Nimueh was quite astonished and contented by  her experience . She was just crying in joy that she got to meet the high priest and has a blessed destiny ahead.

On top of it, she highly doubted that a small girl has to shoulder a burden of all the kingdom. She was quite laughing that how she will be a companion to Prince when she stays in the court for only sometime.

As she was heading to the castle, she was informed of the visit of a princess from the neighbouring kingdom. She knew there would be a gigantic feast in the castle.

She always had to do extra work to examine the food delicacy and hygiene.

But she loved music and dance. 

As the princess arrived all of the kingdom was exorbitantly mesmerised by her blue eyes,  peach cheeks and fair skin.  Her dress spread an awe in the court. Nobody could trail off their eyes from her beautifully filled bosom.

As she headed to the stage to perform, everyone was waiting eagerly especially Nimueh.  She grabbed a seat to watch the show.

As the princess started singing,  her voice was so peaceful, calm and beautifully delicate at first.

But soon her voice took hold of a new evil and her voice became so high pitched that everyone got fainted but not Nimueh since it was a spell and Nimueh wasn't a slight affected by it. 

As Nimueh was aware of the princess's evil doing, she watched for her blue gleaming eyes. Nimueh with her spell tried to wake everyone and was successful. Soon she saw the princess transforming to an old witch.

Everyone was awake now and the evil witch clasped a knife in her wrinkled and dirty hands to target the Prince.

As soon as Nimueh saw it, she jumped to Prince Merlin and that knife hit the expensive back of the chair. Prince was saved.

Nimueh knew that the witch will try another attempt so with her magic she loosened the ties of the chandelier with her spell and finally the witch received her bane. 

As Nimueh was flushed with the experience. The King was intensely thankful that he commanded her to be prince's protector or mainly as a maid servant. 

She couldn't refuse the orders of the King and agreed while on the other side Prince's plan to show equality between them was all in vain now. 

He screamed"oh father we don't need a maid servant, I don't need a maid servant. I'm perfectly good. "

The King calmly responded, "My orders are my orders son"

As he was eyeing his father in disbelief Nimueh smiled and was just utterly speechless.

As she headed to her chambers. She couldn't ignore the order of the events taking place. 

'am I really destined to rule with Prince Merlin but how will I rule or help him when I'm too crippled in my own existence?'

She thought to herself

The first day of her tasks as a servant came. 

The Prince was showing great remorse for his father's ruthless decision.
"you know Nimueh my father is a great man but with strange decision making habits"

"no.  His not so much of a great man I know but I respect his decisions always your majesty"
She replied while playing with her thumb.

"don't worry Nimueh. I will not burden you a lot with my tasks. You have to again call me your majesty because of the Palace's rules for servants. I just can't say you a servant. My tongue is burning"

Nimueh laughed, "sire you are such a simpleton. I will do your all tasks and that's my duty.  I want to love my duty so please give me all tasks that are rightfully mine to do"

Merlin sighed and told her to help her with his armour.

"I'm so sorry sire, but I'm not yet acquainted with how to help with an armour, can your majesty teach me"
She said in a curtsy.

"OK. Nimueh come here" He grabbed her hand gently to place it where she has to tie it and how to do. While Nimueh watched his face. His skin shining in the sun.

"aye. Sire it's done" she smiled

"but sire that new person for the challenge was unknown and he doesn't reveal his face.  Do you really want to fight him? "
She asked innocently

"yes. Nimueh now it's my duty to become a king one day and I have to struggle all and I love it"
He told in pride

As the competition began princess Morgana had that feeling something bad was to happen and she was constantly sweating, she told Nimueh to take care of any cheating in the fight.

As Nimueh was heading to the sitting place, she saw an armour at the backside of the area and as she tried to grab it their was a black rose rising from it with dust springing from it and she knew it was sorcery.
