When Claudius return to Camelot, the country celebrated his return. He had grieved for brothers and mother, and he had a new-found hatred for Troy. The man killed innocent people to complete his goals and would do so even to the people he considered family. His Father most likely knew of his brothers' actions, but even the King cannot convict without evidence. He remembers the moment of his return the relief and understanding in his father's eyes.
It has been two months before Claudius decided to go to Burne Village, he had been thinking non-stop about Faith during this time. He wanted to see her again sure, but she also was the only one with some answer to his questions.
Claudius walked into Burne Village accompanied by his two twin attendants Klan and Glen. The first thought that crossed their minds was that it was stunning, lively and peaceful despite it being a border town. It made Camelot seem like a shanty town. He looked around and noted it wasn't just humans here, Druids and Kujos (Beast-men) were also here. These races have tremendous animosity towards each other everywhere else but here, strange. No wonder the nobles who visited here frequently kept quiet about this place, they didn't want the town ruined.
Music started to play all of a sudden as the people rushed toward the center of the village and began to dance. Klan and Glen were left with their mouths wide open in surprise, but Claudius had a broad smile instead as he thought it was undoubtedly a beautiful place. Claudius moved towards the lady who was watering the flowers.
"Excuse me, Ma'am."
"Yes," She smiled sweetly "What can I do for you, sir?"
"I'm looking for a woman named Faith, may I know where she lives."
"Another noble, looking to get his wife pregnant, or cure something…." She looked down and giggled. Which nearly set Klan and Glen off, but Claudius stopped them from taking any action.
"No, just some questions," he said as he didn't take offense to her comment. Noting that the people here aren't afraid nobles and maybe not even royalty.
"Faith lives in the Mil by the waterfall" She points to the waterfall that's visible from the town "She's always lived here since our former chief brought her back from his travel overseas. You be kind to her stranger or will face the consequences" the women said with a darkened tone "Her student Merlin is that odd looking boy with blue hair, he's dancing with Vivian. If Faith isn't home, he'll know where she went" she said as she turned back to watering the flowers
"Thank you," Claudius said truthfully as he walked toward the plaza where the people were dancing. He paused for a moment as he felt something was amiss when he turned around the lady watering the flowers was missing.
"Where did she go?" Klan said in confusion
"How strange," Glen said with a frown
Claudius was thoughtful for a moment "Faith is a witch" he whispered, he then proceeded to walk toward the youth named Merlin who had stopped dancing and lightly kissed the girl in front of him. Both of their faces are flushed red. He coughed to get the young couple's attention, the both of them looked startled and embarrassed.
"Hello, Merlin right." He reached out to the young boy "I'm looking for Faith."
