CK Simulation, Creating the Style of Tsukino Fumi

"Aren't you afraid Lancelot will betray you? He has a history of doing so."

Mordred's words make you realize that Morgan isn't the only one in Britannia who doesn't get along with your servants.

But by then it was too late.

[Your knights have arrived at the castle, and when your descendants and old friends see you in person, their faces are filled with nostalgia and astonishment.]

Clearly, Agravan and Lancelot were not entirely convinced by the message Morgan had given them. But even with their doubts, they were still willing to risk being branded as traitors to come here. And now, they felt that the risk was worthwhile. The reason was simple: to them, you, the former emperor who led them to establish the Britannian Empire, held far more authority than the current emperor.

[Especially Agravan, as his father, your status will always be higher than his sisters', even if he doesn't know what you're going to do back in Britannia, that doesn't stop him from coming to see you.]

In Galahad's eyes, your existence was like that of the Savior in Catholicism. He grew up listening to your stories, and now he was witnessing someone who should have died actually appear before him. For him, this was as thrilling as a believer witnessing the resurrection of Jesus.

They had countless words and thoughts to tell you, to express their longing and concern for you during your absence, until, when your servants appeared before their eyes, their original thoughts instantly turned to terror.

"Your Majesty Mordred?!"

Inside the castle hall, when Mordred appeared, Lancelot's expression changed drastically as he was overjoyed at Quinn's return. He had come here secretly, fearing that someone would know he was there to see Quinn, but he never expected to see the current emperor here.

Agrave was also taken aback. Mordred's appearance had momentarily stunned him. More than Lancelot, he was terrified that his little sister would find out he had secretly come to see their father.

In an instant, both of them felt a chill in their hearts and began to wonder if they had been tricked and that the Quinn who appeared in front of them was not Quinn, but a disguised stand-in. Fortunately, it was Mordred who was the first to break down.

"You have the wrong person."

Mordred interrupted the two men's rambling thoughts with displeasure.

Upon hearing this, the two knights, both of whom had extensive experience interacting with the current British emperor, realized that the face before them was far more youthful than the emperor they remembered. Moreover, the current emperor possessed a much more composed demeanor, while the one before them…

You can't say she's not steady, you can only say she's like a wild, unruly dog.

Even so, the two of them recognized him at a glance as Mordred, or more precisely, the young princess who had not yet become emperor.

"Father, what's going on?"

Agravan immediately looked at Quinn, hoping his father would give him an explanation.

Faced with his two sons' questions, Quinn did not shy away from the truth. He explained in detail how he could travel between different timelines, including his purpose for returning to Britannia.

After he fully explained the reasons, Lancelot and Agravain both looked somewhat bewildered. After all, this matter was far beyond their comprehension. As for Galahad, the young man was completely disoriented and couldn't tell which way was which. But at least he understood one thing that mattered to him the most.

"So, Prince Gawain wasn't secretly murdered by His Majesty, but rather taken away by you?"

In a daze, Galahad opened his mouth before Agravan and his father could speak, completely unaware of Lancelot's panicked expression as he tried to cover his mouth the moment he uttered his words.

?

Quinn was taken aback by the question. "Why would you think that? Lancelot, what's going on? I remember telling Mordred that no matter what, she must not hurt her family. She promised me, and she shouldn't break that vow."

“Uh… it’s just gossip among the nobles.” Lancelot immediately broke out in a cold sweat. “You’ve probably heard that Artoria tried to overthrow His Majesty the Emperor, and after her failure, the Emperor, having lost faith in the Knights of the Round Table, established a new Round Table. It was at this time that Artoria disappeared, followed by Gawain. One is the Regent, and the other is your eldest son, so…”

Before Lancelot could finish returning the flowers, Mordred, standing to the side, burst into laughter.

Did King Arthur rebel? Or did he rebel against me? And then he failed?

My other self, you did a great job, you did a great job!

