"Don't worry!"

"I will take you to see the princess."

For some reason, despite being sworn enemies, the knight felt that this madman was inexplicably pathetic and pitiful.

[You were taken out of the place where you were imprisoned. 】

[Along the way, you felt the strange looks from many knights on you. 】

[You know the reason why they are like this is because the rumors came true. Morgan, who is the princess, actually came to check on a defeated general who had been defeated by her countless times. 】

[But you are not happy because of this. The real thing to do is still behind. 】

"Your Majesty the Queen."

The knight said respectfully.

"I brought him here."

"Well, step back and let him come in."

A familiar voice came from behind the curtain, and before the knight beside him could urge him, Ian had already walked in.

There was no one else in the tent camp.

There was only one very familiar figure standing there - that was Morgan.

"Long time no see, Ian."

"My lady... long time no see."

Saying these words, Ian knelt down in front of Morgan.

And looking at him like this, the corners of Morgan's mouth also raised a small arc.

To be fair, she kind of missed the action.

"Ian, you know what?"

"Your surrender always makes me feel happy because it seems so worthless and you are trying to sell it to me like a desperate businessman."

"But my loyalty to you will never change, even if you don't need it, my dear princess."

Even though he was a prisoner, Ian still showed great respect for Morgan.

"Ian, I thought I said I wouldn't take you seriously."

Morgan walked up to Ian, his eyes no longer as disdainful as before.

"You are just a pawn that I can throw away at any time."

"Yes, my lady." Ian replied, "I have always known this, but I still want to do something for you."

"You are the princess to whom I am loyal, at all times."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ian felt his forehead being tapped.

[Morgan used magic to unlock you. 】

[They fell to the ground, making a dull sound, announcing your temporary freedom. 】

"It's much more pleasing to the eye when you kneel down like this." Morgan said.

"The failed assassin."

Ian knew that this was talking about his failure to assassinate Vortigern - and this was where he felt the most guilty.

"I'm sorry, my lady."

"I...failed to complete your commission."

"I had a premonition." Morgan sat back in his seat, "I never had any expectations for you, and naturally I won't be disappointed."

"I don't think you're good enough to kill Vortigern,"

"But I have to say——"

"Your performance really exceeded my expectations, and you achieved most of the goals I needed."

"So go on to be used as my pawn. I want to know how much value someone like you has left."

[You heard Morgan's words and realized she wasn't going to stop. 】

[You remembered what Vortigern said and had some concerns in your heart. 】

[As the most loyal knight to Morgan, you decide to tell everything. 】

[You see Morgan clenching her fists—a sign of displeasure. 】

"Ian! Do you, like Navortigern, think that I will lead the British army to destruction?"

"My Lady, I don't think so."

Ian said with great honesty.

"On the contrary, I feel that you are the most suitable person to lead the British army."

"But that is why I fear that you will suffer unnecessary loss in the process - and that is the loss of all of Britain."

Hearing this, Morgan looked away.

"Ian, do you really think that?"

"Yes, My Lady, my heart has always been this way. Where you are is the real Britain."

"..."

Morgan was silent for a long time before laughing at himself.

"Ian, you don't understand anything."

"I...have not been recognized as you said. This is the first time I have felt the call of the masses, and I cannot give up on it."

"I must show my ability to my father and make him realize my value, instead of..."

Morgan didn't go on.

It seemed that there were some things that she was not willing to tell Ian in front of her.

But Ian doesn't care that Morgan is hiding something from him - he only cares about the safety of the princess to whom he is loyal.

The humble king Vortigern is by no means a mediocre person.

A military confrontation with him is not a simple matter.

Fortunately, Ian had thought everything through before meeting Morgan - he had found a way.

"My Lady, in fact, you don't need to confront Vortigern head-on. There is a way to prove yourself to the king."

"In what way?"

"That is to fulfill my final role as a pawn."

Ian took a deep breath and spoke as calmly as possible.

"Before you see the white dragon, cut off its claws first."

"My Lady, if you bring me to the king, then kill me, the Minion of the White Dragon."

"In this way, your impressive achievements will definitely be recognized by the king."

13. My life will stop with your presence

[Morgan heard what you said. 】

[You find that in your heart you still hope that there will be a hint of reluctance on Morgan's face. 】

[But contrary to expectations, she did not cast a regretful look at you, she was still so indifferent, as if you just told her an ordinary thing. 】

[Although you were a little sad, you quickly accepted it all calmly. 】

[A knight is not qualified to ask for things from those he is loyal to. 】

"Ian."

Morgan's deep blue eyes reflected the figure of Ian before her.

"Do you know what you just said?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ian nodded, "I understand what all this means."

"My life will be brought to an end by you, the princess."

"..."

Morgan was silent for a while, then slowly said:

"Ian, do you want to make me feel guilty in this way?"

"No." Ian shook his head, "I know that you will never feel guilty because of me."

"I just want to fulfill my final role as a chess piece as you said. In this way, my life can be regarded as burning to the last moment."

"My Lady, I feel from the bottom of my heart that Britain should belong to you. There is no other choice."

[Morgan does not doubt your words. 】

[She knows your loyalty to her, and she also knows that you are really capable of doing such a thing. 】

[It’s just that she is still hesitating about something. 】

[You were thinking about whether it would be something related to you, and Morgan confirmed this for you. 】

"Ian, do you really think your death can bring that much value?"

Morgan's eyes looked very complicated.

"Are you...thinking too highly of yourself?"

"My Lady, although you may not believe all this, I still want to tell you."

"In the eyes of people other than you, I am already Vortigern's minion. Countless British knights have died in my hands. I have long been the enemy of the knights."

"And you, the princess—"

Ian raised his head and looked directly at Morgan in front of him, his eyes were loyal and firm.

"She is the invincible princess of Britain; she is also an invincible sword on the battlefield."

"It will be popular for you to execute me, and every knight will be very happy to see this."

"When my head falls to the ground, they will raise their swords and shout your name, and the virtuous king will also realize that your talent is no empty talk, and you will definitely make Britain continue to shine."

Vortigern said that Morgan was not suitable to be a king and she was not worthy to be his opponent.

But Ian doesn't believe this.

In his eyes, there was no one in Britain more suitable for the throne than Morgan.

"Ian, don't you regret doing this?" Morgan asked again.

"I will never regret it." Ian replied without hesitation. "I have never regretted it since I swore allegiance to you."

"..."

Morgan was silent for a long time.

"I understand, Ian."

"I will chop off your head in front of my father and bury it in the ground beneath my feet."

[No one knows the agreement you made that day. 】

[Morgan went on the road alone with you on the grounds that he wanted to bring you before King Uther for trial. 】

[No one is worried about this, because in their eyes, you are a complete defeat of Morgan, and it is impossible to hurt Morgan at any time. 】

[During this journey when no one else is involved, you and Morgan still get along as a princess and a knight. 】

[You hold her horse and lead her, and take care of her along the way. 】

[This makes you feel like you are back in time. 】
