"When was the Sword of the Lake stolen?"
Asher's voice pulled Vivian back from her infatuated state. The Lady of the Lake clearly disliked Asher very much. She couldn't help but frown even at the sound of his voice, saying unpleasantly, "It's already been stolen.
The established fact cannot be changed. What's the point of asking about it now? I won't answer such boring questions." "Just take that pseudo-sword as compensation.
Anyway, it's a King's Sword. As long as you don't use it to attack, the common people won't be able to tell."
Asher sighed somewhat speechlessly. It seemed this Vivian had a considerable prejudice against him.
However, the current situation was probably the best it could be. At least there was a forged sword to fool people with.
"Roughly when was it stolen? Do you remember the exact time?" Morgan's gaze fell on Vivian, her majestic presence making Vivian feel a refreshing sensation as if all her pores were clear. She shivered slightly but quickly composed herself, saying in a steady tone: "Probably within two weeks after King Arthur pulled out the Caliburn."
Huh? What about 'the established fact cannot be changed, I won't answer such boring questions'? Why did you answer as soon as Morgan asked?
Morgan was startled, her eyes cold as she stared at the seemingly frail Lady of the Lake. "It's already been almost half a year?! Is that how you act as the Lady of the Lake?!"
"Originally, I wasn't suited to be the Lady of the Lake. You should know that the evil side was initially your responsibility, and you were responsible for most things.
After you left, I didn't manage much..." Vivian toyed with her hair, maintaining her usual indifferent smile. "Yes, it's not my fault, but yours for insisting on leaving me back then."
Morgan remained silent, only a slight flicker in her eyes. She did feel a bit guilty towards Vivian and found it hard to get angry.
"Were you not at the bottom of the lake when the Sword of the Lake was stolen?" Asher suddenly asked.
"Otherwise, how could you not have noticed?" This Lady of the Lake is too unreliable, isn't she? Despite being so powerful, she lost something so important?
Vivian spread her hands innocently. "That's not my business. Logically, I should have been able to sense someone entering the bottom of Avalon's lake, but I didn't. This means the other party has very strong stealth abilities."
"You didn't even notice someone entering the bottom of the lake?" Morgan stared at Vivian with a doubtful look.
"Does such a person really exist?"
"Wh-who knows? Maybe they do," Vivian quietly shifted her gaze, looking a little guilty. It seems Vivian is still hiding something... Asher noticed her change in expression and thought to himself.
"Actually, there's another possibility, but I don't think it's very likely," Vivian added.
"You mean, a fellow lake fairy stole the Sword of the Lake?" Morgan realized the meaning behind Vivian's words and immediately shook her head. "Impossible. They wouldn't have any desire for the Sword of the Lake, and besides, they're all still in Avalon, aren't they? Taking that sword wouldn't benefit them at all." After all, they were all fairies living at the bottom of the lake, so it was indeed unlikely they would do such a thing.
Asher looked at the sword in his hand, then suddenly thought of something and looked up at Vivian. "Those two conditions you mentioned earlier, you never intended for me to accept them from the very beginning, did you?"
"No, actually, I thought you would accept them," Vivian said, shaking her head. "After all, you like beautiful women." If Asher had really agreed to marry her, she would have immediately told Morgan the news Asher had revealed. It was a pity that he had refused her. Even though he had been so proactive that day.
"Don't assume everyone likes beautiful women when they see them, okay?!" Asher said angrily.
"Do you dare say you've never had any desires for me since we met?" Vivian glanced sideways at Asher. "Don't forget, I can read minds a little. I can probably guess what you're thinking." "Just now, when I was tickling your sole, you were very excited, right? And you secretly looked at my thighs several times before, thinking 'these legs look so pretty,' right?"
Asher's voice trailed off. He almost forgot, this fairy could read minds!
Scathach heard this and simply glanced at Asher as if nothing had happened. "Even without mind-reading, you can tell that much."
"Indeed, you can judge many things from his eyes," Morgan sighed, supporting her forehead. "But it's understandable. He's young, and it's quite normal for him to have a lot of energy~" Besides, she had teased him several times last night, so Asher was probably always in a state of excitement.
"I should find some time to completely release that energy..." Morgan muttered softly. Scathach beside her seemed to have heard it too, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in her red eyes.
"Facial expressions can also tell a lot," Artoria added.
So why did the topic suddenly shift from the Sword of the Lake to whether I have other thoughts about Vivian?! Asher grumbled in his heart.
"You said there were two conditions earlier?" Scathach suddenly asked. "One was to hand over Guinevere, what was the other?"
"She wanted Ash to marry her," Morgan said faintly.
Scathach's eyes narrowed slightly, glancing at Vivian. Her gaze lingered for a moment on that seemingly sickly, pitiable face, then she said flatly, "Is that so?" And Artoria's gaze also subtly swept over Vivian. For some reason, as Vivian felt these three gazes, a sudden chill ran down her spine. I feel like I'm going to be killed. She suddenly had a strong sense of impending doom.
Perhaps King Arthur not agreeing to marry her before actually saved her... Vivian couldn't help but think as she faced the gazes of three women simultaneously, especially Scathach and Morgan's gentle smiles tinged with faint amusement.
"I think Vivian probably never intended for me to accept from the beginning. After all, the Sword of the Lake was stolen, so even if I agreed to her, she couldn't produce it.
This was just a joke, right?" Asher suddenly said.
"Is this guy a good person?" Vivian looked at Asher in surprise, but quickly curled her lip in disdain. In the end, it was just an act to win her over. Morgan might fall for it, but she wouldn't. He must be trying to win her favor, then make a move on her like he did with Morgan. After all, with the beauty of the Lady of the Lake, it was normal for mortals to be tempted. Vivian naturally didn't realize that Asher was simply speaking up for her to quickly move past this topic.
"In any case, until we find the real Sword of the Lake, we'll use this weapon for now," Morgan said, then her gaze fixed on Vivian. "Who do you think is most likely to have stolen the Sword of the Lake? Aside from fairies?"
To steal the Sword of the Lake without Vivian's
knowledge, and without her even noticing, was not something an ordinary person could do.
Vivian's thoughts returned to reality. After a brief contemplation, she looked up and smiled at Morgan. "You must already have a suspect, that's why you're asking me, right?" Morgan's lips curved slightly. "It seems we thought of the same person."
Asher looked left and right, then walked behind Artoria, covered her ears, and asked, "Merlin?"
Morgan gave a meaningful smile. "I'm not sure, but I think we can ask him."
"What are you doing?!" Artoria pushed Asher's hand away, glaring at him, but she didn't seem angry. A cute blush spread across her delicate cheeks.
"What do we do now?" Asher asked.
"We'll know if we ask him," Morgan said with a smile.
"To be honest, I'm a little interested too. I'll go with you," Scathach said with a smile, looking eager.
Vivian glanced left and right, looking at the two women's smiles and Asher's subtle expression. She cleared her throat. "I won't go with you. I'm going back to the bottom of the lake." Although she wanted to see Morgan's face more, if Morgan didn't get any useful information from Merlin, she would definitely come looking for trouble again. She liked to see Morgan's coldness towards others, not towards herself. So, it was better to go back for now.
"You stay here and wait for us to come back," Asher said.
He always felt that Vivian was still hiding something. If it wasn't Merlin who stole the Sword of the Lake, he could ask Vivian in detail when they returned. To be honest, he had been feeling a bit uneasy since earlier, as if he had overlooked something important, but he couldn't pinpoint the reason.
"What are you talking about? Who wants to stay here? I'm going back!" Vivian said, then turned to leave. Why does that sound like something a suspect would say before dying? Asher grumbled in his heart.
