Ambition of the King of Knights

"Ahem, in short, Xiao Mo is indeed my child. Her mother used some... methods. This part is not important. You just need to know that she is my blood."

Arthur dodged Gawain's question lightly, jokingly, Gawain was sometimes more fanatical about "maintaining the image of the king" than he was a Saber fan. If he knew that Mordred actually came from a From this point of view, it is a product of "chaos and ethics", should it be better?

He subconsciously glanced at Merlin, who was smiling slightly as if he was about to say something. There was a faint warning in his eyes. He really indulged himself, a magician who is both a teacher and a friend, and he didn't mind the other party commenting on his works. He, however, also has a bottom line.

Perhaps because he understood the warning in Arthur's eyes, Merlin's eyelashes trembled, and his eyes slightly shifted, but he didn't say any extra words to expose anything - as long as this person doesn't speak, everything is easy to say.

Regrettably, perhaps because he didn't want to know too much about the black history of the goddess being slapped (fog), Arthur didn't know that Mordred was not simply Morgan's creation, but Morgan used it Arthur's flesh and blood was conceived in his body, so he quickly accepted Xiao Mo's existence. If he knew the truth...even if he would accept it, it would not be so easy and pleasant.

Merlin moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything. In fact, he had already guessed what the king was thinking. Maybe he didn't reject it too much because he simply thought that Mordred was another possibility for himself. It's just the titular mother who created the 'artificial human'. What if I told him at this time that Mordred actually has Morgan's blood?

At that time, he was the king of knights with a broad mind, and he couldn't face this child directly. At that time, he might be able to find some stimulation that he was looking for, and he could also test the perfection of his work...

Merlin was thinking distractedly. When he came back to his senses, he subconsciously avoided Wang's sight. After all, he didn't tell the secret—in fact, Wang is already perfect. If he accidentally overplays and ruins the work But it's not good, he comforted himself like this, but there were already ripples in his heart.

"The second thing is the ownership of the throne." Arthur sighed, "Despite her existence, she is still young and lacks experience, and her birth date is still short, so I am not going to give her the throne. I hope you don't." Blame me, Xiao Mo."

"No, how could it be?" Mordred shook his head. Although he had longing for his father, he was also disappointed that he couldn't become a king like his father, but she has been recognized that she doesn't have much attachment to the throne.

"I chose Princess Morgan as the heir. This may not be the only choice, but it is the best." Arthur looked at Gawain's awkward and disapproving eyes, and said slowly, "Actually, there is a royal family. You are also a good candidate, Gao Wen, who is also a man with blood, both civil and military skills, but..."

"No, I don't have such an idea." Gao Wen was shocked, he knelt down eagerly, and confessed, "My lord, I should have supported your decision, but Mrs. Morgan...isn't because I have ambitions like that..."

"I understand, Gao Wen, this is why I must make it clear as soon as possible."

Arthur stroked his forehead with his fingers and rubbed it. He always felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, and he felt a little tired even after saying a few words. Salazar who was on the side supported him with incredible meekness. Let him have the illusion that he has an extra child.

"Gao Wen, I chose Morgan not only because she is closer to me in blood and is one of the direct heirs, but also because of her ambition and methods. You may not be the first to step up and down in terms of strength, but you are far behind her in terms of strategy. And she's far more ambitious than you."

"In that case, then you?!"

"If you were chosen, Morgan would not be willing to remain silent, but would only stir up storms, which would likely lead to the division of Great Britain, and she could use her noble blood to block you. I can foresee that the country's development will be delayed in the future, and even It's the prelude to civil strife... Similarly, this is why I didn't give the throne to Xiao Mo, and I haven't announced her identity for a long time."

Seeing the slightly enlightened expressions on everyone's faces, Arthur heaved a sigh of relief. These people are not the kind of ambitious guy. Even Mordred, who will seek to usurp the throne in the future, has not been completely blackened at the moment. The wish was still recognized by his father, so he could confess the reason so reassuringly.

"On the contrary, if Morgan is chosen, her ambition, strength, and blood can become an indispensable strength and symbol of this country, and you, Gawain, Lancelot, Bedivere... I believe that with your integrity and Loyalty will never breed redundant ambitions, and will make appropriate concessions when the two sides conflict, so that Great Britain can remain strong."

"...you are correct, king."

After a long silence, Gao Wen finally couldn't help sighing, and admitted the king's consideration. However, although Morgan was the best heir candidate after the king, he couldn't get the recognition as arrogant as him. His king could only be The most perfect and most powerful one.

"Please rest assured, we will definitely help Mr. Morgan govern this country well." Gawain glanced around, raised the corners of his lips, and looked at Arthur firmly, "However, we will only be yours Knight, we will be loyal to the country in the future, but the king we are loyal to is only you from the beginning to the end, I think we all have this in common.”

"...Thank you, this is enough."

