Zipporah stood in the throne room, waiting for the arrival of their guests. Camelot was playing host to Lord Bayard of Mercia, along with the selection of his finest Knights. It marked the day in which an alliance between the two lands would finally be agreed.

Camelot and Mercia had been feuding kingdoms for years, they had engaged in more battles with one another than any other lands. It was a renown fact that Uther and Bayard had despised each other, but they had come to the conclusion that they were stronger untied than as foes.

Needless to say, tensions were high and all the Knights and guards of Camelot were on high alert, ready for any surprise attack that might be unleashed upon them.

Positioned beside Uther and a little in front of Arthur, Zipporah watched as the doors to the Throne Room were drew open and a legion of men clothed in blue robes walked in.

When he saw his new ally nearing, Uther straightened up and whispered to his wife, "make me proud."

Zipporah could have recoiled in disgust, but she straightened her spine and held her head high, making her look like the poised and regal figure she was supposed to.

She settled for glaring at the side of Uther's head, throwing him a look of distaste. She felt a tingling brush against the back of her hand, and she didn't even have to look to know that it was Arthur.

Lord Bayard and his people continued to walk further, and the people of Camelot did the same, taking confident strides forward, with Uther and Zipporah leading the welcoming party.
