He first saw her

When he first saw her, he was in the middle of crowd in normal people's clothes. He was in Georgia to attend the spring festival, which was the grandest festival to be celebrated in their place.

As his new alliance with country, Kind Edward invited him to see the festival once.

When he was there in normal clothes, he was just standing by a store and saw people gathering to see the royal rally.

In the Royal rally, the King made his special to interact with the citizens along with his family. Followed by the King, in the carriage the Queen, Crowned Prince, Second Prince and his daughter Princess Ariel.

Arthur's eyes fell on Princess Ariel's palanquin, her palanquin was beautiful decorated with soft white curtains and beautiful flowers, it looked simple yet elegant.

As the wind started blowing, he could see some part of her face through curtains, her eyes looking like a jewel, her lips.

He felt the need to see her.

He could hear the people gossiping about Princess Ariel.

"Have you seen her...."

"Yes..... she looks like angle...."

"I have heard...... she is the most beautiful among the others sisters she had....."

"At last she is Queen Rose's daughter....."

"God.... Her Eyes..... I can die to see those..... "

Arthur was listening to the rumour when, a little girl jumped out of the crowd and fall infront of the palanquin.

Guard stopped moving, and the princess came out.

Princess Ariel was wearing a beautiful pink full sleeves gown, the sleeves attached with both her middle finger and a stone on the top looking like a ring.

She was only carrying a beautiful diamond necklace with a matching pair of earrings. Her hairs beautiful styled with flower making her look like an angel.

She got near the girl and helped her up.

Though Arthur couldn't hear her, he could see her innocent eyes filled with blue and violet drops. Her small nose fitted perfectly between her rosy red lips and her eyes.

He felt like he was watching at a woman for the first time, no matter what his eyes were glued on her.

A stroke of wind passed by them, and their eyes met, when she was getting back in her palanquin.

He felt something, something electric making him feel his heart beats.

His eyes were stuck at palanquin, till they disappeared from the road.

When King Edward proposed him to marry his daughter, Arthur didn't hesitated and agreed on the condition that the marriage will happen the very next day of the festival.

He was looked at the girl infront of him, who already fell asleep in his arms her head resting on his chest.

In the guest room,

Ariel opened her eyes, she could see a white roof. She looked around and found herself in a room. Looking down, she was covered with his jacket.

She was about to got up from the bed, she heard the door of the bathroom opened. Arthur came out in towel wrapped around his waist, water droplets sticking on his bare body.

As he walked to her, she could only admire his well built abs, muscles but her heart ached to see those scars on his body.

Ariel didn't knew any men rather than her father and her brothers, even then she didn't saw them like this. It was something she didn't knew about.

Ariel saw his face for the first time as her eyes traveled to his face. She could see his fine facial cuts, his thin sexy lips, sharp long nose and his dark night like eyes. His not so long hair were damped in water.

Once her eyes met with his, the scenerio of him killing the man came infront of her, she immediately looked down.

She just wanted to run away for that moment, even if he was her husband she was scared to forget that.

Suddenly she felt a piece of cloth on her head, and the bed sinking as he sat beside her.

She removed the cloth from her head partially and heard his deep voice "Rub my hairs.... "

Ariel made a sound "uh.."

Arthur looked at sideways and said "My hairs..."

Ariel nodded and slowly got on her knees. She stood behind him, and moved hands forward to rub his head, but her hands were trembling.

Slowly she reached out his hairs and started rubbing it gently.

Arthur could feel she was still scared of him. Somehow it irritated him, till now he wanted everyone to fear him, he was know as ruthless warrior.

But her reluctance was making him annoyed, at starting she was nervous around him and now she was even scared to look at him.

He did noticed her looking at him, as if she is seeing a man for the first, but her expression changed once their eyes met.

While rubbing his head, he could felt her fingers trembling and the force she was using won't even hurt a feather.

His hands approached her wrist, as he asked her "Are you scared of me?"

He made her stand infront her, he was still holding her hands. He looked at her face, her eyes were looking down at her feet.

He placed his index under her chin and lifted her face up. Seeing her eyelids were still down, he commanded her "Look at me...."

She slowly lifted her eyes which were already filled with water. He pulled her closer to him.

Arthur asked her again "Why are you scared of me?...."

She tried to speak, but nothing came out.

His frustration exerted force on her wrist, and she hissed in pain.

He said coldly "Speak...."

She flinched on his words, and the tears she was holding started flowing down through her cheeks.

She said "I... I .... 'sob'.... do... don't.... know.... 'sob'...... I wa..... was scared...... when .... tha.....

that man 'sob'..... sa.... said.... he wi.... will ki... kill me...... and.... and..... I.... saw.... yo... you....

'sob'... coming towards me... so... I ..... I thought..... 'sob' you will kill me..... "

Arthur just stayed silent and was looking at her, as he lifted his hands, her eyes got closed.......
