I hate you
He had dozed off in that chair of his.
It didn't happen often, but when it did, the guards of the castle knew better than to bother him whenever it happened. The council chambers would then be blocked off and guarded accordingly, no one allowed in or out, until the king's eyes had opened once more.
Last night had just been terrible-- nightmares had filled his mind, where they'd find Morgana but in a state he'd rather not think about. Uther barely slept, and didn't even stop himself when his eyes begun to close after audiences with the people had been closed for the day.
"I hate you."
He was woken up by a whispering, only barely having heard. Drowsiness made his eyes blurry and once his blinks had removed the blur, he saw a young woman, standing at the end of the room. He was confused-- he had never seen her before.
Uther stumbled off of the wooden throne, squinting at the girl in front of him.
"But... what have I done to you?"
He woke up the next day, tucked into his bed in his royal chambers; he was sure it had all been a dream.
