Arthur’s POV

I stood on the steps with Mordred, Morgana, Morgause and Morgana’s maid Gwen as we watched as The King of Starlight and Lady Helen arrive. “Don’t worry sire everything will be fine,” said Mordred.

“I know but thank you Mordred,” I said to him.

Lady Helen and the king stepped out from the carriage but with a third person. I took that to be the king’s son and prince. I saw Morgana eyeing him up, what is she thinking? Morgana always seems to be up to something and I normally don’t like it.

Morgana and I stepped forward. “it is a pleasure to have you all here,” I said to the king as we shook hands.

“I’m very happy to be here Arthur,” he smiled.

“This is Morgana my sister,” I introduced him to her.

“My pleasure,” said the king as he took Morgana’s hand and kissed her hand. Lady Helen and the prince came forward.

“This is Lady Helen my amazing daughter and this is my son Richard.” I shook Richards hand before I took Helen’s hand and kissed her hand while Richard did the same to Morgana.

I had gone to see my father before this and he wanted me to marry Helen to reunite our lands. If I did this it would be likely for me to become king instead of Morgana becoming Queen. My father has not discussed this with Morgana and for now I don’t wish to either.

I can’t seem to trust Morgana right now but can you blame me?  With these dreams with Merlin and Gaius telling me Morgana isn’t ready for the throne I’m not sure what to do anymore. This is just such a big responsibility and I wish I had someone to help me through other then Gaius. A person I could trust and a friend. I thought Mordred was that but I feel like he is more on Morgana’s side and that makes me not trust him as much as I use too.

We all headed inside and our guests got shown to their rooms. I went back to my chamber for a little while so our guests could just come in and relax for a while. We would have a meal later together to discuss their visit. My dad wants me to get to know Helen as soon as possible.

You have to have a connection, something there and I hope I feel that when I get to know her because I’m worried it’s not going to be there at all.

Lady Helen’s POV

Arthur is good looking. I can’t deny that but when you first meet someone you always feel something and I hadn’t felt that and the way he looked at me, I’m concerned he doesn’t want to do this too. Probably for different reasons but sometimes that doesn’t matter. I don’t want to do this because I have a feeling this isn’t right. I need to worry about Merlin even if I don’t know him than anything else.

I sat on the bed thinking. Soon I will be having dinner with everyone and that will be where my father will expect me to talk to Arthur and get to know him better. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this dinner without thinking about Merlin. People would think I’m obsessed by someone I don’t even know but I don’t love him as a boyfriend it’s almost like a brother and I feel like I need to remember him. I need to know who he is as I have a feeling he is in trouble.

I got up from the bed wearing my long purple dress. I sighed before I left the chamber and towards the council chamber where we would be eating. I wonder what this meal will bring. What will happen? I hope I get on with Arthur though because I don’t think I will have a choice in marrying him or not and I want someone I will at least like.

Morgana’s POV

“I think he is a very handsome,” said Morgause to me.

“You think so? I like him too. I just hope he has a good personality if I have to marry him,” I sighed.

“I bet he will be Morgana. You get to meet him probably soon and speak in a conversation. That is clearly going to crate sparks between you I just have this feeling,” smiled Morgause.

“I do hope you are right,” I said as we both got up from the table in my chamber.

“I will make sure Arthur and Helen doesn’t get on straight away,” said Mordred who stood near the door.

“I know you will Mordred and thank you.”

We all headed to the council chamber after that. Once we arrived I made sure to sit next to Richard. He smiled at me as I did which was a very good sign. “You are looking beautiful,” he said to me.

“Thank you and you’re handsome yourself,” I said smiling at him.

I watched as Helen and Arthur sat down and I couldn’t help but laugh when Arthur fell of his sit. Mordred winked at me and I nodded to him.

Clearly as soon as Arthur finally sat down I had this feeling those two have no connection. I laughed.
