The Legends of Camelot and Kul Elna || Atem Love Story

Chapter 3 - The Legacy of Excalibur

The next day, the Pharaoh and King Uther are enjoying drinks together in the serene garden of Camelot. Atem approaches them, his arm interlocked with Diana's, wearing a confident and content expression.

Atem: (Addressing his father) Father, King Uther, I hope you both are having a pleasant day.

Pharaoh: (Smiling) Indeed, my son. It's a lovely day in Camelot.

King Uther: (Nods) Agreed, Prince Atem. What brings you here?

Atem: (Gently) I wanted to inform you both that I'll be taking Diana on a picnic today. We won't be back until sundown.

Diana blushes at Atem's words, feeling both excited and honored to be spending time with him in such an intimate setting.

Pharaoh: (Approvingly) That sounds like a splendid idea, Atem. Enjoy your time together.

Atem nods with gratitude, happy to have his father's blessing. He then turns to King Uther and takes a deep breath, deciding to share the truth.

Atem: (Resolutely) There's something I need to tell you, King Uther. Yesterday, my father gave Diana a nobility certificate, elevating her status in Camelot. But she wasn't always of noble birth.

Diana looks at Atem, slightly surprised that he's sharing her past with King Uther. Atem continues, knowing that honesty is crucial.

Atem: Diana used to be an orphan, and her status was unknown until recently. However, the circumstances of her birth shouldn't define her worth. She has proven herself to be a loyal friend, a caring person, and someone who brings joy and strength to my life.

Diana feels touched by Atem's words and the way he's defending her, emphasizing her qualities beyond her background.

Pharaoh: (Nods) Atem is right, King Uther. Diana's past doesn't diminish her value. Her character speaks for itself.

King Uther: (Contemplative) I see. Well, if she has the approval of the Pharaoh and has earned your trust, Atem, I see no reason to object.

Atem smiles, relieved by King Uther's understanding and open-mindedness.

Atem: (Grateful) Thank you, King Uther. Your understanding means a lot to both of us.

Diana smiles warmly, grateful for the support she's receiving from both leaders. With their blessings, Atem and Diana take their leave, embarking on a romantic picnic that marks the beginning of a beautiful and promising journey together.

As they wander through the picturesque landscapes of Camelot, they find solace in each other's company, their bond growing stronger with every passing moment, their hearts united in a love that transcends time and background.

*SKIP TIME*

Upon learning about Atem's courtship of Diana and the Pharaoh's approval, Prince Arthur is taken aback. He approaches King Uther, his father, to discuss the matter.

Arthur: (Angrily) Father, why does Atem get to court Lady Diana, but I'm not allowed to court anyone? It's not fair!

King Uther: (Calmly) Arthur, Atem and Diana have a unique connection, one that spans years and kingdoms. The Pharaoh sees potential in their alliance beyond just politics.

Arthur: (Frustrated) But why can't I choose my own potential partner? Atem gets all the special treatment just because he's a prince from another land?

King Uther: (Soothingly) Atem's situation is different, Arthur. His father, the Pharaoh, trusts his judgment in choosing a partner, and they have known each other for a long time. It's not about special treatment, but rather a matter of trust and a long-standing friendship.

Arthur: (Sullenly) But I want to find someone to love as well. Why should I be denied that privilege just because I'm a prince?

King Uther: (Understanding) Arthur, I do understand your desire to find love, but as a prince, your future marriage holds immense political significance. It's a delicate matter that we can't rush into.

Arthur: (Reluctantly) I know, but I can't help but feel envious of Atem. It's just not fair.

King Uther: (Gently) I hear your feelings, my son, and I want you to find love and happiness as well. We will consider potential matches for you in due time, but for now, let's support Atem and Diana's courtship. Who knows, they might set an example for a strong and enduring alliance between our lands.

Arthur sighs, not entirely satisfied with the answer, but he knows his father's words hold wisdom. He eventually comes to accept the situation and realizes that patience is essential in matters of the heart and royal responsibilities.
