I've decided that Montgomery and Cadfael met when they were young due to a longstanding tradition. Basically instead of just having a guard detail, the royal children would also be assigned a child guard. Partially to ensure the royal kid grew up with peers of their own age who weren't all idle nobility. and to ensure they had someone deeply bonded with them as adults to manage their guard and keep the royal safe.

But more so bc no assassin or kidnapper of a royal brat expects the Other brat in the room to have a knife and extensive training on how to use it.

#tbh the reason im implementing this is more for 1 very cute scene idea #Like this is a tradition right? so the adults involved are all very aware of it #and to make sure the guard is capable they'll set up a 'rescue mission' for the kid.#something that makes sure nothing gets out of hand while still letting the guard be a Hero and the royal be saved.#So the kid is taking this Deadly seriously while all the adults are trying to not laugh at how stinken cute the whole thing is #Montgomery tried to pick up Cadfael and princess cary him because thats what all the knights in the books did when They saved #their damsel in distress #but he was like 10 so he just ended up falling with Cadfael.#and the two have been inseparable best friends ever since
