Siegfried was laying on Morgan's lap as he had a serene expression on his face.
He shifted his gaze from the peaceful blue sky to his wife's beautiful face which was expressionless.
Morgan was a very difficult person for him to understand as he could feel that there was kindness in her and deep down she was hurting.
He didn't know what was tormenting her but he could feel that whenever he was with her he would feel there was something off about her.
It was like she was a different person sometimes.
Siegfried met Morgan's icy gaze but he was very used to it after all these years and he wasn't bothered by it.
" Mordred? " Siegfried asked lightly as he could guess what was happening in Camelot and Morgan had a hand in everything. He didn't know which side to stand on nor could he hate her either as a part of him was fond of her after all those years together.
" Fine" Morgan replied curtly as she turned her gaze away from Siegfried as she didn't know why but she was feeling very uncomfortable gazing at him like this.
Siegfried let out a sigh as he felt a sense of relief wash over him.
Even if Morgan didn't tell him anything concerning Mordred he could guess somethings and in a way she was as important to him as Artoria and in a sense Morgan had also burrowed into his heart.
At first he was against this marriage as his circumstances forced him into it but he suprisingly was able to care for her her and feel love which he never would have imagined he would feel for anyone except Artoria.
The start of their relationship was rocky and unpleasant even, but they somehow made it work and he could say that he really did have a good relationship with her.
But their relationship was far from simple as it was complicated, even he sometimes wondered how this cold and proud women was able to burrow into his heart.
He was at peace since 3 people he cared about would be fine , as for Lily he would pay for her life with his.
Siegfried blamed himself and even if Morgan was indirectly responsible for her death he couldn't lash out at her.
As her husband he would pay for her sins , he was willing to pay the price.
In the end from the start he was just a broken man.....
....
*Cough*
Siegfried violently coughed as blood leaked from his lips but he had a peaceful smile.
Morgan furrowed her brows in displeasure as her eyes contained frustration and anger , if it was anyone else then they would have felt that Morgan was angry at Siegfried but Siegfried knew she was just frustrated at the situation.
From the time he stumbled into her she had been trying to heal him and stabilise his condition.
He could feel her palm on his wound surging with energy as she was trying to stabilise his condition , but it was no use.
He knew his body better than anyone and he could feel the life slipping away from him.
He was finding it exceedingly difficult to keep himself awake.
Siegfried caught her palm gently in his left hand which caused her to turn her cold gaze to him but he could feel the uncertainty in her blue orbs.
Siegfried raised his right hand with much difficulty as he gently held the side of Morgan's face as he met her cold gaze with a gentle one.
" It ...wasn't... so..... bad....." Siegfried said slowly as his eyes lost the light in them as he closed his eyes tiredly and his hand lost the strength in it but before it could fall down Morgan caught it as she rested it in the same position while she stared at Siegfried's motionless figure unblinkingly.
A single drop of water fell on his face then it became two , three, four ..... A heavy downpour began suddenly covering the source of the water droplets as nobody would know the source of it....
...
Camelot fell under a rebillion as both the King and Duke perished along with the Duchess and it was said that they perished under the blade of the Knight of Treachery.
But was it the truth?..... No one would know.....
....
Siegfried's body was floating in a void place as his form seemed illusionary as if it would just fade away , his form was surrounded in tendrils of multicolored light that resembled roots of some tree as the roots stretched into the void into some place far away.
His illusionary figure was flickering as if it would vanish anytime soon but in response a stronger energy surged from the tendrils as they coiled around his form encasing him in a cocoon...
.....
World of Eden ....
Dragon Domain ...
Palace of the Priestess.....
....
A black haired woman was staring at the huge tree in front her vision with a serious expression on her face.
She could sense the huge energy fluctuations from the Gigantic tree that seemed to have branches that were spreading into unknown places and it probably had , as this was the World Tree that spanned countless world's with its roots embedded in every dimension.
Maintaining balance and life and she was someone special , as she was the priestess of this World Tree.
From birth she had been blessed by the World Tree and every major race would have their own Priestess who would be able to borrow a fraction of its power.
She , Shen Lin was the priestess of the Dragon Race ...
