Notes:

A/N: Updates may come slowly, and I apologize for how short this is, I just wanted to get it started before I forgot!

Chapter 1: Entrance of the Mage Kngiht

Chapter Text

The kingdom of Camelot bustles as an unfamiliar prince, a mage, enters on horseback along with his two knights. They're brought to the throne room, where they kneel before King Arthur.
“King Arthur. I am Prince Alexander of Karlen. You have lifted the ban on magic set by your father, and I am here to offer my knowledge and sword, if you so wish.” The king nods, bidding the mage to stand. “Thank you, Prince Alexander. I accept.”

Chapter 2: Blood Brothers

Summary:

Leon realizes why the mage knight is familiar

Chapter Text

Leon had never thought he'd see his little brother again. He had left Karlen at a mere two and ten to squire and become a knight for Camelot. And now…now his little brother is seven and ten, nearly eight and ten, and he stands before him and his king. He's older now, scarred on his face and most likely other places. Leon can hardly believe it, but he knows it's true. Karlen only had two heirs, Leon himself and his brother. Alexander had expressed before Leon left that he felt uncomfortable and not right in a woman's body, and their family had readily accepted it. One reason Leon had come to Camelot had been his brother's protection; he could keep King Uther from attaching Karlen if he were to find out about Alexander's magic. “Leon,” comes a worried voice, from his king; Arthur. “Are you quite alright, Sir Leon?” The question is genuine, King Arthur truly cared for the round table and especially the one he'd trusted since childhood, his first knight. Leon nods, breath catching. “Yes, sire. I just…if you'll recall that I come from Karlen, that is my younger brother. I've not seen him for nearly fifteen years.”
