Fate/Magus Path

96 The Witch

"Damn it! How can they be so reckless and disrupt all the plans I've arranged?"

Compared to the smooth and unobstructed path of Roy, the mood of the young witch on the other side was quite the opposite.

In Avalon.

Through the magical mirror in front of her, Morgan le Fay watched as Roy shattered the bounded field she had set up, feeling a surge of anger in her heart.

"Ah, don't be angry now."

"After all, this new Magician is not the kind of person who follows rules. He's quite a restless character and certainly won't advance according to the rules you've set."

Seeing Morgan's fury, Merlin couldn't help but feel pleased. He stood up and smiled as he poured her a cup of flower tea.

After all, as the person who had spent the most time with Roy, he was naturally very familiar with him.

The level of restlessness from that Magician was something that couldn't be explained in just a few words.

But to be fair, it was quite interesting.

He didn't dislike being around such mischievous beings.

That's why, after the Holy Grail War ended, he continued to keep in close contact with Roy, to the point that they had become friends.

Now that Roy had gained recognition from the Root and was mastering the Third Magic, he was no longer just a pawn who could only drift with the tide during the Holy Grail War.

It was unrealistic for Morgan to expect him to act according to her will.

"The Magician of the Third Magic, a special existence that masters the Heaven's Feel, could even be compared to the Chief Gods during the peak of the age of gods if one were to elevate his power and expound upon concepts. He is indeed quite tricky." Morgan mused.

"So, are you prepared to give up?"

Upon hearing this, Merlin couldn't help but chuckle and continued to advise, "I think since Artoria has been reborn as a heroic spirit and has let go of her past tragedies, we shouldn't interfere in her life anymore."

"You have been preparing for her for so many years, haven't you hoped that after her revival, she would start a brand new life?"

"The curse of the gravekeeper or whatever, it's better to lift it. There's no need to create a whole bunch of trials for her, only to end with a drama of sisterly betrayal spanning a millennium. Such a development is too cruel for that girl; it will only make her sad."

"Oh?"

Merlin's words made Morgan pause slightly, raising an eyebrow and saying somewhat playfully, "I never expected to hear such words from you, of all people. What's wrong, Merlin? Didn't you used to enjoy such spectacles?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to pursue the interesting stories of the world? Do you think this kind of story lacks interest?"

"Ah? Really? I forgot..."

Merlin scratched his head awkwardly, but under Morgan's scrutinizing gaze, he slowly opened his mouth.

"It's definitely interesting. To be honest, I'm also quite looking forward to it, but for now, let's not."

"Roy is my friend, and I don't want to see him angry, especially regarding his feelings for Artoria..."

"Sigh... If I had to explain, it's probably a sense of debt. Artoria's death is still the only thing that evokes special emotions in me to this day."
