, be careful not to get eaten by the Great Witch, how come you're still so careless?"

Cú Chulainn's words seemed like advice, but the mocking smile on the Blue Spearman's face revealed his amused nature.

"Cú Chulainn, stop making Celtic jokes. You wouldn't stand it either."

Cú Chulainn wore an extremely amused expression, draped his arm over Xia Yan's shoulder, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "If it were me, I would definitely win over the woman who admires me."

As Cú Chulainn spoke, he made a fist-clenching motion.

Xia Yan covered his face. He had forgotten that in Celtic mythology, Dog Brother was an absolute human bulldozer.

Thank you for your advice.

Xia Yan slapped Cú Chulainn's arm off her shoulder and went to wash up by herself.

After having breakfast together, the three set off for Fuyuki City.

"I won't participate in shopping or anything like that. Since this area is near the sea, I'll go fishing for a while. Don't worry about lunch."

Cú Chulainn, carrying his fishing gear, left with great foresight.

"Then, Your Excellency Miss Morgan, let me show you the way."

Xia Yan bowed slightly and extended a hand to Morgan.

"Then today I will play the role of a princess. Please, Knight Xia Yan, show me around this city."

Morgan smiled and placed his hand on Xia Yan's hand, his heart filled with anticipation.

Xia Yan led Morgan past Suiqunyuan Academy. After hearing Xia Yan say that he had briefly served at the academy during a previous trial, Morgan became very curious about life at the academy.

After releasing a magic spell to conceal their presence, the two secretly slipped into the academy.

Morgan first squatted on a tree outside the classroom window and secretly listened to the class for a while, and then ran to the academy's library to browse through the books.

Fortunately, it was still during class time and there weren't many people in the library. Otherwise, if students saw books floating in mid-air and automatically turning pages, it would definitely become a new campus ghost story at Homurahara Academy.

"It turns out that modern humans use facilities like schools for centralized instruction, which certainly greatly improves efficiency. In contrast, the concept of a school would never exist in Fairy Britain."

As the queen who ruled the fairy kingdom of Britain for over 2000 years, Morgan still unconsciously compared her kingdom to the history of humankind. It seems that even knowing the outcome of failure, Morgan still harbored a deep desire to try again.

"Ah, I'm sorry, without realizing it, I became engrossed in books."

After coming to her senses from the library, Morgan realized that she had been inside for a full hour, while Xia Yan had done nothing, neither urging nor reminding her, just quietly watching her.

"Morgan, do you enjoy reading?"

Morgan nodded.

"Absorbing knowledge is a pleasurable experience. The ability to create so much interesting knowledge is one of humanity's greatest strengths."

"Let's set up a library in the safe house after that."

"No need for that trouble, I can come here myself from now on."

Morgan didn't want to trouble Xia Yan.

"No trouble at all. Perfect timing. I was also feeling the safe house was a bit monotonous. Even though it's just temporary accommodation during the trial, I still want to make it feel like home."

Xia Yan's words touched Morgan.

The feeling of home, yes, that's exactly the warm atmosphere Morgan has felt since coming to Xia Yan's side.

She liked the feeling, so she didn't refuse anymore.

"Let's go, you probably have other plans after this."

After leaving the academy, the two headed straight for the shopping street.

The dazzling array of shops made even the usually composed Morgan widen his eyes; these were far more interesting than the clumsy imitations of the fairies in the Fairy Kingdom.

"Xia Yan, come quickly and tell me, what is this?"

Xia Yan followed Morgan's gaze and found a small shop selling cotton candy.

Watching the cotton candy vendor place a wooden stick on the cotton candy machine, and then saccharin adhere to the stick, even Morgan, the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Xia Yan, look! This is like magic!"

"Oh, miss, you really know how to talk. That's right, the cotton candy here is magically delicious. Young man, how about buying one for your girlfriend?"

Seeing Morgan's eyes filled with curiosity, Xia Yan took out his money without hesitation.

After taking the large cotton candy that the shopkeeper had specially spun around a few times, Xia Yan glanced at Morgan beside him and whispered, "We shouldn't be at that level of relationship yet."

"Huh? Really? I'm usually very good at judging people, I've never been wrong before. Sorry, I hope I didn't cause you any trouble?"

Xia Yan quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.

After taking the marshmallow from Xia Yan, Morgan immediately took a bite, and the sweet taste immediately assaulted her taste buds.

"tasty."

"The uncle wasn't lying, was he?"

Upon hearing Morgan's heartfelt praise, the cotton candy shop owner burst into laughter.

"Oh, by the way, let me correct your mistake," Morgan said quietly, "He is my husband."

"Why?"

The cotton candy shop owner was taken aback and wanted to ask more questions, but he found that Xia Yan and Morgan had already walked away.

"What a young couple! But that proves my judgment was correct. Hahaha."

"Morgan, what did you say to the cotton candy shop owner just now?"

"It's nothing. I just clarified our relationship."

"Oh, I see."

For some reason, Xia Yan felt a little disappointed after hearing Morgan's reply.

"I told the boss that you are my husband."

puff!

Xia Yan spat out the water he had just poured into his mouth.

"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but in modern society, based on my age and your apparent age, neither of us is of legal marriage age. This will cause us a lot of trouble."

Morgan narrowed his eyes.

"My chosen husband needs no permission from human society. Or perhaps you are unwilling to become my husband?"

"Of course not!"

Xia Yan immediately denied it, then realized that he seemed to have entered Morgan's conversation rhythm, and hurriedly said, "But this is, after all, a human society. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It's better if we don't break the rules here."

Morgan thought about it for a moment and finally nodded.

"Alright, I am not an overbearing or rude person. Then I will still call you Xia Yan."

"Uh-huh."

Xia Yan wiped away imaginary tears with emotion.

"In exchange, I want you to eat cotton candy with me."
