Anna limped through the Market of Camelot. She didn't look like herself You could say she looked like someone you wouldn't want to approach. Which was her plan until she could see Uther. If it weren't for Lancelot she might still be laying in the dark woods bleeding. She keep her hood up and looked down towards the her feet. Every now and then she would look up to see if she was going the right way, other then that she kept her eyes on the ground. She would bump into people and stumble to the ground, due to her leg giving out.

Her leg was better, but not as much as it could be, so she walked with a limp to keep off the pressure. Limping meant being off balance and taking up more room then she needed. She was taking her time to get to the Castle, no need to rush when people have no idea who you are? Right? The townspeople were letting her pass by easily, she wondered why only to Bump into someone with a loud clang! Anna sat on the ground looking up at someone who was dressed in Armor, which is why this must have hurt her so much. She took a look at the man's face, Prince Arthur.

"I am very sorry that bump into you sire." Anna said covering her face so only Arthur could see it. Her face a clean and normal looking, not like the rest of her. She hoped that no one saw her face apart from Arthur.

[Arthur Pendragon]

Arthur was walking through the streets, ensuring everything was in order. After the death of his father's wife . . . . . . the troll . . . . . Arthur needed some time out of the castle so that he could burst into a fit of laughter without getting glared at by his father. He was no longer disinherited of course, and so Arthur took advantage of this opportunity to continue his duties. Clad fully in his armor, he walked down the streets nodding towards random citizens who noticed his presence and bowed before him. The streets however were crowded, so not everyone was paying attention. It was perhaps caused Arthur to bump into a passerby. Unfortunately, the collision was enough to force her to the ground.

He was in a good mood though so was not irritated or annoyed by any means. "Its quite alright," he said, offering his hand to help her up. "Are you alright?" He asked, hoping that she hadn't gotten injured or anything.

"No worries, Falling didn't hurt me." She said taking his hand and looking at her leg. Her sleeve fell down showing her tattoo. She stood up as quickly as possible. She straitened herself and smiled at him. She let her hood fall, now that she was with Arthur, no one, in their right mind, would try to attack. At least that was what she hoped. "It's a pleasure to meet you." She nodded to him in acknowledgment. She was silently thinking, not letting it show. She wasn't sure to trust anyone around her, not even Arthur at this point in time.

She looked around her and saw that most people had kept to themselves. They continued to move on not stopping to look or acknowledge her, but Arthur. Then again she wasn't in Cenred any more.

[Arthur Pendragon]

He was relieved that she was fine. He would not have to take her to Gaius or anything at least. A pleasure to meet him? No citizen, or person of the lower class had ever said that to him. This was not a common greeting to the Prince. "Are you from Camelot?" Something in his gut told him no, but he had to know such things because if she was not, he would have to inquire about her intentions here, since it was all part of keeping the kingdom safe.

His father's paranoia kept Arthur constantly on guard. He was not as . . . quick to judge someone, but he was also not passive enough to just let anyone wander through without being questioned. Besides, he would only blame himself if something happened in the kingdom. Except the troll situation . . . that was not his fault. That was just absolutely hilarious!

"No, no I'm not. I'm Lady Anna of Cenred." She whispered looking around her. "I left on account of my Father. I came here to speak with your Father."She was still whispering hoping that the men who attacked her were not her in Camelot. She looked at herself. "Oh please do belive me. I know I don't look the part. Please." She bagged. Even if he didn't, which possible couldn't happen, she would show her tattoo. She bit her lip in hopes of him trusting her.

Her heart was pounding. One of the men that attacked her was in Camelot. She put her hood up and kept her head down, still bitting her lip. She bit it so hard that it bleed.

[Arthur Pendragon]

Lady Anna of Cenred?! Arthur was highly surprised by this revelation of her identity. Now, she would not be the first to claim a royal title, so Arthur was still skeptical to believe her. But . . . if she truly was, then this was indeed alarming. "Lady Anna, why have you come here to seek an audience with the king? You know that there are high tensions between Camelot and Cenred. For you to be in here . . . dangers of any civility, however tense, is at great risk." This put Arthur on edge. He did not want the kingdom to be at war with Cenred. But her, being here . . . that could be a reason to wage war, just enough to push both kingdoms over the edge.

