Guinevere sat in the carriage, wondering. The trip had been long and arduous and she knew that the arranged meeting with her soon to be husband could not be avoided. This was a prearranged marriage. She had no choice in the matter. She was well aware of whom he was and what he had done as a person and now as King of Camelot.

Her long hair was tied intricately with many pearls and ribbons. Held fast to her bussom, the tortise shell pin secured the lace which was to delicate to sew. Like most girls her age, she swelled over the bodice of her many gowns only to be met with leers and disapproval from other men and women.

The nuns at the rectory bade her goodbye and sent her to her destination with a prayer and a kiss. In her mind she drew pictures of Arthur, standing in his regality at the throne of Camelot, she bedekked in the latest fashions, also there accompanying him.

When they came to a stop, she was jolted from one of the many daydreams she so often longed to fill. She looked out and with a gasp saw she was there. In the castle keep, in his domain, in Camelot.

THe hand opened the door extended to take her own. The voice, deep and hypnotising. When he spoke to her, Guinevere knew that Arthur was truley, her destiny.

Arthur

Arthur stood on top of one of the tower of the Keep. He had to admit to himself that he felt nervous as he paced back and forth.Looking in the distance at the approaching carriage. He was about to meet Guinevere his future Queen for the first time. He heard that she was very beautiful by the people that pre arranged for this marriage.

The castle was decked with the finest banners one has ever seen. the splendor of the castle was unmatched by other castles.

He had waited a long time for this moment. What made him nervous was the fact that she was very young and he was twice her age. He took a deep breath and started down the many steps to go meet the carriage. He got to the courtyard just before the carriage came to a stop.

He opened the door and extended his hand to Guinevere. She took it and stepped down of the carriage. Arthur looked at her beauty and for a moment lost for words. He couldn't help but look at her breasts, as she bent down to get out of the carriage. Her bodice was cut rather low exposing a generous amount of her rosy flesh. "Welcome to Camelot Guinevere. You are honoring me with your presence." He said with smile.

"Come and refresh yourself. You must be very tire after such a long and arduous ride in a carriage."

As customary, she bowed her head in agreement and upon meeting. When she did meet his eyes, she was taken aback. He was tall. Seeming not to loom but to shadow everything around him. His hair was dark as expensive silk with touches, and his eyes a deep sparkling blue. Hi smile was very unarming and warmed her instantly.

She felt her breath go as he kissed her hand, and spoke to her.

"Yuh-yes, my lord, a drink would be wonderful. The ride was long and pressing I must say" she said. Her own voice seemed to drift from her depths and as she spoke, she noticed the intent way he leaned into her to hear it. She blushed again at being so close to him. Her urges seemed to be hampering her good judgement for she wanted to carress his hand longer and feel the roughness of the skin. She wanted to reach up and run her fingers through his hair and touch his face, as if to say are you really real?

She was led by Arthur from the center of the common to the main hall where her ladies in wait met her, fussing about her condition and the condition of her gowns.

"Please, do not fuss over me so. I am fine in just need of something soothing for my throat and a softer place to rest my body" she told them shooing them off when they approached.

Arthur was very much taken by her beauty. Everything he heard about her was true. He let his lips linger a little longer when he kissed her hand. He smiled at her thinking that the kiss was the cause of her blushing. His eyes fell again to her ample breasts as she seeing that the blush went much deeper. He wanted very much to kiss those soft moist lips of her. Wondering if the tasted as delicious as she looked.

Arthur asked about her parents as he they walked inside than led her into the main hall. His servants were milling around preparing everything for the festivity. The ladies in waiting began to gather around her but she wouldn't have none of it.

"Please, do not fuss over me so. I am fine in just need of something soothing for my throat and a softer place to rest my body".
She told them shooing them away. Arthur found that a little amusing that and chuckled softly.

Arthur told the ladies to take Guinevere into the bath room so she could refresh herself first. Arthur kissed her hand once again
then she followed one of the ladies while the rest walked with her.

She felt almost as a school girl when he kissed her hand. She was giddy with excite ment and on taking the lead, she went down the corridoor following the ladies to the chamber room where she could freshen up. Standing in the mirror, she found herself staring back at a stranger.


Not more than three months ago, she was lying in the summer suns, dreaming of her own life in a perfect world. Now, here she stood, on the threshhold of that perfect world and she was scare to death.

She wanted much to make it work. To show them, that she could do this and could stand by him. She wanted more than anything to make it right so she could say I told youso.


When she exited the chamber, she was met ina rush and almost trampled by a very dark haired man who only met her eyes for a second. Yet her own followed him out of site. When she turned back, Arthur was standing three inches from her.

Arthur

Arthur Looked at her with broad smiled on his face. He could feel her blood warning through his veins. She was so beautiful He couldn't wait to have her. She was so close he could smell your scent and took a deep breath.

He extended his arm to her and she placed her hand on his. "You well refreshed and lovely as ever". He said to her as they walked towards the big hall where the festivities were taking place.

All eyes were on her and the murmur that they heard as they entered stopped. He guide her around the long table to their royal chairs, and Arthur bowed his head slightly for her to sit down, than he sat down in his chair next to hers.

"I hope you'll enjoy all the festivities Guinevere even after your long tiring ride." He said and smiled as he put his hand on her knee.