While Mordred was laughing, Quinn couldn't laugh at all, because he realized that the speed at which these rumors were spreading was abnormal. If these rumors were only circulating among the lower-ranking nobles, it wouldn't be a problem, but now that even Lancelot and other Knights of the Round Table were affected, it was clearly a big problem.

Chapter 188

Someone is deliberately guiding the rumors in a direction that is detrimental to the stability of the Britannian Empire.

You have discovered a part of the secrets of the Britannian Empire, and you have begun a legendary event chain—Nightmare.

A nightmare from another world is spreading false rumors within the empire you've built, undermining the inner workings of this millennia-old behemoth. Her lies have long filled the empire, and the widespread skepticism she faces is one of the very foundations driving your beloved daughter's increasingly ruthless and extreme actions. Now, she has her sights set on some outsiders from another world, attempting to use these rumors to deceive these world-changing outsiders into assisting her plan to destroy the empire. It's time to act and stop the nightmare before she accomplishes her evil ambitions.

Quinn's face darkened as he saw the pop-up window that suddenly appeared in front of him.

So, it was you, Mary, who made my precious daughter start to leak air, wasn't it? You better not let me catch you, or I'll show you what a mastermind is!

Chapter 181 You want it? You know the logic.

After Lancelot and Agrave arrived, your other offspring followed one after another. Agrave, Gareth, and Gahoris were all present, and with Lancelot and his son also present, the original twelve Knights of the Round Table had been largely assembled. From these Knights, you finally learned the full picture of the fragments you had heard from Kaina regarding Artoria's Great Rebellion.

At the beginning of Mordred's reign, in order to achieve the same absolute rule over the empire as you, she used all sorts of underhanded means to establish a dictatorship over the Round Table. Although this behavior damaged the reputation of the Round Table, she was, after all, your offspring, and Artoria, who had no children of her own, basically regarded her as her and your child.

Therefore, as regent, even though she possessed sufficient power to restrict Mordred's actions, Artoria chose to indulge him. She only repeatedly expressed her dissatisfaction with Mordred in private, attempting to persuade him to abide by the rules of the Round Table. It can be said that from the very beginning, no one could have imagined that Artoria would rebel, especially as the empire grew stronger under Mordred's powerful rule. Artoria consciously relinquished more power to her goddaughter, showing an intention to resign from the position of regent.

[If everything had gone smoothly, this transition between the old and the new would have continued peacefully until Mordred completed her Grand Arcana, using the artifacts you left her to perform that miraculous magic that isolated all of Britannia from the history of humankind. Then the accident happened.]

One day, Artoria, who had already planned to resign as regent, suddenly began to secretly and frequently visit the fiefdoms of the Knights of the Round Table, trying to persuade those Knights of the Round Table who still had voting rights, including Lancelot, to unite and limit their goddaughter's dictatorial behavior through a Round Table meeting.

However, she made a mistake. At the urging of an unknown magician, Artoria approached the Queen of Ireland. Unlike the Knights of the Round Table, who were once her colleagues and trusted her implicitly, keeping her actions secret, Guinevere's relationship with Artoria wasn't particularly good. Although they were old friends who had interacted before, for Guinevere, Mordred, as her son, was far more important than Artoria.

When news of Artoria's actions reached Mordred, the enraged emperor labeled it all treason and immediately ordered his army to surround Camelot, demanding that Artoria resign as regent. However, before the army could enter Camelot, Artoria vanished from the world's sight.

[After this, in order to prevent such things from happening again, your daughter's behavior became increasingly extreme, which led to things like Morgan being confined to the court and most of the Knights of the Round Table being forbidden from leaving their fiefdoms.]

The explanations of the Knights of the Round Table and the pop-up windows of the simulator sounded simultaneously. Quinn sat in the hall, listening to the Britannia story led by Lancelot, Agravure, Morgan and others, while Lily, a fairy of the paradise, explained the threats that Britannia was currently facing.

