The craving in his stomach made Ritter temporarily give up on everything, such as what Morgan had done to him before he fainted, what time it was, and his naked body.
Morgan, who had been fighting with the old foxes in the palace hall for an entire afternoon, who wanted to marry him off after a month, looked at the drooling Ritter. He sighed helplessly and tilted his head to look at Dina, who was serving him dinner on his right."Go and make another…um, five servings of these. If you are too busy, go to the main dining room and let the maids do it. You just have to watch them.”
Although Morgan was in a bad mood because of those old foxes, he didn't make a fuss about it with Ritter. Instead, he asked Dina to prepare dinner for Ritter in a gentle tone that made Dina feel strange.
But even so, Dina didn't dare to hesitate. She quickly left the room and went to the main dining room, which was also the dining room specially used by King Uther. She asked the maids to make five servings of the same dinner as Morgan's. The reason was that Dina knew what Morgan would do if he was in a bad mood, so she didn't think she could be so gentle to Ritter, and Morgan, who didn't want to make use of him to make a fuss, wouldn't treat her the same way. Even though Dina knew that Morgan wouldn't kill her over such a small matter, she didn't want to be beaten up over such a small matter.
Ritter, who felt that Morgan was acting a little strange, raised his hand to wipe his drool. After Dina left, he picked up his silver knife and fork again and cut a small piece of medium-well steak into his mouth."Did something bad happen after I fainted? Bah…Morgan."
Ritter knew when he could joke and when he couldn't. He didn't call Morgan 'bitch' at this time. Instead, he changed his words before he habitually called him that.
Morgan immediately replied," No," but he regretted it immediately. The reason was that she had replied too quickly. It sounded like she was saying " Yes."
Therefore, just as Morgan was about to say something, Ritter, who wanted to get out of bed but couldn't because his body was naked, sat up and said,"Tell me what happened. Although I can't guarantee that I can help you solve it, I can guarantee that I can help you come up with an idea. By the way, if it really doesn't work, I can ask my teacher to help you, even if my head will be hit by my teacher's staff a few times.”
Ritey, who had one hand covering his body with the blanket and the other scratching his messy short golden hair, said this because he didn't want Morgan to be upset about anything. He wanted Morgan to be happy.
As for the matter of Morgan whipping his thigh, he could slowly settle the score with her. Anyway, Merlin had told him that revenge could not be achieved overnight. Moreover, this was not a grudge.
"…Those damned old things requested that I choose one of the unmarried young nobles in the capital to be my husband on the day of my coming-of-age ceremony!”
Morgan thought for a while before angrily saying something that upset her.
After hearing Morgan's words, Ritter suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart. However, this feeling quickly disappeared because he remembered something that would prevent Morgan from choosing a noble to be his husband on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony.
Morgan, who had seen Ritter's depressed expression, smiled. He was about to ask if he had thought of something when he heard Ritter say,"According to the reliable information I received, King Yosef is about to die, so if King Yosef…dies before your coming-of-age ceremony, other than those with ill intentions, who would dare to let you, the daughter of King Yosef, choose one of the nobles to be your husband on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony?”
Litte was not called " little fox " by Merlin for no reason. His cunningness was on par with that of a fox. Sometimes, he could even surpass a fox. For example, he had a cunning smile on his face and said something that could make those old foxes bite him to death.
Morgan, who hadn't expected this, was in a good mood after hearing Ritter's words. However, it was temporary. The reason was that Ritter's method couldn't completely solve this problem."Unruly people, the method you mentioned can solve that problem, but…”
Before Morgan could finish, Ritter, who knew what she wanted to say next, raised his hand and interrupted her.
