"What's wrong, what's strange?" Artoria asked, and when she saw Merlin give a very subtle smile, she felt a bit annoyed. Artoria had always treated Merlin as a respected teacher, but honestly, now she probably understood why Empress Morgan and Master Scathach wanted to beat Merlin up so much. If you know something, just say it quickly! Why drag it out, deliberately teasing people?
Uathach looked at Merlin, then suddenly clapped her hands. "Oh, right, right! Speaking of which, Mom just said that if I saw Merlin come back, I should let her know. She wants to spar with Merlin again. Perfect, I'll go tell her now."
Artoria was stunned, muttering to herself, "Empress Morgan also said something similar, apparently asking Vivian to help out too, saying they'd drag him out even if he fled into Avalon..."
"Shall we go inform them first, Lily?" Uathach turned and grinned at Artoria. Then, the two of them, right in front of Merlin, prepared to leave the room. Merlin, no longer bothering to play mysterious, quickly stepped
forward to stop them.
"Lily, Uathach... anything can be discussed. Spreading
rumors casually isn't what a good child does, you know?" Seeing their unmoved expressions and their gazes fixed on him, Merlin sighed helplessly. "Oh, dear, I know, I know. I'll tell you what happened to King Arthur, so please don't tell Scathach and Morgan that I'm back."
"Then tell us first, what exactly did you mean by 'strange'?" Uathach said, arms crossed, looking at Merlin coldly.
"King Arthur?" Artoria muttered. "You rarely call him
that before."
"Well... various things have happened," Merlin said with a smile. "He's not a qualified king, but he has fulfilled the duties a king should." Although the process seemed a bit dramatic, overall, Asher's performance quite satisfied him. In a sense, Asher had also saved humanity, although his way of thinking seemed more emotional than rational. But a king who understands people's hearts isn't bad either.
Uathach lightly coughed, signaling Merlin to get to the point.
"Wait, let me think about how to phrase this. I haven't used my brain in so long, it feels like it's rusting." After thinking for a while, Merlin said, "You should know that there's a divine spirit residing in Asher's body, right?"
"Sister Scathach mentioned it. Is what you just said about 'strange' related to that divine spirit?" Uathach asked.
"You must have watched the live broadcast before, right?" Merlin asked again. "It's like a dream, but it's actually a real live broadcast."
"Are you saying that Ash's true self-awareness isn't in the room right now, but somewhere else?" Artoria roughly understood Merlin's words.
"Exactly, that's it," Merlin said slowly. "By the way, this time I can't show King Arthur's dreams anymore."
"Why?" Uathach asked instinctively.
"Yes, yes, that's right! At this point, someone should ask 'why' to make one more willing to answer," Merlin pointed at Uathach and gave a thumbs-up, then continued: "Because this situation is special, and I can't go into more detail."
"Will it cause any harm to Ash's body?" Artoria asked.
"No, that won't happen. When the clone dies, the main body will awaken. That's something that won't change no matter what," Merlin said with a smile.
In other words, although Tiamat was currently holding Asher like a hug pillow and sleeping, in reality, the conscious clone had been taken away by another woman. Hmm... described in human terms, it seems quite exciting.
Uathach looked at Merlin, blinked, and leaned close to Artoria's ear, deliberately speaking loudly: "Lily, this old man's smile is so lewd."
Merlin almost stumbled and fell, coughing forcefully. "Call me Big Brother Merlin, or if that's too much, Merlin is fine. How do I look like an old man?"
"Okay, Uncle Merlin!" Uathach quietly closed the door,
then turned and asked, "When will Ash wake up?"
"I told you, call me Big Brother!"
"Whatever, I just want to know when Ash will wake up,
Uncle Merlin." Uathach said.
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Girls acting like this aren't very likable, you know?"
"Ah, there it is, that scene where an old man is earnestly
lecturing a little girl," Uathach said in a flat tone.
Merlin scratched his head. "Even I get discouraged when told that."
"Merlin, I also want to know, when will Ash wake up?" Artoria also asked.
"If you could just call me Big Brother Merlin"
"Big Brother Merlin," Artoria called out cleanly.
Merlin's expression froze for the first time, then he replied with a brilliant smile: "I'm temporarily unsure when King Arthur will wake up, but don't worry, it won't be too long."
"You said nothing useful," Uathach retorted. "Let's go, Lily, let's head to the training grounds. Maybe Ash will wake up by tonight."
After the two girls left, Merlin turned back to the closed
door, trying to push it open. But as soon as his hand touched the doorknob, he felt a repulsive sensation. Without a doubt, this was Tiamat's doing. It was as if there was a sign on the door saying "Merlin, No Entry."
"Alright, alright, I'll just go back to my tower," Merlin shook his head, turned and walked out of the corridor, muttering, "Big Brother Merlin... Hmm, that's a nice title."
The sun was setting. Amidst the shifting light and shadows, the room door quietly opened.
"Yo, you're here, Lily," Asher turned his head, raising his hand to greet the woman who looked exactly like Artoria.
Artoria said nothing, stepping into the room and closing the door, casually taking off her cloak.
"Logically, summoning a Servant should have a reason, right? What was your purpose in summoning me?" Asher continued to ask.
"Reason?" Artoria repeated, her emerald eyes subtly glinting with gold. She suddenly stepped in front of Asher and lifted him with one hand.
Asher's eyelids twitched. This Lily is too short-tempered. What's with the sudden physical aggression? "Calm down, I'm just asking a question... If you don't want to answer, that's fine!"
Artoria paused slightly, staring into Asher's eyes: "Stay obediently in your room until the wedding preparations
are complete."
Asher was stunned. The Lion King summoned him... just
for a wedding? And she really plans to make him queen? This is simply ridiculous! He's a man! How could he be a queen?! What is going on in this place?
"Actually... you've got the wrong person," Asher said in a very tactful tone, afraid of angering Artoria. He felt that this woman's temper was too different from the Lily he knew. Just looking at her made him feel she was very irritable, or rather... she gave off an aggressive vibe.
"Wrong person? Are you playing with me?" Artoria looked down at Asher.
"No, I'm not playing with you, you really have the wrong person." Asher raised his hand, and several golden circles appeared behind him. A trace of surprise appeared in
Artoria's eyes for the first time.
"Actually, I am Gilgamesh. Have you heard of Gilgamesh?" Asher asked. "The oldest King of Heroes is this King!"
Looking at the silent Artoria, Asher answered earnestly, "My King, I accepted the summoning not for a wedding or anything. If there are other tasks you need me to do, I am willing to serve you." Since the person in front of him was Artoria, who had been deified under the influence of the Holy Lance, she shouldn't have any memories of him. He did need to figure out this singularity, but not by sacrificing himself like this.
Artoria looked at Asher's face and suddenly smiled. Then, she raised her hand, grabbed Asher, turned and threw him to the ground, then straddled him, her knees resting perfectly on his wrists that he tried to raise. Her finger traced his lips, then she leaned down and kissed his lips,
biting them hard.
Damn, that was a harsh bite... Asher complained in his mind.
"I just told you," Artoria lightly licked the blood oozing from Asher's lips, staring into his eyes. "You just need to wait for the wedding to begin." "If there's anything else you need to do, then you might as well think about how to become a qualified queen right now, for example, tonight..."
"Tonight?" She wiped the blood from Asher's lips, her eyes dim. "Spend some time talking with me."
