The night was wonderful, but dawn must eventually come.
It turned out that powerful people were powerful in everything they did. This was demonstrated to the fullest by Cang Ye and Morgan, who had "battled" all night.
It began with Cang Ye holding all the initiative, then Morgan, unwilling to let her pride be crushed by this newly 'born' knight, rose in defiance to mount her own counter-attack. In the end, however, she succumbed to exhaustion, letting Cang Ye do as he pleased.
It wasn't until the crack of dawn that Morgan finally fell into a deep sleep in Cang Ye's arms.
As for Cang Ye, he was actually left wanting more. After all, he had just gained the skills 『Incarnated Fae』 and 『Afterglow of the Divine Age』, on top of the boons from Morgan's blood and the Isle of Britain itself.
Cang Ye felt terrifyingly strong, as if he could battle Morgan for another three days and three nights without issue.
But for now, it was best to let it be. Morgan was exhausted because of him. Whether it was due to their relationship as knight and master, or their newfound intimacy, Cang Ye wanted Morgan to rest well.
The future could wait.
What's that? What if Morgan wakes up and denies everything?
Child, I can only say you are too naive. With things like this, it's either zero times or countless times. You'll understand when you grow up and experience it for yourself.
It's something that can only be understood, not explained. Got it?
Looking down at the still-sleeping Morgan in his arms, Cang Ye silently dismissed the idea of checking his appearance in a mirror.
So, what was there to do now besides stare into space?
Just as Cang Ye was about to let his mind wander, a slightly sharp, synthesized electronic voice sounded in his head.
[What the hell, what the hell, what the hell! Where did you bring me? Is this still Britain?]
Huh? The useless system?
Hearing the familiar yet strange voice, Cang Ye couldn't help but be taken aback.
The last time he heard this guy's voice was three years ago, wasn't it?
Recalling this, Cang Ye felt a wave of nostalgia.
In these three years, he had been completely focused on Morgan, with almost no awareness of the passage of time or the outside world.
But well, the hard times were over now.
Ignoring what was on Cang Ye's mind, the system continued to talk to itself.
[Hold on, Host? Did you go and find a cheat code while I was dormant? How did I wake up to you having a body, new skills, and even hooking up with the Witch of Britain?]
"You have the gall to say that! Do you have any idea how long you've been sleeping, you useless system!"
Hearing the system's amazed and suspicious tone, Cang Ye's teeth itched with anger.
Damn it, other people's systems gave them the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception just for signing in, or let them draw cards to get a princess as a bodyguard. How did he end up with this useless Baidu-like system that couldn't even function as a proper simulator?
It finally coughed up a useful deduction function, but each path could only be used three times, and each use put it to sleep for three years. It was utterly useless.
"I really don't know how you can sleep at your age," Cang Ye muttered. After cursing out the system in his mind, something occurred to him, and he asked suspiciously.
"Hey, system, now that you're awake, does that mean you can see everything I do?"
This was not a small matter. Before, he didn't have a body, so it didn't matter what the system saw. But now that he had Incarnated, he needed the privacy a normal person should have.
He certainly didn't want this guy peeking in his head while he was being intimate with Morgan.
The thought alone was chilling.
Fortunately, the system's next words eased his worries.
[Host, you can rest assured. Your human concepts of gender do not apply to me. The fact that you perceive me as male is just your subconscious assumption. If you wish, I can speak to you in a female voice. Besides, if you truly desire, you can block me at any time.]
[But I'm sure you won't do that, right? Haha!]
"Don't talk about gender-bending so casually, you bastard."
After instinctively retorting, Cang Ye thought about it and decided that the blocking function was indeed useful.
Before, circumstances had forced him to rely on it. Now that he had Morgan and a body, what use was this useless system?
You're fired, buddy.
With a thought, Cang Ye ignored the system's wailing pleas and repeatedly blocked and unblocked it, having a great time.
Time passed amidst Cang Ye's banter with the system. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Morgan slowly opened her eyes in his arms.
For some reason, she felt that she had slept exceptionally well. It was the first time she had felt this way since accepting her position as a princess.
