Chapter 18: Strange (Please Collect and Recommend)
Kai first comforted Gwen and reassured her. After she calmed down, Kai began to ask questions.
"Gwen, don't think about anything else first. Now, I need you to carefully recall whether Morgana has encountered any strange things or strange people in the past few days. There is no need to rush to answer, you think about it first. Recall the memories carefully, don’t be in a hurry, anything a little bit out of the ordinary will do, no matter how small it is.”
Kai asked warmly.
At this time, Merlin was also a little curious and wanted to follow him secretly, hoping to hear what Kai was talking about. But just as he was about to move, he was grabbed by Arthur.
"What are you doing?! This is Morgana's room! I can bring you here to the limit. If you go in again, Uther will be unhappy." Arthur was also very distressed. Arthur always felt that Merlin likes Morgana. Although this was true, Merlin never admitted it. But Arthur just decided that Merlin was interested in Morgana. Merlin is Arthur's friend. If a friend likes someone, Arthur should support him.
But the problem is that it would be a different matter if Merlin's crush was Morgana. Not to mention, Morgana and Kai are childhood sweethearts and they are in love with each other. The identity gap between Morgana and Merlin alone determines that this secret love has no future. The best outcome is that Merlin is beaten half to death by Uther and Kai and thrown out of Camelot, and more importantly, Arthur doesn't know how to help him.
After all, one is his father and the other is his brother. →Although Arthur doesn't like to distinguish who is more important to him, but...the reality is always helpless. No matter how good his relationship with Merlin is, he cannot surpass his own family.
When Arthur saw Merlin trying to enter the room, he thought Merlin was worried about Morgana, after all, she was his crush. Now that Morgana is like this, Arthur himself is also very sad, but he still comforts him firmly: "Listen Merlin, although the truth hurts, it is impossible for you and Morgana. She already has Kai, And... in short, what you have to do is forget her , you can find something better, although I don’t think there is anyone who can compare to Morgana, but you know, people should always face reality and be more open-minded. Also, don’t show your little thoughts. Come, otherwise I can't guarantee what Kai and Uther will do."
Merlin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Arthur's comfort, although his words were generally correct. But the problem is that no one can comfort people like Arthur. If you don't know, you think Arthur is despising and sarcastic Merlin!
In short, because of Arthur's kindness, Merlin could only stand still. This is the palace, and Merlin is just a servant. He can walk to the princess's door, which is already extremely gracious, although the Celts don't care as much as ancient China did Men and women are on guard against each other, but it is not allowed to let a male servant enter the princess's room when the princess is lying on the bed.
On Wenger's side, Kai's voice seemed to have magic power, which stabilized Wenger's mood a lot, and she began to recall recent events according to Kai's request. But she recalled it several times and found nothing strange. →
These days, Morgana has been busy taking care of Arthur and Kay. She has not gone out at all. The people she sees and the things she does are no different from usual. But now that Morgana is like this, nothing will happen. So Wenger also started to reminisce again and again. Although she didn't know what the use was, as long as she could help Morgana, she was willing to do it, even in small things.
Seeing that Wenger was thinking, Arthur did not interrupt, and he began to look at Morgana's room. Kai was more familiar with this room than anyone else, so he quickly looked it over. After all, Morgana was not a girl who liked luxury. Most of the things in her room were items that Kai was familiar with, and there were very few new ones.
Perhaps the only thing that has changed is the bouquet of lilies on Morgana's bedside. It looked like they were just replaced yesterday, and the flowers are in full bloom. Morgana likes flowers, and Kai knows this very well, so he doesn't think there's anything strange about it.
But just when Kai was about to go and see if anyone had tampered with other things, Wenger suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I thought of it, it's a flower! It's a flower!"
Wenger was a little too engrossed in his thoughts, so he didn't control the volume and let everyone else look over. Including King Uther!
"Flowers? What flowers? And, Wenger, what are you doing? Morgana is sick and she needs to recuperate! You can't yell here!" King Uther was in a bad mood, especially when Wenger took the surprise The tone made him even more angry!
"As a maid, you failed to take good care of the princess. You were derelict in your duty. Now you are yelling at the princess's bed! You are simply guilty of an unforgivable crime! Guard!"
King Uther was furious, and Wenger apparently found a channel for him to vent his anger. As a tyrant, it was not unusual for him to kill a lot of people when he was angry. If the guards really take Wenger away, Wenger's fate will definitely not be better.
"Wait!" Just when Arthur and Merlin were about to plead for Wenger, Kai stood up first. "My king, Wenge didn't mean it, but because I was asking her for some important clues, so... please forgive her, after all, your majesty will make the mind of a low-status maid like her go blank. This is very important to her." It won't do any good to find out why Morgana is acting this way, so please calm down."
Kai's words immediately calmed Uther down. In particular, Kai's reason was to find out why Morgana became like this, which directly hit the point that King Uther was most concerned about. This is also the difference between Kai, Arthur and Morgana. In the Celtic court, no one seemed to teach them the art of speaking. For example, if they felt that something was not done well, they would point it out directly to their faces.
Well, this is very upright, but very stupid. King Uther is not only their father, but also a king. Regardless of whether your motivation for pointing out the king's mistakes in person is good or bad, if you let a king admit that he was wrong in front of others... Isn't this equivalent to stripping the king's face in disguise?
Even ordinary people would be ashamed and angry when others pointed out their mistakes without any tact, let alone a king.
Of course, Arthur and Morgana would not have any bad intentions towards King Uther, but they often only thought that they were right, but never considered King Uther's face. This behavior is simply stupid. Some things can be achieved in a better way, why choose the least efficient and worst way?
As soon as Kai said this, he praised King Uther and advised him tactfully. King Uther immediately felt relieved. Why did he insist on his momentary impulse?
After being persuaded by Kai, King Uther did not let the guards come over again. Instead, he immediately grasped the key point and asked: "Do you mean that Morgana's illness is strange?"
"Of course!" Kai had actually determined in the first second of entering Morgana's room that Morgana's illness was definitely man-made, and it was caused by magic! As mentioned earlier, Kai is a good wizard. Although he is not in the same way as the Celtic wizard, some things are the same regardless of the nation's magic, such as curses!
Every curse carries deep malice, which is the same everywhere, and Kai found this malice in Morgana. She was cursed. But Kai is not a Celtic magician after all, and it is obviously difficult to solve this problem without making a fuss. Moreover, curses are always troublesome. Kai is not sure whether he will cause any harm to Morgana if he really takes action, so he wants to find out who is behind it through investigation, so that he can solve the problem from the source.
Anyway, no matter what kind of curse it is, finding the person who cast the curse is the most direct and clear way.
