Court Obligations Part 2/??

[anonymous]

Uther stood at the window cradling his son for a long while until the sun had passed its zenith and Arthur started to fuss. He handed Arthur back to his nurse and walked from the room finding Gaius in his new rooms where his old friend would treat people as the new court physician. Uther knocked before entering knowing that Gaius was still unpacking and might be on a ladder, he did not need his new court physician to be injured in his first week.

“Come,” Gaius said looking up from the mortar and pestle in front of him. “Sire, come in.” Gaius said bowing slightly when he realised who was at his door.

“Gaius, did you receive the collar?”

Gaius’ eyes dropped to the collar on one of his worktables as he nodded. “Yes, I will work on it this afternoon. Lady Charlotte took a tumble and I am preparing something for her wrist and ankle.”

“Of course, please come and see me when it has been tested I want to make sure it is ready for the next one.”

“Yes Sire,” Gaius said his eyes flicking up for a moment as Uther nodded and turned to leave. Uther watched his old friend drop his head to his chest moments before the door was closed tightly.

Uther went down to his council chambers ready to meet with his senior knights. As Uther strode through the double doors his knights all stood, their heads bowed as they welcomed him as one. He nodded to them in turn and then took his seat at the head of the table.

“What news?” Uther said looking around the table.

“A group of knights is bringing in three witches from the north that were caught doing magic on the crops in their villages,” Sir Tyrone said.

“Was there any damage?” Uther asked.

“No, it appears they were trying to help protect the crops from frost,” Sir Tyrone said looking down.

“They are trying to convince us that they are not what we know them to be, attempting to gain our trust so that they will be able to burn the heart from Camelot with their sorcery.”

“Of course sire,” Sir Tyrone said.

“There are some knights from the south coming with a group of sorcerers caught practicing in the woods during a full moon.” Sir Anthony said.

“Good,” Uther said. “They shall all be burned together.”

“Yes sire,” Sir Thomas said. “We have been contacted by two men who want to give up their neighbours as sorcerers for the reward that you offered.”

“Make sure they are actually magic users and it is not just the reward they are after.” Uther said.

“Yes sire, I will need another couple of knights to assist me.” Sir Thomas requested.

“Take two of the younger knights, it will be a good experience for them,” Uther said nodding.

“Yes sire,” Sir Thomas said.

“Anything else on the purge?” Uther asked. Sir Godfrey and Sir Malcolm looked to one another but no one said anything. Uther stared at them for a few long minutes until Sir Malcolm squirmed and nodded.

“Sire, the witch,” Sir Malcolm stopped, his shoulders straightening before continuing. “We were wondering at what the witch said as she burned, she was different to when she was attempting to curse you. She said the kingdom would suffer.”

Uther thought back to what the witch had screamed up at him. He could still hear her words ‘Uther Pendragon for your sins your kingdom shall suffer’ but he was not worried. “You are the strongest knights in all of Albion. We can defeat any army, no witch can stop us. I have faith in my knights, in my armies to protect all of Camelot. So do not fear the witch’s words.”

His knights all nodded and they moved on to talking of the training, the new squires who came in hope of one day being knights themselves and the different assignments that were due to be reassessed.
