First four panels of the Crane Wives lyrics for Gunther finished!

Yes Magnus keeps a shrouded painting of Gunther's mother above his crib as a messed up reminder that she died giving birth to him.

The Queen: *looks sad*

The King: What is it?

The Queen: I think I'm ugly.

The King: Who said that?

The Queen: ...the voice in my head.

The King, looking angry: Let me speak to them this instant.

King Caradoc

[incorrectjane-andthedragon]

Dragon: Magnus has died of natural causes.

The king: You dropped him off of a cliff!

Dragon: Gravity is natural.

King Caradoc: *turns around* I've been expecting you, Jane.

Jane: How did you know it was me without turning around?

King Caradoc: To be honest, the first few people I did that to were not you.

Headcanon that after “A Thing of Beauty”, Caradoc compliments his wife’s appearance a lot more, often taking the time to point out specific features he finds beautiful

Princess Lavinia: Can I have some candy?

King Caradoc: You know the rules.

Princess Lavinia: No candy before dinner?

King Caradoc: No, those are your mother's rules. My rule is that you have to bring me some too.

JATD Theory/Speculation: The book of dragons that Robert referenced is no longer in the catacombs, but is somehow back in the king’s possession...

...he just doesn’t know it. 

Because it would be dire if the book fell into the wrong hands, the book was disguised in a manner so that only someone who knew of the book would be able to tell its true nature, and perhaps even written in code to prevent its dangerous secrets from leaking. 

So consider: 

Jane: Your Majesty, it’s an emergency! We need the book of dragons that King Bartok made!

King Caradoc: I am sorry, but I do not believe have that book!

Jane: It was disguised! As a-a well-made book of maps!

*Earlier that day* 

King Caradoc, sighing: I love all the books of this royal library, but we simply do not have enough space for some of them anymore. It seems I will have to sell some of these for some much-needed money. 

King Caradoc: So we have this book of maps, rather old, but very well made, and I doubt the locations of the lands themselves have changed..,

The Merchant: I’ll take it. 

*The current moment* 

Jane: Your Majesty? 

King Caradoc: so, one problem...

[incorrectjane-andthedragon]

Since I’m still not over all the stuff Robert talked about in Ch.10, have even more speculation. 

Does King Caradoc know about the dragon-related royal secrets Robert was talking about? 

I think this could go a few ways: 

-He doesn’t know/the information was kept from him (maybe his brother knew, since iirc his older brother was supposed to be king and was more likely to be told important knowledge) 

-He knows, and is constantly thinking of the secrets, but hides this well.

-He somehow found out all this deep info, just said “no”, and has been actively repressing his memories of it ever since. 

-He learned of the secrets and then just forgot. He’s a busy man. He’s got kids to raise and a kingdom to run.

King Caradoc: there was a mosquito on my arm so I slapped it and killed it, but then I felt kind of guilty. What if I was getting food from the kitchen one day and someone snapped my neck? How would I feel?

Sir Ivon: with all due respect, Your Highness, are you okay?

[incorrectjane-andthedragon]

*in the kitchen*

Pepper: I taught the king how to use a blender, and I'm starting to think I regret it.

Jane: what makes you say that?

King Caradoc, walking in: Good morning girls!

King Caradoc: *walks over to blender, puts a waffle, syrup and milk in it, then blends and drinks the whole thing and walks out*

Jane:...

Jane: You've created a monster, Pepper

Pepper, softly: I know

More Merlin Crossover 2

Takes place at a dinner after Jane foiled an attempted assassination. They wound up talking about how often it happens in Camelot and poisonings and such.

“Wha- Merlin! Do you mean to tell me-” “That I check all your meals for poison before they get to you? Yes. That’s part of my job.” “It most certainly is not!” “Is so. If there isn’t a personal manservant then that duty falls to the court fool but we can’t have you checking your own food now can we?” Gwendylin gasped and Merlin winced, sure that his accidental slip of the tongue in front of foreign royalty would impede Arthur’s alliance negotiations somehow. But no one from Kippernium was looking at him. They were looking at the bell studded boy playing his lute in the corner for ambiance music. Sensing their eyes he looked up and paused. Beaming he said, “I am proud to report that no one has ever dared try to harm our most beloved King and Queen, nor our precious Prince and Princess.”

Of course Pepper would never but the table is set before the royal family enters and anything could happen to it then.

Also, Jane is so put out about how easy it was to catch the assassin. In her words he was, "Utterly incompetent." The guy was claiming to be a new servant and her father is the steward for crying out loud. She walked away from the whole thing with nothing more than a small cut on her cheek. What kind of scar story would that make for? I hit an assassin over the head with a wall sconce and got this scar in the process. Whole thing took like, forty seconds. No grand battle. Just a dumb intruder. Never mind that Jane was actually super impressive and stopped a well known professional ASSASSIN by herself in under a minute.

King Caradoc: Hey, I do not make the rules, I just enforce them.

Princess Lavinia: But you did make the rules, they're literally called 'The King's Laws'!

King Caradoc: Darn right and I stand by them!

[incorrectjane-andthedragon]

King Caradoc: unfortunately due to budget cuts we're now reduced to three members of staff and a mop we painted eyes on.

King Caradoc: and since everyone wants to know, the mop's name is John and he goes by he/him.

King Caradoc: hey what do you want me to get from the store?

Queen Gwendolyn: Get some milk, and if they have avocados, get six.

*later*

King Caradoc, holding six cartons of milk: they had avocados
