Chapter 93: Concealment (Please Collect and Recommend)
But soon, Kai threw these messy things aside. Although the appearance of the rolling girl was extremely ordinary in his opinion, and her mouth was even a little crooked, he couldn't help but think that Arthur might like this? In short, how the relationship between the rolling girl and Arthur happened was no longer important. →
What Kai had to do now was to strangle this relationship completely! It just so happened that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between Arthur and the rolling girl. In this case, let this misunderstanding continue.
Kai looked at the rolling girl and kept thinking about how to deal with this girl. Kill her? Kai couldn't do it. After all, Kai was a person who had received modern education and didn't care much about prejudice. If it weren't for this special environment, Kai would not care about Arthur's love at all. Pretend not to know? That's even more impossible. Although Kai himself didn't care about prejudice, the problem was that this society cared!
This is a feudal society! No matter how open-minded Kai was, he couldn't influence others. A prince married a servant, the daughter of a blacksmith? If other nobles knew about this, it would be strange if they didn't quarrel. The royal families of other countries would probably laugh their heads off.
Moreover, Kai really couldn't speak about this matter. Otherwise, it would be hard to say. Oh, you, Sir Kai, married a princess, but let your brother, the crown prince of the kingdom, marry a servant? What do you have in mind? People who don't know would think you deliberately disgusted Arthur.
In short, the best solution to this matter is to let this relationship end!
Thinking of this, Kai immediately put away his face and said with a smile: "Gwen, Gawain is a good person, and you two are a good match. → But since you are already together, you can't be a servant anymore, which will make Gawain laughed at by others. So, you don't have to go to Morgana's place. I will let Morgana arrange a decent job for you. You should go home and have a good rest for a few days, and take care of Gawain by the way."
Although Kai didn't say anything about Arthur, the meaning between the lines was very obvious. He wanted to whitewash this matter, so that it had never even existed. Kai had already said that the rolling girl and Gawain were a couple! Naturally, the rolling girl had nothing to do with Arthur!
Kai even drove the rolling girl out of the palace. Although the words sounded nice, in order to find her a more respectable job, the actual meaning was the same. Both Merlin and the rolling girl could hear this. Even Kai had deliberately emphasized at the end that the rolling girl should "take care of Gawain", which was obvious.
The rolling girl opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that she was powerless to refute it. What could she say? Oppose Kai's decision? Then what position and identity did she oppose? Have you ever seen a maid who could resist the order of a royal family member?
As for the matter between her and Arthur, she had no position to oppose it. She knew the difference between their identities, and she knew that if she dared to resist in this matter, Kai would definitely not be as easy to talk to as he is now. →
Merlin was a little anxious on the side. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Kai's eyes, he dared not say anything.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Kai looked at the two children and suddenly felt like he was a bad guy. He was so idle that he broke up a couple. Shouldn't that be something that only old-fashioned people would do? He was a modern young man after all, and he never thought that he would do such a thing one day.
But for the sake of Arthur and his mother, Kai had to do it. Once King Uther found out about this, he would not be as gentle as Kai, but would just reassign a job for his mother and let her leave the palace. King Uther would only let his mother die directly, so that Arthur would completely give up the idea.
Facing Kai's question, Merlin and his mother didn't say anything.
"Since you're fine, go home early. Gawain is still waiting for you." After that, he let his mother leave.
After he said that, his mother hesitated, she still left. She didn't know what to do, or she couldn't do anything. Merlin also hesitated and planned to leave with his mother. But Kai stopped him.
"Merlin, where are you going?"
"I...Gawain is injured, Gwen asked me to help him." Merlin said a little guilty.
"Oh...wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
So Merlin was left alone, standing in front of Kai, Merlin looked uneasy.
After the rolling girl walked away, Kai spoke.
"Merlin...you knew about this a long time ago, right?"
"I..." Merlin naturally knew it a long time ago, he even knew what Kai meant by asking this, he was blaming Merlin for not stopping this. But Merlin didn't think there was anything wrong with this. In Merlin's opinion, the rolling girl was a good girl, she deserved Arthur. And the two of them were truly in love.
Kai saw Merlin's expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking, because if he changed his angle, Kai might also think so.
"Everyone has their own responsibilities. You have them, I have them, and Arthur has them too. Do you understand? No one can act recklessly."
Merlin understood what Kay meant, but he disagreed. He didn't think Arthur's responsibilities had anything to do with his love life.
"This has nothing to do with what happened between them. Why can't Arthur choose the girl he likes? Gwen is a good girl and she deserves Arthur. You should understand Arthur and encourage him. Instead of breaking them up."
"Encourage? Merlin, do you understand what responsibilities Arthur bears? If he wants to be king, then he must give up some things for the sake of this kingdom. Can you let your subjects accept that their queen is a maid? Can you let all the noble ministers accept that the queen they are loyal to is a commoner who is even lower than them? Can you let the royal families of other kingdoms accept a vulgar woman standing between them?"
Kai's words were very harsh, even he himself felt harsh, because it was completely contrary to the education he had received. But this is reality. Because this era does not allow such marriages, at least most people cannot accept such a combination.
"I didn't say that the relationship between Arthur and Gun Niang was wrong, but it must be inappropriate. Can you imagine what King Uther would do if he knew about this? It would only hurt both of them! You are their friend, what you should do is to avoid hurting both of them."
Merlin opened his mouth, he wanted to refute, but reason told him that Kai was right. But he still refused to accept it. He just felt that it was too sad that Arthur couldn't even choose the person he truly loved.
"Can't you persuade him? King Uther listens to you the most. As long as you support Arthur, there will be a chance!"
Kai glanced at Merlin, not knowing what to say to him. Is he really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?
"Enough, if you don't want Arthur to completely lose his inheritance, don't say such stupid things anymore. Also, I don't want them to have any contact anymore. This is for their own good. Do you understand?"
If King Uther was so easy to persuade, he wouldn't be King Uther. Besides, even if another king came, he would never agree to this. This is simply a joke of royal traditions and aristocratic rules. Any king with a normal mind would not agree to this.
