However, things are still a bit dangerous. Kamar-Taj is almost going to end.

Because the Atlanteans are not as reliable as imagined. They always make some tricks on some minor details.

For example, when Atlanna recalled Arthur to return to the Kingdom of Atlantis.

A fierce conflict broke out between Arthur and the Atlanteans. There was no way. Atlanna could never make the people accept her son. The higher the level, the more they opposed Arthur. They would rather let Orm come back than let a mixed-blood bastard rule them.

The reason is very simple. For the upper class, they think that their blood relationship is closer to the throne than Arthur. In this case, they will never accept such a low-blooded bastard to become their king.

Just like the feudal lords in ancient Europe could not accept illegitimate children to inherit the throne.

Of course, more importantly, Arthur has no foundation in the Kingdom of Atlantis.

Just like some nobles and monarchs in ancient Europe, they still had to declare that they were extinct even if they had illegitimate children. In the early days of European civilization, before the establishment of Christianity, during the Roman Empire, inheritance was not entirely based on blood. Not to mention illegitimate children, even nephews, nephews, and adopted sons, these blood-related or non-blood-related ones, can be the emperor's heirs, and it does not affect the inheritance of the dynasty.

The first factor that affects whether the heir is: strength!

For example, the first dynasty of the empire, the Claudius dynasty, Octavian was the son of Caesar's niece (nephew's grandson), and was adopted as a son (a generation higher and the mother became cousins, a bit confusing), but he still had the right of inheritance. Another example is the Antonine dynasty (96-192), the heyday of the Roman Empire. There were a total of six emperors. Except for the last emperor Conrad, who was the son of Aurelius and had a blood relationship, the other five emperors, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antony, and Aurelius, the most famous five wise emperors in the history of the empire, were all adopted sons and adoptive fathers.

To be more specific, Trajan and Nerva were not related by blood, Hadrian was Trajan's cousin, Antony was Hadrian's wife's nephew, and Aurelius and Antony were not related by blood. However, the emperors of the dynasty did not die out, and these adopted sons were recognized as the emperor's heirs, and the dynasty continued. These emperors had no sons? Yes, there were many! Then why not pass it on to their own sons? Because of the strength, starting from Nerva, the emperor realized that the stability of the throne could not be separated from the support of the army. The Roman Empire did not have a dynasty that lasted more than a hundred years! Every time the dynasty changed, the political situation was frequently turbulent, and wars, killings, famines, and invasions followed one after another.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Germanic barbarians moved south. These barbarians moved south as tribes, and the characteristic of the tribes was that they were maintained by blood ties! For these tribes, the inheritance without blood ties means the demise of the dynasty. Therefore, blood ties have been raised to an unprecedented height in Europe. The next king must be the blood of the previous king, otherwise it will be a change of dynasty. But in the early days, the concept of illegitimate children was still very weak. The reason is simple, because the marriage system of these tribes is not monogamous. The king (chief) is the biggest owner of power and wealth, and he can openly and semi-openly possess multiple wives.

For example, the first dynasty of France, the Merovingian dynasty.

After Clovis I died in 511, the kingdom was divided into four parts for the first time, and the four sons were not from the same mother (Clovis's legal wife was Clotildare, the Burgundian princess). After Clotaire I died in 561, the kingdom was divided into four parts for the second time, and the same situation occurred again. In 612, Theodric II died, and his grandmother, the famous Brunehild, helped his illegitimate son (a veritable illegitimate son) to the throne!

This is what it's like to be powerful. What illegitimate sons are not illegitimate sons.

In addition, religious reasons are also very important!

