【Gaolan】Political Marriage

The warm sunshine and the fluff of the carpet scratched his cheeks, and Gawain woke up from his sleep with a grunt. Just as he was about to stretch and turn over, his swinging arm hit the iron foot of the bed heavily.

That's right, I slept on the floor last night... Gao Wen rubbed his arms and hissed. A bride came all the way from the fairyland to share his bed.

He propped up his upper body and looked at the bed shrouded in the golden morning light like a mist. Lancelot—from the shoulders exposed above the quilt and the slender arms stretched out, he turned back into a male appearance.The teenager slept in a mess, with soft and messy purple hair, holding the quilt with one hand, only covering the center of his body, spreading the other arm, and spreading his legs wide apart, his muscular and graceful calves were exposed between the sheets and the morning light, in a posture It seems quite indecent by the standard of a bride, but it looks like a free and at ease little beast, wantonly exposing its soft belly.

With such a free and unrestrained appearance, how can you say that you have the consciousness to be a bride in a political marriage... When Gao Wen complained, he didn't realize that his inner tone was like a spoiled complaint, and he was helplessly critical of such a trivial matter. It's not at all like last night's categorical look that even the bride of a giant and a dragon would marry for Camelot.

He took a closer look at Lancelot's sleeping face. The young man's appearance, which was between handsome and beautiful, made Gawain even more aware of how young he was.The straight nose bridge and the long slender eyes, the brows and eyes that are usually innocent to a little silly are slightly wrinkled in melancholy in sleep, the bright lips like petals are surrounded by a layer of light fluff, and they look softer under the sun.

Frank, green, soft, seductive.How... so desirable to touch.

That is a symbol of immature men who are about to mature.But Gao Wen heard his own breathing became heavy and obvious, his upper body leaned closer, and his left hand unconsciously clasped the head of the bed.He instinctively wanted to touch it, not only the fingers, but also the lips were hot and trembling, as well as the part of the man that was easily stimulated in the morning, as if it was the arousal of the girl's white and tall breasts... Is this also possible?Does he like men?Was it just an awkward wedding, a night spent sleeping on the floor, a meeting with Lancelot that made him suddenly discover something he hadn't discovered in the past 26 years?

No, he has never liked a woman in the past 26 years... He respects and loves ladies and ladies, enjoys the sensual stimulation brought by their beautiful faces, full breasts, and romantic evenings if you want to.At the same time he had always been clear that he would marry, a politically married bride for Camelot, fulfilling his responsibilities as a prince.

Sex, love, marriage, he knows the boundaries and handles them well (he thinks so).But like?This kind of simple, one-sided, heart-pounding emotion, like a kid, doesn't consider any consequences, gains or losses, and doesn't ask for any rewards from the body or mind? …Even when he was 16 years old, Gawain didn’t have such feelings. At that time, he was fighting with King Arthur, sleeping with horses every day…Lancelot is only 16 years old this year…and he is already legal wife...

Exchanging vows in front of the crowd and the gods...

Lancelot's eyelashes moved slightly on the bed.

Consciousness was still floating endlessly in the morning's cranky thoughts, but his body reacted much faster than his brain. Gawain straightened his upper body abruptly, and distanced himself from Lancelot before he fully opened his eyes.The dazed purple pupils focused for a while, then widened suddenly, and the body instinctively put on a vigilant movement. Then, as if remembering something, the boy froze for a while, looking straight at Gao Wen.

The sun shone on the cheeks of the two of them, how hot and warm they were.Gawain saw Lancelot's cheeks turn red quickly, while his own face was burning hot.The boy tilted his head and covered his face with his hands. There was a girlish and childlike cuteness in this gesture, and Gao Wen forgot the language for a moment.

