A/N:So I kinda decided that I'm going to make Julie's life a bit more interesting in Camelot. Some people might like it, some people might not. But that's alright; all I want is for you to enjoy my story, so I hope you don't mind the OOC feel.

The next day, Arthur and the members of the court were gathered around Sir Leon who reported seeing Cenred's army around Camelot's border.

"We estimate that he will reach the city within two days" Sir Leon reported

"I fear the news about the king's illness might have reached beyond our borders, Cenred might be seizing his opportunity" Gaius implied

"And we must find a way to appease him" Sir Leon agreed

"If I know what my father would do he wouldn't bow to his enemies" the Prince argued

"Forgive me sire, but we are out numbered 2 to 1" the physician implored

"I won't show weakness Gaius! There's only one thing we can do" the young prince contended, "We must prepare the city for siege" he announced sitting on his father's chair addressing his court.

After giving the orders and telling his knights to open the gates for the lower town's people; Arthur made his way to his room to prepare for the battle that is to come. He was sitting by his desk staring out unto the square where he can see his people pouring from the lower towns into the city when a knock came,

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…" Guinevere trailed off looking at the prince

"No, no please come in" He said looking at her with a welcoming smile

Even though the young prince was smiling, Guinevere saw through him, he was worried and knowing him it is not for his safety, it was more for his people and what his father would think of him and his decisions upon his absence.

"You have to have more faith in yourself Arthur, "she said "I believe in you more than anybody else in the world"

Arthur did not say anything; he looked at her and held her hand for what seemed like forever; willing her to read his mind. He had never felt anything like this for a girl before, he wanted to kiss her to reach for her and tell her how he felt but he knew that nothing can ever become of them, his father would never approve of it.

After what seemed like hours, Guinevere broke their silence "I should go sire"

"There's no need to call me that" he said watching her leave

She turned around and said, "There is every need, sire" and with that she curtsied and left the room with Arthur looking longingly at her.

Cenred's army was only a few hours away the next day; everybody was busy preparing for the battle; after talking to Sir Leon, Arthur went to spend time at his father's side; it only seemed lie he was there for a few minutes until Merlin came and fetched him.

"Sire" Merlin addressed the young prince, "it's time"

Arthur looked at the young warlock and nodded, taking a deep breath he stood up and gave his father one last look saying,

"I promise I will not let you down"

Merlin was putting his master's armor on when the prince broke his silence

"It's not like you to be nervous," he told the boy

"I'm not nervous" the boy replied

"No?" the prince asked

"No," he said turning to get the prince's sword on the table "because I trust in your destiny"

At this, the young prince looked at his servant quizzically

"It's your fate to be the greatest king Camelot has ever known;" the boy said handing the prince's sword to him "You're victory today will be remembered by generations"

"There are times Merlin when you speak of some sort of—"the prince trailed, "wisdom" he finished

Merlin looked at him with a smile,

"Well don't look so pleased" Arthur said, "most of the time you're still a complete idiot"

And with that the prince left his room to take his post with his army at his side.

Gaius, Julie and Gwen were all busy turning one of the halls of the castle an infirmary for those wounded in battle. Gwen was busy putting on sheets for the makeshift beds while Gaius was checking if all his medicines and herbs are complete. Julie was running back to their quarters to get more supplies when she ran into Arthur in the hallway; it was their first meeting in months.

"Ow" she cried when she bumped into him—or rather, his armor and he steadied her

"Are you alright?" he asked concern etching his brow

"Sire" she said steadying herself, holding on to his arms

"You know, it would be a shame if we start a war and one of our lead healers is injured" he said amusement in his voice

Julie blushed, she was about to come up with a retort when he asked, "Where are you going?"

"Oh, I have to get more supplies for the infirmary in Gaius storage" she explained still pink

"Well I should let you get to that then" he replied smiling at her

"And I shall let you get to your post, my lord" she replied shyly smiling at him

He smiled back, nodding his agreement but didn't move.

"Uh, Julie?" He uttered

"Yes my lord?" she answered

"Um, I would need my arm to get to my post" he stated looking at her to her hand that was still clutching his arm amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Oh, oh, sorry" she replied her eyes widening as she let go of his arm

"Now, make sure you don't run into any more armor" he said to her smiling as he continued walking but before he turned the corner he saw her blush once more.
