Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from outside the castle, and Charles, who had already sensed who was coming, hurriedly called Artoria and Kai to the castle gate.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the martial arts training ground, they saw that the guards at the gate of the castle had lowered the city gate, and a group of cavalry rushed into the castle under the leadership of a man who was old but looked majestic and majestic although the city gate was just lowered.

The man who originally wanted to rush to the Duke's Palace saw Charles standing at the gate of the martial arts training ground by the city gate with Artoria and Kai, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop the cavalry behind him, but he hurriedly jumped off his horse and threw the reins in his hand to the guards behind him and rushed towards him.

"Your Excellency Charles! The king is dead! Duke Ector, who rushed over, had a sad face on his face, and there was a sparkle in the corners of his eyes.

"Duke, calm down!" Charles hurriedly stepped up to support the Duke of Ector, who was stumbling under his feet when he rushed over, and in order to bring the news back, it was obvious that the Duke had returned with his cavalry day and night, and there was no exhaustion on the face of the dusty man.

"Didn't we prepare for this five years ago, so the future of the kingdom still needs you, duke." Charles helped Duke Ector to the Duke's Palace, Ector urgently needed to rest now, otherwise his already old body didn't know if he could hold on.

As she walked past Artoria, Charles noticed that the girl's face was covered with tears, and the ground under her feet was already wet, and for five years she could only pretend to be a teenager who had been fostered here, and now, she could not see her father for the last time, and she could only wait for news from others here to know that her father had passed away.

This is such a sad and cruel thing for a girl who is not more than fifteen years old, but she can't stop her steps because of the grief of her father's death, she still carries the fate and responsibility of the whole kingdom, she can only keep wiping the endless tears on her face, and dare not cry out the grief in her heart, just because her identity cannot be exposed now.

As Charles walked past her, a voice sounded softly in her ear, "Artoria, cry if you want to, you don't need to hide your identity now, I will take Kai to the Duke's room, you go to your room and cry enough, in the coming days, you will have no time to grieve." ”

Artoria looked up at Charles, who had already walked past her, holding Duke Ector with Kai, and she was speechless, threw down the wooden sword she still held in her hand, and rushed to her room in the Duke's palace despite the surprised gazes of others.

Duke Ector naturally noticed Artoria's movements, but he could only watch Artoria rush into the Duke's palace with a hint of pity and grief, his lips moving but he didn't know what to say.

"Alas" Charles, who was standing on the side, sighed lowly, "Let this child cry well, for five years, she has been suppressing her reluctance to her father, and she has not seen her father for five years, but she has waited for this news." Even if you are prepared in your heart, you can't hold back the grief of the separation of your relatives. ”

"It's our old guys who didn't do their duty to let such a child suffer, and we also cried this child, let's go."

Kai, who was following behind his father and teacher, looked at the two in front of him blankly, although his heart was also hurt by the death of the respected King Uther, but he didn't understand why Arthur's reaction was so big, but he didn't dare to ask his father and teacher, so he had to scratch his head and follow behind them.

However, even if he didn't know what had just happened, he was not really ignorant, Kai knew very well that with the news of King Yusher's death spreading, the situation in the kingdom, which now seemed peaceful and stable, would change dramatically in a short period of time, and I am afraid that if the upper echelons did not handle it properly, the kingdom would be doomed.

However, the sky fell and there was a tall man on top, and Kai knew that although he saw that the current situation in the kingdom was completely like a powder keg, and he might explode with a "bang" at any time, but after seeing the heroic and invincible father and the clever and omniscient teacher in his eyes only sadness but no trace of panic on their faces, Kai knew that he didn't have to worry about the sky, this group of far-sighted old foxes were ready to deal with the situation in front of them, and he only needed to follow them and wave the long sword in his hand when the time came.

For the death of King Uther, in fact, both Merlin and Charles, as well as the group of nobles who had bad intentions, had long been mentally prepared. Everyone saw King Uther's physical condition, and they knew in their hearts that King Uther's body was like a candle in the wind, but it could only last for a long time.

Therefore, when the palace guard issued the obituary, everyone returned to their rooms and immediately regained their composure after performing a period of bitter weeping, and began to send people to contact the alliance that had been formed for five years. The situation in the whole kingdom is like a powder keg, which has ignited that short lead.

"Hahaha, that old guy finally can't hold on and go, master, you wait for the time to come, are you happy, excited!" Ryan had just acted out his grief over King Uther's death in front of everyone when he had just walked into his study and closed the door when a maniacal laugh rang out in his head.

But Ryan didn't care about the noise of laughter in his head, because he only had an unbearable excitement in his heart at this time, he had been preparing for five years, uniting many nobles who had lost faith in the kingdom and were ready to move, and the reason why he had tried so hard to suppress those stupid and short-sighted nobles in the past few years was because he had been waiting for this opportunity.

When King Uther died, the kingdom would fall into a leaderless situation, and even the existence of the respected Merlin could not suppress the current situation, and this time was the best chance for him to take back the throne that belonged to him.

"Hahahaha." Ryan tried his best to suppress his laughter, he was afraid of being heard by outsiders, his face was full of excitement, his eyes were full of joy and madness, "I've waited for five years, and finally let me wait, Uther, you old guy, finally can't hold on." Hahaha, it's hard for you old guy to hold up for so long, how many times have I almost lost patience, you old guy still doesn't die, and you still have to occupy that position and refuse to come down. But I still waited for the kingdom to be in my hands a long time ago. ”

Ryan didn't notice the bloody glint in his eyes, and all he could do now was the excitement of the news of King Uther's death and the imminent mastery of Great Britain, and he couldn't even hold the glass in his hand when he was about to celebrate with a drink.

"Master, it's time for us to carry out the plan we have prepared a long time ago, the old immortal will not die, we will almost be unable to suppress the group of fools who can't see the situation clearly."

"Hahaha, yes, I'll send someone to inform them now, but I'd like to see what that old Merlin guy will do here, I don't believe he's unprepared for the situation. But, in any case, it's time to give me back the throne. ”
