Chapter One - The Confused Knight

Sir Leon, Knights of Camelot was in the Kings bedroom.

Why?

Because there was an army approaching out for Camelot, and they cannot fight with a newborn prince. The King and Queen need to focus on the battle.

"Sir Leon, you are proven to be the perfect solider" said Uther as he paced in front of the bed where his wife lay, holding the day old prince.

"Sire?" questioned Leon.

"I went you to run. Just run and do not stop running" said Uther.

Leon looked at the King as if he had lost his mind.

"I want you to take Arthur, and move. Train him but do not let anyone find out who he is and have him return on his 18th to help in the war. Train him please" said Uther.

"But I am a man, I cannot take care of a babe" said Leon.

"Which is why Lady Hunith has offered to go with you" said Ygraine.

"Balinor's wife?" asked Leon.

"Indeed, there are two knights that will ride you out of Camelot by a mile and I have also had some papers prepared for the two of you, Mr Albert and his wife, June" said Uther.

"And Balinor agreed to it?" asked Leon.

"Yes, Gaius has some old clothes for you to wear. So you go to Gaius and we will meet you in the Courtyard" said Uther and Leon was dismissed.

The confused knight made his way to Gaius' chambers and knocked and entered.

"Ah, Sir Leon. Here are you clothes, you can go and get changed back there" the old physician gestured to his back room. Leon followed the instructions and changed into the old tattered light brown tunic and dark brown breeches.

He changed quickly and he went back to the main chambers.

Gaius grabbed his arm on the way out.

"Good luck" he said.

Leon made his way to the courtyard to see the beautiful lady Hunith sitting onto a horse wearing a plain brown dress with an apron tied around the front. She held the young prince in his arms.

"So, sire, I have to raise the prince in the ways of the warrior?" Leon asked.

"Yes, and one his 18th birthday, return" said Uther.

He and Leon grasped upper arms and Leon got onto the horse.

"Be seeing you soon my love" Balinor said to Hunith. She smiled down at him.

"I will love you always" whispered Hunith. She and Balinor clasped hands, which he kissed before the Knight up front said they have to leave.

Balinor left go of his wife and they rode away.

Never to be seen for another 18 years.
