A/N- friends, authors, readers….HOW IS YOU?

Gwen was starting to get stiff from sitting still for so long, "can I relax yet?" she asked through her teeth.

Mason glanced up from his canvas, "hm, oh yes your highness you can relax a bit."

Letting out a breath Gwen relaxed her smile and her shoulders droop. "Can I look at it yet?"

"Not yet," he said not taking his eyes of the canvas.

Sighing, Gwen glanced at Milena. "Are you sure Mason can do this?" she whispered.

Milena nodded enthusiastically, "he's the best I promise you are going to love it!"

Gwen glanced over at Mason, who was now making great sweeps with the paint on the canvas. She strongly hoped that she wasn't just saying that because he was her cousin.

Just then a servant came bursting in, "my lady." He stopped when he saw the painting, his eyes grew wide but he quickly averted them and turned back to the queen. "Some of your guests have arrived, the king is asking that you come to great them."

Gwen frowned, "well I'm a bit busy at the moment."

Mason glanced up, "oh you can go, I have the basic form." He said waving a hand over the canvas, he grinned. "The rest I can figure out."

"Right," standing she followed the servant to the throne room.

When she entered the throne room almost the whole court had gathered.

"There you are," Arthur exclaimed giving her a kiss. "I haven't seen you all day, where have you been?"

"Sorry dear, I've been a little, uh tied up with preparing for the ball." She gave him another kiss, "I missed you too." Turning to sit down on the throne next to her husband she asked," so who has arrived?"

"Queen Amber," he replied.

"Oh yes I remember her from her last visit," she grinned. "If I remember correctly she gave you a run for your money." She giggled.

Arthur frowned, "no she didn't."

She glanced at him sideways, "right."
