Chapter 05 - Not all is as it seems?

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Why did you never tell me?" Arthur asked "you wouldn't have been exiled from Camelot; you could have been a knight" he said

"HA! A knight under Uther Pendragon! No thank you! The sole reason I took this knighthood was because YOU gave it Arthur, if it was your father I never would have. You looked at me for who I am not for my "blood statues" you stood up for me when needed and helped my too even if I wasn't a noble, that's why when YOU gave this, I took it. I learned there were some nobles worth fighting along with or for" he said looking at Arthur smiling like his usual self...

Uther Pendragon who was still mute was yelling something with no vein since no one seem to care what the man had to say.

"How did people find out in the future about me? Did they get angry?" Gwaine asked looking at Tobias

"I can't tell you how but they don't get angry... they were shocked but they got over it sooner than you think" he said

"And his little drinking issue? Don't think anyone can stop that part?" Merlin teased

"No mother did try and succeed to thrice a day; I think father is more willing to lose his precious ale than see mother's temper" Gwendolyn spoke looking at her bright red parents

"Get on with it, boy! Who are the rest of you?" king Sarrum spoke out loudly

"Hope in your time this man is long gone! Will for once have patients or is it something you never conquered" Morgause spoke irritated with the man shocking many as they had forgotten she was there

Just then before the man could yell the dark blond-haired boy spoke up.

"Good evening to everyone, my name is . I'm crown prince of Caerleon, 16 years of age and my father is king Lancelot of Caerleon of the house of Caerleon, knight of the round table, member of the high council & council of magic and my mother is queen Elena of Gawant, member of the high council & council of magic" he spoke, instantly anyone and everyone that knows Lancelot could see the boy is his. The same manners, talk style and attitude was well visible.

"Your name is Galahad?" queen Anis asked looking at the boy then his father who too looked stunned by the name

"Yes, my lady, I was given the name by my father" he spoke

Galahad was tall as Tobias, leaner than him too, with dark blond, sightly curly hair and brown eyes, tan skin, wearing an armor with a pale blue cape with the Caerleon crest, his sword at hand

"How? How do you know that name?" King Caerleon asked, his voice was full of pain

"It was the name my mother told I had at birth, she told me it was important I remember it, she never told me why" Lancelot answered in confusion

"What was her name, sir knight?" queen Anis asked

"Annie, she said she used to work as a nanny for... um... I don't recall who, she died during a raid years ago. All I have of her is my necklace" he said fiddling with his necklace he wore always

"May I see it, child" queen Anis asked holding her hand out

Nodding he gave her the necklace, when she saw it, her eyes suddenly were full of tears. Gently she took the medallion in it and showed Lancelot how it fit like a perfect puzzle piece to her bracelet.

"Years ago, I had a son, many may have forgotten him but a mother can never forget the child she bore. I gave medallion to my son when he was born but I lost him when the Saxons attacked years ago. My son, he was six and his nanny were with me but we were corned I told them to run, she didn't want to at first, I told her run she was faster than me so she did and that was the last I saw of either... why she never came back or why she told us you were fine is beyond me but child please tell me, tell me your name was once Galahad" Anis asked no pleaded many changed their mind as the woman all but begged him to answer

"Yes, that was my name before she told me she calls me Lancelot. I don't recall my past but I do know the woman that raised me wasn't my birth mother but she raised me thus I call her mother" Lancelot answered

"Yes! Of course, I understand but will you let me speak with you later?" she asked as king Caerleon to nod his head

"Now you seven, who are you?" prince Arthur asked.

He knew at least three were his and he had a hunch the two boys were Merlin's and the other girls were Morgana's but how come they didn't speak yet. Like king Caerleon said they are speaking according to their birth rank. Then just how high were these seven that they still haven't spoken yet.

Just how are all not being as it seems like, thought Arthur
