Merlin paced around Prince Arthur's room, a worried expression on his face and he looked quite buried deep in thought. An unexpected rasp at the door caught his attention. Merlin opened it to find the King and his son, Prince Arthur.

"Ah, yes," the king was saying to Arthur. "I am sure you will do me proud in the tournament."

"Thank you, father." Arthur responds and nods his head in respect as he watched his father make his way back to the end of the corridor. Once he saw Merlin his face fell considerably in annoyance.

"Merlin! Are you working or are you exercising? Come on, Merlin, I need my boots polished, laundry done, a clean ro--"

A sharp knock on the door made Arthur jump a bit. After he snapped out of his reverie he motioned for Merlin to open the door. Merlin, who had picked up Arthur's laundry sighed, setting it down and finally answering the door.

"Hello, is Arthur here?" The girl asks, glancing into Arthur's chambers curiously. Merlin noted they had the same blonde hair and the same eyes. Definitely siblings. He also sensed something else about her, but soon decided he was just imaging things.

 Before Merlin had a chance to reply, "I am right here," A voice from inside says, and the girl enters the room. Merlin continued on with the chores Arthur had sent him to do as the girl made her way over to her brother.

"I wanted to wish you luck in the tournament tomorrow. There will be a lot of great knights entering." She says, sitting down at the table, staring up at her brother.

"It sounds almost as if you don't think I can beat them," Arthur says,  "did you forget that I am the standing champion?"

"Just reminding you of the fact that you are, like me, a mere mortal. Anyway, you know I am only teasing."

"Oh no, no idea at all." Arthur grins. "And did you know that you are without a doubt my least favorite sister, Arianne? Seems like Morgana has some competition for that spot."

"Luckily for me, she is technically the king's ward then," The girl, Arianne smiles and stands up. "I can't stay for long, Morgana and I are to go riding. See you later, then."

"Won't miss you, " Arthur teases, "and anyway, Merlin and I have some training to do, don't we, Merlin?"

Merlin sighs, tilting his head, "More like murder, or attempted murder. Last tim--"

"Oh don't be such a baby, Merlin. See you, sister." Arthur waves a hand at Arianne as Merlin picked up Arthur's armor and equipment.

Ari chuckled, "Good-bye and good luck to you both."

She headed outside and met Morgana. From then on the two gossiped and had a laugh. Most of the talk was of the coming tournament.

"Imagine it, Arthur having help from a girl." Morgana was saying. Arianne nodded, her smile lingering a few moments before a fit of laughter followed.

"Though it will probably never happen," Morgana added, then laughed again.

Morgana and Arianne strolled through the corridors of the grand castle, they had just gotten back from their ride. A few knights had arrived today for the tournament not too long ago, one of them, Knight Valiant was making his way towards the two.

"I come in peace, my ladies," He says, bowing his head respectfully and kissing their hands before glancing up at Morgana and Arianne. Morgana's face colored slightly; Knight Valiant was handsome. Ari glances up at her, biting back a smile.
