In the shadows 511

With court comes intrigues, and for every brave knight there are three people gossiping about them.

Arthur is not as secure in his throne as the daily scenes in court seem to imply. Some of his supporters — King Alain of Escavalon, for instance — seek to attack the rebels and aid the Saxons, but others, including Duke Ulfius, want to attack the unprepared Saxons. Yet others (such as Ector and Brastias) say to hold back and rest, to let the new knights train for a year. No doubt, though, the king will do whatever Merlin wants.
