"And as a bonus, the winner will have the honor of taking my daughters hand in marriage!"

My eyes widen in surprise, and I stare at father shocked.

"WHAT?!" I hear Douxie shout surprised, his eyes wide as well and mouth hanging open in shock.

------------------------------------------------

Mailins PoV:
"Father, you can't be serious!" I ask him shocked.

"Oh, I am very serious my daughter. You've been of age since you were 16 but because of my love for you I've let you draw this out as long as you wished. But now you need a prince, worthy of ruling this kingdom." Father explains.

"You want some prince to rule while I sit idly by like the quiet queen I am?! No way in hell!"

"You better watch your language young lady!" Father growls at me.

I huff and walk of off the stage and back towards Douxie, Claire and Steve.

Douxie sighs and immediately wraps his arms around me in a hug.

"It didn't happen like this, I'm guessing." Claire says.

We both nod.

"Don't worry Mailin, I'm sure once your past self tells your father she's dating past Douxie then maybe he'll be ok with it." Claire says comfortingly.

"It did happen that I told him. And he was not fond of us at first but once he got to know Douxie more he was alright with us." I explain and sigh again "for now we just need to make sure everything is safe in case Morgana attacks."

Douxie and Claire nod in agreement. Steve comes walking up to us, carrying many muffins.

"We know Arthur is the main target. I'll draw stasis traps around the perimeter, put up defensive wards-" Douxie takes the muffin Steve holds out to him and eats it "I forgot how good these tasted." Douxie says happily and I chuckle. While he eats another one Claire speaks.

"Guys, this is Morgana we're talking about. We can't just wait for her to slice our throats."

I flinch.

"Why not?" Steve asks while eating.

"She'll find a way in." Claire answers his question, and we turn as a boy screams.

A little boy and girl are playing with toys what father did to Aunt Morgana.

After that Archie flies towards us.

"No sign of any sorceresses. Then again, all you humans do look alike."

"She is crafty. She'll try to infiltrate the tournament. We have to go on the offensive, root the witch out!" Claire says.

"You do that, Mailin and I will secure the castle." Douxie says, high fives Claire and we part ways.

Douxie and I make our way through the town and throw protective spells on the houses.

Then we do the same with Merlin's tower.

"And there. The King's chambers and Merlin's tower completely warded. No evil sorceress is getting in now, eh, Arch?"

"Oh, you've done it alright, maybe overdone it." Archie replies and Douxie winces as a guy gets stuck in one of the spells. He helps him out and the guy leaves.

Sir Galahad comes running in and grabs Douxie "Oy, the king summons you! Come with me at once!"

"What-?" Douxie asks confused as Galahad takes him, I follow them, while thinking worriedly "what if father found out about us?"
