King Uther didn't understand what Kai said, but like all parents, he was a little resistant to being submissive to his children. This kind of behavior was very common.
Many times, even if parents clearly know that what they did is wrong, they are still more willing to use a tough attitude to cover it up instead of apologizing to their children heartily, as if doing so would undermine the dignity of their parents.
This is especially true for King Uther. His arrogance really makes it difficult for him to surrender to anyone, especially since he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong. Instead, he feels that Morgana and Arthur cannot understand his painstaking efforts.
So Kai had to be the peacemaker.
Morgana and the others were not ignorant of good and evil. When Kai analyzed King Uther's painstaking efforts to them, Morgana and Arthur also understood how much their own self-righteous justice had dealt a blow to King Uther. They tried their best to
They protect them and don't want them to be exposed to danger, but what about them? They uphold their own justice and deceive and hurt King Uther with peace of mind, and even attribute all this to King Uther's fault on their own initiative.
This kind of thinking is not only irresponsible, but also seems to repay kindness with hatred.
After understanding this, Morgana still didn't think there was anything wrong with letting go of a child, but they did do something wrong with King Uther. They shouldn't treat their father like this.
In this way, under Kai's mediation, the relationship between father and daughter and father and son greatly eased.
…
Just when the royal family was enjoying themselves, the former enemies of Camelot were unwilling to be left alone and returned here again.
A witch came to Camelot under the cover of darkness. She looked at Camelot, which was still prosperous today, and the anger in her heart could no longer be contained.
"It's time to pay, Uther!"
…
After Kai returned, an important ceremony that had been prepared for a long time could finally be carried out!
The canonization ceremony of the prince!
Canonize a prince? Who canonize? Kai? Isn’t Kai an adopted son?
of course not.
The canonization here refers to Arthur. In the Celtic Kingdom, "prince" is just a title, not a formal title, so the prince will definitely have a formal title after he reaches adulthood. For example, Kai is a prince.
When King Arthur adopted Kai as his adopted son, he was a prince. Arthur was even more so, and he did not need to be formally canonized.
What really needs to be conferred is the title! Take Kai, for example, he is a prince, but his title is knight, which means that Kai has his own territory. Princes must have titles, otherwise they have no formal official status. This is also a title given to the throne.
The heir has the opportunity to start forming his own team. It is also the ceremony to formally establish the heir.
For example, the eldest son of a British monarch in later generations will be titled "Duke of Cornwall", and the second son will be titled "Duke of York." In theory, the eldest son of the monarch is the heir to the throne, but there is no such title as "Crown Prince" in the UK, and the title of the heir to the throne is
"Prince of Wales". But in addition, the monarch generally does not have only one son, so other princes must also be knighted.
Arthur was already an adult, and the canonization should have been held long ago. But at that time, Arthur was the only male heir under King Uther, so there was no need to rush, so he kept putting it off. But it is different now. Kai's return has made
The heir to the throne must be established as soon as possible.
Don’t forget, Kai also has the right to inherit the throne. In addition, Kai’s reputation and ability are impeccable. If King Uther still delays Arthur’s canonization ceremony, this will cause the foundation of the kingdom to be unstable. In a feudal society, inheritance rights are
More important than anything else.
Knights need to know who they are loyal to, otherwise it is very likely to cause division within the kingdom due to unclear successors.
Although King Uther is very worried about Kai, this kind of thing cannot be acted on impulse. This is not even based on King Uther's own will. In the past two months since Kai's return, many nobles have come to King Uther in a roundabout way.
He said so and let him establish his successor as soon as possible.
To put it simply, Arthur's canonization is related to the stability of the entire kingdom, and it is not King Uther's turn to be emotional.
…
On the night of the third day after Kai returned, the canonization ceremony was officially held.
On this day, almost all the nobles of Camelot came to the palace. Their arrival was not just as simple as participating in the ceremony and eating and drinking. It was also a very important political occasion. The first thing they had to do here was to pay tribute to Camelot.
The undisputed heir of Lot takes the oath of allegiance, and is also an important social event within the kingdom.
In this era of very low productivity, it is not easy for the nobles of the kingdom to gather together. Although they are all in the same kingdom, the distance between them is actually quite far. There are no roads or cars here, and there are no roads.
It is also full of barbarians, bandits, beasts and monsters, and the cost of communication is too high.
To gather the nobles of the entire kingdom, there are usually some very important occasions, such as the king's wedding, the king's enthronement, the king's death and the canonization of princes.
Today, Kai's eldest brother and sister-in-law are here. They came from the family territory with Kai. Kai received a messenger from Morgana before, so he left the main force and rushed to Camelot in advance. They came back after Kai
Arrive at Camelot on the second day.
Originally, Kay's father should have attended this occasion in person, but unfortunately, Sir Ector's old waist could no longer support him from coming all the way to Camelot. Sir Ector was older than
King Uther is slightly older, and he was seriously injured on the battlefield before, so his current physical condition is much worse than that of King Uther.
Faced with the absence of his old friend, King Uther has been disappointed for a long time. He has not seen Ector for two years. He understands that as time goes by, the chance of them meeting will become increasingly slim. But for
King Uther was still very enthusiastic about the arrival of Kai's eldest brother Eric.
Eric is Eckert's heir, and now Eckert sends him here, his intention is very obvious.
Thinking of Ector's actions, King Uther was happy but also thought of himself. He felt that it was definitely the right choice for him to canonize Arthur at this time. After all, he was not much younger than Ector.
In the evening, everyone gathered in the palace hall. Witnessed by all the nobles of the kingdom, Arthur knelt on one knee in front of King Uther.
"Are you willing to take an oath to rule the land and its people of this kingdom and abide by the customs and laws passed down by your ancestors?"
Arthur solemnly swore: "Ido, sire." (I am willing, Your Majesty)
"Will you take an oath to speak and act justly and kindly?"
"Ido,sire."
At this point, King Uther placed a golden scepter in front of Arthur.
"Will you pledge your life's duty to Camelot?"
Arthur held the scepter in his hand and swore loudly, "I, Arthur Pendragon! I swear on my life, to be loyal throughout my life, to protect the kingdom and its people!"
King Uther smiled and let go of the scepter in his hand, letting Arthur take the scepter in his hand, and then took a crown from Kai's hand.
"Start now, and you will create your own era."
King Uther placed the crown on Arthur's head, officially announcing Arthur's title.
"In the name of the kingdom and ancestors, I name you the Prince of Camelot."
