From all the servant I expected to summon, why is it her from all of the other servants?
Don't get me wrong, it's not like she's bad or anything. In terms of power scaling she's no less powerful than me, heck combat wise she got more experience than myself.
But my problem is that she has issues, but it's more of a personal problem than anything, if this was a normal situation I would love to be treated as her husband despite only the title and doesn't have anything romantic to it.
However, my situation is already complicated enough that I don't want to add more to it, that's why.
I would refuse to be treated as her husband and being her retainer is out of question.
There's two reason for that, first is that it's pride, I absolutely refuse to serve someone and even if I did, my sister would never allow it if she ever found out that someone like me, a direct descendant of Barthomeloi serving another.
And the second reason is Gilgamesh, if she were to find out that her husband-to-be was serving another monarch aside from her.
I wouldn't dare to imagine the consequences, even the best scenario if that ever happens is Morgan returning to the throne.
Now imagine the worst scenario.
Morgan stands no chance at all, especially when she's just a mere fragment of the real Morgan.
While Gilgamesh is very much alive and still has her full power, even as a servant she could still best Morgan easily.
So I laid out the truth of my relationship to her, lying would do no good here. I would rather settle this now before it's too late.
"That's why I can't be either, being your subject is a matter of pride to me and I refuse to bend to anyone's command, meanwhile being your husband would put us in danger, because of my relationship with another female monarch and she won't be happy if I ever become a husband of another monarch, but still we could still be partners." I stared at her, who was calmly drinking the high quality tea I served her.
And after taking a sip, she replied. "I see, I understand the situation."
I let out a sigh of relief, at least there won't be an in-fight amongst them that would happen in the future, but I was very naive.
While Morgan might be calm and chill, for the most part. It doesn't change the fact that she is and always will be a Berserker.
She has that madness for a reason.
"Very well, this isn't the first time I've fought for something. It is only right for a queen such as myself to claim what is mine, a little challenge won't stop me. Now, where is this woman monarch you speak of, I would like to challenge her for your hand and when I do, you will become my consort." Morgan said as if anything was making sense.
"Wait, wait, wait! Why did it escalate to that?! Are you even listening to what I said? She's very dangerous and don't even think of fighting her! You'll lose." It isn't even an exaggeration, she'd lose badly.
"Hmph! Well shall we see about that!" Morgan seemed to have made her mind up.

"Sighhhh~" I let out the biggest sigh I have in a while.
Sora, who noticed my reaction, couldn't help but ask. "What's with that sigh?"
I lazily stared back at him and said. "A complicated problem has arisen."
"Hmm? What kind of problem is it?" He asked curiously.
"About women." I truthfully revealed.
To which my friend looked at me with a deadpan look. "I wish I had that kind of problem."
"Trust me, you don't want this kind of problem. It's like being on the edge all of the time." A pretty accurate description.
"You make it sound dangerous, it can't be that bad." Sora said.
"Heh, not bad he says." I look at him with eyes filled with pity upon the ignorant.
"Oi, stop looking at me with that kind of look!" Sora became very uncomfortable with the way I looked at him.
I shook my head and let out a chuckle, then said. "It's a pity that you can never understand my problem since you have zero experience in dating or talking to girls in general, well maybe except for your sister, but that doesn't count."
Like an invisible knife stabbed him in the chest, he clutched his heart with a face filled with pain.
It was super effective, because it was the truth.
With a face that was almost too ugly to see, he glared at me and said. "Well excuse me for not having a handsome face!"
I raised a brow at the justification, it makes no sense, I'm not sure if he's aware but if he dresses himself properly he could be considered good looking.
Therefore it has nothing to do with looks, and it has to do with his introverted personality.
"I don't think that's the problem here."
"Pff- if you want to lie, you'll have to do better than this farce! It obviously has to do with appearance!" Sora exclaimed.
"No, I mean. It's not exactly wrong that appearance does matter, after all the first impression is important."
"See! Even you admit that looks matters! That's why dating is nothing but a distant dream to someone like that!" He said with a bitter look, his inferiority is rather unpleasant to look at.
Believing as if he was hopeless in the dating department, to be fair I was once in his shoes.
I'm not talking about this life, but my previous one. In this life I lack nothing, as I'm the very top of the social pyramid at birth.
But the problem isn't his appearance, it's his confidence. If he could get rid of that it won't be impossible for him to have a girlfriend or two.
But I don't recommend this path to him, it's riddled with baggage that I can't even fathom to understand.
As a friend I wouldn't want him to go this kind of path, however if he wanted to he can try.
"My friend, I don't think your appearance mattered in this conversation, as far as I'm aware you are good looking." I said seriously.
Sora, however, stared at me like I was the most disgusting thing in the universe. "Ew, dude are you gay?"
My face turned ugly and smiled with a threatening intent. "Maybe I should sell you to a local yakuza, I'm a bit short in cash right now, your internal organs should cost a bit of money."
Hearing that, he shivered after hearing that. "You're joking right?"
"Tell that one more time and you'll find out if I'm joking or not." There's a lot of things that offend me, but there's very few that could genuinely make me angry and that is questioning my sexuality.
My threat was effective as it shut him up, then I let out I sigh and said. "Look, I'm serious. You just need a bit of cleaning and confidence and you'll do good. In fact, if you do, I'll introduce you to a girl."
I recalled that I recently bought an idol agency and since I'm the new boss, dating was pretty much allowed but only in private.
For an idol, reputation is basically their lifeline and having a bad reputation is like cutting off their life support.
While most of the girls there aren't quite Ai's level of beauty and charisma, the idols that worked there are still at a district level beauties.
Girls that are the prettiest in their area in terms of appearance, not to mention their charisma and talents.
After all, not every beauty has a talent in becoming an idol.
Most of them knows how to read the room, basically leaders of the most popular group in their respective schools
Upon hearing my words, his eyes perked up and said rather excitedly. "Really?! You'll introduce me to someone?"
I nodded and replied, "That's right, but only if you clean up a bit, wait. Do you have plans later after school?"
Sora blinked a couple of times and answered. "Aside from gaming and investing in some stock markets, my sister and I don't have any plans at all."
"Hmm? Since when did you guys start investing in stocks? No, nevermind it's not important for now, since you guys are free, come with me this afternoon and I'll prove to you that appearance is the last thing you need and confidence is what you lack, unless of course your sister disagrees." I looked at Shiro who was staying silent all the time while her brother and I were having a conversation.
To be honest I'm not quite sure of their relationship in this world, in the LN that I know their relationship was inclined to a romantic light rather than the usual brother and sister relationship.
But considering they're essentially the reincarnated souls of lovers, it's not a surprise that their relationship is like that.
However, this and that are different.
Looking intently at Shiro, slowly she nodded indicating that she agrees, which means she's okay with her brother having a relationship with another girl.
There's no way she wasn't listening to our conversation, and that's more than I hoped for.
Here I thought their relationship was in the level of incest, but thankfully it isn't that far yet, but then again they aren't blood related so, I guess it's fine?
