Gwen: The Servant Girl

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I am thrilled when Arthur won the tournament, safe. I followed him inside the tent to make sure he was all right. I watched as he looked at the farmer and told him to collect the trophy. "I thought this was going to be your moment of glory?" I cannot express how proud I am of Arthur. He has decided to show humility instead of his pride, and I felt my heart soften as I gazed upon his face. His eyes were glistening and full of love. I think back to our first kiss, reminiscing on how wonderful it was. He has grown so much in the past few days, and I am eager for him to continue to become the man that I know he is inside.

When he is King, he will be one of the best King's Camelot has ever had, and I will be honored to serve him. I am unsure how our relationship will go, all I know is that he is a great man and when he is King, things will be different. Until then, I will serve him as best as I can, after all, he is first and foremost my prince. I get lost in his blue eyes and only look away when Merlin bursts in with Adelena.

Merlin says that there is something that Adelena has to tell Arthur. I glance at the woman, curiosity growing within me. She nervously steps forward and begins to speak. I listen carefully and when she says she is Arthur's sister, I almsot lose my balance. How can this be? I have served in the palace for many years and never once heard anything about Uther having a daughter. If not her her striking appearance to Arthur, I would have believed it to be a lie- a scam of a sort.

I look at Arthur wondering what he is thinking.
