It may seem ridiculous to seek an explanation from the king of an enemy country, but in the special environment of the Celtic countries, it is normal.
Because if we really want to talk about it in detail, in fact, if we count the royal families and nobles of various countries, we are all relatives! This is a bit like Britain and Germany before World War I. Although the two countries had not dealt with each other for a long time before the war, if you look closely, the royal blood relationship between the two countries is really close. The Kaiser and the King of England are cousins, and even The British royal family itself also has a German surname. The relationship between the Celtic countries is even closer.
This also leads to some unspoken rules that are very binding, because to put it bluntly, everyone is a family, and if there are no rules, everything will really fall into chaos. So once King Odin did something that was intolerable under the aristocratic rules, Kai was fully qualified to take the knights to him for an explanation.
And King Odin must come out and make it clear!
Although it's really a bit funny, it's true.
This is also the reason why Kai only summoned the knights, because the soldiers couldn't get involved in this kind of thing!
…
Soon Kai's request was handed to King Odin! But when King Odin saw Mai Rui's confession, he felt bad. Didn’t we agree on the King of Killers? Why is it so delicious? I got caught for being so unprofessional and not protecting customer privacy. Bad review!
But complaining about Mai Rui is useless now. Kai has already conveyed this news to most of the nobles in the Kingdom of Cendrid. Unless King Odin wants to lose the support of all the nobles, he must come forward to deal with Kai.
What's more, this matter also involves the assassination of Arthur! This crime is more serious than assassinating Kai! Although Kai can be considered a prince, he is the adopted son of King Uther. According to the rules of the nobility, his status is inherently lower than Arthur.
If King Odin had defeated Camelot openly, found Arthur, and then killed him in public, no one would say anything.
But now he is assassinating! In this society where chivalry is extremely popular, this approach is extremely despised. What's more, it also involves royal succession, which is likely to attract the intervention of other countries' royal families.
All in all, King Odin wanted to avenge his son before, so he naturally had an advantage in the public opinion of the nobles. Who can stop a father from avenging his son? Therefore, although the nobles of the Sendrid Kingdom did not want to start a war, they had nothing to say out of righteousness.
But now King Odin made a bad move, causing public opinion to suddenly turn around. He was reasonable at first, but now he suddenly became irrational. This made many nobles who supported King Odin almost vomit blood.
There is no such thing! Isn't this a scam? So many of us died, and we were so ruined by you?
Therefore, the support King Odin received suddenly decreased a lot. In this day and age, the royal family is just the leading brother of the nobles. If the royal family is really incompetent, it is not unusual for the nobles to not follow the royal family.
This time Odin was blinded.
Kai soon saw Odin. He didn't say anything, he just threw Merry with a broken leg in front of King Odin, and then looked at King Odin.
Now it's embarrassing.
King Odin wanted to quibble, but the problem was that both people got the stolen goods. Not only was Mai Rui caught, but Mai Rui also told who found him, where they made the deal, and what they said. Clearly. There is no room for quibbles.
Seeing the half-dead Mai Rui, King Odin knew that he had to give an explanation.
"What do you want!"
"Uther and I are very sad about what happened to Aliled, and we prayed to you for peace with the most sincere attitude. But you refused, and we have nothing to say about it. So although war is not what we want, But at this point, we can only fight head-on. But..." Kai pointed at the bald killer on the ground and said indifferently: "This behavior has violated the tacit understanding between the various royal families, and has also made all the nobles feel ashamed. "
When King Odin heard this, he was so angry that he almost broke his teeth. He thinks this is Kai humiliating him!
"However, given what happened to you, we don't plan to pursue it!" No one expected Kai to say this suddenly, and they were stunned.
Before anyone could react, Kai pulled out the long sword from his waist and killed Mai Rui with one blow.
"We have determined that this was a misunderstanding and we would like to preserve your honor and dignity."
One sword kill killed the witness and basically destroyed half of the evidence. This made all the nobles of Sendrid Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what, the royal family is always the leader. Once the reputation of the leader becomes bad, the nobles below them will not get better either. Now that Kai is willing to let this matter go, he not only gives face to King Odin, but also gives face to the nobles of the entire Cendrid Kingdom.
Seeing that Kai gave up on the matter of pursuing the assassination so neatly, King Odin was stunned for a while, and then his whole energy seemed to have been sucked away. He sat helplessly on the throne and said in a dry voice: "Then what do you want?"
"Peace!" Kai didn't intend to make King Odin lose face, because that would not do Camelot any good. After all, it really makes King Odin look bad, and it may lead to worse results. Once King Odin abandons all the hidden rules and Camelot is defeated, Camelot will not feel comfortable either.
"What about my Ali Ryder? Where is the justice that should be given to him?" King Odin is naturally unwilling to let it go. Although this is the best result, King Odin cannot pass his own test.
"Ali Ryder died in the duel! He did not lose his glory!" Kai disagreed with this statement. It is true that King Odin was miserable, but don't forget that Prince Aliled died in a duel with Arthur, and it was Aliled who initiated the duel, so there is nothing to say.
This reason would have been a bit untenable before the assassination. After all, like Arthur, Prince Aliled has also been canonized. He is no longer just a knight. He is the heir to the royal family. His identity can no longer be simply regarded as Knight to define.
But it's different now. King Odin has lost points, and now this reason is completely valid!
Of course, Kai is still willing to give King Odin a chance.
"This war has caused enough casualties. If you are still unwilling to give up. Then I propose to end this war in the most glorious way, a knight's duel! If we lose, we will compensate one hundred thousand Give gold coins to your country and cede border land in exchange for peace. If we win, then you only need to compensate us 50,000 gold coins, and then both parties will return to the national border in front of the station, stop fighting and make peace!"
This condition is already favorable enough. If you really think about it, it is still a huge concession made by Kai. After all, everyone can clearly see the war situation. Camelot undoubtedly has the advantage. If he were not concerned about domestic production, Kai could have summoned more troops to advance to the Kingdom of Cendrid. With this advantage, Kai chose to use a knight's duel to end the war, which undoubtedly gave the Kingdom of Cendrid great preferential treatment.
After all, if it were a duel between knights, both sides would be on the same starting line.
All the nobles of the Cendrid Kingdom looked at King Odin, and they also recognized such a proposal. When Kai gave up the assassination of King Odin at the beginning, he showed great goodwill to the Cendrid Kingdom. Now There were obviously favorable offers to end the war, and they could think of no reason to reject them.
