The sun was setting over the gloriously smooth hills of Firegate and the golden rays were flooding into the council chambers in rays. The sun caught the golden/brown waves of Queen Sophia; she was discussing the new border controls with her advisors, suddenly the doors were yanked open, three guards stepped in pulling another man in with them. He was clad in chainmail and armour, but, unlike her knights, he had a red cap, not navy.

She gave the scrolls to her advisor and swiftly walked across the hall, kneeling down at his head, putting her hand on his forehead.

'He has a fever, take him to my chambers' she said, standing up.

'Where is he from?' one of the knights queried. She flipped the cape over to reveal the crest of Camelot.

'He's one of the Knights of the Round Table' She said, 'Take him to my chambers' she repeated the order. The knights hauled the man up and the Queen followed them, her eyebrows furrowed together in worry.

They had half carried, half dragged the knight to the Queen's quarters and they looked around to the Queen, not needing to ask the question of where to put him before she said: 'On the bed, quickly'

They lay him down and Sophia leaned over him, and started to remove the armour, trying to find the poisoned wound quickly. When she got down to his tunic she could see the large blood stain on his left side. One of her servants brought in her physician's bag. With the aid of Sara, her servant, she pulled off the tunic revealing lots of muscles and a large wound in his side. She put a strange green paste on the wound, causing the man to stir in his unconsciousness, she then gently laid her hands on his chest and murmured something and her eyes flashed golden and the colour came back into his cheeks.

She sighed, thankful that he would be alright, she stepped back and looked at the Round Table Knight properly; he had stubble and his hair was long enough to cover his eyes- she brushed it back on his forehead – he really was handsome. She pulled the blankets up on him and asked one of the physicians to wake her if any change, but it was late and she was tired, so went to sleep in another room.

She was woken early the next morning, it was light outside but when she walked to the window, she couldn't see the sun in the sky. Sara had knocked on the door and told her that the Knight had awoken. She rushed out of the chambers, still in her nightgown and got to her normal chambers. She tapped on the door softly with her knuckles.

'Come in' a hoarse voice came from inside, she pushed the door open, seeing the handsome stranger going through her draws, the one he had just closed was her underwear draw.

'What are you doing?!' she exclaimed, her anger barely being suppressed,
'Calm down sweetheart- I was just wondering where exactly I was' the Knight turned and looked at her, she had golden brown hair to her waist, the ringlets slightly messed from sleep, her eyes were deep green and she had pale pink lips. 'I'm Sir Gwaine of Camelot' he introduced himself stepping closer, taking her hand in his and kissing it.

She snatched her hand back, glaring at him, suddenly very aware of her state of dress, 'You are in the Queen's chambers, the Queen of Firegate' she answered,
'I see, and where is this Queen?' he outstretched his arms 'It seems I have to thank her' Sophia looked down, but suddenly someone burst through the door
'Put some clothes on! –Oh, sorry my lady' it was Sara. Sophia laughed and shook her head at Sara.
'I will be there in one moment' she said softly, then turned back towards Gwaine, 'Sir Gwaine, I am Queen Sophia of Firegate, it is nice to meet you'
