What on earth did you hear?
William once wondered if he had heard something wrong, but when he looked at St. Patrick's serious eyes, he suddenly felt confused. What happened in this world during the time when he traveled through the power of the destiny gold coin.
Why was King Arthur captured by the dragon?
"He" is not a princess.
King Arthur is the king, the eternal king of Britain. He has the blood of the red dragon stronger than William. He is the leader of the Knights of the Round Table. Such a legendary strongman, fighting on Avalon, his home ground, not only failed To stop the evil dragon William, he was even snatched away by the evil dragon.
Is King Arthur's power so weak?
William was suspicious, and then asked, "The Evil Dragon Duke is going to marry King Arthur. Could it be that the Evil Dragon Duke William is a woman?"
William has too much confusion in his heart at this time. If the evil William in William's heart dominates his body, then the evil William will directly suggest, "If Duke William is willing, I can marry him."
"Your Majesty, William the Dragon is a man, and Arthur, the Eternal King, is a woman." St. Patrick told the truth. This is the dilemma William is facing now.
As a "Roman" from the Holy Roman Empire, or a German, William was not only a complete foreigner to Britain and Ireland, he was not a nobleman himself, and he did not have royal blood. This is Very deadly.
Duke William was able to claim the throne of England precisely because he was related to the former king of England, St. Edward, and King Harold was able to ascend the throne precisely because he was a native of England, a hereditary nobleman, and had the nobility of being married to the royal family. bloodline.
If William hadn't been chosen by King Arthur and given the surname Pendragon, becoming King Arthur's heir, otherwise it would have been impossible for a foreigner like William, who had neither a blood relationship with the British royal family nor a noble of noble blood, to have Qualifications raise the qualifications for a claim to the British throne.
On the other hand, William's qualifications for the throne of Ireland are not only the last prince of the elves and the successor of King Liam, but also the blessing of the Irish goddess of kingship. Now he has been crowned by St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Now he is even more... After driving away the domineering Norwegians in Ireland, it can be said that the legitimacy of the Irish throne was welcomed by the public and could not be more legitimate.
Therefore, William's current throne of Ireland is secure, and the right to claim the throne of Britain comes from King Arthur. Once King Arthur marries the dragon William, it means that William loses the right to claim the throne of Britain.
St. Patrick analyzed the dilemma he was facing now to William, and explained by the way that the benefits of being the king of Ireland were that although Ireland could not use its national power to fight against both the Principality of Normandy and the Kingdom of Britain, if William could find a suitable ally, then Ireland would be enough to resist. Invasion and armed self-defense are sufficient.
St. Patrick had no ambition to let Ireland dominate. He knew that Ireland was too small. A king as powerful as Caesar or Alexander the Great would not only be a blessing to Ireland, but a disaster for Ireland.
A general's achievements are worth countless sacrifices and blood. However, his family knows his own affairs, and Ireland, a small and poor country, cannot support the king's ambitions, even if it is the empire on which the sun never sets in the future. A component, but that is not the main body, but a part.
"King Arthur is a girl."
William swallowed a sip of saliva in his throat. He had no intention of listening to St. Patrick analyze his current living room for him. How could King Arthur be a girl?
Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible.
"How could King Arthur be a girl? Dear saint, you must be kidding me."
William stared at St. Patrick with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief. King Arthur couldn't be a girl. Others didn't know it, so how could he, as the person involved, still not know it.
King Arthur is a beautiful boy like an angel. Whether it is the first time he comes to the Celtic world of Annon and meets King Arthur in the form of a red dragon, or the second time he meets King Arthur during the tournament, what he sees is, The King Arthur we know is an out-and-out boy.
A wise and wise king, a brave and kind knight, William even believed that if King Arthur appeared in this era, neither Francis nor William himself would be selected by the Holy Sword Dawn to become the brave man to destroy the evil dragon and save the world.
The true brave man must be King Arthur.
Now St. Patrick told me that King Arthur was actually a girl.
Don't you know that I was crowned today and officially ascended the throne as the King of Ireland? I have already told foreign monarchs and nobles in my credentials to foreign countries that I, William Pendragon, am the legitimate heir to the legendary Knight King of Britain. King Arthur's "son", King Arthur is his father.
