【Gaolan】Political Marriage

"Vivienne is not often in the lake." Lancelot's eyes flickered. "She likes to play in the world, no one knows when she will come back..."

All right.Gao Wen took a deep breath, he should prepare for the worst. "Vivienne wasn't there when our letter arrived, so you made your own decision and came to Camelot, didn't you? Did you leave her a letter to let her know?"

"I asked the Nimues to tell her." Lancelot replied.

This is really the worst case scenario.

Gawain stood up. "You and I go to the king and report this to her." He put on two coats indiscriminately, and looked down to see Lancelot still sitting on the bed in a daze, the girl's snow-white breasts exposed in the light veil among.Gawain turned his head and pulled her up from the bed, grabbed his thick fur cloak and wrapped her tightly. "...By the way, find Merlin to find a way to lift the curse on you!"

Holding the girl's slender and smooth wrist, he took several deep breaths to suppress the moan in his throat. Finally, Gao Wen couldn't hold back his emotions and said bitterly.

"That's not a curse, it's the elf's blessing!" Lancelot emphasized seriously.

...that's really sad.

They're in luck.On their wedding night, after the bride and groom sneaked around the castle for a short distance, they bumped into Gawain's most talkative sister, Gareth.

The girl was about the same age as Lancelot, and she seemed to have drunk too much. Gareth was resting on the arch of the castle, and when she saw Gawain, she jumped up. "Brother?!" The girl's eyes were shining brightly, looking up and down at Gao Wen who had obviously changed his clothes. "...Why are you out?"

"I have a very urgent situation to report to the king." Gao Wen had a serious face, and pressed the shoulder of his younger sister who was about to stand on tiptoe, so the girl twisted around and stretched her head left and right, trying to avoid the cover of her brother's broad figure. Look at the man hiding in the shadows behind. "That's Lancelot? I remember he's taller than you...?"

"Gareth." Gawain repeated. "It's business."

"Okay." Gareth shrugged and walked towards the square outside. She looked much easier to deal with than Gawain's other sister in men's clothing. "Do you want to tell mother about this?" After walking a few steps, she seemed to remember something again and asked back.

Gao Wen hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Wang, Merlin, and Morgan... please come to my new house."

After receiving Gareth's report, Wang rushed over immediately. The Magician of Flowers was chatting with another lady. Wang's adopted brother Kai and sister Morgan followed her.Gawain has already seized the time to let Lancelot change into relatively ordinary clothes, but the moment he saw Gawain's beautiful bride, everyone still couldn't hold back the awkward yet polite smile on their faces.Moments later, Morgan was the first to laugh. "Isn't this better? Vivienne is very considerate."

She sat down beside Lancelot, took the child by the hand, and began to ask her what was the matter with more familiarity and warmth.Gawain ignored his mother, and recounted to the king what happened tonight, including the elf's blessing to Lancelot, as concisely as possible.

"Vivienne didn't know about our marriage proposal. Lancelot ran out by himself." Gawain said, feeling as if he was grinding his teeth. "We have to explain to Vivian immediately. If Nimues spread the word and let her misinterpret this matter again, Camelot and the Kingdom of the Lake will become enemies."

"The elf's blessing on Lancelot is also the Nimue's own idea. Can Merlin help him remove it?"

"It can't be done." Morgan raised his head with a smile on his face. "The spell cast on this child is a fairly ancient and rigid magic formula. Only after the man who truly loves the subject makes a choice, his gender will be fixed. Before that, he will remain In this state, the gender is switched every twelve hours."

Lancelot's body trembled slightly, and Morgan noticed this. She gently stroked the girl's delicate fingers, and the smile on her face deepened. "True love, Gawain. You must fall in love with her—or him—with all your heart."

"Go and find Merlin first." King Arthur said after listening to Gao Wen's report in silence.She beckoned, and a little white cat-like animal sprang out from the darkness of the room, and quickly and skillfully jumped into the king's arms.Wang combed the little beast's fur gently, "Cathy, go and tell him about it. Don't think about playing tricks this time, he must go to the Land of the Lake."

"Poor Merlin, Vivian will kill him." Kai shrugged, gloating.

"That's between them." King Arthur said blankly. "As for Lancelot, stay in Camelot as a 'male bride' for the time being, and don't make this matter public until you find Vivienne and solve the problem of the elves' blessing. Gao Wenqing, Lancelot will hand over You. You have exchanged vows in front of the people and the gods, no matter what, he is yours," the king sighed, "wife."

Gawain nodded. "I will protect Lancelot."

"That's it?" The atmosphere in the new room was so solemn that Kai yawned, "It's already midnight, let the bride and groom sleep well? We can go on to drink another round. Arturia ,And you?"

"Let's go."

Wang let go of his hand and let the little white cat jump down, and it disappeared into the darkness in an instant.She and Kay walked out of the new house one after the other. Morgan stared at Lancelot for a while, then got up and left with that meaningful smile on his face.Only Gawain and Lancelot were left in the room again.

The expensive honey candle was about to burn out. Gawain looked down at Lancelot. The girl sat on the edge of the bed with her head down. Although she had changed into a relatively simple dark robe, the curve of her fair and slender neck was Still perfectly exposed from the collar.Alright, Gawain turned his head and looked at the thick animal skin carpet on the ground.It's May and he can sleep on the floor.

"Go to sleep." Gao Wen said, took a pillow and threw it on the ground. "After a day of tossing, you are also tired."

"you hate me."

He was about to extinguish the candle when he heard a girl's voice behind him.Lancelot had been silent since the king came in, letting them talk about him, and when he spoke, his voice was full of anger.Gao Wen turned his head in surprise. He always thought the child was just innocent and ignorant, so he tried to be tolerant towards him, but at this moment the girl looked at him with sharp and resentful eyes, and she proudly puffed out her soft chest like a knight.

"Gao Wenqing, what Camelot requested from the Land of the Lake is only a political marriage, so it's only natural that you don't really love me. But why do you hate me so much that you don't even want to touch me as a woman? Camelot Isn't what Luo wants, a bride who can bear children for you and make the two bloods become one?"

Gawain sighed and sat down on the carpet.He was completely sober from the wine, but Lancelot's bright, angry purple eyes seemed to have more impact than the girl's soft and white body, pushing and rubbing his uncontrollably beating heart. "Would you like to?" he asked as calmly as possible.

"That's why I'm here!"

"Be my wife, bear children for Camelot, give up your sword and horses, stay away from the lake and forest, and live in the city of chalk from now on. As the heir of Camelot, live as the people need. Ideal The king is a tool for governing the country, and so is the royal family. Forget yourself and become a member of the Pendragon family, can you do it too?"

Lancelot was about to answer, Gawain raised a hand to stop him.

"For example, if the king cancels the marriage with the country of the lake and asks me to marry a giant or a dragon bride, I will marry too. Political marriage is a matter of this level, do you understand?"

"...In that case, I will definitely come to rescue you."

After a short silence, Lancelot said firmly.

"We are already married. If this happens, whether it is a giant or a dragon, I will definitely come to save you!"

"…………"

This time it was Gao Wen's turn to be silent.After a while, he turned his head away, blew out the candle, and let darkness fall.The bonfire that had been burning all night in the square had also been extinguished, and the sky was twilight in the distance.

"Stop talking silly, go to sleep."
