The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Aguiwen's tone seemed very conflicted, and it was obvious that he was a little embarrassed about this problem.

Seeing this, Ian continued:

"Against the grain, hesitation is not a good quality for a knight."

"..."

A Guiwen seemed to be encouraged again, and he quickly said:

"Father."

"I want to know if the assassination attempt you suffered during the campaign against Vortigern cost you any indelible price."

"Ok?"

Although he didn't know why Aguiwen asked such a question, Ian still shook his head in agreement.

"No, not at all."

This is not the man trying to be tough, but it is the fact.

There may have been some cost originally - but after spending a long time with Altria, it seemed that she had cleverly resolved all of this with Avalon.

However, realizing that this definitely couldn't be told to Ah Guiwen, Ian quickly added.

"After all, I'm a knight who's supposed to protect the King for the rest of my life—how could a wound like that possibly affect me?"

"..."

Agui Wen opened his mouth slightly, as if he was facing some extremely sacred and inviolable oath.

Finally, he said as if he had made up his mind:

"Father."

"I want to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"..."

Ah Guiwen looked at both sides of the corridor and confirmed that there was no one else before he continued;

"actually……"

"Mother has been asking me to keep an eye on you and the king."

649. Morgan's gradually deteriorating love / The awakening of the chess pieces (4k)

"..."

"..."

Almost at the moment when Agui Wenwen said this, Ian felt that the time around him suddenly stopped.

It was a feeling of everything being still, as if everything had lost its original meaning at this moment.

After a long while, the man finally came back to his senses and said to Ah Guiwen in front of him:

"Are you...kidding me?"

"How could your mother send you to spy on me and the king?"

"..."

Perhaps he had known that his father Ian would have this reaction, or perhaps he had seen this scene countless times in his fearful dreams.

Agui Wenwen's throat moved slightly, and then he nodded as if he had mustered up the courage.

"Although it may sound a little unbelievable."

"but--"

"Father, this is true."

"Mother has long ago... No, I should say since you returned from the front, she has instructed me to 'keep a close eye on you and the King's every move.'"

"I can guarantee this with my life."

"..."

Ian felt as if his breathing was half frozen.

He had imagined many ways that Morgan might doubt him, but he had never imagined it would be like this.

Using herself and her children as "tools" to achieve de facto "surveillance".

but--

The knight was not at all surprised.

After spending so many years with Morgan, he already knew that she was a rather suspicious person.

When talking, they will pay attention to whether there are people around, and even monitor the flow of air, for fear that their voices will be heard by outsiders.

Then it doesn't seem impossible to do something like this.

but……

Do you really want to do this?

Even if I am not her real husband, I would not ask...

"Father?"

Agui Wen's voice reached Ian's ears, bringing the man who was lost in Morgan's behavior back to reality.

What the knight saw was the fear and trepidation of his son Agui Wen.

"Did I...do something too extreme?"

"..."

You realize that it took Agui Wenshi a lot of courage to confess all this to you.

If you blame him at this time, it may lead to some unexpected consequences.

【So--】

Treat him differently.

[After all, in a sense, he was just a "good boy" who honestly fulfilled his promise.]

【At least... we shouldn't blame him too much at this moment.】

"Yes."

Ian confirmed the facts in Agui's words without hesitation.

"This is indeed an extreme act—spying me is still tolerable, but spying on the king, wouldn't that be perfectly acceptable to you?"

"Ah Guiwen, this alone is enough to make me scrap all my previous confidence in you."

"I……"

Aguiwen looked like he wanted to say a few words in his own defense.

But faced with the ironclad facts before him, this knight, who had never been good at expressing his emotions, was helpless.

He lowered his head, hoping that this would show his apology.

but--

This situation did not last long.

Because after criticizing Agui's article, Ian quickly shifted the subject to another direction - that is, praising and affirming his behavior at the moment.

"Although what you did before was indeed a bit outrageous."

"But since you've confessed all of this now, it means you're still resisting it in your heart—it's just that you may have awakened a little too late."

"Ah Guiwen, can you tell me why you have such an awareness?"

"Eh?"

A Guiwen raised his head and looked at his father in front of him in disbelief.

He had expected that harsh scolding would be followed by another rebuke from his father.

but it is not the truth.

Aguiwen felt something in his heart was gently touched.

Soon, he expressed what was in his mind.

"Father."

"Because I saw how the country had changed—something my mother had never mentioned before."

"I think... King Arthur is the most suitable king for this country. He is the chosen king who can bring Camelot to greater prosperity."

"so……"

Aguiwen took out his dagger - it was a deadly hidden weapon given to him by his mother Morgan, full of curses and resentment.

His eyes were filled with emotion.

"I can't trust my mother anymore."

"I want to follow the king and her glory just like you."

"My life before this was already on thin ice, and at least this time—I want to make it to the other side."

"..."

These are the words that Agui Wen said from the heart.

Ian looked at him holding the dagger and couldn't help but feel some empathy.

His wife... no, it should be said that Morgan, the woman he has been pursuing, has done so many extremely disgusting things.

To be able to twist Ah Guiwen's cognition into this state...

"I see."

Ian forced a smile that barely qualified as warm.

"If—if you really hope to follow in the footsteps of King Arthur, then from now on, don't do this kind of thing."

"Ah Jianwen, come with me and become a true knight."

"..."

"Hmm!" Agui Wen threw the dagger in his hand to the ground.

"Father, I will!"

[This is an agreement that only you and Ah Guiwen know about.]

[You took the dagger that Morgan gave him into your own hands.]

[From now on, Aguiwen will no longer be a despicable assassin fighting for his mother Morgan, but will become a Knight of the British Round Table following Altria.]

You prepared a story for him so that he could handle everything that happened next.

[During this exchange, you discovered that although he was only confessing these things now, he hadn't previously shared much that could be considered intelligence with Morgan.]

[This is a knight's last conscience—you believe it so firmly.]

【But--】

[Is this really the end of the matter? ]

In the princess's room.

Ian sat in the empty room, looking at the dagger in his hand thoughtfully.

At this moment, he was not in the mood to pay attention to why Morgan was not here, but was looking carefully at the weapon that Agui Wen had handed to him.

So familiar.

Not just ordinary familiarity.

The man looked at it with a slight frown, and began to try to compare it with the memory that was still active in his mind.

This is definitely not the first time I have seen this dagger.
