------------

Uathach, just eighteen years old, the princess of the Land of Shadows, possessed extraordinary magical talent, and was also Asher's childhood friend, the girl who was at the finish line first. But once, by chance, she discovered that the relationship between her mother and her beloved younger brother seemed to be more than just Shishou and disciple. From then on, she began to observe them, trying to find even the slightest hint of incongruity. She did succeed, but only discovered her brother's feelings.

Undoubtedly, Asher liked Scathach, in a romantic way.

However, Uathach at the time wasn't so certain. After all, children, it's normal for them to admire a powerful and high-ranking queen; she herself admired her mother greatly. So Uathach continued to search, and finally, by chance, she saw her brother's confession to her mother.

And then she fully awakened. She had once tried to peek into her brother's and mother's relationship, secretly pleased, believing everything was under control, and that she was still at the finish line. But she didn't realize that from the moment Artoria offered that bowl of fish soup, she was already running backward.

Then one day, her mother told her, "Your brother is almost mine." Her mother didn't say it exactly like that, but that was roughly the meaning. But at the time, she was quite calm, after all, sharing Ash with her mother, she didn't really mind. Then her mother told her again that Ash had also been "nibbled" by Morgan and Lily several times.

From that moment on, Uathach knew that her "tax evasion" had caused trouble. If she had forcefully kept Asher in the Land of Shadows back then, would there be so many problems now? But now it was too late. By the time she found out, the fishbones were almost picked clean.

But, the one who ended up being queen wasn't her, nor Lily, nor Mother or Morgan. It was that goddess, right... Hahaha.

"Mom, Mom," Uathach gently patted Scathach, who seemed somewhat stunned.

"What is it?" Scathach asked, turning her head, feigning composure.

"If Ash marries Miss Skadi, what should I call Miss Skadi?" Uathach asked in a monotonous voice.

Scathach: "..." Is her daughter giving up on herself...? But it wasn't just Uathach; even Scathach herself hadn't quite recovered. She thought she had guessed Asher's plan, but in reality, she had only guessed the first layer, which was Asher's superficial plan. In fact, Asher was on the second layer. She had originally thought Asher merely wanted to deter the kings, but now it seemed that this was not deterrence at all; it was clearly "killing them all."

On the other side, the Knights of the Round Table also exchanged glances, but no one spoke. Instead, they directed their gazes towards Artoria, who was not far away. They had planned for so long, only to be utterly bewildered by this sudden answer. At a time like this, what was Lily thinking? Their gazes all fell on Artoria, who sat with her hands on the Round Table, her exquisite face showing no emotional fluctuations, as if she had heard something very ordinary. The knights couldn't help but marvel at the King of Knights' composure. She truly was someone who had seen great things, remaining so calm and rational in such a situation.

Crack. With a cracking sound, an irregular crack appeared on the Round Table. Splinters flew everywhere as a small piece of the Round Table broke off from the unconscious force of Artoria's fingers as she instinctively gripped it tightly.

Presumably, future generations could easily summon Artoria with this fragment.

At first, Artoria's mindset was quite stable. Everyone thought she would become queen, and Ash treated her very well. Even if she didn't become queen, there would still be plenty of time in the future. But then... a goddess suddenly came out and confessed. And the most crucial thing was that the one being confessed to actually agreed. If reason weren't telling her to absolutely calm down, Artoria would probably already be unable to

control her Red Dragon power.

Among everyone present, only Merlin was grinning.

Although he hadn't done anything, seeing this scene now, he found it quite amusing. However, just as Merlin smiled, he felt several icy glares, even from Artoria, who usually treated him like a brother. Merlin quickly restrained his smile, looking as if he was grieving. But those several gazes still didn't leave him, especially Morgan and Scathach, whose gazes were fixed on Merlin.

They even suspected that Asher was under Merlin's illusion.

In reality, it wasn't just the people present; even the person involved, Skadi, who had thought the plan was going smoothly, was also a bit confused. She had inexplicably become Asher's queen?? And why were these people staring at her? She was innocent too, did they think she wanted this? Skadi thought indignantly, then raised her eyes and met Asher's gaze. Those eyes looked at her with a gentle gaze, filled with an ineffable tenderness.

Undoubtedly, these were the eyes of someone looking at their beloved. It doesn't seem so bad, does it? Skadi suddenly thought. She didn't dislike romance or anything; it was just that there had never been a suitable opportunity. And now, Odin lived inside King Arthur, so it would be easy to ask him for favors in the future. Moreover, he himself treated his lovers very gently, so it seemed like a good idea?

"Will you marry me?" Asher asked softly again. Skadi's gaze wavered, and she remained silent. Seeing this, Asher's mouth opened slightly, about to speak again. But at that moment, he felt the White Dragon within his body let out an angry roar, and then his mouth snapped shut. Then, Asher awoke from his daze. It was like a dream, and now the dream was over. Asher's pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze swept around.

Everyone was staring at him in astonishment, looking as if they were looking at some rare animal. No, rather than a rare animal, it was more like a monster. This was understandable; Asher knew what had just happened.

However, he couldn't stop it. His mouth wasn't his own at that moment; it was as if something was controlling it. Although his consciousness and vision were entirely his own, the sounds he made were completely contrary to his inner thoughts Or maybe that wasn't entirely true, because when Skadi confessed, he did feel a slight flicker of emotion. But with just that slight flicker, there was no way he would have agreed.

In other words Someone had controlled him. Asher could only think of two people who could control him. One was Odin, and the other was Merlin. However, who did it temporarily didn't need to be investigated deeply. The more important thing now was damage control. Yes, there was still time to make amends. If he explained now that he had been under some kind of illusion-like ability, everyone else would understand, and Skadi would certainly understand too.

But, before Asher could even open his mouth to explain, he heard a pleasant voice, tinged with shyness, softly say:

"I do."
