"I am the king! You don't need to tell me what to do!"
King Uther has never been a person who likes to listen to other people's opinions. To put it bluntly, he is headstrong. This character is very bad, but in feudal society, most rulers have problems, which is not uncommon. And the key is, he is the boss, he
He just acted on his own will and no one dared to say anything.
At least Gaius didn't dare.
"Your Majesty, of course it is up to you to decide what to do."
King Uther stared at Gaius.
"You swore never to reveal the secret of Arthur's birth. I warn you not to break your oath."
"Verywell, Sire." (Yes, Your Majesty)
Gaius said disappointedly.
"Okay, Gaius. Stop talking. You go back first. I will have a good chat with Uther. You can go and rest. Things haven't reached that point yet." Don't look at King Uther who always has a serious face.
He looks expressionless, but in fact he is a very emotional person. Once angry, he will always do something that he will regret. Kai does not want the decades-old friendship between him and Gaius to have problems, so
He quickly interrupted and asked Gaius to leave first.
Gaius looked at King Uther who was still glaring at him, and nodded helplessly.
"Okay, I'm leaving first. Remember, don't touch the wound with water in the last two days. The wound will be healed in two days." After saying that, Gaius packed up his medicine box, turned around and left the king's bedroom.
After Gaius left, King Uther's originally angry expression also faded, and he sat down on the chair with a tired look.
Kai did not go to talk to King Uther immediately, but picked up the jug on the table and poured himself a glass of wine to moisten his throat.
King Uther did not speak, but kept rubbing his face, trying to calm himself down.
After about ten minutes, Kai finally spoke.
"I think Gaius is right. Uther Arthur should know some truth. You can't treat him like a child all the time." Kai actually supported Gaius, but King Uther was too excited just now.
, if he adds fuel to the fire, with King Uther's damn temper, he may really end up unhappy. That's very unnecessary, so Kai will wait for King Uther to calm down slowly before speaking out what's in his heart.
.
King Uther raised his head and looked at Kai in surprise. He did not expect that even his most trusted child would oppose him.
"Why do you even say that? Kai! Others don't know what impact it will have if the truth is announced. Don't you know? If others know the secret of Arthur's birth, then what I have done over the years
It’s become a joke! The whole of Camelot will be crumbling!”
Don't think that this is just a small matter. On the contrary, this matter is so big that King Uther would not want to reveal this secret even if he died. The most important thing King Uther has done in the past twenty years is to eliminate magic. For this reason, he
He did not hesitate to kill countless innocent people.
For example, if a wizard is discovered in a hotel, well, the entire hotel, from the owner to the waiter and the guests, will be arrested and killed! Another example is, if a person is found to be a wizard, then his neighbors will most likely also be arrested.
Catch me, because you have lived with wizards for such a long time and yet you didn’t report it. That’s a cover-up!
All in all, under King Uther's iron fist, there really shouldn't be too many unjust, false, and wrongful convictions. But because magic has indeed caused a lot of disasters, the people can only endure it. King Uther has the greatest justice on this point.
.
But if the secret of Arthur's birth was spread, everything would be different.
People don't care what King Uther thought at the beginning. They will simply think that when you, King Uther, kill people related to magic, you always prefer to kill the wrong ones, but why do you do this to your son?
Just be generous? Your son was also created by magic! He deserves to die!
In this way, King Uther's previous righteousness will be completely shattered!
And this is on the one hand, the people these days are not as powerful as later generations. If King Uther really abandons his moral integrity and insists on suppressing it with a large army, the people will have nothing to do. After all, he is a tyrant.
But there is a group of people who are not so easy to get rid of, and that is the entire aristocratic class.
The entire aristocracy of Camelot would follow Uther behind their waistbands and start a war against magic. That was because they believed King Uther's words and believed that magic had affected their rule of Camelot.
!
But now, they suddenly discovered that Arthur was actually born through magic! What did this make them think? The better ones would only think that Uther was unfair, while the really darker ones would consider what will happen after Arthur takes over.
Because strictly speaking, Arthur should be in the same group as those wizards. When Arthur comes to power, what will he do if he wants to avenge his weird friends?
And there is another very important reason, and that is power.
Once the legitimacy of Arthur's heir is destroyed, he will lose the right to inherit the throne, which will be huge good news for some careerists. What's more serious is that it will make many nobles who did not originally have this intention, also
It started to be unstable.
In short, the impact of this incident is very great, so great that it can cause the Pendragon family to lose their right to rule Camelot!
In this case, it would be a ghost if King Uther agreed!
Of course, this is not the most important thing. King Uther has been tough all his life. These are small things. It is great to fight another war. This is not a big deal for King Uther. I don’t know how many people were unwilling to fight with the weird and unpredictable
The wizards and magical creatures started a war, but King Uther was not as strong-willed. This kind of courage was nothing to him.
What really worried him was Arthur.
What would Arthur think if he learned the truth? How would he view his father?
And there are some things that really cannot be explored. The more you explore, the more things will get messed up!
Once Arthur's secret is exposed, many things starting from this may be dug up. For example, one of these things will involve another person, that is Morgana.
Morgana's side is even more difficult to deal with.
In any case, King Uther still had an excuse to explain to Arthur what happened back then.
But what about Morgana?
Here is a spoiler about Morgana’s life experience.
Morgana is the biological daughter of King Uther. I have mentioned it before, but few people know who Morgana’s mother is. To put it simply, Morgana’s mother is the lover of King Uther.
Before King Thor and Queen Igraine got married, they had a secret knot and gave birth to Morgana. And Morgana always thought that her biological father could only be regarded as a scapegoat...
This is not the key, the key is that Morgana's mother is a witch...
And he was killed by King Uther himself...
This matter would be very difficult. If Morgana knew about it, Uther killed her magic mother and kept hiding the fact that he was her biological father. This made her feel that she was adopted and under the care of others for many years. Uther
This was done just to vent his anger and preserve his reputation as king.
Putting these things together, it is reasonable for Morgana to cut King Uther into pieces.
The beginning of all this was the birth of Arthur, so King Uther could not and did not dare to let this matter be exposed, otherwise his family would be destroyed before his eyes.
