"I didn't mishear that, did I??" As Skadi's words fell, Morgan's usual calm smile faded considerably. Scathach's expression also subtly changed, and a terrifying coldness seemed to burst forth from her narrowed eyes.
"You want Ash to be your subject?" Uathach's eyes also grew a bit wary. "What's the reason?" Although seeing Mom and Ash together was quite exciting, she wasn't so magnanimous as to give Ash to a stranger.
"That kind of joke isn't funny at all. He's King Arthur, and you actually want him to be your subject?" Artoria's tone was stern. "Even a god, the King will not submit!"
"To be precise, not a god, but a goddess queen, you know?" Skadi raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone flat.
"Didn't you just say you were just a god?" Asher suddenly said.
"It's completely ungentlemanly to interrupt at a time like this, King Arthur." Skadi gave a meaningful smile. "But you're right, I should indeed just be a god, provided that person can come back."
"Of course, don't worry. Saying you'll be my subject actually just means keeping me company and chatting.
During this time, I'll also teach you magic and the correct way to absorb the staff... With your own clumsy method, it would probably take several years to absorb all those staffs."
"How about it? For you, there should be no downside to such a condition, right?" Skadi continued to speak to herself. "You can gain power and be accompanied by a beautiful girl every day. No matter what, it's a good choice."
Beautiful girl, huh... Asher couldn't help but look at Skadi a few more times. Indeed, this woman could certainly be called a beautiful girl... no, to be precise, a great beauty.
Just as she said, there was no downside to such a condition. But there was a prerequisite his identity was not King Arthur, and he was not Scathach's disciple.
"We have no reason to accept such conditions. He is King Arthur, and he will never become your subject." Morgan's voice held a hint of coldness. "You've been talking to yourself since earlier, neither explaining about the branch nor why you value him, yet you hope we'll agree
to your unreasonable demands?"
"Hmm~ It would be a divine punishment to ignore power that's so close yet not obtain it," Skadi said with a tone of regret.
"Although it's regrettable, like her, I hope you can explain. Perhaps after that, we will consider your conditions." Scathach stared intently at Skadi. "What is the staff in your hand made of, and who is the person
you're looking for?"
"Hmm? You want me to start from such a distant matter?" Skadi said this, then noticed everyone's gazes, Morgan's unfriendly eyes, and Scathach's cold stare. She could only sigh and look at Asher. "What about you? Do you also want to know the truth?"
"Do you think anyone would unknowingly accept many benefits from others without any suspicion?" Asher retorted.
"Hmm, you wouldn't happen to be very smart, would you?" Skadi said after a moment of contemplation.
"I don't want to be lectured by a woman who just arrived in this world and immediately proposed an unreasonable condition," Asher said. "For example, if I were to say now that I'm unconditionally giving this country and this throne to you, would you accept?"
"So I didn't propose three conditions?" Skadi spread her hands. "By the way, if you reverse what I just said, you should have said earlier that you'd give me the throne, but the precondition is for me to become your Queen...
That's how it should be."
"Actually, if you think about it, you won't lose out either way. Even if you become my subject, I won't order you to do anything bad," Skadi continued. "I just hope you can cooperate with me a little. Just doing that can make you stronger, you know."
Asher thought for a moment, then nodded gently. "I have to say, your suggestion just now was quite tempting."
"So you agree? To be my subject?" Skadi showed a faint smile.
"No, I refuse," Asher said. Scathach and the others beside him weren't surprised. It wasn't the first time they had seen Asher, after an apparently very tempted expression, suddenly and flatly refuse someone.
"As Sister Morgan and Shishou said, I need to know your purpose first before considering whether to accept,"
Asher continued.
"What if I go back on my word and leave?" Skadi asked.
"You went to such great lengths to come to this world. If you leave that easily, then I have nothing to say," Asher shrugged.
Looking at the two women watching him intently, Skadi's lips curved into a faint smile. "Alright, I was negligent just now, my apologies." "Give me one night. I'll reconsider and tell you the answer tomorrow. Is that okay?" she continued.
Asher nodded, glancing at Morgan and the others. After seeing them nod slightly, he turned to Skadi and said,
"Then you can stay tonight." "Lily, take Miss Skadi to the guest room to rest."
"Yes." Despite the subtle awkwardness with Asher,
Artoria knew how to prioritize when others were present. She gestured to Skadi with a "please." "Please follow me."
Skadi nodded slightly and followed Artoria out of the audience hall.
"What do you plan to do? Agree to her unreasonable request and become her subject?" Scathach asked, looking at Asher who seemed to still be in a daze. Asher slightly regained his composure, shaking his head. "I want to hear her reason first before making a decision." In fact, when he saw Skadi, many thoughts flashed through Asher's mind: why Skadi was here, why he could absorb magic from the staff... and who Skadi was looking for.
"It's good that you have your own ideas," Scathach said softly.
Asher nodded. "Then I'll go back to rest first." After saying that, Asher turned and walked out of the audience hall. Morgan quietly gazed at Asher's retreating back, only muttering to herself after he had left, "He seems to have something on his mind."
"Probably related to the person Skadi mentioned," Scathach sighed faintly.
"Speaking of which, you mentioned having dreams about Skadi, didn't you? Do you know something?" Morgan turned and asked.
"I know a little inside information," Scathach said, "but there's no need to tell you."
"I thought so too." Morgan wasn't annoyed. She shrugged and walked out of the audience hall. Although she cared about Asher, since Scathach didn't want to talk, there was no point in pressing her. Rather than staying with Scathach, that pedophile, she might as well check on Vivian's situation. She still needed to investigate the matter of the lost Sword of the Lake.
