Chapter 48: Secret (Please Collect and Recommend)
Seeing Niwei's behavior, Kai smiled.
"How is that possible! You are still so young, beautiful and radiant." Although Kai was still joking with Niwei, he was still vigilant. His eyes were always fixed on Niwei and he did not put down the long sword in his hand.
Looking at Kai like this, Nivi felt a little uneasy. I remember that the cute kid who stalked and acted coquettishly around me back then was actually confronting me with a long sword in hand today.
"Oh? Is this how you welcome me?" Niwei pointed to the sword in Kai's hand with a half-smile.
"Oh——! This is a misunderstanding, yes, it is a misunderstanding. You should be able to understand, after all, you came to the king's room in the middle of the night without any notification. This is not a good habit." Kai said pretentiously.
Of course he wasn't trying to be a mouthful here, Kai wasn't that free yet, he was just stalling for time. There was no way Kai could take down Nivi without using any supernatural powers. Although it was a long time ago, Kai still remembered how Nivi used to deal with her enemies.
Sure enough, Kai delayed for a while, and the shouts of soldiers came from the door. It seemed that the guards in the castle did not neglect their duties.
Nivi looked toward the door, then looked at Kai with a very teasing look.
Kai spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is no way, your power is too strong. I am not confident that I can protect Uther's safety while taking you down, so I can only use this small trick. →"
Niwei was not angry, but said in a very gratified and resentful tone: "Yes, my little boy has grown up and already knows how to use tricks on his favorite sister. Once upon a time, that little boy was still She keeps saying that she wants to marry me when she grows up.”
Kai twitched the corner of his mouth, he never said such words. These were all the boring adults at the time jokingly saying that he was already running around when he traveled through time, so how could he say such retarded words?
"I'm sorry...but if you are willing to sit down and talk calmly, I think the atmosphere between us will be great, what do you think?"
Kai had no intention of commenting on who was right or wrong about what happened back then. Both Uther and Nivi had their own reasons. Uther did want an heir, but he never asked Nivi and Queen Igraine to help him give birth to an heir. But at that time, almost all of Camelot hoped that King Uther would have a direct blood heir as soon as possible. This was related to the stability of the entire Camelot. Otherwise, after King Uther passed away, Camelot would definitely have an heir. War is something no one wants to see.
One can imagine how much pressure Uther and Igrain were facing at that time. →Especially because they actually adopted Kai as their adopted son, the situation became even worse. No one wants to see a person who does not have royal blood at all become the king's heir. This makes many nobles who are related to King Uther very dissatisfied, because even if they want to find an heir, they should be from those with royal blood. Find it among the nobles.
So under this huge pressure, Uther and Igraine had a difficult time. Especially Igraine, she loves King Uther and is of course willing to give him a child. At the same time, many nobles have already sent suggestions to King Uther. If the queen cannot produce an heir, they suggest changing the queen.
Under such double pressure, Igraine found Nivi. Nivi saw King Uther tortured to death by the matter of his heir, and wanted to help Uther, so the two women used magic behind Uther's back.
When it became an established fact, King Uther could only accept it. If King Uther's biggest fault in this matter was that he did not stop it after discovering it. He didn't expect the price to be so high at the time, and it was also because of this that he reacted so heavily afterwards.
And what about Niwei? She was also wrong. She knew that magical birth would have a price, but she hid it.
Perhaps in her opinion, Igraine was benevolent, and it was her choice even if she paid the price. Of course, it wouldn't be realistic if there weren't some other reasons involved. After all, Nivi did have a good impression of King Uther at the time, and she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to ascend to power.
Anyway, from her point of view, there is no loss at all. If Igraine is fine, she will naturally be grateful to Uther. If Igraine burps, then everyone gets what they need. The logic is perfect!
It's a pity that some things are so evil. Igraine really died, but her idea of ascending to the throne was shattered, and she turned against King Uther.
Therefore, it is really difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong. It's better to sit down and talk. If we can come up with a result that everyone accepts, then everyone will be happy.
"impossible!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Unfortunately, Kai was still wishful thinking. In the past twenty years, the two sides have been engaged in a blood feud. Unless one side truly falls, no one will give up.
At this moment, the Knights of Lyon had already rushed into the king's bedroom with a large number of knights and soldiers.
Seeing these knights, Nivi shook her head.
"It seems that the old memories are over and it's time for me to leave. However, Uther, I will definitely take back what you owe me!"
After saying that, Nivi turned into a gust of wind and disappeared. Those knights were still planning to attack, but in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared without a trace.
…
Niwei made a big fuss this time and alarmed many people. Arthur and Morgana both rushed over, but were soon driven away by King Uther with an extremely tough attitude. He didn't want his two children to know what happened back then. There were too many things involved.
In the end, only Kai, Gaius and King Uther were left in the room.
Gaius hesitated to speak while helping Kai treat his burned palms.
"What do you want to say, Gaius!" King Uther noticed Gaius's strange behavior and asked a little impatiently. Today's events had exhausted him physically and mentally, and he no longer had much patience to maintain his grace.
"...You can't hide the truth forever. Maybe you should talk to Arthur and let him know the truth."
Gaius said sincerely that from the moment Tristan's body was desecrated, things developed in the direction they least wanted to see. Gaius felt that since this was the case, there was no point in continuing to hide the truth.
"No! Only the three of us know about this. Arthur never needs to know the truth! Never!"
King Uther categorically refused. He could not let Arthur know the truth. This would have extremely serious consequences for him, Arthur, and the entire Camelot. He could not let this happen.
"But the boy has grown up and become a man. Have you forgotten? You just canonized him two days ago! It's time for him to know the truth. You can't hide it forever, Uther." Gaius still hopes Can convince King Uther.
