Merthur and Reader x Sir Leon

Prince Roland

Erin and I walk together towards the main door where Uther, some lords and some knights have already gathered in a practised formation. I stand by Uther's side and watch as eight horses and twenty knights bearing the Gonor royal crest enter the courtyard. I put on my fake smile and watch as Uther greets the King and the Prince. He has short wavy brown hair and is quite tall, he also has bright blue eyes and a small scar on his right eyebrow. I walk forward and bow my head  "Its a pleasure to meet you Prince Roland." he grins taking my hand and kissing it "Your description does not do your beauty justice." I blush slightly and he smiles letting go of my hand.

We walk into the palace and into the throne room which has now been filled with tables. I look among the knights looking for Mordred but can't find him. Sighing I turn to Roland who is stuffing his face like he hasn't eaten anything in days "How was the journey from Gonor?" he grins and swallows "Not bad, ran into some bandits but they were dead before try could cause any trouble."

Nodding I have a sip of wine "Do you enjoy riding?" he nods picking up a chicken leg "Very much, what about you princess?" I smile picking at the food on my plate "I love to ride when my father permits it." he grins showing a mouthful of food "Would you care to join me for a ride tomorrow?" I nod "I look forward to it." Eating slowly I watch as he surveys the room eyes lingering on any females he sees "Where is the prince at the moment?" King Liam's booming voice reaches my ears and I turn to see that Uther has gone "He has gone to deal with a group of bandits in a local village." he nods and thumps his son on the back "Off helping the people sounds like my son."

I smile and stand as Uther reappears "I'm sorry to take my leave so early, but I am tired and want to rest for our ride tomorrow." The prince grins and stands "Allow me to escort you to your room." I nod and bow my head "Good night King Liam, Father." Uther smiles and nods once before turning and resuming his conversation with Liam. We walk out the hall and up the stairs towards my room "So princess Y/N, what do you enjoy doing in your spare time?" I smile "I love reading." he nods "I despise reading, more of a practical man myself." I nod and spot a familiar night walking towards us "Sir Mordred." he smiles "Your highness." 

He continues walking and Roland scoffs "He's no more than a boy, what's he doing a knight?" I smile "He's an excellent knight." he rolls his eyes and I stop outside my door "Well I'll see you tomorrow prince Roland." he kisses my hand "Until tomorrow princess." he walks away and I walk into my room shutting the door gently. Erin walks over and smiles helping me out off the dress "So how is the prince? Apparently, he's very handsome." I shrug "He's not bad looking." she grins handing me a nightdress "But he's not Leon?" I scowl "Why do people keep mentioning him?" she laughs hanging up the dress "Because it's obvious the two off you like each other." we sit on the bed and I smile "Well Roland seems nice, he likes riding but he hates reading and he tends to stare at other women."

She nods "Would you like me to prepare your horse for the morning?" I smile "How did never mind. That would be great, thank you." she smiles standing up "Do you need anything else, my lady?" I shake my head "No, thank you, Erin. Good night." she does a small curtsey and leaves. I lay back on the bed pulling the duvet over me, I fall asleep quickly and dream of being free to use my magic.