Arthur didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He seemed to have maxed out the loyalty of the knights. Is this a sequelae?However, since Gao Wen made the guarantee on behalf of the Knights of the Round Table, there is no need to worry too much given the integrity of the knights.

"Okay, let's stop here, the king is already very tired and needs to rest." Merlin said lightly and gave the order to evict the guest, and frowned when he saw Arthur's strength, "Why are you all idle? "

"We will naturally step back and not disturb the rest of the king." Mordred smiled sweetly, and then pierced Salazar with sharp eyes, "However, other irrelevant people should also go, don't disturb Where is the father?"

Salazar, who was accused of being an "irrelevant person", sneered, and looked at Mordred without saying a word, sparks sparkled between his eyes.

"Their magical talents are good." Merlin said casually, "Fate tells me that they will be my students, and I will naturally arrange a place for them."

"I hope so."

Mordred looked angrily at Salazar, who looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything, and the villain in his heart kept poking at him—the one who robbed her father of the king's attention was not a good person!Forget about the Knights of the Round Table, what the hell is this guy!The only child of the father is her!

"Okay, Xiao Mo, let's leave first." Lancelot, who used to partner with Mordred, naturally knew the kid's temper, and immediately stood up, pulling Xiao Mo with his left hand and Xiao Bei with his right hand, "Master Merlin , let’s take our leave first, and come to visit the king tomorrow.”

"The king is begging you, please let him rest well."

Gao Wen forced a smile, and left with a heavy heart. He already felt that the burden on him was even heavier, not only the burden of being the chief knight, but also the expectation of the king.

Merlin nodded, watched the few people leave, and then pointed to a door for the boys and girls who had just been forgotten and ignored by everyone.

"You are staying here temporarily, and you can clean up and rest in that room by yourself... Knowing so many secrets, you don't think you can leave at will, do you?"

Seeing the children nodding like chickens pecking at rice to show that they would be obedient, Merlin couldn't help but curl his lips. He didn't just do it casually just now. These four people did have a relationship with him as mentors and apprentices, and they seemed quite acquainted with each other. Yes, not bad.

"Go."

Seeing the silhouettes of the knights disappear from the house, and the children also out of sight, Merlin walked to Arthur's bed and spoke softly.

"...I'm a little curious—my dear Arthur, have you ever wondered why Morgan created Mordred?"

"Huh?" Arthur, who was almost asleep in a daze, looked at Merlin blankly when he heard this question.

"How much do you know? Do you know nothing, or are you pretending not to know?"

Merlin gently lifted Arthur's chin, staring at those misty green eyes, with indescribable anticipation surging in his heart, as if he was about to touch some taboo-like thrill.

"Obviously, the existence of Mordred will only shake her position, isn't it? Haven't you thought about it?"

"Ok?"

Arthur tilted his head in a bewilderment, and subconsciously wanted to answer the teacher's words, but he really didn't know Morgan's intentions, so he could only refer to the original meaning in history, as if...

"Because... I'm too strong? So she can only hope to create Mordred to kill me, and then snatch the throne?"

"..."

Merlin stared at Arthur's misty eyes for a long time, but after all, he couldn't see any trace of concealment, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth without making any comments—this answer is too normal, but it's just because it's so normal that it's wrong!

Morgan is a witch, if she really wants to kill Arthur... To put it bluntly, serving a plate of poisoned snacks or tea is enough, does it need to be so troublesome?Even if he was looking for a killer, why did he have to come up with a king's blood?

In the end, it was just for a little thought in my heart...

It's a pity, Arthur, you will never understand, just like you will never understand the mind of 'Knight's Flower', and my love for you...

Merlin put his hands on Arthur's neck lightly, making the enemy frightened. The king of knights who ruled the world is so weak and vulnerable, lying here quietly. As long as he exerts a little force, this king will die in the world in his hand.

Perhaps, instead of letting this most satisfying work so far die in the dying years and the fear of losing his life, it would be better to let him, a craftsman who carves beautiful jade himself, destroy it!

Thinking of this, Merlin's hand on Arthur's neck tightened subconsciously, but in the next second he let go as if startled, and quickly took two steps back.

"Forget it, it's not yet time..."

"When you are corroded by rotten death, I will personally bury you, withered, Arthur..."

"By the time……"

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Merlin: Arthur, you'll never know what I mean to you...

Wang: Heh heh heh——

Merlin: Hate!

Wang: Huh?Have I ever bullied you?

Merlin: Hehe, everyone in the wizarding world knows, 'Merlin deserves to be oppressed by King Arthur for the rest of his life', you said you never bullied me?

Wang: ... Huh?So you're going to kill me?

Merlin: I killed you and ate you. I am a half-devil. You can store your spirit in me, and you will live in my dream forever.

Wang: Puhaha, Merlin, what strange post did you read? It was a horror novel, and such a joke full of loopholes is being said...

Merlin: Hehe, is that a joke?Take it for granted, my king...
