Thomas didn't like when people came into his chambers.
His servants were occasional exceptions but Llacheu made it extremely hard to practice magic without Merlin's supervision or the risk of accidently
hurting someone.
But it seemed like Merlin followed Llacheu everywhere because he was prone to getting hurt.
So he couldn't help but be annoyed every time Llacheu came into his chambers but he overall enjoyed his company.
So Llacheu chattering his ear off about "Sword Practice" didn't really bother him.
"Father said when I'm of age, I'll be one of the finest knights Camelot has ever known." Llacheu said.
Thomas couldn't but smile at how excited Llacheu got over his training or whatever you would call it.
Llacheu wanted to be just like their father and it was no secret on how much he admired the king.
Thomas on the other hand liked everyone equally and showed no favoritism.
He likes to say he shows everyone he holds in high regards the same admiration.
He could be watching Esmeralda pick flowers one day, listening intently to Merlin while he relented some tales about magic from his youth, sitting with his mother as she went over important papers while laughing at something he said, walking around the plazas with his father or just hanging out with Llacheu doing his best to get him out of trouble.
"Hey Thomas?" Llacheu said sitting up from his bed then looking down at Thomas who was reading a bestiary on the floor.
"Yes Llacheu?" He replied looking up at his brother.
"Have you seen that girl in town?'' He asked.
Thomas rolled his eyes Llacheu was always talking about someone he fancied, whether it be a serving girl, a princess or even just a regular villager.
"I can't say that I have." Thomas said honestly.
"Then you have to see her, Tommy. She's gorgeous." Llacheu said jumping off of Thomas's bed and landing next to him on the floor.
Thomas just rolled his eyes.
He preferred not to indulge in one of Llacheu's adventures because they either got hurt or in trouble.
"I don't know." Thomas said.
"C'mon, don't be a pansy."
"Fine." Thomas agreed.
Llacheu smiled before getting up and leading Thomas from his chambers.
The guards outside of Thomas's room looked down at the young princes. "Where do you two reckon' you're going?" one of them asked.
Thomas couldn't seem to remember his name, Gary? Gred?
"Down to the squares, who's asking?" Llacheu said arrogantly while puffing out his chest.
Oh brother, Thomas thought literally.
"I am," A womanly voice called out.
The guard looked over and immediately bowed.
"My Lady." They said.
Their mother just smiled to the guards before looking to her sons. Her face was curt and she had a pouting Gwennie on her hand.
"What's the matter Gwen?" Thomas called to his sister.
His mother looked up for a split second before looking at Gwendolyn.
"Don't entertain her. She is upset she has to attend a tea party with Cordelia." She said.
Llacheu snorted, "I would too." he said under his breath.
Gwen glared at him and Llacheu suddenly found the walls interesting.
"Come here little Gwendolyn." Thomas said motioning for his sister to come closer.
Gwennie looked pleadingly to her mother who gave out a sigh and nodded.
Gwennie chuckled before quickly moving her short legs to run to her older brother.
Thomas stooped down and picked her causing her to laugh in delight.
"Mother, can we go into town." Thomas asked.
"You two can but Gwendolyn can't."
Gwennie looked to Thomas and pouted, "Mother can you please reconsider? It wouldn't be any fun if little Gwen couldn't come." he started before passing Gwennie over into Llacheu's open arms. Llacheu smiled at his younger sister as she wrapped her arms around him.
"Please mother." Thomas said.
"Yeah, please mother?" Llacheu added.
Gwen stood and watched her three children before sighing, "Fine, but get your father or Merlin to escort you please." with that she turned and walked away having no idea what was to come in the village.
What will happen in the Village? Comment to tell me what you think.
