(Einar's POV)
It had been several months since I had taken Mordred under me. In that time, I taught her swordplay with martial arts along and some riding skills. She also grew a little exactly the height of her counterpart, Artoria i.e. 154 cm.
Here she is growing just like that within few months while I was working my ass off just to grow a single centimeter. By the way, my height is 156 cm now so I was satisfied since because of Rhongomyniad divinity, I didn't stop growing.
Anyway, another thing I did was increasing Mordred's life span. I didn't tell her about this since I was using a complex divine rune and its effect would be revealed after more than 10 years. So until that, I decided to conceal that info from her.
On those days, I also took few tours to my territory and capital but didn't interact with either Artoria or Merlin. I did come close to other knights of the round table who were a little ashamed of what happened last time but I forgave them. I neither do have any energy nor reason for holding any grudge.
My only grief was Artoria who betrayed me in the end. That was something I would never forgive.
Problems were piling up for the people of this isle and except Camelot; every other city was facing endless trouble. This time, however, I didn't force my views about solving these problems since I don't care for these selfish people. Britons were becoming shameless as to put the blame of all their problems on Artoria.
I also didn't contact Morgan in the meantime so I just guessed that she went underground for now.
Galahad was the only one nagging to work under me here in Joanton but I denied the proposal. He would definitely conflict with Mordred if he finds out. Plus, he was the core knight of the round table so I couldn't take risk of him finding out about Mordred.
"Teach, my butt is starting to get sore…"
"Shut up and focus."
It was not what you guys are thinking.
We were in the middle of a hunt in the wild one day. It was mid-June so it was warm to teach her some techniques about surviving in wild and we had been sitting on behind a bush and waiting for animals to pass so that we could sneak attack and get some meat and fur.
I want to teach her something new but as expected from this brat. She started to complain just when we were in the middle of finding some targets.
"But you are using magic pants to ignore the coldness."
"Because I could use magic but you can't. So you should have to rely upon what is at your disposal." I explained to her properly. I tried to teach her some basic magic spells but she was unable to learn even a single spell unlike Artoria except Mana Burst and Instincts which are Artoria's basic core skills. But then I found something amiss from what she said. "Wait, how do you know that I use magic on my pants?"
"Eh…? W-well… cough* when you go for a bath, I sneaked in and tried sniff your clothes- I mean to try out how it feels to wear magical clothes. But please forgive me Teach, it was just for once! I promise that I would never do that again!"
I could only stare at her in a stupor. Now that I think about it, I had been wondering how the hell my pants get sticky when I came back from the bath!
I shook my head and then recalled that I did the same with Artoria's clothes. The only difference was that I never left any clues.
Is that retribution for my sins?
I shook my head from these useless thoughts and warned Mordred, "Never do that again or forget about meat for a month."
"I won't Teach!"
"Okay keep your mouth shut and let's change the spot."
"Ai, Teach!"
With soft steps, we went to another place and saw some deer but-
"Hey Teach, what is that deer doing on top of another deer? And why is he vibrating like that?"
It is exactly what she just asked. In short, it was mating season and they were having sex.
"It is…"
I didn't know how should I explain that to her.
'Mordred, they are fucking each other to have offsprings!'
I am pretty sure that I would dig my own grave by saying that as she would ask more and more.
"It is something you shouldn't concern yourself."
"Then should we kill them?"
"What? No! Let them finish first."
We then decided to wait for them to finish their holy ritual. While watching I noticed Mordred was beet red so I smacked her head lightly.
"Oww, what was that about, Teach?"
"Why are you blushing?"
"W-what? I don't know but aren't you also blushing?"
I then realized that I was also feeling hot and was dreaming of doing this with Artoria, Scáthach, and… her?
"Shut up and don't talk."
I shook my head while she looked at me with a look, 'What the hell is this guy's problem?'
Almost 15 minutes had passed and there was no sign of them finishing anytime soon. The male dear was like a freaking H-protagonist who becomes energetic just after taking a minute of break.
"Mordred, make your aim and kill one. I have had enough of this."
"Which one, the one riding or the one being ridden?"
"…the one riding."
And so she took her aim and shot straight at male deer's head.
Sorry paw but you have achieved the ultimate desire of your life but most importantly I was fucking jealous of him who had a girl to fuck while I was still a damn virgin for freaking 40 years!
