Match Maker Part 1

                                    

                                          
(Merlin x Arthur)
                          
This chapter isn't much Merthur but it's leading up to it as this is an OC oneshot cause I thought it would be interesting to write.
                          
"Welcome my old friend!" King Uther exclaims as he and my father pat each other's backs in welcome and recognition. I smile fondly at the happiness that is upon my father's face. "It is so good to see you after all these years."
                          
"Same as you," Dad says stepping away and standing next to my mother and wrapping his arm around her waist, kissing my forehead. "King Uther, I would like you to meet my queen, Julia, and my lovely daughter, Serena."
                          
"It is lovely to meet both of you," He nods reverently to both if us which we return. When two boys standing behind him catch my eye. One is quite tall, broad shoulders, golden hair, and bright blue eyes focused on the boy next to him. This boy was shorter, skinnier, a head of black hair, and shining green eyes focused only on the blond as he tries to hold back a smile to something the smaller boy said.
                          
"King Xavier, meet my son, Arthur," Uther announces gesturing back toward the two boys as the blond steps forward before quickly glancing back at the other boy, who is probably his man servant.
                          
I smirk getting an idea knowing that Uther will try to set me up with his son. "No, My Lady," Alice, my maid servant, whispers in my ear making me chuckle but compose myself  as they look at me.
                          
"It's my pleasure to meet you your highness," Arthur says bending forward and kissing my hand as I smirk at him and glance at the boy looking at us with watchful eyes.
                          
"You as well," I respond curtsying in return as he returns to his standing and emotionless position.
                          
"Do you think Al would mind if I played hookie for a little bit," I smirk whispering to Alice as she glances at Prince Arthur. I look back at the knights to see if I can locate my said fiancé. We lock eyes and mine flash gold as I fix his crooked cape smirking as he looks at me confused. We know of Uther's cruel disposition of magic and though we are quite fond of it we can not sever our ties to this kingdom. My mother was born with her magic as was I.
                          
I turn back to see Uther give Arthur a glare to which he nods in return. "Princess Serena, would you do me the honor and join me for a picnic tomorrow evening?" Arthur asks in an emotionless voice as he looks at me as if wishing I would decline.
                          
"No, Uther my daughter-," My father starts but I am quick to cut him off before he can ruin my plan.
                          
"Would love to join you," I finish smirking as a throat is cleared behind us and I have to bit my lip to keeping myself from laughing.
                          
"Very well, you both will leave at noon. Everyone is dismissed," Uther says sitting down once more as he and my father begin to talk once more. Arthur and his man servant head out of the room as my mother grabs my arm and leads me out as Alice follows close behind.
                          
"What are you doing? What about Albus?" My mother asks as if doubting my feelings toward the love of my life. I turn to see two knights behind us, my fiancé and my best friend, Scorpius.
                          
"What are you planning?" Al asks walking up to me and staring straight into my eyes. I smirk up at him and give him a quick kiss on the lips. "You know you're mine and I'm not backing down without a fight."
                          
"You really are silly," I say giggling at him to which he pouts and I kiss his lips again making him smile. "I am yours it's just another match that I am to make."
                          
"Don't you do that enough in our kingdom, sweetheart? Do you really believe you should be medaling in the lives of those here as well? Don't do anything to warrant Uther's anger," My mother sighs looking at me with hidden amusement. "Just be safe, I'm going to return to your father."
                          
"Alright mother, Love you," I say as she's about to re-enter the thrown room.
                          
"Love you too," She responds waving at me before closing the door making me laugh.
                          
"So who is it this time?" Scorpius asks as we walk in the direction of the room I will be staying in, I was informed where it was when I first arrived.
                          
I laugh softly before answering, "The prince." I don't say anymore as I want them to ask first.
                          
"And?" Al asks as it seems as if a weight is off his shoulders, as if he actually believed I was truly going on an outing with the prince because I wanted to.
                          
"His man servant," I say nonchalantly turning away and walking faster than before.
                          
"What!?!" Scorpius and Al almost yell as they catch up to me wide eyes and confused. "Why them?"
                          
"They make a cute couple," I shrug.
                          
"You don't even know them, how can you just assume that they would be good together?" Al asks sighing as we enter into my room, it's large but not quite as big as mine at home.
                          
"It's the way they look at each other, their eyes are quite expressive," I smile softly as I wander around the room examining everything trying to avoid their eyes. "You just have to trust me."
                          
"I do, but should you really mess with the prince? How would their relationship work out? Especially with Uther," Al sighs walking up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.
                          
"And of course I trust you because your the only reason Rosie and I got together. I know you can succeed because I think we were your hardest case," Scorpius chuckles shaking his head as I smirk over at him.
                          
"I'm sure you two would have gotten together, eventually," I chuckle leaning into Al's chest.
                          
"I doubt it, my cousin is as stubborn as a rock," Al say laughing making Scorpius pout but eventually join in with his laughter because he knows it's true.
                          
"How you got Daniel and I together is a mystery? How did you know by the way?" Alice asks blushing with wide curious eyes.
                          
"Eyes truly are the window to the soul," I say in a mature voice making them others laugh as I pout. "Okay okay, both of you out, it is much too late for you two men to be in a lady's chamber."
                          
"What if she's my fiancé?" Al asks smirking at me making me roll my eyes at his childishness.
                          
"Especially if she is your fiancé," I smile up at him and pull him into a kiss before pushing him out of my door.
