Chapter 14

She held her head high while Prince Greggory and Rebecca emerged from the woods. His men dismounted from their horses and pointed their swords at them.

“Let them go,” Guinevere said, nodding at Arthur and Lancelot. “You still need to marry me to secure my lands, and I will not marry you if you kill them.” With that, she narrowed her eyes and gripped her sword tighter.

For the first time, the prince looked at her with something akin to lust in his eyes. He kicked his horse, bringing it closer. Glancing at the sword in front of her, he said, “No, Princess. I will kill these two because they dared to even look at what is mine, which is my right, and you will marry me, or watch me take Elizabeth here repeatedly.”

“I would die before I let you touch me,” Elizabeth said between gritted teeth.

“Neither one of you are worthy of him,” Rebecca spat, as she glared at them both.

Without looking away from her, he laughed. “By the time I am done with her, she will be begging you to marry me Princess. Put down your swords and I will kill them quickly. Marry me and I will let Elizabeth go home with her father.”

Guinevere kept her gaze on him, trying to figure out how to get out of this mess and keep them all safe. Before she could make a move, Arthur laughed.

In a flash, Greggory’s expression went from lust filled to pure rage. “Kill those two, now!” he demanded.

One of the guards who had tried to kill Arthur before lunged at her. She raised her sword in defense, while Arthur took on two more guards. In a few swift movements, the guard had knocked her sword from her hands, and then wrapped his arms around her in an unbreakable hold.

She struggled against him and glanced over to find that Elizabeth had been captured by another guard. Out of the corner of her eye, Arthur and Lancelot were still trying to fight off the rest of them. Arthur took a step up onto the rocks and continued to parry the thrust of the guards. In a quick move, Arthur was disarmed, and he fell back against the rocks. She gasped, and then struggled to get away from the guard still holding her.

Guinevere bit her lip to keep from crying out. Arthur rolled away from the guard and scrambled higher up the pile of rocks. The two guards that were attacking him both chuckled. One sauntered around to surround Arthur and limit his options for escape. Lancelot was lying on the ground, a sword at his throat, while all the guards smirked, knowing that they had won.

It was fitting they should end up here. The very spot that the former king had been killed by Morgana’s demon army. His sword somehow had landed in a pile of stones. It was rumored that only the next true king of Camelot could remove it. That somehow, Merlin had put a spell on it before disappearing, back to wherever he’d come from.
