"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 headstrong. This character is very bad, but in feudal society, most rulers have problems, so it is not unusual. And the key is, since he is the boss, he is willful and no one dares to say anything.
At least Gaius didn't dare.
"Your Majesty, of course it is up to you to decide what to do."
King Uther stared at Gaius.
"You swore never to reveal the secret of Arthur's birth, and I warn you not to break your oath."
"Very well, Sire." (Yes, Your Majesty)
Gaius said disappointedly.
"Okay, Gaius. Stop talking. You go back first. I will have a good chat with Uther. You can go and rest. Things haven't reached that point yet." Don't look at King Uther, who always has a serious face. He looks expressionless, but in fact he is a very emotional person. Once angry, he will always do something that he regrets. Kai didn't want the decades-old friendship between him and Gaius to have problems, 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'm leaving first. Remember, don't touch the wound with water in the last two days. The wound will be healed in two days." After saying that, Gaius packed his medicine box, turned around and left the king's bedroom.
When Gaius left, King Uther's originally angry expression also faded, and he sat down on the chair with a tired look.
Kai did not go to talk to King Uther immediately. Instead, he picked up the jug on the table and poured himself a glass of wine to moisten his throat.
King Uther did not speak, but kept rubbing his face, trying to calm himself down.
About ten minutes passed before Kai finally spoke.
"I think Gaius is right, Uther. Arthur should know some truth. You can't treat him like a child all the time." Kai actually supported Gaius, but King Uther was too excited just now. , if he adds fuel to the fire, with King Uther's damn temper, he might really end up unhappy. That was very unnecessary, so Kai would wait for King Uther to calm down slowly before speaking his mind.
King Uther raised his head and looked at Kai in surprise. He did not expect that even his most trusted child would oppose him.
"Why do you even say that? Kai! Others don't know what impact it will have if the truth is announced. Don't you know? If others know the secret of Arthur's birth, what have I done over the years? It’s become a joke! The whole of Camelot will be crumbling!”
Don't think that this is just a small matter. On the contrary, this matter is very big, so big that King Uther would not want to reveal this secret even if he died. In the past twenty years, what King Uther has done most is to eliminate magic. For this reason, he did not hesitate to kill countless innocent people.
For example, if a wizard is discovered in a hotel, then the entire hotel, from the owner to the waiter to the guests, will be arrested and killed! For another example, if a person is found to be a wizard, then his neighbors will most likely also be arrested. Because you have lived with the wizard for such a long time and you did not report it to the police. This is a cover-up!
All in all, under King Uther's iron fist, there really shouldn't be too many unjust, false and wrongful convictions. But because magic has indeed caused many disasters, the people can only endure it. King Uther holds great righteousness at this point.
But if the secret of Arthur's birth was spread, everything would be different.
People don't care what King Uther thought at the beginning. They will simply think that when you, King Uther, kill people related to magic, you always prefer to kill the wrong ones, but why do you do this to your son? How about just opening up the internet? 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 on the one hand, the people these days are not as powerful as later generations. If King Uther really abandons his moral integrity and insists on suppressing it with an army, there is nothing the people can do. After all, he is a tyrant.
But there is a group of people who are not so easy to get rid of, and that is the entire aristocratic class.
The entire aristocracy of Camelot would follow Uther behind their waistbands and start a war against magic. That was because they believed King Uther's words and believed that magic had affected their rule of Camelot. !
But now, they suddenly discovered that Arthur was actually born through magic! What does this make them think? Those who are better will only think that Uther is unfair, while those who are really darker will consider what will happen after Arthur takes over.
Because strictly speaking, Arthur should be in the same group as those wizards. When Arthur comes to power, what will he do if he wants to avenge his weird friends?
And there is another very important reason, and that is power.
Once the legitimacy of Arthur's heir is destroyed, he will lose the right to inherit the throne, which is huge good news for some careerists. What's more serious is that this will make many nobles who originally had no such intention become unstable.
In short, the impact of this incident is very great, so great that it can cause the Pendragon family to lose their right to rule Camelot!
In this case, it would be a ghost if King Uther agreed!
Of course, this is not the most important thing. King Uther has been tough all his life. These are small things. It is great to fight another war. This is not a big deal for King Uther. At first, I don't know how many people were unwilling to go to war with the weird and unpredictable wizards and magical creatures, but King Uther was still willing to do it. This kind of courage was nothing to him.
What really worried him was Arthur.
What would Arthur think if he learned the truth about that year? What would he think of his father?
And there are some things that really cannot be explored. The more you explore, the more things will get messed up!
Once Arthur's secret is exposed, many things starting from this may be dug up. For example, one of these things will involve another person, that is Morgana.
Morgana's side is even more difficult to deal with.
In any case, King Uther still had an excuse to explain to Arthur what happened back then.
But what about Morgana?
Here is a spoiler about Morgana’s life experience.
The fact that Morgana is King Uther's biological daughter has been mentioned before, but few people know who Morgana's mother is. To put it simply, Morgana's mother was the lover of King Uther. Before King Uther and Queen Igraine got married, the two of them had a secret knot and gave birth to Morgana. And the biological father that Morgana always thought could only be regarded as a scapegoat...
This is not the key, the key is that Morgana's mother is a witch...
And he was killed by King Uther himself...
This matter would be very difficult. If Morgana knew about it, Uther killed her magical mother and kept hiding the fact that he was her biological father. This made her feel that she was adopted and under the care of others for many years. Uther This was done just to vent his anger and preserve his reputation as king.
Putting these things together, it is reasonable for Morgana to cut King Uther into pieces.
The beginning of all this was the birth of Arthur, so King Uther could not and did not dare to let this matter be exposed, otherwise his family would be destroyed and his family would be destroyed.