The reconciliation lasted for a whole day. The crowd, who had not yet understood the changes between the current emperor and the regent, finally understood the whole story. They realized that Artoria's sudden change was due to the temptation of a nightmare, and Mordred's increasingly extreme behavior was a sign that her willpower was getting closer and closer to collapse after maintaining the world's independence.

Once he understood that if Mordred were allowed to continue down such an extreme path, she might mutate into some kind of malevolent monster, even Agravure, a man who, under Quinn's tutelage, prioritized the future of the empire above all else, abandoned his original ideals and was willing to join Quinn's ranks to carry out his plan to overthrow Mordred.

As for Gareth and Gahoris, they were more easily persuaded. They couldn't bear to watch their youngest sister's life crumble while they stood by and did nothing, even if their actions would certainly incur her disgust.

Seeing that the Knights of the Round Table were willing to help him, Quinn said nothing more and simply explained his plan.

[You begin to explain your ideas to the Knights of the Round Table. You arrange for them to travel throughout the Empire to search for the Chaldea Masters, and you have Morgan use magic to project the appearances and names of the Group A Masters from your mind. At first, the Knights of the Round Table looked at these outsiders like good students, memorizing their facial features. But when Emiya Haku's appearance appeared, not only the Knights of the Round Table, but even your Servants looked at Morgan with strange expressions.]

Morgan didn't bother to explain, simply saying they looked alike, and tried to gloss over the matter, until Gareth suddenly made his move.

“Father, I might know where Emiya Haku is, but this information might not be accurate. Perhaps I should verify it first…”

"Just say it directly."

“Sigh, but if it’s fake news, I don’t think it’s good to say it out loud…” Gareth’s eyes darted around, and his words were somewhat hesitant.

Seeing his daughter's unusual behavior, Quinn raised an eyebrow, but maintained his previous attitude, encouraging her, "Just tell me, it doesn't matter if it's fake news, I won't be angry."

“It’s not exactly fake news, it just means it might not be good for you.” Gareth was still a little hesitant, but looking at her father’s fearless appearance, she gave up her brain and gritted her teeth and said, “Just a few days ago, Guinevere suddenly asked me if my mother’s confinement restrictions had been lifted. I was quite surprised that she would suddenly ask this.”

Now, she no longer has any doubts.

Upon hearing this answer, Quinn's previously amiable expression immediately turned strange. The reason was simple: he could feel the cold gaze coming from behind him.

That was Morgan's gaze.

The Knights of the Round Table remained silent, pretending not to have heard anything. Only Mordred whistled with amusement. Anyone who saw Shiro Emiya's face would realize one thing.

The fact that Shiro Emiya's appearance hasn't caused any major scandals in Britannia is enough to show that Queen Guinevere of Ireland has suppressed all news related to Shiro Emiya. There is only one reason why that woman would choose to conceal information about Shiro Emiya—Shiro Emiya has already told Guinevere, the woman who once pursued Quinn, that he is Quinn's student.

In this situation, the reason why Gareth would suddenly receive a letter from Guinevere is something that anyone with normal emotional intelligence can understand.

Guinevere is trying to send a signal to someone through Gareth.

Want to find your student? Then come to Ireland to look for them, but there's a catch...

Chapter 189

You already knew that you had to come and see me yourself.

I need to ask for leave; I'll make it up tomorrow.

I'm not feeling well, I'll catch up tomorrow.

Chapter 182 How Can You Be So Innocent?

The reunion of the Knights of the Round Table did not last long before they parted again. No one complained about the end of this brief meeting after a long separation. When the crisis facing Britannia was imminent, these knights, who knew right from wrong, were able to control their emotions well.

Following his intuition, Quinn guided the knights to find the Chaldea Masters. After watching them disperse and head towards various parts of Britannia, he returned to the castle and cautiously looked at Morgan, who sat silently with a cold face on the sofa by the fireplace in the hall.

"Want to come with me to Ireland?"

Quinn spoke cautiously, but even so, he only received a glance from Morgan in return. "If I go with you, it might interfere with your secret rendezvous with your little lover. You'd better not go."

