Or, why don’t you find another savior?

A sword was stuck in the rock, and the magician shouted to the knights of the country.

Whoever pulls out this sword will become king.

Brave men, men who had faith in their own strength, and knights of great reputation all came to challenge the sword, but gave up because it did not budge at all.

What a bunch of idiots.

This sword is a weapon used to select the king. Only the chosen one who saves the country can pull it out. Yet you only want to pull it out by brute force. Even stupidity has its limits.

So, Mordred came to the Sword in the Stone, which no one cared about anymore.

"You are King Arthur's legitimate son, a clone of the king who copied his essence."

The voice of Queen Morgan sounded in her ears, words full of obsession and madness, reminding Mordred that she should also be qualified to draw the sword.

"So, what vow will you make to this sword? What will you entrust to it?"

The Queen Mother's tone suddenly changed, becoming distant and distant, saying something different from before.

Be a good king.

Implement the right policies, adopt the right strategies, and support the country with the right strength. What is wrong with absolute justice and absolute power?

Then, the dream woke up.

What appeared before my eyes was the Master's study room that I was familiar with.

At the other end of the sofa where Mordred was lying, there was a sound of paper rubbing against each other as a book was turned.

Without looking, you can judge the other person's identity just by their breath.

"Awake? Then get out early. The Holy Grail War isn't over yet." Morgan ordered calmly, "Fulfill your mission well, Mordred."

Mordred sat up, put his hands on his knees, leaned forward, and stared at Morgan who said these words without raising his head.

More than half a day had passed since the great battle at Einzbern Castle, and it was now evening.

After returning to the Shiomi family's house, because his magic power was severely depleted, Mordred simply lay down in the study to sleep and recover.

Since descending as a Saber, Mordred basically does not transform into a spirit unless necessary.

That would be boring and there would be no way to enjoy everything in this era.

"Why?" Mordred stared at Morgan's face.

"Since you are a servant, isn't it natural for you to do your best for your master?" Morgan said something completely correct.

"That's not what I'm asking!" Mordred's brows furrowed a little, "Why did you become a Servant? What is your wish?"

"No wishes. Servants are not free beings. They are just devices called "Guardians" that can be used at will." Morgan said.

Mordred didn't believe her.

Using King Arthur's bloodline, he created Mordred as an artificial human, and sent her to the Knights of the Round Table. Then he revealed her identity as the heir of Prince Arthur to her, bringing destruction to King Arthur's Britain.

In the memory of the rebellious knight, Morgan Le Feat was such a person.

"Huh?" Mordred did not fail to understand, but she was filled with numerous questions about Morgan in front of her. She asked the biggest question, "Are you really... the Queen Mother?"

Morgan finally raised his head and glanced at Mordred.

"No matter her looks, magic power, or personality, she is definitely my mother." Mordred placed his hands on the coffee table and stared at Morgan's face. "But my soul denies this fact!"

"I am really hot-blooded. Whether you believe it or not, I am Morgan le Fay." Morgan did not care about Mordred's reaction. "How you look at it is your freedom. It has nothing to do with me."

"Tsk..." Mordred was speechless and could only click his tongue in hatred.

At this point, as a servant, now that I am dead, I don’t know how to look at my mother.

The moment she manifested as a Servant, she never thought that she would meet Morgan in such a Holy Grail War.

At this moment, someone knocked on the study door and slowly opened it.

"Ah, it's over here as expected." Toosaka Rin stood at the door, "Saber, Sakura is calling you over."

"The Master called me? Why didn't she come here herself?" Mordred didn't understand.

Lin crossed his arms and thought for a moment: "I don't know, maybe he was afraid of interrupting your conversation. Have I disturbed you two?"

"No." Mordred said, and walked out from the sofa.

Anyone who opened the door just now would have seen Saber and Morgan looking at each other, and would have thought that they were arguing.

So Rin actually felt that maybe he came at the wrong time.

"Dinner is almost ready, Sakura, please come over later." Rin continued, "After dinner, there will be a combat meeting. In short, there are many things to do."

“Come to think of it, it seems that apart from me and your Archer, the only Servant who has not left is Caster, right?” Mordred looked at Rin and asked with a slightly provocative smile.

Rin also smiled brightly: "I don't know about that. After all, isn't there a Servant left here from the previous Holy Grail War?"

"more or less."

Having their conversation interrupted, Saber was in no mood to continue arguing with Morgan. She yawned and walked out of the study room from beside Rin.

Only Rin was left standing in the room, looking at Morgan who was there.

"What's up, Rin?" Morgan asked.

Lin walked over with his hands behind his back: "No, nothing. I just suddenly understood why Sakura is so powerful."

No wonder I never saw Sakura in the magic lessons at Shiomi's house.

It turns out there are better teachers.

"I've seen your fight with Sakura. As a magician, you underestimated your opponent when facing an opponent you had no information about." Morgan said, thinking for a moment, "Or maybe, because your opponent was your sister, you never thought of actually fighting?"

"Ahahaha..." Rin could only smile in response.

She really hadn't thought of using any ruthless force, and hoped that after controlling Sakura, Archer would deal with Saber.

It's not surprising that such a tactic would be said.

"However, the gem magic passed down from generation to generation by the Tosaka family is somewhat easily restricted by the materials." Morgan analyzed casually, "Since it has the properties of the five elements, we should make good use of this aspect."

As she spoke, her light blue eyes shone

"Magic circuits, 40 main parts, 30 auxiliary parts, can drive three kinds of magic at the same time. With such talent, magic shouldn't be so monotonous. Is there something wrong with the magic costume?"

