Early the next morning, Kai did not go to training immediately. Instead, he came to Uther and planned to have breakfast with him. Of course, King Uther would not refuse. But this news frightened Arthur and Gaius terribly.
So not long after Arthur came to King Uther, Arthur hurriedly pulled Morgana over.
This surprised King Uther very much. He didn't understand what happened today. Why did two of them come to have breakfast with him?
Although King Uther asked himself that he gave all his love to every child, he had to admit that he was really not the kind of amiable father who was close to his children. In fact, except for Kai, the other two don't really like eating with him.
King Uther was also helpless. As a middle-aged man, he really couldn't talk softly to his children.
Unexpectedly, today, his children are all rushing to have breakfast with him. This gave King Uther the illusion that he had remembered his birthday incorrectly. Otherwise, they would come to have breakfast with me all the time.
But no matter what, King Uther was still very happy. What father doesn’t like his children to be close to him?
Kai was not very surprised by Arthur's arrival. This guy really valued Merlin.
Kai smiled meaningfully at Arthur. Then he looked at Morgana with similar eyes. Morgana blushed, a little embarrassed. I don’t know if it’s because of last night’s craziness, or because Kai saw through his intentions.
Seeing Morgana's happy face, King Uther was even happier. He asked with concern: "Honey, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Morgana gave King Uther a sweet smile. "No, I'm fine. I feel more relaxed than ever."
"That's good."
Then King Uther didn't know what to say.
King Uther is similar to Kai's father in his previous life. They are both the kind of people who don't like to put their emotions on face. This may be a common problem among all traditional old men. They prefer to be reserved and keep everything secret.
Perhaps this was also the reason why King Uther had a tense relationship with his children. These foreigners were not very accustomed to this kind of restraint.
Arthur had no intention of caring about what King Uther said. His attention was always on Kai. He was afraid that Kai would report Merlin's affairs to Uther, and everything would be over. But he never expected that from beginning to end, throughout breakfast time, Kai didn't speak.
Kai didn't say anything until the end of breakfast, but he didn't leave either, which made Arthur still nervous. It was not until Gaius and some court officials arrived that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Gaius' friendship with Kai and King Uther was there, and with him around, Arthur could relax a little.
King Uther was a little surprised why Arthur and Kai didn't go to training. They had been coming here for the past month.
But Kai said that training requires a balance between work and rest. After a month of high-intensity training, he also needs a proper rest, so he planned to take a day off today. He happened to have nothing to do, so he took Arthur to learn how to do it. Handle government affairs.
King Uther was even more satisfied with this answer. He needed Arthur to not only become an excellent knight, but also a qualified king. He must learn to deal with government affairs. So he was very satisfied with Kai's arrangement.
This way there will be no delay in either.
Just when King Uther was taking Arthur to learn how to handle government affairs, Gaius found Kai.
Gaius didn't speak, just looked at Kai quietly. He could tell that Kai had no intention of executing Merlin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told King Uther about it all morning. As for being concerned about Arthur and him... it's not that Gaius was not confident. , but if Kai really makes up his mind, let alone them, not even King Uther can think of changing. Besides, to put it bluntly, even if Kai really executes Merlin, can Arthur and him really blame Kai?
cant!
Because Kay is right. Merlin committed a capital crime.
After almost three minutes, Kai asked with a smile: "What's wrong, old friend, do you have something to say to me?"
"Oh... yes, I should thank you, Kai. You saved that child." Gaius said.
Kai glanced at Gaius and asked curiously: "You actually value that child so much?"
Gaius did not shy away from Kai, but told the truth: "He reminds me of me when I was young, just as confident and blind. I always thought I had the truth. I always wanted to change anything I couldn't understand. thing."
Kai nodded, finally understanding why Gaius was so anxious to plead with Merlin.
"In this case, you must be more responsible for teaching him well, Gaius. I know he is special, but because of this, he needs teaching even more. He is now putting himself above everyone else. If he continues to develop like this Go down... Gaius, I like this child, so I don’t want to kill him with my own hands one day.”
Seeing the change in Gaius's face, he wanted to defend himself, but Kai raised his hand to tell Gaius to be silent. "Don't deny it, Gaius. I have been outside for ten years and I have seen countless strange things. Some of them even tell you that you find it unbelievable. So don't worry that I will look at Merlin differently. But to be honest, Old man, Merlin is talented, so he needs more guidance. I believe you have seen a lot of good intentions leading to bad things, just like this. Don't let him be self-righteous anymore."
After saying that, Kai turned around and walked away, leaving Gaius there with a gloomy expression on his face. He didn't expect that what he had worked so hard to cover up would be discovered so easily by Kai. But fortunately, the situation is not too bad.
In this way, the whole morning passed peacefully. As lunch approached, King Uther's affairs were almost finished.
At this time, Kai suddenly spoke to King Uther and said, "By the way, Your Majesty. I have something to report to you."
Arthur on the side was startled. What he feared most happened. Arthur looked at Gaius anxiously, hoping Gaius could help. But Gaius shook his head at him and said not to speak.
King Uther was a little strange. If something happened to Kai, he should have told him long ago. Why did he wait until now?
Kai could see King Uther's doubts, so he explained: "Because it is a small matter, I don't intend to take up your more precious time."
Not only did King Uther's doubts disappear, but he also felt inexplicably comfortable. What Kai means is that their family's breakfast time and time to deal with government affairs are more meaningful and precious time. Kai didn't want to disturb him during those times.
What a talker!
"Then tell me, I happen to be free now."
"I want to punish a servant," Kai said.
"Who? Why?" King Uther asked strangely. Kai was known for his good temper, and he rarely punished his servants. This made Uther often feel that Kai was a bit too lenient.
"Arthur's squire, Merlin. Yesterday Arthur went to Morgana's to have dinner with me, and he offended me. Although he didn't mean it, I don't want anyone to make any concessions when I get along with Morgana. It’s something that people don’t like, so I need to give everyone a heads up.”
King Uther immediately frowned. Of course he didn't think there was anything wrong with Kai's actions. Kai was a family member and Merlin was a servant. Even if he is Arthur's attendant, he cannot be compared with Kai. What he was unhappy about was that Arthur was so ignorant that he couldn't manage his own servants well.
"How do you want to punish him?"
"Just a whipping. Not too light, not too hard, just right."
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief at this time, it was just a whip, it would not kill anyone. It's better than being beheaded! So Arthur said nothing.
Gaius also breathed a sigh of relief, this was just right, it not only saved Merlin's life, but also taught him a profound lesson.
"Then let's deal with it as you say!" King Uther felt a little light, but Kai had already said so, and he would not refute Kai's face just for this.
