Chapter 65
"What opportunity?" Lan Ze asked.
"Become my subordinate." Morgan le Fay smiled, her beauty still striking despite the veil, possessing a captivating allure.
"No, I have already agreed to serve King Arthur." Lan Ze shook his head firmly.
If you don't agree--
Morgan le Fay paused, then said, "I told King Arthur that you had assaulted me and made me bear your child."
Lan Ze sneered, "Do you think she would believe such a thing?"
"She won't believe it," Morgan le Fay chuckled, "But if she sees this... she'll believe it."
She pointed to the little girl hiding behind Lan Ze.
"This child has your blood, you should already know that," Morgan le Fay said quietly.
Lan Ze sneered again, "You think you can threaten me over such a trivial matter?"
"You should know that I am the one King Arthur. If I were to become your subordinate, wouldn't that be betraying King Arthur?" Lan Ze's attitude remained unwavering.
Morgan le Fay sneered, "If I were to tell King Arthur the child's identity now, how do you think she would treat you for the sake of her Royal Sister?"
Lan Ze stepped forward, grabbed Morgan's wrist, and said, "Princess Morgan, please wait! I'm willing to do anything for you."
Morgan le Fay's eyes, hidden behind her veil, sparkled with excitement. She smiled and nodded. "Very good. I won't mistreat you from now on. You'll probably be quite busy this week because of the wedding, but you'll be free afterward. After the wedding, come to my palace; I have a task for you to complete."
"No problem..." Lan Ze pondered for a moment, then asked, puzzled, "But there's something I don't understand, and I'd like to ask Princess Morgan about it."
"Go on," Morgan le Fay nodded slightly.
"Why me?" Lan Ze asked.
"From the moment your lifeblood disrupted my plans, I intended for you to care for this child," Morgan le Fay glanced at Mordred, "Moreover, since my sister has decided to make you Queen ... I naturally want to take what's hers."
Is this considered an older sister NTRing her younger sister...? Lan Ze was speechless.
Morgan le Fay truly lives up to her reputation as a witch; she always seems to be going against her sister in everything.
Morgan le Fay raised his hand, releasing the shield around Mordred, and said, "I'll take this child with me for now. King Arthur can't know her true identity yet."
"Hmm." Lan Ze nodded, then, as if suddenly remembering something, looked at Morgan le Fay, who was about to leave with Mordred, and said, "Oh, right—"
Morgan le Fay stopped and turned his head slightly to look at him.
"Let Xiao Mo relax a bit; she's still just a child," Lan Ze said.
Morgan le Fay glanced at the little girl beside him, then looked up at Lan Ze.
Through the hazy veil, her beautiful eyes gazed into Lan Ze's eyes, and then she nodded gently.
"I see."
After she finished speaking, she led Mordred away from the corridor. Before leaving, Mordred turned back to look at Lan Ze a few more times, seemingly still a little reluctant to part.
Lan Ze waved gently at her with a smile.
Mordred's eyes widened slightly, a light suddenly appearing in them as he stared intently at Lan Ze, as if trying to etch his Father King's image into his mind.
It wasn't until Morgan le Fay urged him on that Mordred reluctantly turned around and followed behind Morgan le Fay, his steps becoming much lighter.
After sitting in the room for a while, Lan Ze soon heard footsteps approaching.
The door opened, and there was Artoria had just returned from her battle with the dragon.
She entered the room, quickly scanned it with her eyes, and then stared at Lan Ze.
"What's wrong?" Lan Ze asked curiously.
Artoria's gaze felt a bit like a scanner, as if she wanted to scrutinize his entire body.
"You haven't left your room today?" Artoria asked.
"No, what's wrong?" Lan Ze asked.
Artoria was immediately disappointed and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, I'm just investigating some things."
She initially suspected that the reason Vortigern was scared off might be related to Lan Ze.
After all, in her memory, apart from Merlin and her Royal Sister, there seemed to be no other beings in the city who could threaten Vortigern.
But these two weren't enough to scare Vortigern completely.
Therefore, she immediately suspected Lan Ze.
But she couldn't see any suspicious information about Lan Ze right now.
