That's Sire To You - A Council Meeting I Could Have Done Without...

A Council Meeting I Could Have Done Without... - 22nd September 1007

I could do without most of them, but this one in particular was awful, just awful. It was about Father, of course and how the chance of a full recovery was all but impossible, at least that was Gaius's opinion.

Which...well, is something he's never mentioned before, he hasn't exactly being optimistic about Father's condition of course, but he's never said there's no hope at all. It was like a blow from a lance.

And now the council is saying that a Regency Act has to be written and put into place sooner rather than later. Once this news gets out (as it no doubt will) I'll have no choice. I have to be Regent, I'm no longer temporarily filling in for my father, I am taking over from him.

Just writing this makes it all so...final.

Damnit.

I'm not like you. I don't spit all over the authority granted to rulers by just TAKING it.

And I would have thought you of all people would understand love for a father.

Guess you were lying about that too.

Because his cousin and Uncles were all murdered, or did you forget?

That's who I meant, and what do you think he'd make of this? Of you? He'd be disgusted, ashamed.

God knows I am.

You where there then? You know everything that happened? I wasn't aware you could bend time. Or are you trusting everything your sister says? Like I used to trust everything YOU said.

You dare to ask that? After you did just the same? Without so much as a care? You're nothing but a hypocrite.

And what do you do? Murder and lie and betray. Innocent or guilt no-one matters to you do they? You've become everything you used to hate.

What did Guinevere ever do to you? When was she anything less than your friend? You can't justify that.

Oh I'm sorry, I forgot only YOU are allowed to be judge over who a person is.

I don't want to be the king Father is, nor do I want to be the sort of ruler YOU were. I suppose that makes me evil, because I won't be your sister's lapdog.

You offered Guinevere slavery, you wanted her to sit back while you murdered the people in the Lower Town, you wanted her to throw her brother to the dogs. Did you expect her to accept such an offer?

And why would they choose people like you and your sister? Did you really expect to raise an immortal army and be greeted with open arms?

Or perhaps you wanted to unleash a horde of cockroaches to eat through people's brains?

Or unleash a plague, or a dragon, or turn statues to monstrous life?

The Druids are peaceful I'll grant you, but you are not a druid, your sister isn't a druid. You are heartless witches and I swear on my very life, you will never take Camelot. I will kill you with my bare hands if that's what it takes.

You started it

Pity the practice dummy Arthur takes out his fury and pain on.]