After skinning the animal and taking the meat, we decided to rest in the tavern of a village near the forest.
"I am so sorry but we only have a single room to spare, Lord Einar." The receptionist apologized.
"No problem, we are used to sleep with each other!" It was Mordred who blurted that out.
Everyone in the pub glared at us with weird looks since we do look like minors according to our heights.
I glared at Mordred and tried hard to stop myself to give a good beating in front of everyone.
She, on other hand, started to sweat and looked away from fear.
I then agreed and asked her to bring something to eat while we went to an empty table.
"Hey, Teach. Why are those guys licking each other's lips?" Mordred again asked something that I didn't want to answer.
I turned around and found a couple smooching. The man was even fondling the woman's breast while his other hand was reaching to her neither region.
I went to their table and slammed my hand.
"Don't do that here or…" I glared at them with instance killing intent. They became frightened and ran away.
I then came back to my seat and looked at Mordred with face, 'One more question and I will beat the shit out of you!'
After that, we had a peaceful meal with no one enough balls to disrupt us.
Then we came back to our room.
As usual, I offered Mordred to sleep on the bed while I on the floor but she snuggled back to my arms.
In past, I tried to stop her from sleeping with me by beating her or threatening to cut her meal but she didn't listen even once since she just loved to sleep in my arms. I then decided to let her do whatever she wants for the time being since I only got a year with her and she knew that.
"What?" I asked due to her being staring at me with scornful gazes.
"Teach, you said that you would answer my every question but you didn't tell me what those deer and people were doing."
I shook my head since I indeed told her that I would answer her every question. Of course, I refused to answer some affairs related to the round table and the person named Artoria so I was in pretty bad shape as to how I should explain the matters related to love.
"Look Mordred, those deer… let's say that it was something you will find soon on your own. As for those people, it is called kissing and people who love each other tend to kiss like that who would soon marry."
When explaining, I felt a deep pain in my chest. How wonderful it would be if it is true. Artoria and I used to kiss and made several promises and yet…
"Teach… do you love me?" She asked with hopeful eyes. I knew it was coming.
"As your guardian, yes. As someone of the opposite gender, no. Mordred, let me make this clear, I have taken you under me so that you should learn something important and develop your own will rather than doing what your mother told you to do. If you force your personal feelings then I would have to return you to your original place. So don't make me regret my decision."
I explained briefly. I knew it would come to this. Even though I told her this, I myself had developed some feelings for her but immediately crushed those feelings since I didn't have any more strength to give my heart to someone else.
"I… I am sorry, Teach. Please forgive me." She looked sad and immediately apologized when I showed my displeasure.
I smiled and caressed her cheek. "It's fine but the real reason is that my heart is already crushed. I won't ever fall in love. Something I am not very good at. Anyway, stop talking and close your eyes, we have the training to hit in the morning." I explained and closed my eyes to sleep.
After several minutes, she was still not asleep and had been staring at me.
She then closed the distance between our lips and kissed me.
"I am sorry, Teach… I don't know what this love is but there is a feeling inside me to do something for you and make 'us' happy. I like you, Teach, a lot…. Zzzzzzzzz"
And she fell asleep just like that.
Shortly after, I opened my eyes and looked at her with trouble on my face.
'What the hell I should do…?'
I shook my head and the best solution for all these problems is just to ignore them. I was too tired to answer unwanted love.
****
I will allow your imagination to run wild here. You can imagine plot from here on a little.
By the way, new omake in next chapter.

(Mordred's POV)
If there is one unfair person in this world then it would be my most beloved teacher, Einar Sirius du lac.
As long as I remember when I regained my consciousness, there was one goal for me that was set from the beginning and that is to dethrone King Arthur.
Living in a small city called Leona, I get used to the peace that was brought to this city. Due to me being a 'special human' according to my mother, I was given little freedom to roam around the town.
When I saw children playing, I also had desires to play with them but I was always brought back to reality when they called me a monster for my ever-changing growth. One month, I am 5 years old then another month, I am 8.
Doesn't matter… At least that's what I always reminded myself. A puppet born with this function shouldn't develop other desires, shouldn't she? That's what I always thought.
I limit myself only stare at children and imagining how it would like to be playing with them.
