Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

"Don't worry yet."

Morgan put down his glass.

"Baghster, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"you--"

Morgan looked directly at his daughter.

"Do you think the feelings between Artoria and Ian are genuine?"

"Wha, what do you mean?"

Bagst was somewhat bewildered.

"If it's not true love, what else could it be?"

"They're getting married already? Would they get married if they didn't have feelings for each other?"

“Logically speaking, that is indeed the case—” Morgan said softly, “but the problem is that Artoria is not an ordinary person.”

"Bagust, have you forgotten her most important identity?"

"The most important identity."

Bagst pursed his chin and began to think seriously.

Soon, she had an obvious answer.

"You mean..."

"The king's identity?"

“That’s right.” Morgan nodded.

"Artoria is a queen, and every queen has to consider one question—"

"That is... one's own offspring."

"Ok?"

Bagst vaguely sensed something.

She just wasn't sure yet.

"Mother, are you saying that her contact with Ian is related to her offspring?"

"Yes, my child."

Morgan confirmed Bagst's statement.

"If you were Artoria, what would you want for your offspring?"

"Of course! We hope he's powerful enough to smoothly take over his kingdom!"

"This is not to be taken for granted..."

Bagst paused for a moment halfway through his sentence.

That hazy feeling became completely clear, no longer as vague as before.

"You mean..."

"Did the king take a liking to Ian so that he could have a strong offspring?"

"Yes."

Morgan nodded, a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Just how powerful would the offspring of a knight who can transform into a dragon at any time, combined with Artoria herself, be?"

“Baghster, you should know better than anyone else.”

"..."

The strong female swordswoman looked at her hands.

She understood what Morgan meant.

A large part of his power comes from Ian.

That's why I have a similar physical strength to him, as well as superhuman strength.

If--

If Artoria really considered this aspect...

As the chief of the Knights of the Round Table, with a proven track record of protecting Camelot on numerous occasions, and also a dragon, Ian was indeed the best choice.

"Mother, so the King is marrying Ian not because he likes her, but because the royal court needs him?"

"Yes, my child."

"This is the truth about this wedding."

Morgan's lips curled up slightly.

"Do you want to see your father fall into that abyss from now on?"

"No, I don't want to!"

Bagst answered almost without hesitation.

"What should I do?!"

"Mother, tell her!"

"take it easy."

There is still time.

Morgan stroked his daughter's head.

However, there was a hint of exploitation in the way she looked at her.

"Your relationship with him is our weapon."

"The chief knight of the Round Table has an illegitimate daughter—"

"This can't be a small matter, can it?"

93. Melyuchina: Where did he get an illegitimate daughter from?!

A sunny day.

The construction of the new city walls of Camelot is nearing completion.

only--

Meiliuqina's mind was no longer on this matter.

She quietly moved closer to Bagst, who was energetically carrying timber, and then muttered to herself.

"Hey, big guy, did you hear that?"

"Ian, it seems he has an illegitimate daughter."

This is not mere nonsense from Melyuchina.

In recent days, as Artoria's wedding date has approached, all sorts of strange rumors have started circulating in the city.

Some questioned whether what Artoria did was a good thing or not;

Some people suspect that Ian may have done something wrong;

But the most outrageous, yet widely accepted, rumor is this one—

“Ian, there is an illegitimate daughter in Camelot.”

This is clearly not something that can be accepted casually.

To know--

This is the man that Queen Camelot has taken a liking to.

If he has an illegitimate daughter outside the marriage, wouldn't that be equivalent to betraying her?

Since betrayal is involved, the so-called wedding should also be denied.

but……

To Mei Liuqina's surprise, the so-called source of the rumors was standing right in front of her.

"You've heard about it too?"

Bagst coughed twice.

Has it already spread this widely?

You seem very happy—

Meiliuqina frowned.

"Is this a good thing for you?"

"Nothing!"

Bagst waved his hands repeatedly.

"I'm just really surprised!"

"after all--"

"Ian seems so serious, doesn't he?"

“He’s not serious at all!” Mei Liuqina exclaimed.

"Just someone who likes to shoot—"

"shoot……?"

Bagst looked puzzled.

"what is that?"

"nothing!"

Realizing she had said something inappropriate, Meliuchina quickly stopped talking.

Fortunately, Bagst didn't seem to realize what was happening.

She breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed the subject.

"It does not matter."

"Hey, big guy, do you think this rumor is true? Something doesn't feel right to me—"

"You asked this..."

Bagst's eyes darted away.

How do I know if it's true or not?

"..."

Mei Liuqina crossed her arms over her chest.

"But didn't you just say you thought Ian was very serious?"

"Bagust, you don't know anything, do you—"

"How would I know anything!"

Bagst lied.

However, she looked somewhat clumsy in this way.

"Little one, do you think I would keep quiet if I knew something?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"Judging from your tone, you think there's something wrong with this statement, right? Then do you know something that you haven't told me?"

"I……"
