Ambition of the King of Knights

The chatter and laughter of the knights, the sound of clinking glasses, and the noisy sound of people dancing to the beat could be faintly heard outside the tent. Against this background, the dead silence in the tent was even more apparent.

"My king, I will take my leave first. I have been looking forward to the banquet for a long time."

Merlin, who was winked by Arthur, smiled slightly, and his face, which was quite charming, was covered with a smile of watching the show. For Merlin, perhaps the King of Knights was the most special king he had ever taught, or perhaps It is the most perfect work of his life.

However, this particularity did not dispel his embarrassing thoughts. After all, he did not want Arthur to die from exhaustion of vitality without any objection—he deserved it for not listening to his teacher!

As Merlin left, Arthur felt guilty subconsciously with that meaningful smile. From the first time he saw Merlin when he was a child, he felt that this great magician could be said to be omnipotent, and he couldn't be seen through. ?

"..."

"I'm waiting for your explanation, Wang."

"..."

Arthur was silent for a long time, really not knowing what to say.

Could it be that I actually wanted to fulfill Arturia's wish, so I didn't hesitate to die?

Could it be that I actually feel that being a king is too tiring, so I plan to become a shopkeeper after completing the integration of the country, and lie down on the Throne of Heroes to eat and drink? !

As for reducing the casualties of the knights... Although there are also some reasons for this, if they say it, these people will definitely feel more guilty and sad, right?He really couldn't bear to rub salt in these people's wounds.

"Needless to say, my lord, I and we both understand." Lancelot stared fixedly at Arthur for a long time, but he didn't feel embarrassed after all, but said with melancholy eyes, "You are still so kind."

"..."

Years of experience told Arthur that silence is better than sound at this time, and he just needs to smile. Anyway, the other party will definitely make up a suitable reason by himself, and it will definitely be more complete than what he said.

"Are you still going to the banquet?"

"Of course I want to go, Xiaobei still owes me the roast leg of lamb." Arthur said with a smile, for the fact that he was originally, and was once said to have accompanied the king's life until his death, he liked it very much, "I am looking forward to it." As for his craftsmanship, he didn’t even know the common sense that you need to remove the internal organs of grilled fish last time.”

"No wonder...he practiced very hard in order to fulfill the agreement with the king." Lancelot smiled slightly, thinking that the knight, who is also regarded as the young master, asked to learn cooking for no reason, so it was so.

"Ah, in fact, I just mentioned it casually. I didn't expect that child to be so caring." Arthur was also a little embarrassed, "Actually, he doesn't have to be so serious."

"As long as you are happy, we are very happy." Lancelot met Arthur's eyes, and the sincerity in those serious eyes could not be denied, "Whenever, as long as you are still here, we have Solid backing, fearless, steadfast forward, you are important to me... we are all important to the whole of Great Britain, so please take care."

"……I try my best."

Arthur turned his head away, not daring to meet Lancelot's eyes, how could he break even more guilty? !No no, I've been acting for almost 20 years, I can't break my merits at this time!Never give up!

After calming down, he adjusted his expression and put forward his request in the most confident and calm tone.

"Lancelot, please keep it secret for now, it's not time to make it public yet."

"As long as it's your request."

"……thanks."

It's over, he's going to collapse!How can I break my conscience? !

Entering the arena with a smile on their faces, they came to the banquet scene with a tangled Arthur. They had just defeated the biggest and last enemy, the Saxon Kingdom, and the remaining scattered enemies were nothing to worry about, because The next ones are small countries rather than small tribes, which are indeed worthy of celebration, especially when the casualty rate is extremely low.

Lancelot drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. However, no one except him knew that this was the victory won by Wang overdrawn his own life... However, is such a victory really meaningful? !He couldn't help but began to doubt this, and also felt pained by his vacillation—it is clear that as a knight, sacrificing himself to save others is the rule...

Lancelot frowned as he glanced over the carnival crowd and set his sights on Merlin. Although he was somewhat repulsed by the mysterious and willful Merlin, he still respected him after all.

That was Wang's teacher, and he was also a wise man, but at this moment he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, angry at this mentor who knew the consequences and everything from the beginning, but didn't speak out, and didn't stop Wang, even if he I also know that this is really far-fetched, the will of the king has never been shaken by anyone.

"Lancelot, don't you want to eat? Xiaobei's craftsmanship is good."

