-Now-
"Arthur?" Amelia entered his room, ending his train of thought. "I was just about to leave, and... well... I-"
"Come on, spit it out" Arthur laughed.
"Well, I should be back in two weeks or at least in time for your coming of age ceremony, but if I'm not, I want you to read this. But only if I'm not back for your coming of age ceremony. Promise you won't read it until then?" She spoke fast, hardly taking any breathes.
"You speak as if you won't return."
"I will try to but if I don't-"
"I won't read it until then, I promise" Arthur interrupted her.
"Thank you" She smiled and started heading for the door. "And be nice to your servant," she sighed, before leaving.
Let's just say he ignored that last bit. It was the next day he met Merlin.
-One Week Later-
Amelia returned late one week later. She made her way to Gaius' chamber, careful not to be seen. Open reaching the door, she knocked. One. Two. Three times before walking in.
"Gaius!" She smiled as she walked in.
"Amelia. We weren't expecting you for another week." Gaius said.
"Yeah, well, you know me. Couldn't stay away from Camelot for too long." She joked.
"What happened?" Gaius questioned, motioning for her to sit.
"I was- attacked, and-" she set her arm on the table to show a stained cloth clumsily wrapped around a large gash. Gaius inspected the wound.
"You are lucky it isn't deep enough to kill you." Gaius stated as he cleaned it up. "Does anyone else know of your return?"
"No, it's an unwanted surprise." She smiled.
-Time Skip-
Amelia heard Arthur walking toward his room and quickly hid. She heard the door opening and two sets of footstep. The second belonging to a servant she guessed. She waited for Arthur to step slightly in front of where she was. As soon as he did, she moved to she was visible to him, but not standing out. It was silent, now was the perfect time.
"Did ya miss me?" she questioned. Arthur grabbed his sword from the table and pointed it at her as a reflex. She smiled once he saw it was her.
"I was hoping you wouldn't return." He said as he set the sword back on the table.
She pretended to be offended. "Mean." She teased, before noticing Merlin. "Hi! You must be Arthur's newest servant, I bet he's told you nothing about me." She smiled.
Merlin looked a but surprised at the change of subject, but quickly caught up.
"No, he hasn't." He said.
"My name's Amelia. I'll be the one who tells you not to do whatever he tells you to do." She extended her hand to shake with Merlin.
"No need for that, he already doesn't" Arthur interrupted. "He's probably the worst servant in the world.