Bang, bang, it was the maids knocking on the door carrying washbasins and breakfast.Britain has been at war for years, and King Arthur's court still maintains a regular life like a barracks. No one thought of letting the bride who came from afar sleep for a while after the wedding night.Wine and toast were brought to the table, and the newlyweds were served in silence by the maids.Washing, changing, and eating, Lancelot is the adopted son of Mrs. on the Lake after all, and he is very used to being surrounded and served by girls.Only the blush on his cheekbones did not fade until after breakfast.

The maids began to remove the plates, and in the quiet morning light there was only the occasional clinking of tableware.Lancelot's eyes followed the departing fork for a while, then suddenly turned to Gawain.

"His Highness Gao Wen..."

"Gawain."

"Gawain." Lancelot's vision was always sharp and bright, like a purple crystal spear.It seemed to him the easiest thing to do immediately and violently, and he was never lacking in courage. "I'm in Camelot, what should I do?"

"Um……"

Gawain thought about it.Originally his bride was supposed to be a princess, and she had been taught how to be a princess since she was a child. Naturally, her husband didn't need to teach her what to do when she came to her husband's house.And Gawain, like Lancelot, knows nothing about the bride's daily tasks after marriage.Want to take Lancelot around to familiarize yourself with Camelot City?It doesn't seem very good, after all, he is a male bride, and Lancelot's beauty can easily cause commotion, and he doesn't like being surrounded by people...

"What do you usually do in the country of the lake?"

"Practice martial arts!" Lancelot replied quickly, and his expression changed from serious to excited. "Practice martial arts after breakfast every day, rest at noon, and then go to shoot arrows for a while in the afternoon. Play with Nimues, sing and chat with them. After dinner, read poetry and story books, as well as various knowledge of the human world... summer can be Go hunting in the forest all day long, but you have to come back before the moon rises. Also, you have to gather flowers from the forest for the Nimues, and weave garlands for them in the lake with beautiful shells of the right size..."

"I understand." Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief.Although he knew that elves are not good at giving birth, it is better for his bride to indulge in martial arts than indulging in romance.At least the current hurdle is easy to deal with - if Lancelot's daily life in the Land of the Lake consisted of singing, reading poetry and weaving garlands, Gawain would really regret why he didn't learn the harp or something.

"Do you want to go to the martial arts field to train together? If we go there now, it may be too late."

"Okay!" Lancelot jumped up from the chair, his eyes lit up, and he forgot the honorifics. "I've long wanted to meet King Arthur's knights!"

***

They changed into light chain mail, and it was indeed too late when they arrived at the vast school grounds on the east side of Camelot Palace.The sun was about to rise to the mid-heaven, and the knights who had completed their daily training dispersed one after another. On the road, when they met Gao Wen and his male bride who got up late, they all showed kind and teasing smiles.Lancelot didn't think there was any difference, he looked around excitedly all the way, and warmly greeted every knight he met.

"I'm Lancelot from the Land of the Lake. I just became Gao Wenqing's wife. It's a pleasure to fight with you under the banner of Camelot!"

"You are Gao Wenqing's younger sister, Miss Gareth. You are also a heroic and beautiful female knight. We will be brother and sister from now on! Huh? I am older..."

"This is Lord Aggavan?... Please, please wait a moment... Gao Wen! This brother of yours has no knightly etiquette!..."

"You are so lucky to have a very enthusiastic bride." Kai patted Gawain on the shoulder as he passed by, adding a significant emphasis on the word enthusiasm.

Under the scorching sun, only Mordred in red armor was left among the knights who were still riding horses back and forth for training in the center of the school grounds.Lancelot didn't have a good impression of Gawain's younger sister either, but unlike the obvious hostility towards him shown by Aggavin, Mordred's provocative attitude was more like rebelling against his elder brother Gawain authority.Seeing Gawain and Lancelot approaching, she once again galloped across the school grounds, laughing loudly as she passed in front of them.

"Sure enough, it's a newlywed. Knight Gawain, who has always been strict in self-discipline and doesn't like to have fun, can't get out of bed. Hey, let me say, is it so good to marry a man as a wife? How about it, Lan Sloat? You must have had a good time last night, hahahahahaha."

