Chapter 45: The Knight King or the Little Girl?
From the perspective of ordinary people? Perhaps......
No, it can't be!
The next moment, Artoria's eyes were completely confused, and she returned to her former awe-inspiring posture, and said in a firm tone:
"The king is not a man! If the king has the feelings of ordinary human beings, he will not be able to protect the people, and what people need is a fair and strict king with an iron face and selfless face! β
She has always adhered to this principle and dealt with all kinds of problems.
Even in battles with foreign races, nobles who cause civil strife are mercilessly arrested and punished.
The king is not a man, and she says that she is not a man, is this ...... It's really sick. β
The corners of Wren's mouth twitched, well, the Dull Hair King actually didn't mean that.
He also knew that Artoria was very strong-willed and resilient, and she was not so easy to fool.
It is very difficult to brush up on side quests and change some of her concepts and ideas.
However, he had already prepared and had a surprise gift package for her.
Wren used to be an otaku, barely a royal chef, and he knew her past and experience better.
He sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said leisurely:
"Knight King, I know a thing or two about your time.
There is a foreign invasion outside, a rebellion against the king of Vutigeng inside, and internal and external troubles, so the people urgently need a king who is strong enough, a king who is strong enough to be inhuman, to protect them!
Strong, fair, strict, diligent...... All the qualities of a king 'he' possess, and the very existence of 'he' is an interpretation of the king in their minds, as tireless as a machine, as indestructible as steel......
The king does not make mistakes, and 'he' will always make the right choice!
But human beings are very contradictory creatures.
They sometimes think that such an 'omnipotent' king, such an 'inhuman' king, always scrupulously weighs the affairs of the state and rewards or punishes the people without deviation.
Is the king too strict and ruthless, there is no difference between everyone and everything in 'him', the king only treats them as pawns, currency and goods.
Such a king cannot treat them as his own kind, and a person without emotion (king) cannot rule over men!
SoβKing Arthur didn't understand the human heart.
It's just a sentence, maybe the Knight of the Round Table Tristan himself didn't expect that when he said this, people's hearts will really disperse, and the team will not be easy to lead.
There were fewer and fewer Knights of the Round Table around King Arthur, and their thoughts gradually became out of sync with the king.
After all, knights can't do it without selfishness! They will grow old, they will be tired, they will withdraw, they will hope that the king will prefer one of them......"
Wren's voice was not in a hurry, telling everything eloquently, and the Dumb Hair King was able to remain calm at first.
But listening to it, there was something incredible in her eyes, especially from the sentence "King Arthur doesn't understand people's hearts", her body trembled uncontrollably.
Wren struck while the iron was hot, his eyes looked at her like a sharp knife, and his voice was indifferent but sonorous:
"Brave and good at fighting, fair and strict, diligent in government affairs...... King Arthur was perfect.
Perfect enough for her and the people of the kingdom, with her soldiers, and even with the Knights of the Round Table, there was an invisible gulf between her.
She is always noble and inviolable, believing that she always lives justly and above board at all times.
So she can't see that the people and their subordinates are vulnerable, short-sighted, narrow-minded, and extreme...... With a selfish side.
For example, the underground love affair between Guinevere and Lancelot, such as the materials of the residents of the small village are overwhelmed...... She didn't even notice these problems in advance, and as a result, when the problem broke out, it caused a huge upheaval.
King Arthur gave everything to his country, but he couldn't really understand people's feelings, didn't know what they needed, and didn't understand the changeability and complexity of people's hearts.
Artoria, am I right? Do you still think that the king must be lonely and must have no personal feelings?! β
"You...... You ......"
Artoria couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and her emotions fluctuated violently.
Although she stood straight and Wren sat on the ground, her body involuntarily took half a step back when she met the other party's sharp gaze.
Wren glanced at the fading sky, the navy blue night shrouded in stars, and the moonlight covered the forest with a silver glow.
After a while, Artoria calmed down the churning thoughts in her head, lowered her head slightly, and her voice was a little low:
"Caster, are you questioning my royal ways?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I don't think there's anything wrong with your royal ways. In fact, you've done a good job for that particular time. β
Wren stood up and looked at the silent forest.
The dumb hair king's face was a little stunned, and he wondered: "What? Didn't you find out so many of my shortcomings? β
"King Arthur, the red dragon of Britain, even if you don't age, you still have limitations in your human form.
No matter how perfect your royal path is, even if you understand the so-called human heart, you can't solve all problems. β
Wren turned his head and looked at the Dull King with an expressionless face, his eyes were dark.
