'thoughts'
'talking'
Arthur was walking back to his chamber's one night, after dining with his father. But he had wish that he had, had the time to change before going as he was still in his armour from training with his knights that afternoon.
'I will be glad to get out of this armour' Arthur thought. He continued down the corridor then rounded to next corner and stopped dead in his tracks. Standing not far from his was a young girl, dressed in a red tunic, trousers tucked in her boots with her blonde hair down curling around her face and shoulders and his servant Merlin looking like they were having an argument, but he was not sure. So he decided to stay quite and watch.
'Merlin I can not tell Arthur' the young girl said to the dark haired, blue eyed boy. 'There is no way that I'm going to tell him'
'You are going to have to tell him, if he finds out from someone else how do you think he is going to react' Merlin replied to the young blonde haired, blue eyed girl.
'What is going on' thought Arthur 'what are they talking about, what has this girl got to tell me and who is she' Arthur wanted to walk straight up to them and demand to be told what was going on, but he thought better of it and stayed where he was, he would find out soon he was sure of it.
Arthur continue to watch the pair as they continued their argument still unaware that they were being watched by the young prince.
Suddenly the girl turned around to walk away from his servant, she had only taking a few steps when… 'Del….Arthur would understand !!' that court the attention of the prince and made the girl stop walking.
Arthur could not believe what he had just heard the young girl was his close friend Del, he know that she did not like to wear dresses but she did it to please his Father, but why was she not wearing one today !?!
'Del!!' Merlin speaking brought Arthur back to reality 'you know Arthur would understand you wanting to protect yourself'
Del turned back to Merlin and spoke 'But he might not understand why I went to Sir Leon'
'Sir Leon what did he have to do with this, what is really going on here !!!' Now Arthur was finding it very hard not to say something.
'I wish now that I had not decided to try and wield a sword, it was a stupid idea Merlin'
Merlin frowned at Del 'but Sir Leon said that you was getting really good at it, he even said that in time you would be a match for the prince himself' by the end Merlin had a smirk on his face, he know it would annoy his master if he found out. Del looked at Merlin and smirked 'he said that ?' Merlin nodded.
Now Arthur was angry and hurt, why had Del gone to Sir Leon and not to him, oh yeah because she thought he would not understand her wanting to learn how to protect herself, it was true that he didn't like the thought of her going into battle, the thought scared him more then anything in his life, he could not lose her. He could not listen to the conversation anymore, so turn his bad to the pair and walk the long route to his chambers, sad, hurt, confused and lonely.
First chapter done, i hope it wasn't to bad
