End of recap...
Third person pov...
Lance wakes up bright and early the next morning, he made sure to get plenty of sleep for the Mêlée he was excited to compete in it against his Dad.
Though he was worried about losing. The young boy shock his head getting rid of the negative thoughts and instead started getting dressed for the day.
Once he was dressed dhe brushed his hair, teeth grabbed his sword and he was out of the door he was looking for either Arthur or Merlin.
Luckily for him he ends up walking straight to Arthur's chamber where soad Prince is talking with the King. Lance decides to wiat by the door.
"I trust you're ready for the challenge?" Asks Uther as his son gets ready for the tournament
"Yes, Father."Says Arthur as he looks at his Dad.
"I came to bring you this. I won my first mêlée with this blade. The edge has been dulled, it's perfectly safe. All of Camelot is eager for a victory today, Arthur. I know you won't let me down" said the King handing a sword to Arthur.
He the left patting Lance on the shoulder qhen he saw the boy. Lance then walked inside and stood next to Arthur as people made there way through the grounds.
"Nervous Lance?" Asks Arthur
Lance nods hisnhead slightly "Maybe a little but I know I can do this maybe I'll end up fighting you!" Exclaimed the undercover Prince making the other Prince loose his seriousness and trap the young boy in a head lock.
"Oiii" yelled Lance as he and Arthur laughed together as they playfully fought.
Time skip...
A crowd gathers at the tournament grounds, Trumpets sound. And the Mêlée begins.
Lance rises through the ranks just behind Arthur with how many wins they each get.
In Ethan and Sir Oswlad tent stand the two thugs they have a plan a horrible plan. "Prince Arthur and that Brat isn't going to know what's hit them" hissed Sir Ethan.
The two had changed their plan instead of just Arthur they are going to try and kill Lance in the Mêlée.
"Oh, I hope they do. If it's over too quickly, that'll be no fun at all" Says Sir Oswald a horrible smile on his disguised face. Ebor laughs.
"Ready?"Asks Sor Oswald
"Absolutely." Says Sir Ethan
They clang swords in salute and then leave their tent and walk to the grounds.
With Merlin and Arthur...
"You know those moments when I tell you something isn't a good idea?" Said merlin
"And then I ignore you, yeah." Answered Arthur.
"And then I'm proved right?" Argues Merlin.
"Merlin, your concern for my wellbeing is touching." Says Arthur obviously growing bored of the conversation.
"I'm serious. I think you should withdraw Lance as well" said Merlin he was worried aboutnthe young boy and about the thugs knowing they will try something.
"Look, I know you think the mêlée is some kind of...stupid game, but it's more than that. It's about proving to the people that I'm fit to lead them and don't worry Lance is strong very strong" he said reassuring the Warlock.
"I know."sighs Merlin knowing he shouldn't nother trying to stop him. Merlin hands Arthur the dull sword.
"Just be careful."He Mumbles.
The fights begin....
Lances' fight is first it was a quick one as the Knight wasn't nearly as skilled as the undercover Prince.
Uther is very impressed with what he has seen from the young lad. The people and other Knights see him clapping the most for his son and the strange boy they had never seen before.
When it is Arthur's turn Lance meets him in his tent before the fight starts. By now there are only four competitors left.
Lance
Arthur
Sir Oswald
Sir Ethan
Lance walks in he feels so drained from all the swinging he had done. He stumbles in and Arhur catches him before he falls on to the floor. "Thanks" Mumbles the young boy smiling at Arthur.
"No problem Lance, you look tired" saod the Prince making Lance blush embarrassed "I'm okay just haven't fought this much since my dad trained me" said Lance letting Arthur know a little bit about him.
A few minutes later Lance could stand and it was Arthur's turn, the 16 year old stood by the flaps so he could watch Arthur's fight.
Merlin stands next to Gaius in the crowd. Uther gives the signal and the mêlée ensues. Gwaine is injured by a Stalorne blade. Ebor(Ethan) rides toward Arthur.
Merlins eyes widen when when sees what was happening "He's heading straight for Arthur." He says to Gaius, on the other side of the stands is Lance thinking the same thing.
Arthur ducks. Ebor (Ethan) is thrown from his horse. Gwaine is knocked off his horse. Ebor (Ethan) goes for Arthur on foot..
"Arthur's in trouble." Mutters Merlin eyes wide...
