‘Why would they go to the Dragon Valley?’ said Sir Lancelot as they circled around on Susan’s back. ‘The little dragon’s parents will be looking out for him.’

‘Exactly,’ said Morgan le Fey. ‘So that means they are going to hide in the last place they think we would look for them.’

‘They’ve gone into that cave,’ said Sir Lancelot. ‘So all we have to do is fly down there and grab them.’

‘I think not. I think that is the cave with the tunnel at the back that leads into the castle drains. I don’t think they’re going to hide in the Dragon Valley. I think they are planning to hide in Camelot itself.’

‘Quite,’ said Morgan le Fey. ‘Too bloody clever by half. There are over a hundred drains going down into the sewers. It could take weeks to find them.’

Morgan le Fey had been an independent free-thinker all her life. Someone only had to tell her not to do something for her to want to do it. Her parents and teachers had thought this would be the easiest way to get her to do something they wanted her to do, but which she didn’t want to do.

This was what is known as a win, win, win situation because:
