As Arthur and his group set out, Mordred and the other knights watched alone away from Orlando and his men and waited until Mordred first spoke. 

Mordred: I know you're all upset with me, hell I could tell you wanted to pin me to the ground for what I did.

Bedivere: Yes, what you did was unnecessary and an insult as a knight. 

Mordred: Well then why didn't you?

Tristan: Mordred it is one of the king's oaths remember we of the Round Table are allowed to plead our case if something does not sit right with us. He was allowing you to plead yours…as rash as it was and you are the king's family there are times we shouldn't intervene.

Mordred: Yeah I get it.

Galahad: However, putting your hand on him the way you did will not be tolerated, understand?

Galahad gave Mordred an intimidating look to ensure the message to her was clear.

Mordred: Tch…alright I get it!

Guinevere ignored their discussion and focused on Arthur riding off to face the enemy. 

Arthur pov

As we rode away from the village I thought about what happened with Mordred. The tension from the other knights aside from Guinevere was clear they were restraining themselves from pinning Mordred down. And before I could explain to her my reasoning Galahad stepped in and did it for me.  However, as I was lost in thought Lancelot interrupted me to get my attention. 

Lancelot: My king is something troubling you?

Arthur: I…

Percival: It's alright to tell us.  What is wrong?

For a moment I thought of what to say until I finally found the words. 

Arthur: Should I have scolded her for her aggression? Was I too soft?

Agravain: Personally I believe so if it were one of the other knights they would be detained immediately however for Mordred. 

Gawain: She is your niece after all, at times it is hard to scold family even when it's needed. 

Lancelot: Agreed but don't be too afraid to show yourself to her not just as her uncle but as king. 

"(To Be honest, I'm still trying to get used to all this. Back on earth I only had my mom and dad who visit as often as they could even if it takes months at a time. I never had any siblings or met any of my grandparents. But in this world, I was gifted with a wife, a sister, and a niece along with my other knights and the entire kingdom of Camelot. In a way they are all my family.)"

Arthur: Thank you my knights for your honest words. 

"(I have to remember I'm not the frail boy in the hospital anymore. I am now King Arthur Pendragon and I need to be the king that Camelot needs. So I must be more than I was before.)"

As Arthur and his knights reached a safe distance away from the village they all faced towards the incoming cloud that was fast approaching. They waited for the cloud to come within range and when they did Arthur gave the order. 

Arthur: Now Gawain!!!

Gawain: Right! ( Tier 9th: Radiant sun!!!)

He lifted his right hand into the air and in the center of his palm a ball of light began to form then it started to get bigger and bigger until he threw it high in the air and let loose a giant flash.
