Chapter 4: My First Feast

It's been a week since we have arrived in Camelot and tonight night there was a feast celebrating a tournament coming up. I was excited for I have never been to a feast before. Morgana said they gave her headaches and that she didn't like having Arthur tease her. I smiled at the thought and wondered if my brother was doing a good job.

"Corina what do you think I should where to the feast?" Morgana asked. Gwen had pulled out two dresses and Morgana was having trouble deciding. There was a green one and a red one both of which were stunning.

"Milady I believe you should where the green one so at the end of the tournament you can where the red one as a sign that you are Uther Pendragon's ward." I said.

"Please call me Morgana and that's a nice way to look at it. I think I shall wear the green dress." She answered. We helped her dress and were about to leave when Morgana saw what I was wearing. "Please tell me you have a more formal dress?" she asked. I shook my head in reply. "That won't do at all, go get your sister and bring her here we are going to dress you up."

I nod before quickly going over to where my sister was. On the way I bumped into someone and looked up to realize it was Arthur. My face turned bright red and I bowed so he wouldn't see.

"My lord I'm sorry I didn't see you."

"How many times must I tell you to call me Arthur Corina." He said with a smirk on his face.

"I'm sorry Arthur." I said. He just nodded. I turned around and was about to walk away when he grabbed my arm. I turned and looked at him shock. He must have realized what he had just done because he let go.

"Your brother is an excellent and bright young man. He listens much better than Merlin." Arthur said smiling at me.

"He is very loyal to someone who is willing to give his family shelter, and Merlin isn't that bad." I answered.

"Are you sure about that?" he asks. I laugh before nodding.

"Merlin is who he is there is no sense in changing someone." I answered. He looked at me surprised by how I had answered his question. "I also heard that Merlin believes you will make a great King." I added.

"Merlin is the worst servant ever. I'm glad Jacob is at least decent." He said running a hand through his hair.

"My brother is learning Arthur and Merlin as well. I heard Merlin just became your servant." I said. Arthur looked at me shocked. "You should appreciate what you have, for some people barely have enough food to feed their children." I added before I realized what I had just said. Put my head down again.

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to judge you. If you will excuse me, my lord I have things I need to attend to before the feast." I said before walking away leaving a very shocked Arthur.


"Brianna? Are you in here?" I called as I came into Gaius's and Merlin's chambers.

"I'm here Corina. What do you need?" she asked.

"Morgana wishes to see you in her chambers. She says we need to get ready for the feast." I said. Brianna looked over to Gaius and he nodded.

"Go ahead. You don't want to keep her waiting." He said. Brianna smiled at him before following me out of the room. Once we were far enough away Brianna began to laugh.

"Thank you so much for saving me." She said. "He wouldn't stop talking about Anatomy."

I began to laugh as well. "Is that all you talked about today?" I asked her.

"No, in the afternoon both Jacob and Merlin came in looking exhausted. Jacob told us that Arthur had used them both as target." She said. "Merlin took most of the hits though."

I looked at her and saw she was smiling at the memory. I nudged her in the arm playfully. "You don't have a crush on Merlin do you?" I asked.

"No! Why do you think that?" she blurted out. I looked at her and saw she was turning slightly pink.

"You're a terrible liar Brianna." I said. She glared at me and walked on ahead. I giggled and then caught up with her just as we reached the door to Morgana's chambers.

I knocked and soon Gwen opened the door and showed us in. "Hello Brianna. I trust you learned a lot from Gaius?" Morgana asked. Brianna nodded before bowing. "Please don't bow." Brianna nodded before looking at Morgana's outfit.

"You look absolutely stunning in your dress Morgana." Brianna said with a smile.

"Thank you, now it's my turn to get my three friends dressed for the feast." Morgana said.

