Asher arrived at the palace hall but didn't see Scáthach's figure, so he turned his head and looked at the guard at the door in confusion.
"Where did my Shishou go?"
"Lord Scáthach said that if you came over later, I should tell you she took Princess Uathach to the nearby mountain peak and asked you to wait here for a while, or go back to your room to rest first."
The surroundings of the Land of Shadows were all natural barriers, and this was no exaggeration. The area was also rich in various resources. After all, it wasn't far from the city gate to the forest, and the nearby water sources were abundant, so food and drink were no problem.
The only concern, monster invasions, was kept in check by the Queen of the Land of Shadows herself.
Asher nodded slightly to the guard. "Thank you, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the hall.
The guard at the door watched the young man leave and couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.
In less than four months, this disciple taken in by Scáthach had a completely different aura than before.
Lord Scáthach's teachings were part of it, but more important was Asher's hard work… and talent.
Sure enough, the guard had seen his ability early on when deciding to keep this boy.
Asher had no idea what the guard was thinking. He unknowingly walked out of the city gate and turned his head toward the towering mountain peak nearby.
If he wasn't mistaken, that was where Shishou and the others had gone.
Hazy mist veiled the mountain peak, and strange creatures roared from time to time.
He observed the mountain peak in front of him. Though he had lived here for more than five years, he had never ventured into the dangerous nearby areas.
Reaching the top of the mountain wasn't difficult, but the monsters there were truly dangerous.
He wondered what Shishou was doing, taking Uathach specifically to the top of the mountain.
Should I go up and find them...? Asher thought.
No, the mountain top was vast. Even if he climbed up, he might not find them—and could encounter danger himself.
He should go back first.
Thinking this, Asher turned to return to the castle to rest in his room.
At that moment, a greeting came from nearby.
"Ash, are you here to pick us up?!"
Asher turned and saw Uathach raising her fair little hand in a wave. Scáthach walked beside her, wearing a purple slit long dress, slender legs wrapped in semi-transparent purple stockings, her high heels clicking on the ground as she approached.
Asher's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Scáthach until he caught his Shishou's red eyes fixed on him. He then pretended not to notice and shifted his gaze away.
Recalling last night, Asher felt a little guilty.
He had secretly said something that could be interpreted as a "hint," and he wasn't sure if Shishou noticed.
Probably not, right...? Someone like Shishou would focus on battle and wouldn't pay much attention to such things, otherwise her relationship with Aife wouldn't be so strained.
Thinking this, Asher felt somewhat relieved and raised his hand. "Shishou, I was just planning to look for you."
"If you had come looking for us just now, Mom and I would have had to come save you," Uathach patted Asher's shoulder. "Let's go back. I'll make you something delicious later."
"Huh?" Asher was stunned and looked at Scáthach in confusion.
"Your sister said you've been training too hard recently, so she wants to make you a good meal and asked me to help hunt monsters," Scáthach said, pointing to the tiger with a spotted tail being dragged by a subordinate behind her.
"Why catch such a big monster?" Asher asked, astonished.
"We need to do more experiments to succeed!" Uathach said matter-of-factly.
"It sounds less like cooking and more like a terrifying experiment…" Asher retorted, casually plucking a small blade of grass from Uathach's head.
Without thinking, he knew Uathach must have been lying in ambush in the grass for some time to catch this monster.
"Shishou, are you really comfortable letting Big Sister Uathach cook by herself?" Asher asked Scáthach.
"Mom definitely trusts me to take her hunting, right, Mom?" Uathach looked up expectantly.
Scáthach glanced at Uathach and remained silent.
"Silent silence at this moment says a lot…" Asher silently added.
Uathach had tried cooking several times before, but all attempts failed miserably. Without a doubt, she was hopeless in the kitchen.
"Then you come and do it with me," Uathach grabbed Asher's arm and shook it. "I'll give you a chance to help your older sister!"
"I don't want to, I'm not interested," Asher refused.
"If it's done well, it's your credit. If it's done poorly, you'll say I'm holding you back… thankless, really."
"This food is for you. What's wrong with helping a bit?" Uathach complained.
"Sorry, I don't mind skipping this kind of thing," Asher shook his head.
"Please, just help out a bit... Mom also wants to try it…"
Seeing Uathach's moist eyes and the softness in how she gently tugged his arm, Asher finally sighed in compromise.
"We can't waste a monster specifically caught… I'll reluctantly help a bit."
"Really?!" Uathach's eyes lit up.
"Mm," Asher nodded.
After several guards dragged the huge monster into the city gate behind them, the siblings began preparing dinner.
---
After a short while, Uathach was ruthlessly kicked out by Asher.
The reason was simple: Uathach was mostly just in the way, and Asher worked more efficiently alone.
When he arrived at the palace hall, Uathach walked to Scáthach, resting on the throne, and sat beside her, sighing helplessly. "As expected, my cooking skills still aren't good enough."
"You planned to have him cook from the start, didn't you?" Scáthach glanced at her daughter, clearly seeing through her thoughts.
"Ehehe… was I found out?" A cunning smile appeared on Uathach's face.
"He probably noticed too, but he still helped," Scáthach said.
"That's not right, Mom," Uathach shook her head. "He helped because of you, not me…"
If not for that last sentence, Asher might never have helped.
"Ash really likes you," Uathach said quietly.
Scáthach's expression remained calm. "I am his Shishou; it's natural he likes me. Doesn't he also like you, his older sister?"
Uathach gazed at her mother for a moment, then smiled faintly. "You're right."
"How long are you going to hide there?"
Before Uathach could continue, Scáthach's voice interrupted her.
Uathach was stunned and looked toward her mother.
A crow hid behind a stone pillar, only showing a bit of black feathers.
"Oh dear, have I been found out?" A gentle voice echoed through the hall. Immediately afterward, the crow transformed into a woman with a graceful figure.
Morgan le Fay casually tossed her golden hair over her shoulder, stretched lazily, looked at Asher who had just entered the hall, and winked charmingly.
"May I join you for dinner?"
