Anna and Amhar watched their dad made his way towards the men fighting each other. Amhar looked scared as one of the knights fell on his back with the other two pointing their swords at him. "Anna they are not going to kill him right?" Amhar asked his sister who was watching them with interest.

"Oh Amhar you worry too much, they are practicing and training. Not in a real battle," she said turning to look at her brother. "Doesn't that look like so much fun? I want to be a knight when I grow up, just like daddy,"

"You? A knight of Camelot?" said a voice behind Anna and Amhar. They turned around to see two teenage boys leaning against the opposite tree trunk, each holding swords.

"Yes, I will be a knight one day just like daddy," Anna said proudly, standing up and glaring at the two boys.

"Prove it little girl," said the first boy, walking towards her with both swords in his hands. "Like you could even lift the sword," he sneered, setting one of them on the ground next to her and then began to swing around his own.

Anna stepped forward reaching for the sword before a hand stopped her, "Anna lets get out of here, daddy said to stay out of trouble. Plus he looks trained and I can't let you get hurt," Amhar said holding her hand and dragging her away from the boys and closer to the training area where Arthur was.

"Amhar let me go, girls can fight just as well as boys," she said getting out of her brothers grasp. She then turned to the sword and lifted the hilt before stumbling slightly as the boys began to laugh.

"Aw it's too heavy for the little girl," they teased, laughing some more. She then grasped the sword and swung it at them before dropping it on the ground it's weight making her go to her knees.

"How dare you," the boy with the sword said getting angry and swinging his sword toward Anna. Anna closed her eyes and covered her fade before she heard the screaming sound of her brother echo through the forest. She looked up to see him in front of her clutching his arm as a fresh cut appeared.

She then stood up pushing Amhar behind her, "how dare you hurt my brother," she yelled before flinging herself at the boy. They rolled together on the grass fighting and tussling.

"Stop Anna" Amhar said about to throw himself at his sister to rescue her before the other boy grabbed him from behind. "Let me go," Amhar cried tears coming to his cheeks as the boy tightened his grip on Amhar.

"Serves you two right for trying to mess with knights of Camelot," the boy said smiling.

"Your not knights, you are bullies," Amhar said, closing his eyes and hoping that this nightmare would go away.

Suddenly the boy gave a cry of surprise as he released Amhar and flew to the ground holding his bleeding nose. Amhar looked up confused to see his father behind him glaring at the boy. He then turned to Anna and the other boy on the ground, he reached down pulling them apart and throwing the other boy on the ground next to the first one.

Arthur fumed glaring at the two boys on the ground before turning to Anna and Amhar. "Are you alright?" Amhar shook his head holding his arm and Anna stared at the ground, not meeting her fathers eyes. Arthur then bent down pulling them into a hug, and sighing with relief, "thank god your all right."

Anna let out a sob and clung to Arthur wrapping her arms around his neck. Amhar did the same embracing his father and began to feel better. Arthur then hugged them closer to him before standing up and pushing them behind his body, turning to the stricken boys on the ground. But before he could say anything Leon beat him to it, "Dominic, Robert stand up and get over here."

They froze exchanging worried glances before standing up and walked to Leon their heads bowed. "Yes Sir Leon" they mumbled refusing to meet his eyes.

"Boys do you know anything about the knights code-"

"The knights code?," Arthur interrupted Leon, turning to him. "Are they trainees?" He snapped at Leon, as Dominic and Robert looked at Arthur fully for the first time.

"Yes they started yesterday," Leon replied glancing at the boys.

"You aught to be ashamed of yourselves," he snapped taking a step towards them. "The knights code says to act with honor, nobility and respect for yourself and those around you. But do you think that tackling children and holding them against their will is the actions of someone wanting to become a knight?" They were about to replay but Arthur continued, "if I were Leon I would take away your knights privileges and make you work for your spots until you learned some humility."

"What do you know about the knights code, your just a man that just arrived in Camelot, its not like you grew up living it" Dominic snapped back.

Arthur moved, grabbing his shirt and hoisting him up by his clothes, getting in the boys face "you don't know anything boy. I am the knights code, I was born into it, raised with it and I have taught it to many knights for years. It's apart of who I am, I know it like the back of my hand so," Arthur threw the boy back away from him, "get out of my sight if you value your lives because if you ever harm my kids again I will not hesitate to give you a punishment where you will be begging me to kill you. Do we understand each other?"

"y-yes sir," they mumbled before running away back towards the village. Once they were gone Arthur felt the twins at his side clinging to his legs and looking up at him with wide eyes. Arthur then turned and bent down looking at them.

"What happened Amhar?" Arthur asked softly.

"W-we were talking and Anna said that she w-w-wants to be a knight like you one day and then the mean boys said that she couldn't because she was a girl. She then got mad saying she could and the boy made her prove it by giving her a sword and they started to f-f-fight. I tried to stop Anna from getting hurt but then the boy gave me a cut on my arm and Anna got mad and began to wrestle him. I tried to stop them but the other boy h-h-held me back and then you came..." Amhar said, bursting into tears.

Arthur frowned taking his son into his arms and pulled him close. The little boy wrapped his arms around his father, and buried his face into his chest. "There there, Amhar, it's ok. I'm here don't worry your safe," Arthur soothed, rubbing his back. He then looked at his daughter who was staring at her feet, with tears in her eyes. "Anna. Princess, come here," he said moving an arm to pull her into a hug.

"I-I-I am so sorry daddy," she whispered, clinging to him. Arthur sighed holding his child's closer to him. We have not even been here for an hour and already com thing happened, Arthur thought, what have I gotten myself into.

Well, what do you think of this chapter? Was I too harsh on the kids? What's Arthur too harsh on the boys? I really hope this chapter satisfies you! Please read and review! I want to know your thoughts
