The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 39 Canonization (please collect, please recommend)

King Uther didn't understand what Kai said, but like all parents, he was a little bit resistant to subdue his children. This kind of behavior is very common.

In many cases, even if parents know that what they did is wrong, they are still more willing to cover it up with a tough attitude, rather than apologize to their children, as if doing so would damage the dignity of their parents.

This is especially true for King Uther. His arrogance really makes it difficult for him to succumb to anyone, especially since he doesn't feel that he is wrong. Instead, he feels that Morgana and Arthur cannot understand his painstaking efforts.

So Kay had to be the peacemaker.

It's not like Morgana and the others don't know what's good or bad. When Kay explained King Uther's painstaking efforts to them, Morgana and Arthur also understood how much the justice they thought was a blow to King Uther. I want to protect them and don't want them to be exposed to danger, but what about them?But they uphold their own justice, and they cheated and hurt King Uther with peace of mind, and even made their own claims to attribute all this to King Uther's fault.

This kind of thinking is not only irresponsible, but also appears to be revenge.

After understanding this, although Morgana still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with letting go of a child, they did make a mistake to King Uther.They shouldn't see and treat their father that way.

In this way, under Kai's mediation, the relationship between father and daughter and between father and son was greatly eased.

……

Just when the royal family was enjoying themselves, the former enemies of Camelot were unwilling to be lonely and returned here again.

A witch came to Camelot under the cover of the night. Looking at the still prosperous Camelot, she could no longer contain the anger in her heart.

"It's time to pay, Uther!"

……

After Kai's return, an important ceremony that had been prepared for a long time can finally be carried out!
The canonization ceremony of the prince!
Canonize the prince?Canonize who?Kay?Isn't Kay an adopted son?
of course not.

The canonization here refers to Arthur. In the Celtic Kingdom, "Prince" is just a title, not an official title (title), so the prince will definitely have an official title after he becomes an adult.For example, Kai is a prince. When King Uther adopted Kai as his adopted son, he was a prince.Arthur is even more, this does not need to be formally canonized.

What really needs to be canonized is the title!For example, Kai, he is a prince, but his title is a knight, which means that Kai has his own territory.Princes must have titles, otherwise they will not have a formal official status. This is also an opportunity for the heir to the throne to start forming his own team.It is also the ceremony that formally establishes the heir.

For example, the eldest son of later British monarchs will be named "Duke of Cornwall", and the second son will be named "Duke of York".Theoretically, the eldest son of the monarch is the heir to the throne, but there is no such title as "Dragon Prince" in the UK, and the title of the heir to the throne is "Prince of Wales".But in addition, the monarch generally does not have only one son, so other princes are also knighted.

Arthur was already an adult, and the canonization should have been held long ago.But at that time, Arthur was the only male heir under King Uther's knees, so there was no need to worry, so he kept procrastinating, but it was different now. Kai's return made it necessary to establish the heir to the throne as soon as possible.

Don't forget, Kai also has the right to inherit the throne.Plus Kai's reputation and abilities are impeccable.If King Uther dragged Arthur's canonization ceremony, it would destabilize the kingdom's foundations.In a feudal society, the right of inheritance was more important than anything else.

The knights need to know who they will be loyal to, otherwise it is very likely that the kingdom will be divided due to unclear heirs.

Although King Uther was very reassured about Kai, but this kind of thing should not be taken on a whim.This is not even based on King Uther's own will. During the two months since Kay came back, many nobles have been obliquely admonishing King Uther to establish an heir as soon as possible.

To put it simply, the canonization of Arthur is related to the stability of the entire kingdom, and it is not King Uther's turn to act emotionally.

……

On the third night after Kai came back, the canonization ceremony was officially held.

On this day, almost all the nobles of Camelot came to the palace. Their arrival was not just as simple as eating and drinking at the ceremony. It was also a very important political occasion. Lot's undisputed heir takes an oath of fealty, followed by an important social event within the kingdom.

In this era of very low productivity, it is not easy for the nobles of the kingdom to gather together.Although they are all in the same kingdom, the distance between everyone is still quite far. There are no roads or cars here, and the roads are full of barbarians, robbers, beasts and monsters. The cost of communication is too high.

If you want to gather the nobles of the entire kingdom, it is usually some very important occasions, such as the king's wedding, the king's enthronement, the king's death, and the canonization of the prince.

Today, Kai's elder brother and sister-in-law came. They came from the family territory together with Kai. Before Kai received Morgana's messenger, he left the main force and rushed to Camelot ahead of time. They came back after Kai Camelot arrived the next day.

Originally, Kay's father should have been there in person on this occasion, but unfortunately, Sir Eckert's old waist could no longer support him to come to Camelot all the way, and Sir Eckert was older than him. King Uther is slightly older, and he was seriously injured on the battlefield before, so his physical condition is much worse than that of King Uther.

Faced with the absence of his old friend, King Uther was disappointed for a long time. He hadn't seen Eckert for two years.He understood that as time went on, the chances of them seeing each other would become less and less.But King Uther is still very enthusiastic about the arrival of Kay's eldest brother Eric.

Eric is Eckert's heir, and now Eckert sent him, the meaning is very obvious.

Thinking of Eckert's actions, King Uther thought of himself while being happy.He felt that it was definitely a correct choice for him to confer Arthur at this time, after all, he was not much younger than Eckert.

At night, everyone gathered in the palace hall, and under the witness of all the nobles in the kingdom, Arthur knelt on one knee before King Uther.

"Are you willing to swear that you will rule the land of this kingdom and its people, and follow the customs and laws passed down by your ancestors?"

Arthur solemnly swore: "I do, sir." (I am willing, Your Majesty)

"Will you take an oath to speak and act justly and kindly?"

"I do, sir."

At this point, King Uther placed a golden scepter across Arthur's face.

"Would you swear to Camelot the duty of your life?"

Holding the scepter in his hand, Arthur swears loudly, "I, Arthur Pendragon! I swear on my life, to be loyal all my life, to protect the kingdom and its people!"

King Uther smiled and let go of the scepter in his hand, allowing Arthur to hold the scepter in his hand, and then took a crown from Kay's hand.

"Now, starting now, you will create your own era."

King Uther put the crown on Arthur's head and officially announced Arthur's title.

"In the name of the kingdom and the ancestors, I canonize you as Prince Camelot."

　The original English text of the sentence "seal you as the Prince of Camelot" is: you shall be Crown Princes of Camelot.Among them, Crown Princes refers to the meaning of the prince, but the translation is a bit weird, so the prince is still used.There is another interesting point. When I was watching this episode, I found that the subtitles used Crown Princess. I almost died laughing. The meaning of adding an s is completely different. I became a crown princess. I don’t know if it is a subtitle. The group is acting cute on purpose
