    I tweaked lancelot.Hopefully he doesn't look so similar to William.

    Lancelot: My queen, it is highly inappropriate of a lady to be jumping in and out of wells such as you did.
    Claire: And it will do you best to remember, I'm not a typical Queen.Ask my husband.

    William: Ask me what?
    Lancelot: You approve of your wife jumping into wells and making such messes?
    William: I have expressed my concerns.But Claire will be Claire.
    Lancelot: This is unheard of.I have never seen such disregard for grace and class.
    William: I sincerely hope you were not insulting my wife.
    Claire: I'm not insulted.He's just not used to a lady being independent apparently.And if he wants to remain in his position,
    he will get used to it.Understand Lancelot?
    Lancelot: King William...
    William: You heard my wife.
    Claire: You're dismissed now, please go tend to your duties.
    Lancelot: Yes, Queen.

    Ella flirted with William(I seriously didn't do it, she did it on her own, I assume because its love day.So an unexpected and unplanned update)

    Claire: What are you doing?!
    William: Claire...Its not what it looks like.
    Claire: You serious? If you were in my position, you would be all over me accusing me of things.
    You know what...You two can have each other.Enjoy.
    Ella: I'm sorry...Claire?!

    William: Claire..Wait! I didn't do anything..I swear on my father's grave.I wouldn't...I couldn't.
    Claire: And yet you would be accusing me of things if you were in my position.

    William: Claire...Please..
    Claire: No....Get away from me.Don't touch me.

    William: What is wrong with you Ella? Do you hate Claire? Do you hate me? Why would you try to come on to me like that?
    Ella: I'm sorry...I don't know....
    William: Tomorrow morning, I want your belongings packed and you're to leave Praaven.You are no longer Cedric's godmother.
    Ella: Wait...I have no where to go...Your Majesty.
    William: Either leave or be tried for treason.Your choice Ella.

    Lancelot: Your Majesty, wait...
    Claire: What do you need Lancelot?
    Lancelot: I saw what happened...I understand your upset.
    Claire: Funny thing is, he'd actually accuse me of betraying him and would get all over my case.
    Lancelot: Yes.I understand.Wish I could do more, but if you ever need someone to listen.You can speak to me, or Duncan or Alistair.
    Claire: Thank you.Very kind of you.

    Claire: Wildfire, remember daddy's cottage? Lets stay here tonight.I need to cool down.

    William: There you are.I should have guessed, you would come back here.
    Claire: Yes, I needed a time out to calm down.
    William: Are you calm?
    Claire: As calm as I'll be.I'm going to stay here tonight.
    William: Well, then I'm staying here as well.
    Claire: You don't have to do that, but you can if you want to.
    William: I want to.

    the next morning...

    William: Ella, you haven't left yet?
    Ella: Please, King William! Don't kick me out.I'm sorry....I have no where to go..
    William: You want to stay in Praaven? Then you fix things between me and Claire.And you apologize to my family
    for putting us in this awkward situation.If you don't, then I stand true to my judgment.
    Ella: Fair enough.

    Claire: Beautiful music Cedric! Mommy's prince is going to be a boy of many trades I see.

    Ella: You're Majesty.I need to speak to you.
    Claire: What is it Ella?
    Ella: William is completely innocent....I'm the one who made the flirtatious jokes to him....
    Duncan and I had an argument, I got mad and wanted to make him Jealous...William was the first person I saw.
    I'm sorry....I'm pregnant with Duncan's baby Claire!
    Claire: What? Ella that's strictly forbidden in Praaven.You two aren't married!
    Ella: I know, and that's why I told Duncan we need to get Married and he completely laughed in my
    face.Please don't say anything...yet.
    Claire: I won't for now, but if word gets out and my husband questions...Ella I will have no choice.
    Ella: I know...But please, forgive William.It wasn't his fault.

    William went to find Claire and Claire went to find William....

    William: Hello Claire.
    Claire: Hello, William....
    William: How are you?
    Claire: Fine...As good as I can be I suppose.

