"Why is she heating up?",king uther ask gaius. Queen Ravenna has not woken up since this morning and it is almost noon. Morgana and Arthur were inside the room too.

"Am afraid this is no ordinary fever, sire",gaius said. In all his work on science. Gaius knows when something is wrong and this case is different. "What is it then,gaius",Morgana ask.

Her mother life is at stake here. "Am afraid the queen was poisoned",gaius said convinced. "What?",king uther ask shocked.

"Yes my Lord, it must have been place inside the wine",gaius said. "Where is the goblet?",he ask.  "Here it is",Morgana gave it to him.

"Who served the queen last night?",king uther asked the queen maid Elisa."It was princess Athena maid celyn",Elisa replied.

King uther turns to Arthur. "Have her arrested and bring her to the throne room",he ordered.

"Yes sire",Arthur say and walk out with guards.

"Gaius please do everything you can do to heal my queen,I can't lose her",he said to gaius. He bows and walk out with Morgana.

Outside Morgana stops and face gaius. "You can heal her, can't you gaius?",she ask. "I can try my Lady",he replied. "Please do everything you can do. I can't lose my mother".Morgana pleaded. Gaius bows and walk away.

"Look what I found at your door?",celyn said and show Athena the flowers. "They are beautiful",Athena replied.

"Don't your admirer know that you are married?",celyn ask her and they both laugh. "It doesn't hurt to have someone crushing on me",Athena said and went into the bathroom.

Celyn put the flower down and went to answer the knock at the door.

She bowed when Arthur came in. "My Prince",she greeted.

"Arrest her",he said. And the guards seize. "What?".she ask as they drag her out. "My princess!!",she calls.

Athena comes out. "What is going on here?".she demanded. "She is under arrest",Arthur replied.
"Under whose order".she ask. "The King. Take her away",Arthur order and walk out.

"My princess, Athena please me save me!!".celyn screamed as they drag her out.

"I demand to know why you ordered the arrest of my maid?",Athena demanded as she entered the throne room.

"She is arrested for murder and treason",king uther replied.

"Treason? Murder? Of who?",Athena ask. Celyn kneel beside her. "She poisoned the Queen",king uther said.

"What? Celyn will never do that, she is humble and has never hurt anyone",Athena argued. "She shall be killed in three days time if she don't confess her deeds",uther ordered and dismiss the court. Everyone left except Morgana, Arthur, gaius, Merlin, Gwen.

"You can't do this!",Athena said.

"Why can't I? Who are you to oppose me",king uther shouted.

"I am the princess of Camelot, you can't sentence her to death without properly investigating",Athena said.

"She served the queen yesterday and the queen is on the verge of death, if she did this who then poison her?",Morgana asked. "It can be setup, you never know",Athena said.

"Father, you can't sentence her to death because she served the queen",Arthur said. "We've only been in Camelot for two weeks why will she want the Queen dead?",Athena ask.

"Sire, princess Athena is right, she is only a suspect".gaius said. "We should reinvestigate the charges before taking action",Morgana said.

"For questioning your king, her sentence has been reduced to two days, after which she will be killed. Take her away",uther orders. "But father........",

"Any more word from any of you, her sentence will b reduced to tomorrow".king uther warned.

The guards drag out celyn as she cried and begged for her life.

Athena runs out, into her room with tears. She collapsed on the floor and cried her eyes out.

Morgana enters Athena room and finds her on the floor in the pool of her own tears. Morgana kneel beside her and hold her as she cried more.

"You have to be strong for celyn",Morgana advised. Athena looked at her. "I thought you supported your father",she said.

Morgana hissed. "I will never support him in his evil judgement, Arthur doesn't approve it too",she said. "I need to find proof to prove her innocence",Athena said standing. "How do you intend to do that?",Morgana ask standing too.

"Leave that to me",Athena runs out....

*****Arthur chambers*****

"Merlin I can't find my boot!!",Arthur yelled. "Have you search under the bed?",Merlin replied. "You are asking me if I checked? Now remind me Merlin, what exactly where you hired to do?",Arthur ask folding his hands.

"Um clean your room, sharpen your sword,muck out your stables and find your boot",Merlin said proudly. "Well then find the boot!!",Arthur shouted sitting on the bed.

Merlin knelt down and looked under the table. "Found it!!",he announced beaming. "Thank God you are not really useless",Arthur said wearing the boot. He was about to say something when Athena walked in.

"My princess",Merlin said bowing. "You must be?",Athena ask. "I am merlin, your Majesty"merlin  replied smiling.

"Okay Merlin, can you please excuse us, I will like to speak with Arthur",Athena said. Merlin bowed and left.

"What brings you to my chambers again?".Arthur asked.

"I wanted to see you",Athena replied. "Okay, what for?",Arthur ask.

"You have to talk to your father not to have celyn killed".Athena begged. "Why?".

"Because she is innocent",Athena says. "What makes you think so?",Arthur ask and sit down at his dinning table.

"I grew up with celyn, she was just a child when I met her and she became my maid. She has never wished evil on any one ever, killing your mother is a very big mistake because she will never do it. Today will make it two weeks that we have been in Camelot. Have you seen celyn anywhere near the queen or anyone?",she ask. Arthur nods his head.

" please Arthur you have to help me",she begged. Arthur looked at her for few seconds then nod, "I'll talk to father",he said. Athena smile and bowed. She runs out.....
