This is not what Moran wanted to show off.
He was responding to the expectations of his subjects.
What the Blackmore family hoped for was to be led by the king; they longed to once again become a part of the magical army.
For this, they chose faith.
For this, they chose to uphold their duties for a thousand years.
Faced with such loyal subordinates and subjects, it is only natural for Moran, as the king, to bestow rewards.
If the subjects yearn for his glory.
Then, Moran would not be stingy enough to refuse to show himself; being clear about rewards and punishments is also his style.
Today, the Blackmore family trembled.
They welcomed the return of the king.
For the grave guardians who have upheld their faith for generations, this level of ecstasy is no less than that of church believers witnessing the resurrection of Jesus.
"I never expected… these grave guardians… would actually persist in their former mission… until now…"
"Do you feel like Einzbern?"
"Yeah! To serve a king like you, whether it's Einzbern or the Blackmore family, I think it's a blessing. Your light is our guiding beacon!"
Irisviel was quite emotional.
Thinking of the Blackmore family and Einzbern, as a member of the latter, she could understand the former's fervor.
At that time, when the homunculi welcomed Moran upon learning that the Third Magician had returned to the workshop, they were just as excited as the Blackmore family; their thousand-year wish had finally come true.
"However, seeing Moran like that, I also realized for the first time that you were once a great king…
By the way, this cave is really spacious…"
Irisviel walked through the passage of the cave, and she was now heading underground with Moran and the others.
After entering the Spirit Mountain, which was unsealed by the Blackmore family, they had been walking for almost half an hour.
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon."
As Moran led the women forward, he was also using magecraft to speed up their pace.
The Spirit Peak did not originally exist in Britain.
At least, it did not exist during Moran's lifetime; it emerged a thousand years after Moran's death.
The reason for its appearance is not complicated.
In the past, Moran and his wives passed away underground, and they offered everything as a sacrifice to Britain.
The purpose was to strengthen the magical foundation.
This result was undoubtedly achieved.
However, that energy was far too immense even for Britain.
With the overflow of energy.
The towering and magnificent Spirit Peak rose from the ground, like a tombstone offered by Britain Island to the King.
After almost half an hour had passed.
The group arrived at the depths of the underground.
During the latter half of the journey, Moran and Mordred maintained a silence that was different from before.
Irisviel and the Tohsaka sisters were also affected.
They did not know why the two were like this.
However, since entering the Spirit Peak cave, their souls had been under greater pressure than before.
"—We've arrived."
Upon hearing Moran say this, an incredible sea of flowers appeared before them, and the pressure that had been weighing on their hearts vanished.
A warm spring breeze enveloped them.
Irisviel and the Tohsaka sisters were captivated by the sea of flowers, while Moran and Mordred had complex expressions.
"Indeed… nothing was left behind…"
Moran observed the center of the sea of flowers.
He originally wanted to see if there were any relics from the past.
As a result, he saw not a single trace.
After thousands of years, he and his wife's remains had been completely absorbed by Britain. However, this was somewhat expected.
"Melusine…"
Moran arrived at another crystal coffin in the sea of flowers.
Melusine had chosen to watch over.
So, she had lived all the way to modern times, now resting inside the crystal coffin in front of Moran.
Crack—!!
Moran placed his hand on the stone coffin.
This coffin was entirely designed by Morgan, and he knew his wife's magical attire all too well.
A rumbling creaking sound emerged.
Once the coffin lid was completely moved aside, Melusine, who was sleeping inside, slightly trembled her eyelashes.
Soon, she opened her eyes and met Moran's gaze.
This was a reunion after a thousand years.
"Melusine, I'm back."
"Brother!"
The crystal coffin could be opened from both inside and outside.
Few people in the world could open it from the outside, and the moment it was opened, Melusine knew…
That her brother, whom she had been waiting for, had arrived.
Melusine leaped towards Moran and embraced him. There was no need for excessive words between siblings.
"Have you waited for me long…?"
"Um… not long… I spent most of the time sleeping… so… it's fine!"
Melusine rubbed her small face against Moran.
Like a little cat that hadn't seen its owner for a long time.
"Really, it's fine?"
"Hehe, I slept well in the morning, elegantly napped in the afternoon, and saved the intimate moments with my brother for later. I am Albion, a strong dragon… it's really fine~!"
Melusine's tone was full of vitality.
It was hard to tell that she had just awakened from slumber.
However, Moran was also Albion.
Although dragons could endure long periods through sleep, it didn't mean the process was easy.
Now, Melusine was so lively and cheerful.
Most likely, she didn't want the joy of reunion to be disrupted.
She still remembered that wish.
"I have always wanted to be the first in your heart, someone who cannot be replaced~!"
Recalling Melusine's words in his mind.
She was still practicing it now.
"Ah, I have always been proud of you. Melusine, you are the most beautiful dragon fairy on this island of Britain."
"Brother…!"
Upon hearing this, Melusine's delicate body trembled slightly.
Her amber-like beautiful eyes sparkled with phosphorescence, and just one sentence pierced her heart like an arrow.
Indeed, it was impossible to be entirely asleep.
Whenever Britain fell into unsolvable troubles, she would reappear in the world as Albion.
The reason people firmly believed that the first king was still alive was largely due to Melusine; the legends of Britain referred to Moran as Albion.
Whenever Melusine saved Britain, it was considered the protection of the first king.
Of course, Melusine was a loyal knight.
Being able to keep Moran in people's memories was one of her few joys over the millennia.
Even if her most beloved brother was not by her side,
She could still do meaningful things.
