No.
No, no.
No, no, no.
You will not allow this to go unremarked upon, will not allow this to pass.
You rip your arm from your Daughter's grasp, none too gentle. "You have an odd definition of Malicious!" You turn to your grandchildren, who look confused and scared by equal measure. You know the feeling. "Sorry, but it looks you might not get gifts today."
And then you are off, sprinting through the crowded streets. You worm through the crowds, vaulting over obstacles and in the random streets, trying to cut off your wife. Morgyan is hidden and well at that; but the Lady has, as with all things, saved you- your golden eye can follow her, bright as she is in it.
As you make it through the crowds, you plan-- or at least as near to planning as you can.
If this was forced on her by the Fae, you're burning down his damned forest.
If it wasn't, then you and Morgyan will be having words.
You catch a glimpse of her over the street and, seeing a ladder, climb up it taking two or three steps a time until you end up on a roof. Running across you make it to the edge, leap, and end up just before Morgyan, cutting her off from the rest of the road.
"...Hello, Philip."
"Morgyan. We need to talk, about a lot of things. Like the whys and hows of you hiding my daughter from me. How you betrayed my trust, our oaths to each-other, and so many other things."
She wilts under a glare that can-- that has-- frozen monsters. "The how is...simple enough. The girl was not made in the usual way; but as you slept after the same congress that resulted in Charles, I took a hair, and mixed it with mine own blood in a phial. I gave that to Merlin, and he crafted a child."
"Why. Why break the oath we swore? I cannot serve as your conscience if you will not break bread with me! Will not speak with me."
"You speak, knight, of things you have little comprehension of." There is venom there-- good. Then you might not feel quite so guilty when this is over. "I am hated, with a fiery passion, by the Fae. They would kill as I killed so very many of them, slowly and without mercy, if it weren't for the protection of the kingdom. Our children would have been much the same-- the Courts would have bidden their time, safe in their mountains and woods, until they could kill at least as many of our children as I killed of their champions-- and that is a prodigious number indeed. Instead I bought us all safety; for long has it been known that Merlin, spirit he is, prefers to shape his champions of humans; and what better stock was there, than us? And doing this, I would earn us all safety, for it would be a great folly to attack the flesh of the Autumn Champion.
So I struck second deal with the Merlin, and gave unto him two warriors that would allow to strike at the Shadows he hated. If I had not, we would all be dead-- you would have been slain, champion."
"I am a Knight! I have always been a knight! Not some blushing maiden! I should rather die to all the slings and arrows that the beasts of the Forest can come to strike me with than throw a girl-- mine own blood and flesh and daughter, no less-- to the Fae!"
"And that is why I would not let you know."
"And so you would betray me, as Carole did?" There is a fiery, fiery, almost unbecoming spark to your words, a storm growing with each roared syllable that falls from your mouth like a hammer.
"Yes."
And then before you can speak or even think Morgyan throws a small pinch of some sort of black dust to the ground. It burst in a white flash that blinds you and deafens you for a small few moments; enough for her to escape into the streets, hiding with all the other people going through those pressed stone roads.
Godfrey, great confused, finally catches up to you. "Father! What happened?"
You walk past him, silently. It is unbecoming that a Grail Knight be so...so distraught.
You make your way, in a black and gray blur of nothing, to the inn. All seem to avoid you, and you are alright with that.
You spend the rest of a miserable day in prayers to the Lady, looking for her grace.
But she is silent.

You don't wake up until High Noon, the day after.
How do you spend day 2 of 7?
(Pick 2)
[] There's a training yard that's sprung up, a sparring area where warriors from around the Old World are practicing against each other. You could really use some relaxation right about now.
[] Go to the Blacksmiths Quarters so you can watch somebody deal with a dismounted jouster instead of doing it yourself.
[] Go to the Merchants Quarters. You made a promise to your grandchildren that you would spend some time with them, and you are many things-- a damn fool included for thinking you could trust Morgyan le Fay-- but you are no oath-breaker.
[] Spend time with Justine and Kurt. She deserves to know what has happened. (Also, what's with the Elf)
[] Spend time with Leliana and Grègoire. She deserves to know, they all deserve to know.
[] Spend time with Godfrey and Annick. He deserves to know.
[] Spend time with Charles and Melisende. You must ask Charles if he ever figured this out, that the Champion who was training him was kin-- and if so, why he did not tell you.
[] Spend time with Belicent. The child you did not know you had. The poor girl has spent the past sixteen years without father, brother, sister or mother, and only fay. That changes here.
[] Pray. You could use...well, a whole lot of divine intervention, right now.

That was rather fun. I like drama at times.

Ugh. Just...ugh. I get that people like drama but for me this is...let's go with "exhausting".
Really hoping we don't get too many murder-rage-boners popping in the thread here; I feel like Philip missed the forest for the trees on his wife's motivations.

One choice for Philip himself, because he really needs a way to burn off his emotions in useful violence rather than bottle them up. One choice for the kids, because this isn't their fault. One for the new daughter... this is a critical time not to reject her.

There was a lot of talk about keeping "us" safe and it's certainly true, but it's hard not to notice that "us" includes herself.
But then, why should anyone be surprised? Once you've sold a son, why not a daughter as well? It's not like the matter of Charles didn't make it perfectly clear that she's capable of this, and ultimately Phillip agreed to selling Charles to Merlin. What, one is cool but two is bad?

She mentioned specifically that most all of the Fae would love nothing better than to get their hands on each and every one of our children and do unspeakable torture to them.
But Philip was upset she was protecting him.
I'm not saying she was right but I am saying I at least understand where she came from on this.
It's also clear that our daughter (who was...you know what I'm not gonna try to figure out the term here but "cloned" doesn't work) was not tortured. She was as well-treated as she could be. Merlin raised and trained her, and seems to have no ill intent for her.
Does Philip have reason to be upset? Yes, of course. Does this hurt trust and damage the relationship? Yes.
Is this marriage unsalvageable? No. Not while both draw breath.
(I also can't entirely blame her from fleeing Angry Philip, because Angry Philip is basically a murderbeast.)

I feel like we need to be alone for a little bit and think about the situation before we try to work off our anger and accidentally hurting some one

After this vote we need to talk to Charles to see if he knew or not about what Morgayne did, and if he did know we're going to slap him upside the head for not telling us.

That...Could have gone better. Granted it also could have gone far worse so I'm just going to be thankful that nothing truly horrible was said/done.
