“Uther thinks he has Avalon,” Mab said. “He has the power in his grasp to make himself an heir.”
“A clone?”
“A substitute. When the real prince returns, Camelot will have two sons who desire the throne.”
“But the king will need someone to raise the child,” Mab said softly, her eyes sideways on Morgause.
“Someone with a son already who can look after him,” Morgause whispered. “His wife’s daughter might be a good choice to raise the fake heir.”
Lot smirked, but said, “This sounds more complicated than it needs to be. Will you wait until Uther’s son is old enough to be king?”
Mab crossed her arms while watching the screen. “As an old teaching says: All good things come to those who wait.”
“Yes, time is on our side,” Morgause added calmly. “Besides, it’s not like we’re aging yet.”
What Morgause couldn’t know was that the son she planned for would not be the only being seeking the new throne. Merlin had made plans just as Mab did to ensure the throne of Camelot went to whomever he deemed worthy.
