My Life Will Cease for Your Arrival

[Morgan heard your words.]

[You found that you still hoped for a hint of retention on Morgan's face.]

[But contrary to your wishes, she didn't look at you with regret. She was still so indifferent, as if you had just told her something ordinary.]

[Although you were a little sad, you soon accepted it calmly.]

[A knight is not qualified to ask for anything from the person he is loyal to.]

"Ian."

Morgan's deep blue eyes reflected Ian's figure.

"Do you know what your words just now mean?"

"Yes, princess." Ian nodded, "I understand what it all means."

"My life will be ended by you personally."

"..."

Morgan was silent for a while before slowly opening her mouth:

"Ian, are you trying to make me feel guilty in this way?"

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

"I just want to play the last role of a pawn, as you said. In this way, I can burn my life to the last moment."

"Princess, I sincerely believe that Britain should belong to you, and there is no other choice."

[Morgan doesn't doubt your words.]

[She knows your loyalty to her, and she knows that you can really do such a thing.]

[It's just that she's still hesitating about something.]

[You were thinking about whether it was related to you, and Morgan confirmed this.]

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

Morgan's eyes were very complicated.

"You... are you overestimating yourself?"

"Princess, although you may not believe it, I still want to tell you."

"In the eyes of people other than you, I am already Vortigern's claw. Countless British knights have fallen into my hands. I am already the common enemy of the knights."

"And you, princess—"

Ian raised his head and looked directly at Morgan. His eyes were loyal and firm.

"Is Britain's invincible princess; is also the invincible blade on the battlefield."

"It will be popular for you to execute me. Every knight will be very happy to see this scene."

"When my head falls to the ground, they will surely raise their swords and shout your name, and the virtuous king will also realize that your talent is not empty talk. You will surely let Britain continue to shine."

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

But Ian didn't believe it.

In his eyes, there was no one in the entire Britain more suitable to be king than Morgan.

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

"I will never regret it." Ian replied without hesitation, "Since swearing allegiance to you, I have never regretted it."

"..."

Morgan was silent for a long time.

"I see, Ian."

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

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

[Morgan took you alone on the road on the grounds that she was going to take you to King Uther for trial.]

[No one was worried about this, because in their eyes, you were Morgan's complete defeated opponent and could not hurt Morgan at any time.]

[During this journey without anyone else's participation, you and Morgan still got along as princess and knight.]

[You held the horse for her and took care of her along the way.]

[This made you feel like you were back in the past.]

At night.

"Princess, here, this is your share."

Ian respectfully handed the grilled fish to Morgan.

After the latter took the grilled fish, she asked with some surprise: "Ian, you can do this?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "Princess, I was born humble, so I naturally know how to deal with the fish I catch."

"But—"

Morgan looked at the fish forked by the branch in her hand, and then looked at the copy in Ian's hand.

"Why... is yours so small?"

Just as Morgan sighed, even though they were both grilled fish, the one in her hand was much bigger than the one in Ian's hand.

Faced with Morgan's question, Ian just smiled and replied:

"Princess, you are the future king of Britain."

"Everything on this land belongs to you, and I am just bringing them to you according to your needs. How can I be so ignorant as to ask for them?"

"You allow me to do this, which is my great luck."

"Ian..." Morgan took the grilled fish, curled up her legs, looked at the campfire in front of her, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Do you really believe that I can become the king of Britain?"

"Princess, it's not believing, but affirming."

Ian drove away the flying insects that gathered because of the campfire for Morgan.

"You are the future owner of Britain, and you are also the king recognized by this country. All knights will feel honored because of your arrival."

"But only you have said such things to me..."

The campfire cast a red sea in Morgan's eyes, dyeing her eyes with a little white.

She seemed a little tired.

"There will always be someone who will be the first, and it will never be the last."

Ian said his understanding, his eyes were shining, as if he was telling the future that had become a reality.

"I was just lucky enough to be identified as the first by you, princess. My death will bring you more loyalty."

"But those are all—"

Morgan turned her head to look at Ian, and what she saw was still a face that absolutely trusted her, and it was already full of scars left by the stones.

Morgan realized that this seemed to be the first time she had noticed these—Ian was really believing in herself with his life, so he endured countless abuses and misunderstandings.

All the words she wanted to say were swallowed back.

What replaced it was an order:

"When you keep watch for me tonight, come over to the campfire. No one will know."

"Yes, princess."

[The British army's front line was not stretched too long.]

[Your journey with Morgan alone soon came to an end.]

[You were taken to King Uther as proof of her record.]

[Morgan said that she wanted to execute you in front of all the knights, so that she could boost the morale of the British army.]

[You thought that this would make King Uther realize Morgan's importance, but you didn't expect him to turn his attention to you.]

[He planned to have a private chat with you.]
