#guinevere of cameliard

[cestacruz]

the queen of camelot is a catgirl ?? oh guinevere, seems like merlin doesnt know how to turn u back, how sad

[gawrkin]

Has anyone else noticed how both the Kingdom of Cameliard and the Lady of the Lake practically have no role or influence in the Fall of Camelot?

*Especially in the earlier French versions - Malory at least mentions Nimue being part of the Arthur rescue crew. This doesn't happen in the original French (Unless its the mysterious woman with Morgan that Griflet doesn't recognize. But Post-Vulgate doesn't mention her, however). But the question is: What was Nimue doing in all that time?

[iinmortales]

' i know you. ' the words had slipped past vera's lips before she could stop them. there was something in the back of her mind. a recognition of him. it might be because she had just worked the longest shift of her life in the ER, but-- no. she knew him. ' how do i know you? were we in school together? ' even as she asked, she knew that it was wrong. but she knew him.

[xjulixred45x]

>3> If it's not too late maybe a fluff scenario of 7DS Arthur and Female Reader (Guinevere no not like the loli one) reunion. They were childhood friends long before Arthur became king and were particularly close but before they had to go their separate ways (Guinevere returning to Cameliard) they made a pinky promise to meet again when they're older. qwq

Awwww that's so cute🥺🥺🥺i miss the sunshine Arthur so Bad 😭😭also DEATH TO THE LOLI!!!

7Ds! Arthur Pedragon x Guinevere! Reader

Genre: Headcanons

Reader: female

Warnings: very slight Angst, Comfort and Much FLUFF. Childhood Friends to Lovers trope, Reader has the characteristics of Guinevere from the myths(screw the Loli).

You come from the kingdom of Carmelide, a generations-long ally of the Pendragon. and by extension, from Camelot.

So it was not unusual for your family to go to said kingdom for political reasons or to try to help in the search for the new king/queen, who should be the one worthy to lift the legendary sword.

but you were a little girl, you didn't really understand those things very well at that age, so they let you wander around the kingdom (with an escort) while the adults did what they had to do.

So, on one of those outings, you ran into Arthur (who was trying not to leave behind the one you assumed was his brother).

When Arthur first saw you, he immediately recognized that you were royalty, so he bowed cheekily and apologized for almost bumping into you. and he asked you directly if you were a princess, because of how pretty you were.

He left you a little off guard, but luckily you were able to come back to your senses when your escorts almost attacked him for thinking he was too close, you told them to leave him alone, that he was a friend.

When your escorts took some distance, you and Arthur ended up spending a good part of the day together, learning more about each other and so on, you discovered that his father was a holy knight, that his brother (Kai) was an idiot (he didn't say it, but because of how he described him you didn't like him) and that he dreamed of becoming a knight himself.

It was nice to be able to be with someone your age without having to constantly worry about etiquette and manners.

So from then on, you and Arthur began to see each other almost every day, at whatever gathering your family had, you would go out and go see him, you would catch up and play normal kid things (Arthur especially liked to play to be "the knight who rescues the beautiful princess")

you two would also go on mini picnics! After playing for a while in the forests of the kingdom, you and Arthur would find some firm and more or less clean place (Arthur always insisted that you not dirty your "expensive" clothes) and eat apples :3

You felt good with Arthur because you could finally be a girl and not just a princess of Carmelide. and Arthur felt good about you because you were sweet and kind despite your seemingly privileged position.

They both complemented each other very well.

Although the more time you spent with Arthur and both of them grew up, the romantic tension increased considerably, but neither of them did anything about it, maybe they were just a little afraid of losing the friendship they had been having.

but then Arthur managed to raise the sword on the stone, being proclaimed the new King.

and it was...a shock, to say the least.

Everything was a set of good and bad news in a short time, which did not help the shock much.

On the one hand you felt that Arthur was getting what he really deserved, to be the leader of the kingdom he loved.

but now that the new King of Camelot was present, Carmelide's advisory services would not be necessary (unless there was a great threat of course), which meant that you would no longer be allowed to go to Camelot alone.

They even told you that it would not be appropriate for you to continue seeing Arthur unless they proposed an alliance through marriage.

which was the straw that broke the camel's back. You felt very bad for days.

but at least thanks to that your family decided and arranged for you and Arthur to have one LAST outing before you had to return permanently to Carmelide.

and if it was, you and Arthur kept it calmer than normal, wanting to enjoy each other's company knowing that it would be a while before you saw each other again.

I don't know they said anything romantic as such, but they did make several things clear, they were going to miss each other, Arthur was going to miss sneaking you out, you were going to miss playing with him and having adventures.

