For the next week after the incident at the feast, Merlin had been put to do most chores that the Prince had set for him. Isla had watched her brother clean Arthur's chamber and his clothing and armour, do his laundry, get his food, help him hunt and help him train.

Isla and Arthur had started to become closer since the chat in the gardens after the feast. The Prince had become very keen on making the new Princess comfortable around him; his old feelings for her coming back from where he had hidden them deep within once she had disappeared, many years ago.

When they were younger, Arthur had a crush on the young girl who was his best friend. Of course, she hadn't known that when she was little. But now that she had returned, 15 years later, Arthur's feelings began to sprout again.

Isla also had a crush on the young boy, who has grown up to be the handsome Prince in front of her. After seeing him and her late night conversation with Arthur a few nights ago in the gardens, her own feelings began to sprout again, just like his own.

Now, Arthur stood in his standard training armour, without his helmet. On the opposite side of him stood Merlin, wearing armour with a helmet and shield, ready to help him.

Isla was watching from the side lines, biting her finger nails in worry. Lilly stood next to her lady.

"Ready?" Arthur smirked towards Merlin, who held his shield up.

"Would it make any difference if I said no?" Merlin said, hesitantly.

Arthur laughed, turning to face Isla who was watching intently. He shot her a smile, which she returned instantly. "Not really."

Sighing, Merlin drew his sword and waited until Arthur attacked.

"Body." Arthur hit Merlin's armour around his body. "Shield." He hit the shield with his sword. "Body." Arthur hit Merlin's armour once more. "Shield."

"Shield." Merlin repeated, holding up the shield in place.

"Head." Arthur said, before raising his sword.

"Head?" Merlin questioned, before Arthur hit him over the head with the raised sword. "Ow."

Isla laughed at the sight of her brother on the floor. Lilly turned to the brunette, looking at her questioningly.

"So, my Princess..." Lilly began, pulling Isla out from looking at the two boys training and gaining her attention. "What is going on with you and Prince Arthur?"

Isla looked at the maid in a questioning manner. "What do you mean, Lilly?" She asked. "There is nothing going on between me and Arthur." Isla denied.

"You can't lie to me, Isla." Lilly laughed.

"Come on, Merlin. You're not even trying." Isla heard Arthur taunt to the Warlock in front of him, tagging Merlin in the back as he turned his back to the prince.
