Uther Pendragon, warlord king, had seen the Lady Igraine during a treaty negotiation. He had tried to get her to his bed, but she refused him. She loved her husband deeply. And Uther wanted that more than he wanted her. He wanted to feel what it was to be so loved by a woman. Uther lured Lady Igraine’s husband into a battle, trapping him there. Using dark magic, he disguised himself as her husband and entered her chambers in the middle of the night, declaring the battle won. And then he took what she willingly gave to the husband she loved. But it meant nothing, changed nothing, because she did not love him. Who could?
He left her husband dead and Arthur in her womb.
Igraine had older children. Mordred’s mother was among them. Morgan le Fay, Mordred’s mother and Arthur’s half sister, wanted vengeance. When Arthur was born, Lady Igraine died of a fever. Morgan le Fay planned to kill the child and deliver the body to Uther. That was when Merlin found him and whisked him away.
– Az kevés; az embernek tudnia kell. Már szóltam volna, hogy maradjunk csendben, de Mordred most éppen nem figyel ránk – folytatta Tommy. – Úgy vélem, a király ellen támad. Ránk majd a tisztogató hadművelet során kerül sor.
– Nem akarom, hogy megtisztogasson – jegyezte meg komoran Sis.
She took me so much by surprise that I could think of no pretty speeches; I merely blurted out what she wanted to know. „Mordred of Lothian.”
Her face paled and slackened with horror. She shrank back as if I had put a curse on her, then stumbled away.
Nancy Springer: I Am Mordred A Tale from Camelot
– A fiad – ismételte meg Guinevere olyan szilárdan, ahogy csak tudta. – Mordred. Életben van, ezt most már tudjuk. Ki kell mondanunk a nevét.
Arthur félrefordította a fejét.
– Mondd ki. Arthur. El kell ismerned Mordredet.
Becsukta a szemét.
– Mordred – hallotta magát.
– A fiad.
Várt egy kicsit.
– A fiam.
