Deadly Bonds

I believe my father treats the Druids too harshly. They are a peaceful people who have never demonstrated any hostility towards Camelot. This latest escapee is just a child but ... the King's Law demands his death.

When I discovered Morgana helping the boy escape, my initial reaction was to turn a blind eye, but; with the soldiers around me, I knew I had no choice but to arrest him again.

Reluctantly I agreed to aid a second attempt. I had absolute confidence in Merlin, although his late arrival troubled me. The boy gone, I was certain we'd never meet again.

A/N: Not so busy now for a while, so I'd like to carry on with this series.

I'm also, once again, looking for beta readers, although not for this series or its spin-offs. The reason I'm 'advertising' here, is that last time I had a good response, and whenever I got looking for one myself, they never reply to my messages. So, ideally I'm looking for another Merlin beta, and betas familiar with the Dynasty Warriors/Romance of the Three Kingdoms and No. 6 series for the future. If one person can do all of these, that's fine, and if I have one for each that's also fine. The main point is that I can develop a good working relationship with you, so if you're interested please get in touch.
