章 71: Confusion

And so, Artoria was accompanied tenderly by Guinevere.

As for Artorius, after going through so much, he wanted to find a woman to comfort himself. He needed to regain his spirits before delving into any further conspiracies. Thus, he walked towards Mordred's room.

'Let's go and confide in Little Mo, and discuss the details while we're at it.'

That was Artorius's plan. However, halfway through his journey, he coincidentally ran into Morgan, who seemed equally frustrated.

She had just left Mordred's room. She was angry because once again, her children had betrayed her.

Taking advantage of Artorius's absence, she had discreetly approached Mordred, hoping to gather some information about him and, in the process, convince Mordred to continue working for her.

Unfortunately, she failed.

Regarding the success or failure of obtaining information, it was a delicate matter to discuss.

Mordred enthusiastically shared stories about Artorius, although most of it was "my big brother is amazing" and "my big brother is very kind," excessively adorned with her personal touch. Nonetheless, Morgan could still extract some useful intelligence from those words.

However, when it came to persuading Mordred to continue helping her, Morgan utterly failed.

Mordred firmly rejected her, holding her head high and assuming a haughty air as she said to Morgan, "It's not possible, Mother. Because I am now my brother's knight, I only obey his commands."

"Damn it."

Hearing Mordred's words, Morgan felt both furious and puzzled. What had Artorius done to bewitch her daughter? She pondered how she could convince Mordred, whether through threats or by reminding her that as a daughter, she must obey her mother.

However, before Morgan could decide on her approach, Mordred surprised her by initiating the conversation.

"Mother." she said earnestly to Morgan, "why don't you also serve him? He is an excellent and fair ruler. If you earnestly serve him, he will grant you your wishes."

Hearing those words, Morgan was almost rendered speechless with anger.

This unfilial daughter! She had never shown such dedication when working for her! But now that she was working for her brother, she was playing the role of a devoted servant, acting like a fanatic. Who was she trying to deceive?!

Of course, amidst her anger, Morgan had a brief moment—only a moment—of intrigue.

Would serve Artorius truly fulfill her wishes?

What were her wishes again? To gain control over Britain?

Ah, yes, that's right. She wanted to acquire Britain. It had nothing to do with desiring the love she longed for from her nephew.

With these thoughts in mind, Morgan didn't choose to confront Mordred. Instead, she gave her a half-hearted response and left with a mind full of frustration.

"Damn it, how did this happen?" Morgan muttered to herself, simultaneously annoyed and puzzled.

Her own sons and daughters were incredibly rebellious. Each one had betrayed their creator, Morgan le Fay.

But why were they so loyal and devoted to the Pendragon 'father' and son?

The brothers, Gawain and Gaheris were all serving in the Germanic Military Region, having risen to the position of 'Legion Commander'. They were crucial pillars of Artorius's military. Their loyalty to him was unwavering.

As for Gareth, due to her age and gender, she hadn't been given a significant role in the military. However, she held the position of 'Captain'.

The elite heavy knights known as the 'Dragon Sentinel', the finest soldiers under Artorius's command, were under her control.

Agravain, on one hand, handled various administrative tasks in the Germanic Military Region, and on the other hand, served as the leader of Artorius's spies and assassins division. He was responsible for covert operations. The guy had become one of Artorius's most fervent supporters.

In private conversations, he often said things like, "His Highness Artorius is the best choice," "He is the most suitable ruler," and "He is the ruler I have been searching for!" Similar words were spoken on numerous occasions.

And then there was Mordred. This individual was Artorius's right-hand and even considered his companion and successor. Her attitude toward him was unquestionable.

This group of 'Morgan le Fay's children' were all exceptional individuals. She had specially selected, created, and trained them using 'Age of Gods' genetic technology.'

Initially, they were content to stay by Artoria's side in Camelot.

However, now there was an entire Germanic Military Region, larger than the territory of Britain itself, providing them with a bigger stage to fully unleash their potential and achieve even greater excellence and perfection than in the original timeline.

In Arthurian legends, Gawain didn't even command a legion of tens of thousands, let alone Gareth's four hundred elite soldiers. The feudal system was completely feudal, with vassals having vassals, and the efficiency of mobilizing troops was questionable. The chain of command was far from smooth, and each commander had only a limited number of direct subordinates.

'How did this come to be?'

Pondering these thoughts, Morgan found it strange and perplexing.

Did Pendragon possess some strange charm that caused people to be fiercely loyal?

But that couldn't be right.

After all, she was part a Pendragon too. Why had she become so estranged from everyone?

Lost in her confusion, Morgan encountered her beloved nephew, Artorius Pendragon, in the corridor.

Artorius also noticed her presence, his dear aunt, Morgan le Fay.
