Chapter 863

Shirou said, "I forgot to mention earlier... There's something I wanted to tell His Majesty, so I sneaked back."

"What... is it?" Morgan asked, taken aback.

He gently stroked her cheek and said those words.

Congratulations on your ascension to the throne, Queen.

"...!!"

In an instant,

The Queen of Winter's weariness, hardship, and grievances accumulated over two thousand years were all blown away by this blessing.

Volume 11: 509 You pervert who puts your fingers inside a young girl's vagina!!!

Congratulations on your ascension to the throne, Queen.

This simple blessing alone dispelled the fatigue, hardship, and grievances that the Queen of Winter had accumulated over two thousand years.

"..."

Morgan thought to herself that she must have been making an expression that the Queen shouldn't have.

An expression that cannot be seen by others.

I absolutely cannot let anyone see me with this vulnerable, weak expression.

Fairies are creatures that are born to bully the weak and fear the strong.

They bully the weak, yet fawn over the stronger.

So Morgan used power to control the fairies and tyranny to rule Britain.

She became the ruthless and cold-blooded Queen Morgan.

Since the day of her coronation, she has vowed to maintain this attitude towards everyone except herself.

Close yourself off emotionally.

Freeze expression.

The Queen became the very winter of the Fae Kingdom of Britain.

Whether they were fairies or humans, everyone hated Morgan.

However, Morgan didn't care.

She embarked on this path in order to build the country she envisioned.

No amount of slander, hatred, or curses could stir the Queen's long-frozen heart.

But--

Morgan was not a machine.

The Paradise Fae who betrayed everything was also a woman of flesh and blood.

You will feel tired, sad, lonely, and in pain.

Over the course of two thousand years, the Queen's spirit has gradually accumulated black grime.

Anyone else would have collapsed long ago, but Morgan managed to hold on because of his extraordinary obsession.

Britain was her dream, and also her promise to him.

Therefore, even if no one understands or applauds him, Morgan will continue down this path to the end.

However, deep down, Morgan also harbored that desire.

I've put in so much effort all by myself, how wonderful it would be to receive someone's blessing!

Like a young girl, I secretly fantasized about it.

If possible...

I hope the person who sends me blessings will be...

Today, Morgan's little wish, which no one else noticed, came true.

My knight?

My Hero?

My lover?

My destiny?

Shirou only spoke a few words to himself before realizing the black void within him and filling it with gentle words.

So happy.

I would have no regrets even if I died now.

Shirou, so you really did return to Britain to kill me, didn't you...?

"... Morgan?"

"Ah."

The sound pulled the Queen, whose consciousness had been blown away, back to reality.

Morgan blinked, then focused her gaze back on the man's face.

No matter how many times I see it, this face is undeniably handsome, so incredibly good-looking... Wait, that's not the point!!

How long exactly did I space out?

"About ten seconds."

Shirou doesn't have mind-reading abilities or Fae Eyes, yet he still answered the question that was on her mind.

He wore a confident expression, as if to say, "I know what Morgan is thinking," which made the Queen somewhat displeased.

"Could you... take your hand away?"

Morgan raised an eyebrow and spoke in a feignedly cold tone.

"Oh, my apologies."

Shirou lowered his hand from the Queen's skin, revealing the other half of her face, which was already flushed.

And so, they returned to the pattern of simply gazing at each other.

No one knew how to start the conversation.

Or perhaps, they don't need to speak at all; they can simply maintain the status quo.

Finally, it was Shirou broke the silence.

"Morgan, I..."

"Bang!"

The doors to the throne room were violently flung open.

"Shirou! You bastard!!!"

The Faerie Knight's roar echoed from afar; it was Gawain.

She discovered that Shirou had disappeared while she wasn't paying attention, so she searched all the way back to the throne room.

The Faerie Knight strode forward with astonishing strides, lifted Shirou up and slammed him to the ground, then the two of them knelt down before Morgan.

Gawain knelt on one knee and apologized to the Queen.

Please forgive my negligence... He disappeared in the blink of an eye when I wasn't paying attention.

I never expected him to come back here, Your Majesty... This man didn't do anything to you, did he?"

I really can't guess what this man will do, and I don't dare to guess.

Gawain felt extremely guilty...

She could only pray that Shirou hadn't done anything disrespectful to Her Queen when she wasn't looking.

"What do you think he can do to me?"

A shrill, authoritative female voice came from above.

"...?"

Gawain felt something was off, and slightly raised his head to glance at Morgan.

Is it just my imagination?

Just now, for a moment, I seemed to sense resentment and murderous intent emanating from His Majesty...

No, it must be my imagination.

"No, I don't think this man can do anything for you."

"It's good that you know."

Gawain, oblivious to the sarcastic tone in the Queen's words, breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, although their time together was disrupted, Morgan was also saved from this and was able to calm her racing heart.

"He's a cunning man; you'd better keep a close eye on him from now on."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

During the conversation between the Queen and the Knight, someone forcibly interrupted.

Shirou: "Didn't they say I was given the right to move freely in the Fae Kingdom?"

Gawain: "Shut up!"

Morgan: "It's alright."

The Queen of Winter, with her beautiful legs crossed, looked down from her throne and said, "I do grant you permission to act, but only on the condition that your actions do not threaten my rule."

If you do anything to harm my country, I will not hesitate to list you as an enemy... Do you understand?

Shirou respectfully placed his hand on his chest.

"Understood."

Although he verbally agreed, the Queen's words went in one ear and out the other, Shirou had no intention of obeying them at all.

Morgan nodded. "Then, if there's nothing else, you may leave."

It's getting late. I've arranged a hotel for you and Gawain in the city. You can stay in Camelot for the night and set off again tomorrow morning.

"Excuse me."

"What's wrong?"

The Queen narrowed her eyes and looked at Shirou.

"If possible, I'd like to stay in Camelot for another two days," Shirou said.

"...?"

Gawain looked at him with suspicion.

Morgan, however, wore a faint smile beneath her black veil.

Shirou said he'd be staying in Camelot for a while... Could it be that he's planning to secretly meet me when no one's looking?

Hmph... that won't do.

I'm not the kind of woman you can just see whenever you want, you know?

But if it were you, making an exception wouldn't be out of the question...

The Queen suppressed a smile that seemed to be playing on her lips, and asked expectantly:

"What's your reasoning? Why should I let you stay in my Camelot?"

Shirou said, "I saw it on the way here. It seems there is a very large library in the capital."

I'd like to use the library there to research some relevant information; it won't bother you at all.

"... Oh, really?"

The Queen rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said each word with resentment:
