Summary:

Arthur realizes how much of his day is wrapped in the colour red; from the knight’s cloaks to the unfurled banners in the Great Hall; from the blood of his enemies to that of his own people..

The two watch summer unfurl in crimson banners and gilded sunsets, and despite the heartache, they can almost feel the approach of something greater than the blood and battles they currently face...
