Warning: Violence
As years passed Merlin and Bronwens relationship blossomed, as well as Arhtur and his wife Guineveres. Guinevere was a lady of the court, who been raised with her elder borther- Elyan - as their mother had died in childbirth. Elyan who happened to be one of the king of camelots closet knights, cherished his little sister and was happy she found love. Before anyone realised, Gwen was walking up the aisle to greet her future husband.
Not long after the wedding either, it was announced to the kingdom that the queen was pregnant. Everybody expected it though as Queen Guinevere was loved and so was their long awaited King. Arthurs only regret was that his father was not their to know his son and see his union and meet his grandson, although Ygraine herself was ecstatic and proud of her son for his commitment to honour his wife and that he too had found someone he loved. His soul-mate so to say. Somthing Ygraine had found in Uther and she had so dearly hoped her son would find in someone. Guinevere was that person and from the moment she found out that Arthurs love for her was the same for her love for him, Ygraine was overjoyed at that. And quickly Ygraine grew to love Guinevere as her own daughter.
Rhys was yet to find love as most grls in court found him arrogant and selfish. As loyal to Arthur as he was, Rhys was yet to find love as most ladies wanted to sire his children for his wealth and the fact that he was heir to the thrown of a powerful kingdom. The one person Rhys couldn't forget however was lady Caitlyn. Since she'd beaten him when they were little, she was the face in his dreams and the ghost in his bed. Rhys longed for the dya when he'd be able to see her again and call her his.
Merlin and Bronwen were in love. Unlike Arthur and Guinevere they were not married however Merlin was hoing to propose soon and Bronwen was hoping Merlin would propose soon. Mordred had also found someone he took a fanyc too. Bronwens maid, Kara was beautiful. It was known that her and her sister were druids who posessed little magic, but Mordred was falling head over heels for her all the same. Kara and her twin sister Freyas camp had been destroyed when they were children and Balinor gave them to Balinors man-servant and his wife to raise as their own. The girls would've been about four then, the same age as Merlin which is why man believe Balinor showed so much compassion for the two druids.
Nine years had passed since Idris's last visit, Merlin and Mordred were both knights as well as Bronwen (Idris allowed female knights, if they had magic) who had improved her fighting skills since her win over her brother. The royal family of Idris were preparing to leave - again - for Camelot because Arthur had come of age, was married and now expecting his first child. Instead of King Balinor and Queen Hunith going to Camelot as well, just Merlin, Mordred, Bronwen and an extremly skilled and flirtaious, womanising drunk knight who went by Sir Gwaine.
"Sire are you sure it's wise that I go as well, unlike when I was younger my triskelle shows up more since I'm of age and well. I doubt Prince Rhys knows that I'm his younger sister." queried Bronwen as she stood in the King and Queens chambers with Merlin. "I agree father, here it's not uncommon for triskelles and they go unnoticed but there will be questions in Camelot." agreed Merlin with a protective arm wrapped around Bronwen "Also what am I suppsoed to do while we're there if Merlin and Mordred are in the war council for the whole visit. Don't say spend time with Gwaine either." Bronwen quickly added the last bit as an afterthought. "That's why you will acompany them to the war council, and then tell said war council about who you are child." said Balinor "No more discussion. I presume you are all ready since you need to leave." "Yes sire." said the adolescents in unison as they left the chambers.
"Are you ready yet love, Idris's royal family should be here soon." asked Guinevere Arthur moved out from behind his changing screen, nuzzling his wifes neck "I love you Guinevere" he whispered "Come on Arthur I can see them riding up." said Gwen as she walked off leaving her husband there. "King Arthur of Camelot, may I present, Prince Merlin, Prince Mordred, Lady Caitlyn and Sir Gwaine. Prince Merlin may I present, King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Prince Rhys of Kiadd and Lady Ygraine." Each royal family bowed to each other. For Rhys it was like his eyes were open for the first time, the gangly eight year old girl he'd seen last time, was replaced by a stricking sixteen year old girl with brown curling hair and deep dark brown eyes - similar to his own - who wore black trousers, a blue tunic with chainmail over the top and a navy cloak with silver dragons to finish it instead of the blie and black he had seen her in on her last visit.