At the end of the outing, you asked him for one last favor.

You made him intertwine his pinky with yours and you promised him that you would see him again when he was King and that he would do the same.

It didn't take long for Arthur to do the same, he promised you that even if he were king, he would do everything possible to see you again.

and with that promise in mind, you returned to Carmelide.

Time passed, and you tried to handle the loneliness as best as possible, training yourself to be the best princess possible for the kingdom. your family was satisfied.

although they were definitely taken by surprise when Henrykson and the demons happened.

Your family was alarmed, the kingdom could be in crisis, they would have to train their sacred knights more harshly and, above all, re-establish relations with Camelot and its current King.

Arthur Pendragon.

were you a little nervous? Yes, but was it completely overshadowed by the excitement of seeing Arthur again? YEAH! You wondered how he scammed now after so much time.

and Arthur was no better.

He knew that the first ally he would have to report everything to would be Carmelide, and by extension you, so he was quite impatient to go in person or for you to go to Camelot.

And to kill time he thought about how you would be or how you would be now, how everything will be in your kingdom, how YOU will be.

And when the day of the reunion arrived, both were filled with feelings.

You were the one who had to go to Camelot, which in itself brought back many pleasant childhood memories that helped you be less nervous.

Not only was he the king you were going to see, he was also a friend (and maybe something else).

and when you arrived before Arthur and they were both in the same place... it was like everything stopped for a moment.

Arthur's mind was like: no thoughts, nothing, just you.

and you were absorbing everything new about this "new Arthur" before you, he looked taller, he was in his king's armor, but he definitely gave off a certain kind aura.

You felt like you could relax with him again.

and it was.

Fortunately, Arthur only became even friendlier over time, more mature, he was still someone sincere with a heart of gold. You were grateful that he still had room to see you as a special friend and not just an alliance partner.

and Arthur was not far behind, he saw that you had become more elegant, finer and straighter, but you still had a friendly character destined for people, someone charming.

The comings and goings to Camelot became a constant in your life again and it was honestly beautiful, you could see the changes that Arthur was making in Camelot and he was very happy to have you back.

He talked a lot about his training for the King, sometimes you even helped him as he was better versed in various things related to regulations and etiquette.

He may even talk to you about the Deadly Sins! I mean, few people don't know who they are, but hearing Arthur talk about them so excitedly is definitely something else.

(if you get to know them, they definitely make the typical lovebird jokes 🤣)

I can see Arthur being more open with his romantic feelings at this point.

Of course, in the time that you weren't together maybe one could say that it was just a childish crush, but now that you are together again, and that he can continue to love and appreciate this mature version of you, he can say that he is in love.

now the nickname "princess" or "lady" can be used both ironically and non-ironically xd simply for Arthur You are a princess :3)

And for your part, you cannot say that it is unilateral either.

Arthur loves you and appreciates you regardless of the title and the label, even now that he is THE KING and he SHOULD care, he doesn't, he only cares about you. You can't help but feel very appreciated by him.

even making your own advances (against what your family would consider "appropriate")

you two spent a good time making up for lost time, catching up with each other and so on, and that tension they used to have when they were younger seemed to resurface.

only this time it seemed like they were more prepared for the possibility of being SOMETHING ELSE.

Who knows, maybe a marriage alliance isn't such a bad idea after all.

At least, not if is with YOU/HIM.

Done! I hope You like it❤️❤️

².

a daughter first, then a princess, always a queen and always condemned. fair guinevere, salt upon their lips, it is dishonor that she brings. why hast thou been so cruel to your good lord father, your benevolent and well-loved king, and the people who worshipped the ground beneath your feet? the misdeeds of one woman echo through generations, told over and over again, numbing lashing tongues with each retelling of her cardinal sins ⸻ they should've tied her to a stake and allowed the flames to have her. what a shame to let the realm crumble beneath the weight of one stray, unfaithful heart. they'll never say how she loved, the knights, and the realm, and all her people. when she sat at the round table, it was not just arthur they had listened to, but her as well. appointed as the fair mother, the fey queen, the good lady judge, it was her they had beseeched for mercy, a fair trial, and last redemption. they never did give her the same in return ⸻ offering instead either a noose or fire. so between her body and camelot ⸻ she chose to see only one in flames. for centuries to come she's reduced only to that ⸻ her body. denuded of her name and her gold, but never her jewels, she shines upon a stage, swathed in silk, camelot's last fallen star.