Gwen, Brianna and I smiled to each other. We were very excited. Morgana handed Gwen a red gown. She then handed Brianna a blue gown similar to Gwen's gown. Brianna smiled and both her and Gwen went behind the screen to help each other change. Morgana turned to me and grabbed my hand. She pulled me away from the other girls and once we were out of ear shot she turned to me.

"I heard a rumor from Merlin that Arthur fancies you." Morgana said. I looked at her shocked. There was no way Arthur would like a no body like me. I wasn't even pretty.

"I have not heard this rumor. Are you sure Merlin said my name?" I asked. Morgana nodded and my eyes widened even more.

"You really didn't know?" she asked. I shook my head, how was I supposed to know I haven't seen Merlin since I had the audience with the king.

"Well let's just keep this between us." I nodded in return. Morgana then handed me my dress.

The dress was white with a green corset over it. It was beautiful compared to some of my other dresses. I smiled before hugging her. "Thank you Morgana, you have really made me feel welcome." I said pulling away from her.

"Anything for someone who will help me annoy Arthur." She replied back. I laughed before going behind the screen to get changed. As soon as I was done Morgana, Gwen, Brianna and I walked arm in arm to the feast.


When we reached the feast many of the knights and nobles were already there. Morgana entered on her own while Gwen, Brianna and I came through the servant's entrance. As Morgana walked up all eyes were on her, I even saw my brother looking at her. I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing. Just then I caught Arthur's eye. He was staring at me instead of Morgana. I just looked away quickly and started talking to Gwen and Brianna. When Morgana reached Uther the party started again and I saw Jacob and Merlin make their way to us.

"This is going to be a long night." Jacob said smiling at me.

I laughed as Merlin said, "Well at least we are not Arthurs moving targets anymore."

Everyone laughed at that, it was then I noticed Merlin kept staring at my sister. I giggled whispered to Gwen who also started giggling. Just then Merlin asked Brianna if she would like to dance. She nodded and he grinned so widely I thought it might touch his ears. I grinned as Merlin led her away. Just then Jacob asked Gwen if she would like to dance. Soon enough I was left standing to the side watching.

"I'm glad you're enjoying the party Corina." I turned around to see Sir Leon standing there. I smiled at him.

"I guess if you call standing here fun then I'm having a great time." I replied. He laughed and smiled a very charming smile. "I never got a chance to thank you for helping my family. You were very brave."

"It is what the knights are here for, to keep Camelot a safe and just place." He said. "I was wondering if you would care to dance?"

(Optional! listen to "Kingdom Dance" from Tangled!)

"I would love to dance with you." I replied. I smiled at him as he took my hand. As he led me out to the dance floor a jig had begun to play. I turned to see my brother with the musicians. I laughed as it began to play. I turned to see Leon looking very confused.

"Don't you know this dance?" I asked. He shook his head. I quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him into dancing position.

We then began leading him in the dance he smiled as he got the hang of it. I then noticed that a lot of people had joined in. Even Arthur was dancing. He then caught me staring and smirked. I just smiled before turning my attention back to Leon. We laughed it was the best time ever. Suddenly everyone began to switch partners. I came face to face with Merlin. I laughed at the goofy grin on his face as we danced. He twirled me around and soon I was in Arthur's arms I smiled and we danced together until the song was over. When it finished everyone clapped and I bowed to Arthur.

"Your brother has a good ear when it comes to music." Arthur said.

"That song was his favorite song the night before the raiders came." I said looking down. I still missed my home town. I often wonder if my friends made it out.

"Well, then your village must have been special to him if he wanted to hear that song again" Arthur replied. I nodded.

"It was important to him as well as my sister and me" I said looking back up into his piercing blue eyes. "It was the only home I ever knew and now I have nothing left except for my family." Arthur nodded and opened his mouth to speak but was cut off when Morgana spoke.

"I think I'll retire for tonight." She announced.

"Of course, Morgana" Uther said. Morgana smiled and began walking out of the room. I hurried after but not before giving Arthur an apologetic smile.
