[Forced by the facts, you had to admit that the three-fold enhanced Gawain, blessed by a saint and one of the most famous figures in all of Britain, was indeed a force to be reckoned with.]
[That was truly the strength of a top-tier Servant.]
[Even though you had comprehended your own unique Noble Phantasm, 『Myriad Forms of the Flowing Spirit, a Hundred Waves of Change』, you could only suppress the three-fold enhanced Gawain, not completely defeat him.]
[And he, who had originally wanted to rely on the blessing of the Numeral of the Saint to drag things out until your mana was exhausted, was surprised to find that your offensive was as endless as flowing water, in no way inferior to his own endurance.]
[And so, after dragging the time until sunset, Gawain, having lost the saint's blessing, was no longer your match and was knocked to the ground by you.]
[You won this battle.]
[Although Gawain was very reluctant and unwilling, he abided by the rules set before the duel and fulfilled all his vows, namely, to publicly apologize to Morgan and acknowledge her as the legitimate successor to Camelot.]
[You believe that soon, this news, along with the news of your duel with Gawain, will reach the new Camelot and the ears of that queen who occupies your thoughts.]
[Through this battle, the news of your victory over the Sun Knight Gawain shocked all of Britain.]
[Skill 『Lion of Britain (C+)』 evolves into → 『Lion of Britain (B+)』]
[And Gawain, after his defeat, still did not choose to leave. Instead, he wanted to continue persuading you to go back to the White Chalk Castle with him and join King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.]
[You were a little tired of dealing with this gorilla's entanglement.]
[You really wanted to tell him that your relationship with Morgan was far from what he understood, but you knew that before Morgan actively acknowledged your relationship, you had no right to make your own assumptions.]
[And so, after some thought, you felt that the time was ripe. It was time to announce to Britain that you would submit to Morgan.]
[But just then, you heard a piece of news.]
[The Tyrant King Vortigern had personally led his army to this town, supposedly to find someone.]
"Britomart, I think we have to leave immediately."
After carefully listening to the messenger's news, Cang Ye turned to look at Britomart beside him, his expression more solemn than ever before.
"Mhm, I understand."
Britomart nodded, her little face also becoming serious.
Although as a fae, she didn't know much about the so-called Tyrant King Vortigern, Britomart understood that someone who could make Cang Ye show such a serious attitude was definitely not an ordinary person.
Perhaps he was the current tyrant of Britain, the "Grantorto."
But Gawain, who was beside them, was a little emotional.
"How can this be?! How could Vortigern suddenly come here? What does he want!"
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Gawain's gaze suddenly turned to Cang Ye, a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, Vortigern's target should be me. He must want to kill me before I return to the Knights of the Round Table."
"I'm sorry, Lamorak. I didn't fulfill my responsibility as an older brother and brought you into danger."
He said guiltily.
Then, without waiting for Cang Ye to react, Gawain took the initiative to propose that they separate. He would attract Vortigern's attention, and Cang Ye should quickly leave from another direction.
Watching Gawain's figure hurriedly walk in the direction the messenger had come from, Cang Ye's eyes were full of helplessness.
This guy really doesn't listen to a single word. He even kept trying to persuade me to join King Arthur's camp before he left.
But to be honest, Cang Ye didn't dislike Gawain.
Although it was because of him that Gawain's hatred for Morgan was far greater than in history, and Morgan was Cang Ye's reverse scale, meaning there was an irreconcilable conflict between them.
But none of this prevented Cang Ye from having his own opinion of him.
After all, he was the invincible and gentle Sir Gawain.
"But, is Vortigern really here for Gawain?"
For some reason, Cang Ye always had a faint sense of unease.
So after some thought, Cang Ye made a decision.
"Let's go, Britomart. We can't stay in the town any longer. Let's go hide in the mountains first. In that terrain, we can also avoid encountering the Tyrant King's cavalry."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Realizing the urgency of the situation, this fairy girl also put away her usual playful nature and obediently agreed with Cang Ye.
And so, the two of them no longer hesitated and turned to walk into the mountains.
And as it turned out, Cang Ye's unease was indeed justified.
[Less than three days after entering the mountains, you found that the originally sparsely populated forest was now filled with the figures of Anglo-Saxon soldiers. They were in groups of three to five, forming many small teams, as if they were searching for someone or something in the mountains.]
[You knew in your heart that the previous rumors were not false. The Tyrant King Vortigern had really noticed you, and even now, coming to this territory with great fanfare, was also to find you.]
[More or less, you could guess why Vortigern was looking for you.]
[But you also understood that there was no possibility of you and Vortigern working together. You could not betray Morgan and Britain as the Tyrant King's blade, to harm the land that Morgan cherished.]
[And so, you decided to run.]
[You knew that running was a profound art, and a qualified knight must learn and master this powerful skill.]
[After all, 'knight' doesn't just refer to those who believe in the code of chivalry.]
[Kamen Riders are also knights, and running away is also called a strategic retreat.]
[But even with the help of Britomart's fairy wind, you still couldn't escape this forest in the end.]
[At dusk one day, you met an old man with a full head of white hair and a vigorous spirit.]
[The old man called himself Vortigern. There was no doubt about this, because you felt a sense of familiarity from him.]
[It was the aura of being chosen by the 『Afterglow of the Divine Age』.]
[After realizing that there was no way to escape, you chose to attack Vortigern, and this time Britomart also joined in.]
[But even with the two of you together, you still couldn't shake Vortigern. His strength was far beyond your imagination.]
[And after defeating you, Vortigern did not choose to kill or forcibly recruit you.]
[On the contrary, this prophesied calamitous White Dragon sat down and talked with you.]
"You are younger than I imagined."
Vortigern sat on a fallen log, holding a wild rabbit he had somehow obtained, and skillfully roasted it over a bonfire.
Opposite him, also sitting on a log, were Cang Ye and Britomart, who was tightly hugging his arm.
This scene was like a warm picture of an old man taking his grandson and granddaughter for a picnic in the woods.
But Cang Ye dared not agree. You have to know that not long ago, it was this old man, who looked no different from an ordinary old man, who had easily defeated him and Britomart's combined forces with unparalleled strength and subdued them.
So at this moment, although Cang Ye and Britomart could feel that Vortigern opposite them was completely relaxed and had no hostile intentions, they still stared at him as if facing a great enemy.
Seeing Cang Ye and Britomart like this, Vortigern sighed helplessly.
"Don't be so nervous, Lamorak. Although we just fought, you should also have noticed that I don't want to kill you."
"I came to find you just to talk. How about it? Lamorak."
Hearing this, Cang Ye frowned slightly. He thought for a moment and finally spoke.
"But what can we possibly talk about?"
He had killed so many of Vortigern's soldiers and several of his generals. Their relationship seemed irreconcilable.
Cang Ye couldn't understand why Vortigern was still willing to sit down and calmly say he wanted to talk to him.
And the other party seemed to have anticipated Cang Ye's thoughts. Vortigern's expression was calm, his face held a kind smile, but the words he spoke made Cang Ye's breath catch and his expression change.
"Things to talk about?"
"We have too many things to talk about, Lamorak."
"We can talk about your relationship with my niece, Morgan. We can talk about this fae companion of yours who has appeared in Britain for some reason. And."
"Most importantly, the reason why I came to find you."
"The secret of the demise of the Divine Age, and the secret between you and me."
