Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice II

Chapter 208

Shirou was at a loss as to how things had turned out this way. All he knew was that his stomach was beginning to ache with increasing intensity.

Initially, Morgan had her sights set on Scathach's womb, which had struck him as comical and worth a good laugh. However, right now he was in no position to laugh since she had now turned her attention to his body.

"Sigh..."

He let out a deep sigh as he set the documents aside, his face betraying a worrisome expression.

Merlin chimed in, "Why the long face, my king? This seems like a win-win to me. Not only does it put an end to your conflict with Morgan, but it also gives you a chance to enjoy some quality time with a lovely lady. And besides, she doesn't seem to object. Trust me, once you've savored the sweet nectar of a beauty, you'll be hooked."

He cast a brief glance in Merlin's direction and said, "Don't make it sound so repulsive; just do your job."

"Alright, alright," Merlin pouted and lowered his head in response.

Shirou picked up the daily documents once more and resumed reading. He was keenly aware of his own predicament and had a deep understanding of his own character. A beautiful young woman had proposed that she bear his child, and he had known her for quite some time and was familiar with her. It was only natural for such an offer to be tempting for any man, and he was no exception.

However, he also knew himself well enough to acknowledge that if he were to father a child during this era, he might lack the courage to leave when the time came.

Being a responsible person was a defining trait of his character. It was this sense of duty that had driven him to insist on returning home, and he had willingly donned the crown without ever voicing any complaints about the hardships it entailed.

For Shirou, his sense of responsibility was everything. If he couldn't take proper care of a woman, he would decline any advances from her and would refuse to father any children, no matter what the circumstances.

He was a man of unwavering determination and clear goals, and he refused to be swayed by his lower body. Once he had made up his mind, no one could change it.

However, someone had taken a keen interest in him and was willing to resort to any means to achieve her goals.

For example, right now -

Morgan had prepared a mouth-watering spread of food, which she brought in and set before him.

As Shirou perused the dishes, he noticed a fish and asked, "What is this?"

"It's fish soup," she responded.

He turned to Merlin for an explanation.

Merlin threw up his hands in resignation and admitted, "It's an aphrodisiac."

Shirou gestured towards another dish and asked, "And what's this?"

She replied, "It's chicken soup."

Merlin let out a sigh and confessed, "It's a love potion."

Shirou pointed to another dish and asked, "What about this one?"

She clenched her teeth and responded through gritted teeth, "It's just plain bread!"

After speaking, she shot Merlin a menacing look.

Merlin hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shirou, only to find that he was staring at him with expressionless face.

Feeling a shiver run down his spine, he quickly threw Morgan under the bus and admitted, "It's a mind-altering drug."

Shirou remained expressionless as he uttered, "Take them away."
