There is a reason why Kai gave Arthur half a day off today. Morgana's wishes were certainly part of the reason, but the bigger reason was that a person returned to the palace.
That is the royal pharmacist Gaius!
As a royal apothecary, Gaius held a very high status. This old man with a little big eyes and an eccentric personality relied on his superb medical skills and knowledge of medicines to serve two generations of kings, King Uther and King Uther's father. At the same time, he is also a good friend of King Uther. Perhaps Gaius is the only one who knows King Uther best in the world. Gaius knew all of King Uther's secrets, and King Uther was willing to share these secrets with Gaius.
Because Gaius not only would not reveal these secrets to the outside world, but would also give King Uther the most correct suggestions. He was a good friend and a top advisor. King Uther was used to discussing many matters in the kingdom with Gaius.
Some time ago, a king from a neighboring country was seriously ill and asked King Uther, hoping Gaius could help. Gaius's abilities were famous among the nations. King Uther is a face-saving king, and of course he will not refuse requests from neighboring countries. So I decisively agreed.
So Gaius went abroad for more than a month, perfectly missing Kai's return.
Originally, although Gaius' status was high, it was not enough to prepare a return banquet for him with great fanfare. It's just that they haven't seen each other for a month, so there is no need for such a grand ceremony, but Morgana couldn't help but felt sorry for her brother and tried every means to let her brother rest, so she very enthusiastically proposed to hold a welcome banquet for Gaius.
Seeing her like this, King Uther was also willing to be more generous towards his old friends. So I agreed directly.
In this way Arthur was liberated for a day.
At the banquet, Arthur almost shed tears while drinking fine wine. Ever since Kai gave him special training, he had said goodbye to alcohol. Kai was not opposed to drinking, but he was a little dissatisfied with Arthur's drinking. Nothing else, Arthur is too young.
Nineteen years old. In Kai's previous life, such a child was either a senior in high school or a freshman in college, which is not the age for drinking. His body is still developing and is not suitable for drinking. Moreover, the self-control ability of children in this period is not as strong as imagined. , it is easy to develop some bad habits.
Kai actually knew that his thinking was very old-fashioned, but Kai was really not good at educating children, so he simply copied the education he had received on Arthur. Anyway, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the education he received. , won’t he grow up well? And he looks good, at least he is a useful person to society. Therefore, Kai feels that this kind of successful experience should not be a pity.
In short, because of Kai's old-fashioned attitude, Arthur hasn't had a drink for almost a month. Now meeting a drink is like meeting a relative. This also caused Arthur to be sincere and passionate when he was giving Gaius a auxiliary speech. Gaius was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that he would be so liked by Arthur.
Arthur was not a good student, and he had a very bad rapport with a 'reader' like Gaius, so although the relationship between the two was good, it was definitely not passionate. But Morgana was more liked by Gaius.
The same is true for Kai. Gaius is Kai's first teacher, and the education Kai received in his previous life also emphasized respecting teachers and ethics, so he respects Gaius very much, which also leads Gaius to like Kai very much.
The two of them haven't seen each other for ten years. Now that they finally meet, they naturally want to have a good chat. The two of them simply sat in a corner of the banquet hall, holding wine glasses and chatting while drinking.
As mentioned before, Gaius is a weirdo and he doesn't like this kind of noisy scene. If he could choose, he would prefer to find a quiet place to have a chat with Kai. He was also very interested in Kai's travel experience.
By the way, I forgot to mention, Gaius is also a mage. He may be the only mage in Camelot accepted by King Uther. Kai once found a magic book in Gaius, which is very ancient. kind of. Even so, Gaius has not used magic for more than ten years, and the magic power in his body has weakened to a certain level. It is estimated that it will not be long before he completely loses the favor of magic.
Even Kai didn't know what happened. He just knew that it seemed to be related to one of his oaths.
Everyone was very satisfied tonight. Although Gaius didn't like this kind of environment, he was still very grateful for everyone's kindness, not to mention Arthur. He now wanted to hold Gaius and cry a lot, so that he could He could stand up and stop his father and brother from destroying him. Morgana was also very satisfied, because she made the decision and organized this dinner. King Uther seemed to be deliberately cultivating her ability in this area, making her the temporary hostess of the palace.
As for why, it is self-evident. In short, although Morgana was a little shy, she still completed it very seriously.
Hosting banquets is a skill that a noble woman must master.
The same goes for Merlin. Although he doesn't have to suffer as much as Arthur, as Arthur's attendant, his life is equally difficult.
Now that Gaius is back, he can completely reduce the time he spends with Arthur. After all, he is Gaius' apprentice. It is reasonable to learn potions and medical knowledge from Gaius. As for Arthur? Haha, he'll be fine.
King Uther was also very happy. His adopted son came back, bringing back full of glory and wealth. His biological son is getting better day by day, and his adopted daughter, in fact, can be left to a reliable man with peace of mind. Now I am learning the skills of a noble lady, and I am just waiting for the time to marry meimei and live a happy life.
King Uther felt that soon, he would have no more luxury in his life.
But at this time, the danger began to gradually emerge in Camelot. The gears of fate had begun to rotate, and no one could escape the arrangement of fate.
…
In the morning, Kai woke up at five forty on time. This was his habit in his previous life. Unless there were special circumstances, he would go to bed early and get up early, get up at 5:40, complete personal hygiene in 20 minutes, start training at 6, and have breakfast at 8:00. This is a habit he brought back from his military career. When he was an officer, he was the first to get up every day. Later, when I became a police officer, I did not forget this habit, and in this world, this habit has not changed. It’s been like this for decades.
But just when she was about to wake Arthur up, she found Morgana's maid, Winger, running in the corridor in panic as if she was on fire.
Of course Kai wants to stop her to find out what happened.
As a result, Gwen told him bad news: Morgana was seriously ill and fell into a coma!
