Chapter 75: Don't worry, I'll do it.

'Eh? The fuck is she talking about?! Don't tell me—' Ha Joon thought to himself as he watched Mordred walk past him.

Mordred, with an unbothered look on her face stood in front of Belinda, staring her directly in the eye.

"Do you have an issue you want to tell me about? Go on, I'll listen." Mordred uttered.

Belinda was quiet for a while.

"There's no issue, I'm just here to see her highness." Belinda responded.

"Her highness..."

Modred smiled a bit, and without uttering a single word, she placed her hand on Belinda's arm before moving her lips close to her ear and whispering...

"I can tell what you're thinking, and this isn't going to be like the other people I overlooked, if you lay a single finger on him, I will kill you, and that I promise."

Even as Mordred spoke, Belinda couldn't help but keep staring at Ha Joon, who had already walked up to Artoria's door.

The moment he opened it during Mordred's threats, Merlin charged out, hugging him.

"Ha Jooooooon! Where have you been darling?~" she cried out, burying Ha Joon's face in her cleavage.

"Uhmm uhmmm hpmmm!" Ha Joon mumbled, his face shoved deep in Merlin's boobies.

"Ahhh~ I thought the goddess came to take you from me... Artoria so mean, she wouldn't let me come check up on you~~"

Merlin hugged even tighter.

Mordred, who had a serious look on her face before, now seemed almost disgusted at the scene playing beside her.

"Merlin, keep that up and you're going to kill him."

Artoria voiced out from inside the office as she walked towards the center table to pick up the papers she had been organizing.

"Oh, Fufu~ my bad..." Merlin pulled out Ha Joon's head from her tits, and then grabbed his hand, "Come in, let's talk." She said before dragging him in.

Mordred shook her head, 'Obviously I can't leave them alone, who knows what else Merlin will do to him.'

She walked in also. And right after her was Belinda.

Once they were all in, they all took parts of the office to settle down.

"Pirates attacked the Left Central yesterday night, they took 500 of our civilians hostage, Sir Tristan and the commander have been on the search since midnight."

"What?" Artoria's eyes widened as she jerked up from the chair.

Even Mordred was a bit shocked from what she heard.

"Why didn't you tell me this immediately?!" Artoria yelled.

"We didn't know, I was only just informed by a soldier sent from Sir Tristan." Belinda immediately tried to defend herself.

"Ready the knights, we are heading to Left Central! 500 of my people getting abducted isn't something I'm willing to risk." Artoria walked towards the dummy at the side of the room where she hung her cape.

But as she was about to pick it, Mordred chimed in-

"You don't have to do that, let me do it myself."

Artoria paused, turning around to look at Artoria.

"It's obvious Lord Ha Joon needs you by his side, so I'll find the abducted hostages in your stead, along with my over 40 knights, I'm sure we should be able to find them before night falls."

Ha Joon smiled, but not once did he lift his head to look at them.

The moment Artoria got angry, Ha Joon already signaled Mordred to take over. Letting Artoria get into any type of battle was going to ruin his plans, he needed to avoid that by all means.

"You'd...do that?" Artoria asked to confirm.

And it was a logical response, she noticed Mordred had been softening up to her a bit, and now, she wants to help? It was a very rare moment.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" Mordred stood up from the chair, "I am a knight after all, and you are my king, is that a problem?".

Artoria shifted her gaze to Merlin and Ha Joon, and then looked back at Mordred.

Then she sighed.

"Just keep me updated." She finally spoke.

"Hai hai." Mordred walked out of the room, giving Belinda a side eye before she exited.
