((MIRA'S POV))
Arthur's old serving boy, Morris, helps him with his armor; when I enter his room, Morris quickly bows and exits. I walk slowly over to where Arthur is and put my hands on Arthur's back and he begins to turn around.
"Let me, Arthur." I say as I fix the strap for the gorget and also tighten the vambrace for him.
"Mira, I'm deeply sorry for the words that I had said and the pain I've caused you." He apologizes to me, handing him his helmet. His eyes go right to the cuts and bruises on my skin. I see worry, pain, and anger all in his eyes at the same time.
"Who?" He asks me, only for me to look away from him and stay silent at this time. He holds my hands in his getting my attention again.
"Mira, Who did this to you?" He growls protectively now, Anger is the only thing I see now as I stare into his eyes, then look down at our hands.
"T-The K-Knight V-Valiant." I try not to cry, but the tears still came.
"He threatens to kill you and take me as his own, Arthur please I can't ba-"
"I promise it won't come to that, I won't let him lay a hand on you ever again."
He says to me, now wrapping his arm around my waist, hugging me closer to him. The metal of his armor is cool against my cheek as I lay my head on his shoulder breathing in the slight smell of it as well. He then lets go of me, I step back slightly only to look at him as I feel something inside of me at this moment, I couldn't tell what it was or even why I was feeling this way too. But without thinking I kiss him on the cheek, then he turns to leave saying:
"Thanks."
"Arthur, please be careful, for me at least." I say worry in my voice as he turns back slowly facing me again.
"See you at the feast."
He says, watching me before leaving his chambers and on his way out to the arena to face Valiant now. I look out of Arthur's window as I see him walking over to the arena. That's when I rush down to where the arena is as well, The crowd cheering as both Arthur and Valiant stand in the center of it. Uther nods at the two saying that they could start fighting anytime now. I stand by the entrance of the arena now as I watch as two other men take their cloaks off from their shoulders and give them their helmets to put on. Valiant puts his on first, then Arthur does, I could tell that he was slightly hesitating at first. That's when Arthur points his sword up slightly above the ground so he and Valiant tap their swords together as if it's something of showing respect, but Valiant being himself flips his sword against Arthurs' as if swatting it away. I hold a breath that I never knew I was holding at this time now as the two of them stand in a fighting stance now. Arthur fights Valiant, each of them evenly matched for a while. Then out of nowhere Arthur knocks Valiant's helmet off, Arthur removes his helmet and they both pull down their mail coifs. I visible cringe right as Valiant knocks Arthur to the ground and steps on his shield and disarms Arthur, but Arthur catches him before he can strike. This happens a couple of different times though, out their fight, which ends right as Valiant pins Arthur against a wall.
"Ah how lovely it would be to bed the Lady Mira, I couldn't imagine what her skin would feel like in my hands nonetheless the sounds she would make as I did things to her!!"
Valiant spats out harshly to Arthur, now from what I could tell that's the second time I see Arthur when he's seeing red. I was seeing red too as I hear Valiant speaking to Arthur about me like this, I actually so badly wanted to Kill Valiant myself at this point, about to step into the arena when out of nowhere Merlin's hand is grabbing my arm slightly in a tight hold as I look back seeing him standing next to me now. I look back to the two fighting just in time to see Arthur shove Valiant off of him and I cover Merlin slightly from the crowd just in case someone would see as he raises a hand towards where he could see Valiant's shield this time and takes the opportunity by casting the spell:
