"Your Highness, is there something wrong with me coming back in such a hurry?"

The white-robed bishop was baptizing the believers with holy water, and everyone's attention was focused on the baptismal table, and Gawain, who was sitting in the corner, asked in a low voice while observing the movements around him.

In the letter sent to him by Arthur, the specific situation was not stated, but Gawain was asked to return to London at a later date to discuss important matters.

On the way back, Gawain kept wondering if Arthur had encountered something difficult to solve, so he had to recall him from the outside.

Arthur glanced around, made sure no one noticed them, and then briefly explained Mavey's plan in a voice that only two people could hear.

After listening, Gao Wen nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case...."

"Doing so requires you to provide all of your private information, and I can understand if you don't want to." Arthur said, "I can find someone else." ”

"No, Your Highness." Gao Wen said in a serious tone: "Your Highness, you know me, all these years, I have been investigating the cause of my father's death, although I suspect that it is related to the eldest prince, but I have never had conclusive evidence, and I have to be busy with company affairs, I can't spare time, plus the identity problem, it is difficult to carry out an in-depth investigation of many things.... Swapping identities with Father Mavi will allow me to get out of corporate affairs, so that I will have enough time to do other things. ”

"You agree?"

"Hmm."

"Okay, tonight, come to this address, someone there will pick you up."

Arthur took out a finger-sized note, handed it to Gawain, and then got up and walked to the baptistery, while Gawain took the opportunity to leave the church.

At 9 p.m., as night wore on, a big party was going on on Albany Street on the east side of Regent's Park, and a mysterious wealthy merchant bought all the beers in Lady Crisp Breast's Tavern and served them to the guests for free.

Even Scotland Yard has stepped up patrols around Albany Street, where not only residents who receive free beer, but also 'rats' who come to smell it.

In order to prevent the wallet from being stolen, many experienced residents simply keep their wallets at home and carry only a few pennies with them in case of emergency, so that even if the money is stolen, they don't have to feel sorry, just use it as money to buy beer.

As more and more people gathered on Albany Street, Gawain's figure also appeared in the crowd, and he followed the crowd to the front of the Lady Crisp Breasts Tavern and blended into the store.

Bubbling and foaming refreshing beer was handed to the guests who entered the store one after another, and the boss wearing a low-cut costume and bare two half-balls threw a charming look at the guests, and the guests stared wide-eyed, eager to plunge into the soft breasts of the proprietress and no one noticed Gawain next to him.

Gawain hid at the very edge of the crowd and slowly moved towards the bar, and just as he approached the bar partition, suddenly an arm grabbed his sleeve from below, and Gawain lowered his head and saw a little girl with dirty cheeks and a red plaid skirt, twelve or thirteen years old.

The little girl gestured to him in silence and pulled him over the counter partition and bent over to the backstage of the tavern.

Gawain had never seen this little girl, he didn't even know that the proprietress of the Crisp Breasts Tavern was also loyal to Arthur's subordinates, Arthur was very mysterious, he trusted Gawain, he trusted his Knights of the Round Table, but trust is trust, many secrets, only he knows.

The backstage of the tavern was crowded and narrow with wooden crates and oak barrels for wine, and the little girl shuttled through them, agile like a red elf, and she led Gawain all the way to the storage room, pushed open the dusty shelves, and pressed the second stone brick in the third row of the left hand and the fifth in the first row of the right hand, only to hear a 'click' on the floor.

Under Gawain's gaze, the little girl tiptoed down the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall, held it high, and handed it to Gawain.

“......”

Gawain took the kerosene lamp, the little girl turned over the bouncing floor, below was a dark staircase leading to the underground, she pushed Gawain's back with both hands, pushed Gawain forward, until Gawain walked into the staircase, closed the floor, jumped up and stepped on it a few times.

After making sure that the floor is perfectly closed, the shelves are put back in place, then they grab the crockpot in the corner, grab a handful of dust inside, and sprinkle it on the floor and shelves.

