Chapter 30: Self-Righteous (Please Collect and Recommend)

Kai's nonsense made Morgana happily put on the ring and swear that she would never take it off again. →When she put on the ring, Morgana felt a sense of relief, as if some heavy pressure had been lifted. But Morgana didn't care, and attributed it to the fact that she was in a good mood.

The two of them were so sweet and stimulating to the three singles next to them. Especially Arthur, he never knew that his brother had such a romantic side. He always thought that his brother was a copy of Uther, the only difference was that Kai was more kind. Apart from that, the two were really similar, stubborn, boring, domineering, and determined.

Finally, Morgana remembered that there were other people in the room, so she put away her little bird-like posture awkwardly, pulled Kai to the dining table, and talked about business while eating.

After helping Kai prepare dinner, Arthur, Kai, and Morgana started to eat dinner. After a while, Morgana, under Arthur's repeated gestures, took the lead in breaking the silent warm time.

"Kai, did you drive away a child named Lancelot today? Can you tell me why?" Morgana put down her knife and fork, took a sip of wine, and then pretended to ask casually, just like chatting about family matters.

Kai did not rush to answer, but slowly ate the last bite of beef short ribs. It must be said that the chefs in the palace are quite good, and Kai can also cook. After all, since his parents died of illness one after another, he has lived alone most of the time, so he often cooks for himself. He is really talented in this, which makes him often self-indulgent. If he doesn't work as a policeman one day, he can live well as a chef and open a restaurant.

But he can only cook Chinese food, and he is not very good at Western food. For example, this kind of beef short ribs can't taste like the chefs in the palace. In this era of extreme lack of seasonings, this chef can make beef short ribs so soft and delicious, which really requires effort.

After eating the beef short ribs, Kai wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then looked at Morgana with a smile. This is a habit brought by Kai from his previous life. He doesn't like to talk to people with something in his mouth, because it's impolite. He must finish the food in front of him and put away the tableware before talking.

"Since you asked this, I believe you must know what's going on, right? You are not Arthur, you won't be so stupid to come to me without knowing anything." In this regard, Morgana is indeed better than Arthur. Of course, in Kai's opinion, Morgana is actually limited. Of course, this does not mean that Morgana is not smart. On the contrary, Morgana is very smart, but she lacks experience. She is naturally not as good as Kai, an old man. To put it bluntly, King Uther protects them too well, which is a bit like a greenhouse flower.

Arthur's eyes widened immediately when he heard Kai say this. Although Kai said he was a fool since he was a child, Arthur didn't think so. He always thought he was very smart. It's just that this time he was deceived by his closest person. Thinking of this, he glared at Merlin fiercely.

Morgana heard about Lancelot's situation, and she thought Lancelot was an upright and kind person who deserved a knight's title. So she was not ready to give up. This was also a common problem for greenhouse flowers. They were easy to trust people. To put it bluntly, they were too confident. They thought that if they were good to others, others would not let them down. Just like Arthur now, although he knew that Merlin had lied to him. But after Merlin explained the reason, he still chose to believe Merlin again. Because he still believed that Merlin would not have bad intentions towards him. "I know that Lancelot's behavior is very inappropriate, but there is a reason! His hometown was destroyed by the northern barbarians, and all the people in his hometown died, so he wanted to become a knight. And Lancelot's own talent is enough. We can't deny him because of his background. It's unfair to him! I think we should give him a chance. At least, let him try. Kai!" Morgana took Kai's hand and said with a little sweetness in her voice. It's a bit like acting like a spoiled child. Kai gently kneaded Morgana's little hand, did not respond to her, but looked at Merlin and Wenger. "Merlin, did you forge Lancelot's certificate of nobility?"

Merlin knew Kai would ask this question. He had planned it well. Once Kai asked, he would stand up and admit it, and take all the responsibility on himself. But when facing Kai, his courage melted away quickly like snowflakes under the sun. Although he didn't shirk responsibility, he couldn't be justified. He could only stand there at a loss, hesitating and unable to say a complete sentence.

Kai had interrogated at least 300 people in his previous life, so he always had a temperament that could turn everyone into a criminal for questioning.

"And you, Miss Wenger, you also played a role in it, otherwise Morgana would not agree to persuade me so quickly even if she didn't know anything." Merlin had only known Morgana for a few days, at most a few months, and they hadn't had much contact during the few months they knew each other. If it was so easy to agree to Merlin's request, how stupid it would be.

This request violated at least three Camelot decrees!

"I..." Wenger was also a little at a loss.

Kai still didn't hold on, but turned his head to look at Arthur. "It's your turn next, Your Highness! What do you want to do? Or do you know what you are doing?"

"I...I...of course I know!" Arthur's psychological quality is much stronger than those two, at least he dares to defend himself. "I just... think Lancelot is a talent. It would be a pity to drive him away like this. I think we can give him a chance. Anyway, there are so many nobles who don't have any talent. Let them become knights. It’s Camelot’s shame, so why don’t we try Lancelot? Origin is not everything!”

Originally, Arthur was prepared to be scolded or even beaten. Unexpectedly, Kai was not angry, but nodded appreciatively.

"GODD, it's very good of you to think so."

