Radiant Enemy

The king finally woke up, and a crisis of civil strife that might have dragged the entire kingdom into the quagmire was finally eliminated.

Everything was developing according to the plan set by Hilgner. On the contrary, he, the king, had no work other than solving some problems and approving documents.

When he was free for a long time, Hilgner sat blankly in his bedroom, not knowing what to do.

If it was before, he would probably go to a nearby city with Cu Chulainn to hide his identity and visit privately to see if any lords and nobles are making trouble, or take the army to a place where there are monsters and monsters. Chu Lin likes fighting powerful enemies the most, and Hilgna can also train troops by the way.

Therefore, if the rumors are true, they often return home with the head and loot of the monster.

At that time, a grand banquet will be held, and the people in the city will spontaneously burn torches and candle oil, illuminating the city as if it were day.

Everyone was singing and dancing, sprinkled flower petals and fine wine on the troops entering the city, and welcomed the return of the king and queen.

Handsome boys and girls would squeeze to the front of the line, waving to their beloved king and queen, and the first knight, hoping that if they were lucky, they would respond.

And sometimes, when Cu Chulainn was busy training new knights, Dilmudo would take Hilgna to a certain place to check the newly discovered edible plants, or gallop with him to the coast to look into the distance.

Hilgnar looked at the rolling waves, thinking about how to make a big boat that could cross the sea, while Dilmudo hid himself and looked at him.

But those days can no longer be repeated.

Hilgner opened the parchment that had not been opened for a long time.

Since the last time Arthur wrote words that were almost courtship-like, Hilgner has not opened it again due to various reasons.

The sheepskin book was kept in a safe and safe place, and it was not contaminated with any dust. When Hilgner opened it, he still had the illusion that it was the next day.

He turned to the page of the previous conversation with Arthur, only to find that after the original conversation, a few new lines emerged.

Arthur first apologized tactfully and sincerely to Hilgner, saying that he was just impulsive, that's why he wrote those words, and told Hilgner not to take it to heart.

After a short time, Arthur seemed to find that Hilgna didn't reply to him, so he changed the subject and talked about some interesting things that happened around him, but Hilgna was busy dealing with Connaught's army at that time, almost I haven't opened the parchment, perhaps because of this, Arthur's replies gradually decreased.

Hilgner also felt guilty, no matter what the reason was, he did put Arthur aside for a long time.

He picked up the quill, thought for a while, and wrote down his reply.

And in Great Britain across the sea, snow-white waves hit the cliff, and a few kilometers further inside was the city where the King of Knights was.

At this time, Arthur had completely settled down the surrounding territory after Hilgna won the victory against Connaught's army.

He drove out the Anglo-Saxons who had invaded the land, recruited talents, and his Knights of the Round Table became a place of glory that every teenager wanted to join, and the reputation of the King of Knights spread throughout the land, and was recognized by the people. Praise be feared by enemies.

Unlike another world with a female King Arthur, here the male King Arthur's court magician, Merlin, is a woman.

Although Nightmare can actually be said to be genderless or bisexual, but because Meilin is of mixed race, she still lives according to the gender she was born with.

But even so, Arthur could hear the news that Merlin changed into a male form to tease the girls from time to time in the castle. It was obvious that Aggavin had sternly warned Merlin several times, but she still enjoyed it.

This displeased the Iron Aqgwen, who was in charge of the court laws.

Arthur knew the inside story because, as a nightmare, Merlin needed to feed on intense human emotions to survive. After warning Merlin not to go too far, he began to worry about how to refuse the marriage.

King Arthur complained to this female nightmare with countless lovers when only he and Merlin got along in private: "Everyone is persuading me to marry a wife, which makes me unable to be quiet."

"This is for your own good, so almost all the knights are persuading you, my king. As far as your rule is concerned, I also think it is better for the king to find a queen." Mei Lin wore a gorgeous magic robe, surrounded by The flowers are slowly blooming, and the figure that stands there leisurely is worthy of being called the Magician of Flowers.

"Having a queen also means that you have become an adult man in charge. Although you can no longer use the queen as bait to catch those ambitious princes and lords, it can also bring stability to the country—the current Anglo People have already been beaten to the other side of the Thames by you, and you will not invade Great Britain again in a short time. If the back position is left empty, there will be turmoil in the country/.”

