Summary
Ygraine’s blood is taken downstairs. She doesn’t want Arthur to see her bare arm. It’s too intimate.
It doesn’t matter what the result of the test is, she knows she doesn’t know him.
Her mum opens the envelope for her when it comes because she can’t bear to do it herself. Mum and Ector sit on the one side of the purple table in Ygraine’s grey little, sad little flat and read while she buries herself in her arms and dread on the other side.
Mum puts the letter down on the table.No one speaks until Ygraine cannot stifle her sobs any longer.
She never asked for a son.
(King Arthur returns in the modern era. Soon after, Ygraine's not-quite-ex husband announces that he is the guy's father and he is willing to take a blood test to prove it. When the test comes back positive, Ygraine is forced to make space in her life for a son she can't remember and never actually wanted to have.)
