While Charles and Diana were talking in the study, Linda, Mira, and Mordred, along with the three sisters of the War Pastor, were chatting in the living room.

Mira and Linda have become familiar with each other during this time. Diana had just returned to the Knowledge City from the prairies when she went to find Mira and gave her the gift that Charstow had brought herself. With Charles as a link, Mira quickly became acquainted with Diana. So everyone's conversation quickly turned to the new Mordred.

It was the first time that Mordred had spoken to someone her own age, and when she was on the farmstead before, there were no opportunities for conversation between her peers, and there was only one Charles of the same age in the caravan, which made her very nervous at first.

Fortunately, although Linda is the princess, she has always been pampered, and now she still has some silly sweetness, and she doesn't care much about Mordred's identity. In other words, living in a birdcage, she has not yet been tainted with some of the core values of feudalism. Mila was as gentle as ever, their family did not discriminate against commoners and keep slaves, and Mordred was the child of a knight in the family, although she was an adopted daughter, so she took good care of Mordred. This made Mordred quickly relax.

It's just that Mordred tells her own stories, including but not limited to the fact that when she was four years old, her food was often robbed by other slaves, and she was so hungry that she could only steal duck feed to satisfy her hunger; when she was five years old, she was sick and lay in the stable, barely able to move, and was almost dragged away and buried, but fortunately, she climbed to the side of the stable, picked the mushrooms that grew at the foot of the wooden wall and ate them raw; and at the age of six, she began to be called to do work that others did not want to do— She dragged people who were dying of starvation and dying of illness to be buried, one night when she was seven years old, she was almost burned to death in the stable, when she was eight years old, she was frozen after seeing a man living in a stable, who accidentally dropped a basket containing duck eggs and was hung from a tree by the steward, who had been pulled as something for pay and had to burrow into a pile of horse manure to keep warm in the winter.

After a long while, Mira, who held Mordred in her arms, asked, "Didn't you think about running away?"

Mordred shook her head, then pointed to the position of her neck, "At that time, we all had magic marks on our necks, and if we didn't cast a spell for a while, we would have died." ”

At this time, Linda came back from the bathroom, and when Mordred said that she could only get into the horse manure heap to keep warm in winter, she felt nauseous when she saw horse manure for the first time on the prairie, and then ran to the bathroom and vomited up today's dinner.

Later, the third sister of the Tactics Mu, who was still older, saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, so she shifted the topic to Charles.

Mira also wanted to know what Charles had experienced during this time, so she asked Mordred along the topic.

"Charles?" Mordred thought for a moment, tilting his head, "he's very nice to me." ”

"He used to give me delicious food, and I only saw the steward eat the preserves, and someone used to pick up half of the candied fruit that the steward had dropped on the ground to eat, and the man said that it was the best thing he had ever eaten, and Charles gave me preserves every day. ”

"And the cake, when we were in Mason City, we had a piece of cake to eat every morning. ”

Mordred gestured with her hand to the shape of the cake, which was half the size of her fist.

Charles said he didn't like it, so he gave me his share. How could he not like to eat such delicious things, I know she wants me to eat more. ”

"That's nice. Linda pouted there and said, "Only my father gave me something to eat, and Charles only sent me a bag of buns, and it was cold." ”

Mira laughed there as she continued to ask Mordred, "Did he buy you anything else?"

Mordred replied with a little pride, "He also bought me a very beautiful dress, more beautiful than the dresses worn by the eldest ladies who came to the manor before." ”

Linda came to her senses over there, "My father also gave me a lot of beautiful dresses. ”

The three sisters on the side snickered there, the princess they served was still very confident in her appearance, but Charles was not interested in her at all. She didn't speak more than three sentences today, except for the first greeting, which made her start to compete with Charles.

Mordred followed Linda's words and said, "Charles said that the clothes in the city are not pretty, and when we get to the elf's house, he will buy me a lot of beautiful dresses." ”

At the mention of going to the elf's territory, Linda turned her head away and stopped talking.

Then she turned her head and asked Mordred a little narrowly, "Has he slept with you?"

Mordred shook her head and said, "No, I'm with my mom at night." In Mason City, when my mother was away, he would read to me at night and cover me with a quilt when I went to bed. ”

Then Linda complained, "Isn't he like your father anymore?" My father also gave me good food, gave me beautiful dresses, and told me stories before I went to bed. ”

"Father?" Mordred stayed there, she had no parents since she was a child, and she didn't know what her mother was like until she met Artoria, but she didn't have the slightest idea of what her father should be.

Mira was there crying and laughing, "Linda, don't talk nonsense. ”

"I'm not wrong. Linda pouted, "That's how my father is, he almost slept with Mordred's mother." ”

"Huh?" Mordred looked at Linda curiously, "Is Father going to sleep with Mother?"

"It must be!" exclaimed Linda, "isn't that what it's written in it?" ”

Then Mordred pondered, and after a while she said, "One day he was away with his mother, and the next morning I smelled his mother......"

Outside the living room, Charles, who happened to come out of the study on the second floor with Diana, was just about to go into the living room and get the conversation of the girls rolling into the ditch back on track, when he suddenly found himself standing there unable to move, and his whole body seemed to be turned to stone.

He saw Diana walking from behind smile and pull back a stick in the shape of a rolling pin with writing on it, and she patted her shoulder before turning and walking towards the living room.

After a while, Diana's voice came from the living room, "Child, when you were born, the land whispered your name, Mordred. ”

"Child, Charles will proudly watch you grow up day by day and become the embodiment of justice......"
