I'm Back! OK so here we go. I'm sorry for the delay, my life has been really hectic lately

and I had a minor case of writers block. but I'm back now and although chapters

might not be long I will be updating as often as possible, please read and Review.


chapter 3

Arthur's POV

his first impulse was to go to his daughter, but Leon got there first, "let me see the letter."

Arthur was shocked at the tone of his voice but Adalia handed him the letter, she than turned to Gwaine.

"the counsel will want to know about this." Arthur spoke up, "I can tell them," she turned to him and shook her head,

"I think we have to keep you hidden for now...Aunt Morgana has known far to much to be acting on her own."

Leon looked at her, "you think we may have a spy?" she nodded, "and it might be one of the counsel members,

and if it is the moment we tell them about Father then Morgana will know." Gwaine looked confused,

"then how will we get Gwen if the counsel is going to report our plans to Morgana?" Elyan nodded,

then asked "we will be getting you're Mother." Adalia smiled "yes Uncle we will, Father will stay hidden, and we will tell the counsel

that we plan a full frontal assault on Morgana's camp. then Uncle Merlin," (she gave a smile in Merlin's direction)

"and Father will go in the back to get Mother." she turned to Arthur, "if that's all right with you?" Arthur nodded "I think it's fine.

but if you plan to assault the Camp they will know your coming and prepare for it." she nodded, "I'll have Aithusa attack from above and

take out the back line. and I have magic reserves that will allow me to keep Morgana busy." Gaius looked at Adalia. "Princess." his voice had a slight

warning tone to it and she turned to him, they had a silent conversation for a moment and she nodded to him. "I suppose

we'd better tell the counsel our decision. she turned to Arthur, "I'll return in a moment," she got up and left the room.


Leon's POV

the princess was shocked and tired but Leon had watched her grow up and knew her moods

and moves. as she left the room her body language told him she would definitely be asking many

questions about Arthur later when she had him alone. and as he looked at Elyan he knew they would both be

speaking to her about her habits before this attack was over, he also knew that Arthur assumed that Leon would be leading this

attack, and that Adalia would fight with him about this. Leon knew that with Gwen gone it was up to him and Elyan to get Adalia

to even acknowledge her Father. and he did not look forward to the talk they would have about this. he briefly considered letting Elyan

do it but then decided that letting his fellow knight deal with the teenaged princess would be cruel and unusual punishment.

letting the princess at her angriest alone with Elyan would probable be dangerous for Elyan.


Adalia's POV

she had been rude, she knew she'd been rude. yet right now she didn't feel as bad as she probably should.

he had missed her whole life, granted he was dead but still she couldn't just let him into her life, the last time she'd

done that with someone it had taken Four months for the knights and her Mother to pick up the broken pieces of her heart.

and she had almost killed her Mother...hormonal teenaged girls with magic who'd had their heart broken and a worried

mother who got a little to protective was NOT a good mix. the knights had had to restrain her, and it had taken them three

hours to calm her down to a point where she could be reasoned with...the knights had taken time off to go on a "hunting trip" the boy in question

had sent a note apologizing for the lies he had told. the knights delivered the letter themselves and were very proud

of themselves. still, the princess of Camelot did not let people into her heart without an assurance that it was safe.


yes, Adalia has a fragile heart. the knights are like overprotective big brothers.

I think Leon and Elyan will definitely be talking

to their princess in the near future,

Arthur and Adalia will be growing closer as this story continues.

and yes I have decided to add more Arwen.

as always please R&R
