Outside the castle inside the theater troops camp:

Aurther exits his tent smiling and glowing with joy as he makes his way over to the other actors who are eating breakfast made by the castle cooks.

"Good morning everyone," Aurther said cheery as he sat down taking a piece of bread, "Lovely morning isn't it."

"What you so happy about lad," an older actor who was eating a piece of chicken asked looking at Aurther.

"What is there not to be happy about," Aurther said taking a bite of his bread, "Nice day, good food, and we have been asked to perform for the whole celebration."

"What's the real reason," a red hair middle aged women at the end of the table asked.

"I think I know," said a young blonde women sitting across from the red head, "It's because Aurther spent the whole night with the Queen."

"Really," asked the older man as he took a drink of beer.

"I saw them dance all night together," said the blonde, "Then he went to her bed chamber."

The old man spat out his drink then started coughing. Aurther quickly stood up, "Nothing happened between the Queen and I. I swear to the Stars above that nothing happened."

"Sadly true," the young girl said disappointed, "But you two have spent the last two parties together when our shows were done."

"I can't deny that fact," Aurther said sitting back down.

"Do you like her Aurther," asked the red head walking over to Aurther.

Aurther smiled as he lifted a mug of water to his lips, "Her beauty matches no other and her spirit demands respect of all those who gaze upon her."

The whole group started smiling and cheering for young Aurther. The old man clapped him on the back, "About time you found a girl you fancy."

"Wait till he asks her father for her," the blonde said.

Aurther moved his cup away from his lips, "I have known her for only two nights."

"True and you only have ten nights left to win her heart."

Aurther put his cup down, the joy he had started to fade away. 'That's right after the celebration she will have all the title of a Queen and I...'

"Hey Aurther chin up," the old man said placing his arm around Aurthers' shoulders, "I remember your father was a knight so you still have a shot with her."

"He was a poor knight will not a cent to his name," Aurther said losing a little joy with each word he spoke, "He had no land when he died leaving me only sword and the lessons he pounded into my head about how to us it. I have nothing to offer her."

Back inside the castle walls:

I walked out to the gardens were father, Bowen, and Abiageal have already started eating breakfast on a table set with fruits, bread, tea, and jam. I skipped over to them a smile glued on my face as servants greeted me smiling back. Some whispered wondering why I was so happy.

"Morning father," I cheered as I came to his side kissing his cheek, "Lovely morning isn't it.''

I then did the same to Bowen and Abiageal before I sat next to her grabbing a slice of bread spreading jam onto it. All three of them looked at me surprised at my cheery, bubblely mood. I just smiled as I ate my breakfast.

"Morning Ava," Bowen was the first to speak, "You seem unusually cheery today."

"What do you mean Bowen," I grinned at him.

"Okay talk," Abiageal said leaning on the table grining at me devishly, "Who is he?"

"Who is who sister," I said as I took a sip of some tea one of the maids brought me, "I don't know what your talking about."

"Spill it I saw you two dancing all night for the past two nights," she said, "So talk."

I just smiled at her as I sipped my tea, "I'm not telling."

"Spill it," she said tackling me to the ground, "Talk or else."

"Or else what," I smiled challaging her.

"Or else this," she then started tickling me. I laughed at she tickled under my arms, "Talk."

"Never," I shouted as I laughed. I curled into a ball as she started tickling my stomach. Bowen then removed my slippers and strated tickling my feet with a leaf.

"Bowen," I shouted at I laughed, "You traitor!"

"Spill it Ava," Bowen grinned evilly as he tickled my feet, "It is the only way to end this."

I laughed harder till tears streamed down my face and I could hardly breath, "Okay his name is Aurther!"

"More," my sister said moving her hand to my skirt, "Or I go for your stomach."

"He's one of the actors from the troop, he played Bowen then King Arthur. Happy?"

She and Bowen stopped letting me get back to my feet. I dusted off my dress then looked at their faces. My sisters face has a big grin on her face she is jumping up down, squealing then wraps her arms around my neck, "My sisters in love!"

"I've only known him for two nights now," I blushed as she hugged me.

