Chapter 7

I squeal as I was chased after by Arthur in his secret meadow. For a moment I thought I was going to get away until I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist.

"I got you." He whispers into my ear sending a shiver down my back.

Spinning around I place a kiss on his lips smiling the whole time. "I see that."

He chuckles letting me go and grabbing my hand, "We should head back." He says nodding towards the castle you could see through the top of the trees.

I let out a deep sigh, "Can't we just stay here...forever."

He lets out another laugh, "I wish we could but I have duties to attend to and so do you."

I nod my head knowing he was right and we head back to the castle.

As I walk through the doors to my chamber I saw Merlin sitting in front of the door.

"Merlin, what in the world are you doing?" I ask.

He raises a eyebrow at me, "What was I doing, well you see I was waiting for my beloved sister who seems to disappear out of no where all the time, so what were you doing?"

I take off my black cloak and set it on a chair, "I was…out." I say hesitantly.

"You know I don't believe that, Bella where were you?" Merlin asks again.

I swirl around from where I was standing to look at my brother, "Why must you know now Merlin, you never wondered before when I was gone for almost three years why now?" I glare at him.

He glares back, "It's my duty to know, I am your brother, your twin."

"Leave it Merlin." I growl at him.

"Fine." He turns around and slams the door as he walks out. Sighing I go and put my cloak away in my bed chambers.

Walking out I see Gaius sitting at the table where Merlin and I were just having a heated discussion.

"You know he is just looking out for you, Bella." Gaius says.

"I know Gaius but he doesn't have to worry about me I have taken care of my self for a very long time." I say to him.

"Yes but that's his instinct, its to take care of you."

I sigh knowing he was right.

I heard clangs from outside walking to the window I see Arthur and his men sparring. I tell Gaius I'm going out to the courtyard and quickly travel through the corridors to the courtyard.

Standing there I watch Arthur block the hits that were coming towards him.

He stops when he sees me then turns to his men, "Rest and then we shall bow." The men bow their heads and walk off talking. Merlin was standing off to the other side of the courtyard watching what was going on around him.

Arthur walks towards me and when he gets to me says, "What did you think?"

"Hmmm…you are a good swordsman." I say.

He nods his head and stops talking when a young boy comes baring a bow and hands it to Arthur. He bows his head scurries away.

Arthur calls his men and they brought out targets to practice.

After awhile it got quite boring just standing here and doing nothing so I call out to Arthur.

"Prince Arthur." I yell to get his attention. Him and his men turns to me. Arthur looks at me in confusion.

"Yes, My l…Miss." He says catching him self.

"May I try?" I ask gesturing towards the finely carved bow.

The knights laugh at me probably thinking I am a weak women.

Arthur nods waving his hand for me to come towards him. Standing next to him, he hands me the bow telling me to hit the middle.

I lift my arms with the bow in hand and pull back the string with the arrow on it. Pulling back my hand I adjust my stance and let go. The arrow flew and hit the center of the target.

Arthur's men stood there gaping at me like they have never seen a arrow hit the center of a target before. I smirk at them who is weak now.

Arthur leans down and whispers in my ear, "You did wonderful my love."

I smile and leave after giving a slight bow.

The next day all I heard about was the tournaments coming up.

"Bella, Bella, are you even listening to me?" asks Gwen.

Getting my head out of the clouds I turn to Gwen, "I'm sorry Gwen I was thinking."

" I see that, what I asked was what should I wear to the tournament?"

We were sitting in my bed chamber talking about the tournament coming up and everyone is to attend. So everyone is to dress in their best attire. Also there is a ball afterwards.

"Well you need something that will sweep my brother off his feet." I tell her smiling.

She blushes looking down, "I have no clothing like that."

I get up and open my cabinet full of dresses.

"Pick one."

She looks at me in shock, "What?"

I smile, "You are about the same size as me pick one I insist."

She smiles and leaves from her spot on my bed to the cabinet shifting through the dresses.

She grabs a blue dress with shiny gold trimming and a shiny gold belt. She holds it up to herself.

"What do you think?" She asks me.

"It's beautiful and I will come and do your hair." I tell her.

After she left Merlin barges in looking unsettled.

"Merlin what is it?"

"There is a boy and he is going to compete in the competition." He tells me.

"Merlin a lot of boys are going to compete."

"No this one he is a warlock and he has used his magic in the first rounds of the competitions."

I sit very still. This is not good, not good at all.

"Describe him to me please?" I ask Merlin.

He describes him brown hair and green eyes. He was short.

"His name is Gilli, I plan on approaching him at where he stays and warn him." Merlin says to me.

I nod to him, "I shall a company you to town but I must be some place else."

We walk in silence to the town and then bid our goodbyes. I head towards the seamstress and sit down with her planning my dress and a surprise dress for Gwen that we would be needing for the next following day. I paid her double to get it done fast and then left.

Following asleep that night I only hoped that Arthur would stay safe.

Waking the next morning I put on a casual dress and head to see if the seamstress was done with Gwen's and my dress.

"As always you have out done your self." I tell her as she packages my dress.

After I went and found Merlin who was fetching water.

"Did you take care of it?" I ask him.

"Yes I have but I still have a spell ready just in case he does not follow through which is a high chance of happening. I also warned Arthur not to do this but he doesn't listen ." He tells me.

I nod and lean up to my brother giving him a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you."

I walk off before he can say a word.

The tournament started a hour later I saw Arthur's tent and snuck in there but not before making sure no one but him was in there.

He seemed to be struggling with his armor so I go help him.

"You need to stay safe out there, make sure to have your guard up." I tell him with tears in my eyes.

He wipes them away with his thumb, "I shall stay safe for you."

I lean up and kiss him never wanting it to end. Pulling away I tell him I love him and then leave to watch from the stands.

All seemed to be going well in the first part of it but then it just went down hill. Gilli whispered something. His eyes glowed gold. He used magic. I look across to Merlin who seems to have seen this as well for he was casting magic as well.

After some more struggling Arthur finally won the tournament. I let out a deep sigh of relief. Arthur looks up from where he stood and smiles to me. I smile back happy that he was safe.

Grabbing Gwen's hand from where she was standing next to me I lead us to my bed chamber and start getting ready for the ball. I help her out of the dress that she picked yesterday to the dress that I had gotten done for her.

"You didn't think that I would let you go to a ball without a ball dress right." I tell her.

She just had tears in her eyes as she changed into the blue dress that had black lace trimming. I did her hair into curls and put it up by a blue and black ribbon.

Then I got changed into a red and black dress. I did my hair also up into curls but put it up by red and black ribbons.

"You ready?" I ask Gwen who looked nervous as hell.

She nods her head and we walk out into the small space where Gaius and Merlin stood. Upon seeing Gwen, Merlin mouth dropped open but he soon composed himself.

We all walked towards the ball room where men and women of all ages gathered. Merlin and Gwen soon went to do their own thing. When I entered the room all went quiet, everyone stopped and stared at me. Arthur who was talking to his father at the time stopped and looked at me as well and I blushed looking towards the ground.

Arthur POV

There she stood in all her beauty.

"Who is that Arthur?" My father questions me.

I turn to him, "She is Bella, Merlin's sister."

"Ah, yes I have heard of her from other kingdoms, many consider her the best swordsman they have ever seen, also I have heard many kings have tried to convince her to marry their sons for she would make a great addition to the family." My father says.

I leave my father to ponder and walk to my love slowly. When I get to her I bow down before her grabbing her and give it a small kiss. I then lead her in a dance.

"You look exquisite my love." I say to her.

"You look not to bad your self." She says. Not being able to resist I look around making sure no one saw, I lean down a place a kiss upon her lips.

King Uther POV

Isabella would make a fine addition to the family. My son needs a queen who can look after herself. She has turned down all their proposals but I do not think she shall turn down mine.

Looking at my son who was dancing with her. He looked like he already was in love with her. Even though it goes against my morals of a commoner marrying someone of noble blood, many have already considered her a noble.

She will make a fine queen for my son.


Hope you enjoyed.
