Chapter 108: Night of the Long Knives (Nacht der langen Messer)(11/?)

After a moment of silence, Morringan allowed Bernard some time to adjust. Bernard, on the other hand, was calm and shy. Unexpectedly for Morringan, he behaved almost like a child.

But according to Seth, he was a monster on the battlefield. Despite feeling bad, Morringan couldn't help but like Bernard's sincere smile. Accepting someone older than herself as her son was strange, though.

"Since you're my son, that makes you a prince," Morringan said with a gentle smile. Bernard, however, still felt odd as he hadn't gotten used to the situation yet.

Being the stepson of someone as legendary as Morgana was peculiar. Only a while ago, he thought he had come here for a completely different reason. But contrary to his expectations, Morgana had summoned him because he reminded her of Mordred.

Bernard knew Morgana's legend. She was often depicted as an enemy to her own kin, a fanatic, and even a demon. At least, that's what the Church's books said.
