Li Wei had once promised Guinevere that he would carry her back to Valhalla from Liao Dekuan's royal city in a palanquin after she became an adult and officially married him.
Now, although it was indeed a little early, there was no other way.
"In order to marry the beautiful princess, I'm willing to offer all of Ryan's territory as a betrothal gift. What do you think?”
Looking at King Liao Dekuan's ashen face, Li Wei maintained a smile as if victory was in his grasp.
He had put in a lot of effort for this marriage. Especially when it came to betrothal gifts, he had to give Guinevere face.
The 1,500-odd treasures would probably not be able to be transported over, but in Li Wei's opinion, if he used the land of a country as a betrothal gift, it should be able to show his sincerity!
From Li Wei's perspective, this could indeed be said to be full of sincerity.
However, from the beginning to the end, Li Wei had neglected a very important problem.
It was true that King Liao Dekuan wanted this fat pig-like King of Ryan, but in comparison, he hated those barbarians from the north even more!
To put it bluntly, the conflict between Liao Dekuan and Ryan had only recently arisen, and it was a conflict that only belonged to the British.
After Artolia led her troops and repelled the attacks of King Ryan twelve times in a row, this conflict had almost disappeared.
Although King Liao Dekuan was fat, he was not stupid!
Of course, King Liao Dekuan was very angry at Guinevere's mockery of him. However, when he realized that King Liao Dekuan had a golden thigh that couldn't be any thicker, he wisely chose to retreat and personally wrote a letter of credence to King Liao Dekuan.
From then on, although the two countries could not be said to have resolved their differences, they were not as hostile as before.
However, the conflict between Liao Dekuan and the picts was different.
Liao Dekuan, who was located in the northernmost part of the country, bordered the territory of the picts. Ever since Liao Dekuan had founded the country, the picts had been taking advantage of the situation here, causing the kings of Liao Dekuan to suffer.
Therefore, compared to the conflict with Ryan, the conflict between Liao Dekuan and the Pikts had been going on for a long time. It would not be too much to describe it as a " blood feud "!
Therefore, under the influence of such emotions, how could King Liao Dekuan possibly take a fancy to Li Wei, the genuine King of the Bucketts?
This was the so-called hatred of the house and the crow. When Li Wei's betrothal gift that he thought was full of sincerity fell into King Liao Dekuan's eyes, it naturally became a kind of provocation!
Betrothal gifts? It was more like a threat!
"If you don't marry Guinevere to me, you'll end up like this. Today's Ryan will be tomorrow's Liao Dekuan!”
Anyway, that was what King Liao Dekuan understood. In fact, most of the guests present had the same opinion as him.
The barbarians from the north dared to act so brazenly on the land of the Britons?
If this was a battlefield, Li Wei would have been attacked by the indignant guests!
However, due to the special situation, they could only suppress their fear and look at Artoria, who was standing in the depths of the church. They hoped that the famous Knight King would stand up and teach this arrogant Briton a lesson!
This was her wedding, and she was the main character here!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Artoria didn't act immediately as they had expected.
When Altoria saw Guinevere throwing herself into her arms, she slowly closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down!
"Calm down, calm down!"
As a king, one had to be calm. He couldn't let his emotions affect his judgment.
A moment later, when she opened her eyes again, there was no hesitation in her green eyes.
Those who were familiar with her knew that it was the real 'pose of a king'. It was the form that Altoria had adopted after she abandoned herself and merged her will with the will of the country!
In this way, Altoria was an efficient, emotionless machine. Her rationality would completely replace her emotions and help her complete her judgment on everything. Then, based on these judgments, she would make the most reasonable decision.
In the next moment, Altoria had finished her judgment of the current situation.
Obviously, her ex-boyfriend seemed to be old friends with Guinevere. Otherwise, Guinevere wouldn't have such an abnormal reaction.
But the problem was that she couldn't admit the truth.
Because this was a matter of honor, Artolia could not imagine how the others and her people would look at her if Liwei really took Guinevere away from her wedding!
This matter would be a stain on her life. Even after her death, it would be recorded in the history books and ridiculed by future generations!
The glory of a king could not be tarnished.
However, in this situation, Artolia didn't pull out the Holy Sword at her waist. Instead, she turned around and bowed to Mei Lin respectfully."
"Master Mei Lin, is this the disaster you mentioned?”
However, Mei Lin, who was sitting in her seat, closed her eyes and did not answer.
She did not want to answer, nor did she need to. Because from the current situation, even if this was not a disaster, it was already evolving in the direction of a disaster.
Facing the silent Mei Lin, Artolia did not show any anger. Instead, she bowed to Mei Lin respectfully and turned to Li Wei, slowly drawing out the Holy Sword at her waist.
She had never thought that one day, she would actually point the blade of this sword at Li Wei!
What surprised her even more was that Li Wei had also taken out a Holy Sword!
Inside the church, the light of the two holy swords reflected on each other's faces, and the thoughts of both sides were contained in the sword shadows!
Then, Li Wei smiled.
"Hey, the wise and mighty King of Camelot, do you know?”
"Guinevere isn't actually a disaster.”
"It should be said that whoever marries you will become a disaster!”
