Athos POV
We were currently walking through the palace after returning the prince after he ran away alone and without protection looking for adventure as he called it. Personally i would just call it a spoiled brat who needed to be taken in to hand because if theres one thing for sure if Bella ever did anything like that she’d have her backside smacked faster than Porthos eats his dinner. “I do worry about him though i mean he dosent have many true friends his own age you can’t blame him really for doing what he did” The King said stopping in front of one of the large windows facing out on to the grounds of the palace. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and glanced at my Brothers who had the same look flash over their faces. “i’ve just had the most fantastic idea” He said turning to face us “theres a little girl who lives with you at the garrison i believe who is she?” The king quistoned all of us “Thats Arabella our little sister Your Majesty” D’artagnan replies all of us silently praying he wasn’t going to suggest what i think he is “Arabella….How old is she?” He questioned. “Seven Your Majesty” Porthos informed the king who nodded thinking again “Bring her up to the palace tommorow they can play together and do whatever children their age do” He said suggesting the idea all of us dreaded “after all she must be a fine young lady haveing older brothers like you to look after her” he said smiling “thank you Your Majesty I’m sure it will be a honour” I said plastering a small fake smile on my face. “Right its settled then bring her here for midday tomorrow” he said walking away as we all bowed our heads politely. “This can only end badly” Aramis said sighing “she’s definitely not going to come down here without a fight” Porthos said as we made our way out of the palace and mounted our horses to head back to the garrison.

Arabella POV
“WHAT” i screamed at my brothers who were stood in front of me in Athos office “lower your voice” Aramis scolded. "Its only for a couple of hours and you just have to play with him” D’artagnan compromised “No I’m not doing it”. “Look Bella we know you don’t want to but all you have to do is put a smile on your face and pretend like you want to be friends with him for a few hours and then we can all get back to our normal lives…Ok?” Aramis asked “No i won’t do it he’s a horrible spoiled brat-“ “Bella jus-“ Athos tried to cut in “i wouldn’t spit on him if he was on fire”. “BELLA” Athos shouted making me jump and stop ranting “i understand you don’t want to go but you have no choice and believe me we wouldn’t make you go if we didn’t have to but the King wants the Prince to have friends his own age. So it would be better if you just go and get it over with for all of our sakes” Athos said ending the convosation “Fine but its not fair” i said huffing and walking away making my way in to my bedroom “Don’t slam the door” Porthos shouted from the office i huffed again and closed my door quietly throwing my self dramatically on to my bed. I stayed on my bed for another hour before i was made to go downstairs for supper until D’artagnan took me up to bed “come on get your nightie on” he said handing me my light pink long sleeved nightie. I got changed and brushed my hair putting it in to two braids at the side of my head. When i was done D’artagnan pulled my bed sheets back and helped me in to bed “do i have to go tomorrow?” i questioned “Come on Bella it won’t be that bad and who knows maybe you’ll get on with him”. “Doubt it” I said yawning making him smile “you’ll have fun i promise” he said smiling at me brushing my fringe out of my eyes. I nodded “Night night” “Night night god bless” he said bending down and giving me a kiss on the lips “Love you” i said as he made his way to my door “Love you to Sweetheart” he said winking at me and closing the door leaving it open a crack.

