"Here" Henry said handing her a drink. "Don't worry, it is wine from my own personal bottle."
Today was the last day before Henry and his wife Irene travel back to their dukedom, Uther took it upon himself o throw another party.
"I Think your forgiveness, really had an affect on him. He has come to my lab for some handover medicine and the maids have even whispered that he had been spending nights alone." Rachel said lightly.
Henry smiled light, "Its not a very noteworthy when it takes for the man to sleep with his own brother wife." He added salty.
"Well, you really do scare him Henry. You do know that if you fought for the crown you would have won."
"I wouldn't make a Good King" Henry glance down truthfully, his gaze traveled to his wife talking to Morgan. Their conversation seems deep and filled with love.
"You are correct, you have talent but that talent. Isn't enough to make a good king, you are too week in decision making. You would end up a puppet of the court."
"What about Arthur?" Henry asked Rachel, he had known Merlin for a long time, this extremely talented person. Had produced amazing medicines, that put their medical
Hi father at the time, changed his mind only after a few months. He did everything he could to bring Merlin back to the capital much too his failure until he offered a deal that brought him back.
To this Day both Henry and Uther don't know what deal their father made to bring this person back. But Merlin had stayed after and had been the best advisor in both of their lives. Honestly, only until after leaving Camelot, he would never have put together how much better he made their lives.
"…." Rachel was silent
"Merlin?" Henry asked with a frown he was rather worried with them silence casted.
"Arthur is…. As he is now, he doesn't show the qualities of a king. Childish, egoistic, arrogant, Self-ent.i.tled and more. At this point, Morgan would make a better rule then he would and that is why I wanted you to adopt her and get her away from here."
"You act like she will one day want the throne."
Rachel just looked at Henry and finally he was silenced. "She and Arthur are innocent now, sheltered from what is truly cruel. When life's tragedies..h.i.t, what do you think will happen to them."
"….." Henry was silenced and sad, after the death of the former King, they had all changed. Uther had the biggest change when he was coronated a few days after his funeral. Because they where at War.
Rachel had brought Henry down and whispered in his ear, Henry's expression went from sad to pale as he looked at Morgan and then back at Rachel. Rachel took a sip, "Her fate is worse than Arthur, this place will not accept her for what she is. Henry those who have magic feel more then people, they can be easily corrupted by the world. The druids are the only ones I know who can keep her from that."
"How do you Know?"
"My village lived close to the forest; the druids often visited. Needless to say, I also know them, they praise you for not being like the rest of your family. Judgmental and rejecting your family's originals. I am going to retire for the night. I hope your journey home is well."
Rachel walked away and left Henry to stare at his wife and niece, he took in her words and suddenly felt worried for the future. The next morning, Rachel watched as Morgan was about to step into the Carriage. She saw the young women turn around to look at her before stepping into the carriage.
