Sorry I'm a super late everyone but I was taking the SAT this weekend so everything just got pushed back while I studied. Anyway I don't own Merlin someone does but it's not me!

Esmeralda

"You're doing very well Esmeralda." Gaius said as he watched me make potions. I looked over my shoulder and gave Gaius a grin. "I believe you father will be return soon. If you want you can go see him."

I put down the potion and got up, "Thanks Gaius. I do need to talk with Gwaine." I turned around before I went out, "I'll see you tomorrow." Gaius nodded as he picked the potion on the table and started finishing it.

People turned to look at me as I passed them in the hallway. Over the past week word had gotten around at least to most of the servants that I was Sir Gwaine's daughter. Myra said that they all thought highly of me after the fight in the lower town, and being Gwaine's daughter didn't change that opinion. So I ignored the stares focusing on if I should yell at Gwaine in the middle of the court yard or wait tell we were in private and then yell.

When I reached the court yard most of the knights had left, but Gwaine was still there talking with Percival and Elyan. I walked up behind Gwaine, giving Elyan and Percival a pleasant smile, and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around sharply but when he saw it was me he gave me a big grin.

"Good to see you Es-" I stopped him midsentence by throwing my arms around him. I felt him stiffen under my arms, but after a second he returned the hug. After we separated I gave him a big smile, and then stomped down on his foot. Gwaine yelled jumping on his good foot and looked at me like I just grew another head. "What was that for?" He yelled.

"That was for not telling me I had to go to a feast tomorrow." I said already starting to walk away, "Good to see you Perceval. You too Elyan."

"Hey wait. Wait!" Gwaine yelled after me. I smirked, turning around and raising my eye brows. "I'm sorry I didn't tell I didn't think you would care." I rolled my eyes and started turn around again. Gwaine grabbed my shoulders and turned me around again.

"You should have told me anyway. I should have found out from you not King Arthur." I said walking off towards my chambers, "I'll see you at the feast." I called over my shoulder.

Damn this was short but it was the best spot to cut off until next chapter. So sorry I see about a long chapter next.
