Elizabeth Pendragon: Merlin Fanfic

Edwin

Elizabeth's POV

It's been peaceful since the griffin attack. I miss Lancelot, a lot. But if dad ever knew found out I had a crush on Lancelot. He'd marry me off to the first person who asks. Anyway, I am relaxing in my chambers already dressed for bed when Gwen appears with a bouquet of flowers. "Oh their lovely" I say with a smile as she places them on the table. "Who are they from?" I ask.

"No idea, one arrived each for you and Morgana, maybe Arthur" she suggests. I sigh sadly. "You were hoping Lancelot" she says.

"I can't keep waiting for him" I state.

"Do you want me to get rid of them?" she asks me.

"No, that'd be a waste of perfectly good flowers" I tell her. I close the book I was reading by candle light. I go to bed. "Good night Gwen" I say.

"See you in the morning" she says with a smile. Before leaving. I lay my head down and drift off to sleep.

(Time skip) Third Persons POV

"Her body seems to have closed down like Morgana's" Gaius states as he examines Elizabeth.

"Why? You don't have an answer do you? Nothing you've tried so far has worked. It's been nearly two days. And what do you know?" Uther asks him.

"I fear they both may have some form of inflammation of the brain" Gaius tells him.

"What could cause such a thing?" Uther asks him.

"An infection, possibly, rest assured, I will do everything in my power to cure them, Sire" Gaius assures him. He leaves to go send Merlin to get more herbs.

(Next day)

Morgana and Elizabeth still aren't any better. They only have hours left. Which Gaius tells Arthur and Uther. "We cannot let them die!" Arthur exclaims.

"Arthur, please" Uther says.

"There's a man, he came to the castle yesterday. He claims he can cure them both" Arthur states.

"That's ridiculous. He doesn't know what's wrong with them" Uther tells him.

"He says he has a remedy that can cure all ills" Arthur tells him.

"Impossible" Gaius says.

"Well, for Elizabeth's and Morgana's sake, surely we should at least hear him out. I mean, what've we got to lose? Please, Father" Arthur pleads.

"Probably some charlatan hoping for a quick shilling" Gaius tells them.

"I don't care! If she's about to die, neither can Morgana. What harm can it do? Give him his shilling! If there's one chance in a million he can save them, then why not?" Arthur asks.

"Send for him" Uther tells Arthur. Who does so. Edwin managed to cure both Morgana and Elizabeth. He claims they both suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and not an inflammation on the brain. Uther was over joyed to see Elizabeth and Morgana alive & well.

Elizabeth's POV

I am in the throne room with father, Arthur, Morgana, some knights and this Edwin who saved Morgana & I. I have no idea who he is or how he did what Gaius couldn't. I am grateful to be alive. But something seems off about this scar faced man. "Name your reward" father tells him.

"I desire nothing more than the good health of my patients, Sire" Edwin tells him.

"There must be something I can do for you" father states.

"No. I will wait until the Lady Morgana and Princess Elizabeth are fully recovered, and then I will be on my way" Edwin states.

"Why don't you stay awhile? You could live here in the palace" father offers.
