The grey stone castle is located in the heart of the city, where Queen Maeve lived, and is the noblest symbol of Connaught.

Under the protection of two circles of walls, the main body of the castle that is tens of meters high gives people a feeling of depression, and the gray tone is even more so, and there will be silent guards who cast cold eyes when passing through the city gate, if it is a timid person, I am afraid that the posture seen will be directly scared away.

It's just that this kind of scene is something that Gareth has long been used to.

Similar to what happened at the city gate last night, after Gareth showed the token, the guards led Gareth into the castle, and after passing through the two gates, they came to the hall on the first floor of the center.

Unlike the cold decoration on the outside, most of the ornaments inside the castle are mainly red, quite bright, and the statues carved by craftsmen are placed in the corners of the walls, although there are many postures, but these statues have only one blueprint, that is, their queen Maeve.

The wide stairs on either side of the hall led to the upper floor, and as the guards went up one level, Gareth came to the hall on the second floor, which was also the meeting hall of the castle, and the guards told Gareth to wait here for a while, and he went to inform the queen.

This is one of the reasons why Gareth is extremely anxious now.

The candles hanging from the ceiling in the living room, the surrounding paintings, and the long dining table large enough to seat dozens of people, these are all scenes that Gareth is tired of seeing, and it has been a whole morning since the guards left, and Queen Maeve has not arrived.

According to the guards, the queen was still resting in her bedroom.

I'm still resting in the dormitory during the day, what did I do last night? Or did you wake up and suddenly feel interested?

Although he had heard of the queen's affairs, Gareth really didn't expect to be able to indulge to such an extent, although the guard didn't say it directly, but it probably meant that.

It's a pity that Gareth's current identity is just an ordinary knight Gareth, although he is a messenger of Britain, but the current situation in Britain, Queen Maeve has no reason not to know, and probably guessed Gareth's intention, so the queen will be so slack.

After all, it was Britain, not Connaught, who was asking for help.

Therefore, Gareth can only wait patiently, she can't just break into the queen's bedroom and pull the other party out to talk, right? Leaving aside the guards' reactions, even a married person like Gareth would not be able to disturb each other at such a time.

Fortunately, the guards were polite, and at noon they brought lunch to Gareth, and it was not until Gareth finished lunch that Queen Maeve was late.

The queen of red cotton pillows walked in through the side door, and walked straight to the throne in the center of the chamber without feeling awake, without even glancing at Gareth.

From Gareth's point of view, the queen didn't wear any decent clothes except for the cotton on her back, as if she only used a few simple white cloths to cover the key parts of her body, and the rest of the place was completely exposed, and the only decent thing was probably the white crown on her head.

"Ha~" Yawning lazily, Queen Maeve glanced at Gareth, then leaned on the armrest with her right hand, propped up her side, and asked, "So, is there something wrong?" Emissary of Britain. ”

Hearing this, Gareth even had the urge to flip the table directly on the spot, whether it was the queen's tone or expression, it was too bad!

Probably seeing too many well-bred women like his lover Leonis, the first time he saw Queen Maeve, Gareth had a simple sense of disgust, which was very difficult to accept as a bystander or as a woman.

To put it simply, Queen Maeve is too expressive.

However, Gareth did not come on behalf of herself at this time, so she also suppressed this anger, lowered her voice, and said in a male tone: "Queen Maeve, I am here on behalf of Britain in the hope that Connaught can give Britain a certain amount of military assistance, as for the reason, I guess I don't need to say." ”

Not going around in circles to express one's intentions bluntly can be regarded as a characteristic of that era.

"Hmm.... Yes, just ask your king to hand over the Knights of the Round Table to me, and by the way, I can also provide some assistance with food if needed. Maeve smiled at the corner of her mouth and said a sky-high condition.

This sentence made Gareth's green tendons hidden under the armor burst directly, if it weren't for this cover, I'm afraid the queen would have been able to see the pair of eyes full of anger.

"Queen, please don't go too far, we can't accept this kind of condition." Gareth was still holding back his anger, but his voice was already trembling a little.

"Then let Britain slowly perish, anyway, it doesn't have anything to do with me, and your king won't have any radical interactions with his subordinates, it's really boring and a waste of resources."