Without giving them time to fight back, Mordred had already left, and Gawain and Lancelot looked at each other in blank dismay.As if she wasn't satisfied enough, after a while, she came back again: "Hey, are you two here to practice martial arts? Why don't you try to fight quickly? Gao Wen, you are not afraid of being beaten by your wife. Right? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha... Hey!"

Gawain grabbed Mordred's riding whip and pulled her off the horse at the moment when he was in the wrong position. The dust flew up, and the armor made a heavy sound when it fell to the ground. Gao Wen, you bastard! What are you doing all of a sudden!"

"It's time for a fight." Gawain handed the whip to Lancelot who was beside him, picked up his holy sword of the sun, and his bright and bright smile was a bit murderous no matter how you looked at it.

"Come on, Mordred, let me see how much your strength has dropped after you have slackened your training these days."

"Hey, you came here when the sun was at its peak at noon! But I'm not afraid of you..." Mordred muttered, but he also had fighting spirit. He took a few steps back and took up his sword in a defensive posture. posture.

Gareth ran in and took the initiative to be the referee. The brother and sister quickly changed into formal armor with the help of the attendants, and took their positions in the circular duel training area.Lancelot concentrated on watching these ceremonial procedures, a one-on-one battle between two real knights!The etiquette of greeting, the moving steps and the posture of swinging the sword, all these are so novel and irresistible to Lancelot who grew up in the country of the lake.

Before the official start, Gao Wen suddenly turned around and smiled at Lancelot on the sidelines: "If you want, we can also practice next." His voice and smile were hidden under the silver-white helmet, buzzing The buzzing echo sounds more fatally sexy.Lancelot nodded blankly.

The dull and heavy clashing sound of the blades echoed in the sunlight, mixed with Gareth's cheers and applause.Unlike the girl who had no distractions, Lancelot, who was full of joy and excitement just now, just stood on the sidelines in a daze, his eyes following Gawain's footsteps.His silver shining armor, the dark green cloak fluttering from the hem embroidered with gold thread, the sound of deep breathing and the roar of battle, the sweat dripping on the sand, the burning sun shining on the blade...

Lancelot felt hot, as if the redness of his cheeks hadn't subsided since the morning, and now standing under the sun, the heat was rising from the depths of his body in waves.Gawain is really a good knight, but why doesn't he like himself?No, this is a political marriage, and it's just part of the covenant between Camelot and the Land of the Lake. Isn't it natural that there was no love at the beginning?The elf's blessing also needs to be lifted by Gawain's true love, but how can I get his true love...

"The victory is divided!"

The sharp whistle interrupted Lancelot's meditation, and Gareth jumped up waving a small flag. "Brother won! 23 rounds, even faster than last time!"

"Noon, it's noon." Mordred sat on the ground and hummed, not bothering to get up.Her helmet was knocked off, revealing a flushed face and sweat dripping from beneath the blond mess. "Who wants to fight Gao Wen at noon? I'm starving to death!"

Gawain smiled, ignored her, took off his helmet and put it under his arm, turned around and stretched out his hand towards Lancelot.

His forehead was also covered with sweat, but his sunny beauty was not disheveled. Instead, it was even more radiant because of the flush after exercise.His aura was much more even and long than Mordred's, and he obviously still had plenty of energy left. Even after fighting for a long time with heavy armor on, his inviting posture was still elegant. "Would you like to try it, Lancelot?"

"Um, okay."

Lancelot nodded sharply.

"Fight on foot, or on horseback?" Gawain asked, "Just now we had a foot fight with Mordred, how about we have a horse fight?"

"it is good!"

***

Lancelot's martial arts were much better than Gawain imagined.

