Disclaimer is in the first chapter. Lets get the story going, shall we?

For the next few days, more and more women of Camelot came and applied for the lessons. After that, the lessons starts. Leon, Percival and Ewan was assigned to give out the lessons to the women. Schedules were given out to the ladies so that they will have equal knowledge and have time to continue with their daily works. Most of the men also joined the lessons, wanting to serve their king and loved ones. Since there were many that applied for the lessons, several other knights were also assigned for the lessons.

As for me, I got an unexpected but thought off teacher. Arthur himself. That day when I first found out, I was kind of happy and nervous at the same time. Who wouldn't if your crush is the one giving you defence lessons. We were at the training fields. Few other lessons have started.

"Arthur? What are you doing here? I thought you would be teaching by now. Don't tell me you're slacking off."

"I am here to teach but not them. I'm here to teach you. Personally."

"WHAT?!"

"Yup. Me... I wanted you to learn the best and who is the best here to teach you?" He looked around him and pointed to himself. "Me. So lets not 'slacking off' shall we?" He walked away from and turn his head.

"Come on. Lets go. We don't have much time and I have to tell you that my method aren't exactly easy." Mischievously he looked at me as he was challenging me. Narrowing my eyes, I held my head high in accepting his challenge.

"I never asked you to go easy on me, Prince Arthur." He grimaced a bit and then he looked at me seriously.

"Very well. Lets begin."

And with that said, I had just doomed myself to a grueling training for 3 months. Now it is the beginning of Autumn, leaves started to falls and most of the lessons were lessened as it is the harvesting time. I loved seeing the seasons changing and I could see the animals preparing for a long winter in 3 months time.

I have to admit that Arthur's method is tough but he is the best fighter in hand in hand combat and weaponry. If I could say what my level is, I would say I'm in par with Sir Leon. Well, I did have a duel with him and it was a draw. Mark my word, I'll beat him one day but for now, I have to focus on my mock duel. With Arthur.

"Come on Kitty Kat, you can do better than that." I went for an attack and he parry with me. I strike him again and he just turn away to my right and smack me with his sword on my butt. It stings a bit. We both strike and block each one of our stroke. When I blocked Arthur's sword, he kept on pressuring me. That's when I tripped him and point my sword to his face.

"Yield." He let go of his sword and held his hand above his head.

"Alright, I yield." Slowly, I move away from him, not letting him from my sight. He got up and sheath his sword.

"You're getting better at this. I bet in no time, you'll beat Leon."

"You think so?"

"I know so." He looked at me and when the sunlight hits his golden hair, it made him glow. My heart fluttered and I felt butterfly in my stomach.

"Like what you see?" Snapping out of my daze, I realized I've been staring at him and he is clearly loving the attention. I could feel my cheeks heated up. I need to throw him off his high horse. Thankfully, I saw Percival behind him, training some of the ladies.

"No, I was actually admiring a certain someone, which is not you." Arthur looked behind him and saw Percival. Turning his face back to me, he looked so annoyed. I laughed at him and walked away, indicating that the lesson is done for today, whether he wants it or not. I went back to my room, clean myself up from the sweats and dirt, dress up and went to the throne room for lunch.

On my way there, I saw some of the ladies are preparing themselves for their work at the wheat and barley field ready to harvest them. I wondered how they do their work. Then it hit me. I could go with them and learn. With that in mind, I walked and greeted them. Upon seeing me, they started to bow. I can never get used to that. As the King's Ward, I was given a title as Lady of the Court. I gestured my hand to stop them from bowing.

"Please, there is no need to bow. We are equal in the eyes of God."

"But to us, you are worthy to be respected for your kindness and bravery, thus we willingly bow to you." Arnis said. She is the first lady that sign up for the lessons. She is also the one that spoke up in the courtyard.

"Thank you, Arnis but I'm here with a request and if you don't mind, that is."

"What is it, My Lady?"

"Katherine or Kat, if you would. I wanted to join you for the harvest."

"Sure, My... Katherine. You can watch us work the fields."

"I mean, I wanted to work the fields with you." Their eyes widen and gasped.

"But My... Katherine. The work is hard. We don't want go trouble you."

"What trouble can it gives me? Besides, I wanted to learn new things and this is one of it. I will not take no for an answer."

"But what about the King? He wouldn't agree."

"Oh leave the King to me. I know how to worm my way out of it." With a smirk, I turn and walk towards the throne room again. Turning my head, I looked at them.

"I'll meet you at the fields." Head full of ways to break it down to Uther, I walked with purpose. Arriving there, I sat and greeted everyone.

"How's the training goes?"