Artoria put her thoughts aside for a moment and continued, "By the way, I probably won't be back tonight."
Noticing Lan Ze's questioning gaze, Artoria explained, "You must have seen that demonic dragon today, right?"
Lan Ze nodded slightly.
"It is Britain's greatest enemy," Artoria said solemnly.
She had assumed that Vortigern wouldn't dare to approach Britain openly, but its appearance today had defied her expectations.
"The follow-up plans need to be finalized tonight, so I'll probably be spending the night in the administration office."
Leaving his "wife" alone in the room on their very first day of marriage? If this were a real marriage scenario, someone would probably have entered the room and been doing something sneakily...
Unfortunately, Morgan le Fay didn't seem to be that extreme... Lan Ze sighed inwardly with some regret, then smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, go ahead... take care of yourself."
Anyway, he still has to go back.
Now, if Lan Ze doesn't go home for a day, Mother of All will call out "Aaa". The last few times, Lan Ze was so engrossed in a game that when he got home, he heard Tiamat singing sadly. The song seemed to be accusing her child of being much colder to her.
The mournful song echoed throughout the city, making Tokyo residents feel as if they were in the deep sea, hearing the song of Siren.
After watching Artoria leave, Lan Ze opened the system menu and then exited the game.
The moment Lan Ze opened his eyes, he felt a burning pain on his cheek. He took off his virtual reality glasses and found the room completely silent.
"Ouch... why does my face hurt so much?"
Lan Ze gasped, reaching for his phone on the bedside table to check what had happened to his face.
He hadn't noticed what was happening in real life while he was in the game, and only now did he realize the waves of pain on his face... It seemed like someone had pinched his face.
However, after groping around for a while, Lan Ze didn't find his phone. Instead, he touched something unexpectedly soft. He hesitated for a moment, then touched it a few more times to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.
This feel... hmm... it's so familiar.
Lan Ze pondered for a moment, then his eyes brightened slightly.
Mother of All, it's Mother of All! Absolutely right!
Lan Ze turned his head and saw Tiamat. The woman was lying on her side at the head of the bed, her eyes staring straight at him.
Her gaze was utterly calm; she remained silent, simply staring at Lan Ze.
Lan Ze was slightly taken aback. The joy he had just felt upon guessing Tiamat's identity vanished considerably. After a moment's hesitation, he tentatively called out, "Mother... what's wrong?"
Judging from her expression, Tiamat is clearly angry...
But the reason for his anger... Lan Ze still doesn't understand.
Ignored her while playing games?
But I've been playing games every day lately, and she hasn't seemed angry at all...
As Lan Ze thought of this, Tiamat slowly opened her mouth, her small canine tooth shining brightly in the sunlight.
This gesture was a sign that she was about to sing.
Lan Ze's heart skipped a beat. In a moment of panic, he leaned forward and kissed the Creation Mother Goddess's soft and supple cherry lips, preventing her from making a sound.
Inside the room, Lan Ze pressed his lips tightly against Tiamat's soft lips, savoring the woman's sweet and delicious kiss.
Whenever Tiamat tried to sing, Lan Ze would kiss her even more passionately, until finally Tiamat couldn't even make a sound, only able to whimper.
Tiamat slowly opened her eyes wide, staring at her child in disbelief. She seemed surprised that Lan Ze would kiss her so passionately right from the start.
Soon, Tiamat slowly closed her eyes, embraced Lan Ze, and felt the warmth emanating from him.
The sky outside the window was overcast, and the faint sound of the wind whistling against the glass could be heard in the room. Time passed silently.
After an unknown amount of time, Lan Ze felt a little short of breath and had no choice but to release his lips.
Almost at the same moment Lan Ze let go of his words, Tiamat immediately opened her mouth slightly, as if intending to let the whole city hear her beautiful singing voice.
Lan Ze's eyelids twitched violently, and he immediately raised his hand to cover Tiamat's mouth. But the woman was persistent, and a few sounds still escaped from Lan Ze's palm. Then, the "Aaa" sound seemed to be released completely.