'Mordred, a traitorous knight who joined the round table just to dethrone King Arthur and make 'his' mother the queen' at least that's how it should have been until I met the very person who changed my life.
When I first saw his kind smile that he showed while distributing food to children, I imagined myself in their spot and smiled happily, how wonderful it would be if I was one of those children.
Unlike them, I have a mother but I never received any kind of happiness that a child is supposed to receive from her parent yet those children looked so happy and I can't help but felt a little envy.
Teach, no, he was some nameless priest for me when I first saw him.
However, I was not able to escape from his sharp gazes and soon came under his radar. When he asked me about my name and looked at me with deep hatred and loath, it petrified the very soul inside me. My every inch screamed to just run away yet I was not able to escape from his clutches.
Tears began falling from my eyes and I prayed to live just for single hope to smile like those children.
As if listening to my prayers, he let me go and offered kindness in return. He offered me what call cream buns as an act of apology.
They were freaking delicious.
Anyway, I was able to get away from him with fear in my heart and little hope to meet him again.
When I came back home, I received punishment from my mother since the person I told my name was none other than the strongest knight of the round table, Einar Sirius du lac.
He was considered to be even stronger than both King Arthur and Merlin combined. Everyone in the upper echelon feared him despite his short looks and charming nature.
If not for his endless dispute with nobles and other royalties, he would have his backings to the throne.
Even my mother, who never considered any knight or even King Arthur a threat, feared him and called him 'Lord Einar' as a sign of respect.
At that moment, I stopped thinking about the future since I would soon be dead. Finding a traitor nurturing under a loyal knight's nose, no one would let me go and my head was bound to be cut off but nothing like that happened.
Instead of death, what I received was a gentle embrace that I had ever received. Instead of outright killing me, he gave me a chance to live and see things through myself.
Perhaps it was his distrustfulness for other knights of the round table and King Arthur, he didn't show me any hate but unimaginable kindness that I was not worthy of…. his first mistake.
He then took me under his wings and called me a cute girl.
I hate being called a girl for a reason that was embedded in my soul the moment I was born. Acting like a boy was part of me, another limb of a homunculus that ordinary humans wouldn't understand so it was hard to accept myself as a girl even if I wanted to.
And yet, when he called me girl, I found it a little delightful.
He then took me to another place to protect me, to train me, and to give me the happiness and memories that become the most important part of my life, a reason that made me unable to betray his trust.
Living with him I get the reason why everyone fears him. He fears none and is confident in what he is doing.
He beats me a lot whenever I did some mistakes. Not only beating but his other punishments were also very harsh and he knew exactly what I fear the most. Being beaten was not new as I was used to it due to my witch mother but his lessons were for my own sake rather than the selfish desires of my mother.
He is the best cook, he is the best teacher, he is just the best at everything. A perfect man who is just the best for his own good.
However, when it comes to feelings, he is like a wall.
'Artoria', I have heard that name from his mouth several times and she was the one bitch who had betrayed him. If I found her someday, I would likely kill her for betraying a kind person like Teach.
Since he ordered me to never spoke about Artoria, I never dared to ask again.
I know that love shall not be possible since I was a 'boy' but my heart fell for him the moment he showed this ungrateful person kindness.
I knew that the consequences would be horrible but if just for once… just once I could do something for him to make him look at me as a girl who likes him; I would face even death happily.
However, his heart is already like broken glass, no matter what you pour, it will ultimately fall off.
"Teach, where are we going?" I asked Teach one day when we were climbing a mountain at night.
"Mordred, since today is your last day as my apprentice, I would like to show you something you will never forget."
As usual, he was just kind.
A year after he took me in, it was finally the time I go back to my mother.
I didn't want to go but I can't simply be a brat and nag him to look after me every day so I decided to go away for his sake.
After reaching a peak, what greeted my sight was a colorful sky.
"Wow!" I can't help but exclaim with delight.
As if colorful curtains were dancing from the heavens in the night. It was one of the most beautiful sights with the best goes to the person standing in front of me.
"Mordred, theses are called Auroras, and these…" Teach then started to explain which I had no idea what he was talking about. The only thing I get is that it is something related to 'science'.
After that, we prepared loggings and food to spend the night here.
After eating to my heart's content, we then sat under the glittering sky.
