You Never Break Your Promises (Merlin Fan Fic)(Book Two)

Chapter 4 - The Welcome Home's

The days turned back to normal, the people of Camelot filled the streets, with street performers and marker traders selling their wares. Nixie stood at the window of her guest chamber looking out, remembering the day she first came to Camelot, walking up the over crowded street, to the castle.

Smiling she turned and lay back down on her bed, waiting for Adela to come and take her to the council chambers. The room was nothing special, just a bed, a large tall wardrobe, and a table surrounded by wooden chairs, near to a stone fireplace.

Nixie just lay on the bed, before hearing the chamber door swinging open and hitting off the wall.

"Nixie? My father wants you to come to the council chambers, for the meeting of the round table. He wants to see you after as well," Adela said to her smiling, as she came round a pillar of white stone.

"Is he going to send me to death again," Nixie replied moving her head up to face Adela.

"I am not sure," Adela said half smiling before leading her down through the castle.

The round table was surrounded by the knights in chain mail and red clocks, all except, Gwen, who was wearing a purple dress, Nixie, who was wearing a green dress, Adela, who was wearing a red dress and Nyx who was wearing a pink dress.

"I call this meeting of the round table to order," Arthur spoke out to his knights and ladies, "First of all, i would like to say welcome back to Adela, and thank you to Nixie, for helping to bring her back, i am in-dept to you,"

Nixie nodded to him with a small smile on her face, before turning to face Adela, who was smiling up at her father. Everyone seamed to be happy. Nixie listened to the patrols findings and what was going to be happening in the city in the next couple of days. Which was not a lot, but a festival, to celebrate the return of Lady Adelaide.

The round table's meeting came to a close. All the knights left in pairs or threes. Nyx and Adela got out of their seats and walked out the door together, walking down to the armoury with the other knights to get prepared for training. Arthur got up slowly and was almost last to leave.

"You should join us for training, i want to see how you fight," Arthur asked looking over at Nixie. It looked like she had no life left in her. She was so still. She finally nodded, looking down at the table. Arthur looked at her,wondering as to what she was thinking of. Not looking up she spoke back to Arthur.

"I am sorry, For everything I have put you and Adela and everyone through," her eyes saddened as she spoke and tears slowly forming, "Please forgive me,"

"I forgive you, you saved my daughter's life. I owe you gratitude," Arthur replied, smiling over at her, "And I believe you, Nixie you are family and we stay as a family. That is one thing Morgana doesn't have,"

She rose her head slowly and turned her head to see her uncle smiling over at her. Lifting her lips she smiled back, he wrapped his arm around her. "It's me who is sorry," Arthur told her. He let her go turning to leave and prepare for the training session. Before leaving to get prepared for training, she looked at her surroundings in the long wide chamber.

The halls were filled with servants and knights running and walking, up and down. Adela and Nyx dodged the knights coming towards them as they attempted to get to the armoury.

Once out of the over crowded hallway, Adela and Nyx walked down the stone steps to the large armoury, where their armour, Chain mail and weapons waited for them to put on.

"Hope we can show the boys who is the boss," Adela giggled.

"They won't know what's coming," Nyx said and then laughed.

"Hold on, you can't put that on now," Adela winked at nyx, "Your not training for the foreseeable future,"

Nyx shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes, she knew deep down she was right and she wasn't able to do a lot over the next few months.

The King's closest knights were already in their armour and were sharpening their weapons, when both girls came into the armoury laughing.

Giving them confused looks Adela went behind a screen to put on her red under dresses and came out beginning to get her chain mail on. Percival wandered over to helped his wife buckle up the chain mail and armour.

"What we're you two laughing about," He said still confused.

"You will find out in a bit," Adela said before bursting out laughing. Eventually they were all ready for training.
