When Merlin saw that the man was following him, he already realized that there was no escape.
"It's good that you understand there's no escape. Now listen to me, you fool trying to act human. The girl behind you is now under my watch, so get lost."
Antares said all of this without any emotion.
But Merlin understood the meaning behind it.
Merlin turned to Lily and asked, "Lily, what did you want from that being?"
Lily snapped out of her shock. "I asked him to save Camelot."
Merlin's eyes widened. This being could definitely do it.
But Merlin's thoughts were interrupted by a voice.
"Ah, fool. I'll help you, but all I'll do is train you. I can save this insignificant country myself, but where's the fun in that?"
Antares spoke with only a grin on his face.
Lily shouted, "Then train me as you said and keep your word!"
Antares didn't expect this from Lily; he was expecting resistance.
Ah, Merlin must have taught this girl a few things.
Antares: "Merlin, do you have any objections? Or should I take you on a tour of Qialaphot? At most, you'll go insane."
Merlin wiped his imaginary sweat. "No need. Lily is in your hands. My only request is that you truly help her."
Antares: "So be it. From now on, Lily, I am your master. You must show me respect."
Lily was excited. "Hai hai!"
Antares stepped forward and patted her head.
"Good girl. Now it's training time. Show me where you live."
Merlin did as needed and teleported them.
They appeared in front of Sir Ector's house.
Kay had been very worried since Lily disappeared and was waiting in front of the house.
When they arrived, Kay woke up and was happy to see Lily, but Merlin and the unknown man with her made Kay feel uneasy.
Merlin got straight to the point: "Kay, you have a new master. Be happy."
Kay's eyes widened. Was Merlin serious? The master he was referring to must be the red-haired man next to him.
He immediately kneeled: "I greet my master."
Antares just chuckled: "Sweet thing, I like you. From now on, I'm your master, and believe me, you won't find anyone better to teach you..."
Before Antares could finish, a man with yellow hair, similar to an English gentleman, appeared.
Just as he was about to say something, Merlin sent a telepathic message: "Sir Ector, please don't act foolishly, or the end will be worse than death. This man is now Lily's teacher, by the order of King Uther."
Merlin spoke the lie, but at least this lie would keep them from dying.
Sir Ector simply gave a normal greeting: "Welcome, this is now your home, Lily and Kay's master."
Antares nodded.
He walked around the house; it wasn't bad.
Now it was time to train the little dragon.