Gawain walked alone in the dark tunnel, surrounded by darkness and cold air.

The proprietress of the crisp-breasted tavern, the little girl, the mysterious rich merchant who chartered the restaurant....

Of course, these phenomena are not coincidences, but Arthur's actions, Gawain does not know anything, he has just returned to London, here, not his territory.

"Your Highness is hiding so deeply...."

As he walked, Gawain suddenly sighed faintly.

He couldn't see through Arthur, or rather, a lot had changed in the year since Arthur returned to London.

Arthur was no longer the same as he was in New Ross, he had done more of the decoration in London, and the tavern of the Lady with Crisp Breasts was just one of them, and the other places that could not be seen.... How many more?

Vaguely, Gawain recalled the scene when he and Arthur first met many years ago, when Arthur was just a child who was devoured by hatred, and now many years have passed, Arthur....

He has long grown into a real man.

He began to become reserved and silent.

In Arthur's body, Gawain saw a trace of the momentum that belonged to the king.

As the second seat of the Knights of the Round Table and one of the first members to join the Knights of the Round Table, Gawain felt that he should be happy for Arthur's growth, but he was so happy that a trace of fear was born.

You must know that kings are often cold-blooded creatures.

Praise and encouragement to subordinates, even closeness and love, are just a means for kings to control people.

"You should be wary of smiles on other people's faces, not hatred."

"Hatred will alert you, but smile will numb you."

"When the superior smiles at you, it's time to think about your own advances and retreats."

Gawain's voice sounded in his head, Arthur rarely smiled, and even when he did, it was a sneer at the enemy, and when he was with his subordinates, he was often expressionless.

While thinking about it, Gawain came to an iron door, and there was no cloak or sword belonging to the Knights of the Round Table hanging from the door, which meant that the proprietress of the Lady Crisp Breasts Tavern was not the Knights of the Round Table, and the secret passage in the storage room could be some special emergency entrance.

Looking at the rusted stains on the iron door from the passage of time, Gawain was even more convinced that Arthur had built this secret passage a long time ago, and he took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Dongdong!

Kada...

The heavy iron door opened, and a warm current rushed in, and in the wide dark room, a huge wooden round table was placed, and above the table, six bright red flags were hung, which were the commandments of the Knights of the Round Table.

[Never rage and murder]

【Never Betray】

.......

Everything is the same as the dark room under New Ross, and I don't know who carved whom.

At the top of the round table, there sat a blond man, it was Arthur, and beside him, there were several familiar and strange people.

"Gawain, let me introduce you, this is Father Mavi, Evangel Bojie, and Daniel..."

Unfamiliar, because before today, Gao Wen had never formally communicated with Ma Wei, and he was familiar with it because Gao Wen had already investigated Ma Wei.

Gawain took off his hat and leaned forward slightly: "Father Mavi, I am Russell Benjamin when we meet for the first time. ”

"Mr. Benjamin, I have admired my name for a long time." Ma Wei smiled: "I have heard Arthur mention you a long time ago, the second seat of the Knights of the Round Table, Gawain riding a white horse.... Right? ”

"You're wrong." Gawain said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Sit down."

Arthur beckoned to Gawain, motioned for him to sit beside him, and after letting the maid serve the red wine, he said in a deep voice: "After tonight, Gawain, you are no longer Russell Benjamin, you can't contact your relatives in any way, you must completely forget the identity of Russell Benjamin, the Kingdom of Windsor, there is only one Russell Benjamin, that is Father Mavi, do you understand?" ”

"Understood."

"If there's anything you want to say to your family, write it down as soon as possible."

"What I want to say, they already know."

"Hmm."

Arthur nodded slightly, looked at Mavi, and after meeting his eyes, he said again:

"Then begin, Gawain, you tell Father Marvey all the information about Russell Benjamin without missing a word, and no matter what happens in the future, you must not meddle in Russell Benjamin's affairs until the exchange is over."
