Gawain didn't struggle anymore, he was still struggling like this. He simply lay on the ground panting, he was really tired.
Seeing this, Kay declared Arthur's victory very neatly.
The cheers were naturally enthusiastic, but Arthur's mood was not high. It's not that defeating Gawain, his rival in love, is not something to be happy about, but when he saw Gun Niang disregarding her propriety, she rushed down from the audience and ran to Gawain's side, greeting the defeated subordinate...
This means winning the world and losing her.
Is there anything more heartbreaking than this? He tried his best to defeat Gawain just to get away from his mother, but in the end, it was Gawain, the defeated general, who got the favor of the beauty, while he, the winner, could only watch silently.
At this moment, Arthur wished he was lying on the ground.
Unfortunately, his pride did not allow him to fail. Thinking of this, Arthur silently withdrew his gaze and raised his hands to welcome the cheers of his subjects. At this moment, Arthur felt an unprecedented sense of loss, which even gave him the urge to give up.
Doesn't he know that it is impossible for him and his wife to get away from each other, but young people's impulses are always so irrational. All this time, Arthur has never thought about the future. In fact, children of this age rarely think about the future.
But the scene just now made Arthur wake up a little from his hormones and rebellion. Seeing Gun Niang holding Gawain, he suddenly felt that it might be a good thing for the two of them to be together, at least he wouldn't have to worry about Gun Niang being killed by his father.
Thinking of this, Arthur felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, but he still endured the pain and allowed himself to laugh. At that moment, he even felt that this was love.
Arthur's inner activities are secretive and obscure, and others naturally don't understand. They are just cheering for the prince's victory wholeheartedly. In everyone's mind, Gawain has always been Arthur's strong rival. It can even be said that in this competition, except for Gawain, no one else can think of anyone who can create obstacles for Arthur.
Now that Arthur has defeated Gawain, it basically means that Arthur's road to victory has been extremely smooth, and he has already embraced a victory.
No one is unhappy about this situation. Arthur is the crown prince of Camelot, and everyone is honored. King Uther also rarely showed a satisfied smile to his silly son. At this moment, he really felt that his son finally satisfied him.
Gawain was not disappointed. He was a knight, and a knight would never be depressed by failure. That would be unmanly. He lost to Arthur, but he was convinced that he lost. Others defeated him openly and without shame.
What's more, he also won the favor of beauties.
Seeing Gun Niang gently removing his helmet and blocking his bleeding nose, Gawain felt that he had lost the battle well.
Gun Niang was also concerned and confused. She had been praying in the audience that the two men would not be injured. Suddenly Gawain was severely injured, which made Gun Niang panic, so she ran towards Gawain regardless. This was a subconscious action, not that she really made up her mind to choose Gawain.
When she helped Gawain clean up, she immediately felt bad. But when she turned to look at Arthur, she found that Arthur was going around the venue to thank the audience, without even the slightest glance falling on her.
Gun Niang suddenly felt aggrieved, sad and lonely. She originally planned to congratulate Arthur, but...seeing Arthur getting further and further away from her, Gun Niang wanted to catch up. But when she saw King Uther taking Morgana to celebrate Arthur's victory, she stopped.
Perhaps, this is the best.
At this moment, Gun Niang seemed to have realized something, but also seemed to have lost something.
…
Arthur happily returned to the palace with his whole family. After a simple celebration, Arthur returned to his room. Tomorrow is the knight melee. This is the highlight, so he must stay in good condition. Once this period is over, Guan, then the title of Champion Knight beckons to him.
Arthur was still smiling before entering the door, but as soon as the door to the room was closed, Arthur's smile disappeared. He threw himself on the bed, and then buried his head in the quilt so that no one could see his expression.
Merlin followed Arthur back to the room. He looked at the depressed Arthur with a complicated expression, but he didn't know how to comfort his friend.
Others may not know the anguish in Arthur's heart right now, but Merlin can see it clearly. He was also in the duel field at that time. When Arthur won, Merlin was also very happy, but when he saw Gun Girl rushing towards Gawain, he knew something was wrong.
Merlin knows all about this!
So he can understand Arthur's current mood, just like after Kai returned, Morgana immediately threw herself into Kai's arms, and he felt uncomfortable. He wanted to persuade Arthur to take action quickly to win back his mother. But he was not completely dizzy after all. This matter was too big. Once exposed, everything would be over. Moreover, Merlin felt that Arthur was still angry, so speaking at this time would have no effect.
So the room was quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the room door.
Merlin looked at Arthur. He still looked like that and had no intention of getting up. Obviously he didn't want to be disturbed, so Merlin could only quietly walk to the door and open the door.
"Gwen?"
When Arthur heard this voice, he immediately raised his head from the bed, but immediately Arthur was stunned again. He did not get up, but lay quietly on the bed, intending to listen to what they said.
Gun Niang suddenly felt guilty for some reason when facing Merlin, but she immediately calmed down. Pretending to be unintentional, he asked: "Arthur...how is he?"
Hearing this, Merlin became happy, thinking that Gun Niang had changed her mind.
"Arthur, he..."
"Ahem!" Suddenly Arthur coughed, meaning to tell Merlin to stop talking nonsense. Like all little boys, Arthur is very concerned about face, and he doesn't want his wife to know his previous weakness. In fact, Arthur was too sensitive. His so-called weakness was only known to him from beginning to end. Merlin didn't even know. Merlin just felt that he was stimulated and unhappy.
Now that Arthur won't let him talk, what can he do?
"He's asleep!" Merlin still decided to follow his heart. Although he felt that Arthur's little temper could not bring back his mother, what could he do? Pressure Arthur to come to see the mother-in-law? He didn't want to be beaten yet.
There was a sense of disappointment in Mrs. Gun's heart. Although the reason she came here was not to see Arthur, she still wanted to see Arthur. As for what she would say after meeting him, she actually had no idea. But now Arthur obviously doesn't want to see her, which makes Gun Niang feel even more aggrieved and miserable.
In short, these two low-level love players each imagined a series of love dramas in their minds, which caused the two parties to drift apart.
