CK Simulation, Creating the Style of Tsukino Fumi

Morgan decides to name your first child with her "Gawain," and you have no objections. Until one day at noon, just after you finished dealing with some official business, Morgan approaches you.

"I feel like something's wrong with Gawain."

Quinn immediately stopped Morgan from continuing after hearing his first words as he suddenly entered the court administration office. He then got up and closed the door, leaving himself alone with Morgan in the room before asking, "What's wrong with Gawain?"

“This child is growing too fast. I just checked him with magic and found that Gawain has some kind of special blessing. I think…” Morgan was extremely anxious. She went straight to Quinn, grabbed her lover’s hand and pressed it to her abdomen. “He will be born in a few days.”

Quinn remained silent, looking at Morgan's belly, which had already developed a noticeable curve, resembling that of someone more than three months pregnant, unsure of what to say.

Because in the official Type-Moon canon, Morgan's children were not born naturally, but were deliberately created by her to retaliate against her sister for inheriting the throne.

The most representative example is that he will later personally kill Alto.

Chapter 32

Mordred, Leah's son, was essentially a homunculus created using King Arthur's bloodline. Whether the total time from birth to death could be considered adulthood is still unknown. The other sons of Morgan are in similar situations.

To be honest, Quinn was somewhat surprised by Gawain's special protection and astonishing growth rate, but not to the point of panic. In fact, he thought it was a good thing. If Gawain were like a normal child and needed more than ten years to grow and learn, Quinn would have a headache.

After all, Gawain was one of the Knights of the Round Table, a knight in Type-Moon history who would accompany King Arthur to challenge Vortigern, and played a significant role in resisting the Saxon invasion.

If such a person were missing, Quinn would have to find a replacement, but now, Gawain has been different from ordinary people since birth, which saves Quinn from this trouble.

"Is the blessing on Gawain benign or malignant?" Quinn held Morgan in his arms, gently stroking his lover's abdomen, feeling the strong magic emanating from it, and comforting the somewhat worried princess.

“Benign should be some kind of divine blessing, but this shouldn’t be. The mystery of the British Isles is waning, and such a child should not be born. I was originally planning to personally bless Gawain after his birth…” Morgan’s emotions gradually stabilized under Quinn’s reassurance.

"Isn't this a good thing? The child was born with a blessing that only the divine age possesses. Doesn't this prove that our union is recognized? Even the world itself is willing to give us extra congratulations. Don't forget, you said you hoped this child would have the strongest physique in the world. Isn't this exactly what you wanted? Instead of worrying about where this blessing comes from, why not consider the issues after the child is born?"

Morgan was no longer worried. Yes, not long ago he had hoped that his first child would have the strongest body in the world and become a great hero. How come he was getting impatient now that his wish had been fulfilled?

After his worries dissipated, Morgan regained his usual composure and began to banter with Quinn, "What's the problem? Gawain is my child, who else can disagree?"

"For example, his education?"

Quinn's words silenced Morgan.

She had completely forgotten about this. She had originally planned to have Quinn take care of the child. After all, once the child was born and grew up normally, Quinn should be able to become a skilled knight. At that time, she would be responsible for teaching the child etiquette, and Quinn would teach the child swordsmanship. It would be the perfect family education, and it would surely make Gawain a hero who could stand on his own.

But now, Gao Wen's growth rate is abnormal. It is likely that he will grow up in less than a year. The original education and training plan will definitely be impossible, and a guardian will have to be found for Gao Wen.

In an instant, several candidates qualified to educate the prince flashed through her mind, but she rejected them one by one.

Quinn, noticing Morgan clearly deep in thought, finally offered a suggestion, "How about we let Attorney lead it..."

“No!” Morgan glared at Quinn. “I’ve already made up my mind. Since Gawain isn’t a mortal, there’s no need for a mortal to teach him.”

"You won't let mortals teach? Then who will you turn to?"

Quinn blinked. There were actually reclusive masters in this land of Britain whom he didn't know about.

“I can contact some fairies, and one named Bagst would be very suitable,” Morgan stated his decision.

Quinn gasped, looking at his unborn child. He couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for Gawain's future. But... this was really a good choice. Why hadn't he thought of asking fairies to look after the child? As long as those fairies weren't allowed to interfere with humanities education, they could definitely produce a hero with every teaching. Lancelot, who was still in Camelot, was the best product spokesperson.

You agreed to Morgan's decision, but stipulated that the fairy should not interfere with Gawain's etiquette and moral education. Morgan agreed, and she began to contact a guardian for Gawain.

A few days later, Gawain was born.

A new legendary knight has emerged in the Kingdom of Camelot. Since Gawain is your son, he is automatically considered your vassal.

