Chapter 7: Valiant Part 3
Valiant was sitting in his chambers and Merlyn was spying on him.
"Dinner time" He crowed and Merlyn looked in disgust while the snakes in the shield ate the mouse in one big gulp.
She couldn't take anymore and scurried off.
Merlyn was sitting next to Sir Ewan when Gaius came into the room.
"I spied on Sir Valiant. The snakes were alive. The ones in the shields are alive. He's using magic, how can I be so stupid?" I quickly said.
"A-are you sure?" He clarified.
"The snake ate the mouse like-like in one big gulp. Sir Valiant was fighting Sir Ewan when he collapsed. It must of been one from the shields. I have to tell Arthur." Merlyn said jumping up from her seat.
"MERLYN." Gaius said and she froze.
"What?" She questioned.
"Do you have any proof?" He asked.
"Don't you believe me?" She asked hurt by Gaius's disbelief.
"I fear you'll land yourself in trouble. How will you explain why you were in Valiant's chambers?" Gaius asked reasonably.
"Why does that matter?" Merlyn asked.
"But you can't go accusing a knight of using magic without proof. The King would never accept the word of servant over the word of a knight" Gaius said.
"My word doesn't count for anything." Merlyn said looking down
"I'm afraid it counts very little as the king is concerned. That's just the way it is."
In Valiant's chamber, Merlyn cast a spell making the door open. She took a sword from the rack and saw a snake slither out. She cut the head off of the snake and ran off.
