It's understandable that Artoria, having rediscovered her girlish heart, wants to take her relationship with Momo to the next level.

"I understand, dear Artoria, dear Lily, my sweetheart, my honey, please save your husband! I'm really about to be burned to death!"

"gross."

"Ugh, it's so cold. I didn't feel anything when Mo Mo said these things to me, but why does it feel so chilling now?"

Momo's words were met with merciless criticism from Kuroyukihime and Argo, but Artoria, who was in the distance, seemed to enjoy them. She stood up and walked towards Momo, followed by Anya and Leila.

"Asuna, Argo, and Yuki, please allow me to apologize to you first. I did this without your permission, and I was actually afraid that Momo would object."

Facing Artoria, Asuna and the others still couldn't bring themselves to be angry. Asuna nodded and said, "Artoria, tell us, what are you really thinking? And, are you... truly willing to be with Momo?"

Artoria smiled slightly and said, "You want to ask about my condition, right? Thanks to Momo, I have basically broken free from my 'darkening' state. Or rather, I have faced myself squarely, faced my own emotions and state of mind. They were all perfectly natural to exist, and there was no such thing as 'darkening'."

"The black version of me represents a negative state, the blue version represents reason and spirit, and the white version..."

Artoria lifted her skirt and twirled around, saying, "I'm willing to take her as my appearance and speech, and I'm willing to live in that way."

Asuna breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I understand. Actually, we're not surprised that you... and Yuuki, fell for Momo at some point. But... Anya and Leila, I'm sorry, we're not targeting you, but it's just that the two of you... it's really a bit sudden."

Asuna didn't want to show her negative emotions too much, but she really couldn't accept Leila and Anya. However, what the two said next left her dumbfounded.

"No, madam. Because of Lord Pendragon..."

"Call me Artoria, Leila. I've already told you, we're friends here, not in a superior-subordinate or senior-junior relationship."

Leila was taken aback, then smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, Artoria... Sister, because of Artoria's instructions, I didn't inform the three of you beforehand. But now I can clearly tell the three ladies..."

Leila took a breath and said, "I have no improper thoughts about Mr. Mo, and I would even say I don't have much affection for him. After all, Mr. Mo has so many wives, which is a bit unacceptable to me."

"Marrying Mr. Mo... is merely a test for me by Miss Artoria, nothing more. After this, I can guarantee that I will not have any contact with Mr. Mo, nor will I have any intimate relationship with him."

“I can even return this ring to the three ladies as proof of my resolve.”

As she spoke, Leila took out the ring that had already been replaced, her face showing no sign of wavering.

Leila spoke slowly, making it easy for everyone to hear what she was saying, and her words struck everyone like a thunderbolt.

Even Mo Mo, who had lived for so many years, was completely bewildered. What was going on?

Well... to put it simply, Leila, who just married him, dumped him?

Ah!

Suddenly my heart aches so much!

A sword piercing the heart!

However, Mo Mo's heartache was not over yet. Anya also took off her ring and said, "Do you want to take this back? Sure, it's not very useful anyway, and I'm not used to wearing it."

Ah!

Another sword was thrust into Mo Mo's chest.

over!

002 Is this what it's like to be a backup option?

The two people's heartless words left everyone stunned, and Mo Mo's heart sank into an icy abyss.

Although Momo never actually pursued Leila or Anya, they were still people who had been to a wedding, made vows under the emcee's guidance, and even wore rings given to them by Momo!

Even though the ring was given to Momo by Artoria, even though the wedding was held in chaos, and even though there was no emotional foundation between them...

Even if you two don't care about any of this, can't you at least look at Mo Mo's face? Such a handsome, dashing, and eternally seventeen-year-old face, doesn't it have any appeal to you?

Come on, look at Mo Mo's face and say what you just said again with your hearts!

Leila realized the awkwardness of the situation and understood that her words had been somewhat disrespectful to Momo. To smooth things over, she immediately turned to Momo with a hint of apology on her lips.

“Um, I’m sorry, Mr. Mo. I didn’t mean to deceive you. It’s just that Sister Artoria asked me to do this so that I would be qualified to follow her, so I did it.”