As a young man who was born and raised under a red flag, Kai naturally scorned those class distinctions. A person's ability is always the most important, and his background is secondary. Of course, Kai would not be naive enough to completely deny the advantages brought by birth. After all, some things are very realistic.

Arthur was simply ecstatic. Kay was like many parents from traditional families who rarely praised their children. So Arthur was rarely praised like this by Kai.

"Then you agree? That's great..."

Before Arthur could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Kai. "What did I agree to?"

"Didn't you mean..."

"Your idea is correct, but what does this have to do with Lancelot?" Kai's attitude became cold. "I praised you for being smart just now, why have you become stupid again!"

Arthur felt that Kai's attitude changed faster than flipping through a book, and he didn't know what to say.

"Do you understand clearly what I just said? Does that Lancelot want a chance? Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. He can tell the truth. Yes, knights must be of noble origin. But No one ever said he couldn't become a noble, right?"

Although the classes in the Celtic countries are very solid, it's not that there are no opportunities for advancement at all, it's just more difficult.

"Indeed, it is difficult, but if he says it directly, then with your help, as long as you are capable enough, will it be difficult to make some achievements? Who will stop it?" It is indeed difficult for a commoner to become a noble, but If Lancelot is really capable and Arthur supports him, the difficulty can plummet. Although it is still difficult, the chance of comparing with others is already very high.

King Uther is indeed very rigid, but no matter how rigid he is, he will not be unkind to his son without breaking the law, right? Besides, if Lancelot is really that good, will Kai really stand by and watch?

How is that possible!

Once he accumulates a certain amount of merit, coupled with Arthur and Kay's lobbying, it is very possible for Lancelot to become a lord.

King Uther is also a man who loves talents.

"But what did Lancelot do? He used deception! He chose the shortcut of getting something for nothing! He was fooling the laws of Camelot! And what about you? You are the heir of Camelot and the beneficiary of the law. You are a natural protector of the law, but you actually undermine the foundation of your rule by interceding for an obvious fraudster? Do you know what you have in mind?"

"And you, Merlin! You forged your noble identity certificate, then deceived your prince, and then deceived your monarch. Now that you have been discovered, you don't even know how to repent. Instead, you continue to encourage Arthur to go down the wrong path. Going further? I originally thought you were just young and ignorant, so I didn't intend to pursue it before, but now it seems that I need to change my opinion, guard!"

As he spoke, Kai slapped the table and shouted for the guards.

At this time, Merlin also regained consciousness, and he shouted: "I just think it's unfair, Lancelot..."

Kai was very disappointed at this time. He originally thought that the legendary Merlin was a wise man, but now it seems that he is just a self-righteous kid!

"Fair? Do you think it's unfair? What about your deception? Is that fair? If you want Lancelot to get a chance, you can just say it openly! As long as he is really as good as you say, He had a chance! But how did you do it? You forged the documents and deceived Arthur. Is this fair to those who also want to compete with the knights? Are the others in the title fair? Moreover, do you think your deception can be concealed?"

"If you don't tell me, the Grand Master will know the details of this family. What are you going to do then? Let the Grand Master not perform his duties? Prevent the Grand Master from telling the king the truth? Okay, even if you can convince the Grand Master, then Lausanne What will Lord Bea do? Lord Lausanne's family is not dead! What will you do if they hear about it? Do you want others to recognize this non-existent fifth son?"

"You came to me and screamed unfairness with a completely untenable reason? Then tell me, where is your fairness? What's even more frightening is that you actually took advantage of Arthur again and again. After the matter was exposed, you again tempted Arthur to work for your so-called fairness without repentance, and even broke the rules. Under the premise of harming his interests... How can I believe you! You completely put your thoughts above Arthur! You never even thought about the impact it would have on Arthur, if everything goes as you think. If the wish is carried out, what will happen to Arthur if it is finally exposed? Just like this, what good influence can you bring to Arthur? "

At this time, the guard also knocked on the door and came in.

"Throw him into the dungeon! No one is allowed to let him out without my order." After saying that, Kai asked the guards to take the distraught Merlin away. Arthur could only stand there anxiously. He wanted to stop him, but he knew Kai's personality, which was exactly the same as King Uther's! If you stop him at this time, it will only make things worse. Kai is tougher than King Uther in this regard. King Uther will still consider that Arthur is his son and will be soft-hearted, but Kai will not!

Maybe Kai will really draw his sword and chop off Merlin's head!

"Okay, Arthur, tell me now, where is that Lancelot?"

Arthur was also disturbed by Kai's preaching at this time.

"He... he left. Merlin and I tried to keep him, but he felt that he was not qualified to stay, so he left... We originally wanted to convince you and then chase him back..."

"Humph! He still has a little shame, otherwise what is waiting for him is my long sword!" Kai was in a better mood at this time. Just now, Kai really planned to kill Lancelot. Because Kai finally remembered where he had heard this name before.

This Lancelot was the one who gave King Arthur the Hat of Forgiveness!

(When I read the legend of Merlin, I always felt annoyed that Merlin always committed suicide. Although he always had good intentions, he always messed things up. So the way he handled it here was completely out of the author's own resentment)