    William: Claire...please believe me I didn't do anything...Ell
    Claire: I know...Ella explained everything.She was trying to make Duncan jealous, and the plan backfired.
    I'm sorry I got so angry..
    William: I understand, to be completely honest, if I saw you speaking with a man who was acting like Ella,
    I frankly wouldn't like it either.I'm sorry to.
    Claire: Its fine.

    Lancelot: Your Majesty, Your Highness.I believe we have found the killer of Claire's mother.
    Lancelot presented,a young man, by the name of Joseph to the king and Queen.His clothes were tattered, and torn, and small specks of dried blood were spattered about.

    Claire: Is this true? Did you kill my mother?
    Joseph: And I'd kill her again to, she was blight to the kingdom as is you.
    William and the knights went to put Joseph in his place, but Claire being the one who hates violence
    beckoned them not to.
    Claire: Let him approach me for a moment.
    Lancelot: My queen, are you sure?
    Claire: Just for a moment...

    Claire: What caused you to hate my mother?
    Joseph: That is not your concern.I hate her and I most certainly can't stand you.
    Claire: You are trying my patience.I will ask once more and once more only.Why did you kill my mother?

    46452404_193778974879696_3676561373392797696_o.jpg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.xx&oh=ffcdfdc0e44cabdd70534d25a521c5f7&oe=5C707115
    Joseph raised his hand, giving Claire a slap to her face.Instantly William jumped to his feet in rage.

    46348687_193778964879697_4803660692802502656_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.xx&oh=271d4a303db38921619108c8b390f5c4&oe=5C753476
    William: That is enough! How dare you raise your hand to the queen.Lancelot, take him to the dungeon.Tomorrow he will be tried
    in front of Praaven for the murder of Fantine, and assault to the Queen.The punishment will be death.

    46302822_193779004879693_2641999697060823040_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.xx&oh=b60917a5726fe38e0e662c0d2fa99db8&oe=5C80CFA2
    Joseph: You can't do this.
    Lancelot: Shut up.You heard your King.Say your prayers Joseph, the maker knows
    you're going to need them.

    The next morning, Joseph was brought forward to King William and Queen Claire.
    Duncan: Joseph Davidson, You are charged with the murder of Fantine Miller, Mother of Queen Claire.
    Joseph Davidson, You are charged with assault upon her majesty, Queen Claire.How do you plea?
    Joseph: Guilty, and I'd do it again to!
    King William: Jos..
    Queen Claire: Allow me to speak to him for a moment.
    Claire rose from her chair to stand before the prisoner.

    Claire: Joseph, I'm all that stands between you and certain death.Now, putting yesterday aside.
    Why did you kill my mother?
    Joseph: Fantine...Keeping you a secret and working to pay for your care! disgusting! I was her employer.
    I fired her on the spot....but I also longed for her...when I heard she returned to Praaven...and her daughter was queen,
    I knew I had to have my revenge...And I'd do again.

    King William stood from his chair, trying to remain calm.
    Queen Claire: You're a disturbed man, and need help.I don't hate you for what you've done.
    And I can and will forgive you, and do not think death should be your punishment..

    Claire: I disagree with your decision to kill him.I think he needs help.He's disturbed and troubled.I do not wish death
    upon this man nor anyone.
    William: That is not your decision to make...William turned to face the prisoner.
    Claire: And you have no right to make that decision.

    William: I am king Claire!
    Claire: And I am queen.Do I not have a say?
    William: This time no..I am not backing down anymore Claire.You will remember
    I am King and the final say is mine.Now sit down and be quiet.

    King William: I hearby sentence you, Joseph to death, immediately.
    Lancelot: Shall I perform the task?
    King William: No, this is my duty.

    King William: I, William of Praaven, hearby sentence you to death, for the murder of Fantine Miller.
    May the maker show you the mercy I can not.

    And with that Joseph was executed.

    Ella: Claire...I'm engaged to Duncan.
    Claire: Finally..I've been waiting for that.
    Ella: We don't want a big wedding, in fact we want a private wedding.And he wants to move into our own home.
    Claire: We'll miss you both, but I understand.

    few hours later...

