Chapter 20: I’m so Cute!

"They are just a group of knights who only know how to be brave. Their titles are not as good as ours, their fiefdoms are not as good as ours, and all they have is force." Geiger said, "Are they very powerful? How many people can they fight? Even if they are not in the fiefdom, I have hundreds of them here. A pile of private soldiers can kill them all."

This is the difference between a noble and a knight.

Knights will abide by the spirit of chivalry. Even if their status, financial resources, and military power are comparable, they will not act recklessly and bring private soldiers into Camelot.

"Why didn't you bring someone with you? We agreed to show that little boy some color together."

"Of course I brought it." The timid noble replied in a low voice.

"Then what else do you have to be afraid of?" Geiger asked in confusion.

Although this nobleman is usually cautious, his behavior is no less low-key than him. Uncharacteristically today, he acted like a girl, hesitant.

"You...look over there."

Looking in the direction pointed by the timid noble, there was a group of nobles chatting. They looked not much different from them.

Geiger asked in surprise, "What happened to them?"

"During the previous discussion, didn't we agree that we would force King Arthur together? But after today's visit, they have no intention of coming over to discuss with us. Could it be that they have secretly surrendered to King Arthur?"

"How is it possible? If they are still a noble and want status, they will definitely not take refuge in that young boy." Geiger didn't care, "You are too cautious. It is impossible for Arthur to agree to keep their status. At the same time, can we go further? Otherwise, why would they betray us? Only fools would do anything that does no good. "

That's right!

The new king has nothing, what can he give to the nobles?

Glory?

Nobles don't care about illusory things, they only care about real benefits.

Hearing Geiger's words, the nobles around him nodded in agreement.

Even the timid nobles who were full of fear before felt somewhat confident after struggling for a while.

"Compared to that, everyone, wait until next spring, Rome will send a mission over, and businessmen will follow. Everyone has made up his mind..." Just as he said this, Geiger's heart suddenly felt cold.

He turned around stiffly and saw a blond boy standing at the entrance of the hall, looking at him with a smile, as if saying hello to him.

Polite, yet gentle.

His blond hair is as soft as the sun, his deep eyes seem to be twinkling with stars, and his mouth has a soothing and friendly arc.

Perfect, too perfect indeed.

It's perfect beyond imagination, as if you are in the ultimate dream that only comes once in your life.

Geiger felt as if his heart had stopped beating for an instant. Apart from the blond boy, there was nothing left in his field of vision. Even the sounds in his ears seemed to have disappeared.

"Is this a dream?" He murmured blankly.

Only in dreams can such a perfect boy appear.

Then, his heart beat wildly, and excitement suddenly took over his brain.

Get close to him! Possess him! Die for him!

"Your Excellency Geiger? Your Excellency Geiger!"

"Ah?"

Geiger suddenly woke up. Looking at the dreamy boy calling his name so close to him, Geiger suppressed his emotions.

"Your Excellency Geiger, are you feeling well?" Arthur asked gently.

"No problem, of course no problem. My health is very good. Thank you for your concern."

"Hum, that's good. Since you are in good health, please stand back to your position. The ceremony is about to begin. In addition, is there anything dirty on my face? If so, please tell me. If not, please tell me. Take your eyes back, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable," Arthur said politely.

At least outwardly polite.

After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he led Kay and walked slowly towards the throne.

Well, to be honest, it was not etiquette to bring a personal escort on such an occasion, and Arthur was not prepared to take Kay with him.

However, Kay seemed to have misunderstood something and followed him without authorization.

"The charm of my king is unstoppable."

"Stop joking, Kay."

"Haha, this is true. Thank you for suppressing your temper and talking so much to that fat pig. Maybe this is the reason for your extraordinary charm." Kay whispered softly.

Faced with Kay's sarcasm, Arthur shrugged, "No way, this is the so-called communication."

"Even if he was discussing how to deal with you before, and you listened to everything?"

"Of course, the king of a country will not punish others for saying bad things about you behind your back. At least a wise king will not, and neither will I." Arthur smiled, "It would be too cruel to break people's illusions now. Let him smile more during the time he has left to laugh, and I won't have to put much psychological pressure on him when he cries."

Kay was slightly startled.

Listening to the meaning of these words, it seems that Arthur has already made plans to deal with the nobles.

Kay, who has been excluded from Arthur's inner circle in recent days, has no idea about this.

"I see, the king of benevolence will only make the other party disappear in secret, or make the other party disappear legitimately. Is this what you mean?"

"You understand quickly, Knight Kay. It seems that you also have talent. Do you want to arrange for you to go to Aggravain? He is in urgent need of manpower now. I guarantee that you will be reused, and it is not impossible to even replace him."

"Spare me, my king, the battlefield is more suitable for me." Kay smiled bitterly.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of the throne.

Arthur sat down calmly, while Kay stood behind Arthur with an expressionless face.

Arturia, who was in the crowd, also walked out and sat on another seat slightly below Arthur.

Arthur said hello and was in a daze the whole time like a normal person.

Although he has been in Camelot for a month, he has rarely gone out during this month, and has been checking information and making some plans. Most of the errand work was done by Aggravain. Not to mention meeting the nobles, connecting with each other and so on.

Therefore, many nobles present did not know Arthur. They were surprised that Arthur sat directly on the throne and did not react for a while.

Regardless of the surprised nobles, the ceremony officially began.

According to British tradition, most of the ceremony of succeeding to the throne, from speech to wearing the crown, is completed in the castle, witnessed by nobles and knights. In fact, it has nothing to do with the civilians. The people can only see Arthur after the ceremony.

Therefore, no matter how famous and popular Arthur is in people's hearts, it has no effect at this time.

However, this kind of ritual doesn't make much sense to Arthur.

It only needs to be recognized by the nobles and knights, and that kind of thing requires judgment before the ceremony, and the speech during the ceremony is just a dispensable step.

Otherwise, how can we expect these nobles who put their interests first to accept you as king for no reason without asking for anything?

Arthur understood the greed of the nobles very early.

Seeing this, Artoria couldn't help but wonder, "Arthur, why aren't you in a hurry?"