"…Please give me some pointers."

Rin was already stunned, Morgan saw through her qualifications at a single glance.

With a teacher like this, it's no wonder that Sakura is incredibly strong.

Chapter 49: Complex Family Relationships

The Shiomi family's kitchen is particularly busy today.

In addition to Shiomi and Sakura, Archer is also helping.

This guy who looked like a tough guy actually cooked quite well, which stunned Mordred so much that he almost forgot to talk to Sakura.

"Dinner will have to wait a little longer. My magic power hasn't fully recovered since I came back." Sakura put down the cutlery on the table. "Saber, do you want to rest a little longer?"

"No need, it doesn't matter anymore." Modred pulled out a chair, sat down casually, held his chin with one hand, and watched the three people walking between the kitchen and the dining room without saying a word.

They were all people who were sensitive to sight, so they naturally noticed Mordred's gaze.

After Archer put the lid on the pot, he smiled happily and asked, "Is there anything you want to ask one of us, Saber? For example, your Master?"

"Stop nagging me. None of your business!" Mordred retorted unhappily.

"Regarding the matter of mother, I just thought that since we didn't know each other well, I had originally intended to keep it a secret until the end of the Holy Grail War." Sakura clasped her hands together and apologized to Saber, "In the end..."

"Uh... never mind, it's no big deal." Mordred couldn't get angry when he saw the Master's pitiful and sincere face.

He is a knight after all, and it is not nice to bully a girl like this.

——Although Mordred always forgets his own gender.

More importantly, Saber does not have too much obsession with her queen mother. She just understands that everything about her is part of her mother's plan, so she does not have a good impression of that kind of vicious woman.

But the Master is different. He seems to have grown up with his mother, but he doesn't have that unbelievable aura.

If so...

Thinking of this, Mordred looked at Shiomi, who was busy in the kitchen with his back to him.

It’s probably due to that man’s fault.

She and Shiomi have never really talked, but through the temporary cooperation when fighting against Berserker, she was able to glimpse Shiomi's true nature from the opponent's battle.

In terms of temperament, Sakura is closer to Shiomi.

"What a good father you have, Master!" Mordred praised without any reservation.

"Eh? Do you know now?" Ying was both happy and embarrassed.

It's obviously not her that was praised.

"Indeed, I think so too." Archer agreed. "Whether as a warrior, a magician, or a chef, he is impeccable."

More importantly, Shiomi has something that Archer admires.

That is to carry out the two identities of magician and father well to the end.

Although leaving the British witch behind to teach the child magic was a bit too much in Archer's opinion.

"It's no good to praise me so highly." Shiomi couldn't help laughing and shook his head. "And don't forget, if the Holy Grail War goes to the end, Saber, you and Archer will be enemies."

"You're such a realistic guy! Can't you just relax a little?" Saber was speechless.

Anyway, Saber felt extremely awkward when she thought that in some sense, she should call this guy "Dad" or something like that.

"That's right. Judging from the current situation, Saber and you are somewhat related." Archer spread his hands, jokingly pointing out the fact.

Sakura, however, seemed to have just realized something and covered her mouth: "Oh yeah... then wouldn't it mean that I and Saber--"

"Don't call me sister!" Mordred pointed at Sakura and protested, "And you can't call me brother either!"

"That's weird. No matter how you look at it, you should be the younger one." Archer complained sharply, "Apart from the fact that you were born in a different era, your actual age, according to the records of the legend, should not be more than ten years."

"…Archer, will you die if you don't speak?"

Mordred, who was hit on the mark with the truth, was a little angry and humiliated.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that she is an artificial human who grew up quickly under Morgan's magic and then joined the Knights of the Round Table.

"Oops, my apology." Archer apologized in a serious manner.

"What a bad character." Xijian couldn't help but feel a headache, "If a fight breaks out, I will ask your Master for the repair costs of the house decoration."

"The Tōsaka family is a famous family with abundant wealth. They should be able to afford to rebuild a new house after it's demolished." Archer seemed to be in a good mood, and when he became vicious, he even criticized his own Master.

Xijian raised his eyebrows and said, "No wonder there is only one stroke left of Rin's Command Seal. Let me guess, she used that extra stroke to make you obey, right?"

“Huh?” Saber was shocked. “Archer, you are such a rebellious guy.”

"The only thing I don't want is for you to say that, Saber." Archer countered calmly.

At this time, Sakura, who had been calculating for a long time, asked: "So, what is the relationship between me and Saber? How should we calculate our seniority?"

"Please don't dwell on this matter any more, Master?" Mordred was suddenly overwhelmed.

She actually has no concept of "family" and doesn't know how to get along with her family.

After all, I have absolutely no experience in that area.

Therefore, even though she cared deeply about Morgan's affairs, she was actually avoiding the real problems in her heart.

"Because, after being pointed out, I feel very close to Saber when I see her again." Sakura said quite frankly.

"You just want to be a big sister, right?" Shiomi teased. "Isn't the matter between Kallen and Gray enough for you to care about?"

"They are them, Saber is Saber, that's it." Sakura made the distinction very clear.

I want this and more, emphasizing the phrase “I want them all”.

"That's quite greedy." Archer praised in surprise.

"It's good, isn't it?" Shiomi thought it was normal. "People are born with various desires, and greed is just one of them. Most people are just suppressing this desire. Besides, greed can manifest in many forms."

He paused for a moment and said, "Wanting to save the world from all misfortune, wanting to start over, wanting to conquer the world... these are all manifestations of greed. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad."

These casual words unexpectedly silenced Archer and Saber.