ᵇᵃˢⁱᶜˢ. once a daughter of king leodegrance, guin at times struggled with the notion of being the queen od camelot and by proximity arthur's wife. as an incredibly politically savvy individual, guinevere had been tasked with running camelot's judicial system, and was also greatly revered by the knights of the round the table. i'd like to believe that she had managed to inspire them in more ways than one, and greatly wished and fought for camelot's prosperity up until a certain point. after all, all rulers are eventually damned no matter how fair and justifiable their actions are. year after year, she had amassed certain dislike from the lesser nobles ( under the influence of mordrer or someone else ) who wished to witness her fall her grace. evidently, they played a role in her affair being exposed.

despite being generous and gracious, especially to those less fortunate, and anyone who had the fortune of running into her, guinevere also had a propensity for splendid selfishness, a selfishness of course that took on the form of desire. upon her affair being discovered, she was condemned to be executed, but since the fall of camelot is yet to be plotted, i'll leave this part ambiguous and note that she did not face her chargers. she was, however, aware of the potential destruction, but did nothing to prevent it.

for the most part, she reverently tries to forget and be oblivious to the past, wanting instead to escape it, even though she wishes she could attone for her sins. nonetheless, ginevra villa or queen guinevere remains a divisive figure in almost every way. to those fond of places such as pudding & pie, she's best known as an entertainer, though just how far that entertainment goes is disputable. in every life, or rather rendition, there are many arms and hands reaching out in reverence, only for different reasons. her performances are known to be extravagant and a show of its own, with additional lights, heady perfume, and gleaming glitter. during every performance, however, ginevra wears crystals about her head arranged in a circle, almost like a diadem, which is a silent nod to the crown she had once worn.

described by some as stubborn and attention-seeking, either out of jealousy, fear or even indifference, those closest to her know that there's something deeper under the vain and glimmering surface, a notion that is starkly confirmed by her willingness to privately play the role of a nurse for anyone who cannot or does not want to seek professional medics. it's an old habit, of course, as once upon a time, she had done the same for her king and realm.

Small Writing: Guinevere

For @gingersnaptaff

Thanks for sending a prompt Sarah!! I hope you like it and the mild arthyuriana at the end.

----

It was a cold day in Cameliard when Arthur came to ask her father for her hand in marriage. The two men did not ask her anything about her feelings, her father was determined to be involved in Arthur’s ambitions, and Arthur wanted King Leodegrance’s oaken table. It’s a massive thing, perfectly rounded with divots cut into the wood to display thirteen wedges where the knights of old would sit. Guinevere cannot remember the last time her father had knights loyal enough that they would share a round table with him. Her now husband had pledged something to her father; she did not know what at the time, but she does now. It seems unjust to practically sell off his daughter for a sliver of power in a heretical faith, he gave her away the same as he did that damn table.

It was a cold day in Camelot when Lancelot du Lac came in through the front gates. He was young then and clad in all white armor; every inch of him was spotless. For a year, he was a loyal knight to her husband; he swore fealty to him, he knelt at his feet, and raised his sword in battle. Then after that, his loyalties began to drift, his eyes wandered, lord or lady, it did not matter. Except then it did matter, for he had fixed his gaze upon her, and she responded in kind, with that she had the undying loyalty of the most skillful knight in the land. Maybe she abused his almost doglike servitude, tasking him with bloody and horrific acts, giving orders in direct contradiction to those of Arthur, just to see what he would do.

Time and time again, he would listen to her and her alone.

It was a cold day in Guinevere’s heart when Arthur looked at her just a bit too closely and suddenly betrothed her knight to a lady from a distant kingdom. He sold off her beloved to this woman, the same way her father sold her to him. She wanted to rage at the idea that Lancelot would have to fulfill his marital obligations and play the part of a good husband. Yet she could not. Instead, she behaved with the utmost bitterness, a frown constantly on her lovely face, a sharp comment on her tongue. When she snapped at Lancelot, he shied away like a beaten dog, she avoided him for a whole moon after that.

It was a cold day in the barren fields surrounding the lower town when Guinevere dashed away from Camelot in the dead of night. Her horse’s breath steamed in the frozen air, a handmaiden, Enid, rode along with her. The pair had journeyed for days on end, crossing the shallow sands to the north, settling themselves amongst the villagers of a town on the coast. Guinevere was working as a seamstress when the first signs of a swell formed.

It was a cold day on Ynys Mon when Melora was born, rosy cheeked with the dark eyes and curls of her father, so unlike Guinevere’s husbands. Enid had handed over the baby without a word, Guinevere has never been more grateful.

So many days were cold and frigid. 

It was a warm day in the midsummer that Guinevere laid in the grass, sunshine beaming down on her, and looked upon the golden woman next to her with a new understanding.

