A Score To Settle
"I trust you will make me proud."
Arthur winced slightly as Uther clapped a strong hand on his back. The comment could have been encouraging, but the king's tone of voice left Arthur in no doubt that he would never be forgiven if he lost.
He didn't know why he was surprised. No matter how hard he tried he never gained the parental approval he so desperately craved.
He was a disappointment, that much was obvious. He had done his very best to be the son that Uther desired but it seemed that nothing he did was ever good enough.