“What lover? Don’t slander me.” Quinn was sweating profusely, but his words carried a hint of provocation. “Guinevere and I are completely innocent. You know me. If there were any relationship, she wouldn’t have been sent to Ireland by me.”

Unsurprisingly, for a fleeting moment, Morgan felt an urge to kill, but she couldn't refute it, because just as Quinn had said, if he really had any intimate relationship with Guinevere, Guinevere, the Queen of Ireland, would probably be living in the London court, not in Ireland.

In fact, if it were in the past, if Guinevere had invited Quinn to Ireland, Morgan wouldn't have stopped her even if he knew she had ulterior motives towards his husband. After all, Quinn was the Emperor of Britannia at that time, and Guinevere was also the powerful Queen. Guinevere, a mere Queen who had only received the Irish lands through an alliance, was no threat at all. But things are different now.

Ireland, as part of the British Isles, is one of the most powerful principalities in Britannia. Because Guinevere has always been loyal to her youngest daughter, the favors her ambitious daughter has bestowed upon it far exceed those of any other principality. It can be said that since Artoria's disappearance, Guinevere has become the most powerful candidate for regent.

The woman she once disregarded now wielded far more power than Morgan himself. If Guinevere were to do something absurd now, she truly had the guts to do it, for example…

They concealed the truth from the emperor and locked someone in a basement.

Even if the actual success rate of this operation is extremely low, Morgan feels uneasy as long as there is such a possibility. She feels as if she has returned to the state when she was a princess, with no one to rely on. She can't help but stare at Quinn, trying to find that sense of peace and security in the man.

Faced with Morgan, who was only staring at him with dissatisfaction and not saying a word, Quinn knew that words alone would not dispel the other's resentment. But he really had to go to Ireland; his good student was there, and he couldn't just ignore Emiya Haku.

Without a word, he picked Morgan up by the waist amidst her astonished gaze and began to walk towards the bedroom.

"Wait, what do you want to do? Put me down right now."

Morgan, already sensing what was about to happen, was furious and wanted to fight back. She wouldn't accept Quinn's attempt to get away with it this way. If he didn't give her an explanation today, she would never allow him to go to Ireland.

Morgan struggled with all his might, but the struggle posed no threat to Quinn. The only effect was that Quinn could no longer hold Morgan properly. Therefore, he decisively changed his position and directly tucked Morgan under his arm.

Now, feeling as humiliated as a puppy being lifted by the neck, Morgan resisted even more fiercely.

Morgan unleashed her fury on Quinn like a madwoman, simultaneously inflicting harsh words and merciless beatings on the man's mind and body. But even with such fierce resistance, it was all in vain. Lily and Mordred, standing to the side, stared at Morgan in bewilderment, unable to tell whether she was resisting or flirting.

A moment later, as they listened to Morgan's voice fading as Quinn led her into the room, they came to a conclusion.

That's flirting!

"So, Master really is her husband..." Mordred sighed unconsciously as she watched this scene. "I thought it was just an act."

Lily was speechless. She hadn't expected that Mordred, that brat, still didn't believe what Quinn had said. "Now you should believe me, right?"

“I have to believe it, otherwise, I find it hard to imagine that the Queen Mother would let someone else carry her.” After Mordred finished speaking, her curiosity was piqued. “No, I have to see what these two are talking about in private.”

"Ugh?"

Before Lily could react, she saw Mordred approach the locked door like a dog, pressing half her face against it and listening to what was happening inside. Watching this, the fairy of the park hesitated, but her understanding of Mordred's mischievous nature deepened.

Hey kid, it's obvious what those couple were planning to do when they went into the room and closed the door. Is it appropriate for you to be eavesdropping here?

The fairy in the park was exasperated and was about to speak up to stop him, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Mordred's originally curious face gradually turn red, and it became more and more red. Seeing that even such a naughty child was blushing, Lily's curiosity was immediately piqued as well.

Or... should I listen to it myself?