[julix41-blog]

I'm bringing a project that I left half forgotten but now I have many, MANY ideas to work on, Castaspella! A story based heavily on Arthurian legends (like NNT/4KOTA) but with obvious changes and without really being a good source of information. See it as Epic the Musical for Arthurian legends.

Here we have one of the most important characters for this story, the one who literally MARKS the destiny of the plot, the one and only, Guinevere (or Ginny) of Carmelide.

👑Guinevere is currently the Popess of the city of Amesbury, and tries to prevent the kingdom of Cameliard (technically her kingdom on her mother's side) from taking possession of her church, which is one of the few that has not succumbed to the oppressive regime of said country.

👑Ginny was delivered to the Amesbury convent as a one-year-old baby, shortly after the tragic and mysterious destruction of the town of Camelot. Under the supervision of well-known figures (Isolde, for example) she grew up to be someone with a great sense of leadership, whether for a convent, or a country.

👑Ginny has an unusual magical ability. Everything in this world is governed to some extent by the magic you are born with, in Guinevere's case, it was the gift of having premonitions of the future. These visions are quite random, sometimes it is something that will happen soon, other times it takes years, but they are never wrong. Which generated a certain idea that Guinevere had a special connection with God in her younger years.

👑Ginny is someone very refined, strict with others and with herself, precise and somewhat arrogant thanks to the way she was raised. She believes she is always right and is a know-it-all. However, she means well, genuinely wants to make things better for her neighboring kingdoms, and takes her responsibilities VERY seriously.

👑 Luckily, she's not alone in this, as she has a VERY close companion who she's practically grown up with since she was young to restore Camelot and end the conflict: Morderd, the Black Knight.

👑The relationship she has with Morderd is undeniably romantic, even if they can't be something official due to her position as Popess, Ginny makes her deep love for Morderd clear through small gestures, such as wearing the wooden ring he carved for her. They're a very nice relationship and both are Down Bad for each other.

👑One of Ginny's first acts when her title of royalty is recognized, is to form the Order of "The Queen's Knights", which is precisely the group of knights who will have the adventures throughout Castaspella. With a new goal, new queen, and new (and old) knights.

👑While Castaspella is mostly action-based, we'll also see a lot of the political and social moves that are led by Ginny, explaining how the conflict originates, working together with the knights to not generate even more chaos than there already is, etc. Ginny is extremely important because she is the only one with a high level of education, who understands the importance of diplomacy and taking advantage of loopholes to win without the need for blood. She is a clever little girl.

👑Ginny enjoys several high-class hobbies, such as embroidery, reading uncensored books, horseback riding, and most recently, fencing.

👑At present, she is 20 years old, and many people (especially those of the more orthodox church) dislike her, not only because of her gender, but because of her liberal mentality, which generates great discontent from the public, ESPECIALLY from Carmelide. Fortunately, Guinevere always has her Black knight to save the day.

I hope you like it!

___________

traigo un proyecto que deje medio en el olvido pero ahora estoy con muchas, MUCHAS ideas para trabajar, Castaspella! una historia basada fuertemente en las leyendas Arthuricas (como NNT/4KOTA) pero con obvios cambios y sin ser realmente una buena fuente de información. véanlo como Epic the Musical para las leyendas Arthuricas.

acá tenemos a uno de los personajes más importantes para esta historia, la que literalmente MARCA el destino de la trama, la única e inigualable, Ginebra (o Ginny) de Carmelide.

👑Ginebra es en la actualidad la Papisa de la ciudad de Amesbury, y trata de evitar que el reino de Cameliard (técnicamente su reino por lado materno) tome posesión de su iglesia, que es de las pocas que no han sucumbido ante el régimen opresor de dicho país.

👑Ginny fue entregada al convento de Amesbury siendo una bebe de un año, poco después de la trágica y misteriosa destrucción de la ciudad de Camelot. Bajo la supervisión de figuras conocidas (Isolde, por dar un ejemplo) ella creció para ser alguien con un gran sentido de liderazgo, ya sea para un convento, o un país.

👑Ginny tiene una habilidad mágica inusual. Todo en este mundo se rige hasta cierto punto por la magia con la que naces, en el caso de Ginebra, fue el don de tener premoniciones del futuro. Estás visiones son bastantes aleatorias, a veces es algo que ocurrirá pronto, otras veces tardan años, pero nunca se equivocan. Lo cual generó cierta idea de que Ginebra tenía una conexión especial con dios en sus años jóvenes.

