Walking to the ancestral hall next to the palace, King Uther looked at the statues of the past kings, and for the first time he calmly thought about the gains and losses of his life. He began to recall every bit of his life as a king, and he began to reflect on whether he
Did you really do something wrong?
The matter is obviously related to the war twenty years ago. If it weren't for that war, would Nivi have released Seren at all costs for revenge?
Thinking this way, King Uther kept thinking back to his original intention of doing all this, in order to avenge his wife.
Maybe it's a little wrong...
But! King Uther thought that he was indeed a little extreme on this point, but he was not wrong in other aspects! Shouldn't the wizard be defeated?!
Damn! Their existence caused the kingdom to lose its dignity, the people to lose their safety, and everyone to live in fear. In that era, everyone was just a pawn of the wizard. For their own selfishness, they created countless inhumane tragedies.
, they always release their desires as they please and never care about the suffering of the people.
The wizard must be defeated!
You are right!
King Uther is a stubborn king. Even if destruction is right in front of him, he will never admit his mistakes, never!
"Everyone who knows how to use a sword has gone to get weapons." At this time, Leon, King Uther's most trusted knight, walked in from outside, holding King Uther's armor in his hand. King Uther was injured before, and the armor was taken off. Now,
The king was about to step onto the battlefield again, and Leon had to put on armor for the king. But when Leon came in, he found King Uther motionless, looking at the statues of the previous kings.
"Your Majesty?" Leon asked respectfully.
I wonder if Leon really woke up King Uther. King Uther looked at the statue of his ancestor and asked leisurely: "Who am I? Leon."
Leon was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are our king, Your Majesty."
"Then do you trust your king?" King Uther continued to ask.
Leon didn't understand why King Uther asked so, but he still answered honestly according to his own habits.
While putting on the breastplate for King Uther, he said: "Whether you live or die, my Majesty, your soldiers and knights will follow you and fight until the end."
King Uther didn't know what he was thinking, he just mechanically opened his arms and asked Leon to put on the breastplate.
"Regardless of life or death..."
King Uther said with a bit of self-deprecation.
"Where are the sturdy soldiers and knights of Camelot? Where is the horn of victory?" King Uther never thought that one day, his kingdom would be in such embarrassment, and the outer city would be conquered by the barbaric Senno, whom he had always despised.
The Germans broke through, and his magnificent royal city was ravaged by those filthy monsters, but he could only watch helplessly.
"They are like raindrops falling on the mountains, or the breeze blowing across the grassland. They have long since disappeared. The glory of the past is like the sun setting in the west, disappearing safely behind the mountains, shrouded in darkness... How could it become like this? Lyon...
Tell me why it's like this..."
Leon didn't answer because he didn't know how to answer. He was not known for his intelligence and wisdom. He was a knight and just a knight. He didn't know what the problem was, and he didn't even think there was a problem. Carmelo
Under the leadership of King Uther, the country's strength is getting stronger year by year, and their kingdom is the most peaceful and prosperous among the countries. Although King Uther is a bit neurotic when it comes to dealing with wizards, the people's lives have always been
Everything is passable, even getting better.
Under this situation, Leon couldn't figure out why his kingdom was in such a situation.
King Uther didn't expect to get an answer from Leon. Maybe Kai could answer his question. He was always so calm and wise...wait...Kai...
Thinking of Kai, King Uther's mood became even more complicated. He never knew what abilities Kai had, and he didn't know why Kai would hide his power and return to him. To say that Kai had ill intentions towards him and Arthur?
King Uther didn't believe it. Although this kind of judgment based entirely on emotion seemed to the king to be the stupidest approach, King Uther still didn't believe that Kai would hurt him and Arthur.
He always believed that Kai was a good boy. He and the queen had raised Kai. He knew exactly what kind of character this child had. And Kai had proven himself time and time again. If he really wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago.
. Even he didn’t need to do anything. He could get everything by just standing by and watching. But how did he do it?
He always went out of his way to help Arthur and him time and time again. King Uther really couldn't think of any ill intentions from Kai.
"Why do you have to learn those things... Kai, I shouldn't have let you leave my side back then!" King Uther's true feelings about Kai having magic were not fear or fear, but anger and worry.
The anger was not directed at Kai, he was directed at himself. He felt that Kai's "bad study" was due to himself. If Kai hadn't run away back then, he wouldn't have studied these messy things outside!
Although King Uther doesn't know what it means to be a son who doesn't teach his father, the truth is the same. If he had kept Kai by his side back then, there wouldn't have been so many messy things!
As for worries, he was worried about how to deal with the aftermath. Of course, it was a bit early to think about so much now. If he burped and finished playing Camelot, there would naturally be nothing left to think about.
But what if they survive this disaster?
So how to solve this problem?
Kai's magic skills cannot be hidden, so many people are watching. For Kai's future, he must find a way to minimize the impact of this matter.
What? You said King Uther will turn against Kai because of this?
Don't be ridiculous!
King Uther is a king, not an idiot! (Although he is the most idiotic in the play)
He opposed magic for two reasons. One was that magic harmed his interests as a king, and the other was that magic killed his wife!
See, the focus is not on magic, but on the harm to his interests and the death of his wife. The reason why he pursued magic fiercely afterwards is also very simple, because he has already interacted with magic users such as wizards.
The hatred between the two is so deep that it's basically a matter of life and death.
He must do this.
But the question is, does Kai have these factors?
The answer is no.
Did Kay harm his interests? No.
Did Kai kill his relatives? No, Kai himself was his relative.
Does Kai have any grudge against him? That is even more nonsense.
So, why did he turn against Kai? Someone said, if this is the case, then why does Merlin still hide? He is similar to Kai in the above three points, except that he is not a relative of King Uther.
That's because Merlin lacks the most important thing, which is that King Uther doesn't trust Merlin at all! In other words, why should King Uther trust Merlin? Why should he risk his own life that Merlin will not harm him? Killing Merlin is not
Is there a safer and more affordable approach?
The most important thing is trust. For example, Gaius can also do magic. Because King Uther believes that Gaius will not betray him, Gaius lives well.
In short, although Kai made King Uther's position very embarrassing, King Uther himself didn't care much. What he cared about was the impact after this incident. Just like Merlin, others trusted Merlin to do anything without King Uther.
trust.
King Uther trusts Kai, but that does not mean that others also trust Kai. The war that year generated too much hatred. Not only King Uther was wary of revenge from those related to magic, but other kings and nobles were also on guard.
If they learn that Kai can do magic, things will be bad.
King Uther's head hurt when he thought of this. But King Uther immediately threw the matter aside. Life or death was not certain now. How could he have time to think about all this?
