Disclaimer: Same things. I noticed that I wanted to show more of Christina's good side, so I added some more. Um. History is slightly altered here. It's actually pretty long! Oh, and since I still can't decide who I want her to be with, I have Lancelot in this chapter, Arthur in the next. Then when the time comes, have the readers decide :)

Chapter 3

Ugh. How hard is this dress to put on? I guess I gained a few pounds. Ok, fine, at least four million pounds in less than two months, but I didn't put that into the survey I filled out, or my health exam for that matter.

"Oh! There's a zipper!" I shout out loud in amassment and of course gladness, and quickly put on the dress. Thank gosh, or else I might've been forced to go on a diet of some sort. But, how in the world did he figure out my dress size? Before I answered myself, once again, Eliza walks into the room.

"Miss, you look stunning! Where on earth did you get such a gorgeous gown?" asked Eliza in awe.

"Um, it's a long story, but do you think you can help me pick some jewelry to go with this?"

"Why of course, your highness! It would be such an honor!" she answers, already beginning to go through the priceless jewelry inside the cabinet. Almost immediately she stopped as if she noticed something that she had done wrong.

Immediately she dropped down onto the ground, with her head bend, facing the ground.

"Your highness! Please forgive me for my act just now! I looked into your cabinet without your permission. Punish me for my foolish act that you see best."

Shock I answer, "What made you think I would punish you? I would never do that!" I grab her hand, and took her towards the cabinet of jewelry, that is definitely not mine. Wait! They are mine, at least for now. How cool is that?

Looking at Eliza's face, I noticed the paleness of her color, and exactly how terrified she was, so I said, "Eliza, never fear for your life here, for that you are equal in my mind, so everything mine shall be yours as well. Just don't take anything if wandering eyes are near. Now, let's pick out what I should wear with my dress. After this, I have a little surprise for you!"

40 minutes later

I found a darling necklace the color of snow, encoded with diamonds. For a ring Eliza and I chose a light whitish ring with a golden circle around the center, so it matches the diamonds. In order to complete the picture, I had put on the crown, a very symbol of the princess. Ah. Now it's time for the little surprise I planned for Eliza.

"Eliza, can you come here please? Thank you. Look into the closet and….pick out the gown you want! Anyone you want, just take it out. Think of it as a gift from me to you!"

"Miss! I can't possibly take one of your gowns!"

"YES, you can, so take it!"

Before she responded, I took out the prettiest of all the dresses and handed it to her. Just by the look in her eyes, I knew she loved it. And so I handed it to her.

"Take it as a token of my---"

"Your highness, King Arthur and his men are fast approaching. His majesty is calling for you, he's by the main door," said a short and rather pudgy man. Reminds me of the Opalumpas in the Chocolate Factory, so of course I break out laughing.

The man thinks I'm crazy, I can tell by his look .Now where is that darn main door?

Sir Lancelot's POV

I really don't understand why Arthur had to take me along with him to meet this "darling princess" as Merlin calls her. Maybe, just maybe, I can escape this somehow.

"Hey Arthur, how long till we reach the destination?"

"Not that long actually. About an hour, why?"

"Oh nothing, just wondering."

Hmm. I really can't imagine how beautiful this princess is, since she has our king riding towards her, instead of her coming to one of his balls. Different from the other girls. Ah. Time for a little mischief from good old Lancelot, after all, who knows what the princess is like? She just might be a vain, deadly, and evil witch, or she may just be the stupidest girl in all the land. I'll be doing Arthur a favor.

"Your majesty, may I have your permission to ride ahead as a scout?"

"Didn't I tell you not to call me "your majesty"? Umm. Sure why not? I'm sure there are only good things coming out of you being a scout. Go ahead."

As I rode ahead, I looked to my left, and saw a girl about the age of 10, crying next to the street, so I immediately stopped to see what I can do. I AM a knight for King Arthur after all.

"Little maiden, why are you crying so?"

"I-ost-my—ll"

"Um. Can you say that again?"

"I LOST MY DOOOOLLL!" the girl cried out.

"Well, I'd be happy to help you look for it, but I need to go meet the princess, can you help me?"

She nodded, so I continued," Well, it seems to me that I lost count of time, can you tell me how long it'll take to reach the palace?"

"I don't know, but I can take you there if my mommy says yes, she works in the big palace," the little girl replied back proudly.

I nod, since I really don't want to hurt her feelings by saying no, after all what harm can there be if she came with me? The little girl is running to her mommy, and so I follow.

"MOMMY, can I go to the palace with this big boy?" the girl asks her young mother. By young, I mean young. Like 16 something young. Not the prettiest, but definitely interesting.

"Well, Canaesa, who is this "big boy"?" she asks kneeing down to talk her daughter. Apparently, little Canaesa chooses to point instead of talk, so I now find myself pointed at. Her mom looks up, and starts laughing over the fact that her daughter called a KNIGHT over twenty years of age, well, a big boy.

"I'm sorry, but my daughter doesn't know the difference between knight and boy yet. It is you that she wants to go to the palace with I presume?'

"Yes, I asked her to tell me how long it'll take to get to the palace, and she offered to go with her. A guide is definitely welcomed."

"Well, only if it's ok with you, I guess she can go."

Coming out of the little girl, there was suddenly a big YAH! So I smiled, and like her mother had done before, kneeled down.

"Well Canaesa, ready to go?"

"YUP"

As we set out, ready to go to the palace, I had no idea what the Princess was planning to do.

Christina's POV: 20 minutes before [about the same time that Lancelot met Canaesa

"Hello, Guin, dear."

"Father."

After about ten minutes looking for that freaking door, I found it, along with the king.

"Well dear, as you know, we are fast approaching your birthday; you shall be at the age of eighteen, perfect age to be wed. After looking through suitor after suitor, I decided on, as you should know by now, King Arthur---"

He never got to finish his sentence, since at that time; I dashed through the door, and out. No way am I getting married, I'm only eighteen! I still want to live my life not as a wife to some arrogant king! Oh my gosh, what if he has a string of mistresses, like King Henry, he is his descendant after all! What if he's a woman beater? I can't do this!

Sir Lancelot's POV

Suddenly, as Canaesa and I was about to enter the palace, a woman ran by us, mumbling things that I couldn't understand. What I didn't get at all was why there were guards chasing after her. Maybe she's a thief! Looking down at Canaesa, I tell her that I have some thing to do, and to stay here until I come back. I quickly run to catch the thief. I'm a knight, so I had no trouble catching her, but the thing is: I sort of tackled her, so for a moment, she and I just sort of rolled down the street. Because I was on top of her, I noticed for the first time, her eyes. Sparkling blue and green, beautiful if not enchanting. When we came to a stop, I was about to ask for her name, when I heard the weirdest thing of all. "STEP AWAY FROM THE PRINCESS!"

Cliffhanger :)
Update coming soon! (Since I already finished writing it!)