👑Ginny es alguien muy refinada, estricta con los demás y consigo misma, precisa y algo arrogante gracias a la manera en la que se crío. Cree que siempre tiene la razón y es una sabelotodo. Sin embargo, tiene buenas intenciones, genuinamente quiere mejorar las cosas para sus reinos vecinos y se toma sus responsabilidades MUY enserio.

👑 Afortunadamente, no está sola para esto, ya que tiene un compañero MUY intimo con el que prácticamente ha crecido desde joven para restaurar Camelot y terminar el conflicto: Morderd, el caballero Negro.

👑La relación que tiene con Morderd es sin lugar a dudas romántica, incluso si no pueden ser algo oficial debido a su posición como Papisa, Ginny deja en claro su profundo amor por Morderd mediante pequeños gestos, como usar el anillo de madera que el tallo para ella. Son una relación muy bonita y ambos están Down Bad por el otro.

👑uno de los primeros actos de Ginny cuando se le reconoce su titulo de realeza, es formar la Orden de "Los caballeros de la Reina", que es justamente el grupo de caballeros que tendrán las aventuras durante todo Castaspella. Con una nueva meta, nueva reina y nuevos (y viejos) caballeros.

👑Si bien Castaspella se basa principalmente en la acción, también veremos muchas de las movidas políticas y sociales que son protagonizadas por Ginny, explicando cómo se origina el conflicto, trabajando juntos a los caballeros para no generar aun más caos del que ya está, etc. Ginny es sumamente importante porque es la única con un nivel de educación alto, que entiende la importancia de la diplomacia y aprovechar los huecos para ganar sin necesidad de sangre. es una chiquilla astuta.

👑Ginny disfruta de varios pasatiempos de clase alta, como bordar, leer libros sin censura, andar a caballo y, más recientemente, esgrima.

👑en la actualidad, su edad es de 20 años, y mucha gente (especialmente los de la iglesia más ortodoxa) le desagradan, no solo por su género, sino por su mentalidad liberal, genera un gran descontento del público, ESPECIALMENTE de Carmelide. Afortunadamente, Ginebra siempre tiene a su caballero para salvar el día.

Ojalá les guste!

freddie stroma, bisexual, demi male + he/they → isn’t that glynn upland? i hear that they're glinda the good witch from the wizard of oz. i hear they’re 38. they seem to be charismatic & sociable, but also performative & superficial. their aesthetics include soft pastels trimmed with gold accents, a wand resembling more of a sceptre, and a bouquet of pink peonies.

daniel sharman, homosexual, cis male + he/him → isn’t that gavin camelyn? i hear that they're guinevere the fair from the arthurian legend. i hear they’re 36. they seem to be graceful & noble, but also aloof & secretive. their aesthetics include flowing tailored garments in deep greens and golds, a silver signet ring bearing the crest of cameliard, the sad sound of the harp.

(Source: Vulgate Cycle - Story of Merlin)

I found more details about Guinevere's own personal group of warriors, one of the most underutilized aspects of Queen Guinevere from the Romances. Up to 400 in number just as the Grail Quest wraps up....

Personally, it's rather frustrating how the plot pretends they don't exist - just like Cameliard - especially during key story arcs, like False Guinevere.

I think the worst is the Poison Apple/Mador arc, where no one comes to Guinevere's defense (not even Gawain, the person who should intimately know Gwen the best and spearheaded the Queen's Knights!), that instead of looking towards her own cadre of knights that she clearly built up and endeared to her - like a skilled and practical noblewoman should - she has to beg Bors to fight in her defense.

[iinmortales]

it had hollowed her out, sending archfedd away. not even sending her away, for guinevere would not have done such a thing to her daughter. but let her leave. she could not say she fully trusted avalon, but she trusted lancelot. if he said that viviane could be trusted, guinevere believed him. so archfedd had gone to train, and now her daughter returned. guinevere was a blur of motion, wrapping her daughter in a tight embrace. ' oh, my dear, i've missed you terribly. '

@eynsavalow guinevere for archfedd

[thenntrewrite]

This is Part II of my list of NNT OCs for the rewrite:

Uther Pendragon: The father of Arthur and the husband of Igraine. He took a liking to Merlin around the time Arthur was born and had her appointed as his personal royal court mage. He also went along with the idea of giving up Arthur as a newborn to Sir Ector if it meant he’d prosper and would be safe. Uther was the King of Camelot until he became unfit when Arthur was sixteen. Since he was the current wielder of Excalibur, out of paranoia of being overthrown, he takes the sword and shoves it into the stone with all of his might, deeming that whoever pulls it out can be the new king (It was also a test for Arthur, who he knew to be old enough). Miraculously, when the sword was out of his possession, he became better. But a promise is a promise. He couldn’t be more proud of his own flesh and blood becoming the new king.

