The First Female Knight Of Camelot

Chapter 7

  Amy got out of bed. She was a bit wobbly and Arthur ran to her side to support her. "Maybe you shouldn't train" Arthur said. "I am a Knight of Camelot. I expect no special treatment" Amy said as she went behind her cover and began to undress. "Please can you pass me my chainmail my lord?" Arthur nodded and placed her chainmail over the top so he didn't see her body, much as he wanted to. "I am going for a ride tonight with the Knights. We are going to check our surroundings as people have made reports of a creature. You will be expected to attend. But if you don't feel up to it, I can get you out of it" Arthur said. Amy came out and Arthur took her cape and wrapped it around her, tying it up. "My lord, I feel fine. I just swallowed some water. Gaius has already told you I will be ok. Please. Do not treat me like a damsel in distress my lord. I am a Knight of Camelot. We must fight together" Amy said. Arthur looked at her, pride shone is his eyes. "We ride at dusk. I will collect you from your chambers. You will not leave Camelot's grounds without an escort from now on ok? You must also tell me when you do. No disappearing ok?" Arthur said, worry lacing his voice. "Yes Sire" Amy smiled. She looked exhausted already. "Let's go" Amy said. Arthur nodded. He went into his chamber as Gwen and Merlin arrived. Amy ate what little was left of her breakfast and Merlin took Arthur's breakfast to his room. Gwen did Amy's hair and Merlin got Arthur dressed. They both went down to train. Amy worked harder than she had ever worked before and it clearly showed. She was excelling in every aspect of training. Once training was over, Leon came over to her. "How are you doing? I heard Arthur staying in your quarters last night to watch over you" "That's correct. He stayed with me. I don't see why. I am fine. Thank you for yesterday. You didn't have to save me. I owe you a great debt" Amy said as she walked away.
