A little something about Gwen
Title: Servant to Queen
Characters: Gwen
Paring: N/A
Word Count: 360
Summary: From her humble beginnings to queen of one of the most powerful kingdoms
Maybe the words that she had said to Merlin when he had first arrived were true. Maybe some people are just born to be queen. And maybe it wasn't Morgana as she had always thought. Maybe it was her.
She was glad that she was on her own. That the servants hadn't come back to get her. They would probably tell her off for pacing in her dress because she could rip it but she couldn't sit still. She thought back over her life as she paced the room as she waited for her big day to start.
She was the daughter of a blacksmith. She was a servant. She was Morgana's handmaiden for years. Her hands were coarse due to all the hard work. She had spend whole mornings cleaning clothes and making sure Morgana had everything she needed. She knew what it was like to be at the bottom. She knew what it was like having to live everyday from one to the next. She knew what it was like having to forgo a meal because her father hadn't had the business that he had been expecting.
How could she be the queen? How could she become the person in the role that Morgana was meant to have? How could she handle the pressure of all the decisions that needed to be made?
She couldn't really pinpoint when her relationship with Arthur changed, when she started to see him more than just a friend. But she had and he had too. Her mind raced over the kiss that he had given her when he was staying at hers. It wasn't then but that was where it became the point of no return. She had fallen for him and hard. Merlin had changed Arthur for the better. He wasn't as arrogant as she remembered him being.
Maybe it wasn't a bad thing her becoming queen. She knew what the people thought. Arthur knew what to do in terms of being a royal. They could work it out together. They could do it together. Camelot could be better with them together.
