Cavall's POV

I pushed the door of the Magical research lab open and headed up the long stone stairs. I was here to speak with Merlin about some issues.

"Hello?" I opened the door "Uhh?"

"Oh hello Cavall." Merlin smiled.

Merlin was in a bathtub full of soap suds having her feet washed by Escanor.

"What is going on here?" I sighed "Don't push the guy around like that Mistress."

"It's fine." Escanor smiled.

"Whatever." I sighed "Can you give us a minute."

"Oh of course." He said scampering out.

"So how can I help you?" Merlin stepped out, her body instantly wrapped in clothes.

"We have some things to discuss." I said.

"About what?" she hummed walking towards a shelf, and looking for a book.

I followed after her, hands in my pockets "I met my parents."

Merlin's hand stopped for a brief moment before continuing to look at the books "I see, congratulations, did you come across them on your trip with the Princess?"

"Yeah, they seemed nice I learned a lot about them and myself." I looked over while leaning on the walled "A lot of…interesting things.'

"Really now." She looked back at me.

"I also had a very informative talk with Master." I growled a bit "Learned a lot there too."

"Get to the point Cavall." She said.

"Did you know what they were, my parents?" I asked.

"What would make you think that?" she asked not looking back.

"Master said as much." I looked at her intently "Why…why did you hide that from me?"

She stopped looking for her book, and turned to me "You had no reason to know."

"No reason?!" I yelled "They're my parents!"

"And they're monsters!" she snapped back "I don't care what line they fed you those two are evil!"

"I still deserved to know how they were!" I yelled "I can't believe you'd lie to me like this!"

"You…don't understand." She sighed "I…did what I had to do."

"Always sitting up on your high horse, scheming and sneaking, you never tell anyone what they need when they need it." I walked out "You're just like him."


Later

"Cavall, what's wrong?" Guila walked over.

"Nothing." I sighed as she sat next to me, leaning her head on my shoulder.

"You're a terrible liar." She giggled.

"I'm just annoyed, Master, Mistress Merlin." I frowned "It feels like everyone is lying to me all the time anymore, keeping secrets I should know."

"I know the feeling, it was like that when I tried to learn what happened to my father." She frowned.

"It's just, who I am, what I am, what my parents are…" I frowned "Don't they think I deserve to know about them."

"I know." She held my hand and rubbed my thigh.

"I feel like you're the only one I can trust." I kissed her "You won't keep any secrets from me Guila."

"…yes." She smiled "I would never hide something like that from you."
