----------------------------------------------------------
Soon after returning to the palace, Artoria left.
Before she went, Asher saw her looking quite depressed.
Although he wanted to comfort her, he couldn't think of anything appropriate to say, so he just let her go.
Clearly, being attacked today and failing to protect the King had been a significant blow to her.
It might be better to have Morgan talk to her later.
Not long after entering the palace, Asher was still considering who to ask to assist Lancelot's investigation when he happened to encounter Gawain.
After a brief explanation, Gawain readily offered to help with the investigation.
"Understood, I'll set off to assist Lancelot immediately,"
Gawain said earnestly.
He was quite curious about the elf Asher mentioned.
After all, such creatures were extremely rare, and... an enemy who attacked King Arthur definitely needed to be investigated thoroughly.
By now, Gawain had largely come to terms with Asher's White Dragon body. If anything, he felt that Asher was the true sun.
After all, if he could even enlighten that previously gloomy woman, what else could he be but the sun?
Although the method of enlightenment seemed a bit strange...
He wasn't Agravain; he wasn't so oblivious as to not see his mother's feelings for Asher. But precisely because of this, Gawain found it truly incredible.
In Gawain's view, his mother probably just misunderstood the difference between love and familial affection. After all, his mother had watched King Arthur grow up, so her liking was probably just a familial one.
In any case, the exact nature of the feelings didn't matter, as long as his mother could walk the right path.
That was Gawain's current thought.
"Then I'll trouble you. That elf's left shoulder was injured by Skadi , and its threat level has decreased significantly, but be careful not to be careless if you encounter it," Asher warned.
"Yes, leave it to me, Arthur."
After Gawain finished speaking, he noticed a hint of trouble on Asher's face and couldn't help but ask, "Arthur, is something bothering you?"
"You can even see that, Sir Gawain," Asher shook his head helplessly at the end.
Asher was indeed a bit troubled now. Although he had decided to actively seek out Skadi , he had a rough idea of how angry she must be after being neglected for half a month.
He had planned to endure longer with Skadi , until she couldn't stand it anymore. But today's elf attack finally gave Asher a sense of crisis. He needed power, power to repel enemies.
After all, Shishou (Scathach ) and Morgan couldn't always be by his side.
For this, Skadi 's teachings, and her staffs, were very necessary.
"As for what's bothering me, I suppose it's only this," Gawain smiled. "But I think King Arthur can definitely do it. Go for it."
Hmm... sounds very official.
Asher muttered inwardly. After seeing Gawain off, he turned and went back to his room.
After much deliberation, Asher finally made up his mind and walked to Skadi 's door, knocking.
There was no sound from the room, but Asher opened the door after knocking.
He figured knocking was just a formality; he knew Skadi had to be in the room. There was no way he'd just happen to walk in on her changing clothes or something.
Asher silently closed the door, leaning against it and sighing.
Sometimes, people just don't know what they're going to encounter.
When he had just pushed the door open, Skadi was in the room taking off her stockings.
"You can come in now."
Only after a voice came from the room did Asher push the door open again.
The fact that she was still willing to talk to him meant there was still a chance to negotiate.
Noticing the coldness in Skadi 's eyes, Asher said, "Sorry about that, but I don't have any intentions towards you, so you can rest assured."
Who would have thought he'd walk in just as she was taking off her stockings?
"What a rude fellow. Have you ever seen a man say he has no intentions towards a woman when he sees her changing clothes?" Skadi said coldly.
Doesn't that imply she has no charm?
"Sorry... actually, I did have quite a few intentions," Asher could only answer honestly.
"Having other intentions towards a woman who is changing, you truly are a rude fellow."
Asher: "..."
Whatever makes you happy.
"Is there something you want to say?" Skadi crossed her legs, glancing at Asher, her tone cold.
"Thank you for what you did today."
"Oh, are you done?"
Her attitude was truly cold...
"And about what you said earlier about teaching me..."
Skadi 's eyes brightened slightly, and she coughed lightly,
"What is it?"
"Does it still count?"
"Although it took you so long to say it, I'll forgive you considering your good attitude," Skadi said calmly, but an unconscious faint smile appeared on her face.
It seems that today's help did pay off. Perhaps King Arthur also felt a sense of crisis.
"But before that, can you explain your purpose now?" Asher suddenly asked.
Skadi 's smile gradually faded. As she looked up, her gaze met Asher's, and after a moment, she spoke, "Sorry, not yet."
"But you can rest assured, I swear by the name of a goddess, I absolutely have no intention of harming you."
"A hidden difficulty, huh?" Asher muttered to himself. He had pondered for a long time after returning, and now he had finally made up his mind.
Dragging this out further wouldn't benefit either of
them.
"Then I'll trouble you. Please tell me the correct method to absorb the staffs," he said.
In the dim room, a slight curve appeared at the corner of Skadi 's mouth.
Finally... this guy, he finally brought it up himself.
Skadi felt a genuine sense of relief. She looked at Asher again, then said, "I can't do anything with you. Although your attitude for the past half-month was infuriating, a generous goddess will forgive your actions. I agree to it then."
It sounded more like she was finding an excuse for
herself.
But of course, Asher couldn't speak his mind.
"Come sit here," Skadi said.
Asher walked to the head of the bed and sat down, maintaining a distance from Skadi .
Skadi looked at him wordlessly, "Why are you sitting so far? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"
"Come sit over here."
She patted the spot beside her.
Asher hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat beside Skadi .
Actually, Skadi 's words sounded familiar to Asher.
Before this, Scathach and Morgan le Fay had said similar things, and after that, Asher really was eaten.
Skadi took out a staff and placed it on Asher's lap.
Under his bright eyes, she said as calmly as possible,
"Your previous method of absorbing the staffs was incorrect."
"I know, it was so slow," Asher said. "Please teach me the correct method."
"The correct method isn't to absorb the staffs," Skadi pointed to the staff in Asher's hand. "It's to guide out the magic you already possess."