Mei Lin's analysis is logical, and also points out that King Arthur's marriage to a queen is also imminent.

"What's more, if you don't marry a queen, it means that your throne is not guaranteed—well, it doesn't matter if you get angry with me, after all, the king's emotions are delicious."

Meilin saw the anger on Arthur's face and smiled indifferently.

Arthur pursed his lips, suppressing his anger.

"Although loyal words are hard to hear, it doesn't sound very pleasant, but king, no queen means that you have no heir to the throne. Once something happens, those princes and lords will instantly change from docile dogs to greedy wolves. The nation that is built divides and eats."

There was no smile on Mei Lin's face, she just explained the fact calmly with her melodious voice.

"So no matter how much you like your pen pal—please don't rush to deny it, almost every part of your behavior and demeanor is bursting with joy—if another owner of that parchment appears in your In front of you, are you sure you won't woo him?"

Arthur didn't answer. As a king, he might not, but as Arthur who knew Hilgna, he probably would really do what Mei Lin said.

"Assuming that the owner of the parchment is a graceful and powerful female magician, everyone is happy, but if this is the case, Wang, you may have gone to find him yourself?"

Mei Lin pointed out the hesitation in Arthur's heart.

Arthur knew very well that Hilgna was a man. Although he had extraordinary knowledge, Hilgna had confessed to him that he was the son of a merchant.

The reason why he did not go to Hilgna was because he was afraid that once he saw Hilgna, he would not be able to bear the fire of love in his heart that not only did not dissipate over the years, but on the contrary became more and more intense. If you already have a partner, woo him.

This not only violates his chivalry, but also makes Arthur lose Hilgner, a cherished friend...and his sweetheart.

So he chose to stay in Great Britain, stubbornly refusing to marry a wife, and perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart—as long as he was not married, maybe he and Hilgna could still be possible.

"...Do you have a suitable candidate?" Arthur was silent for a long time, and finally asked slowly.

Mei Lin bowed and said softly: "No, my king. This is your wife. Even if you choose one of the girls you don't like, at least you can choose the one that suits you best according to your own will. "

Marrying Guinevere, the daughter of King Liao Dekuan, is the best choice among the girls waiting to be married around King Arthur.

King Liao Dekuan's territory is not large, and he doesn't have many soldiers, but his territory has fertile fields and forests, enough to produce enough food and grass for Arthur's knights and soldiers to eat and drink for a year, and he also has excellent forging technology. The round table that accommodated hundreds of knights was also presented to him by King Liao Dekuan.

Guinevere herself is pure, elegant, considerate, well-known, and has a rich but not powerful mother clan, who can provide Arthur with a solid backing.

Arthur's feelings for Guinevere are very complicated, with guilt and helplessness.

That wedding was extraordinarily grand. King Arthur married the beautiful queen, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

And after Arthur canonized Gawain as his Knight of the Round Table, the atmosphere reached its peak. All the knights and guests were reveling, and fine wine and barbecue were continuously served on the table. Getting drunk without drinking caused everyone in the entire castle to fall into a drunken ecstasy.

King Arthur sat on the throne, with a gentle and elegant smile on his face, and he never refused the drunken toasts of the knights.

If it is normal, the knights who are very close to Arthur, such as Gawain and Bedivere, Lancelot and Aggression, should be able to see that the smile on Arthur's face at this moment is like a mask. on his face.

However, Gawain, Bedivere, and Lancelot were already drunk, and Agravin was in charge of arranging and managing the security patrols inside and outside the city for the king's wedding, in case anyone maliciously took advantage of this happy day. After a toast to King Arthur at the beginning, he hurriedly left the banquet.

The more King Arthur drank, the more sober he became.

Those fine wines didn't have any effect, instead they all turned into water.

Worried about the king's health, Guinevere suggested in a low voice that King Arthur should go back to his room to rest first.

Facing the bright firelight in the hall, Arthur stared carefully at his new wife. He was disappointed to find that even when he was soaked in wine, he was not at all tempted by this beautiful and pure wife.

——Probably because of his heart, from a long time ago, when he was just a brat who was distrusted by most people, he left his heart on another man.

