Third person pov...
When Lance awoke the next morning he made Gwen some breakfast fir when she woke up, he the cleane up his bed and put the blankets back.
After that he left the joist and went up to the Castle, knowing his Dad and Papa would be awake by now.
Merlin enters with a breakfast tray. "Sorry. I know, I'm late." He says walking over to Arthur and putting the pray down. "Not at all." Said Arthur
"Good."
"Sure you're alright? You're not sick, unsteady, about to burst into song?" Asks Arthur, Merlin became confused. "No, why?"He asks the Prince as Arthur picks up a piece of paper.
Arthur began listing off the contents "Fourteen quarts of mead, three flagons of wine, five quarts of cider..." "I can explain." Interrupts Merlin.
"Four dozen pickled eggs."Exclaimed Arthur. "That was Gwaine. He went to the tavern and, er..he couldn't pay for it." Muttered Merlin holding hisnhead down away from Arthur's Fury.
"So you said I would."yelled the Prince not happy with his man servant. "Mm. You know, if I hadn't, that inn keeper...he, he would've strung us both up" said the Warlock.
Arthur glares at him "I fail to see the downside."
"You said he should be given anything he needs."
"Four dozen pickled eggs?!!!" Exclaimed Arthur still not over it.
"I'm sorry...I'll pay for it." Confessed Merlin making Arthur smirk at him. "You most certainly will." He said.
Later that day...
In the training grounds Arthur attacks a practice dummy. Lance was on his way towards the grounds looking for Arthur and Merlin.
He soon finds then and walks over "Arthur! Merlin!" He yells making them notice him. Merlin looks up and waves at the young boy.
Then Sir Oswald walks inf ront kf him blocking of his way to Arthur and Merlin. "You look like you need a bit of practice."said the Knight to Arthur.
"Ah, you think so?" Asked Arthur
"I know so."
Arthur then gestures "bring it" and Merlin hands Dagr (Oswald) a sword. Fight ensues. "You're rusty. You're not as quick as you used to be." Taunts Arthur.
"Still quick enough to hit you."
"I thought you were left handed?" Askes Arthur noticing. The Knight hesitates "Yes, I am, I..." Dagr (Oswald) switches the sword to his left hand.
"...just wanted to give you a chance. Why don't we make this more interesting? 50 gold coins first clean hit."He said
"Make it a hundred." Said Arthur.
Dagr (Oswald) attacks, Arthur pins his arm and taps his armour. "You can keep your money." Said Arthur.
Arthur leaves and Lance sticks his tongue out at the Knight as he follows behind Arthur. Ebor (Ethan) approaches Dagr (Oswald).
"Don't worry, in the mêlée there'll be two of us And with the Stulorne blade I will fillet the little brat." Said Dagr
Dagr (Oswald) turns to Merlin who overheard them as he picked up the borrowed sword. Dagr (Oswald) spits.
With Arthur and Lance...
"Are we going to see the King?"Asked Lance as he and Arthur walked. The Prince nodded his head and the two continued to the throne room.
When they arrive they walk in, Uther greets them from his throne. "Father" said Arthur bowing and Lance bows as well. "Your Majesty" he said.
The two then approach the King. "My Son, thank you for bring young Lance to me" he said making Arthur nod hisnhead at his Dad.
"Now then as you will be competing in the Mêlée, Lance you will get a room of your own in the castle, I expect you to be respectful and do well in the Mêlée" said Uther.
"Yes sir, I will!" Exclaims Lance he was excited to compete in the Mêlée. "Very good dismissed" said the King as Arthur and Lance leave the room together.
"Wow I can't believe it i get a room!"Exclaims Lance as Arthur showd him to his room for the Mêlée as everyone competing gets a room at the castle.
As they arrive Lance runs and flops o to the big soft bed in the middle of the room. "Thank you Arthur" he said smiling at the older man.
Arthur smiled and shook his head at the boy. He just hopes he will do well in the Mêlée.
