((MIRA'S POV))
I wake up to Emma calling my name as she had just put down this dress on one of the nearby chairs:
I get out of bed, Emma prepares a bath in my bathing-chambers, she leaves as I lay in the huge bathing tub that I have in here, getting my things for the day ready before I get out after a while of soaking in the water. I dry myself off, and she helps me into my dress, braids my hair, and sprays some of this rosewater perfume that Morgana gave me as a gift last night at dinner. She and I were talking when there's a knock at the doors of my chambers, she goes to open it as I smooth out the front of my dress until seeing Sir Leon walking with Emma back to where I am now. She places a cloak around me as it's getting colder outside lately, tying it.
"My lady I'm here to escort you to meet with the Prince and the King's Ward as they want you to come and spend the whole day with them today."
Sir Leon says holding out his arm for me to take as he bows his head respectfully. I place my hand in the crook of his elbow as he leads me out of my chambers and down to the Castle Square where Morgana and Arthur are standing with their horses, as well as Merlin holding the reins of my horse, the black one I rode on the other day when I was with Uther, and the same one that I went with Arthur that day too. Merlin bows his head as he gives me the reins of my horse. Sir Leon helps me up on my horse, I smile as a thank you to him for doing that.
"My Lady."
He says, bowing his head in goodbye. Then towards Arthur doing the same thing and Morgana. That's when I noticed a fourth horse saddled next to Morgana's horse, with a basket tied to the saddle and a few other things. I was just going to ask Arthur about this only to then see Merlin getting up into the saddle of the same horse. He smiles at me, nodding as I understand that he'll be joining us on our ride.
"Picnic?"
I mouth asking him, as he nodded yes back at me. I couldn't help but smirk at everything that was on his horse. Then Arthur leads his horse out of the Castle Square and out of the gates. Morgana and I ride next to each other as Merlin does too.
"How did you sleep last night, Mira?" Morgana asks me, smiling.
"Even with the events of late, I slept fine, thank you for asking. What about you?" I ask her, I can tell she has her nights as I do sometimes.
"Some nights are hard for me as well, but last night I didn't have any nightmares which was nice for a change."
She explains I nod in understanding. After a long time riding, we come to the clearing that Arthur and I had found the first time we went riding together. Arthur helps me off from my horse, placing his hands on my hips as I place mine on his shoulders as he places me down on the ground, I couldn't stop staring at him as I smile slightly.
"I hope you enjoy what we have planned for today, it's nice to see that smile again."
He says to me, smile on his lips as I blush at him as he then helps Morgana off of her horse as well. I could see Merlin smirking at me because of how close Arthur and I were a minute ago. I roll my eyes at him, smiling to myself as Arthur tells Merlin to set up the picnic stuff out on the huge dark blue blanket as Morgana and I talk for a bit, giggling and whispering so the boys wouldn't hear us.