The king was not going to take well to this. Arthur could not permit her to have an audience with him until he found out more information about her reason for being here. "It is not wise for you to be here. Why have you come?" He asked again, waiting for her answer before deciding which course of action to take. His voice was curious but also very concerned about what this meant, and how each King was going to react . . . if she was in fact who she claimed to be.

“Yes, I know that this could lead to war. Not that I didn't think of that. I did really, but I ah... Really don't want to tell you why I am here. It's quite selfish.” She whispered. Anna knew that either way she would have to tell him why she was here. She looked over his shoulder again and saw the suspicious man coming faster over to them. “I'll tell you but not here.”She grabbed his arm and ran, more like limped very fast away from where they once where. She couldn't think of a reason why that man could be here unless her Father had sent them. Anna didn't want anything to do with her father at this point, She didn't care is he disowned her.

They had gone fairly far before her leg began to hurt. She pushed him into a back rode and hid in the shadows like she has for most of her journey. Anna looked into Arthur's eyes. “My Father, being the controlling Bast- Man he is, sent me to my chambers for disobeying him. I was to stay there until he said so. I got sick and tried of him and the way he has been treating, not only myself but everyone around and left without a trace. Or so I thought.” Anna said with out a smile or hint of lying across her face. She meant business. “I came here to get as far away from him as possible. I have no idea if her knows I am here, nor do I care.” She hissed the last words. She knew that Her father wouldn't be happy when he found out that she came to Camelot on her own accord.

Anna wanted her Father to suffer. If that meant telling Uther all of their secretes then so be it. She wasn't gong to let him off easily. Let him disown her, she wouldn't give it a second thought. That feeling began to rumble up inside of her, that feeling of hatred. Anna wasn't letting this go. She pulled up her sleeve and showed Arthur the tattoo. “See this, yes, I have this on account of my Father. He killed a warlock’s wife, so he cursed me. Gave me this, so my Father would always remember what had happened. So I would suffer like his daughter would without a Mother.” She said with narrow eyes. Her heart was pounding and making her ears ring. “My Father killed his entire Family.”

[Arthur Pendragon]

Arthur was completely confused. He had no idea what was going on, but he ran alongside her because now, he could not let the princess of Cenred -- assuming that was she actually her -- out of his sight! If his father found out about this . . . then he feared what this meant for the two kingdoms. The man he had caught only a brief glimpse of did not look familiar; he was not one of his knights. And this concerned him even more. Was he one of Cenred's men? What if he knew she was in Camelot?

Arthur looked at her. She seemed sincere in her words, but her questionable identity was not his immediate concern right now. In fact, he would rather she not actually be who she was claiming. "I sympathize for you, I truly do," Arthur began to say. He knew what it was like to disagree with one's father. Arthur and the king did not always see eye to eye and tended to argue about many things. Arthur had also been repeatedly punished for that, the worst being sent to the dungeon for the knight. Still, he never regretted his actions, even if he could understand the king's reasoning. He was his father after all, and he greatly respected the man for it was he who raised him.

"But I can not have you stay here solely because you had a large disagreement with the king of Cenred. There is more at stake than your relationship with your father. He may declare war on us, and that puts every single person in this kingdom at risk. I can not let that happen." He did feel sorry for the young woman, so he was not about to send her on her way just yet -- mostly because he also needed to keep a close eye on her. This entire thing could just be some sort of bizarre trap. "I can't tell the King right now that you are here. I don't think he'll act favorably towards you. You may say that you do not care if he knows you're here, but I do. I am extremely worried that he does know and will use this against us, even if he does not know the whole story." He was trying to explain his reasoning to her, hoping she would understand. But, he was still going to offer assistance to her . . . he just needed to figure out a way to do that without jeopardizing the entire kingdom.
