Chapter 16

(Final Chapter)

Disclaimer: - I do not own King Arthur, the characters or the previous events of the movie. I do however own Kaiden, and this new plot… but not King Arthur's characters… if that makes any sense whatsoever… any way most of the credit goes to Jerry Bruckhimer and his fantastic crew, the rest of the credit goes to history

"So how much do you know about Lancelot?" asked Kaiden, pulling on her gown behind the screen. She spoke to Guinevere who she had just finished getting ready for tonight's announcement. They had become fast friends after the little episode on the battle field not three days ago. Truthfully, she was glad for the friendship of another female that she could trust. Males just didn't understand the finer things in life.

Guinevere laughed cheerfully. "Lancelot? Oh I see where this is going. Arthur told me you had eyes for someone else and apparently Lancelot knew who. Oh this is just too fine. He can be so pompous sometimes." she said good-heartedly.

Kaiden blushed profusely, adjusting the strap of her gown. Guinevere sat on Kaiden's bed, giggling like any normal women her age. The warriors inside them both hiding for a moment of pure happiness between friends.

Guinevere flicked a piece of imaginary lint off her green gown and smiled widely at Kaiden who stepped out behind the screen in a dark blue gown. "Are you ready?"

Guinevere nodded. "Sure am."

They both walked into the hall at the same time, Guinevere taking Arthur's offered hand. This left Kaiden to wander the room, looking for anyone familiar. She stopped suddenly however when a delightfully familiar voice breathed in her ear. "Stunning."

Kaiden couldn't help blush a violent red for the second time that night. Slowly she turned around and he smirked playfully, taking her hand he pulled her outside on to the balcony quickly.

As soon as they were outside he gave her a breathtaking kiss before pulling her into his arms. Of course she wanted it to last longer, but his words made up for the loss of his lips. "I've missed you." he whispered, and Kaiden couldn't help the smile that spread across her face.

"I saw you this morning." she said playfully.

Lancelot shrugged half heartedly. "Doesn't matter…" he paused for a moment and pulled away so he could look at her before continuing. "I'm glad you agreed to stay here… in Britannia."

She grinned slightly, watching the depth of his eyes fill with honesty. She didn't know what they had together, judging by what Guinevere told her about him, he wasn't one to show this much emotion to any one, let alone a women. He was open to her, feeling, honest. They had a connection, a beautiful spark that made her feel warm all over. What she felt towards him was unique, she'd never felt like this before. "I'm glad too."

Lancelot grinned, and pulled her into another embrace. It felt right, her in his arms. He could let down the barrier he built up since he was young, he could trust her. The most surprising thing about that realisation was that he wasn't afraid she could see within him. This women felt like the one he could spend the rest of his life with, make a commitment. Maybe not anytime soon… but he could picture his future, and she was certainty in it. His smile grew as he pulled away again and much to Kaiden's delight gave her another passion filled kiss, causing her to feel suddenly very light-headed. She let out a small moan as his his tounge brushed her lips and she opened her mouth a little wider to allow him entrance. 'Yes' she thought. 'I could definably get used to this.'

Arthur took Guinevere's hand and led her to a vacant corner in the room and smiled like a small excited boy. "Look at Tristan." he exclaimed, and Guinevere followed his gaze to the knight, who was trying hard not to watch a young dark haired eastern women as she tickled the neck of her … was that a pet hawk on her shoulder?

Guinevere returned Arthur's smile, happy that Tristan would recover from the episode with Jezebel. She squeezed his hand and he looked down at her, planting a small kiss on her lips. "The night is starting well."

She nodded and replied with a happy tone. "I found whom Kaiden has eyes for." she said with a smile, and continued at Arthur's wondering look. "Lancelot."

Arthur chuckled. "I should have known… so you and Kaiden are friends now?"

Guinevere laughed lightly. "It seems we have more in common than I anticipated. She's quite a talker once you get her going, very easy to get along with."

Arthur raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Good because I believe we will be seeing a lot of her from what Lancelot told me."

Guinevere looked up at him with wide eyes. "What has he told you?"

Arthur rolled his eyes playfully. "Enough." he said nudging her in the side and pointed discretely over to the couple, Lancelot had his hand interlaced with hers and their expressions were of pure contentment. "It's a perfect ending." Guinevere said turning to Arthur with a smile, but he shook his he head and thought for a moment.

"No, it's the perfect beginning." he said, taking her hand and leading her up towards the front of the room. He stood tall, flashing a brilliant set of white teeth. Everyone knew what he was about to say before he said, though they listened anyway and gave a celebrated applause, signalling the beginning of the glorious things to come.

Three marriages were to take place in the next year, two of which history 'accidently' left out. Nevertheless, Arthur's heroics sent Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table in to a legend so unique it was to be told centuries to come. Too bad we were never told the whole story huh?

A/N so that is the end of my lil' story, hope you all enjoyed it. I didn't want Lancelot to like ask Kaiden to marry him or anything because they only like meet a week and a half ago; I thought it may have been a little rushed. But of course they got married in the future as did Tristan and the mysterious Eastern Lady (as implied in the above text). So yes, thanks all for your reviews and support!! Couldn't have done it with out you all! Means a heap!