"If I've caused you to have any... delusions, I'm sorry, it's my fault. But please be able to cut off any such thoughts. Our aspirations are really not compatible. I'm just here to follow Artoria-neechan."

"I'm sorry, you're a good person!"

After saying that, Leila bowed to Momo and then plunged another sword into Momo's chest.

"That's right, Momo, you gave me candy, you're a good person. But if you want this ring back, you can have it back."

Then Anya delivered the final blow, and Momo's eyes rolled back as he passed out.

Upon seeing this, Yui exclaimed in surprise, "Mommy, Mommy, Daddy has fainted! Should we light a fire now?"

Ignoring Momo, who was pretending to faint, and Yui, who was excitedly holding a lighter, Asuna turned to her and said, "Um, Artoria, what exactly happened? Can you tell us? It would be best if you could also tell us the reason."

"Of course, but I think some things are more convincing when Yui says them than when I say them, aren't they?"

Hearing Artoria's words from a distance, Yui regretfully put away her lighter, walked over, and said, "That's right, Artoria's mother is right. At least now Dad has benefited from what Artoria's mother did."

After speaking, Yui displayed Momo's personal attributes. Compared to the previous attributes, Momo's basic attributes remained unchanged, but Momo gained two additional inherent abilities.

Behind the Scenes (C): In the world of Code Geass, there are too many shocking deeds that are enough to leave a mark on history. However, precisely because of this, there are too many disputes and different versions regarding all of Momo's history and legends, which makes it impossible for the legends to describe Momo's actions and achievements in detail, thus reducing their credibility.

However, what is universally acknowledged in all legends is that Momo, as a behind-the-scenes figure and guide of the changes in the world caused by Lelouch's rebellion, used secretive, clever, and effective methods, and was able to act freely and do whatever he wanted without being discovered or noticed by anyone.

Effect: Any hostile observation of Momo based on suspicion or doubt will not be considered evidence that Momo is the mastermind. Level C means that any observation method without the enhancement of mystery, whether it is direct tracking with the naked eye or investigation using any mechanical equipment, will be ineffective against Momo. The specific effect will depend on the situation.

Seeing this attribute on himself, Mo Mo blinked and revealed a smug smile. After all, it was the result of his hard work in the world of Code Geass, and a manifestation of his strength.

At the same time, this also made Mo Mo a little regretful. Obviously, if the characteristic of the "behind-the-scenes person" skill is to be improved, then one must increase one's legend level. Unfortunately, increasing the legend level is somewhat conflicted with the origin of the "behind-the-scenes person" skill.

However, this one attribute alone already made Mo Mo feel quite good. At least this way he could act with fewer worries, and all the hard work Mo Mo had done in the world of Code Geass was worthwhile.

Did I finally feel like I was the mastermind behind the scenes?

However, before Mo Mo could be happy for even a few seconds, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was off. Although the ability was not bad, it should not be enough to make everyone fall silent and almost stop breathing.

Why is everyone silent?

Momo looked down and immediately saw his other retained skill.

Pretty Boy (A): Not content with marrying the former leaders of the four major powers in the rebellious world of Code Geass, he even wanted to marry two other beautiful women. This utterly shameless behavior shocked the entire world of Code Geass, earning him the contempt of countless people, but also the envy of many more. He became a legend forever etched in history, considered a model of relentless treachery and destruction of nations and people.

Effects: Increases attraction to women in unfamiliar situations and increases hatred towards men in unfamiliar situations. It also amplifies the goodwill and hatred of men and women you already know. Level A represents extremely high priority and can ignore a lot of resistance.

Note: This seems to significantly increase the chance of getting the hatchet and the chance of encountering FFF group members.

A chill ran through Mo Mo's heart. He suddenly felt that he had done so many terrible things, and now it was time to pay the price.

The chill came not only from Mo Mo's speechless prompt about retaining the skill, but also from the scrutinizing gazes of everyone who had read the information before Mo Mo.

Being stared at by a dozen people at the same time, even Mo Mo, who had a fairly thick skin, felt a little embarrassed.

Now how to do?

No, stay calm, Momo!

Think carefully, who can take the blame for this? If not, have Kayaba Akihiko send his consciousness over here now.

"I see. No wonder Leila's attitude towards Momo is so bad. This ability has probably amplified your dislike for Momo."