Originally, he didn't know the depth of Lancelot, but he was willing to play with this young man who claimed to be a knight on the lake.In his mind, Lancelot, who grew up in the dreamy lake country of coral shells and butterflies, was spoiled and raised among a group of elf girls who sang light and love, even if he is interested in martial arts, he should also There is no opportunity to learn and train, let alone compare with the Camelot knights who have experienced the real battlefield - and he is still so young.

But as soon as they fought, Gawain immediately realized that Lancelot was extremely talented in combat.He was very strong, even though his muscles and bones hadn't grown yet, he could barely withstand the attack of Gao Wen who was blessed with three times the strength of the sun.In addition to strength, Lancelot's agility, flexibility, amazing intuition and anticipatory countermeasures in battle are all outstanding in Gawain's life.What's more deadly is that he has a strong competitive spirit and enthusiasm for fighting. Once he enters the state of galloping, he will soon be so focused and excited that his eyes light up, shout loudly, and even seize an opportunity. Actively chasing and attacking Gao Wen.

It's true... very cute.

"Gao Wenqing! Take another blow from me!"

Lancelot yelled again and rushed over from a distance, holding up the long spear with the tip removed and the wooden pole wrapped in cloth.Gao Wen also raised his gun and began to sprint. The moment the two riders crossed their positions, their guns clashed, making a loud crackling sound.Both spears snapped off, and Gao Wen, who immediately let go of the gun barrel, still felt the violent impact along the gun body, and his arms suddenly went numb.

Is this also the blessing of the elves?He looks like a young man who grows too fast so his figure looks a little slender, but his strength is really great...

The momentum of the horse's sprint continued unabated, and the rapid rattling sound soon opened the distance between the two of them again. Gawain moved his arms twice and turned the horse's head.All he lacks is combat experience and skills. If he stays in Camelot and trains for at most one year, Lancelot will really grow into an unrivaled excellent knight.

But now... the gap in experience is irreparable.They hedged three times just now, Lancelot went all out each time, accelerated from a long distance, and was even led by Gawain to run a big circle around the school field.When Gawain changed to a new spear and turned around to charge for the fourth time, Lancelot had already panted his horse and lost the speed and strength of the sprint.

This time without any suspense, Gawain picked Lancelot off the horse with the gun.

So tired, but so fun.Lancelot lay on the sand and gasped for breath. He didn't know whether it was the result of the impact or the excitement. The dizziness that surged in his head hadn't faded away, and the sounds from the outside gathered in the helmet and buzzed.The dazzling sunlight fell directly through the gap of the helmet, making it hard for people to open their eyes, but soon a gentle shadow covered it, and he knelt down and stretched out his hand towards him.

"Are you okay?" Gawain pulled Lancelot up, took off his helmet, and reached in with some worry to rub his sweaty purple hair.He was also getting a little excited about the fight. Leaving aside the bride, the covenant between Camelot and the Land of the Lake was still undecided, so no matter what, he shouldn't be kicking the guest off his horse.Fortunately, although Lancelot was short of breath, he didn't suffer any external injuries, but his face was really red. When Gawain touched his cheek lightly, Lancelot actually let out a short cry.

"what……"

Very hot.Gawain looked at Lancelot's face in astonishment, then looked down at his own fingers, and took off the iron gloves. There was no gravel or dirt on his clean fingers, which would not scratch the red as if Rubbing the delicate cheeks that are about to bleed?

"Lancelot?" He asked again worriedly, "Are you okay, did you get hurt? Is it too hot, come here and take off your armor and drink some water..."

"I'm fine." Lancelot turned his head and broke away from Gawain's embrace. "I'm not that delicate, Gao Wenqing."

"Yes." Gao Wen laughed, "During the battle just now, I have already experienced your stubbornness."

Lancelot turned to look at him, his eyes sparkling again, full of expectation. "Gao Wenqing...Gao Wen, am I playing well?"

"Very good." This sentence is sincere. "In time, you will definitely become the best knight. Now you just lack combat experience and skills. You don't know how to allocate and use horsepower rationally, and you also lack the posture to control the horse..."

