Chapter 668 666. The Way of the King's Balance
After Artoria disappeared, King Uther failed to have another child, so he could only carefully raise his eldest daughter Morgan as the heir.
Now Master Merlin suddenly appeared and brought his missing daughter to claim the throne.
Such an important matter, how can you change it just by saying it.
He deliberately refused, but he was afraid of offending Master Merlin.
Fang Zhou saw King Uther's difficulty and said with a smile: "The matter is important, you can discuss it first before replying, arrange a residence for us first, and invite Artoria's mother over here, it's time for mother and daughter to get to know each other. "
Seeing that Fang Zhou was so reasonable and gave a buffer time, King Uther was relieved, and quickly ordered his attendants to go down to make arrangements.
After Ark left with Artoria, the voices of dissatisfaction among the officials were already very loud. How could it be the turn of a guy who suddenly appeared to point fingers at such a major event as the succession of the throne.
The key is that King Uther, who has always been decisive, is still acquiescing, which is really puzzling.
King Uther looked at the direction where Ark and Arturia left, expressionless, and gradually clenched his hands.
…
After the Ark took Artoria out of the palace, a woman came in front of her.
This woman is probably in her thirties, **** and coquettish, with a domineering aura, staring at Artoria with a condescending attitude, her eyes are extremely unkind.
Artoria possessed a predator-like intuition, clearly felt the woman's hostility, and looked back without fear.
This woman is King Uther's eldest daughter, Morgan. Ark met her when he took Artoria away seventeen years ago.
The two sisters looked at each other for a while, and Morgan suddenly smiled slightly: "Only you want to be King of Edran?"
Artoria has no interest in being king, but Fang Zhou said that the throne belongs to her, so she has to fight for it. This is the truth that Fang Zhou has always taught her.
"Exactly!"
She threw the Broken Steel Excalibur on the ground, and replied seriously: "The throne is mine."
A coldness flashed in Morgan's eyes. She had worked hard for the throne for nearly thirty years, but a **** who came from nowhere dared to jump out and **** her things.
The long hair was windless and automatic, and the black magic power diffused from Morgan's body, turning into a monster with teeth and claws, and rushed towards Artoria.
Artoria swung the Steel Excalibur violently, and golden sword energy pierced through the air, cutting the black magic power from the middle.
"what are you up to?"
She pointed her sword at Morgan and asked.
A trace of surprise flashed in Morgan's eyes. It was no ordinary person to be able to pull out the sword in the stone.
When she was young, she also sneaked out to try in the middle of the night, but she couldn't move with all her strength.
Some guards have noticed this, Morgan didn't do anything more, just glanced at Artoria and Ark coldly, turned and left.
Fang Zhou looked at Morgan’s leaving back, frowning slightly.
Morgan's magic power looks like the magic power of the dark attribute, but the ark feels a trace of the abyss.
The abyss has eroded this world more and more frequently, and many people can touch it. If the mind is not firm, it is easy to be tempted to fall.
Morgan, as the princess, is also involved in the abyss, if left alone, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble.
King Uther sent people to arrange a residence for Artoria and Ark in the palace, and not long after, Ali Shaman rushed over.
She has been haggard for many years but has not concealed her beauty. She has blond hair and blue eyes, and her appearance is 80 to 90% similar to Artoria, and the blood relationship between the two parties can be seen at a glance.
There is no need to repeat the process of mother and daughter getting to know each other. Artoria has an extra mother, and she is a little uncomfortable.
Compared with this strange mother, she actually prefers being with Aya.
When Artoria was entangled by her mother, Fang Zhou came outside the palace and met Aya.
"Aren't you going to meet?"
Ark asked, Ali Shaman is also Aya's mother, and the two parties never knew each other before she was alive.
Aya shook her head: "Forget it, I am very happy to have my daughter back. If there is another daughter, it will not be happy."
Fang Zhou did not force her, and briefly described Morgan's situation.
Aya murmured: "Shall I investigate?"
Fang Zhou nodded. Now he has to take care of Artoria and cannot leave, so he can only ask Aya to find out the details.
It is difficult to stop the invasion of the abyss, but at least the territory of Edran can be cleaned up. This will be Artoria's basic disk in the future, and it cannot be left alone.
After bidding farewell to the officials, King Uther came to meet Arturia. Whether the two parties are related by blood can be seen at a glance, but just in case, let the court mage test it.
After that, King Uther met with Fang Zhou in private.
He couldn't let Arturia inherit the throne directly, otherwise the ministers would not agree, the queen would not agree, and the nobles would not agree.
Morgan used to be the sole heir, and got too many people's bets. Even King Uther couldn't bear the loss caused by the hasty substitution.
So King Uther decided to restore Artoria's status as a princess first, let her slowly compete with Morgan, and use her results to speak, before finally deciding who is the heir.
In this way, King Uther has explained all aspects.
Fang Zhou glanced at King Uther, and the nearly sixty-year-old man in front of him was no longer the timid young man he was back then.
He is quite a man of the city, and he is also good at the power of the emperor, and he can be happy and angry without saying anything.
Although Ark is the legendary mage Merlin, although he is the greatest contributor to King Uther's ascension to the throne, all these are nothing compared to the throne.
There may be dissatisfaction in various aspects, but these are not difficult for King Uther. The biggest dissatisfaction comes from himself.
As the king of Edran, King Uther will never tolerate being led by the nose in the matter of succession to the throne, let alone being kicked out of power.
Now, if he agrees to Ark’s request and treats Artoria as the heir, one day Ark wants Artoria to take the throne, will King Uther obediently abdicate?
There is no such reason.
If he can clearly refuse, King Uther is afraid that Ark will be dissatisfied. He still clearly remembers the scene that happened thirty-two years ago.
The power of the legendary mage is too strong, and indeed has the power to determine the change of a country's monarch.
So King Uther came up with this compromise method to restore Artoria's princess status and let her compete with Morgan.
As long as the two sides are fighting, there is no way to threaten his throne before the winner is decided.
And King Uther can maintain the balance for both sides, let them keep fighting until the end of King Uther's life.
This is the way of balance that King Uther has been pondering for many years since he became king.
Before he came, he believed that Fang Zhou should not be able to see his plan.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the look in Fang Zhou's eyes made Uther King's heart shudder, as if he had been completely seen through.
Fang Zhou didn’t speak, but the silent silence seemed to carry tremendous pressure, which made King Uther’s tall and straight back gradually bend, and fine cold sweat oozes from his forehead.
As a king, he should be fearless, but under the pressure of Ark's silence, he was sweating profusely, and his heartbeat almost stopped.
Just when King Uther was about to be unable to bear the pressure, Ark finally spoke.
