Daisy is by herself at her parents' house. They're working at the bakery. She is walking along the backyard and looking at the garden which contained various vegetables. She still can't comprehend how suddenly their lives changed due to her mother's accusation of him holding her hostage at Camelot. She had just gotten comfortable with Arthur and she also fell in love with him. This was so unfair. Every day that Daisy was away from Arthur, the more she missed him. Daisy missed how Arthur would wrap his arms around her body and just hold her until the morning. She also missed how he would kiss her neck when they're lying in bed. Sometimes he would run his fingers through her hair. When they had conversations he would call her his beautiful Daisy.

"Daisy, are you here?" Two voices yelled.

The voices snapped Daisy from her thoughts. She heard footsteps getting closer to her. Daisy turned around and saw William and Percival standing a few feet away from her. "What are you doing here?" She asked them.

"We brought something for you. We also wanted to check up on you." Percival said.

"Well, I'm alright in the physical sense. Emotionally, I'm a complete mess." Daisy admitted.

"We had a feeling you were going to say something like this." William said with a sympathetic tone. "Arthur is in the same emotional state like you. We visited him the other day at the jail. He was ranting random thoughts about how it was a mistake for him to accept his role as the true born king. He said that he should have never pulled out the sword from the stone because that's what started the chaos in his life. Then he moved on to how he should have just stayed at the brothel and shouldn't have gotten involved with the resistance movement. After that he shifted the topic about how his love for you, the one pure thing in his life, backfired on him. It became his so-called crime and now he's a prisoner because of it. He has lost his mind and isn't thinking clearly."

"We tried to get him to see that he did the right thing when he accepted the fact about being the born king and pulling Excalibur out of the stone. If he didn't do any of these things then he would have never met you. Arthur is miserable. We've never seen him like this." Percival recalled the conversation at the jail.

"I'm miserable too. You think I want to be stuck here and not know what fate has in store for Arthur? I'm sad, scared, and frustrated all at once." Daisy admitted.

"Daisy, we brought this for you

"Daisy, we brought this for you." William approached her and held Excalibur in his left hand. He handed it to her.

"That's Arthur's sword. Why are you giving it to me?" She is confused. "He's the only one who uses it."

"We had a talk with the Mage regarding who can use Excalibur. It turns out you and Arthur can use the sword." Percival mentioned.

"How would that be possible? Arthur is the one who pulled Excalibur out of the stone. The sword belonged to Uther Pendragon. The sword is passed down to Arthur." Daisy thought out loud.