Lancelot quietly listened to Gawain's explanation and made gestures, before unconsciously becoming dazed again.Gawain's arm was around his waist, and he slapped up and down through the armor, indicating the skill of muscle exertion, which made him restless, always twisting and turning to move his center of gravity.Gawain noticed it, and he narrowed his soft and thick long golden eyelashes again, raised his head in the sun, and stared at Lancelot worriedly.

"Lancelot? Are you really all right? Are you uncomfortable somewhere, did you hit your head..."

"No."

Lancelot denied it outright, thinking to himself: Isn't this the same as it was in the morning?The knight of the sun, with such a handsome face, suddenly magnified in front of him without warning when he opened his eyes, would anyone lose his mind for a moment?What's wrong with being in a daze - if there is a mistake, it's still Gawain's fault.

"It's fine." Gao Wen was still worried, "Then, shall we call it a day?"

The arm around Lancelot's waist dropped.

"Gawain." Lancelot unknowingly used the tone he used when he was coquettish with Vivienne, and because he didn't realize it, he didn't blush at all. "You continue to teach me the correct way to ride a horse, I want to learn."

"……All right."

The hand came up again.

***

By the end of the day, Lancelot had completely forgotten the anger and worry that Gawain didn't like him last night.They rode the horse for an afternoon. First, the two of them took off their armor and rode together. Gawain's arms were wrapped around his waist to guide the strength of his waist and legs, and then impact training, to grasp the distance of the knight's charge. A dozen scarecrows were erected for Lancelot to chop down one by one.

The boy was full of energy, yelling and having fun.Seeing that he was happy, Gao Wen also called a group of soldiers to set up targets and obstacles for him, and gave him a rough explanation of how to arrange troops.The knights who trained here in the morning heard about this movement, and they left and returned one after another, and came to watch several times.Gareth cupped his face with his hands and yelled with pink bubbles in his eyes, it was so sweet, while Agguiwen had a look of bitterness and hatred on his face, and he was very disdainful.Although that guy Gao Wen is a bastard who likes to put on airs, at least he can be serious and self-restraining in the past, and he can still scare people with his airs. Once he married a wife, how could he become a fool?Mordred sighed and shook his head.

When Lancelot was finally tired from playing, the sun had already set, and Gawain began to feel tired, just in time, King Arthur's attendants came and invited them to dinner.The two went back to change their clothes and took off their armor. Only then did Lancelot feel unwell. His inner and outer clothes were soaked in sweat. He changed into a new set of clothes, but the fabric was still sticking to his skin.

"I want to take a bath," he grumbled sullenly behind the curtain. "I want to swim in the lake. Is there a lake in Camelot?"

"On the mountain behind the palace, there is a small lake in the valley." Gawain changed his clothes and waited for Lancelot to come out. "There are few people there at night, I will take you there when the moon rises..."

He suddenly remembered the elf's blessing and hesitated, "How about taking a hot bath? I'll let the maids prepare it now."

"Hmm..." Lancelot replied dejectedly. After a while, he poked his head out from behind the curtain, and his short hair was neatly combed. "Gao Wen, what's wrong with me being your bride? Your sister, Mordred, Gareth, and the king are all female knights, too?"

Gao Wen smiled wryly. "Let's talk about it after Merlin brings back the news of Mrs. Vivienne and discusses it with the king."

Lancelot snorted and drew his head back.

***

It was already dark when dinner began, and the hall where the round table was located was full of candles.Although only the king and princess, Morgan, Gawain, Lancelot, and Cavalier Kay and other knights closest to the king attended today's dinner, for the sake of convenience, Lancelot, who has turned into a girl, still put on men's clothes and Padded boots, trimmed hair, tightly wrapped chest, try to keep the night and day look as same as possible.

