WOW it has been a LONGGGG time. Like woah, sorry guys I had the biggest writers block of all time! So anyways here is the new chapter. If things seem kinda rough and wierd its because I completely forgot my main idea, and so I went with a new plot. Alright keep on reading.
Lancelot found the women huddled together they were in a tight circle talking quietly to themselves. Arthur came up beside Guinevere and put his arms around her. Rosalyn looked frantic and Lancelot couldn't tell if she was worried or mad, although he guessed she was a little of both. He went closer and could here Rosalyn talking to Dinna.
"What does he know, he said that not all of them were dead. How can that be."
"Dear I don't know" Dinna looked sad. "My child there were many things that have not been told to you about your families escape." She saw the glare and anger in Rosalyn's eyes. "Calm child we must not speak here" Dinna drew them all into the large room with the round table. All the knights took there seats, and Rosalyn sat next to Guinevere.
Arthur spoke first "As you know we keep no secrets here, so Dinna if you would be so kind as to tell your story."
"It begins long ago, when a king took in a young orphan boy to raise as his own son. For his wife could not bear children. They named him Aiden. No one knew where the boy came from, but that didn't matter for the King had sworn him as his own. As the child grew to be a man the King had his own children from his second wife, a son, William then a daughter, Rosalyn" Everyone gasped. "By law William was heir to the throne, and Aiden grew jealous of the young boy, so he ran off. He went to Germany to bring in mercenaries and so enter Cerdic and his Saxon hoard. Cerdic and his men marched too the Castle, but the King had been forewarned and so he sent his wife and his children off so that they could not be harmed. Everyone in the castle was killed. Williams mother had been of Woad decent and so she took her children to live with Merlin and his people. The Saxons killed Aiden and they soon were sweeping through Britain to find the last of the royal family. William heard of this and was going to take his family away, but they were ambushed on the road. Merlin and some of the Woads managed to save Rosalyn and Annabel, but everyone else was killed at least to my knowledge."
"What does he mean then."
"I don't know child we found the bodies of your brother and mother, so it could not possibly be him. I doubt your father is still alive… unless."
"What"
"Oh good heavens… I thought it was a rumor, but it I guess it could be true!"
"What are you talking about" Everyone began to stare at Dinna now with unfailing concentration almost as if they were trying to guess it before she said it. Rosalyn sat back in her chair.
"There was a rumor that your father had an affair with a peasant farmer who worked for him, they say she got pregnant and had a child, a boy, if that's true then this child would be heir to Briton if the Romans were over thrown."
Arthur spoke now "So I'm assuming that Cerdic knows about this and is now looking for the boy so he can kill him."
"That is probably the case"
"So how are we going to find this boy we have no idea where to look"
"I would most likely say go to the castle most of the peasants who worked there went back when the Saxons left."
Rosalyn slumped farther in her chair. Lancelot came over and put a hand on her shoulder which she greatly appreciated. Dinna came over and sat next to her.
"Child I know that this task will be hard for you, but we must find this child before the Saxons do or we will have no leverage over them."
Rosalyn took in one shaky breath and then stood straight, and looked at the group. "We will leave tomorrow, as soon as the sun sets. We can take Woad trails back to the castle.
It will be at least a three day ride, so you should all enjoy your sleep for tonight." With that she left and headed to their rooms, Lancelot followed her. The other knights went to get ready for tomorrows ride.