Arrogant and self-centered, this is exactly what Queen Maeve is best at.

The floor at Gareth's feet shattered almost instantly, and as it shattered, the guards at the edge of the chamber immediately gathered in front of the queen and watched the knights slowly moving forward.

For a moment, the air in the conference hall became heavy, and although the queen still looked like she couldn't wake up, the guards confronted Gareth tightly.

Not for anything else, just because of the Queen's extremely insulting speech just now, as a knight, he can't bear the insult of the other party to his loyal person no matter what, not only that, Maeve just said that it is basically equivalent to including the entire Knights of the Round Table, and the taunting effect is excellent.

As one of the Knights of the Round Table, Gareth naturally could not bear this insult.

It's just that Gareth is not such a reckless person, although she is indeed very angry now, because the queen's behavior is simply not to take Britain seriously.

Just kidding, if this weren't the case now, Maeve would have been enough to start a skirmish.

But on second thought, Gareth instantly understood why Maeve said this.

"Since the queen is unwilling, then forget it and take her leave." At the last moment, Gareth resisted the urge to do so, for she understood that the queen was only saying this to make her angry.

"Cut, it seems that the knights of Britain are not waste." The queen's face suddenly changed, and the laziness just now seemed to be acting, and Maeve's face was already full of disgust.

Walking out of the castle, Gareth let out a sigh of relief, fortunately she calmed down and didn't make a move, otherwise the future situation would not be as simple as fighting.

What is still sleeping, not waking up, everything is fake.

Queen Maeve should have woken up a long time ago, but it was just to make Gareth become agitated, so she deliberately delayed the time not to appear, hoping to consume Gareth's patience, so that when Maeve said insulting words, there was an eighty percent probability that the British knight would swing his sword directly.

And this move became a pretext for war.

The queen and the Knights of Fiona are not in a complete master-slave relationship.

In fact, although the queen of Connaught is Maeve, she cannot mobilize the Knights of Fiona 100%, and there is only one reason, that is, the Knights of Fiona are only loyal to their leader, that is, Finn McCool.

And there are many things that chivalry follows, one of which is not to use force against the weak, and Britain, which has been traumatized by many wars, seems to have met this condition very well.

Although the Knights of Fiona could be forced to send troops to Britain on the orders of the Queen, in that case, the knights would definitely be reluctant, and if they were forced too much, they might shoot Maeve back.

This is the disadvantage of chivalry, and idiots who are too loyal to the spirit are not desirable to some kings.

But if the knights of Britain make the first move, just as the knights can't bear the insults of others to the monarch, the knights of the Knights of Fiona will definitely not tolerate such behavior, not only for the knights who attacked, but when the queen orders to attack Britain again, there must not be too many complaints.

This was Queen Maeve's plan, to provoke the knights who came to provoke them, so that they would have a reasonable reason to send their troops, and also to make the knights of the Knights of Fiona willing to fight.

It's a pity that all these plans were noticed by Gareth.

So in the end, Gareth held back his anger and walked out of the castle, avoiding such a diplomatic accident.

After walking out of the castle, Gareth let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that not only the enemy who had already attacked, but even Connaught, who was temporarily in a neutral position, was ready to move, which was definitely not good news.

I don't know what the British are guilty of, there are always foreign enemies who want to invade their territory.

Along the way, Gareth looked a little listless, although he did understand Queen Maeve's intentions and restrained his actions, but the situation of not being able to justify the monarch still made the knight very uncomfortable.

Therefore, she didn't pay attention to the slightest change in the road, or the figure that came out of the side alley.

The crimson spear was aimed at Gareth's helmet, and the cuneiform characters that appeared on the streets, as bright as the lights, released a wonderful force.

Out of the knight's battle instincts, before the tip of the spear reached his body, Gareth sensed this sudden attack, but the power released by the words on the surface restrained her movements for a moment, even if she was a knight of the round table, she could not immediately break the ban on this rushing magic without being guarded.

The tip of the gun, just a few centimeters from Gareth's helmet.

And another voice came to Gareth's ears at this moment.

"Get out of the way!"
