King Goddarth and his daughter Leila had come to visit Camelot, leaving Gwen extremely worried. It was clear from Leila's arrival that she had romantic interests in Arthur, and Gwen knew she could never compete with a princess. Arthur had already calmed Gwen's mind and had assured her that he wasn't in any way attracted to her. But even Arthur wasn't prepared for the unexpected kiss that Leila had sprung on him. And even worse, Gwen had seen.

Gwen POV

I wasn't surprised when Arthur summoned me to his chambers. He did it nearly every night, and we would talk and chat and kiss until it was time for me to leave. Occasionally, I did spend the night there.

When I reached Arthur's chambers, the door was slightly ajar, which was most definitely odd. I peered through the opening, and my heart froze. I knew this day would come. The day when Arthur would fall in love with a princess, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. They were kissing. Arthur, my prince, was kissing Princess Leila of Worthingshire.

Arthur caught sight of me looking through the door, and pushed Leila away, but it was too late. The damage was done. No-one could erase what I had just witnessed from my mind. I ran, with tears streaming down my face, hearing Arthur running after me, trying to explain. I knew that I needed to hear this, but I just couldn't take it.

Arthur had assured me so many times that his heart would only ever belong to me. I guess he was mistaken. I believed him. I actually believed that prat of a prince. I was so gullible. Gullible enough to think the Crowned Prince of Camelot loved me, a handmaiden.

I shut the door of my cottage in Arthur's face, and cried myself to sleep.

Will update within the next week. Aiming for three chapters. Next one will be Arthur's POV!
