I ride into the forest back towards my new home keeping an eye out for anyone. Focusing my magic on my ears I pick up three people on horses riding fast towards me. I change direction and ride away from the cave so that they don't find it. Out of the corner of my eye, I see two knights of Camelot and another riding fast towards me and urge Kali to go faster. I turn in my saddle and see that the other rider is Uther. Great, what on earth could he want? I pull on the reigns and urge Kali to stop. Uther and the two nights circle around me and stop in front of me Uther in the middle. 

He dismounts and I do as well doing an over the top bow "What can I do for you, your highness?" he scowls "I see you've been keeping away from Camelot." I nod and he does a grim smile type thing "It took a while to track you down. I had to plant spies in all the villages near here." I nod "Why did you want to find me?" he frowns "I've come to bring some bad news. I thought you might appreciate hearing." I frown "What?" 

"Well Sir Gwaine and Sir Leon went on a quest and only Sir Gwaine returned." I feel my heart sink and frown "Your lying." he shakes his head "I wish I was, he was a loyal knight." I scowl and climb back onto Kali "Your lying." I kick Kali gently and ride away from them fast, Leons gone. 

Uther P/O/V:

I smile at Y/Ns retreating back and climb back onto my horse. "Do you think she believed you?" I nod "Of course she did. She won't be causing any trouble. Now I just have to deal with Arthur and Sir Leon." the knights both nod and we start the ride back to Camelot. It takes two days to return to Camelot. Arthur is standing on the steps and smiles "How did your scouting go?" I smile "Well, but I bring sad news." his face falls "What?" I put a hand on his arm "Lets talk inside."

We walk into the throne room and Arthur turns to me "What did you want to tell me, Father?" I frown trying to put as much emotion into it as possible for his benefit "We stopped in a village and found out that Y/N had been there." he nods and I look at the floor knowing that I can't face his reaction no matter how  much I think he needs to hear it for the good of Camelot "Arthur she's dead." he gasps "No." I nod "I'm sorry I know how much she meant to you." he nods "I can't believe it." I nod "I'm sorry." he scowls "Why do you care? I thought you hated her." 

I manage a small smile "She may be a traitor but she is your sister." he nods and bows his head "I'll take my leave of you." he walks out the room and I smile to myself. At least I won't have any more trouble with Arthur or the knights sneaking off to find Y/N, and I don't need to worry about her manipulating my son or the knights. All my problems solved with two surprisingly quick conversations.