Guinevere Cameliard: The princess of Cameliard, and the daughter of Leodegrance. She's in an arranged marriage with Arthur Pendragon, and a student of magic. She's one of the first students of Aleron, who reluctantly takes the princess in after a few pushes from Arthur and Igraine. 

Leodegrance Cameliard: The father of Guinevere and the King of Cameliard. He's the best friend of Uther Pendragon, and one of his closest allies. He's taken a shine to Arthur and was the one to propose the arranged marriage. 

Ector: Arthur's adoptive father and Kay's biological one. Merlin gave the newborn to Ector, who took him in, not knowing that he was the prince of Camelot, and raised him as his own. He was the boy's personal trainer in swordsmanship. He was also Camelot's commander.

Vlasta: A demon that deflected from the Holy War centuries ago. Once a fierce-some warrior on the battlefield and a remarkable blacksmith, she sticks with Arne and they both decide to run a church and nunnery together. She's the head nun and one of Aleron's teachers. She and Arne eventually marry. Vlasta keeps an armory underneath the church and sharpens blades in her free time to keep herself from going rusty.

Arne: Often referred to as 'Father Arne', he's a demon that deflected from the Holy War and found comfort in a church who worshiped the Goddesses. On a whim, he decides to become a priest and speaks gospel about the Goddesses. He's one of Aleron's teachers, and enjoys drinking all the church's wine. Never drinks on the job, but after in the privacy of his home? It's all fair game.

Malvolia: Once a mage of the Kingdom of Tintagel and teacher of Aleron, after Gorlois died and Aleron abandoned the throne, she took over as ruler. Becoming powerful over time, she plots the downfall of everyone and anyone that was Gorlois' enemy. She considers Aleron an enemy of the nation as well.

Eran amigos de la infancia mucho antes de que Arturo se convirtiera en rey y eran particularmente cercanos, pero antes de que tuvieran que tomar caminos separados (Guinevere regresaba a Cameliard) hicieron una promesa de volver a verse cuando fueran mayores. qwq

Advertencias: muy ligera angustia, comfort y mucha Fluff. Tropo de Amigos de la Infancia a Amantes, Reader tiene las características de Guinevere de los mitos (al diablo con Loli).

Provienes del reino de Carmelide, un aliado de Pendragon durante generaciones y por extensión, de Camelot.

Así que no era raro que tu familia acudiera a dicho reino por motivos políticos o para intentar ayudar en la búsqueda del nuevo rey/reina, quien debería ser el digno de levantar la legendaria espada en la piedra.

pero eras una niña pequeña, realmente no entendías muy bien esas cosas a esa edad, entonces te dejaron vagar por el reino (con una escolta) mientras los adultos hacían lo que tenían que hacer.

Entonces, en una de esas salidas, te topaste con Arthur (que intentaba no dejar atrás al que suponías era su hermano).

Cuando Arthur te vio por primera vez, inmediatamente reconoció que eras de la realeza, por lo que se inclinó descaradamente y se disculpó por casi chocar contigo. y te preguntó directamente si eras princesa, por lo bonita que eras.

Te dejó un poco desprevenida, pero por suerte pudiste volver en sí cuando tus escoltas casi lo atacan por pensar que estaba demasiado cerca, les dijiste que lo dejaran en paz, que era un amigo.

Cuando tus escoltas tomaron cierta distancia, tú y Arthur terminaron pasando buena parte del día juntos, aprendiendo más el uno del otro y demás, descubriste que su padre era un caballero sagrado, que su hermano (Kai) era un idiota ( no lo dijo, pero por cómo lo describió no te gustó) y que él mismo soñaba con convertirse en caballero.

Era agradable poder estar con alguien de tu edad sin tener que preocuparte constantemente por la etiqueta y los modales.

Entonces, a partir de entonces, Arthur y tú comenzasteis a veros casi seguido, en cualquier reunión que tu familia tuviera, salías e ibas a verlo, te ponías al día y jugabas cosas normales de niños (a Arthur le gustaba especialmente jugar para ser "el caballero que rescata a la bella princesa")

¡Ustedes dos también harían mini picnics! Después de jugar un rato en los bosques del reino, Arthur y tú encontrarías algún lugar firme y más o menos limpio (Arthur siempre insistía en que no ensuciaras tu ropa "cara") y comieran manzanas :3

Te sentías bien con Arthur porque por fin podías ser una niña y no sólo una princesa de Carmelide. y Arthur se sentía bien contigo porque eras dulce y amable a pesar de tu posición aparentemente privilegiada.