"Teach, I don't want to go…" I can't help but pray like that.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and snuggled my head in his soft and charming chest sitting on his lap. I don't care if I am a boy or girl but at this time I just wished to receive his love for the last time as a human being.
"You know that does not gonna happen."
He was still a strict teacher even if he spoils me a little.
"Teach, I love you." I looked at his face with hopeful eyes.
"As your teacher, I also love you." Against my expectations, he just smiled with a little sadness on his face and rubbed my hair.
'I love you, Einar.'
'I love you too, my Molly.'
That's what I would like to hear then we would kiss and have lots of children like the receptionist of tavern taught me how to make kids.
But even knowing our real intentions, we hold ourselves back from crossing the line.
Me being immature with a goal to enter Knights of the Round Table to see if the 'ideal king' deserves treachery and him being torn because of love betrayal.
On that day, I swear on my short life to never betray his trust as long as he is in the round table and to kill that Artoria person with my own hands for betraying a kind person like my beloved Teach.
****
...Yeah.
Sparks have been lit. Anyway, enjoy omake.

Omake 11
Einar was having a party with his fellow members of knights of the round table along with some other servants.
"Einar!"
He was drinking alone when he heard the soft and cutest voice in humankind's existence.
"Ah Artoria, I was about to- Who is he?" Einar turned around as his eyes fell on his beloved wife and about to ask something when his sight fell on a handsome man she was accompanied with.
The person was a handsome man with charming looks with hair and eyes color similar to Artoria's.
"Einar… he is… my counterpart from a parallel timeline, Arthur Pendragon." Artoria introduced her other real male self to her husband.
"Sir Einar, I have heard so much about you. As you have guessed, I am Arthur Pendragon from a parallel universe. Nice to meet you." Arthur smiled with pink cheeks and offered a handshake.
"Hey, Sir Arthur…" Einar smiled wryly and also shook his hand.
He didn't know what to even talk about with Arthur.
'Oh Arthur, I am Einar Sirius and one who bangs you but not you at the same time!'
Einar would die because of embarrassment.
"Einar, he wants something to talk with you. I will excuse myself." Artoria said with a pleading tone and left the two men alone.
Einar smiled wryly and then offered him a seat on the table.
"So Sir Arthur, what do you want to talk with me?" Einar asked while wondering why the dude in front of him was blushing.
"Well, the thing is… Just like your hidden legend. My timeline is also similar to yours…" Arthur blushed and blinked his eyes several times glancing at Einar.
Dude, stop blushing!
Of course, Einar couldn't blurt that out since Arthur was a guest.
"I didn't quite understand…" Einar tried to avoid the topic as he was sensing a hidden danger.
"Well, the thing is… I also have a hidden lover, she is a fairy like you. Her name is Elaina Sirius, my love~," Arthur spoke and blushed.
"I-I see… I didn't know that I also have my counterpart (Alaya I will fucking destroy you!)… But I am not a girl, haha…" Einar said and laughed out the matter.
"It is true but when I saw you, you kind of reminded me of her. She was as kind and as beautiful as you, Sir Einar-"
"But I am not a *girl*, Sir Arthur~!" Einar didn't want to continue this fuck train.
"Haha, I can understand you a little. Elaina was also a possessive fairy like you and almost killed Guinevere and my sister if not for my intervention. Anyway, I just want to have few chats to match some events that match my timeline." Arthur said and offered Einar a drink.
"Oh, that! Of course, we should share our experience but no sexual stuff okay?" Einar smiled and accepted the drink.
"You bet."
And then both of them instantly became friends and spend the rest of their time chatting.
"Ugg… I shouldn't drink alcohol from now on. Not good for fairies…" Einar woke up from his hangover as he found himself in his room.
After the party was over, Einar didn't remember anything after he trusted his body to Artoria.
"Ugh, why my ass is hurting…" He scratched his ass but then detected someone under the blanket sleeping beside him. "Oh well, time to charge some Artoria energy." He said as he hugged Artoria.
But what is this?
When did Artoria become… so tall and so handsome?
Einar widened his eyes and started to shake from fear as he uncovered the person sleeping with him.
"Ah oh hey, Sir Einar, I must say, it was a wild night~" It was the voice of none other than his beloved wife's counterpart, Arthur Pendragon.
Einar's expression turned who just saw a demon.
"…..Aaaaa!"
