A/N- Hello all, hope wherever you are that it's a good day .
"Your highness peach or cream?"
Gwen blinked at the two swatches of clothe that a lady in waiting was holding. "Um I don't know, peach?" She half asked.
The lady in waiting frowned and shook her head.
"Cream," Gwen tried again.
The lady in waiting smiled and nodded her head. "Good."
Turning Gwen scanned the great hall, servants were bustling about putting up decorations and setting up tables.
Just then another servant tapped her on the shoulder, "um your highness, where should I put this garland?"
Gwen shrugged hopelessly, "I don't know put it wherever you would like."
The servant just blinked at her.
Sighing, Gwen took the garland. "Let's try over here." Just as she was finishing with the garland another servant appeared, expecting another impossible task or hard question Gwen sighed inwardly. But instead he was there to inform her that the peddler had arrived.
Quickly fixing her appearance she met him in her dressing room.
The peddler set out all of his wares , "I have this beautiful dagger," he handed Gwen an expensive looking dagger.
She studied the jewel studded hilt, it was beautifully crafted but it didn't seem to scream, 'perfect gift.' Then she noticed something tucked back behind a jewelry box. Pulling it out she found that it was a beautiful silver frame. The silver wire was entwined in a gorgeous design and within the wire green emeralds sparkled.
"This is beautiful," she breathed.
"Ahh yes a picture frame, perhaps his highness would like a picture of his wife framed by this beautiful piece of work."
A grin broke out on Gwen's face, "oh a portrait now that is a wonderful idea."
The peddler saw a sell and smiled. "Yes a portrait would be a wonderful gift for the king, he would be able to carry a memory of his wife whenever he has to go off to battle. "
Gwen smiled, nodding, "yes I like that I will take the frame, please." She smiled in anticipation, this was going to be the most perfect gift ever.
A/N- well looks like Gwen figured out what she was going to get Arthur, yay! Now Arthur needs to figure out what he is giving Gwen. I will see you tomorrow, till then you know what to do ;).
