CHAPTER FORTY FIVE, episode three, the wicked day.
ISABELLA VALOUR laughed with glee as she ran through the busy hallways of the castle for a very special day. the princess jumped over some kind of wooden chair someone had dropped and rushed up the large steps to arthur's chambers.
"good morning, your grace." sir percival, sir gwaine and sir leon called out, but they received no response. anyone would be shocked she ignored her favourite knights but the three of them shared a knowing smile knowing exactly where she was going.
due to her being so excited, she completely forgot to knock on the door and ran in, arthur jumped up from his chair where he was eating breakfast, but smiled seeing her. "please stop doing that." merlin complained, his hand on his heart.
"happy birthday!" she practically squealed, flinging her arms around the poor man.
arthur hated birthdays. but because it was isabella, he chuckled and thanked her. "my, arthur...have you seen the castle? the decorations are magnifique! and the carnival of entertainment has arrived!" she jumped up and down, dragging arthur to the window.
"look!" she dragged both merlin and arthur over to the window.
"OH, DID YOU SEE THAT?!" isabella widened her eyes seeing a man doing a very skilled flip off of his horse.
"the man throwing sticks in the air?" arthur asked sarcastically, "very nice."
she frowned, turning to look at him in confusion. "and why are you so sour on this special day?"
"perhaps i'm less easily impressed than you." arthur smiled gently, making isabella cross her arms.
"well, me and merlin are really looking forward to it." she said, making merlin stand next to isabella and cross his arms to copy her.
"that's because you have the mind of children." arthur mused, turning to find his coat.
"and yet i'm still more intelligent than you." merlin mumbled, arthur yelling a i heard that! back.
isabella walked in front of arthur and merlin went to polish his armour. "would you like to see your gift?" she asked, a wide smile on her face.
he chuckled slightly, and nodded. "of course i would."
"okay, close your eyes—i mean it! no looking!" she exclaimed when he opened one eye, which was quickly shut again.