Ambos se complementaron muy bien.

Aunque mientras más tiempo pasaba con Arthur y ambos crecían, la tensión romántica aumentaba considerablemente, pero ninguno de los dos hizo nada al respecto, tal vez solo tenían un poco de miedo de perder la amistad que venían teniendo.

pero entonces Arturo logró alzar la espada sobre la piedra, siendo proclamado nuevo Rey.

y fue... un shock, por decir lo menos.

Todo fue un conjunto de buenas y malas noticias en poco tiempo, lo que no ayudó mucho al shock.

Por un lado sentías que Arthur estaba consiguiendo lo que realmente merecía: ser el líder del reino que amaba.

pero ahora que el nuevo rey de Camelot estaba presente, los servicios de asesoramiento de Carmelide no serían necesarios (a menos que hubiera una gran amenaza, por supuesto), lo que significaba que ya no se le permitiría ir solo a Camelot.

Incluso te dijeron que no sería apropiado que siguieras viendo a Arthur a menos que te propusieran una alianza a través del matrimonio.

que fue la gota que colmó el vaso. Te sentiste muy mal durante días.

y si así fuera, tú y Arthur lo mantuviste más tranquilo de lo normal, queriendo disfrutar de la compañía del otro sabiendo que pasaría un tiempo antes de que volvieran a verse.

pero al menos gracias a eso tu familia decidió y organizó que tú y Arthur tuvieran una ÚLTIMA salida antes de que tuvieran que regresar permanentemente a Carmelide.

No sé que dijeron nada romántico como tal, pero sí dejaron varias cosas claras, se iban a extrañar, Arthur iba a extrañar sacarte a escondidas, ibas a extrañar jugar con él y tener aventuras.

Al final de la salida le pediste un último favor.

Le hiciste entrelazar su meñique con el tuyo y le prometiste que lo volverías a ver cuando fuera Rey y que él haría lo mismo.

No pasó mucho tiempo para que Arturo hiciera lo mismo, te prometió que aunque fuera rey, haría todo lo posible por volverte a ver.

y con esa promesa en mente, volviste a Carmelide.

Pasó el tiempo e intentaste manejar la soledad lo mejor posible, entrenándote para ser la mejor princesa posible para el reino. Tu familia quedó satisfecha.

aunque definitivamente fueron tomados por sorpresa cuando sucedió lo de Henrykson y los demonios.

Tu familia estaba alarmada, el reino podría estar en crisis, tendrían que entrenar más duramente a sus caballeros sagrados y, sobre todo, restablecer las relaciones con Camelot y su actual Rey.

Arthur Pendragón.

¿Estabas un poco nerviosa? Sí, pero ¿fue completamente eclipsado por la emoción de volver a ver a Arthur? ¡SÍ! Te preguntaste cómo estafaba ahora después de tanto tiempo.

y Arthur no estaba mejor.

él sabía que el primer aliado al que tendría que informarle todo sería Carmelide, y por extensión tú, así que estaba bastante impaciente por ir en persona o que fueras a Camelot.

Y para matar el tiempo pensó en cómo serías ahora, cómo será todo en tu reino, cómo serás TÚ.

Y cuando llegó el día del reencuentro, ambos estaban con las emociones a mil.

Tú fuiste quien tuvo que ir a Camelot, lo que de por sí te trajo muchos recuerdos agradables de la infancia que te ayudaron a estar menos nerviosa.

No sólo era el rey que ibas a ver, sino que también era un amigo (y tal vez algo más).

y cuando llegaste antes que Arthur y ambos estaban en el mismo lugar... fue como si todo se detuviera por un momento.

La mente de Arthur era como: sin pensamientos, nada, solo tú.

y estabas absorbiendo todo lo nuevo sobre este "nuevo Arturo" frente a ti, parecía más alto, llevaba su armadura de rey, pero definitivamente emitía un cierto aura amable.

Sentías que podías relajarte con él nuevamente.

y asi fue.

Afortunadamente, Arthur solo se volvió aún más amigable con el tiempo, más maduro, seguía siendo alguien sincero con un corazón de oro. Estabas agradecido de que él todavía tuviera espacio para verte como un amigo especial y no solo como un socio de alianza.

y Arthur no se quedó atrás, vio que te habías vuelto más elegante, más fina y más recta, pero aún tenías un carácter amigable destinado a la gente, alguien encantadora.

Las idas y venidas a Camelot volvieron a ser una constante en tu vida y sinceramente era hermoso, podías ver los cambios que Arthur estaba haciendo en Camelot y estaba muy feliz de tenerte de regreso.

