35. An engagement is by no means an ordinary matter.

　　"I understand, my lady."

　　Ian was as calm as ever, as if Morgan's previous request was just a question of how his day was.

　　This actually made Morgan a little unhappy.

　　"Oh, Ian, is this your reaction?"

　　"For you, marrying me turned out to be such an ordinary thing?"

　　"My lady, my feelings are by no means ordinary."

　　Ian manipulated the horse rope skillfully, which made the two people on the horse hardly feel any bumps.

　　"I just can't find any words to describe it."

　　"But how are you going to prove this?"

　　Morgan refused to give up.

　　"I have no way of knowing your true inner thoughts."

　　"My Lady, I cannot prove this."

　　Ian hugged Morgan a little tighter.

　　"And companionship is the only thing I can do."

　　"So I can only explain it to you bit by bit in the future."

　　Hearing this, Morgan's face flashed with joy for a moment, but soon returned to calm.

　　"Ian, you should know that I didn't ask you to marry me because I love you."

　　"I understand, my lady."

　　Ian answered like he was familiar with everything.

　　"I am your possession, a chess piece for you to drive, a knight to serve you."

　　"But it's still my most honored moment."

　　"Are you not sad at all?" Morgan asked softly.

　　"You are just my plaything."

　　"Yes, I'm not sad. Your choice, Princess, has always been the path I should take."

　　[Morgan did not answer you. ]

　　[But you can feel her getting closer to you. ]

　　[The wheat field grown from the seeds made by magic was blown by the wind, and the ears of rice floated from the wheat stalks like a golden drizzle. ]

　　[As they drift away in the wind, you hear Morgan's voice again. ]

　　"Ian, don't you have any regrets?"

　　Morgan asked as he looked at the harvest scene in front of him.

　　"I have."

　　"Then tell me, when was it?"

"When you needed my good morning, I left first. To this day, it is still a regret in my heart."

　　"Other than that?"

　　"Failed to kill Vortigern for you."

　　"Except for this."

　　"Well... I couldn't find the hidden heir for you."

　　"Isn't this all my regret?" Morgan suddenly woke up.

　　"Yes, because it is your regret, it is also my regret."

　　"..."

　　Morgan lightly elbowed Ian.

　　"Ian, people like you deserve to be used by me for the rest of your life."

　　"But I am willing, my lady."

　　"How stupid."

　　Although she said this, Morgan's hand touched Ian's hand.

　　"Without me, you don't know how many women would have been deceived and how many times your heart would have been broken."

　　[The two of you hold the horse's rope together. ]

　　[This is a very intimate act. Just one glance will tell you that your relationship is extraordinary. ]

　　[Of course, all this only exists on the premise of seeing it. ]

　　[There is no one else around you now]

　　[This is your alone time. ]

　　[The princess's horse walked forward until it reached the end of the wheat field. ]

　　"Stop, Ian," Morgan said.

　　"I want to go down and have a look."

　　"Okay, my lady."

　　Ian served Morgan expertly.

　　With a very graceful movement she landed on the field road.

　　"Ian, take me to the wheat field where the growth is best."

　　"I understand, my lady."

　　At Morgan's request, Ian held her hand and led her to a wheat field that was growing most gratifyingly.

　　This is the one that occupies the most fertile land and the most nourishing water source among all wheat fields.

　　Therefore, compared with other wheat fields, people with a discerning eye can immediately tell that it is different.

　　Morgan walked over.

　　She broke off an ear of wheat, looked at it, selected it for a while, and then pinched off a few seeds.

　　"Ian, come here."

　　"Yes."

　　"Open your mouth."

　　"ah--"

　　Morgan placed her seed-coated fingers on Ian's tongue.

　　"Ian, eat it."

　　Ian nodded, then took Morgan's slender fingers into his mouth.

　　And she, with a hint of playfulness, gently stirred it between his lips for a while, and then pulled out her fingers with a look of pleasure on her face.

　　"How do wheat ears taste?"

　　"...It seems a little bitter."

　　"Any other feelings?"

　　"...Dry."

　　Morgan frowned slightly - this expression didn't seem to be a good sign.

　　"Ian, the situation is a little more troublesome than imagined."

　　"My magic seems to be difficult to reverse the land's decline."

　　"It's not your fault, my lady."

　　Ian took the ear of wheat from Morgan and tasted some more.

　　He smiled and said:

　　"And my dear princess, there are still sweet and plump ears in this."

　　"It's good that you can notice the flaws, but please don't forget the beautiful things that are made because of you."

　　"Your magic is indeed of great benefit to us, so I hope you won't feel sad because of it."

　　Hearing these words, Morgan sneered.

　　"Hey, Ian, don't you want to make me sad when you say these things?"

　　"My lady, you asked me to marry you, didn't you do it so that I wouldn't have to be sad because of a bad woman?" Ian replied respectfully, "We have the same idea."

　　"Ian, you really know how to put yourself in someone else's shoes."

　　Morgan turned around and hooked Ian's chin with the fingers that had been stained with wheat ears.

　　"But aren't you worried that I am also a bad woman?"

　　"I'm really not worried," Ian said calmly.

"If you, the Queen, were a bad woman, I think I would have died long ago without a burial place. "

　　"Even if you take a step back, if you, the Queen, are really a so-called bad woman, spending so much time on me may be enough to prove that your ability in this area is slightly lacking."

　　"I-en." Morgan stared at the knight in front of him, "Are you trying to express that I have no charm?"

　　"I'm sorry, my lady, that's not what I meant."

　　"No, you are." Morgan crossed his arms.

　　"I am angry."

　　"I'm going to punish you now."

　　"I'll punish you by clinging to my ego for a day."

　　Although they know that each other may have more important things to do.

　　But Ian understood that this was a relaxation that there was no reason to refuse - and he knew that Morgan felt the same way.

　　Although after that, it might be a little difficult for the two of them to explain where the day went.

　　But what does it matter?

　　"As you command, my lady."

　　"Well, get on your horse."

　　[You and Morgan are back on the war horse. ]

　　[You don't have any destination, but you are avoiding this question tacitly. ]

　　[You know that you will discuss many beautiful things on this day, whether it is the wedding or the future. ]

　　[But what you don't know is: tonight, you will discover another secret. ]
