Chapter 838

"I'm sure I'm right, Miss Morgan," Shirou confirmed.

"That's pretty much it," Morgan said dismissively.

"Thanks."

"No need to be so polite, Shirou."

Morgan, with a Pan-Human History smile, said, "It's only natural for women to do things for the men they're infatuated with; it's not worth mentioning."

You should be more assertive; I'd be happy to be ordered around by you.

Morgan turned to his sister, who was standing there dumbfounded. "Artoria, you just said that I approached Shirou with ulterior motives."

But... it seems like it's not me who's been bothering him all along, but someone else, right?

Who on earth is it that, even after 1,500 years, still refuses to let go of the past and shamelessly clings to Shirou?

"What did you say..."

"Wait... wait a minute! Both sides need to calm down!"

Before things escalated, Shirou stepped between the two of them.

Fae Consort: "I didn't name names. You're the one who insisted on taking it personally, my foolish sister."

Lion King: "You don't need to make veiled accusations. I did harbor some resentment towards Shirou in the past, but I absolutely meant no harm."

Fae Consort: "In reality, you've been affecting Shirou's life, haven't you?"

Lion King: "Gurgle... that's..."

The goddess was speechless.

Even if she believes Morgan is on the evil side, her previous actions cannot be considered righteous.

From her perspective, she has no right to accuse Fae Consort of having ulterior motives in approaching Shirou.

Morgan, in his Pan-Human History, continues to exert his influence.

"Besides, it's none of your business how I interact with Shirou."

What do you mean by "I cannot allow anyone to approach Shirou with ulterior motives"?

You are the least qualified to say such a thing, Artoria!

"Waaaaah...!!"

The Lion King's expression twisted as if he had been struck by Anti-City Noble Phantasm.

She bit her lip in humiliation, speechless, and could only vent her dissatisfaction with her eyes.

"I still can't believe you would genuinely help Shirou."

The goddess gritted her teeth and said angrily.

"Shirou must be... Yes, he was just deceived by you."

Because you share the same name and appearance as that person... someone important to Shirou, he lowered his guard.

You must have used your face and Shirou's gullibility to trust you...!

Sister Wang, even after 1,500 years, you are still that bewitching witch!

Artoria, who had already become a god, should never have been so emotional.

Perhaps Morgan's appearance reminded her of the ancient past, or perhaps it was her determination to protect Shirou no matter what.

The Lion King regained a little bit of human emotion and looked down on his sister, criticizing her from a superior position.

"That's not true, Artoria."

"... Huh?"

The Lion King, interrupted, felt his heart freeze with cold.

She turned her head blankly and saw Shirou looking at her intently.

That unwavering gaze conveyed something that terrified the goddess.

"What?"

"I didn't think of your sister as anyone's Projection. Please stop saying that; it makes me uncomfortable."

"!!!"

The goddess's clear, still, turquoise eyes began to tremble violently.

Now, the composition of these three figures resembles the Lion King unilaterally accusing Fae Consort, while Shirou stands in front of her, protecting her.

No...

It's not that it "looks like" something, but that it is the truth. It's just that the goddess doesn't want to believe it.

"That..."

The Lion King raised his voice without realizing it.

"What does that mean? Isn't it because of her face?"

"Of course not."

Shirou said, "I think Miss Morgan is someone I can trust, regardless of her appearance."

In fact, I did receive a lot of help from her, and I feel only gratitude towards her.

"... Shirou."

The Lion King suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over him, because the boy's gaze was filled with anger.

Is it really that unsettling to be looked at by him with such cold eyes?

Until now, the Lion King has only ever received Shirou's kindness and gentleness, so this is the first time he has ever experienced it.

Shirou's anger at him for protecting Morgan was something the Lion King could never have foreseen.

The goddess knows she can never replace the person who saved Shirou in the past, but she also believes she holds an important place in Shirou's heart.

No matter how unreasonable he was in forcing Shirou to become a part of his dream, he didn't get angry.

The goddess had reason to believe that she was Shirou's special person.

Shirou did indeed say tonight that he wanted to be her woman.

However, Artoria rejected him.

Although I refused, but...

Shirou and I are certain of our feelings for each other.

We love each other.

... If that's the case, why are you protecting that witch?

"You've been tricked, Shirou."

"I already said that's not true."

In any case, the Lion King's primary task before that is to stop the Queen from getting any closer to Morgan.

She absolutely cannot compromise on this.

She couldn't bear to watch that dangerous woman get close to the boy she loved.

For the past fifteen hundred years, the Lion King has always been thinking about Shirou.

She hoped he could save Britain in her place, and she also hoped she could simply accompany him as a follower.

Although the goddess herself was completely unaware, in her heart, Shirou held the same weight as her homeland.

"You have no idea what Sister Wang is really like... She's very good at deceiving people..."

The Lion King's tone had long lost its former composure.

"It's not too late, Shirou... Don't trust her anymore, keep your distance from her..."

"Why should I listen to you?" Shirou asked coldly.

This was completely different from how Shirou had treated him in the past, as if his patience had finally run out.

"... ah?"

That statement, which completely negated their relationship, shook the very foundation of the Lion King's authority.

The goddess parted her lips slightly, her thick eyelashes trembling violently.

She couldn't believe Shirou would say such a cold thing to her.

The Lion King knew he had no right to interfere with Shirou's decisions.

She herself had tried to take advantage of Shirou.

Although it wasn't out of malice, the fact is that I hurt him time and time again.

Moreover, it was she herself who suggested disappearing from Shirou's sight.

Even though she had already decided to leave, she's now followed Shirou to his house and is refusing to leave.

"... ah?"

The Lion King was dumbfounded and could only repeat what he had just said.

Shirou repeated the question from before.

"Why should I listen to you, Artoria?"

"..."

"I wanted to live with you, but you refused."

The Lion King bit his lip silently. "Shirou, I..."

"If you want to interfere in my relationships, at least stay by my side."

Shirou's cold words interrupted the goddess's sophistry.

Even though gods couldn't possibly lose blood, the Lion King felt a sudden dizziness.

She looked past Shirou and saw that her sister wasn't mocking her, but rather showing her pity.

"But Artoria, who has long since become a goddess... wouldn't want to live with a mortal like me, would she?"

Shirou avoided the goddess's almost pleading gaze and said calmly:

"Artoria, it's over between us."

Volume 10: Chapter 497 Woman, you're playing with fire!

"..."

The Lion King's parted lips failed to utter a sound.

Shirou was standing right in front of him, it felt incredibly distant, and the world seemed to be shaking.

The goddess only suspected that there was something wrong with her ears; her mind was in complete chaos.

"What..."

Finally, she asked the boy a difficult question in return.

Shirou looked at her quietly and repeated himself once more.

"Didn't you say before... that you wouldn't interfere in Shirou's life anymore? Let's leave it at that."

"Th-that's...!"

What is that?

Shirou countered with a question, leaving the Lion King speechless.

"No... I did say that, but..."

"But what?"

"No... no... I..."
