Chapter 21: Wedding
Seven days later, King Arthur negotiated with Magus Merlin, and King Arthur agreed to marry Princess Guinevere. This made King Leodegrance smile widely these days.
The wedding was scheduled for half a month to coincide with the inauguration ceremony of the Knights of the Round Table. Artoria and Merlin both felt that combining marriage and formation of a group of knights together made Wu Ming extremely helpless.
"Haaahhh~ They want to set up the Knights of the Round Table at a beautiful wedding, I really don't know what Artoria and Merlin were thinking. Can't they be done on a different day? Why must it be on the same day, Haaahhh~" Wu Ming walked in the corridor of the royal palace and said to himself.
Suddenly, Wu Ming stopped talking to himself, his face seriously looking ahead.
A beautiful-looking woman came from the front. She wore a beautiful black princess dress with a transparent veil over her face. She wore a dark crown-like headdress, with long golden hair floating around her waist.
She took elegant steps, one step at a time. More importantly, the newcomer face was 70% similar to Artoria.
"Good afternoon, Sir Vero." The woman walked up to Wu Ming and gave him a noble salute.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness Morgan le Fay." Wu Ming also calmly bowed to Morgan le Fay.
"Sir Vero is going to talk to King Arthur about marriage?" Morgan said with a smile.
Even though he couldn't see Morgan face clearly, Wu Ming could still see that the other party was smiling.
"Yes, Your Highness Morgan."
"In that case, I won't bother Mr. Vero. By the way, please come to my room if you have time. I really admire Sir Vero." Morgan stretched out his hand to touch Wu Ming.
"I was in a hurry, forgive me for being rude." With that, Wu Ming passed Morgan and continued walking.
Morgan looked at Wu Ming back and laughed.
"Huh~ That person is here again." Wu Ming heaved a long sigh of relief.
Yes, ever since Wu Ming joined King Uther guard knight ten years ago, Morgan le Fay as a princess had often harassed Wu Ming.
According to the comparison in the legend of King Arthur, Wu Ming found that this Morgan le Fay was very similar to the Morgan le Fay in the story.
Just as dangerous and cunning, just as making people unable to understand it.
Wu Ming once wondered if the Morgan le Fay in this world was also a knight of the Knights of the Round Table.
In the legend of King Arthur known to Wu Ming, the Knights of the Round Table like Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth, Agravain, Mordred were born by Morgan le Fay alone. This undoubtedly stunned Wu Ming, how capable it was.
Therefore, Wu Ming had always believed that the legend was false, at most that Gawain, Agravain, and Mordred were born by Morgan le Fay.
Wu Ming estimated that in this world, even if Morgan le Fay gave birth, it was estimated to be achieved with Magecraft.
After all, even if Morgan le Fay gives birth, she will not give birth to half of the round table knights, the total number of round table knights is 150 and among them have outstanding contemporary talents.
Most importantly, King Arthur royal death had a lot to do with Morgan le Fay. She instructs people to steal the sheath of King Arthur Avalon (The Everdistant Utopia), confuses King Arthur and gives birth to Mordred, also because of Morgan le Fay relationship, Lancelot and Guinevere affair will be discovered by the Knights of the Round Table.
"I really don't want to deal with such a person," Wu Ming said with a headache.
Thinking about it, Wu Ming realized that he had walked to the door of Artoria office.
He opened the door and saw Artoria, who could already handle the paperwork on her own, and Merlin with a relieved expression.
"Well, you are here, Vero." Artoria raised her head and looked at Wu Ming.
"Yes, my king, the marriage arrangements have been roughly arranged, but you still need to review some details." As he said, a document appeared in Wu Ming hand.
Passed the document to Artoria, and Artoria scanned it carefully.
As Artoria was reading the documents, Wu Ming thought
"It's not always like this, I'm not here to be a secretary, um~ I heard Artoria say that her adopted sister, Kay, is very wise, and if she not working, I'll make her a secretary."
Poor Knight Kay, before he became a knight of the round table, had been appointed secretary by Wu Ming.
After Artoria explained some important matters and details, Wu Ming left the office and started preparing for the wedding.
....
In a busy schedule, time passes quickly, and soon the wedding day.
Although Camelot finances have not been fully recovered, Camelot makeup for the wedding is too rough, but this does not affect the residents of Camelot, the entire Camelot is immersed in the festive atmosphere of King Arthur wedding.
At the main entrance of the Camelot City Gate, Wu Ming brought several knights to escort Guinevere to Camelot.
Wu Ming led the team on the road and saw the bustling streets, they were all residents who welcomed Guinevere and celebrated King Arthur wedding.
Wu Ming waved to them, and the cheers of the residents became even higher.
Soon Wu Ming team of knights came to the royal palace, and Artoria wore the modern-style noble dress proposed by Wu Ming.
Merlin led with a group of ministers and knights to greet Guinevere. Although because of Merlin Magecraft, Artoria is a neutral man in the eyes of outsiders, but in Wu Ming eyes, it must be said that Artoria men clothes are very handsome.
"My king, I did not fail in my mission of escorting Her Highness Princess Guinevere smoothly." Wu Ming came down and beckoned Artoria.
"Good, worthy of being my number one knight."
Artoria took Guinevere from the carriage, and Guinevere wore a beautiful white princess dress with a princess crown on her head, and all the ministers and knights secretly admired her, even Artoria was surprised, but Artoria quickly came back to her senses.
"Welcome to Camelot. I am honored to marry you, Her Highness Princess Guinevere."
Guinevere looked at Wu Ming with a strange face, and finally sighed in her heart and said.
"I am also honored to marry you, His Majesty King Arthur."
Soon, the wedding began, and shortly after the wedding, the selection of the Knights of the Round Table also began.
The rules are very simple, the contest is based on strength, but dangerous moves that violate knightly etiquette should not be used.
In the end, a total of over fifty knights were chosen. Of course, this is only the initial stage. The Knights of the Round Table in the original King Arthur legends slowly increased later.
Coincidentally, in the final selection, Wu Ming faced off against a noble knight raised by the lake elves in British folklore. His name was Lancelot, and he was known as the Knight of the Lake.
After Wu Ming exchanged names with the other party, he found out that the other party was Lancelot, so the two of them fought for twelve minutes.
After all, it was this existence that was said to have been able to fight Gawain who had had the divine protection of the sun all day and finally won.
After a fierce battle with super high skills, Wu Ming got better and won by defeating Lancelot.
Artoria felt that this person was a talent, and decided to appoint Wu Ming and Lancelot as the first knights, while Lancelot insisted on not accepting him because of his defeat, and said so.
"This is my chance to fight the British Silver Dragon. If my king can make me a second knight, I will be satisfied."
Seeing this, Artoria gave Wu Ming and Lancelot the titles of "first knight" and "second knight".
Wu Ming said nothing, if people want to be second, then give it to him.
But Wu Ming still fought Lancelot, because one of the causes of the collapse of Britain was Lancelot.
But Lancelot gave a good impression, let alone Artoria, even Wu Ming felt that the other party was a noble person.
"Forget it, it will take a long time to see people hearts, the most important thing is that I will try my best to keep an eye on it."
With this, everyone started a banquet to celebrate King Arthur wedding and the formation of the Knights of the Round Table.