The next morning came to soon for my liking as i got out of bed and got changed in to a light blue long sleeved plain dress. I kept my hair in last nights braids and brushed my fringe flat slipping on my plain nude flats and making my way out of my room and out the door down the stairs to the table in the courtyard were my brothers were sat with Constance. “Constance” i squealed happily running over and hugging her “Hello beautiful” she said hugging me back “what are you wearing numbtey” Porthos said tutting ruffling my hair "whats wrong with it” I asked suddenly feeling very self conscious “nothing sweetheart” Constance said hitting Porthos on the back of the head making me giggle “Its a very beautiful but i tell you what after you’ve had some breakfast we can go upstairs and get changed in to this very pretty Purple dress and do your hair all pretty”. “can you put a bow in my hair?” i asked exited “of course if thats what you want” she smiled at me i nodded quickly and walked over to Aramis who picked me up placing me on his lap and wrapping an arm protectively around me and kissing my cheek. “Want some breakfast?” he asked “yes please” he nodded and put some fruit and bread on to a plate and placing it in front of me allowing me to tuck in. After i finished eating Constance took me up to my room and helped me get changed in to a Lilac dress with flared sleeves and did my hair in a half up half down hairstyle and tying it with a ribbon. “Thank you” i said happily throwing my arms around Constance who laughed “Your welcome Gorgeous” she said kissing the top of my head “want to go show your brothers how beautiful you look” I nodded and made my way out of my bedroom and through Athos office were all my brothers were talking “Wow look at you” D’artagnan said making all my brothers turn to look at me “Just like a proper princess” Aramis said smiling at me “Yeah it won’t be long before we’ll be chasing the boys away” Porthos said pulling me on to his knee. “And god help her when that happens” Constance said standing in my bedroom doorway making my brother laugh “I have to get back to the queen but i might see you this afternoon try and have a good time Belle”. I nodded “Thank you” “your welcome bye” she said closing the door “bye” we all said “right we better start heading towards the palace” Porthos said placing me back on the floor i sighed in dread “Ok” i replied “it will be fine” Aramis said walking bye me squeezing my shoulder. I looked over at Athos was still sat in his seat staring at me like in some sort of daydream “Athos?” i said quietly walking towards him snapping him out of his daydream “Yeah sorry” he said quickly. “Do i look funny?” i asked feeling self concious “No no…come here” he said opening his arms and enveloping me in them “you look beautiful” he said kissing the side of my head “just like mother”. I looked up at him “Really?” i asked amazed “Really” he replied i stayed silent “come on the others will be waiting for us” he said leading me over to the door and carrying me down the steps to avoid my dress getting dirty. I stayed silent all the way there smiling to myself that i had something in common with my mother. Athos was really the only one with any memory of my parents my other brothers had memories to but Athos was a teenager when my parents died so had more memories but wasn’t always wanting to talk about them. But i know that there not doing it to be mean they said they will tell me when i was older witch i didn’t mind because i had my mothers wedding ring on a chain around my neck and her jewellery box in my bedroom. When we got to the palace my brother helped me off the horse and we walked through the palace until we were met by the king Queen and Prince who was holding his mothers hand “Good afternoon my fine musketeers” the king said to my brothers who bowed there heads while i curtseyed “And you must be Arabella” he said looking down at me. “Yes your majesty” i replied “Just as i thought a fine young lady” the King said smiling at me “Thank you” “Why don’t you to go and play your brothers and i have some important business to discuss” he said motioning to the prince who just looked at me. i nodded slowly “okay” i said quietly Athos grabbed my arm gently “be nice” he whispered in my ear and gave me an encouraging nudge towards the boy. i walked over to him and smiled at him “Hello your majesty my name is Arabella” i said politely “I’m Prince Loui” he leaned forward and whispered in my ear “But you can just call me Loui” he leaned away from me and smiled kindly i smiled back “maybe this won’t be so bad after all” i thought to myself as we walked away from the adults and down in to the palace grounds. “So Arabella” he said looking at me “You can just call me Bella most people do” i said kindly he smiled back “Bella do you like hide and seek” he asked hopefully i smiled widely at him “I Love hide and seek”. “Ok you hide and I’ll count to twenty” He said covering his eyes and i ran around the corner were i found a gazebo with four pillars and hid behind one. I waited for a couple of minutes before i heard running footsteps around the corner i quietly giggled and threw my hands over my mouth “found you” he said laughing and jumping in front of me i laughed “ok your turn to hide now” i said playful nudging his shoulder. He nodded and ran off in the other direction. I counted to twenty and went off looking for him and found him hiding behind some bushes in the maze “found you” i said giggling jumping out infant of him he laughed. “i picked this for you” he said holding a small pink flower out witch i took and blushed a little “thank you” i said putting it in my hair. We carried on playing hide and seek for a while and then just sat on the grass talking and playing eye spy. Now i know what D’artagnan is always talking about when he says never judge by its cover even though i thought the Prince was a spoiled brat (and still kind of do) when i got to know him i think we will truly be good friends. “This was fun” i said to Loui “Yes it was” “we should do it again” i said surprising myself and him “you really want to be friends with me?”. “I truly do” i said smiling “then yes we should do it again”. “Bella lets go please” I heard Aramis shout “Ok” i shouted both of us standing up and running back towards the palace hand in hand. “Athos……Can i come back here tomorrow to play” i asked wrapping my hands around his waist and looking up at him “I”m sorry?” he asked shocked “can i come back and play tomorrow” i repeated. He looked at me for a second “It’s fine with me” he said looking up at the queen “It would be an honour to have such a lovely young lady with my son” she said smiling kindly at me. We arranged for me to go back tomorrow and left the palace walking back to the garrison for the night.
