"I wonder if I should've died young"

Lleu couldn't help but think that from time to time. He clenches his fist each time you look at someone else, it started out with the villagers, then the staff and till even family. For someone like him, easily jealous and irritated even though he's spoiled on love, what is there for him to give you? What can he possibly offer in exchange for these years?

.....

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" the words swing like a pendulum, sway like small candle fires, every two steps he takes is met with a stumble

I understand now I'm not exactly a character but the start of a story, a place holder for someone else's love and so it's only right for me to return what I've borrowed

For the small cavity inside your chest, are you willing to take my heart?

#Thinking about how Lleu's presence is an anomaly in itself #Many things could not have happened if Arthur had an heir #Mordred as a character grew because of the absence of his would-be brother #It's like one twin eating another in the womb #Arthur had sacrificed hundreds during the May day massacre to keep Mordred at bay #but it was the empty seat of a single person that let that boy become who he would #In no version of Arthurian myths is Mordred the one who kills his half-brothers even if it might have been beneficial to him #Maybe just maybe he loved them too much and another person had to come and kill off the legitimate heir #the show is ran by bastards after all #the winter prince #my post #medlleu #lleu #arthurian legends #arthurian literature #arthuriana
