Originally, there was still the possibility of reducing the punishment, but because of the queen's voluntary punishment, it was wiped out.Perhaps out of guilt for Arturia and wanting to protect Lancelot, Guinevia insisted on her decision to be sentenced.At this moment, as if it wasn't chaotic enough, the attendants rushed into the room in a panic to report that the news of the Queen's private meeting with the Knights of the Round Table spread outside the palace somehow, and now let alone the nobles, the people of the entire royal city knew about it !I believe that soon, the whole of England will know about it.

"Guinivea didn't meet Lancelot privately!" After leaving the roundtable meeting angrily, Artoria was furious in front of several confidants, "They never even met in private! Only the love of soul!"

It's rare to be speechless, you know it very well.

Seeming to understand what he was thinking, Artoria's face flushed red: "I... I, Guinevea told me."

"Then she was already prepared to bear the consequences." Yan Bai said lightly.

"However, her and Lancelot's mistakes don't need to be borne by death." Arturia shook her head and still didn't understand why everyone was so passionate about this matter.According to the report of the captain of the palace guard, a large group of people gathered at the gate of the castle, demanding that the king severely punish the queen and her lover, "Obviously I have forgiven them."

"Probably because I can't bear any stains on the gods in my mind." At this point, he opened up his words, and he has given up the possibility of leading Artoria to discover this fact by himself, "My king , if you fail to execute the queen or one of the knights of Lancelot in accordance with public opinion, your image as a holy king will collapse."

"Then it will collapse. In order to protect my friend, I am willing to let my reputation be damaged." Arturia bit her lower lip and said firmly.

Yan Bai shook his head: "The problem is that you can't collapse. I told you a long time ago that you chose a very difficult path. You can't have any stains, whether it's caused by yourself or someone else. No. So I tell you to be careful of the people around you, the closer you are to the people, the easier it is for you to make mistakes. Al, you made yourself too perfect before, so perfect that even you yourself can’t tarnish this image.”

Artoria slumped down on the chair, and after a while she slowly said, "Is Guinivea really going to be hanged..."

Yan Bai hesitated: "Maybe there is another way."

"What?" Artoria's eyes lit up, like a dying person seeing the last ray of hope.

"If Lancelot is willing to bear all the infamy and take Guinevia away, both of them can live. But they have to abandon their names and hide their names, and live in displacement for the rest of their lives." The pair It is the greatest punishment for a proud knight.Yan Bai didn't say anything, but he knew that Artoria, who was also a real person, understood.

Sure enough, she showed an unbearable expression: "This is too cruel for Mr. Lancelot."

"But asking him to trade his lover's death for his life is also cruel to him." Yan Bai was a little tired, and he remembered Vivienne telling Artoria his decision to send her back to China.

Artoria hesitated for a while and finally agreed, telling him that she would ask Lancelot and let him make his own decision.If he is willing to bear the infamy, she will plan everything together with Gao Wen.Yan Bai nodded, and gave her the last advice: "Don't arrange any Knights of the Round Table to guard the execution ground on the day of the Queen's execution, whether they know it or not." Although Artoria didn't understand, she still agreed.

So Yan Bai escorted Vivian on the road. Before leaving, he thought about taking the crystal bottle containing Mordred's blood with him.Mordred is now 15 years old. He just joined the Knights of the Round Table this year. Apart from his status as the nephew of the king, he is also a master of swordsmanship, although he is far from the age when Yan Bai once saw him kill Artoria in the prophecy. There is still a gap, but he is prepared. At least as far as he knows, the relationship between Mordred and Arturia is not harmonious, and at the same time, Mordred has a good relationship with the queen and the people around the queen.

Sitting on the horseback, looking back at Baicheng going away, Yan Bai was full of ominous premonition.But he thought about it carefully and found nothing wrong. Apart from Altria staying behind, there were Gao Wen and others in Wangcheng, especially Gao Wen. I believe that after what happened to the queen, he would never dare to indulge me casually again. Wang's willful.So it should be fine.What he didn't know was that this was actually the last time he saw this classical and beautiful capital city.

Considering Vivian's body, Yan Bai and his party did not move fast.Said it was a group of people, but apart from Yan Bai, there were only Vivian, her two maids and a coachman. After all, with Yan Bai, any danger on the road would be invisible.In order to reduce unnecessary attention, Yan Bai didn't even bring his entourage with him, so he walked like this for more than a month and only half of the journey was completed.

That night, they came to an oak forest, and they stopped and camped in front of an old oak tree with a hollow center.The days of running around affected Vivian to some extent. She spat out the food in her mouth again. She hadn't eaten for several days, and she lost a lot of weight.Yan Bai leaned against the oak tree, watching the two maids quickly rinse Vivienne's mouth with water, and followed her order to help her get off the carriage to rest.