Habló mucho sobre su entrenamiento para el Rey, a veces incluso lo ayudaste ya que estabas mejor versada en varias cosas relacionadas con las regulaciones y la etiqueta.

¡Quizás incluso el te hable sobre los Pecados Capitales! Quiero decir, pocas personas no saben quiénes son, pero escuchar a Arthur hablar de ellos con tanta emoción es definitivamente otra cosa.

(si los conoces seguro que hacen los típicos chistes de tortolitos 🤣)

Puedo ver a Arthur siendo más abierto con sus sentimientos románticos en este punto.

Por supuesto, en el tiempo que no estuvieron juntos tal vez uno podría decir que fue solo un enamoramiento infantil, pero ahora que están juntos nuevamente y que él puede continuar amando y apreciando esta versión madura de usted, puede decir que está enamorado.

(ahora el apodo "princesa" o "dama" se puede usar tanto irónicamente como no irónicamente xd simplemente para Arthur Eres una princesa :3)

Y por tu parte tampoco puede decir que sea unilateral.

Arthur te ama y te aprecia sin importar el título y la etiqueta, incluso ahora que él es EL REY y DEBE importarle, no le importa, solo se preocupa por ti. No puedes evitar sentirte muy apreciada por él.

incluso hacer tus propios avances (en contra de lo que tu familia consideraría "apropiado")

ustedes dos pasaron un buen rato recuperando el tiempo perdido, poniéndose al día y demás, y esa tensión que solían tener cuando eran más jóvenes pareció resurgir.

sólo que esta vez parecía que estaban más preparados para la posibilidad de ser ALGO MÁS.

Quién sabe, tal vez una alianza matrimonial no sea tan mala idea después de todo.

Al menos, no si es contigo/él.

Do you know if Gwen is ever called Gwen Pendragon in canon? I know for the majority of the show she definitely isn't, and then legendary Guinevere is just Guinevere or Guinevere of Cameliard. I'm trying to find the source for why everyone in fandom calls her that.

hi anon! i appreciate the question, and while i'm not a merlin expert (i only started watching last year so i know nothing about the history of the fandom, and have never even read the legends ┐(´～｀ˇ)┌) i'll try to give you an answer.

i've only watched season 1 so i don't know if she's ever called gwen pendragon in the show, but if there really is no mention of that moniker, i think that we call her that because she was married to arthur? i don't know if taking a husband's last name was common practice during those times (people in the middle ages didn't really have last names, did they?)… plus unlike merlin or morgana, whose names are very distinct and instantly recognizable, gwen has a slightly more common name that is still in use to this day, and she isn't given a last name in the show or the legends so in posts it's easier to pair her first name with arthur's last name (since they were married) to differentiate posts talking about gwen from bbc merlin / guinevere from legend / any other character named gwen / a friend you might have named gwen! it's just easy to recognize, and makes sense in our patriarchal society.

WIP Intro Post

@phoenixfeatherquillwriting asked me about My Lady Guinevere so here goes!

A young girl thrust out of place from humble origins and forced to inherit great responsibilities meets a young man with much the same origins, and she's not impressed with how badly he's done. To be fair to King Arthur, Camelot has been without a king for 10 years before he gets there, and without a queen for sixteen. Cameliard still has King Leodegrance, and the former queen died literally the year Guinevere arrived.

There's no excuse for the state of Camelot. Arthur already won his war, and now he is being courted by every eligible lady in the land. All of whom would be happy to set menus in the kitchen and plan dancing and music for the Great Hall!

But he's a man of war, fighting is what he knows. As the pressure mounts for him to find a wife, he challenges any woman there to pick up a sword, face him, and win if they want to marry him. Kay manages to convince him to soften it to whoever defeats him can name his bride. Not that it helps anyone's chances, only two people have ever beaten Arthur before and he killed both of them in their next fight.

Guinevere especially takes personal offense. A woman's domain is not the sword, and it is a woman's domain exactly that he is struggling to shoulder. She tells him off right there in the Great Hall, but he is a man of honour, and he cannot take back his word. She effectively launches a coup of Camelot to prove her point.

The rest of the book is Arthur low-key regretting making an open faced challenge rather than proposing to Guinevere outright, except for he really really wants to see her unafraid to come at him with a sword. Guinevere meanwhile is fixated on restoring Camelot but she definitely notices and appreciates Arthur's support throughout this process. At the end of it, she has learned to trust Arthur enough to open up about her insanely convoluted backstory, and they face off against a faerie king together and send him away from the mortal realms.

I am mostly finished with this one, just debating between an epilogue or their summer wedding. I might post snippets or ask for beta readers in the next few weeks!