He knew that the Dumb Hair King believed in chivalry and was very upright, and even because she was too upright, sometimes her behavior would seem a little naΓ―ve or dull.
But integrity does not mean that the Virgin is a bad person, and in order to win the war, she has squeezed the supplies of some small villages, and even forced the villagers to leave their homes.
From the perspective of the overall situation and strategy, it is the right thing for the Dull Hair King to do this, and there is no other good way.
But many knights complained about it, and they didn't want to do it.
So when she firmly and meticulously implemented these strategies and won one war after another, finally someone couldn't bear it anymore.
Tristan, the Knight of the Round Table, after saying the phrase "King Arthur does not understand the human heart", the sentimental knight left the city of Camelot.
Yes, many knights could not accept the king's "coldness", and even thought that sooner or later they would be sacrificed like those villagers, and the king would make a choice on the scales of victory.
Artoria was silent for a moment and shook her head: "No, it's me who hasn't done well enough, if I could have detected ...... earlier"
"Knight King, it's useless for you to notice it earlier." Wren said in a flat tone.
The Dull Hair King suddenly felt a little inexplicably angry, and reprimanded him: "Yes! There must be, there must be a way! β
It's not so much that she's angry with Wren, it's that she thinks she's not good enough.
"Wake up, there's no other solution!
Because all this needs to be borne by the king and borne by the king after all! To you, this is the curse of the king! Wren said unceremoniously.
Artoria's fingers clenched, and she glared at him:
"You talk nonsense! Are you trying to persuade me to give up? That's impossible! β
"Okay, I'm just talking nonsense, I don't have a backache when I stand and talk, little girl of the Knight King, don't take it to heart."
Wren suddenly smiled and stopped being aggressive.
Sonorous~
Artoria drew her invisible sword and pointed it at him, "Little girl? Caster, do you want to be slashed by me? β
In any case, Renne's words today had a great impact on her, and she couldn't calm down at all.
"Am I wrong? It's true that you're King Arthur, but there's no denying that you're also a little girl! β
Little girl?
Saber's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and he trembled with anger, and he couldn't bear Wren's repeated death.
She leaped forward and slashed at Wren's position with a wave of her sword, but the other party disappeared in an instant like a ghost.
Whew
The piercing sound of breaking wind sounded, the edge slashed, and the invisible holy sword sharpened iron like clay, and the city wall instantly cracked a crack.
Wren stood on the wall with his hands in his hands, and Artoria pointed her sword at him, and she said unceremoniously:
"Caster, if you want to try my swordsmanship, I'm happy to accompany you!"
It's really cut, it's really not cute at all.
Wren yawned lazily, and was about to say something to lighten the mood, when he suddenly frowned.
Saber also turned his head to look at the forest beneath the castle.
An awe-inspiring aura rose in the night, and the fighting spirit rushed into the sky, even startling away a few birds in the woods.
The enemy has arrived.
"It's Lancer, who seems to have chosen to attack head-on." Wren said, a flash of blue in his eyes.
Saber nodded, the breath she was familiar with, she glanced at Wren, and said unquestioningly:
"Give him to me!"
Before, Wuming thought she was making trouble unreasonably, so she came over to persuade him, but the topic was biased at the first time.
"Okay, just have fun." Wren said lightly that he didn't think the other party could solve Dilumudo.
Saber snorted and asked:
"Caster, can you protect the castle?"
As soon as his gaze froze, Wren's lazy aura changed instantly, like an abyss like a prison, and the terrifying coercion was like substance:
"Don't worry, I'll take as much as I want!"
The strong sense of oppression made Saber's expression change slightly, and it was the first time she felt his undisguised aura.
Nodding, she no longer hesitated, jumped up the city wall with one step, and then jumped from the castle balcony, the wind blowing her blue dress.
Of course, Saber is very tightly wrapped, don't expect her to go away, the quilt king is not blown out.
Wren lowered his head and shouted at her:
"Hey, little girl of the Knight King, are you jumping like this? Be careful, don't break your leg. β
The Dull Hair King, who had just landed safely, couldn't help but be stunned, and then turned his head and glared at Wren angrily:
"No kidding, you wait, I'll clean you up when you come back!"
On the castle, Wren shrugged his shoulders.
He really didn't provoke, he just habitually snorted.
"Knight King, come on! Hack to death the guy who seduced his sister-in-law and broke the rules of the road, and vented his evil anger for Old Finn! β
Artoria, who was rushing forward, stumbled when she heard this, and almost fell, she couldn't help but turn her head and glared at Wren fiercely:
"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!"
After saying that, as if she was worried that he would say something unreliable, she rushed into the forest without looking back.
