Gwen pov:
Dinner was quite boring and as soon as i was done with my plate I excused myself and retreated to my mother's garden.
I always find peace in this place...everyone here knows not to bother me
Arthur: "princess?"
And yet...
Gwen: "prince Arthur...are u following me?"
Arthur: "no and...yes. I wished to escape the feast and i noticed you already did so i thought we could be each other's company"
Gwen: "and why makes u think i would want you company?" He seemed taken back at my answer...no doubt he is not used to women scorning him
Arthur: "i just assumed..."
Gwen: "you just assumed that every woman you meet is going to be falling at your feet with your arrogant charm"
Something flashed in Arthur's eyes as his expression drops
Arthur: "I'll have u know that most princesses would be honored to be in my presence let alone have me as a companion"
Gwen: "well I'll have u know Arthur Pendragon that i am not like most princesses...i have no interest neither being in the presence nor in the company of a spoiled inconsiderate bully" i turn on my heal and begin to walk away but not before adding "and get out of my mother's garden!"
----------------------------------------------
Arthur pov:
"And get out of my mother's garden!"
She just walked away...how...I've never been rejected in my life!
I turn and walk away while muttering to myself
'Who does she think she is! I will not be talked to like that! She is the spoiled one! She thinks she is so beautiful with her long hair an her captivating eyes and that smile...she is nothing but a silly girl who knows nothing and does not even know how to fight!'
Uther:"arthur?"
Arthur: "AH!" I calm down as i realize who it was "father...what are u doing out here?"
Uther: "well i was looking for you and believe me when i tell you i never thought i would witness my son going mad"
Arthur: "i am not going mad!"
Uther: "well then the muttering and shouting to yourself must be completely normal...very well then" he turns and adds "come along king Damien and i have some news"
Arthur: "this does not sound good"
I follow my father back to the castle and we go up to the king's study. Thankfully the princess was nowhere to be seen.
Damien: "Uther...Arthur" we nod back to the king as he motions for us to sit. My father takes a seat while I decide to remain standing.
Uther: "now then...should we tell him?"
Damien: "in a minute"
As i was about to ask what they were talking about the door opens and to my disdain Guinevere enters
Gwen: "father you sent for me?"
Damien: "yes good now" he stands and goes to his daughter "you are well aware of the danger that Senred poses"
Gwen: "yes father"
Damien: "and u are aware that he will do just about anything to gain power and this kingdom" Gwen just nods at him keeping her expression blank "our kingdom's strength lies in the castle...as long as the castle stands we will endure. But it has come to my attention that should he strike the one person i cherish then my kingdom is as good as gone."
Gwen: "father what happened yesterday was merely a coincidence. You know that i am more than capable of defending myself..." I snort at that statement which earned me a stern look from my father and then one from Damien
Damien: "ill have you know young Arthur that my daughter is one of the best fighters we have here in Leoness"
Arthur: "well then i fear gravely for Leoness" i say with a smile
Gwen: "very well then prince Arthur...arm yourself"
Arthur: "im sorry what?"
She takes her father's sword and unsheathes it pointing it at me
Gwen: "i said arm yourself"
I laugh at this childly behavior "no i refuse to entertain you"
Gwen: "very well then"
She starts to turn then swings the sword really fast. Thankfully my reflexes were as quick as her actions.
I turn and wield my sword just as she swings hers again. We cross them as she smiles and doesn't stop attacking. I keep up with her as much as I can...i have to admit she is very skilled....but i was not ready to say that out loud. I have to end this. I take a step back readying my final blow when the door opens and i lose concentration for a second which was enough for Guinevere to catch me of guard, scratch me and get me on my back with her sword to my throat.
Gwen: "and so falls The Prince Arthur of Camelot..."
She puts the sword away an offers her hand to assist me up. I take her hand and nod towards her feeling like a complete idiot
Damien: "you see Arthur, even the best warriors can be put down when the odds aren't in their favors. You got distracted for a second and it lost you the duel and that is exactly what happened with Gwen last time. Your arrival at the clearing wasn't planned and so she lost focus for a second and since Senred's plan was to kill her the whole time he took the chance."
Arthur: "can we please get back to the point you were trying to make?"
Damien: "ah yes well. Gwen yes you may be able to take care of yourself, but every time u step foot out o the castle you will be in danger and i will be in a constant state of panic. Furthermore i cannot force you to remain caged in the castle mostly because you will ignore me and so kind Uther and i have decided that you will go with them to Camelot"
Gwen/Arthur: "what?!"
Arthur:"u cant be serious"
Gwen:"there has to be another way"
Uther:"it is the only way to ensure your safety"
Gwen: "and whats to stop Senred from attacking me in Camelot?"
Damien:"well you wont be yourself"
Arthur:"meaning?"
Uther:"Guinevere will be disguising herself while being our guest"
Arthur: "and whom is she supposed to be?"
Uther:"your cousin"
Gwen:"well this is just outrageous. I refuse to be disguised as a cousin o a Pendragon. And I dont mean any offense my lord Uther but its just...if am to be shown as your relative then your enemies will surely seek me as a way to exploit you...so the danger is all the same"
Damien: "I assure you dear that it's different..."
Gwen:"its not different...if i am to agree to this then i will choose my disguise"
Arthur:"well this should be pleasant...what will you choose then?"
Gwen: "i will become a servant in Camelot"
