Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 145

After regaining his bearings, Shirou faced Morgan's questioning with a calm smile and replied, "Dear sister, this question can only be answered by God, for our appearance is not something we can control."

Morgan laughed while covering her mouth, displaying her elegance. "That's true."

Just then, Artoria approached them, and her blue eyes fell on Morgan's face, which was strikingly similar to her own, causing her to freeze in surprise.

Shirou quickly cleared his throat and took Artoria's slender arm before she could ask anything. He introduced Morgan first, saying, "Artoria, this is our sister, Morgan le Fay."

Upon hearing this, Artoria felt her heart tighten. She had heard about her sister, who had inherited the power of the island, several times from Ector and Merlin. Why did she seek an audience with the king now? Could it be that she had seen through Guinevere's true identity? Artoria felt a bit nervous and put on a stern expression as she greeted Morgan, "Hello...sister."

Morgan thought to herself, 'What an impolite child.' Her first impression of Artoria wasn't great, but since she was still a member of the Pendragon family, Morgan replied blandly, "Hello, my dear sister...By the way, what's your name?"

"I...I am Artoria Pendragon," she replied stiffly.

"Artoria...a nice name," Morgan nodded in agreement before asking, "By the way, why do you refer to Arthur as King? Doesn't that create a sense of distance?"

Artoria didn't know how to answer. In her fifteen years of education, Merlin had taught her many things, but he had never taught her how to fool people!

Afraid that Artoria might give herself away, Shirou smoothly took over the conversation with a smile, "Actually, Artie now considers herself a knight under my name, so she calls me her king...speaking of which, Gareth has also become a Squire of Gawain. According to the rules, Gareth should also refer to Gawain as sir or lord, shouldn't she?"

He skillfully shifted the topic, and it worked wonderfully as Morgan's gaze immediately turned to her son.

Gawain felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.

Shirou thought to himself, 'Sorry, Gawain, but you have to be the scapegoat this time!' He continued to ask, "By the way, I didn't see Gareth just now. Where is she?"

Gawain's forehead began to sweat even more profusely, and his gaze instinctively turned towards the carriage.

Morgan cleared her throat and drew everyone's attention. She flashed a graceful smile and said, "As for Gareth, she still needs to review some magecraft lessons at the hotel, so she hasn't come over."

Shirou nodded knowingly, but he didn't believe it at all. He had noticed Gawain's gaze shifting towards the carriage, indicating that Gareth was likely inside. However, he knew that their family matters were not his concern, and the important thing was that the topic had been successfully shifted.

Artoria also breathed a sigh of relief. Lying and deceiving didn't come naturally to her, and while she didn't stop Shirou and thought he was doing the right thing, she knew that she couldn't have done it herself!

Shirou asked calmly, "By the way, why are you here, sister?"

"My dear little brother is about to ascend the throne and become a king. How could I, as his elder sister, not come to celebrate with other nobles from different kingdoms?" Morgan replied with a smile.

He was moved to tears and said, "You are so kind, my dear sister."

Morgan was pleased with Shirou's response and replied, "I'm glad you think so, Arthur."
