Men are inferior to women

Chapter 668 666. The Way of the King's Balance
After the disappearance of Artoria, King Uther failed to have another child, so he could only carefully cultivate his eldest daughter Morgan as the heir.

Now Master Merlin suddenly appeared and brought his missing daughter to claim the throne.

How can such an important matter be changed just by saying it.

He wanted to refuse, 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, first arrange a residence for us, 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 breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered his attendants to go down to make arrangements.

After Fang Zhou took Artoria away, the voices of dissatisfaction among the courtiers were already very loud. How could it be the turn of a guy who appeared out of nowhere to point fingers at such an important matter as succession to the throne.

The point 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 Artoria left, expressionless, and gradually clenched his hands.

……

After Ark took Arturia out of the palace, a woman came in front of her.

This woman is about 30 years old, sexy and coquettish, with a domineering aura, staring at Artoria with a condescending attitude, her eyes are extremely unkind.

Arturia possessed a predator-like intuition, and clearly felt the woman's hostility, and looked back without fear.

This woman is King Uther's eldest daughter, Morgan, whom Ark met when he took Artoria away 17 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 will fight for it. This is the truth that Fang Zhou has always taught her.

"That's right!"

She threw the Broken Steel Excalibur on the ground, and replied seriously: "The throne is mine."

A look of coldness flashed in Morgan's eyes. She had worked hard for the throne for almost 30 years, but a bastard who came from nowhere dared to jump out and snatch her things.

The long hair was windless and automatic, black magic power permeated from Morgan's body, turned into a monster with claws and claws, and rushed towards Artoria.

Artoria swung the Broken Steel Excalibur violently, and the golden sword energy burst out, cutting the black magic power from the middle.

"what are you going to do?"

Pointing her sword at Morgan, she asked.

There was a flash of surprise in Morgan's eyes, it was no ordinary person who could pull out the sword in the stone.

When she was young, she also sneaked away in the middle of the night to try, but she couldn't move even with all her strength.

Some guards had already 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.

As a princess, Morgan is also involved in the abyss, if left alone, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble.

King Uther sent someone 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 [-] to [-]% similar to Artoria, and the blood relationship between the two parties can be seen at a glance.

There is no need to elaborate on the process of mother and daughter getting acquainted. Artoria has an extra mother, and she behaves 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 me?"

Fang Zhou asked, Ali Shaman is also Aya's mother, and the two sides 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.

The invasion of the abyss is difficult to stop, but at least the territory of Edran can be cleaned up. This will be Artoria's basic territory in the future and cannot be left alone.

After bidding farewell to the officials, King Uther rushed to meet Artoria. Whether the two parties were related by blood could be seen at a glance, but just in case, let the court mage test it.

Afterwards, King Uther met with Fang Zhou privately.

He couldn't let Artoria inherit the throne directly, otherwise the ministers would not agree, the queen would not agree, and the nobles would not agree.

As the sole heir, Morgan had received too many people's bets, and even King Uther couldn't bear the loss caused by the hasty replacement.

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 an explanation for all aspects.

Fang Zhou glanced at King Uther, and the nearly 60-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 express his joy and anger without saying anything.

Although Ark is the legendary mage Merlin, although he is the greatest contributor to King Uther's ascent to the throne, all these are nothing compared to the throne.

There may be dissatisfaction in various aspects, but none of these can trouble King Uther. The biggest dissatisfaction comes from himself.

As the king of Edran, King Uther would 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 regards Artoria as his heir, one day Ark will let Artoria take the throne, will King Uther obediently abdicate?

There is no such reason.

But if he clearly refused, King Uther was afraid that Ark would be dissatisfied and go crazy. He still clearly remembered the scene that happened 32 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.

Therefore, 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 fight, there is no way to threaten his throne before the winner is decided.

And King Uther can maintain the balance for the two sides, let them keep fighting until the end of King Uther's life.

This was the way of balance that King Uther had pondered for many years after 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 King Uther's heart shudder, as if he had been completely seen through.

Fang Zhou didn't speak, but the silent silence seemed to carry a huge pressure, which made Uther King's straight back gradually bend, and fine cold sweat oozes from his forehead.

As a king, he should be fearless, but under the pressure of Fang Zhou's silence, he was sweating profusely, and his heartbeat almost stopped.

Just when King Uther was about to be unable to bear the pressure, Fang Zhou finally spoke.
