A Minor Adjustment: Part 12

The room was silent, waiting for the king's judgement.

"Kara was offered mercy and refused it," Arthur's gaze swept the room, "Should I offer any less to Mordred?"

He turned to Mordred, addressing him as if they were alone, "What you did was wrong, and there must be consequences. But I don't believe you acted out of malice. We all go to great lengths to protect those we love. These events need not define your future."

Gratitude shone through the sorrow in Mordred's eyes, and he managed a smile, faint, but genuine, as he bowed his head 'Thank you, Sire."