As everyone split up to talk to each other, Rhys boldly walked over to her and smiled "Lady Caitlyn it's good to see you again." "I agree Prince Rhys, nine years is too long." Bronwen said anticipating whether Rhys disliked her or liked her "Lady Caitlyn if you don't find me too bold fro asking but…" Bronwens heart was racing at these words worrying what he was about to say next. "I was wndering why you are in chainmail and dressed like that rather than in a dress, suiting a lady of your standing?" dam you Rhys just ask her out already Bronwen breathed a sigh of releif at this "Because unlike Camelot, Idris allows female knights and as I trained with the princes from a young age, I was knighted alongside them." Bronwen smiled back at Rhys.
"Merlin I was thinking that we should go to the war council, bring your brother and, Rhys will take you there." Arthur said pulling Merlin to the side. Merlin looked around and saw Prince Rhys talking to Wen his Wen "Prince Rhys, King Arthur has asked me to ask you to take me to the the war council." At the sight of Merlin, Bronwen and Rhsy talking, Mordred walked over. "Yes sire, Lady Caitlyn perhaps I could escrot you to the feast later, after the war council." asked Rhys hopefully. "Actually Prince Rhys, I was asked by King Balinor to attend the war council myself, I have the letter of proof here, which if you read is adressed to King Arthur… So shall we go?" Bronwen said taking out a letter, smiling at all of the men surrounding her.
"Your highness I have a letter adressed to you from King Balinor. He said it was amndatory I give it to you before you start the meeting." Bronwen handed Arthur the letter looking around the room. There was a round table at which sat; Sir Lancelot who was talking to Sir Percival who sat next to Sir Elyan - who was chatting to the Queen - who was agin sat next to sir Leon who was chatting or maybe flirting with Sir Gwaine. When Bronwen looked back to Arthur he was at the bottom of the letter, his face pale with shock. Arthur put the letter down on thwe table before in a hush voice saying to Bronwen "You have to tell him, Rhys deserves to know the truth." "I can't tell him now, I need a reason to explain why after so long the baby princess of Kiadd is making herself reasonably public." Bronwen replied back "Fine then but you tell him soon." Arhtur sid taking his seat next to his queen, while Bronwen sat inbetween Mordred and Rhys. Rhys looked and smiled at her as she sat down, which sent shivers down her spine and, caused Merlin to tense.
"Morgause has found a way to get Camelot. My father father sired a bastard daughter shortly before his death. The girl claims to be Camelots true queen and will stop at nothing. It also widely known that she has magic." Arthur said looking around the room at the blank faces I guess they do look similar with the dark eyes and the similar jaw line Arthur thought to himself as he looked at Rhys and 'Caitlyn' "They have magic which means our defence re next to nothing, even with magic we can't be sure they'll hold." Bronwen said calmly
"How do you know, they've worked so long." Rhys replies "That's because we weren't being attacked." Bronwen said again still not even looking at Rhys "Then how do you know they won't hold?" Rhys said starting to get annoyed "Kiadd was believed to be the strongest kingdom and it fell, which means the defence won't hold." "My family died in that war, you stupid idiot, just because your mother probably shagged Balinor dosen't give you a right to be here. Even if you've also shagged the princes and that knight!" Rhys snapped which took everyone back. He shouted at Bronwen before punching her face, causing her to fall to the stone floor.
No one moved a muscle, not even the knights who Rhys just offended. They were all staring at Bronwen who's sleeves had rolled up, revealing a blood red triskelle on her left wrist. "Where did you get that?" Rhys said comparing his own to hers. "They were my family too… Brother" smirked Bronwen as she stood up not bothering to sort out her sleeves. "Wen are you okay?" asked Mordred "Wen?... wait you lie. You're not Bronwen… My baby sister died." Rhys said accusingly grabbing Wens arm expecting the triskelle to eith rub off or feel different to her skin. "It's a birthmark, as you should know, anyway did you see her die?" Rhys's eyes met her gaze "No…" Rhys whispered "you can't be…" He repeated to himself "I'm here to help my brother take his rightful throne and for Kiadd to be free and loyal to Camelot and Idris… Don't fret brother dearest… I knew who you were." Bronwen said sitting down admist the shocked knights and shaking Prince.
