19 19. Ambition is born in joy

　　"Ian, what are you talking about!"

　　Morgan stood up, took a few steps to the side, and turned her back to Ian.

　　"I order you to take back what you just said."

　　Morgan's words didn't make Ian flinch.

　　He stood up and came behind Morgan.

　　"My Lady, I will take back what I just said."

　　"only--"

　　"Are you really unwilling to consider this possibility? You were crying so sadly under me just now. I even felt that the forest was crying because of it."

　　"Are you teaching me how to do something?!"

　　Morgan turned around and said anxiously.

　　"Don't forget that you are just a pawn that I can throw away at any time! How dare you turn around and point fingers at me now?"

　　"My Lady, I am indeed a chess piece that you can throw away at any time." Ian said very sincerely.

　　"But at the same time, I am also a knight who looks up to you."

　　"I can't see you so upset, I think you deserve this."

　　"Ian, I don't allow you to say such things!"

　　Morgan trembled all over after being poked in a painful spot.

　　"Kneel down, kneel down!"

　　[Although you knew these were Morgan's angry words, you still followed her request and knelt down in front of her. ]

　　[You are silent, like a stone statue. ]

　　[Seeing you like this, Morgan realizes that she has hurt your loyalty again. ]

　　[She wants to make some remedies. ]

　　"Well, Ian, that's not what I meant." Morgan tilted his head slightly, "I didn't mean to make you..."

　　Before Morgan finished speaking, Ian had already spoken:

　　"My Lady, you don't need to explain anything to me. I am your knight. Whatever you ask me to do is reasonable."

　　"I won't have any complaints."

　　Ian's nonchalant look made Morgan feel even more guilty.

She finally took the initiative to bend down and help Ian up.

　　"Sorry, Ian."

　　"I don't want to blame you, but what you just said is too much...I can't accept such a thing."

　　"Then the princess——"

　　Ian's eyes were direct and sharp.

　　"Can you accept the fact that you can't become the king?"

　　Ian is not necessarily the person who knows Morgan best.

　　But he must be the one who knows the princess's pain best.

　　Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

　　Morgan's face became very embarrassed, but because of what happened just now, she did not let her temper run wild again.

　　"Ian, what if I can't accept it?"

　　"Then overthrow everything." Ian said very firmly.

　　"Do you want to go against my father?"

　　Ian shook his head.

　　"Not really."

　　"If there is always a king in Britain, why not you?"

　　"Because my father said that I will not be that king." Morgan looked at his hands, his eyes looking extremely lonely.

　　"Ian, you should know better than me."

　　"But the king will sometimes make mistakes." Ian continued, "My Lady, are you really willing to admit that the heir whom you have never met can replace you?"

　　"But what if she is really more virtuous than me?"

　　"Then she will cease to exist." Ian said word by word.

　　"That way no one can be more worthy than you."

　　[Morgan was shocked by your speech. ]

　　[She looks at you over and over again, trying to confirm that you are just being quick to talk. ]

　　[But she soon discovered that you were serious and seemed very determined. ]

　　"Ian, do you know what you are talking about?" Morgan's blue eyes looked closely at the man in front of him.

　　"I allow you to take back this sentence now, and I can pretend that I didn't hear it."

　　"My Lady, I know." Ian said without any hesitation, "Since I can't get rid of Vortigern for you, then I must at least get rid of those who compete with you for the throne."

"Even if I use despicable means, I will definitely achieve this goal. "

　　Morgan gasped.

　　She knew that the Ian in front of her was not a ruthless person - he could not even forget the knights who were killed due to temporary confrontation while lurking under Vortigern, let alone now?

　　This is all for herself.

　　"Ian, do you really need to do this?"

　　Morgan touched her hand, and she could still feel some residual warmth from the other person.

　　"If you are just obsessed with desire for a moment, I can forgive you this time."

　　"After all, you did waste a period of time for no reason because of me."

　　Ian shook his head.

　　"My Lady"

　　"I do have endless desire for you, and I have also hoped that you can satisfy me."

　　"But I'm also passionate about your vision - I want to see you build Britain."

　　"..."

　　Morgan was silent for a while.

　　"Ian, do you really think I have this ability? Even if my father once told you that."

　　"My Lady, if I didn't believe you could do it, you wouldn't be sharing the joy with me in this forest right now."

　　"Let me think about it," Morgan replied.

　　"Ian, come here and stay with me."

　　[You and Morgan sat under the tree by the lake. ]

　　[When you see her thinking seriously, you feel touched like never before. ]

　　[You observe all this silently until she turns her head and warns you to stop staring at her. ]

　　[But a warning is a warning, and you find Morgan holding your hand. ]

　　[You realize that she is actually a little scared when she is thinking about this. ]

　　[You hold her hand tightly to tell her not to be nervous. ]

　　[She did not come up with the answer immediately. ]

　　[That night, Morgan, who couldn't sleep, used you next to her as a pastime. ]

　　[Your fingers were gently wrapped around under her fingers. ]

　　[At dawn, she finally fell asleep on your shoulder. ]

　　[You couldn't bear to wake her up, so you guarded everything silently. ]

　　[In the afternoon, Morgan woke up. ]

　　[After seeing you protecting her like a soldier, she once again allowed you to do something. ]

　　[After having fun on the grass for a while, you packed up your clothes and prepared to set off again. ]

　　[You brought her a war horse and waited for her to get on it. ]

　　[Horse hooves rise and fall silently on the forest path. You have arrived at the exit of the forest, preparing to return to the royal court. ]

　　[At this moment, Morgan stopped his horse. ]

　　"Ian."

　　"My lady"

　　"Out of this forest..." Morgan looked back at the beautiful scenery of the forest.

　　"There's no turning back for us."

　　"Do you really not regret betraying my father for someone like me?"

　　Ian smiled slightly.

　　"My Lady, as long as you decide, I will never regret it."

　　"Really? I hope you're not lying to me."

　　During the two people's casual conversation, the war horse gradually walked out of the forest.

　　Only the turbid water in the lake silently spoke of Morgan's ambition that was aroused in joy.
