Changes in Time

Chapter 05 - Not all is as it seems?

"Good evening, everyone, I'm Tobias, crown prince of Nemeth and this is my sister princess Gwendolyn" he said as Gwendolyn bowed to the crowd

"We're 16 years of age and our parents are King Gwaine of Nemeth, of the house of Lot, knight of the round table, member of the high council & council of magic and our mother is the beautiful Queen Mithian of Nemeth, member of the high council & council of magic" he said looking at his parents who were staring at each other in shock while king Rodor seemed liked he was asserting the situation looking to see how this happened, not that he was complaining about it. He rather his child marries for love than politics, these children he had no doubt were his grandchildren.

Both tan skin with long dark hair, the boy's hair was short and messy with dark brown eyes, the girl's hair was mid back with a small headband and same eyes as her brother, Tobias was tall, broad not much a Jason, his armor was slightly greyish with a purple cape and while Gwendolyn was lean and tall in a purple and silver dress, both with the Nemeth crest and held a stunning sword and short sword respectively.

"HA! you are related to Gwaine!" Merlin beamed looking at Gwaine

"Wait till your ones speak then we'll talk" Gwaine grumbled while the rest of the commoners' turned knights laughed at the rouge for once being too quiet to speak. While Merlin was looking at the boy who looked very much like him. Wondering who married him.

"But how?? No offence, sir Gwaine but how so are you a member of the house of Lot? I thought you were a commoner" king Caerleon asked looking at king Cenred hoping the man will know but even he looked baffled

Gwaine looked at the man and sighed not sure if he should tell or not

"If you don't want you don't have to" Merlin said

"No, it's fine nothing stays a secret forever you know" Gwaine said with a small smile.

"My father was a knight of Caerleon, he died years ago and you refused to help my mother when she asked for his lands" he began

"Your Sir Gabriel's son, the one he suppositively adopted?" a knight of Caerleon asked stunned. Sir Gabriel was a wonderful knight but when he died his family fell to poverty.

"Yes, I'm" Gwaine said looking at Merlin who was shocked since he was told BY Gwaine his father was a knight

"Sorry mate but I didn't enjoy telling who I really I'm since well... children of wed lock aren't that every... you know" he began when Merlin simply nods in understanding the pain of being a child of wed lock

"Yes! My father did "adopt" me as many thoughts but my real father was prince Lot, brother of King Cenred and my mother was lady Clarissa. When his father, my dear grandfather found out he was mad as hell so my parents with the help of sir Gabriel hid me from his sight. My mother and him got married and told all I'm theirs... but when Gabriel died and we were left with nothing mother couldn't take it. She felt like she lost the man she loved all over again." he said sighing while Merlin and Lancelot kept a hand on his shoulders, smiling at his friends he continued

"She tried to raise me alone but she got sick wasn't use to working as a farmer. She died six winters after. I couldn't take it she always told me about my father, told me to go see him if something happened to her. I did but he was married to someone else with a family. I had and saw no reason to mess it up. I sent a letter talking about mother and all and told him if fates give us a chance let's meet then... and the rest well... you know most of it" he said

"My brother told you were dead! You and your mother both... impressive never thought I'll live to hear that Lot went against father, well... well" king Cenred spoke for once many could see the man had a genuine smile.