Still in Europe, for a long time in the Middle Ages, the divine power controlled by the church was higher than the secular monarchy. Marriage is one of the powerful grips of religion. By controlling the marriages of monarchs and nobles in European countries, religion has maximized the influence of the politics of various countries! In monogamy, only the heirs born from marriages blessed by God and recognized by the church have legal inheritance rights. Illegitimate children have no inheritance rights. In other words, if the king is willful and his hormones explode, and there are illegitimate children everywhere (this situation is very common), can he bear to watch his sons and daughters suffer discrimination and disrespect? Or, what if the marriage blessed by the church does not bring heirs to the royal family? Will the king be willing to watch the dynasty fall? This is a contradiction. Where there is a contradiction, there must be struggle. Where there is struggle, there must be compromise. Where there is compromise, it will bring benefits to the church!

For example.

In 1193, Philip II of the Capetian dynasty of France married Princess Ingeborg of Denmark, but Philip was willful. He announced the annulment of the engagement the day after his wedding night, expelled Ingeborg from the palace, and married a new queen a few years later. The Vatican certainly would not miss this great opportunity to interfere in French politics. Innocent III declared the new marriage illegal and imposed "excommunication" on Philip II, forcing the King of France to welcome Ingeborg back. The two sides had been in a standoff for more than ten years until the new French queen died of illness. In order to prevent his two sons and one daughter from becoming illegitimate children, Philip II finally chose to compromise, welcomed Ingeborg back, and recognized her status as queen. The Vatican received a large tribute from the King of France, the right to appoint French bishops, and also confirmed that Philip II's offspring were legitimate children. Both sides were happy. Poor Princess Ingeborg had been inexplicably displaced and under house arrest outside the palace for more than ten years, which was not something these people had to consider!

Of course, there are also times when both parties fail to control themselves and go too far.

The most famous example is Henry VIII of the Tudor Dynasty in England. This guy's mind is actually very simple, that is, to have a legitimate male heir! In order to have a legitimate son, he did not hesitate to declare Britain's separation from the Church and married six times crazily. Although he had a semi-public son early on, this son was not born in wedlock, but an "illegitimate child" and had no inheritance rights. He first made his illegitimate son Henry FitzRoy the Earl of Nottingham, and an hour later he made him the Duke of Richmond and the Duke of Somerset (double dukes are rare in history), and rewarded him with countless high positions and generous salaries. But he never thought about it, and he didn't have the courage to make this son legitimate and give him the right of inheritance! Because he knew that if he did that, the result would definitely be extremely dangerous and there would be no good results. He would be hunted by everyone, regardless of whether he was a Catholic or a Protestant. In addition, as a side note, although illegitimate children are the product of the church's suppression of monarchs and nobles, ironically, most of these illegitimate children ended up in the church. Priests or bishops, whose status looks beautiful and noble, are one of the few exchange items that the church can offer!

An illegitimate son of King Philip II of France mentioned above served as the Bishop of Tours.

Again, everything is for profit!

Atlantis does not believe in Christianity.

But their religion is also monogamous!

Whether it is Zeus, Poseidon or Hades, although they have many lovers, they still insist on monogamy, and they only have one wife!

Of course, this is actually related to interests in essence. I don’t know what the Atlanteans are like, at least it was the case in ancient Greece. Marriage played an important role in Athenian society in the classical era, and its purpose was mainly focused on giving birth to offspring and maintaining the continuation of the family. In classical Athens, the main purpose of marriage was to give birth to offspring. Both the family and society have given it great significance and value, because the birth of offspring is regarded as an important way to continue the family. Men need to ensure the birth of heirs to ensure the inheritance of property and the status of the family. At the same time, women’s fertility is regarded as an important aspect of their fulfillment of marital obligations. Producing offspring plays a vital role in the prosperity of society and the continuation of the family. Marriage was regarded as a kind of connection and continuation between families in the classical era of Athens. Through marriage, families established intermarriage relationships, strengthened social networks and the social status of the family. The choice of marriage is usually based on the interests and reputation of the family to ensure the continuation of the family and the inheritance of property. In addition, through marriage, the mutual assistance relationship between families can be strengthened and the harmony and stability of society can be promoted. The choice of marriage must be in line with the reputation of the family and social expectations to ensure the inheritance and inheritance of family honor. For men, marriage needs to choose women with equal or higher status than their family to ensure that the family status is not affected. At the same time, women are required to maintain chastity and loyalty in marriage to maintain the purity of family honor. The purpose of marriage in Athens in the classical era was mainly focused on procreation and maintaining the continuation of the family. Marriage is not only an important part of individual life, but also involves the maintenance of social structure, family relations and social status. Through marriage, individuals form close ties with families and society, promoting social stability and prosperity. However, we should also be aware of the limitations of the purpose of marriage in ancient times, which to a certain extent restricted individual freedom and right to choose, especially for women.

