Chapter 129: Unveiling Secrets

Galahad's true nature was clear to Morgan, even after only a year of following her and Lancelot. He was an honest child, incapable of deception. When Galahad claimed to be Lancelot's son from the future, Morgan's initial shock quickly turned into an effort to maintain composure. She had seen peculiar occurrences before—like the rapid growth of little Gawain—but the concept of someone travelling from the future was still startling.

Morgan tried to keep her calm demeanour. Galahad and Lancelot were locked in a tense exchange, neither paying attention to Morgan's internal struggle.

Lancelot, with a sceptical smile, addressed Galahad. "You say I'm your father and you come from the future. But I find it hard to believe I have such a grown-up son. Today isn't the time for jokes—I need to know the truth."

Galahad's face darkened. His attempts to explain were met with disbelief, making him feel disheartened. "If you refuse to believe me, that's your choice. I won't force you to accept it or take responsibility for me. But I swear I'm not lying."

Relief washed over Galahad after finally voicing his feelings. Holding back had been like a persistent thorn, and now, he felt lighter. "It's true—facing the truth is better than hiding from it."

Lancelot frowned, still doubtful. "If what you say is true, then who is your mother? And why do you treat me this way?"

Galahad responded firmly, "I won't reveal my mother's identity, and I'm determined to prevent you from meeting her again in this timeline."

Lancelot's suspicion remained. "I need to uncover the truth. If you're lying, I'll confront you. If not, I need to understand what's going on."

Galahad suggested, "If it turns out to be true, please avoid relationships with other women in the future."

Lancelot was puzzled by this comment. "I'm not the type to pursue women frivolously."

Galahad, unwilling to continue, turned away. "I'll figure this out, and I must find the truth, or it will haunt me forever."

Morgan, observing the exchange, tried to comfort Galahad. "It's understandable to have a strong reaction. If I were in your place, I'd react similarly."

Galahad, unsure of what to say next, looked at Morgan. His own experiences with his father had been challenging.

Morgan offered a supportive gesture. "Since this matter is settled, don't dwell on it too much. Stay with Camelot and consider us your family. As for the other Knights of the Round Table, they are also your relatives."

Morgan's concern was evident, especially regarding Galahad's interactions with Lancelot. "By the way, Galahad, keep an eye on Lancelot and make sure he doesn't get involved with Guinevere again."

Galahad nodded in agreement. "I will make sure of it."

After parting ways with Morgan and Galahad, Lancelot was left contemplating where to find the truth about Galahad's claims. Stuck on the British side for the moment, he wondered whom he should consult.

While Lancelot pondered his options, Merlin appeared, offering his assistance. "You seem to have a question on your mind. I can help answer it."

Merlin observed Morgan's actions and saw an opportunity. Lancelot was the strongest knight in the Round Table, and despite Galahad's growth under the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, Lancelot remained a formidable figure. Merlin knew that, without Lott present, he needed to act quickly.

Merlin's plan involved making Lancelot a valuable ally for the future King Arthur. He needed to ensure Lancelot's support, making him a crucial part of his grand design. Merlin's mind was always focused on shaping the future he envisioned, and he would not easily change his plans.

Merlin's ability to see beyond immediate events allowed him to understand the significance of Galahad's identity. While he could not foresee the future in detail, his insights and plans were guided by the patterns he observed.

Before Merlin could reveal his strategy to Lancelot, Lancelot's impatience led him to take a more aggressive approach. He physically confronted Merlin, kicking him in frustration.

Merlin, surprised by Lancelot's reaction, prepared to handle the situation, understanding that his role was crucial in guiding Lancelot through these turbulent revelations.

As Lancelot grappled with the truth, Merlin's role in orchestrating the future remained as vital as ever.