Lan Ze had no choice but to lean in again and kiss the woman's soft lips, at which point Tiamat's singing quietly disappeared.
Then, a sound that made one's mouth dry came from inside the room.
Lan Ze looked at the Creation Mother Goddess with some helplessness, and for a moment he didn't understand what Mother of All was trying to do.
Although he wanted to ask her, unfortunately, Lan Ze didn't have the chance to ask now, because every time he opened his mouth, Tiamat seemed to want to sing.
He could only reluctantly continue kissing Tiamat's little mouth, listening to the howling wind outside.
Time passed silently, and after an unknown amount of time, Tiamat seemed to finally be satisfied. When Lan Ze reluctantly let go of her mouth again, Tiamat did not make "Aaa" sounds like before.
"Mother... what's wrong with you today?" Lan Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, looking at the naked Creation Mother Goddess sitting on the edge of the bed.
He was too tired to even complain about why Tiamat always dressed like the Emperor's New Clothes in her room. He'd mentioned it more than once in the past two months, but Tiamat always seemed to be humbly accepting advice, yet resolutely refusing to change.
At this moment, the woman's long, smooth, blue hair fell naturally down her back, with two thin strands lightly draped over her chest, just covering her breasts. Her lower body was covered by blue fabric formed from magic, but it covered very little of her body.
"Aaaa (Bad boy.)" Tiamat glanced at Lan Ze and whispered.
I'm certainly not a good kid, but I shouldn't be considered a bad kid either, right...? Lan Ze asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"
"You despise me," Tiamat said quietly.
Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion, "What did I find fault with you about?"
"Aaaa (You sing badly.)" Tiamat pouted slightly, lowered her head with a wronged look, and weakly shook her horns.
"When did I ever complain that you sing badly...?" Lan Ze was a little confused.
"Then why won't you let me sing?" Tiamat looked up and stared straight at Lan Ze.
Are you referring to why I didn't let her sing earlier...? Lan Ze pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Because I only want to hear your 'Aaaa' sounds by myself, Mother."
Tiamat was slightly taken aback, her eyes immediately welling up with tears. She gently shook her head, pressed her cheek against Lan Ze's palm, and rubbed against his hand affectionately, while softly saying "Aaaa".
This woman is incredibly easy to appease. Even when she's very angry, a few simple words of comfort are enough to calm her down.
Lan Ze gently held Tiamat, feeling the softness of the woman's body, glanced at the closed door, and suddenly asked, "By the way, where 'Aika?"
It was still daytime, and Sajyou Manaka should have been home by now, but he couldn't find Aika, which was utterly baffling.
"She went out to buy groceries," Tiamat whispered.
After these two months, whether Sajyou Manaka has resigned herself to her fate or not, she no longer insists on Tiamat leaving the apartment like she did at the beginning, and their relationship seems to have improved a lot... As for the reason, Lan Ze doesn't know either.
He had actually asked Sajyou Manaka, but the girl only gave him Gilgamesh answer, "This is a secret between women, don't ask so many questions."
"Mother... did you promise Aika something?" Lan Ze asked curiously.
Tiamat looked up and thought for a moment, recalling what Sajyou Manaka had said to her when she found her some time ago.
"I'd like to ask you for advice on how to increase breast size."
Sajyou Manaka stared at Tiamat with an extremely humble and inquisitive attitude.
Tiamat tilted her head, thought for a long time, and gently shook her head. "Aaa (It can grow up on its own.)"
Seeing the big girl's desperate expression, Tiamat felt a pang of pity. Remembering what Lan Ze had said about how she could "grow up" if she replenished her magic, she added, "Aaaaa (Drink more milk, and you'll grow up.)"
After that, Sajyou Manaka's attitude towards Tiamat improved significantly, seemingly grateful for Tiamat's "breast enhancement" advice.
However, if she had known the true meaning behind Tiamat's words, she probably wouldn't have been so grateful.
The advice that this naive woman gave to Sajyou Manaka was, to be honest, a bit provocative... She cheated on you, and then said it to your face, and you even had to thank her... That's practically killing her and hurting her feelings.
Although Tiamat genuinely meant well in wanting to help Sajyou Manaka.