Marriage is an important social matter, usually decided by the family and society. The arrangement of marriage involves many aspects, including economic, political and social status factors. We will explore the arrangement of marriage in ancient Athens and its related contents.

First of all, marriage in ancient Athens was an alliance between families. Families played an important role in ancient Greek society because they were the basis of social organization. Marriage was seen as an alliance between families, aimed at consolidating the family's status and wealth. Therefore, the arrangement of marriages was usually negotiated and decided by the elders of the family. Generally speaking, men had greater freedom in choosing their marriage partners. They were usually encouraged to choose women of equal social status to ensure the balance and stability of the marriage. Social status was very important in ancient Athens, so the arrangement of marriages was often based on the family background and wealth of both parties. Wealthy families usually wanted their sons to marry a woman who was equal to them to ensure the inheritance of inheritance rights and property. In addition to personal and family factors, politics also played an important role in the arrangement of marriages. Political marriages were a common phenomenon in ancient Athens, aimed at consolidating the family's political status and power. Through marriage, two powerful families could merge their forces to gain greater influence in politics. This political marriage usually involved marriages between kings, nobles and other powerful families.

Arthur suffered a loss because he not only had no foundation, but the key was that his paternal family could not bring him any favorable support at all!

After all, his father was just a sailor... As for his father's family, let alone, his father was just an aboriginal who immigrated to the United States from Hawaii. Even his father's side, his ancestors were poor farmers for eight generations, and there was not even a tribal chief.

Coupled with the land people's blood that was generally discriminated against by Atlantis, Arthur was very unwelcome.

Those nobles simply could not accept such an heir to the throne.

And Arthur was also a hot-tempered person. He had a very strong self-esteem. He insisted that if someone respected me one foot, I would respect them one foot, and vice versa.

The humiliation and sarcasm of those nobles directly led to Arthur's outburst, and he completely ignored the occasion and started to spray... To be honest, it was really difficult for Arthur to learn from those nobles to speak in a sarcasm and sarcasm. He had no way to insult people without using dirty words, so all kinds of slang and dirty words came, making those nobles hate Arthur even more.

In the correct version!

Like most conflicts in the world, the verbal cannon eventually evolved into a brick fight.

Then a worse situation emerged.

Those nobles who were famous in the Kingdom of Atlantis all lost to the rude half-blood prince... The nobles with strong self-esteem would not be convinced by the prince they despised because they defeated them. Instead, they hated Arthur even more. They thought Arthur had embarrassed them.

It was very difficult to deal with.

The plan that Atlanna had prepared was completely aborted.

To be honest, she had always fantasized that Arthur would be accepted. Although it was difficult, at least there had to be a start. Although Atlanna had planned to hand over the throne to Mela, it did not mean that she did not want her son to return to the kingdom.

These were two different things... Of course, it was unknown whether Mela played a role in it.

Anyway, at this stage, Mela was the one who was most afraid of Arthur's return. At least before she had a firm seat on the throne, she would not allow Arthur to return to the kingdom.

Fortunately, Mela did not have to worry about this problem now.

Even if Atlanna broke her promise and forced Arthur to succeed to the throne, it would only directly lead to the nobles' rebellion! No one can maintain his ruling position after offending the entire ruling class. There is no other way. The rulers rely on the people of the same class to rule. Now the rulers can't even deal with their basic base... then there is no way to talk about ruling!