Obviously he has never met him, and obviously the other party already has a partner, but Arthur still loves Hilgner uncontrollably and deeply.

Facing Guinevere's concern, Arthur was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After getting away from the noise and laughter, they came to the too quiet bedroom.

There are many gorgeous and expensive decorations here. Just the bed that is so wide that two grown men can hug and roll around four times, you can see how happy Arthur's knights of the round table are that their king finally married wife.

Guinevere's face was reddish, she looked at Arthur expectantly, that tense and shy face made Arthur's guilt turn into insects gnawing at his heart.

But Arthur couldn't deceive his own heart.

He knelt down on one knee and confessed to his queen: "...I'm sorry, Guinevere, I already have someone I want to spend my life with, but that person is not you—I don't want to have sex with anyone other than him." intimacy."

The beautiful young girl's face turned pale in an instant, and a sense of panic and absurdity rushed into her mind, engulfing her reason, and even made her think that it was just a bad joke, or a terrible nightmare.

"Who is she? Which family's daughter is she? Why didn't the king choose to marry her?" Facing Guinevere's uncontrollable questioning, even though the guilt in his heart had reached its peak, Arthur still looked up and replied seriously: " His name is Hilgna, and he is a businessman. Although he is not noble, he is well-informed and has a gentle heart. When I was young, confused and painful about my responsibilities, he was by my side. , Let me walk out of it, he is the witness that I became the Knight King of Great Britain today."

Guinevere didn't need to ask any more questions, she could hear the deep love from her new husband's face and voice.

She didn't need to ask why Arthur didn't marry Hilgna - after she calmed down, she realized that it was obvious, that Hilgna was a man, and the King of Knights of Great Britain didn't need a The male queen who gave birth will bring turmoil to the country that has finally settled down.

"...I understand." Guinevere said slowly after a long silence.

"I'm sorry for you, Guinevere. I will make you happy within my ability." Arthur smiled wryly. He also knew how ridiculous his request was. On the wedding night, he asked the newlyweds His wife told him that he already had someone he liked, and he was still a man. Even if this behavior was done by himself, he felt that it was too much.

But King Arthur couldn't trick an innocent woman into having offspring, and he couldn't trick himself into having sex with someone he didn't like.

If it is just the act of copulation for the sake of offspring, what is the difference between it and an animal without reason?

Guinevere is indeed the woman chosen by Arthur, she is as kind and pure as King Arthur judged.

Even though her heart was still full of sourness and pain, when she saw Arthur's mask-like expression finally disappearing, she couldn't help asking softly, "Then, that Sir Hilgna, to you?"

Arthur showed a wry smile: "He already has a partner, who is male like him. On the day I learned that he decided to get married, I asked him out of control, if I proposed to him, would he agree. Hope Algner said he would, and maybe it was just a matter of time between me and his partner."

"But... according to your words, His Excellency Hilgna has been with you for a long time, so it's clear that you came first?" Guinevere couldn't help feeling sorry for King Arthur.

Arthur shook his head: "For Hill, I am a long-standing friend, and this friendship has not turned into the soil of love. I can't control myself not to love him, but I can't deceive you either."

Guinevere said anxiously: "But if that Excellency has been unable to reply to you, it would be too unfair to you!"

"Love is inherently unfair, Guinevere." The waves of light in King Arthur's gentle green eyes revealed clarity and tranquility.

"But God will reward those who persevere, and I just need to persist in my own mood."

As Arthur said, God really smiled at him.

Hilgna, who had lost Cu Chulainn and Dilmudor, opened the parchment again and wrote a reply to him.

After learning that Hilgner's partner and that strange subordinate had left him, the corners of Arthur's lips rose a millimeter very quickly, but after realizing that his behavior was very disrespectful, he used his will He tried his best to suppress the smile on his lips, and returned to the serious and upright appearance of the King of Knights.

And when Arthur knew that Hilgna was actually making a big ship, he realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for him to actually see Hilgna, touch Hilgna, and even hug Hilgna.

From Hilgner's description, the giant ship was big enough to accommodate 500 people's life activities, and had huge sails and flexible rudders, which also meant that Hilgner could cross the sea to see Arthur.

