Chapter 148: Rose Barb
"My king, you look very unhappy, what happened?"
Today's king behaved differently than usual, her face was full of shock and bewilderment, and when she returned to the dormitory, she didn't say anything, just sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and didn't confide in Guinevere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It seems that something big should have happened, but if it was a change in Camelot, the queen should also know, and if you think so, it may be something related to the king himself.
"Nothing ....."
Didn't choose to confide in her, but chose to take it yourself? This made a slight dissatisfaction rise in Guinevier's heart, she would have told herself about everything before, but now she didn't say it.
"I need to go out again, Guinevere, you go to sleep. Then the king took up the clothes from the bed, put them on his body, and went out of the bedchamber.
The queen was a little dazed, she had the impression that this was the first time the king had behaved like this in front of her, and it felt more like her husband who was having an affair found out that there were children outside, and he didn't dare to tell his wife, she had seen too much of this kind of thing in Liao Dekuancheng.
Although she believed in the king's loyalty to her, the resemblance of the scene still made her feel that something was wrong, and ten minutes after the king left, the queen also put on her coat and left the palace.
Originally, it was very difficult to find a person in this huge royal city, but when she saw the lights on the tower in the distance, the queen knew that the king was going there.
She made her way to the tower, because there weren't many guards patrolling late at night, and she didn't run into anyone else along the way, until she reached the bottom of the tower, and the guards guarding the door appeared.
The queen did not appear to them, but hid behind the trees and observed, and since the king did not want these things to be known to her, she should not have appeared, but at least she should know who the king had come out late at night to meet.
After waiting for a long time, the lights on the tower were not extinguished, and the queen rubbed her shoulders as if to keep warm, it was not the height of summer, and staying outside for a long time in a thin suit was bound to feel cold.
The moon rose slowly from the east, reaching its highest point in the middle of the night, when a man stepped out of the tower.
The person who came out was wearing a white robe, Guinevere knew it, the court magician Merlin, his hair was unusually conspicuous, as if a mixture of colors, his calm face was full of mystery, he was not as old as Guinevere imagined, on the contrary, he was still very young, obviously a person who survived the time of the previous king Uther, why is he still so young?
The queen decided to ask Merlin tomorrow what the king cared about.
But at that moment Merlin turned her head to Guinevere's side, an act of forewarning, and the queen shrank behind the tree, not being able to guarantee that she would not be seen.
"The garden is such a great place, why don't you go and enjoy the flowers tomorrow?" Merlin said this aloud, leaving the guards guarding the door a little confused, considering that the court magician's habits had always been a little strange, the guards did not pay much attention.
But when it came to the Queen's ears, it was a completely different story, and she believed that Merlin must have noticed herself, so she deliberately said it out loud.
To put it bluntly, it is an invitation, an invitation to the queen to meet him in the garden tomorrow.
――――――
The next morning, the queen came to the garden early in the morning, and found Merlin already sitting in the pavilion, and the other party obeyed the rules of the courtiers, and sat down on one side and put the other chair in the opposite direction.
On the round table were white teacups and teapots, and Merlin, seeing the queen coming, picked up the teapot and poured black tea into the empty cup.
"Good morning, Your Highness, how did you sleep last night?"
The queen gave Merlin a blank look, it was late at night when he came out last night, and he came to the garden without much rest when he returned to the dormitory, and there were things that the king didn't want her to know, how could he sleep well?
"Excuse me from the greetings, let's get straight to the point. The queen picked up the teacup and took a sip, and the warm black tea entered her mouth, which was very comfortable. "Something happened, the king of last night was very abnormal. ”
"I shouldn't have told you about this, after all, the king told me not to tell anyone about these things. But..."Merlin looked up and glanced at the queen. "The Queen's words, I think, have the right to know. ”
Merlin paused, took a sip of black tea, and then said slowly.
"Your Highness, I think you should know Mordred. ”
"One of the Knights of the Round Table, of course I know, does this have anything to do with him?"
"Hmm.... It's a bit complicated to say, but.... She is actually the king's child. ”
"Huh?" the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and the expression on the queen's face became ugly.
"Whose child is the king with?" asked the queen.
"Hmm..... The king's own sister, Morgan. ”
Silence, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Merlin, I'm not here to joke with you, how can a woman give birth to a child? It's not funny at all. "The queen knows that the queen knows that the truth of the king is different from that of Merlin, except for Guinevere.
"So it's a bit of a complicated thing. Merlin's face was a little tangled, and he knew that what he said next would surely make the queen disgusted with him. "Through my magic, and some of Morgan's means, Mordred was born, and the reason why the king was unusual, because yesterday afternoon, Mordred told the king about it, and wanted to become the heir to the throne, and the king rejected her. ”
In fact, the queen didn't care about this, her gaze at Merlin had become cold, and the meaning couldn't be clearer, there was obviously this method, why didn't you let me and the king use it?
"This... There's a reason why my magic has conditions to be used, and this condition is met by the king and Morgan, but the queen and the king are not, so it can't be used on you. ”
"What conditions?" the queen's gaze remained cold.
"Consanguinity, or similarity.... No... Should you say fit?
"That.... Did the king agree?" this is what Guinevere wants to know the most, although it is a very terrible thing for the king to have a child with someone else, but if it is not the king's intention, she is not unacceptable.
"Hmm. As if unintentional or deliberate, Merlin nodded, agreeing with the queen's statement, and engraved the untrue information into Guinevere's mind.
Merlin knew that Guinevere was destined to bring disaster to the king, and on this premise, it was better to create a gap between the king and the queen as soon as possible, if not, the good king would definitely not be able to abandon the queen at that time.
But how can the two people who usually love each other easily become estranged?
However, the Great Magician did not know that his actions were actually the cause of the future disasters, and perhaps from the beginning, the fall of Britain occurred because of his whim change. He didn't realize this until a long time later, so he enclosed himself in the tower of Ideal Township.
Guinevere's heart was heavy, her beating heart seemed to have a hole pierced, and every beat would make a lot of blood spill out, and the good king, the humble king, would really fail himself like this?
