Dragon of the Root

Chapter 20: Reason

After Wu Ming took a deep breath, and after turning his flushed face back to its normal color, he saw Guinevere who was still looking pale.

"Guinevere, what's wrong, your face is so pale." he asked without preamble.

"Ahah, it's fine, Your Highness Vero, you saved me again, thank you again." Guinevere came back to her senses and thanked Wu Ming.

"It's okay, a beautiful girl like you has to protect yourself in the future, I can't come to save you every time." Wu Ming shook his head. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

In fact, several years ago, due to King Leodegrance strange illness, King Uther once asked Wu Ming and Merlin to visit King Leodegrance. Back then, Wu Ming had passed through Guinevere once in a gorge.

Back then, because Guinevere wanted to gather herbal ingredients to cure King Leodegrance strange illness, she accidentally interfered with a powerful Demon Beast. Guinevere panicked and was forced to run to the cliff so she stumbled and fell off the cliff.

Wu Ming and Merlin who happened to be passing by, he saved Guinevere and killed the Demon Beast.

Coincidentally, when Wu Ming and Guinevere learned of each other identities, they were both equally shocked.

One of them was the British Silver Dragon Vero who was going to meet King Leodegrance, and the other was Princess Guinevere who was the daughter of King Leodegrance. This might be called destiny.

Wu Ming and Merlin went to the Leodegrance territory with Guinevere and healed the Leodegrance King. After that Wu Ming and Merlin said goodbye without delay.

King Leodegrance also understood King Uther situation back then, and he watched the two of them leave without trying to make the two of them stay any longer.

This trip might be a trifle to Wu Ming, but not so to Guinevere.

Since then, Guinevere would see where Wu Ming was going every day.

How could King Leodegrance, Guinevere father, not know of his daughter change? It was only because King Uther himself could not protect himself. King Leodegrance saw that he was an ally of King Uther.

In addition, this strange disease was also cured by Merlin. He didn't take advantage of the fact that King Uther himself was unable to protect himself and didn't pay much attention to King Uther situation, after all, King Leodegrance had to think about his own people.

Therefore, King Leodegrance pretended not to know, and did not speak to Guinevere about marriage to Wu Ming at all.

This time because King Leodegrance asked the new king Arthur for help, King Leodegrance made the decision to comfort his daughter during a crisis.

Of course, King Leodegrance originally wanted to betroth his daughter to the British Silver Dragon. But he saw young King Arthur.

Wu Ming was just a knight, but King Arthur was a king, and a king with endless prospects.

So the scene just appeared.

"You are worried about what King Leodegrance said just now? Wu Ming asked with a smile.

"How do you know no, no, no how did that happen? His Majesty King Arthur is very handsome and talented. Guinevere was taken aback and quickly changed her words.

Wu Ming continued to smile and looked at Guinevere.

How could the dignified Dragon of the Root fail to see the thoughts of the girl in front of him.

Actually, this girl didn't even want to cover it up.

"Don't worry, even if you marry the king, she will not take action against you." Wu Ming smiled mysteriously.

"Eh?!" Guinevere clearly didn't understand what Wu Ming meant.

King Arthur doesn't like me= King Arthur doesn't love me= King Arthur doesn't like women+ There's a handsome knight next to her= King x knights...

In an instant, Guinevere face turned red.

"Your Highness Vero, how can you commit such a taboo with King Arthur!" Guinevere shouted with a flushed face.

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, you must be thinking bad things. In fact, the truth is not what you think." Wu Ming patted his forehead, speechless.

"Oh! Not what I thought..."

Wu Ming immediately informed that Artoria was a woman wearing men clothes.

"Oh!" Guinevere exclaimed.

Wu Ming immediately covered Guinevere mouth.

"Don't shout, there are only men and women in this space, do you want to cause a misunderstanding." Wu Ming didn't realize that he had completely embraced Guinevere for covering his mouth.

Guinevere face in her arms became even redder, and she lay weakly in Wu Ming arms, and nodded slightly to show that she knew.

Wu Ming who found himself in an awkward situation, quickly let go of Guinevere and smiled awkwardly.

"I'm very sorry, Princess Guinevere." Wu Ming knelt on one knee, pleading.

Seeing the knight etiquette which was completely different from the rudeness earlier, Guinevere became curious.

"Un, wake up quickly. Huh~ Your Highness Vero, you are a very interesting person." Guinevere covered her mouth and smiled.

"It's fine if you're happy." Wu Ming stood up.

"In that case, Venerable Vero, why did you tell me such an important matter?" Guinevere asked curiously. It made sense that this kind of thing was already a secret incident related to royal security, but now Wu Ming was still telling Guinevere very calmly.

"That is because you will become queen, Princess Guinevere," Wu Ming said.

Yes, Artoria would marry Guinevere as his wife to consolidate her throne, this was also discussed by Merlin and Wu Ming.

When King Leodegrance saw King Arthur, Wu Ming would perform confusing Magecraft to confuse King Leodegrance and recommend Guinevere to Artoria.

In the end, who would have thought that King Leodegrance would deliver it to the door before Wu Ming did the Magecraft.

The reason for choosing Guinevere was because Wu Ming had read history books and knew the story of King Arthur, while Merlin chose several princesses from Britain.

He originally wanted Artoria to choose, but because Guinevere had with Wu Ming, Artoria chose Guinevere.

The consideration that Artoria mentioned earlier was actually a means. Otherwise, if Artoria had just met someone daughter and was still such a beautiful princess, she would have to immediately marry someone daughter as his wife. This is a bit unreasonable. That's what Wu Ming thought.

What Wu Ming didn't know was that Merlin was complaining from behind during the discussion,

"It seems the current kings of Britain are like this."

The reason why Wu Ming chose Guinevere was not only the reason the original legend said King Arthur married Guinevere daughter, but also the reason because Guinevere impressed Wu Ming last time when he went to King Leodegrance territory.

There was no regret for Wu Ming to choose this girl who could risk her own life for her father.

Ever since Wu Ming came to the story of King Arthur, he would work hard to stop any possible tragedy. Moreover, although there was a legend of King Arthur in this world, the legend of King Arthur in this world was not the same as the legend of King Arthur that he was familiar with.

The legend of King Arthur that Wu Ming knew well before was very different, the most important thing was that this world had mysteries. Overall, Wu Ming decided to try to change the tragedy without spoiling the general story.

"You can trust me with confidence. Still, I will protect you. Just like before," Wu Ming said sincerely.

"Un!" Guinevere looked into Wu Ming eyes that looked like black gems and nodded heavily.