Leila was also somewhat surprised. She covered her mouth and said, "Well... thinking about it carefully, I did come to Valhalla and instantly disliked Mr. Momo even more. So it wasn't because of my resistance to that wedding? But if that's the case, why hasn't Anya changed?"

As she spoke, Leila looked at Anya, who tilted her head and said, "I feel like Momo seems a little more agreeable now. Is it because he often gives me lollipops?"

Although Anya didn't say the reason, Leila understood. It was because Anya's feelings for Momo were too low, and even if they were amplified, there wouldn't be much change.

"Artoria, what exactly is going on? Is this skill retention your goal?"

Asuna was somewhat amused and exasperated, while Artoria nodded helplessly, saying, "Please don't be angry. I had two reasons for inviting Leila and Anya to the wedding."

"Firstly, I want to experiment to see just how powerful we have to be in this world to gain so-called legendary status and increase our strength. I think this is a very important point, and it's worth experimenting with by all means."

Asuna frowned, looked at Leila and Anya, and said, "But... isn't it a bit too much to make them marry Momo? As for Momo... he's definitely enjoying it, so we don't need to worry about him for now..."

"Hey, Asuna, I don't agree either! I only found out the truth now!"

Momo struggled to prove his innocence on the cross, but Asuna clearly ignored him.

"For Leila and Anya, is testing them with such conditions... a violation of their wishes?"

Asuna carefully chose her words, not wanting to create a rift with Artoria, nor wanting to cause resentment in Leila and Anya, who were already Heroic Spirits and destined to be their partners in the future.

Artoria nodded and said, "Regarding this, Leila, Anya, if this has embarrassed you, I do need to apologize. However, I can assure you that as long as you don't have any good feelings towards Momo, Momo will absolutely not bother you, and you are free to live in Valhalla."

Artoria's seriousness made Leila quickly shake her head, saying, "Sister Artoria, I've come to follow you. Although your test for me was a bit... I now understand Artoria's good intentions. Anya, do you feel the same way?"

"Me? Don't worry too much about me. I'm used to being with you all and I want to continue being with you. If the condition is that I have to marry Mo Mo, then so be it."

"After all, as a girl, I have to get married, and I doubt anyone would like my personality anyway, so it doesn't matter who I marry."

Anya's words left everyone speechless. Truly, she was as smug as could be. Momo, watching from afar, wore a look of utter despair, for at that moment, he vaguely understood what it meant to be a backup option…

Artoria nodded after hearing what the two were saying, and said, "Asuna, I know you might find it hard to accept. But I was also facing a difficult situation at the time. After all, Leila wanted to follow me, and I couldn't tell Leila about the Hall of Heroes because of the limitations of my circumstances."

"Becoming a Heroic Spirit means that one's entire life and destiny will undergo tremendous changes, changes that are even beyond the description of words. Therefore, I think that testing Leila's determination in this way is also a feasible method."

"If Leila cannot accept this condition, I think she also cannot accept the more demanding conditions for becoming a Heroic Spirit. If my actions have caused you any difficulty, then I apologize to you again."

Asuna finally understood. Argosuna, who had calmed down somewhat, stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, Artoria, don't blame Asuna. We just didn't expect you to do something like this. It's not like you're a knight at all, is it?"

003 Coup

"Regarding this..."

Artoria smiled slightly, pointed to her eyes, and everyone immediately looked over, then let out a soft gasp in unison.

Artoria's eyes are golden.

Normally, whether it's blue or white Artoria, her eyes should be a beautiful emerald green, not this pale gold. This golden pupil color belongs to the corrupted Saber.

"Artoria, that means..."

Argo understood the reason, and Artoria nodded, saying, "That's right. Although I seem to have become the white Lily you all envisioned, unfortunately, I am still Artoria."

“My dark side didn’t disappear; rather, I faced it all and integrated it into my personality. Normally, my dark side wouldn’t show, but the dark side of me is also a part of me.”

"So, it's better not to think of me as the King of Knights or a pure knight. In fact, I actually agree with some of Momo's practices now, rather than adhering to chivalry. Although the process may not be very elegant, in terms of results and impact, Momo is always the biggest winner."
