The Merlin Chronicles: Box Set (All Three Novels)
Page 108
“The queen is a good lady. She’s been very kind to us both. I hope having us in your home hasn’t been too inconvenient.”
“Not at all, but since you’re going to remain in Baenin, I’ll tell Davidd to prepare one of the new houses for you, immediately.”
“That’s very kind of you.”
“Not at all, Beverley.” Warming to the fact that he was about to have two of the most learned and clever people he had ever met within constant reach, King Arthur decided there was no time like the present to start tapping into their knowledge. “So have you and Jason made any plans for what type of projects you might want to undertake first?”
Beverley smiled, nodded and waggled her fingers, signaling Jason to join her. “I understand you’ve ensured certain rights for your subjects, particularly the women.”
“That’s true. It seemed the right thing to do. Why do you ask?”
“Well, I was wondering if you had ever heard of something called a constitution?”
Silently, Jason rolled his eyes as Merlin grinned and shook his head. The future was going to be a very interesting place.
Epilogue
So what happened to Merlin after he and Jason defeated Morgana le Fay, saved King Arthur’s kingdom and changed the entire course of human history? I think the answer is best expressed in his native Welsh, in a line taken from a poem about another Welsh hero, Owen Glendower:
Rann vawr a ddywaid I varw; y brudwyr a ddywedant na bu
(Many say he died; but the poets say he did not)
My money is on the poets.
