Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Reason for Becoming King
"Um, Sister?"
"You seem to be in pain?"
At this time, noticing Morgan's strangeness, Altria pulled Morgan's hand and shook it.
"Al..."
Morgan looked downcast and turned back to Altria.
Altria said with concern:
"Sister, are you unhappy? Is it because of Brother Kay and Father Hector? Don't take it to heart, they have no ill intentions, they just care about me."
"No, no, I just... I just..."
Morgan said, she hesitated because she didn't know these things and told her sister about this established future now.
"Well, then it's okay, Sister."
"Al... but I...!"
She wanted to say that her future self had done such excessive things to King Arthur, and she did not deserve her sister's care and forgiveness at all!
However, as if she sensed Morgan's mood at the moment, Altria stepped forward and hugged Morgan, saying:
"Don't worry, Sister. I will be with you no matter what, because you are the first relative, I have ever met in this world."
"So, Sister, no matter what happens in this life, please don't leave me, okay? The future is determined by people. As long as we sisters work together, there is nothing we can't do."
Altria said with a smile.
"Al..."
Morgan blushed, and suddenly realized that, yes, her future path and choices were decided by herself. As long as she didn't go in the direction of the future, didn't harm Al, and avoided the wrong development of history, wouldn't it be fine? Could it be that someone could force her to do something she didn't want to do?
Since Britain and the like are beyond saving, then she won't save them. She just wants her sister to live well.
Of course, if it is for her sister, it will be different. Saving Britain is equivalent to saving her sister. Therefore, as long as it is for her sister, she is willing to do anything. Even if this era wants to make her sister a sacrifice, she will subvert it at all costs!
Thinking of this, Morgan's confusion was immediately swept away, and he said gently to Altria:
"Thank you, Al. I'm fine. Also, I will protect you in the future. No matter what the cost, I will not allow any enemy to hurt Al in the slightest!"
"Sister..."
Altria said, feeling warm inside.
Under the setting sun, the two girls hugged each other tightly.
.
"Okay, let's go back first, Al."
"Yes."
When Altria and Morgan had finished getting ready, it was already evening. The sun was setting and the sky was gradually getting darker.
But at this moment, Merlin's voice suddenly came from the direction of Knight Ector's residence, from where Altria and Morgan came:
"Altria, dinner is ready!"
"!"
Upon hearing this voice, Altria was instantly overjoyed and quickly said to Morgan:
"Sister, let's go back quickly. If we go too late, there will be no food."
"Oh, okay..."
"But you don't have to get so excited, do you, Al?"
"Also, what on earth is that excitement..."
Morgan complained, looking at her sister's back as she quickly left after being summoned by Merlin, Morgan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that her sister Altria is actually a foodie?
If that was the case, then she would have to go and see what delicious food there was in this desolate countryside that could make her sister so happy.
With this in mind, and determined to find out what was going on, Morgan set out on her return journey.
However, what Morgan did not expect was that after she returned to Hector's home, she looked at the dining table and realized that her previous thoughts were still a little too idealistic.
Because, at this moment, among the three or four bowls on the dining table in the house, in addition to potatoes, carrots, and wild vegetables and mushrooms dug from somewhere, the only thing that can be called a "formal dish" is a pitifully small carp that is not enough for even three people.
Even the staple food for four people was a piece of dry, black-looking, and hard bread.
"Sister, come with us. We have training tonight after dinner. We can't do it without replenishing our energy."
Altria said.
Morgan had mixed feelings after seeing all this. She sat down next to Altria and said:
"Hey, Al, is this what you usually eat?"
"Hmm? Is there something wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Altria raised her head and looked at Morgan, taking a break from the huge mass.
Among the five people, Altria and the food on her plate were the most sumptuous, followed by Kay and Hector, and finally Merlin.
At this time, hearing Morgan's words, Kay on the side sneered at Morgan:
"Humph, they are nobles, how can their affluent lives be compared to ours? It's normal for them to look down on the food of ordinary people."
"Brother Kay!"
Altria spoke up to stop him.
But Morgan was not angry. Recalling his life in the monastery, he said:
"No, that's not what I meant. I thought my life in the monastery was hard enough, but I didn't expect you to..."
"Besides, this amount of food is not enough for five people, right? At least in my monastery, each person can get 200g of food per day, including meat and vegetables."
After he finished speaking, Kay and Altria at the dinner table fell silent. They swallowed subconsciously. Hector looked downcast. Only Merlin had a very annoying expression from beginning to end, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
After a while, Hector finally sighed and said:
"Alas, life has been tough lately. There have been years of drought and the harvest from farmland is less than 30% of what it used to be. The wheat we sowed is like a stone sinking into the sea. There is only input but no output. Even when it is finally time to harvest, the Anglo-Saxons on the other side of the Channel come to invade."
"Our county of Cornwall is relatively good. Although it is close to the front line, we are fortunately protected by King Uther, so our lives are not too difficult. We can still endure and bear it."
"But if this is the case for us, what about the people in the areas of Ampton and Brighton, which are on the frontier of the British Isles and across the sea from the mainland?"
"King Uther is old now. If the new king cannot ascend the throne smoothly and establish sufficient prestige, then this country will probably be doomed."
Hector's words made Kay, and especially Altria, who aspired to become the king, feel heavy-hearted. This was also the reason why she aspired to become the king, to make everyone living in this country smile happily.
"Haha, but don't worry. I'm optimistic about Al. This kid has a bright future. When he was only six or seven years old, he could fight Kay on equal terms. With Merlin's guidance, if he becomes king in the future, Britain will surely prosper again. When that happens, I, Hector, will be the first to swear allegiance to the king."
