Hello, Merlin fandom! This is my first story about this show so please, be patient with me. Since I am still working on my One Tree Hill story, I will not continue this, until I have finished that one. I can only focus on one story per time, but I am obsessed with Merlin that this idea could not get out of my head, so I had to put this on paper.

In addition, I want to know if people are still interesting on Arthur and Guinevere stories, so leave me a review and tell me if you think I should continue this.

English is not my first language, if you find any typos or grammar mistakes, let me know. I do not have a beta, but I started and English course, I am just in the beginning but hopefully, as I write you will see some improvements.

With the exception of this prologue, you will know when I will update.

Merlin does not belong to me, if does, we would be waiting for season 9.

Each chapter is inspired by a song. Sometimes, the melody, sometimes the lyrics. I hope you enjoy my taste of music as well.


Step outside by Secrets in Stereo

The air is getting thin
It's hard to breathe
I think I need
To step out side
We're both gonna lose
We're both gonna win
Tonight
Cause it's time to say goodbye

You do not know me, and for now, I cannot tell you who I am, although, I have a feeling you will figure it out at some point. Just be aware that what I am about to tell you, it is true. This is not another legend, this is not just a love story, what you are about to find out is a secret that has been hiding for a very long time.

You might have heard about Arthur Pendragon and Guinevere Leodegrance been the king and queen of Camelot, however, did you know that Arthur Pendragon was actually a servant? No? That was what I thought!

Be patient with me, sometimes I tend to be a little confusing, but only because this story is really close to my heart.

I will start my narrative, telling you who was in fact, Guinevere Leodegrance. She is not who you think she was…

Guinevere Leodegrance was a princess, daughter of the king of Camelot Thomas and sister of the crown prince Elyan Leodegrance. Her mother died in her birth, which to her, explain why her father never loved her.

Guinevere was a princess, but not an ordinary one. She preferred swords and arrows, than feast and dance. She would rather use trousers than beautiful gowns. Most likely, you would find her in the training court with her brother and the knights, than in the castle doing frivolous stuff. Fine, doing what "normal princesses do". Morgana had mentioned that to Guinevere at least, a thousand times. Oh, right, Morgana! I almost forgot about her. She is Guinevere and Elyan's cousin, or leastways, is the official story; her father and mother died of the plague when she was just a little girl and her uncle had taken care of her since then.

Coming back to Gwen, she was not the normal, typical princess as I told you. She was selfless, humble, kind, extremely beautiful and a warrior. Yes, you did read right. She was the best archer Camelot had ever seen and in addition, she was incredibly skilled with a sword.

The lack of her father's attention, allowed Gwen some kind of freedom, as long as she was dressed in a beautiful gown, and behaved as a good little princess should every feast and every dinner. Thomas Leodegrance could not care less what his daughter did with most of her time and the princess had learned that lesson in a bad way…I promise I will tell you all about it, in a near future. It is not something easy to talk… it is not something easy to remember.

Guinevere was a princess without a mother, raised mostly by her mother's former maidservant Hunith and the court physician, Gaius. Hunith was an honest woman who loved Guinevere like a daughter. She also had a son, Merlin. He was a good boy and Guinevere best friend.

The princess had inherited her mother great nature, a prove of her heart was that after every lesson, she used to spend, not less than two hours, teaching Merlin, everything she had learned. Sometimes, Merlin complained, especially if the task involved foreign languages such as French and Spanish. You would often listen him saying, "Why do I have to learn this? I'm a servant!" Guinevere on the other hand, would look at him straight in the eye and reply, "No one can predict the future, Merlin. Knowledge is something we can never have enough."

Merlin would take a deep breath and nod, repeating everything she had said in the language they were studying. One of the princess dream was to open a school for the people. She even brought that subject up to discussion with her father, when she was not more than eight years… Let's just say that from that day Guinevere understood that if she wanted to make things better to Camelot, she would have to wait until her brother became king. Since we are talking about Elyan, I guess it is time for you to know a little about the prince heir. He was the pride and joy of the king; all love and affection Thomas still had, was directed to him. As well as, Morgana, but this is something I will tell you later.

The prince was not as compassionate as the princess was, but he too had a good heart and disapproved deeply his father's behavior towards his sister. Nevertheless, never did or said anything about it. To Guinevere, deep down, her brother too blamed her for their mother's death. She never came to know the truth behind her brother's action…That is something I regret daily, not telling Guinevere why her brother kept his distance, even when he allowed her to go into battles with him, she never came to know how much he loved her, how much he used to worry about her…

Are you still here with me? Good. I should stop my tale for today; I think I gave you many things to think about. If you are willing to learn what truly happened in Camelot, I hope to see you again, here, tomorrow.


There you have it, what do you think? Good? Bad? Erase this trash for God's sake? Like I said in my author's note, I've been somewhat obsessed with Merlin, so to finish my One Tree Hill story, I had to publish this. As I mentioned as well, with the exception of this prologue, the teller of this story will tell you when there will be another chapter, so this way, you can prepare yourself.

I hope you liked it, and please leave a review with your thoughts, and tips. Constructive criticisms are always welcome

If you are one of my amazing readers from "The Real Comet" don't worry. I have been working on a chapter for that story too. I will update this week for sure.

For you from Merlin fandom, I hope to see you soon!

THANK YOU FOR READING