[You have your first offspring, thus beginning a new legendary event chain. Please have a child with Morgan that conforms to the legend of King Arthur. When Mordred is born, you will gain the trait "Father of the Round Table".]

[Father of the Round Table: Your offspring form half of the round table, which is now in your hands. When you call upon them, wherever you are, your offspring will always respond.]

After Gawain's birth, Morgan used magic to have the Camelots conceal his extraordinary condition. People thought Gawain's growth was normal, and you were extremely pleased to see him grow so quickly. You immediately arranged a luxurious single room for Gawain so that he could have his own private space, and prepared a variety of books to start your child's preschool education.

[Under your arrangement, before the fairy Morgan contacted even arrived, Gawain, who was less than a week old, began to enjoy a mysterious education from the East. You had no worries about whether he had the mental capacity to accept this kind of education. In your view, such a naturally extraordinary child should live an extraordinary life. Only by enduring hardship can one enjoy even greater hardships in the future.]

As a result, Gawain, who was born with an astonishingly rapid growth rate, began to smile less frequently just two weeks after his birth.

Morgan smiled broadly because her life hadn't changed at all since Gawain's birth. Thanks to your arrangements, Gawain had never slept with you, so it hadn't affected your enjoyable nightlife. On the contrary, Morgan was becoming increasingly enthusiastic about it. She felt blessed and living the best life in the world. If there was any flaw, it was that she and you didn't have enough children.

[You are happy to fulfill Morgan's regret and eager to complete the chain of events as soon as possible. Every day you will water the noblest vessel of Britain to overflowing, in order to contribute to the future of Britain. Every mark on the princess is a manifestation of your wholehearted love. It will not be long before your second child is born.]

However, as you embraced Morgan, exhausted from the pleasure of the night, there was a sudden knock on your door. You sensed something was amiss; at this hour, no one in Camelot Palace would dare disturb you. Cautiously, you put on your clothes, picked up your sword, and opened the door.

"Father……"

A blond boy who looked about three or four years old stood timidly in the doorway.

"Gawain?" Quinn looked at the child who had suddenly appeared at the door, somewhat puzzled. He sheathed his sword, gently closed the door behind him, took Gawain's hand, and started walking towards the large private room prepared for him. "Why did you suddenly come to see me so late?"

Gawain, being led along, didn't resist, but he didn't respond immediately either. Quinn glanced at Gawain's face and noticed a hint of panic on the boy's face. He realized that Gawain might have had a nightmare. After all, he himself had nightmares occasionally when he was a child, and then he was too scared to sleep all night. Now it seemed that even the future Knights of the Round Table couldn't avoid this hurdle.

Quinn felt a sense of satisfaction. He wasn't in a hurry for Gawain to reply, but simply led him on a walk down the corridor, waiting for Gawain to recover from his fear.

Fortunately, Gao Wen spoke up not long after they left, "Father, I just had a nightmare."

"What did you dream about? Tell me about it."

“He was a handsome, fair-skinned older brother who suddenly threw me off a tall tower and told me to come find you, saying he had something to tell you.”

Quinn's gentle expression vanished. Even though Gawain hadn't mentioned the boy's name, he knew the blame for keeping the child awake.

Chapter 33

Who is the culprit?

Chapter Thirty-One: Why Did You Defect to the Enemy?!

Tall tower, white-clad big brother, objects thrown from a high-rise building...

Among all the people in Britain who meet these criteria, Quinn can only think of one person—no, a beast.

Merlin, the court magician of the late King Uther, a half-human, half-sleep demon hybrid, a candidate for the Grand Order, and the mastermind behind the creation of the legendary story of King Arthur.

As Quinn listened to Gawain's description, a surge of anger rose within him. He had known all along that Merlin had returned to Camelot.

Regardless of whether his simulator popped up an event notification, Quinn knew that the impact he had on Camelot would inevitably attract the appearance of this half-sleep demon. He had anticipated that the other party would privately approach Artoria to persuade her to stay away from him, and he had also thought that the other party would come looking for him, but he never expected that this beast would come looking for Gawain.

To be honest, although he had interfered with Artoria's future fate, he had never posed any threat to her life, and naturally had no enmity with Merlin. When Quinn put himself in Merlin's shoes to think about how to cause trouble for him, he never thought that he would directly target the child. After all, he was a person with a moral bottom line.

But now...

That beast is indeed a beast! How dare he have it!

Quinn suppressed the surging anger within him, trying to sound calm and collected, but anyone could tell from his words that he was burning with rage. "What did that big brother say to you?"

Gawain wasn't frightened by Quinn's angry words; on the contrary, he felt exceptionally at ease. His extraordinary growth rate hadn't made his mind like that of a newborn child. Under Quinn's carefully arranged guidance, Gawain's mind was far more mature than that of a three- or four-year-old. He already understood that his father's anger wasn't directed only at him.

“He told me not to study with the teacher my mother found for me, and that I should tell my father that my mother could never become Queen Camelot, and that he should persuade her to give up as soon as possible,” Gawain said, his tone initially angry, then turning aggrieved. “I told him he was talking nonsense, and then he suddenly picked me up and threw me off the tower. I was in the air for several minutes before I woke up in shock…”

Quinn's forehead veins bulged. "Any more?"

Xiao Gaowen obediently shook his head.

Don't be angry, don't scare the child... Quinn kept repeating to himself, finally suppressing his anger. He took little Gawain back to his bedroom, checked Gawain over thoroughly, and only after confirming that the nightmare hadn't had any real impact on him did Quinn breathe a sigh of relief and patiently begin to coax him to sleep.

Gawain, who rarely gets to enjoy his father's affection, quickly calmed down. His childlike nature immediately came to the fore, and within two minutes, he began to snore softly. Quinn stayed in the same spot for a few more minutes to make sure that Gawain was really asleep before carefully leaving Gawain's room.

The palace guards on patrol spotted Quinn and were about to greet him when they saw his grim face. They were immediately too frightened to utter a sound, pretending not to have seen the Prime Minister. They deliberately lowered their footsteps, afraid of attracting Quinn's attention, and let him wander alone through the palace corridors until he was far away. Only then did they dare to whisper among themselves about who had angered the Prime Minister.

But their whispers had already reached Quinn's ears.

Since learning martial arts from Lancelot, Quinn's physical abilities have far surpassed those of people in this era and are gradually approaching those of people in the past. He can easily hear other people's coded messages and can clearly see things hundreds of meters away. He is no longer the magician apprentice who could only learn alchemy from Director Ken and try to get by with his graduation project. He has upgraded and evolved.

His magician skills came from the most dangerous magician in British history, and his martial arts skills came from the strongest knight of the era. Even though he had only studied for a short time and had not yet graduated, he was already far superior to others.

Quinn couldn't help but glance at the system's current evaluation of him.

Character: Quinn Europa

Religion: Catholicism

Culture: Greece

Clan: Europa

Diplomacy: 14 (9+3+2)

Military: 7

Management: 17 (15+2)

Strategy: 20 (18+2)

Knowledge: 13

Bravery Value: 20

Personal traits:

Alluring Beauty: Diplomacy +3, Fertility +30%, Favorability Attraction +30

Pureblood: Fertility +10%, XX reproduction probability -50%

Enemy of the White Dragon: Gain 5 points of Valor when fighting against dragons.

Palace Minister: Diplomacy, Management, Strategy +2

Quinn's gaze was fixed on his own Valor stat. Compared to when he first started the simulator, his Valor stat had increased by 5 points. This number didn't seem high, but based on what Quinn had seen in this era, he roughly estimated that he had reached a level where he could hold his own against third-rate Servants. If those third-rate Servants didn't have any powerful Noble Phantasms, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat him.

This level of combat power is undoubtedly beyond the scope of an ordinary magician apprentice from the future, but it is still too weak for Quinn in his current state.

Quinn regretted that his previous actions were too inefficient. If he had been more efficient, he might have been able to speed up his learning progress with Morgan. Quinn did not expect to be able to use fairy magic to turn mortal objects into treasures like Morgan. As long as he could communicate with fairies and summon some fairies as his familiars, it would be enough to raise his bravery to another level.

"Sigh, I'm still too lazy." Quinn reached out and slapped his face hard to wake himself up. "Sure enough, once you start living a good life, you forget the hardships you suffered at the beginning. It's all human nature that has made me so pathetic, being bullied by a beast."

He muttered to himself, trying to regroup, much like the young Fengxian who had been hurt by wine and women in the past. But fortunately, the young Fengxian was in a difficult situation and had no way to save himself, while he had plenty of help.

Quinn adjusted his mindset and looked at the mission contract he had received from Morgan at the beginning of his transmigration.

[“Build an Army”: Within three years, build an army of at least 500 men for Morgan and recruit a knight with a bravery stat of at least 25.]

[Reward: 500 Gold Coins, +1 Trait Point]

You have completed the contract. Would you like to submit it and claim your reward?

Not long ago, when he expanded his armored paladins to 600 men, the contract was already completed. But at that time, he had already secured a ticket to Valhalla and was preoccupied with living a good life with Morgan, so he had put the matter out of his mind. Now that he has come to his senses again, it is time to make good use of the gold coins that Morgan initially gave him.

[You have claimed the reward and now possess 1 trait point.]

A list of traits, consisting of numerous and complex characteristics, appeared before Quinn's eyes. A few days ago, he would have pondered it carefully, but now, he had only one goal.