    Claire: Ella where's my husband.I have something to tell him?
    Ella: He and Duncan went to practice archery.Something wrong?
    Claire: Possibly...Ella I'm pregnant again.
    Ella: That's wonderful!
    Claire: I'm not so sure...don't get me wrong, I love Cedric.But I don't think I can handle having a newborn and a toddler..
    Ella, I don't know what to do.
    Ella: It will work out, but do talk to William about it.

    Claire: There you are.I've been looking for you.
    William: Are you alright?
    Claire: No..I want to to talk privately.
    William: It must be serious,if you're actually coming to me for support.
    Claire: Funny..This is why I don't, if you don't want to listen..
    William: I meant, I'm glad you came to me.

    Claire: I'm pregnant again William.
    William: You're pregnant? Claire, that's wonderful news...I thought it was going to be bad news.
    Claire: I'm not ready for another baby William.I'm really worried about this...
    William: You shouldn't be.You're a great mother Claire.You have me...
    Claire: I know I have you, that makes me feel better...There's another matter..

    William: What?
    Claire: Its about Lancelot...He's making me uncomfortable William.
    William: How so?
    Claire: First of all, he keeps following me to the bedroom when its just me..
    William: Really?
    Claire: And his kissing my hand and trying to kiss my cheek is a little too "friendly"
    for me William.
    William: Are you telling me he's touched you?
    Claire: Twice.I don't like it, and I don't want him to be around me when I'm alone.
    William: He won't be, and I'm keeping my eyes on him.Claire, you should have came to me sooner,
    but I'm glad you came to.
    Claire: I don't want any secrets between us William.And I honestly do not feel comfortable with him.
    William: I will take care of it.

    William: I hope you don't mind me getting close.
    Claire: Not at all.You can hold me anytime William.

    William: Duncan, what's wrong?
    Duncan: Its Lancelot sir, he's escaped!
    William: What?! How?
    Duncan: I don't rightly know sir.
    Claire: Makers breath!
    William: Find him Duncan!

    Lancelot: That won't be necessary!
    William: You dare to come back.This ends now.
    Lancelot: I agree, but before we do...
    Lancelot leans in to grab Claire by the arm, William steps forward to block him.
    William: Leave her alone!
    Lancelot: What a brave king...I have a secret...

    Lancelot: I don't like brave kings...
    Duncan went to grab his sword.
    Lancelot: Try it and the Queen is next...King William, allow me to bid you farewell with a parting gift..
    Lancelot raised his sword as if to strike William in the neck, instead he took a blow to William's side.
    Claire: Maker! William!

    Claire: Maker, no.You won't get away with this! I'll have you hanged.
    Lancelot: Only the king can make that judgement, and he's not fit.Its time you fourthwinds showed your respect to the Wardens.
    Lord Ramsley sends his regards.Tomorrow morning, Castle Keep is no longer yours.I will be placing my men here.
    Claire: You can't do that!
    Lancelot: Lord Ramsley says I can and by all means necessary.Be grateful for your life Claire.I could easily take you out.
    Duncan: You wouldn't...
    Lancelot: Parting is such sweet sorrow.Until tomorrow dear friends...
    Claire: Get Ella! Duncan, she knows medicine....
    William, help is coming!...

    Ella: I froze him to stop him from bleeding to death, while I learned the healing spell.I hope it works.I'm going to unfreeze him, prepare to catch him claire.
    Claire: I'm ready...

    Claire: I caught him.Hurry Ella, he's bleeding again..

    Ella slowly whispered the healing incantation.Still not quite used to using magic, she wasn't sure if it would help or not.
    When she had finished, she and claire waited....

    William slowly opened his eyes, but was still weak from blood loss.
    William:(weakly) What happened?
    Claire:(crying) Ella saved you again.That's what happened.
    Lancelot tried to kill you.And would have succeeded if Ella didn't come.
    He's taking over the castle tomorrow with his men...
    William(weakly): Over my dead body...
    Claire: That's not funny!
    William:...

    Claire helped William to his seat.
    Ella: What do you plan on doing?
    William: Let him and Lord Ramsay in.Go along with their requests...within reason of course.
    I have a plan..Just trust me.
    Claire: I trust you.

    Thank you, I haven't updated this in a long time, and in fact have lost the chapters I did recently.
