Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

Bagst scratched his face.

"I didn't notice."

"Is there even a need to pay attention to this?" Mei Liuqina pointed to the scene in front of her.

"Without the king's support, would she dare to undertake such a massive project so openly?"

"They're starting to peer into the abyss, aren't they?"

"Now that you mention it, you're right..."

Bagst nodded thoughtfully.

"Then, shall I go over and ask?"

"Should we go ask them?"

"Yes, that's right."

Bagst coughed softly twice.

"If I speak up, I should be able to get some information, right?"

"I mean... I should."

"Then, shall we go take a look?"

Before Bagst could answer her, Melyuchina had already walked towards Morgan's direction.

Her intuition told her that something she didn't know had definitely happened.

"Lord Morgan."

That's what Meiliuqina called her.

Since that White Dragon invasion, Morgan's status in Britain has risen steadily, and now he is second only to Artoria.

Considering the conflict between the two, this behavior is somewhat unusual.

"Oh?"

Morgan smiled slightly as he looked at Melyuchina and Bagst who had come to his side.

"Minister Melyuchina, Minister Bagst, what's wrong?"

"..."

As Morgan's first daughter, Bagst immediately sensed that the emotions conveyed in her mother's words had completely changed.

If she was resentful and mean before;

So now——

That is true gentleness and letting go.

just like……

It was as if some problems that had been weighing on her mind for many years had been resolved.

"I……"

"You want to know what we're doing right now, right?"

Morgan spoke first, as if he had anticipated his daughter Bagst's train of thought.

"There's nothing to hide."

"I now……"

Morgan turned around and looked at the magic apprentices who were constantly trying things out according to his orders.

"We're trying to find a way to turn everyone into dragons."

"..."

This answer did not surprise Melyuchina.

After all, this was something that was mentioned at the roundtable meeting.

"Can you really turn everyone into dragons just by messing around like this?"

"It just doesn't feel very reliable."

As soon as Mei Liuqina said those words unconsciously, she sensed something was wrong.

This is questioning Morgan. Given her personality, she'll definitely be angry, right?

however--

Things did not develop as Meryuchina had feared.

Faced with her questioning, Morgan didn't seem offended at all. On the contrary, she unusually and unexpectedly answered.

So, what makes you feel it's unreliable?

Tell me, Lady Meliuqina.

"Hey, this..."

It wasn't sarcastic or angry; it was a genuine desire to know where the confusion lay.

"Well, that's how it is."

Morgan is no longer as sharp as before.

Meiliuqina's attitude towards her naturally changed considerably.

For the next ten minutes or so, she poured out all her doubts to Morgan.

Soon, Melyuchina discovered something—

That is, aside from the veil of revenge and power struggle, Morgan was actually a very learned magician who also knew how to share his wisdom.

Even someone like myself, who has almost no experience with magic, and Bagus, could understand what she was planning to do from that example.

"I see."

Melyuchina nodded.

"Because the earth veins contain so much magic, it can't be extracted all at once. Instead, it has to be 'taken out' in batches from various places, like drying grain, right?"

"Yes, you understand what I mean."

Morgan's smile became much brighter than before.

"This is really great."

"Is there anything else?"

“If not, I want to continue my research; time is of the essence—I need to get these things done as soon as possible.”

"Can I...stay and help?"

Bagst asked cautiously.

"rest assured!"

"I'm very obedient!"

"..."

Morgan took Bagst's hand and nodded.

"of course can."

"And you, Mei Liuqinaqing?"

"I'm fine now," the petite swordsman quickly replied. "I just didn't quite understand. Since you have things to do, I won't bother you any longer."

"okay."

A clean answer.

Morgan, with his daughter whom he had reconciled with, walked toward the scene set up along the growth of the "tree".

However, she hadn't taken more than a few steps when she seemed to remember something and turned back.

“Mei Liuqina Qing”.

"You weren't thinking about anything else when you came over to ask so many questions, were you?"

"Consider other things?"

“Hmm.” Morgan nodded.

"It's... something you might have been doing secretly all along."

As the princess spoke, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"Probably not?"

"..."

"Uh, really?"

Mei Liuqina answered somewhat guiltily.

"That's good."

"If that's the case, the king might not let you off the hook."

Having said that, Morgan left with Bagst again without waiting for Melyuchina's reply.

Only Mei Liuqina remained, standing there somewhat bewildered.

In that brief moment, she could feel Morgan had returned to his original form.

but……

There are also some differences.

what exactly is it?

Just as Meiliuqina was puzzled, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

She turned around and saw that it was Bavanshi.

"Don't you think your mother has become very strange, little knight?"

"..."

“The way you’re talking…” Meliuchina looked at Bavanshi, “Do you know something?”

"of course I know."

Bavansh smiled in a manner strikingly similar to Morgan's.

"Mother—"

"She's already married to the same person as the king~"

"what!"

131. Melyuchina: What about mine?

"Wha, what..."

Listening to Bavanshi's words, Meliuchina vaguely sensed that her inner fears were coming true.

"What do you mean?"

"Your mother has married the same person as Wang. What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Oh~"

"It seems you don't know anything yet?"

Bavanshi shrugged.

"How pitiful."

"He was the first to sacrifice himself, but now he has received nothing. It's too tragic."

"No! How is that pitiful!"

Bavanshi's words made Melyuchina a little anxious.
