You stormed into your best friend's chambers.
You were a princess from another land, next to this kingdom, so you often visited.
Morgana was your best friend.
You had also become close to her handmaiden, Guinevere.
"The nerve!" you growled.
"What's the matter, Y/N?" Morgana asked.
Guinevere sat next to you, checking your forehead.
"I offered Arthur help with his training. And you know what he told me? Noble women are only good for looking pretty and uniting kingdoms," you fumed.
Both women gasped.
"We have to teach him a lesson," Morgana said.
"I know," you sighed, "But how."
"I think I know," Gwen volunteered.
"What's your idea?" you asked.
"Well, we're going to need Merlin's help," she said, "But I've got that covered, so here it goes..."
The next day, Arthur was in the arena.
He was cockily sword fighting knightly volunteers.
Of course, he had been winning.
You couldn't wait to knock him off his high horse.
Here you were, disguised as a knight from your kingdom.
"Anyone else care to try?" Arthur smirked.
You merely raised a hand and he chuckled, nodding for you to come forward.
You stepped into the arena and a crowd gathered.
You both raised your swords and bowed.
The fight began.
You slashed and deflected.
You went back and forth.
Back home, all royal had to be trained from childhood.
You were the best sword fighter in your kingdom.
Of course, everyone but Arthur knew that.
You beat Arthur in a matter of minutes.
He was sweating and heaving.
You grinned inside the helmet, barely out of breath.
You both sheathed your swords.
"You fight very well," Arthur nodded, "Do i get to know the name of my sparring partner?"
You took off the helmet.
"Princess Y/N Y/L/N of [Insert Kingdom here]," you told him.
His jaw dropped.
"But... your... how?" he sputtered.
"Sire, Princess Y/N is the best sword fighter in her kingdom," Merlin informed him, in on the plan.
"You. You cheated," Arthur said.
"You insulted me," you responded.
He stared at you as you walked away with Guinevere and Morgana.
Arthur turned to Merlin.
"Oh, I am marrying her."