Arthur dangled a leg of lamb in his hand, the image of a handsome blond man eating the leg of lamb might be a little bit ruined, but he knew that one of the original Saber's mistakes was that he was too high and gave people a sense of distance, let alone him As a 'commoner' himself, there is no pressure to make such a natural act of being close to the people, and he can even happily discuss with Xiaobei where to cut the mutton to make it more tender.

"It's worth my trouble if you like it." Bedivere swayed his braids, his face was full of joy, and he handed the soup in front of Arthur with a little shyness, "Well, today's soup is also I cooked it, Wang, would you like to try it?"

"Ah, ah, children nowadays." Kai clutched his chest, with a disappointed expression on his face, "It's such a big difference, why don't you thank me? The fish and shrimp in today's fish soup were all caught by me, right? Too much..."

"Well, Kai, if you want to drink, you can fill it yourself."

"So eccentric..."

"No way, who will be the king?"

"That's right, haha——"

"However, as expected of my king, I can actually use my fingers to send out sword energy to cut mutton, and I can eat a leg of mutton with aristocratic elegance. It's too powerful."

"Gao Wen, your moves aren't bad either. The mutton is also sliced ​​into distinct pieces, and it's presented on a plate better than Wang. Don't you often use this to please girls?"

"Hey, you discovered this too, haha, if you want to learn, I'll teach you..."

"..."

Looking at the laughing and harmonious members of the Knights, Arthur's eyes flashed with relief. It was worth his efforts to cultivate a tacit understanding among them. He knew the role of individual heroism in morale, but he did not give up on teamwork. Every time there is a war, there will be a meeting to make plans together, and after the victory, we will hold a banquet together to get closer to each other. We don’t forget to encourage competitions and exchanges at ordinary times. Everyone’s relationship is still very good.

In this way, at least there is no need to worry that the Knights will split directly after he dies, right?It is true that he is the core, but when these members also have fetters, even if it is not like a family that loves each other now, at least they can get along in harmony and assist the next king.

"Please don't show such a look." Lancelot drank another bottle of wine, and said in a dull voice, "Your expression always makes me think that you are thinking about the funeral, and it is the kind of person who is relieved and has nothing to worry about." look."

"..." That's amazing, Xiaolan, how do you understand my thoughts so well? !

Arthur was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help looking away, and fell on Mordred who seemed a bit incompatible with the joyful banquet. Now that everyone's feelings were being drawn closer by him, Mordred, who was always unwilling to take off his helmet, just It seems to be a lot out of place.

"What's the matter, Mordred, don't you want to join in?"

In fact, Arthur has always been very good to Mordred, just to prevent this child from becoming black, because children have a rebellious period, and he is going to soften up slowly. Unfortunately, there is not as much time as he imagined, so maybe he has to be careful. strong medicine.

"Why don't you try taking off the helmet?" Arthur put his hands on Mordred's lean shoulders, and said pointedly, "Even if you are ugly and miserable, everyone will not dislike you. On the contrary, if you keep covering yourself in darkness, you will never be able to get out of the shadows."

"Is this your order?" Mordred didn't agree or deny, but just asked.

"No, this is not an order, Xiao Mo, this is just my suggestion, the key lies in your heart."

Arthur paused, he hesitated for a moment whether to simply order the other party to take off the helmet, and then wept (mistake!), a touching confession, but he immediately denied the answer, if the caterpillar wants to transform into a gorgeous Butterflies can only break out of the cocoon by their own strength. If external force is applied, it may seem like help at first glance, but in fact it is a kind of oppression.

Mordred was silent for a moment, seeing half of the face of the King of Knights, whose face was extraordinarily gentle against the backdrop of the flickering bonfire, was finally shaken. No one likes to be invisible in the dark all the time, so he couldn't help asking: "The King , can I ask you a question?"

"Yes." Arthur's eyes lit up, feeling Xiao Mo's wavering.

"Why have you never married?"

"what?"

"Obviously there are many women who show love to you, and you are the king, so it is necessary to leave an heir this morning." Mordred seemed puzzled in his tone, "Even if you like men, the men who show love to you are also Quite a few, and you've never accepted anyone..."

"..." Boy, do you know what a profound question you asked? !

At this time in ancient times, probably because the number of weak women was small, coupled with the fact that soldiers and knights lived and died together a lot, there was a lot of same-sex love, and Arthur was used to it long ago, but he always Standing there like an unattainable high-altitude flower, even a person with a small dream, after tactfully expressing his love, would not dare to speak out openly if he failed, for fear of blaspheming him...
