The next day, Amelia spent most of her time wandering the castle. Whether it was helping servants, helping Giaus, reading the library, or annoying Arthur. She made sure to stay constantly busy. When she finally ran out of things to do, she went to Arthur's quarters. However, instead of finding Arthur, she found only Merlin, polishing armor.

"Merlin." She smiled, and walked over to him. "Do you know where Arthur is?"

"He called the knights for some sort of meeting" Merlin responded.

'Boring' Amelia thought "Do you need help?" She sat next to him and picked up a spare cloth.

"No My Lady, I can do it" He said quickly.

"Amelia," she corrected "not 'My Lady', and honestly, you look tired out." She smiled encouragingly. He, reluctantly, let her help.

-Time Skip-

Merlin and Amelia had finished the last of his chores and had begun talking when Arthur came in.

"Oh no, she's befriended another one," was the first thing out of Arthur's mouth when he saw them. "Don't do this one's chores this time."

"What if I do? Will you stop giving them so much work" She asked

"Of course not" He responded cheekily. "What did you come here for?"

"Come to think of it, I forgot." She said, getting up. After a quick goodbye, she headed to her quarters.

-Time Skip-

"Morgana" She pleaded, walking after her. Their footsteps seemed exceedingly loud in the empty hallway.

"I can't believe you would betray m- betray the kingdom" Morgana said, not turning around.

"Just hear me out, please, I-" She was cut off by the guards opening the door to the throne room. Inside Uther and Arthur stopped talking and turned towards them.

"Morgana. Amelia. What is it?" Uther asked, curious as to why they were interrupted.

"Amelia has been practicing magic under our very noses, she has deceived and betrayed all of us." Morgana stated.

"Is this true?" Uther turned to Amelia.

"I didn't mean to, I- I can't control it, I would never mean any harm, I-" she stopped, tears streaming down her face.

"Take her to the dungeons, and have them set to pyre. Execution is set to tomorrow." Uther ordered one of the gaurds.

"No- no please, I'm sorry, just- please"

"Silence, you have admitted to use of magic, you know very well that it is an act of treason, I can only wonder what happened that you would resort to such evil."

Amelia woke with a start, as someone walked through the door.

"Who-who's there?" She called into the darkness.

"My Lady, it's me, I heard you yelling, I thought I would come see what was wrong" She heard the familiar voice of her servant.

"I'm fine, it was just a bad dream, thank you" She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep again, though doubted she could.
