37. Magic guard made of flower petals

　　[Morgan's words made you wary. ]

　　[You won't let anyone hurt Morgan. ]

　　[You hold your sword while carrying Morgan on your back. ]

　　[Talent Blessing in the Lake + Activate. ]

　　[As your magic power has improved, you feel that there is indeed a faint breath in the air. ]

　　[However, you can't tell what it is. ]

　　[But like what Morgab said, it should be the so-called magic traces. ]

　　"Ian, put me down."

　　"Okay, my lady."

　　There will always be countless traces of fire between the princess and the knight, but at the critical moment, they will hide it deep in their hearts.

　　This is not just for yourself, but also for the other person.

　　His feet returned to the earth, but Morgan didn't feel at all solid in his heart.

　　"Ian, something's not right."

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

　　"My Lady, even I can feel something abnormal at this moment."

　　"What...is going on?"

　　"It's not clear yet."

　　Morgan no longer looked happy as she had just been on horseback.

　　It was replaced by a more serious look - that was the stern look she usually showed everyone.

　　"Ian, be careful."

　　"Yes, I will, my lady."

　　[You drew out the long sword on your waist and began to be alert to the situation around you. ]

　　[You will protect Morgan behind you and swear to protect her to the death. ]

　　[Your attention has reached an unprecedented level of concentration. ]

　　[But some things don't seem to be something that can be avoided by focusing on it. ]

　　[You and Morgan are constantly exploring. ]

　　[A dark shadow is coming towards you. ]

　　[By the time you react, it has already arrived in front of you. ]

　　Ian had never thought that there could be a creature that could come directly to him.

　　The night is already dark.

　　Being in the forest, he didn't clearly recognize what it was, but the instinct in his blood had surpassed his own thinking.

　　"Don't harm the princess!"

　　Ian drew his new sword without hesitation.

　　Although he wasn't that easy yet, he knew that now was not the time to complain about this.

　　All he has to do is draw his sword for the princess!

　　Bang!

　　The sound of metal clashing echoed in the dark woods.

　　With just such a simple confrontation, Ian felt the menace of the other party - this kind of strength is definitely not simple!

　　But something even more surprising is yet to come.

　　The dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and the bright moon that was originally obscured appeared.

　　In the dark forest, the bright moonlight ushered in.

　　Ian's eyes widened, unable to believe what he saw.

　　Because what stood in front of him was not an attacker or some kind of wild beast, but... a pair of armor!

　　To be precise, it was a pair of armor that no one was wearing but was moving, and in its hand was a giant sword!

　　What just collided with me was actually such a thing? !

　　Ian gasped, but his will to fight did not weaken at all.

　　Because behind him is the person he swore allegiance to.

　　Backing off?

　　That is something that is impossible to do even after death!

　　No matter what it is, as long as he dares to try to hurt Morgan, it is absolutely impossible for him not to stand in front of her!

　　However--

　　Just when Ian was about to charge towards the armor again, Morgan stopped him at this moment.

　　"Ian, there's no need to fight anymore."

　　"It won't move anymore."

　　"Um?"

　　When Morgan said this, Ian discovered that after the unmanned armor showed its true form, it remained still and completely lost its previous menacing appearance.

　　He took a deep breath and thrust his long sword towards the opponent.

　　The moment the sword hit, the armor turned into petals and fell to the ground in the wind.

　　Ian couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing, but he soon realized it was part of some kind of magic.

　　He looked at Morgan aside.

　　"My Lady."

　　"It's magic." Morgan confirmed Ian's idea, "Let's look around again."

　　"Understood."

　　[You and Morgan search again. ]

　　[Soon, you will find more unmanned armors like this. ]

　　[It's just that every pair of armor is the same as the first one you encountered - they just make a slashing motion and then stop taking any action. ]

　　[And when your sword blade hits them, these seemingly menacing armors will turn into petals and dissipate. ]

　　[After several times, Morgan stopped you. ]

　　"My Lady."

　　Ian looked at the petals on the ground.

　　"What on earth is this..."

　　"It should be what the magician who hid the name of another heir did last time." Morgan replied in a slightly depressed voice.

　　"These armors were most likely petals from the beginning, but we treated them as armor."

　　Magic enough that one can recognize flower petals as armor?

　　If it were someone else who said this, Ian felt that he would not be able to believe such a thing anyway.

　　But it happened that the person speaking in front of him at this moment was Morgan.

　　Although they had sex every night, Ian never forgot that she was an excellent magician.

　　When it came to magic, there was never any doubt in her words.

　　But he also quickly realized a problem:

　　"My Lady, why did these armors just chop once and then stop?"

　　"Because--"

　　Morgan looked at the knight beside him who was still holding the sword.

　　"I'm afraid these are just guards to ensure that certain magic is effective. He probably didn't expect that anyone would dare to step forward and face these unarmored people like you, right?"

　　"Ian, your bravery allowed me to discover these things."

　　Facing Morgan's words, Ian just smiled lightly and put the long sword back into the scabbard.

　　"My Lady, I am just fulfilling my promise."

　　"As long as I'm here, it's impossible for you to be harmed."

　　"But my lady, I do have a question - since we have already arranged this kind of thing, why not just do the combat part as well? No matter how you think about it, this is a more comprehensive approach."

　　"It can't be...it's because the magician is too lazy to do it, right?"

　　"I don't have any idea."

　　Morgan's expression looked very complicated.

　　"But I can feel that there may be new problems coming before us."

　　"Ian, will everything we have now be destroyed again?"

　　Seeing Morgan's appearance, Ian said nothing more.

　　He held Morgan in his arms, gently stroked her back, and replied:

　　"Will not."

　　"My Lady, I swear to you with my life."

　　"No one can take away what you have."

　　"The last figure sitting on the throne will always be you alone."