"Your in love," she cheered still smiling.

"I hope to meet this Aurther," said Bowen as he sat back down at the table then began to drink his tea, "See if he is as good with a sword in a real fight as he is on the stage."

Father nodded at Bowen's remark smiling slightly, "From what I saw when he carried you to your room he is very modest and respectful young man."

I then started to blush at my fathers words. I could feel my heart quicken, 'Did everyone she him enter my room just to leave me in my bed to sleep soundly and not have anything nasty happen?' Abiageal then placed her hands on either side of my face bring my face to her face.

Looking me dead in the eyes with the most serious look I have ever seen she said, "Girls."

"What?"

"I want nieces. Three girls. And one boy."

I just stood there shocked at what she had just said.

"I wouldn't mind having a few grandchildren,"father said so casually.

"Father," I said shocked blushing furiously.

"You having a baby would be a lovely sight," Bowen said stroking his chin, "A new generation for the Old Code would be a nice touch."

My whole face was burning red now. I moved away from my sister looking at Bowen biting my lip till I shouted pointing at him, "If I do marry Aurther and have children you have to marry Kara and give her two sons!"

Bowen face blushed, "Why...what?"

"You heard me," I shouted back, "If I marry Aurther you have to marry Kara!"

"You can't be serious," he shouted back still blushing.

"I am serious!"

"How do you know she will except the ring from an old knight and become my lady?"

"Do you want her?"

"I..."

"Do you want her as your wife? Through all the Hell you both have you been through you two piece each other back together. So I ask again, do you love her enough to make her your wife?"

"Of course I would!"

We all were silent till a loud crash from behind me snapped us out of it. My sister and I spun around to see Kara standing at the entrance of the garden, a broken bowel of berries is at her feet, shock on her face, and a blush slowly growing on her face. We all stood there frozen in place. Even the servant were frozen, some even started slowly backing away, two turned and quickly walked out of the garden. Brother Gilbert than walked in from a West entrance of the garden completely ignorant to what had just been said. He stopped halfway to the table, looked at our faces then said, "Did I miss something important?"

"NothingIhavetogoloveyoubye,"I said then raced out of the garden. I ran past the stables, till I ran out of the gates then leaned against the gates panting as my heart raced in my chest. Why was I running anyway, I have faced men wanting to kill me on more than one occation so why was I afraid of my own heart. I then started to laugh as I slowly fell to the ground clenching my chest. I looked up to the blue sky full of a gentle warmth growing through my chest and a nervous feeling in my stomach. I blew a small flame that took the shape of a heart.

"I guess I really am in love," I smiled at I watched the heart blow away with the wind.

"Have you found a noble man to your likeing my lady," a male voice came from behind me. I looked up to see the treasure standing over me.

"If you must know I have found a man to my liking," I said my good mood slowly fading away.

"Is he of noble class," he asked with an evil smile that made me want to punch him in the face.

"Does it really matter who I choose to wed," I said standing up.

"Well as Queen you are only able to marry a man of noble birth then provied a son to be king."

"And what if I want to marry a poor farmer and give birth to a daughter."

"Then your sisters son will be king," he replied back.

"She won't have any children," I said walking past him.

"Why do you say that my Queen," he asked walking behind me as we walked past the gates.

"She has no interested in men my dear sir," I said as we walked past my sister who was now flirting with two maids with Bowen standing behind her with a look of pride on his face. The two girls were blushing as she flirted with them when they started giggling Abiageal looked back to Bowen who gave her a thumbs up at her. I looked back at the treasurer who had stopped in his tracks his jaw on the floor. I smiled walking to him.

"You see," I said closing his jaw, "This is a new era my good sir. The Era of Dragonscale. The old kings ways are dead. It's the new Queens ways now."

"The people won't allow this," he said his voice full of anger.

"I think they will," I said walking away, and to prove my point two men from the village walked past my sister and gave her thumbs up as well as she flirted with the two girls. 'For a twelve year she was good.' The treasure just stood there as I walked back into the castle to prepare for the fourth night of the festival.