But as soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with the sight of Cang Ye's marble-white, broad chest. Shifting her gaze upward, she saw his handsome, statue-like face and a pair of azure eyes filled with emotion.
And here she was, lying in his broad arms, her head resting on his bicep.
As memories of the previous night slowly surfaced, two crimson clouds instantly bloomed on Morgan's face.
Vile Fae! How dare you take advantage of my exhaustion to perform such an outrageous act!
"Lady Morgan, you're awake."
But as Morgan looked at the man who had tormented her so much last night, now acting as if nothing had happened and greeting her directly, her anger somehow dissipated.
In its place was a mixture of awkwardness and bewilderment.
But Morgan was not a simple girl like a certain foolish king-to-be. She quickly composed herself, took a deep breath, and with a wave of her hand, used magecraft to sweep Cang Ye off the bed. The bed curtains then automatically fell, shielding him from view.
"Stay there and wait for me. No peeking, or you will be punished."
After leaving him with those words, Cang Ye heard the rustling sound of clothes against skin from within.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. Host, your relationship with this witch is truly ambiguous,] the system quipped.
What the hell does a system like you know.
Ignoring the system's teasing voice, Cang Ye rubbed his nose and knelt faithfully on one knee, awaiting Morgan's dressing.
Although he had seen and touched everything there was to see and touch last night, Morgan was, after all, a proud woman.
Cang Ye didn't think that this level of intimacy alone would make Morgan like or even love him.
Whatever the outcome, whatever the future held, he had said he would always be Morgan's knight. That would never change.
Soon, the blue curtains were drawn back, and Morgan, dressed in her usual attire, emerged. Her gaze fell upon the single-kneeling Cang Ye.
"Rise, Knight."
"Yes, Lady Morgan."
Obediently rising, Cang Ye's newly Incarnated body, brimming with powerful energy, was fully exposed to the air and Morgan's gaze.
Morgan's eyes swept over him from bottom to top, an unconcealable satisfaction and admiration in her expression, as if she were looking at a priceless work of art.
In truth, Cang Ye's body was not shaped according to his own ideas but was constructed based on Morgan's ideal image.
From his statuesque, well-defined physique and his perfectly proportioned, powerful muscles to his long, silver-white hair—every detail was Morgan's perfect ideal.
The only remaining symbol of his former identity as a Water Fae was his pair of azure eyes, as brilliant as sapphires yet as clear as lake water.
Without a doubt, the current Cang Ye was the embodiment of Morgan's desires.
But while she knew this in her heart, she would never admit it out loud.
After all, this was the body he had used to do such shameful things to her yesterday.
At this thought, Morgan's eyes flickered, and she commanded, "Kneel, vile knight."
"Yes, my master."
Without hesitation, Cang Ye once again knelt on one knee and lowered his head.
For a knight, the lord's command was a sacred decree that could not be defied.
He had once scoffed at the so-called code of chivalry, but now that he had made a pact with Morgan, Cang Ye would not be complacent.
He wanted to show Morgan his loyalty and worth, not just act like he had tricked her into granting him Incarnation.
As the sound of high heels clicking on the floor grew closer, Cang Ye felt a slender, jade-like finger lift his chin, forcing him to look up at her.
Morgan leaned down slightly. From Cang Ye's perspective, the proud valley representing Britain's pride was on full display, a scene of infinite spring.
"From this day forward, you are my knight. If one day you dare to defy my orders, or even betray me, I will use the cruelest methods to take your insignificant life and even your soul. Do you understand?"
Morgan spoke softly, but Cang Ye understood the weight of her words.
"I swear to Britain, Lady Morgan. I will be eternally loyal to you."
Cang Ye gently took the hand Morgan offered and performed a most devout hand-kiss.
"From today, whatever name you had before is meaningless."
"You have only one name: Lamorak. Do you understand?"
"Yes. Knight Lamorak, at your command."
[Here, you have gained a physical body and a True Name: 『Lamorak』, meaning: 『The Lion of Britain』.]
[You understand that on this grand stage constructed by the White Dragon and the Red Dragon, you now finally have the right to participate.]