Vivienne was supported and walked to Yan Bai's side, and also sat down against the oak tree. The maids were busy with other things, and the coachman went to fetch water from the nearby stream. For a while, there were only the two of them here.

The two watched the fire in silence for a while, only the sound of interlaced breathing and the crackling of burning branches could be heard.After a while, Vivienne said softly: "Is it my illusion, Master Merlin, you seem to hate me all of a sudden?"

Yan Bai stared at the dancing flames: "No."

Vivienne seemed to chuckle slightly: "I still said no, I'm not a fool, I can still feel the indifference. I just don't know, did I do something wrong..." She spoke in her voice It went down, and there was some grievance in the tone.

Only then did Yan Bai turn his head and glance at her: "You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that I decided to end some things."

"What is it?" Vivienne didn't seem to understand what he was saying at all.In the past, Yan Bai always avoided looking at her face, fearing that his eyes would reveal his feelings. Now when he decided to make a final decision and simply watch her face, he discovered a problem: "...Vivienne, learn from the black witch Does the surgery affect her appearance?" After so many years, she has not changed at all, but compared with ordinary people, her aging speed is abnormally slow.

"Yeah, you found out too." Vivian touched her face and smiled, "Because of this reason, some people in the court privately called me a witch, Merlin, you probably don't know."

"I thought this title was because you learned magic with me." Yan Bai said slowly.

"Of course not." Vivienne laughed dumbfounded, "Many people are envious of being able to learn magic from you. Haha, but your understanding may be correct. They are jealous that I can learn magic from you."

"Magic is indeed fascinating." Yan Bai nodded and said.Then the two fell into silence again.

Fortunately, the awkward silence didn't last too long, because a crow flapped its wings and fell from the sky, landing on Yan Bai's shoulder.Vivian recognized that this was the bird he used to deliver the news, and asked curiously, "Any good news?"

Unexpectedly, the old mage's face became extremely ugly after hearing the crow's cries a few times. His face, which was always as cold as a stone, became even more icy and hard, as if frozen, and he said word by word: "Morgan rebelled."

"What!" Vivian exclaimed, "How come? Isn't Princess Morgan already exiled?"

"She was secretly picked up by Mordred in Wangcheng two weeks ago. I didn't expect that the two of them would still be in touch after so many years." Yan Bai's brain was spinning quickly. He must be in Wangcheng. Someone in the palace could help them to contact, otherwise it would be impossible. possible.Mordred is not so easy to be influenced and persuaded. Morgan must have been in contact with him when he was very young. Maybe he already knew that he was the illegitimate child of King Arthur and Morgan. Otherwise, how could he have the reputation of King Arthur? Rebelling against grounds no longer fit for king.And only now did he know that Lancelot succeeded in robbing Queen Guinevere, but at the cost of killing a dozen round table knights!Obviously he said that the Knights of the Round Table could not be responsible for guarding the execution ground, and now Artoria had to personally lead the troops to hunt down Lancelot, and Mordred took this opportunity to start a rebellion.From this point of view, the explosion of the Queen's and Lancelot's love affair is also part of the whole plan!Even including him leaving the royal city!

Who is it that can get in touch with the queen, get in touch with Mordred, calculate his departure, and join hands with Morgan in the end!There are very few people who can meet these conditions, so few...

Yan Bai turned his head slowly almost mechanically: "It's you?"

Under the firelight, Vivienne's face was half hidden in the shadow and half illuminated. She looked at Yan Bai expressionlessly: "What?"

"Is it you who helped Morgan contact Mordred and revealed the queen's love affair?"

Vivienne did not speak, and acquiesced.

Yan Bai was completely enraged, but what he couldn't figure out was why, Vivian's reason for doing this was why she had no reason at all!The kingdom was in chaos, the queen fled, Arturia usually had a good relationship with her, she didn't... wait, the kingdom was in chaos?

The simplest reasons are often the easiest to ignore.

"What do you want to do?" Yan Bai heard his own voice was extremely dry and harsh.

"Didn't you already guess it?" Weiwei stared at him calmly, and said softly, "Why do I want England to be in chaos? Because only when this behemoth is in chaos, small neighboring countries like us can take the opportunity to develop."

"...You have been in Baicheng for more than ten years."

"So what? I will always be the princess of the Kingdom of Pepon." Vivienne pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a mocking smile, "And there is another very important reason, I am here for the one I love."

"The person you love is..." I can't be with him, I have someone I like very early on, and for him to disturb England, that person is...

"It's my brother, the current king of Pepon." Vivienne said a shocking fact calmly.
