A/N: I'm going to reveal more about Jeffery and his father in this chapter. Also there will be more Gwen in this chapter. I'm really sorry about the lack of Gwen in this story. I have problems with writing mother-daughter scenes. I think that's because my mom and I aren't very close, I'm closer with my step-dad. But yah so I'm really sorry to all you Gwen lovers out there. So yah ENJOYYYYY!

Lillian

Lillian watched Jeffery with a cautious eye. She had to admit, the man was handsome but she was more worried about whether or not he was a spy...right? Her father talked to Jeffery and agreed to trust him just about a week ago. Lillian knew that she wasn't the only one who still regarded the man with suspicion. Her uncle Merlin, ever her father's protector, stood at her father's right and eyed the man with the deepest caution.

Jeffery

Jeffery got along well with everyone in the castle except, Merlin and Lillian. He knew they were suspicious of him and until he gained their trust he would never gain an alliance from Camelot because he knew, just as the rest of the kingdoms did, that King Arthur valued the word of his advisor, his daughter, his wife and his knights above any other, so he searched for ways to gain their trust. Without it he would never save his people and his father.

Gwen

Gwen liked Jeffery, she thought he was a kind well-rounded young man. He was the same age as Lillian and very smart. He also was very good at swordplay so him and Arthur got along splendidly. She could already tell that her daughter and Merlin did not trust the man. She hoped that Jeffery would figure out how to earn they're trust.

Lillian

The morning after the celebration of the alliance treaty signing. Lillian was walking to her Uncle Percival's chambers to invite him to train with her when someone stopped her.

"Hello Lillian."

"Jeffery..." She turned.

"I was wondering if you'd like to come on a ride with me tomorrow morning."

" I suppose, what for?"

" I have something for you."

"Okay...?"

"Thank you, my lady, I understand that you do not trust me yet but I will try to gain your trust."

"You must value your kingdom very much if you're willing to do anything to gain my trust but you see we are already allies. The treaty was signed yesterday. We will help you win back your kingdom."

"I know but I wish to gain your trust in order to fight alongside you, my lady, therefore," he bowed deeply, "I shall see you tomorrow madam." He walked away. My eyes didn't leave him as I started to rethink my judgement of the Prince.

Gwen

Gwen saw Jeffery talking to Lillian in the corridor and stopped, she hid in a small alcove in order to strain to hear their conversation. "I wish to gain your trust in order to fight alongside you, my lady, therefore," Jeffery bowed to Lillian, "I shall see you tomorrow, madam." He walked away and She watched as her daughter's eyes turned from confused to questioning. 'Hmmm...', Gwen wondered, 'This should be interesting.'

Arthur

Arthur and Merlin were sitting in the council chambers pouring over the battle plans the next day, when Arthur mentioned it.

"Merlin, please don't lie to me, you don't trust Jeffery."

"No Sire, I do not."

"Why is that?"

"I'm only concerned for your safety, sire. We are about to go to war with the man's homeland. I feel like there is something we don't know."

"Enough with the formalities, Merlin, you only call me 'sire' when you are hiding something."

"I'm sorry, Arthur, there is something about him. And I'm not the only one who senses it. Lillian does too, I can see it in her face."

Just then a horse whinnied in distress in the courtyard and a scream pierced the air.

A/N: Muhahahahaha I'm extremely evil. I'm really sorry for the late update, my wifi has been down since Sunday and it's been annoying me but it's given me a bit more time to write. I'm also really sorry this chapter did not come out as well as I wanted it too. I will try to make up for it in the next chapter. If anyone has any prompts for me for a group of Merlin one-shots I will be writing let me know thanks guys! As always Read and Review!
