My Cinderella (Arthur Pendragon love story.)

Chapter 28

*Previously*

"I will wait until you're ready. I will you as my wife and the Queen of Camelot alongside me. I will wait to the day I die."

*Present*

Isabella made her way from Arthur's chambers towards Gaius' room. Her mind and heart racing as her speed continued to speed up. His words replayed in her mind like a stuck record, "I Love you Isabella. As you should know I am to be King soon and as the King I need my Queen, and.............. I want it to be you."

She was not expecting him to be so open about it, a servant and a prince getting married? That cannot happen it is against the laws. A prince must only marry a princess or a high lady. (A lady with a high status). Isabella was neither. She was just a servant girl who had become good friends with a prince, who at first she could not stand to be near.

She wiped away her tears as she reached for the handle on the closed door of Gaius' room. She pushed it open and stepped into the room. Merlin and Gaius stood by the table, Gaius working on a potion and Merlin reading a book in front of the table.

The two looked up as the door opened and there Isabella stood, with tears falling aimlessly down her rosy cheeks. Anyone who knew the full story would think that she made the wrong choice, being asked by a prince to be his queen. But she knew that it could never happen.

Isabella's head began to spin as she tried to grab something near her, she felt extremely light headed and started to rock back and forth. Merlin noticed this and rushed to get to her before she passed out. Just as merlin reached her, her vision darkened and all visions before her faded into black.

 The last thing she saw was Merlin's worried face and him screaming for Gaius to fetch someone....

*A couple of hours later*

Isabella woke up with a cold cloth draped over her forehead. She looked around and found herself in Merlin's bed. She moved her legs over the bed and tried to sit up. But gripped her head as pain erupted.

Suddenly the silence in the room was cut when the door burst open. Isabella looked towards the door and Arthur came in. Isabella gasped a little and looked at him. He looked like he had just heard about her and came to see if she was alright.

"I would have been here a while ago, but Merlin didn't tell me until after dinner. Are you alright, you are terribly pale. Do you need anything? I am so-" Isabella cut Arthur off by saying.

"I am fine Arthur. Do not worry. I don't need anything. You have nothing to apologize for anything." She smiled at him.

He offered to help her stand up. He took her arms in his soft hands and held onto her as she stood up, not letting her go while they walked into Gaius' room where she saw Merlin, Gaius, Gwen, and Violet. She smiled at them and Arthur helped her sit in the chair by the table.

Gaius then handed her a vial of something, and she looked at him with a quizzical face, "It will help the pain."

She nodded and drank the vial of medicine. Arthur then turned to Gaius and said, "Gaius, what happened, why did she pass out?"

Gaius looked at Arthur and said, "She hasn't had a lot of food lately so her sugar levels were down and then she must have heard something that caused her nerves to skyrocket and her body couldn't handle the stress and shut down. Luckily she was here, if she wasn't she might have had a much worse effect by now."

Arthur looked at Isabella knowing exactly what had caused her nerves to skyrocket. The proposal. He should've waited until the time was right. Isabella looked at him and took his hand, making him look at her again. She then said, "Arthur, this is not your fault. I know what you said you meant fully, just give me time."

Arthur smiled at her and Merlin then said, "Arthur your father is looking for you, I think it best that you go and see him before he tries to find you."

Arthur nodded and sent Isabella a final smile before leaving out the open door. Then everyone looked at Isabella.....
