Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

"That way, there won't be any problems."

"besides--"

Melyuchina turned around and looked at Ian behind her.

Her cold eyes now reflected only his image.

"I actually prefer concrete actions to mere apologies."

"You want me to come in, don't you?"

"Don't be so direct!"

Even so, when Ian actually lifted her veil, Melyuchina was happier than anyone else.

hateful……

When did it degenerate to this state?

I do not know!

But I don't want to think about it anymore!

Melyuchina's secret pregnancy plan is proceeding at full speed.

No one could have imagined that, deep within the king's palace, the woman who used to seem so unapproachable, known as the "ice-like knight," would actually degenerate into such a state.

Three times a day, just like eating.

During rest, I could barely walk steadily; every moment, my body was filled with the magic of the dragon.

"Little one, what's wrong with you?"

"Why do you keep touching your lower back all day long? It looks like you're injured."

While drinking with Melyuchina, Bagst couldn't help but ask this question.

After all, from her perspective, her old partner's reactions these past few days have been noticeably different.

He felt better and talked more.

The only thing that seemed off was that he kept touching his lower back, which looked quite sore.

but--

On this basis, Bagst could also hear the happiness contained in those words.

"This one……"

"Children, don't ask so many questions."

Meiliuqina swirled the wine in her glass and then gulped it down.

"This is an adult's problem."

"what?"

Bagst felt like his hair was about to stand on end.

"What are adult worries anyway!"

"You talk as if you've done a lot more than me!"

"That's quite a lot."

"At least--"

Meliuchina used her thumb and forefinger to indicate the size.

"A little over a billion, I guess."

"Meliuqina, explain yourself clearly!"

"I won't tell."

Melyuchina smiled.

"You'll know when the time comes anyway."

"No, tell me!"

"Don't tell me, don't tell me!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of Camelot.

Artoria and Morgan stood atop the castle, gazing into the distance.

“I never expected you to do this, Artoria.”

Morgan rested his hand on the wall, his expression as playful as ever.

"They actually found Meiliuqina to help you with the test."

"Ah."

"I knew I underestimated you, Artoria."

"But you don't object to doing this, do you, sister?"

Withdrawing her gaze from the distant border, Artoria turned to look at her sister, Morgan.

"If you really disliked doing this, you wouldn't have let Ian go to her, would you?"

"..."

It's not that I don't dislike it.

Morgan sighed softly.

“But I think it would be much better to let Melyuchina try it first rather than let you take the risk.”

"Furthermore, the existence of Melyuchina has indeed made me think about a problem."

"One question that's not really appropriate to bring up with Ian."

"Is there such a thing?"

Artoria clearly seemed interested.

"Sister, now that things have come to this, can you tell me what happened?"

"..."

"I'm thinking……"

Morgan looked at the trees in the distance that were growing straight up to the sky.

That is something that could never be made by human power.

Could the birth of Melyuchina be related to that 'tree' that we cannot understand?

"You mean, Melyuchina brought the 'tree'?"

"Do not."

Morgan shook his head.

"I don't think it's possible."

"However, the relationship between that tree and her is probably much closer than we imagine."

"So, this is actually an experiment—"

"us……"

"Whether we can make use of the power from the 'tree' or not, perhaps Meryuchina will give us the answer."

"Sister, you really like Britain."

Artoria couldn't help but sigh.

"Father, perhaps it was a terrible mistake to have no choice at the time?"

“No.” Morgan shook his head again.

"I am actually very grateful for this."

“If Father and Camelot had chosen me from the beginning, you and Ian would never have met.”

"And if you and he hadn't met, there wouldn't be this unity we have now."

"Although Camelot isn't perfect right now, at least—"

"I love so much."

"elder sister……"

Artoria's lips curled up slightly.

"That's right."

"Nobody knows what the other option would have been."

"But sister, are you planning to just let Meliuchina get pregnant naturally like this? Wouldn't that seem a bit strange?"

"Of course it can't just happen naturally."

Morgan responded.

"Now that she's mentally prepared, we need to respond in kind."

"Wha, what do you mean?"

"Artoria."

Morgan's eyes sharpened.

"Don't you want to see how an outstanding child receives all sorts of blessings?"

151. The Birth of Galahad

"A blessed child?"

"That sounds really exciting."

Artoria had no doubt about Morgan's statement.

"So what do you plan to do, sister?"

"If Melyuchina really wanted to get pregnant, this would be her first child, right?"

Will she allow you to do this?

"and--"

"If we're really talking about it, how did you manage to pass on your blessings to your children, sister?"

"Could it be... that my sister tried this before?"

"If I tell you the truth, will you be angry, Artoria?" Morgan said softly.

Artoria shook her head.

"I've already vented all my anger, sister."

"Right now, all I want to know is what you'll do."

"..."

Morgan paused for a moment, then spoke softly.

“Because I’ve already tried it on Bagst and Bavanshi, sister.”

"As expected."

"Those two people are your children, right?"

Altria nodded.

"I understand."

"In that case, I can rest assured."

"You don't seem to mind this at all, Artoria," Morgan said, somewhat puzzled. "Isn't this tantamount to planting one of my people in your Knights Order?"

"But in the end nothing happened, didn't it, sister?"
