"Revenue. "
The heavy wooden door opened with a creak and the door appeared a young valet.
"Lady Morgana, the king asks you." Announced the boy, breathlessly, sketching a bow embarrassed.
Morgana just nodded and went out of his room, doing the wave as light scenes when the short flight of steps leading to the main hallway.
The air of the castle was heavy: the usual bustle of footmen and scullery maids and their voices were totally, silence reigned among the streets of Camelot.
Everyone was waiting.
Lady Morgana increased his pace, passing the guards - that turned over with a nod of the head - stationed outside the throne room, and reached the rooms of the king.
"It 's very weak." Gaius said, once it comes. "Do not let it shake."
"Do not worry, Gaius." Reassured him, asking a half-smile.
The old doctor nodded and left the room floor, - a faint whisper If needed, are out here - followed by the maid who was arranging the pillows behind the back of the king to allow him to sit (the "Leave us alone " Morgan, the young woman jumped at the entrance of the room and bowed quickly, before closing the door behind him).
protected The king was advanced slowly into the room, until you reach the four-poster bed on which he sat Uther.
"Come closer." Weakly ordered the King and Morgan noted with irritation that the arrogance that had always characterized, had not abandoned even in a time like that.
"You're dying, Uther. "Threw off her, pursing his lips in a grin, but not obeyed, and remained motionless at the foot of the bed.
Uther was silent, watching and finally approached him. Morgan sat down and only then could see what the face of Uther was caused by 'sudden and unexplained illness , as he called Gaius. Only she knew that behind the king's illness was the powerful magic of Morgause.
He was pale, very pale, and if Morgan had put aside the anger he felt against him, if only for a moment, would certainly have felt pity for this man. But simply could not.
"You hate me so much," began the king, with difficulty, looking for the hand of his protection. "- To be happy -" he stopped and breathed in, as if to catch his breath. "- To see me die?"
Morgana looked down and withdrew her hand, away from the cold of the king.
'E' what you deserve. "she whispered, clutching the hem of her dress. "That 's what everyone thinks. That 's what your people think the . "
jumped up, heading for the door, still not looking Uther.
"You're paying the consequences of your actions, Uther."
He turned to cast a last glance at the king and left the room.

The loud sound of the bells of Camelot broke the silence of that moonless night, reverberating deep into the large square in the center of the city. Morgan smiled, staring into the dark sky above the castle, but a buzz, getting stronger, began to make his way inside the walls.
The door opened and someone entered the room.
"My lady - my lady, the king is dead." Told her a servant, frightened voice.
Morgana did not turn around and continued to smile.