"Very well actually. Arthur is a good teacher." Arthur smirked at me.

"Good? You mean great, right?"

"No. I mean good. Percy is great." He started to stuttered. We laughed at him.

"My archery lessons is going well too. I have to admit it is hard at first but now, I'm enjoying it." Morgana smiled, proud of her own accomplishment.

"So, what are you doing today? Going tobthe town?" Uther asked and eat a piece of beef. Looking at them, I took a derp breath and prayed silently.

"I was going to say that. I was thinking that I might join the farmers today at the fields."

"Oh, wanting to see how they work?"

"More of working with them in the fields." I said it slowly. There was an uncomfortable silence for a minute or two.

"Why would you do that? You are now Lady of the Court. It is so beneath your status to work there."

"But isn't it the duty of a Lady to know her people and kingdom? What better way to be more connected than this? This way, I would know their struggle, how they work, their feelings and thoughts and hope. If we want a happy and peaceful kingdom, then we have the duty to make our people happy. We need to think like them so we know what they need."

Uther sat there with his mind processing what I just said. The others did the same while looking at Uther's reaction.

"You are very wise, Katherine. I can't argue much about it. Very well. You may go. Learn what you can so that this kingdom may prosper more." He smiled softly at me. I thank Uther with a kiss on his cheek. After lunch, I went straight to the fields wearing dress suitable to do work with.

Since that day, I have work with the ladies at the fields for almost a month now. I felt happy to work alongside them. Laughter and chatters filled our days of working.

"Katherine, would you please sing for us? I love your voice since the day you sang in the courtyard." The other ladies immediately agree with Arnis. Unknowingly for me, Arthur and the other knight was on their way back from hunting. They heard the ladies pleas for my singing.

"Alright. Alright." I close my eyes and Arthur's face appeared. One song filled my head and out of my enchanted necklace.

(Listen to Celtic Women – Tir na Nog)

Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna

Come, my love, our worlds will part

The gods will guide us across the dark

Come with me and be mine, my love

Stay and break my heart

From the shores through the ancient mists

You bear the mark of my Elven kiss

Clear the way, I will take you home

To eternal bliss

We started to dance, leaving our works for a while. Arthur and the other knights just sat on their horses, watching us.

Far away from the land you knew

Though it feels like a fairy tale

All of this is true

Run with me, have a look around

We built our life over sacred ground

Come, my love, our worlds may part

We'll be safe and sound

We finished our joyful dance and singing with laughter. We stopped when we heard sound of people clapping their hands.

"As usual, you voice astound me, Katherine." He looked at me with his eyes piercing to my core.

"You know it is rude to eavesdrop and peeping at ladies, don't you? You should be punish."

"Well, if the ladies are as beautiful and wonderful as you, I wouldn't mind to be punish." I had to look away from Arthur's smoldering stares. My body shakes to the core with his stares that pierce to my soul.

"My Lord, I think its better if we move back to the castle now." I heard Sir Leon spoke. I took a chance to look at Arthur and he's still staring at me with a smirk.

"Yes, we should. I'll see you back at the castle later, Katherine." Oh the way he spoke my name, it make my heart jumped. They move away towards the castle. I looked at them go away.

"Oh isn't it just romantic." The voice pulled me away from my daze. I looked at Arnis.

"What?"

"You and Prince Arthur looked like a couple made in heaven. You both looked so good together. I can see he fancies you and you are to him."

"Nonsense. He doesn't fancies me." I looked away and started to work again. The others did the same.

"Oh he does fancies you. I can practically hear a wedding bell rings. You'll be the most beautiful bride ever."

"That's enough. No more words about this. We have work to do." Hearing me said that, they decided not to tease me anymore, for now. I have a feeling they'll keep bugging me about it. We stop all work for today and went back home. I freshen up and walk to the throne room for dinner, when suddenly I was pulled into a dark alcove. It was Arthur. He held me tight in his muscular arms.

"So, were you thinking of me while singing that song?" My heart rate doubled and I know he can feel it as our chest are connected. I looked away and shook my head. He held my chin and made me looked at him. He asked me again, in a lower husky voice. I nodded my head slowly as I felt I can't lie to his face. His eyes darted to my lips and he slowly closing the gaps between our lips. It was inches away when we heard Merlin called Arthur's name.

"We have to go to dinner. They'll be waiting for us."

"No, not without my punishment." I struggle to get out of his hold. He repeated his statement and I kissed his check, surprising him and he loosen his hold on my waist. I got out of his arms and literally ran to the throne room. When we both sat down, the others looked at us confusingly as my face was red and Arthur was grinning like an idiot.

Both of our thought was of one thing.

'I'm falling for her/him'