And when Hilgna confided to Arthur his boredom, boredom, and lack of energy in his words, Arthur certainly would not let this opportunity pass.

After careful consideration and deliberation, he wrote down his invitation on the parchment: "In this case, why don't you come to Great Britain to relax? I will be your guide and introduce you to my motherland. It just so happens that It will give you a break, and I'd love to see you too."

Hilgner looked at the elegant cursive characters that belonged to Arthur on the sheepskin, and then looked at the empty palace, and was very moved.

Hilgner is now in an empty window period when he has done everything he can and has already laid out the blueprint for the next step, just waiting for the sweet fruits to ripen at this stage.

In the current situation in Ireland, apart from a small group of rebels, ordinary people have been overwhelmed by the food and preferential treatment policies he created. Although the effect is not obvious for the time being, more and more people are flocking to Hilgna .

The rebel army was handed over to Finley. He followed Hilgna to fight everywhere, and unknowingly became an excellent general, and was gradually annihilating the rebel army gathered in the country one by one.

Just as the people of Ulster can let Fergus, the crown prince, give up the throne to Konchufer because Konchufer, who has ruled for a year, makes them live better. The influence and status are increasingly consolidated under the admiration of the people.

The Ulster cavalry even wanted to dedicate the first night of their new wives to Hilgner as their blessing and loyalty to the new king, but Hilgner sternly refused and issued a decree that no more There is such a thing happening that the right to the first night is transferred in spite of the wife's wishes.

"Then if we as wives are voluntary, will you agree?" Some women who regard intercourse with the king as a glorious and sacred thing asked unwillingly.

You must know that the temptation brought by Hilgna's status as a king may not compare to the temptation possessed by his face and those eyes.

Whether it's girls or women, it's like the groupies of later generations, if they want to sleep with Hilgna, even if it's just a one-night stand, that's enough.

"That would not be agreed. In order to prevent more women from being 'voluntarily' offered their first night by other lords and nobles in places I don't know, let me, the king, take the lead."

If there is really Hilgna because there is no manpower.The lords and nobles who had been placed temporarily had their minds twisted, and it was time for Hilgna to harvest.

However, perhaps it was because of Hilgna's eyesight on them, or maybe because of Hilgna's battle that wiped out Connaught's army. At present, all the lords are as quiet as quails. If there is a little trouble, they will be extremely obedient to give food, people, and treasures in exchange for their own safety.

On the contrary, it made Hilgna seem to be bullying.

But it doesn't matter, Hilgna also has a way to take them down.

The land is so big, there are so many people who want to be lords, support another force in that territory, let them fight each other, for the bait that Hilgna hangs in front of their eyes, even if they don't want to bite the bait, they will There are others willing to bite the bait.

When it gets to the point of intensification, even if they don't want to bite the hook, they will have no choice but to jump into it even if they know it's a trap in order not to fall behind.

Hilgner's plan is not meticulous, at most it is just a little bit of scheming in anticipation of the greed of the people and the difference between closeness and intimacy, but for the countries of Ireland, it is enough to make them mess up for a while up.

And now Hilgner is on the way of waiting for the result.

After conquering the entire territory of Ireland, those proud craftsmen had to bow their heads to him, racking their brains to fulfill the strange requirements put forward by Hilgner.

Perhaps the timing was just right. Among the craftsmen, there was a craftsman who could make ships. When Hilgna found out, he not only gave the craftsman a huge reward, but also assigned several apprentices to him.

These apprentices were the first batch of top students to graduate from the school established by Hilgner. If it was the past, these students would be sold in the slave market, and each of them might be worth a thousand pieces of gold.

With the help of these apprentices, coupled with the temptation of money and glory, the model of the ship that Hilgna wanted was actually made within a year.

With the help of the model, coupled with the standardization of weights and measures proposed by Hilgna, it is also easy to make a large ship that can accommodate 500 people in scale.

In addition to those really remote and uninhabited places in the whole of Ireland, Hilgner has also visited all over during this period of time.

Hilgna is already tired of killing poisonous snakes, ferocious beasts, and those obviously not human monsters that occasionally come out of the underworld.

So Hilgner decided to meet Arthur.

But before that, he still has a promise to fulfill.
