A/N: Here is Chapter 14. I hope you like it. Please Review! I don't know if you like it, if you don't. I don't own Merlin.

It was the day after the meeting, and I was on my way to Gaius'. Although, I felt happy and comfortable about being queen my feelings about Arthur and his death was still upsetting me. Over the past few months, I had become so obsessed about how I was feeling and what I was feeling that I had forgotten about how the people around me were feeling. Mainly, Percival, Gaius and of course, Leon and I felt awful for being so selfish.

By visiting Gaius, I could help him as I knew he was lonely since Merlin had left and with any luck, it could help me, too.

I was well on my way to Gaius' when I spotted King Ayden coming towards me. After I had realised how close I was to Gaius' chambers, I surmised that King Ayden must have been there!

He seemed to walk to talk to me, as he stopped walking right in front of me.

"My Lady." He said, in greeting. His tone was, as usual, polite but I couldn't help dislike it. Why I did, I couldn't say.

I knew that I had to do more than greet him, as people were starting to notice my cold civility and Camelot didn't need to go war over my rudeness.

"King Ayden…" I nodded my head, in greeting.

Although, King Ayden didn't look unwell or ailing, a spark of hope flickered in me. I don't want to him to be ill so much but rather the thought of him actually leaving Camelot because of it.

I decided I would ask if he was alright, as I was curious and I naively didn't think he would read anything into it.

"Are you alright, King Ayden? You've been to Gaius'?" I asked me, formally. Even though, I was asking if he was well I didn't want my voice to show how I disliked him but rather that I was obligated to do so.

At my question, King Ayden's attention seemed to be caught. He smiled at me, which I couldn't help notice looked more like a grimace. Whether the change in his looks, was due to my dislike and distrust of him, I don't know but the people around didn't notice anything at all.

"I'm not ill, Guinevere." He told me. The use of my name again sparked fury in me, as it was an intimacy which I hadn't allowed nor wanted.

I tried to quell my anger as I knew that if I didn't, I would end up snapping at him. And, the thought of war was still abhorrent to me.

"Why were you at Gaius', then?" I asked him, placidly. I was amazed at how calmly I had asked the question but the alternative of causing war by being rude was a definite deterrent.

At my question, King Ayden immediately began to answer flippantly.

"I was accompanying Sir Leon to Gaius' ", He told him.

Although, the flippantness of his answer annoyed me, the worry which engulfed me when he mentioned Leon's name, made King Ayden seem unimportant.

I hadn't felt as worried in a long time, and I could feel tears fill my eyes and I was vaguely aware that King Ayden was talking to me again. What about, I don't know.

"Are YOU alright, Guinevere? You need a husband, you cannot do this alone." He told me, and my attention was yet again focused upon him. King Ayden's tone was how he normally spoke but the glint in his eyes, made the implication obvious. He wanted to marry me!

Due to not listening before this sentence, I didn't know what he had said before it but I knew that no matter how he had set this up or what he said , it wouldn't of been able to make the disgust and disbelief I was feeling go away.

Although, I agreed with him that I needed a husband, to who that was would definitely be different. My heart screamed Arthur, as if it was trying to remind me who my husband was and who I belonged to.

I suddenly began to feel anger at what he had said, as he had yet again reminded me of the absence which Arthur had left.

"King Ayden, I may be the queen but I DO NOT need a husband. I can run this kingdom and I will do it to the best of my ability." I told him. The tone of my voice sounded harsh but I knew that I needed to be firm.

In my answer, I didn't mention how much I disliked him as I thought that it was slightly unfair.

I desperately wanted to go and see Leon and see if he was alright, and my impatience was growing.

"If you will excuse me! I must be going" I told him, walking past him not waiting for his answer.

As I entered Gaius', my head was full of what King Ayden I said but the minute I saw Gaius fussing for another bandage, my worry took over.

I saw Leon who was sitting on a bed…he was shirtless and he had a gash to his upper arm which was bandaged but there were still drops of blood seeping through.

I couldn't help but look at his chest which seemed to catch the sun coming through the window making it seem to be smooth, even though it was covered in hair, and I felt myself blush.

His chest looked different to Arthurs', and I couldn't help but feel guilty at even looking.

Abruptly, I quickly turned away, and cleared my throat.

The two men obviously hadn't noticed my arrival for that I was glad as it meant they hadn't noticed my staring.

A/N: Here is chapter 14! I hope you enjoyed this. Sorry there's not a lot of Leon..
