Months had slipped by since Lady Vivian’s departure, leaving Camelot in a fragile peace with its neighbor. As the crown prince, you had arrived with their king three days prior. Shadows lengthened in the court; a treacherous servant, eager to ignite war, plotted to disgrace Arthur by bewitching him. Arthur, wary of history repeating, discovered a stray blond hair beneath his pillow. Gaius’s grim confirmation of a love potion sealed his suspicion.
