Chapter 49: Too Much Involvement (Please Collect and Recommend)

"I am the king! You don't need to tell me what to do!"

King Uther has never been a person who likes to listen to other people's opinions. To put it bluntly, he is stubborn and self-willed. →This character is very bad, but in feudal society, most rulers have problems, which is not uncommon. And the key is that he is the boss, he is stubborn and self-willed, and no one dares to say anything.

At least Gaius doesn't dare.

"Your Majesty, of course it's up to you to decide what to do."

King Uther stared at Gaius.

"You swore that you would never reveal the secret of Arthur's birth. I warn you not to break your oath."

"Very well," (Yes, Your Majesty)

Gaius said disappointedly.

"Okay, Gaius. Don't say anything. Go back first. I will have a good chat with Uther. You go to rest. Things haven't come to that point yet." Although King Uther always looks serious and expressionless, he is actually a very emotional person. Once he gets angry, he will always do something that he regrets. Kai didn't want his decades-long friendship with Gaius to go wrong, so he quickly interrupted and asked Gaius to leave first.

Gaius looked at King Uther who was still glaring at him, and nodded helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go first. Remember, don't let the wound get wet in the next two days, and it will heal in two days." After saying that, Gaius packed up his medicine box and turned to leave the king's bedroom.

After Gaius left, King Uther's originally angry expression also stopped, and he sat down on the chair tiredly, looking exhausted.

Kai didn't talk to King Uther immediately, but picked up the wine jug on the table and poured himself a glass of wine to moisten his throat.

King Uther didn't speak either, but kept rubbing his face, trying to calm himself down.

About ten minutes later, Kai finally spoke.

"I think Gaius is right, Uther. Arthur should know some truth. You can't always treat him as a child." Kai actually supports Gaius, but King Uther was too excited just now. If he adds fuel to the fire, with King Uther's fucked-up temper, it might really end in a bad mood. That's very unnecessary, so Kai will wait for King Uther to slowly calm down before speaking his mind.

King Uther looked up at Kai in surprise. He didn't expect that even his most trusted child would oppose him.

"Why do you say that too? Kai! Others don't know what kind of impact the truth will have if it is made public. Don't you know? If other people know the secret of Arthur's birth, then what I have done for so many years will become a joke! The whole Camelot will be shaky!"

Don't think this is just a small matter. On the contrary, this matter is very big, so big that King Uther doesn't want to reveal this secret even if he dies. In the past 20 years, King Uther has done the most to eliminate magic. → For this, he didn't hesitate to kill countless innocent people.

For example, if a wizard is found in an inn, then the whole inn, from the boss to the waiter, to the guests, will be arrested and killed! For another example, if a family is found to be a wizard, then his neighbors will most likely be arrested, because you have lived with the wizard for such a long time, but you didn't report it, which means you are covering up!

In short, under King Uther's iron fist, there are really too many unjust, false and wrong cases. But because magic has indeed caused a lot of disasters, people can only endure it. King Uther has a righteousness in this regard.

But if the secret of Arthur's birth is spread, everything will be different.

People don't care what King Uther thought at the beginning. They will only think very simply that when you, King Uther, kill people related to magic, you always kill the wrong ones rather than let them go, but why do you let your son go? Your son was also created by magic! He deserves to die!

In this way, King Uther's previous righteousness will be completely shattered!

And this is just one aspect. In those days, people were not as powerful as in later generations. If King Uther really abandoned his moral integrity and used the army to suppress him, the people would have no choice, after all, he was a tyrant.

But there was a group of people who were not so easy to deal with, that was the entire aristocracy.

The entire aristocracy of Camelot would follow Uther's back and put their heads on their belts to fight against magic, because they believed King Uther's words and believed that magic had affected their rule over Camelot!

But now, they suddenly discovered that Arthur was born with the help of magic! What do they think? The better ones would only think that Uther was unfair, and the really dark ones would consider what would happen after Arthur came to power.

Because strictly speaking, Arthur should be in the same group with those wizards. When Arthur came to power, what would he do if he wanted to avenge his freak friends?

And there is another very important reason, that is power.

Once the legitimacy of Arthur's heir is destroyed, he will lose the right to inherit the throne, which is a huge good news for some ambitious people. What's more serious is that this will make many nobles who originally had no such intentions start to become unstable.

In short, this matter has a huge impact, so big that the Pendragon family may lose their rule over Camelot!

In this case, it's impossible for King Uther to agree!

Of course, this is not the most important thing. King Uther has been tough all his life. These are all small matters. At most, he will fight another war. This is not a big deal for King Uther. At the beginning, many people were unwilling to go to war with the weird and unpredictable wizards and magical creatures, but King Uther still went all the same. This courage is not a big deal for him.

What really makes him feel hesitant is Arthur.

If Arthur knew the truth of the year, what would he think? How would he view his father?

And some things really can't be explored. The more you explore, the more trouble you will get!

Once Arthur's secret is exposed, many things that started with this may be dug out by others. For example, these things will involve another person, that is Morgana.

Morgana's side is even more difficult.

In any case, King Uther still has an excuse to explain to Arthur what happened in the past.

But what about Morgana?

Here we have to spoil Morgana's life experience.

Morgana is King Uther's biological daughter. It has been mentioned in the previous article, but few people know who Morgana's mother is. In short, Morgana's mother was King Uther's lover. Before King Uther and Queen Igraine got married, they had conceived Morgana. And the father Morgana had always thought of was just a scapegoat...

This is not the key point. The key point is that Morgana's mother is a witch...

And she was killed by King Uther himself...

This matter is very tricky. If Morgana knew that Uther killed her mother who could do magic and had been hiding the fact that he was her biological father, she would have felt that she was adopted and lived under someone else's roof for many years. Uther did this just to vent his anger and preserve his reputation as a king.

These things added up, it was reasonable for Morgana to cut King Uther into pieces.

And the beginning of all this was Arthur's birth, so King Uther could not and dared not let this matter be exposed, otherwise his family would be destroyed.