The cunning smile on Ritter's face did not change. He raised his index finger and said to Morgan, who was looking at him with a questioning expression,"It's very easy to completely solve the problem of those old things forcing you to get married. As long as you tell them frankly that the dowry is for the entire empire, you won't get married because you don't want some vile people with evil intentions to marry you and own the entire empire. You will dedicate your life to the empire. As for the issue of the heir, you can tell them clearly that you 'servants' have no right to worry about this matter. Of course, those old geezers would definitely be furious, but you can use my teacher as a shield.”
If Merlin had heard what Ritter said, he would definitely kick him into the wall on the left side of the bed. He had the power to make Morgan not marry and suppress all opposition and dissatisfaction. He had a tacit attitude towards those old foxes forcing her to marry.
In fact, if it were not for Merlin, this empire that had been divided since King Yosef fell ill would have long fallen into bloody civil strife. However, even Merlin could not unite the divided empire. It was not because Merlin was not strong enough, nor was it because Merlin did not want to. It was because Merlin was not a 'king' who could win the respect of the people, reunite the scattered hearts of the people, and make those nobles who harbored evil intentions but did not want to bear the infamy of being traitors have no choice but to obey.
Merlin, who knew who could become the " king ", chose to marry off Morgan, who was currently sitting on the throne, in order to help this person clear the path to the throne. However, due to various reasons, Merlin could not clearly express his intention to do so, so he could only tacitly allow those old foxes to do it.
Therefore, if Merlin made it clear that he opposed Morgan's marriage, those old foxes who were still on one side would immediately split into two factions. One faction supported Morgan's marriage, while the other, like Merlin, opposed Morgan's marriage.
Knowing that as long as Merlin expressed his opposition to her marriage, Morgan, who was in a very passive position, would have the initiative. Morgan did not think that Merlin, who had always been tacitly approving of her marriage, would help her. However, just as she was about to tell Ritter that Merlin would not help her, Ritter raised his second finger, which was the middle finger, before she could."I know what you're worried about. I also know that your relationship with my teacher is very…um…terrible. If you ask him for help, he definitely won't help you. However, this is only your request, not mine. I firmly believe that if I ask my teacher for help, my teacher will definitely help. Although my outcome will be very miserable, this is also considered returning a favor to you, so it doesn't matter.”
The confident Ritter shrugged at Morgan with a cunning smile.
As for where Ritter's confidence came from, Ritter said that a teacher might refuse a student's request, but a grandfather would never refuse his own child's request.
Looking at Ritter's confident expression, Morgan, who thought that even if he asked Merlin for help, Merlin would not help him, nodded with the spirit of 'trying every last resort' and said,"This prince will send someone to look for…no, invite the Preceptor to come over and discuss.”
Not only did she change the way she addressed Merlin, but she was also very polite to him because he was her last life-saving straw. Otherwise, she would never do this after being tricked by Merlin many times.
"It's already so late. Don't send someone to invite my teacher over. If someone sees it, things will become very troublesome. Besides, you don't need to discuss anything with my teacher. You only need to repeat what I said in front of my teacher tomorrow. My teacher will know that it was my idea. By then, even if he doesn't express his attitude, he will change his original attitude or find an excuse to leave for a while. After that, he will come here and give me a harsh lesson.”
Ritter, who understood Merlin and was also understood by Merlin, said this, but in his heart, he was thinking,'Should I play hide-and-seek with Merlin tomorrow, or should I wait for Merlin to teach me a lesson with a proper attitude?'
Of course, Ritter thought this way because he was sure that after Merlin heard Morgan's words, the first thing he would do was to come to Morgan's room to find him. Then, he would teach Ritter a harsh lesson, and finally, he would ask Ritter what he meant and other things.
Morgan, who had wanted to insist on his idea, could only nod at Ritter and give up the idea of sending someone to invite Merlin over to discuss. Instead, he enjoyed his slightly cold steak again.
Sizzling sounds came from Ritter's mouth when Morgan put the third piece of steak into his mouth. Morgan found it funny and helpless. He looked at Ritter, who was sucking and wiping his saliva with his hand, and sighed.“……。”
I am the dividing line.