Apparently he had heard about what happened in the schoolyard during the day, and just after the appetizers were served, Morgan smiled and asked Lancelot if he had a good time today.

Gao Wen's mother was different from Vivienne, she was a woman who was gorgeous enough to be called flirtatious.Lancelot was a bit reserved in front of her, but she was very enthusiastic and kind when we met several times, which made Lancelot, who had never learned how to reject others, quickly let go of his guard, honestly Really answer the question of this beautiful lady.

"...Yes, Gao Wenqing said that I still need to learn how to use the horsepower properly, and the posture of the waist and legs when riding a horse is not right, so I have been teaching me this afternoon..."

"...When I was in the lake?...No, it wasn't taught by the elves. The mermaids living in the North Sea would come up the lake to visit every year. Vivian asked them to teach me martial arts...equestrian...actually, I seldom rode Horses on land, equestrian skills are mainly practiced with Kelpa... Yes, those are water horses that live in rivers, and also have habitats in lakes..."

"Yes!" Kai suddenly slapped his thigh and looked at King Arthur. "Didn't the village near Camelot report that there were Kelpai appearing in the river last month? Although they haven't hurt anyone yet, they have already eaten more than a dozen cattle and sheep?"

"It's true." Speaking of business, the king's handsome face showed a serious look. "I sent two knights to investigate, but they only collected information about Kyle's presence, and did not witness the monster with their own eyes. Afterwards, they were busy with Gawain's wedding, and there was indeed no one to continue to follow up on this matter... In a few days, it will be Let’s send the knights again to the village where the monster was reported.”

"Let me go!" Lancelot blurted out without thinking.He was slightly regretful when everyone's gazes were projected over at the same time—was he too reckless?But thinking that it was because of Gao Wen's wedding that the expulsion of the disturbing monsters was delayed, he felt that he was duty-bound. "I have often dealt with Kelpies in the lake, and I know the habits of this water monster very well. If... well, if Gao Wenqing is there to help, it will be no problem to expel a few Kelpies!"

"You are so enthusiastic, little fairy." Morgan said with a smile, and the roots of Lancelot's ears turned red. "After all, Vivian raised a child, and I'm not worried about your martial arts. However, Vivian didn't prepare weapons and armor for you before coming, right? Is it convenient for you to fight?"

"No problem." Lancelot replied, "I, I have brought the armor I usually use. I also have the sword that Vivienne gave me, Arondette, and I always carry it with me."

Now even the king showed interest in his eyes. "Arondette? Is it the God-made weapon, the sister sword of the Sword of Oath of Victory and the Sword of Wheel of Victory, Arondette?"

Lancelot nodded, and asked the attendant to hold up his sword and show it to the king.

The silver-white sword is engraved with pattern-like elven characters, and the flow of magic power is as smooth and gentle as a lake, yet bottomless.Morgan stared at Arondette with eager admiration in his eyes.She caressed the blade lightly, just as reluctantly as she held Lancelot's finger.

"It's a real god-made weapon." Morgan said. "It is said that Arondette's magical power can cause fatal damage to dragons... With this sword, Gawain and his Holy Sword of the Sun, you will have no problem dealing with any monsters. I There are also some magic spells here, which may help your adventures, so I will give them all to you." She smiled beautifully again and looked at her sister. "Artoria, what do you think? Don't worry too much about these two children, right?"

"If Lancelot wants to go, that's fine." Wang pondered for a while. "Merlin hasn't found Vivienne so quickly, does Lancelot want to get acquainted with the situation in Britain?"

"Yes!"

"In that case... Gao Wen, what about you?"

"Everything follows your arrangement."

King Arthur nodded.Morgan smiled silently beside her, and also seemed extremely happy. "You can go out and play for a while," she said. "Anyway, it's still early for Merlin to come back, and Arondette is attacking dragons again. If Lancelot likes to take risks, why don't you expel the flying dragons that are raging on the plain after cleaning up the Kelpie?"
