Agravaine was aggravated. He had threatened his own safety countless times in order to obey Morgana's wishes, was plotting to kill his sister's only son, and was the witch's most faithful supporter and valuable spy. If he were discovered, he would be sentenced to death for treason. And yet, despite everything that he did for her, Morgana treated him as though he were nothing more than a common farm animal.

The Lady was nearly half his age and still he felt the irresistible temptation of her bewitching personality. She was intelligent and driven, confident and ruthless… all qualities which Agravaine valued highly. He regarded her with a great deal of respect, as well as awe and slight fear, and wished that she would value him as he valued her. Morgana was as cold as ice, distant as the moon, friendless as the last dragon. Agravaine prided himself on being the Lady's sole confidante, and her most trusted ally, but still he was afraid of the power she wielded.

He would never reveal to Morgana his discontent with the way she treated him. He would bide his time, and hope that someday she would show appreciation for his efforts.

Hope you liked this chapter! I'm not a fan of Agravaine myself – I think he's quite a weak character – but this popped into my head so I wrote it. Next chapter will be 'Agravaine is Aggravating'.