Now you tell me that my plan to recognize "Dad" has failed. Now King Arthur has changed from "Dad" to "Mom", and the evil dragon William will marry King Arthur, which means that the evil dragon William will become my "dad".
"In fact, this is exactly the case. During Arthur's reign as king, he always hid his true gender and appeared as a perfect king. The king has two bodies. He always presented his ideal state. Therefore, during the period of King Arthur , her true gender was virtually unknown to King Arthur's subjects, his enemies and allies."
St. Patrick explained that this secret was not unknown to everyone. In the late reign of King Arthur, because he and Queen Guinevere had been childless for a long time, there were already signs of suspicion. The final identity was revealed in The Battle of the Sword Fence is no secret to some.
"Hell, I don't allow this marriage, I oppose it." William pulled out his sword angrily, and he was filled with righteous indignation at this time, "I have decided, I want to challenge the Evil Dragon Duke, I want to recruit my Men and horses, prepare an army and provisions for an expedition to Britain. Enter London, the capital of England."
"The objection is invalid. Your Majesty, if you want to fight, I'm afraid you have to go alone. Your subordinates are homesick and unwilling to fight for you. The Irish nobles will not be able to serve you until next year." Military service, you have no direct royal territory in the Kingdom of Ireland, and if it is an active war, you cannot collect war taxes." St. Patrick said calmly, "Now that the Vikings have been driven away, Ireland's industries are in ruins and people's livelihood is difficult. The people long for peace rather than war. If a monarch cannot respond to the expectations of the people, then the monarch is undoubtedly unqualified."
William took back his sword. He was not blinded by anger. He had long understood that the support of the Irish gods represented by the goddess Eriu and the church forces represented by St. Patrick was limited to his claim to the throne of Ireland. .
If they had greater ambitions, they would be forgiven for not investing.
Is the war potential of the Irish country on the same level as that of powerful countries such as the Principality of Normandy and the Kingdom of Norway?
Don't throw eggs against rocks. If you can protect Ireland, it's already worth it.
St. Patrick's words carry a warning. A qualified king should heed the advice, while an unqualified king means that he himself has been denied.
Since St. Patrick can crown him the King of Ireland, he can naturally crown others. The goddess Eriu can also find a new love. William is now at the crossroads of destiny.
To save King Arthur would mean losing Ireland, the support of the Irish gods and Irish Christian saints. If he gave up saving King Arthur, he would be able to secure the throne, but William would also lose the whole of Britain.
"This is not necessarily true. I know what you are thinking. I will become the King of Ireland, and another person you support will become the King of Britain. But will your idea be successful?"
William chuckled and said, thinking about the time, Duke Conan of Britannia seems to be landing in Britain soon, so William's value has dropped slightly. Although it is not a waste of time, but without the support of King Arthur, Kyle As expected, the special gods favored the Celtic Duke Conan more.
The third wish he made to the magic lamp genie was indeed useful, to kill his "allies".
"Duke Conan also has the blessing of the Pope, the support of the King of France, and the support of the Byzantine Emperor..." St. Patrick said in a bad tone, "With the combined efforts of the Eastern and Western churches, I can easily imagine that there are many people in this world. What can be broken."
The Roman Church (Catholicism) and the Eastern Orthodox Church were once one family. Because the Roman Emperor was unable to rule the huge empire, he divided the country into two parts, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire. Therefore, the Bishop of Rome (Pope) and the Bishop of Constantinople (Patriarch) and the leader of Christianity, but the Western Roman Empire collapsed and the Roman Bishop (Pope), who lost his backer, crowned the Frankish King Charlemagne as Roman Emperor, which caused dissatisfaction with the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium).
Later, the opposition between the Holy Roman Emperor and the Byzantine Emperor, the Pope and the Patriarch, and the Pope and the Patriarch excommunicated each other, caused the church to split into two just like the Roman Empire split into two empires.
The combined efforts of the two major churches, in a sense, this cooperation symbolizes the supreme authority of the church and can invoke the power and authority of God to the greatest extent.
"Yes." William said softly, with an ambiguous smile. Counting the time, his wish should come true.
