User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/Just a thought: Why did Hunith send Merlin to Camelot?/@comment-5829707-20121209175339

Why Hunith sent Merlin to Camelot has everything to do with Gaius. She trusts Gaius with Merlin's life. Gaius was the one who hid Balinor from Uther and helped him escape. Gaius is probably the most knowledgeable person on magic in the entire kingdom and he is the one Hunith trusts most to take care of her son. She wouldn't send him to someone she doesn't know.
