May I present…Drabble number 2! Fortunately this one is just a very short chapter, because it actually has information, so this is more of a plot line transition for Arthur.
*Eats Robin Egg whopper* so I found some more! Want one? *hands pink one over* There are too many pinks, and even more blues!
Anyways, enjoy!
Arthur's Drabble Dilemma
The door to the throne room burst open and in walked an angry Prince Arthur. The King looked up from his conversation with a knight, saw his son, and held up a finger to the knight. He faced his son.
"Arthur, you must have read my mind, I was just about to send for you," Uther exclaimed. Arthur crossed his arms.
"What have you done with Merlin?" he demanded, narrowing his eyes at his father. Uther's mouth tightened into a determined thin line.
"He stepped out of bounds and had inappropriate contact with nobility," Uther announced, crossing his arms in exactly the same fashion as Arthur.
Arthur's mouth dropped open.
"But who would Merlin—?" he began to question but the King held up a hand and looked to the side, gesturing for somebody to walk over. Arthur looked at the newcomer, a beautiful girl with silky brown hair, enchanting brown eyes, and a figure complimented by a slim, blue dress and sparkling jewels. She looked familiar…
"Hang on," he said suddenly, "you're that girl! The one who fainted in the lower town!"
She said nothing, and Arthur noticed that she looked upset.
"This is Lady Natalia Tirst, last of the Tirst family," Uther told Arthur. "She looks just like her mother." He smiled at Natalia, but Arthur wasn't paying attention to that. He had just connected the dots.
"You and Merlin?" he burst out unintentionally, and she blushed scarlet.
"Yes," the King answered for her. "As punishment, your servant is serving a two-week sentence in the dungeon. Until then, find another servant to do your bidding."
Arthur looked back at Natalia, who now looked as if she were going to burst into tears, and he realized that she had never meant to get Merlin in trouble. He nodded his head slightly to her, and then bowed to his father before leaving the room.
So the seeds are sown! This has been bothering me though…is 'dilemma' spelt with 2 m's or an 'm' and an 'n'? Cos I always thought it was 'dilemna,' but Word says "nuh, uh. Learn to spell."
:) Answers in the review, please!
