She had been talking with Emiya Shirou that afternoon, munching down an entire watermelon as they sat on the veranda, enjoying the summer sun. The other girls were playing around the inflatable swimming pool, splashing water and firing toy guns, while Kairi raised the garden hose to add more fun.
"Say," Mordred started, she realized she never really did make a friendly conversation with the redhead. She decided, It's now or never. "How can Father accept you with these bunch of girls hanging around?"
Shirou gave her a weird look. "Umm…what?"
"You see, Father has a very poor luck in choosing a partner," she rested against the sliding door. "Merlin said that, anyway. Not me. I just happened to pass them while Father's chatting with him."
Mouth hung open, Shirou was totally speechless.
"His own sister - my mother - fuck him and that Guinevere whore cheated on him, ya' know. I mean I betrayed her at one point too, but at least I didn't have an affair or something like that." She took another slice of watermelon before continuing, "And that Lancelot- damn, that hell of a 'best friend' got the balls to actually betray the whole Camelot! Can you imagine that? A kingdom full of scandal, and Father's still willing to rule it. Isn't he cool?"
"Y-Yes…?" Shirou awkwardly agreed.
"Man, I wish I could just take the freaking throne and put Father to pension so he could take a vacation or two," Mordred added. "But he wouldn't listen."
"Y-Yeah."
Abandoning the thought whether she should call him Father's boyfriend or girlfriend, she suddenly suggested,"As his lover, you should take Father to one. He deserves it: a good vacation and a loyal lover. So, don't you dare cheat on him or I'll cut your-"
"I would never," Shirou stopped her. "She's the only girl I'll ever have my eyes on."
Despite his sincere respond, Mordred laughed. "That's cheap!" she teased.
"I'm dead serious. You can trust me on this."
To that, a sense of relief oddly washed over her and Mordred couldn't help but smile. Perhaps Father finally get what he deserves.
