A Warrior's Kiss ( A Merlin Fanfiction )

23 |

I was greeted by several people who thought I was in coma. They were as surprised as Abigail, Arthur and Leon. I then saw a very elegant lady wearing a nice silk gown in the courtyard. She looks at me like I was one of the horses' dung or something.

"What are you?" The lady looked at me in disgust.

"I am the Captain of the Royal Guard," I told her.

"And you do not wish to bow?" The lady snorted.

"You must be Lady Catrina of House Tregor. Welcome to Camelot," I rolled my eyes.

"How can a wimp like you become the Captain of the Royal Guard?" Catrina scoffed and stuck out her tongue at me.

I drew back in surprise, "Excuse me?"

"Uther must have been drunk when she chose you to become the Captain. Can you believe that, Jonas?" She turned to her assistant and laughed.

I raised one brow, "I believe I am very well-trained by the Prince himself. I have served Camelot with loyalty." I told her. "What is your business here in Camelot?"

"Jonas and I are here to seek audience with the King." Catrina informed me.

"You must have already heard the unfortunate news that Uther is already dead due to a very severe sickness." I said. "Why do you wish to speak to him?" I asked.

"It's none of your business." Jonas growled.

I drew my sword, "I am the Captain of Camelot, it is my business as well as yours. Leave now. We wish no audience with you." I snapped.

Luckily Gwaine, Elyan, Percival and Leon arrived to back me up. They had their swords drawn, and obviously their suspicion was on the Lady Catrina and Jonas.

"We wish to speak with the King this instant!" Catrina stomped her foot.

I stepped back from her in surprise when her human form morphed into a troll's. I cringed, but Jonas let out a laugh. The Catrina-troll's eyes glowed yellow, and I was thrown backwards until my back hit the wall pretty hard.

Even the knights were no match for the troll. Jonas came to me with a sword in his hands, I quickly regained conscience and picked up my sword, piercing it into his chest before he did with me.

"Jonas!" The troll yelled.

Leon picked his sword up and stabbed the troll before she could even reach me. He cringed when the troll let out a loud fart, before coming still.

"Thank you, Leon." I told him, giving him a nod.

That's when Arthur and Gwen came down the steps, and Arthur spotted the troll corpse and Jonas on the ground dead, and asked, "What the hell are those?"

I shrugged, "The troll-princess wants audience with you. I declined, and she got into this heap of...mess." I said with exhaustingly.

"I just came here to tell you all that Gwen and I are engaged," Arthur began casually, "And that we are going to get married. On the same day both of you do." He gestured at both Leon and I.

"What?" I gasped.
