Chapter 149: The Round Table Breaks
When the conversation was over, Guinevere left the garden and walked silently on the promenade, her hurried pace so that anyone could see the impatience in her heart, the news she had just learned was so uncomfortable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Why the king would not talk to her about these things?
Why would the king agree to do this.
King.... Is what has been said false?
How much more did the king not tell her?
People are like this, once something unexpected happens, many additional things will be associated with it, and even the original firm trust will be destroyed in an instant, turning into hatred born of love.
All it takes is a message, or an inducement, for this change to cause irreparable error.
The queen thought about these things, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt like she was breathless, and her chest was choked by something.
In her eyes, the former king was perfect, and no man could compare to it, but now, it was not like that.
Just as the queen pondered how to face the king, a knight came across the corridor.
Seeing his face, Guinevere only felt that the anger in her heart was a little bigger.
One of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot, known as the First Knight of the Round Table, was slowly approaching, he had accompanied King Arthur to the aid of Liao Dekuan in times of crisis, and it was for this reason that the queen gave him her silk scarf to show her gratitude to him.
After staying in Camelot City for a long time, Guinevere also knew some rules among knights, and at first she did not notice when she accompanied the king to watch the duel of Lancelot, until one day the queen saw the silk scarf tied on the knight's arm, and she sensed the evil intentions of the other party.
The knight should follow the spirit of loyalty to the monarch, and he actually lusted for the queen, so that the image of the first knight was much lower in the queen's heart, but in order to avoid disturbing the king about these things, she did not inform the king of this.
And Lancelot didn't show more, just show his love to himself, just ignore it, and this chance encounter will be the same as before, just treat it ordinarily.
"Queen, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. ”
"What's the matter? The queen did not stop her steps, but slowed down slightly.
"You remember, this ribbon you gave me. ”
Guinevere was furious in her heart, and just thought that he had not shown much of it, and now she had made such a bold show of affection, that the queen scolded the knight for her infidelity, and Lancelot, though she fell to her knees in submission, boldly took the queen's hand and did not let her go.
Although the queen was furious, she could not break free from the knight's strong palm, and the other party also said a confession of love in this situation, praising the queen's beauty, seriously, was her head burned?
Seriously, Lancelot is not the queen's preferred type, and his penchant for showing off his strength will only make Guinevere feel pretended, compared to which the king is a hundred times better than him.
But at the thought of the king, Guinevere's mood sank, and she suddenly thought of something.
Did the king hide these things to mean that he didn't care about her?
Once this kind of thinking is generated, it is very difficult to get rid of it.
"Is what you said true?" asked the queen, who suddenly became very calm, as she looked at the kneeling knight.
"Of course!"
"Alright then, I'll give you a chance. ”
Maybe it was a feeling of revenge, maybe it was a little awkward mood that caused the queen to behave at this moment, and she wanted to know whether the king cared about her or not.
As for the knight over there, it's just a pawn to be used.
――――――
"Decide, king. "In the spacious hall, at the huge round table, Gawain, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, sat on one side and said to the king on the throne.
The scandal about the affair between the queen and Lancelot, the knight of the Round Table, has been spread all over the city, and although the people have not said it directly, most people still secretly hope that the king will sanction these two people.
One is that as a queen, she was not loyal to the king and was loyal to love, and actually had an affair with a knight.
One is that as a knight, he was not loyal to the king and his duties, and actually had an affair with the queen.
No matter who does it, it is unforgivable, and no matter what the reason, it is not allowed.
Most of the Knights of the Round Table shared the same view, with the exception of Tristan, who said, "Isn't this forbidden love beautiful?"
The king sat on his throne and held his chin with his hands so that he would not look so vulnerable.
For such disloyalty, both the people and the knights wanted to be burned at the stake as punishment.
However, the king did not want that, and although she did not know why Queenelle had an affair with Lancelot, she still could not order such a cruel decision to be made to the queen.
There was some misunderstanding in between, and the king realized it.
However, the Knights of the Round Table moved much faster than the king, and they had already taken advantage of a tryst between the queen and Lancelot, and carried out a round-up, although the final result was that Lancelot was defeated by superior force, but the queen did not, she was already tied to the cross in Camelot Square, and the people would quickly start burning at the stake as long as the king agreed.
The king also knew that Gawain's brother and two sons had been killed by Lancelot in the process of rounding up, and it was absolutely useless to persuade him now, and she could see the anger in Gawain's eyes.
On the one hand, she is the person she loves the most, and on the other hand, she is her own people and knights, as a king, how should she choose?
At this time, there was no Merlin to consult, and the knights in front of her stared at her, not giving her time to think about it.
"O king!" Gawain urged again, hoping that the king would make a decision quickly.
The king sighed, leaned back in the huge chair of the throne, and nodded slowly.
Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately stood up, along with the other Knights of the Round Table.
"This is a clear decision, my king, and now I will convey this news to the people, and rest assured that the queen who has been disloyal to you will indeed deal with it. ”
With that, the knights saluted and departed.
Wang Xin said, you don't understand my thoughts at all, she doesn't want Guinevere to be burned at the stake, but she can't afford to make the opposite decision, because she is the king, and it is her mission and duty to respond to the hopes of the people and the knights.
The hall in front of him was empty, except for the round table in the middle, which had been vacant since the beginning, and Lancelot's place was cracked, and under the solid round table, there was a faint crack open.
After a long time, the king did not leave the place, she thought, Guinevere must have been burned to death by the fire, and the people were satisfied, and the knights were happy?
Until the guards came running from outside and told the king two pieces of news.
One, it was Lancelot who attacked the square, saved Guinevere, who was about to be burned at the stake, and left Camelot City.
For some reason, after hearing the news, the king's heart was relieved, and it was great that Guinevere was not dead.
The other is the news of the invasion of foreign enemies, and according to the description of the guards, the momentum of foreign invasion this time is greater than any previous one.
The king stood up from his throne and walked out of the hall, her expression had returned to calm, now that the people needed her, it was time for her to step up as king.
