Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: The Turbulent Situation

[You married Morgan as your Queen]

[This wedding was witnessed by all the subjects, and even other noble kings came to admire it; they saw the dreamlike wedding of Britain, leaving an indelible impression in their hearts]

[Although some came with a testing mindset, in the end, they were all shocked by the unimaginable scenery.]

[The fantasy species that had long disappeared in Britain, the magical beasts that only existed in past myths and legends, were like living beings, with magnificent high walls, an incredible scene of the subjects and magical beasts coexisting]

[No visiting king or noble could fail to be astonished by these scenes]

[They believed that in terms of identity and style]

[You are fundamentally different from them]

[As if the entire mystery of Britain embraced you, regarding you as the most supreme and noble king]

[The scenery within the walls was too far beyond their expectations]

[Unlike the past ruins of Britain, it was completely filled with vitality and hope; even non-human beings possessed such vigor that one could not help but believe the rumors]

[Even non-human beings pledged their loyalty to you]

[The most surprising thing to you was that Uther and Igraine also came to attend your wedding with Morgan]

[Originally, you both had no expectations for this]

[But since they came, it is naturally a good thing]

[Under the cheers of many kings and nobles, you and Morgan officially became husband and wife, and this scene was also observed by Igraine and Uther from the audience]

[Of course, you know they are just going through the motions]

[They never regarded Morgan as their daughter; they cared more because of you]

[Morgan wouldn't be so oblivious]

[Knowing that her parents had no love for her, they only attended the wedding because of her husband by her side]

"Is this enough?"

"Mm, this is enough. I never expected them to come from the beginning. I know they only have blessings for Britain in their hearts, and their eyes do not look at me. But in the end, I would like to believe in a simple beautiful dream and not think too much about anything else."

Morgan gazed at her parents in the distance from the courtyard.

She wore a satisfied smile on her face.

"For me, it is enough that they came. I will not ask for anything more from them. I am happier now than ever… Moran, all of this is brought to me by you."

"Since you think so, then let it be. It is a promise I made long ago to bring you happiness."

"Mm—"

Moran and Morgan intertwined their fingers.

What they were gazing at was the beauty of the present.

[In those deep affectionate eyes, each other's outlines reflected]

[Radiant smiles, excited attitudes]

[Just like the promises made in Tintagel, they are indeed making another promise now]

[Wishing this moment could last forever]

[Hoping never to lose this happiness]

[Now, as if existing outside of time, there is nothing more vivid to you than her appearance]

[This beautiful scene will always remain in your mind]

[Your wedding with Morgan has ended]

[However, the gloom lingering over Britain has not dissipated, as if to remind people of this fact]

[Vortigern leads the Saxons in a counterattack]

[Due to the humiliation brought by your previous strikes, the Saxons' madness has escalated to another level]

[Bearing the pressure from the Picts and other tribes]

[King Uther, as the leader of the kings, is at the forefront, leading his soldiers into the war against darkness]

[Vortigern has breached the heart of Britain]

[The fortress of Londinium and the royal capital of Camelot have been destroyed by him. The one hailed as the greatest king, Uther, also died in battle against Vortigern]

[It is you who ultimately took up the mantle of war]

[Using Tintagel as a defensive line to resist the advancing Saxons, you halted their further advance south, preserving the last hope for the Britons]

[As of now, for the Saxons]

[Breaking the greatest King Uther and occupying the two royal cities of Londinium and Camelot, victories like this are almost unprecedented and exhilarating]

[Washing away the previous humiliation you inflicted]

[Now, these Saxons feel that the other kings and nobles are not a significant threat]

[Only you, hailed as the Light King of Britain, with the island's mysterious aura, are a thorn in their flesh, a nail in their eyes]

[The death of King Uther is like a tsunami]

[It greatly impacts Britain, leaving people, even the kings and nobles, engulfed in fear]

[But as previously mentioned]

[Not all hope is lost; they still have the Light King of Britain]

[You are the son-in-law recognized by King Uther, with numerous great achievements in defeating the Saxons]

[You are celebrated domestically as wise and magnanimous, governing the country effectively]

[In the dark age of Britain, you still hold high the torch, standing at the pinnacle of invincibility as the final king]

[The court magus, Merlin, also accompanies you]

[In fact, since you appeared in Britain, people have seen Merlin more often by your side]

[Now, you can be said to be, after King Uther]

[The most watched king by the masses]

[Thus, to combat the seemingly insurmountable darkness, the kings and nobles choose to unite with you]

[The southern front is once again being reorganized]

"Ha, Uther even calculated his own death. Now I am pushed to the forefront by everyone, and all eyes are on me, hoping I will lead the people against the Saxons and Vortigern."

Moran stands on the wall that separates the north.

Morgan and Merlin are by his side.

[You are aware that those kings and nobles regard you as their leader, but this is not simply because they genuinely wish to pledge their loyalty]

[The dragon Vortigern and the Saxons are indeed terrifying]

[However, they also fear you]

[Even more than they fear Vortigern and the Saxons, they have witnessed your unfathomable depth at the wedding]

[They have seen the grandeur of your fortress-like walls]

[Such a bountiful land as Britain should not have the fantasy of being inhabited by desolate beings]

[This unrealistic capital of the kingdom]

[For them, it is likely a den of magic]
