~A faraway kingdom.~ ~Knight in shining armour.~ ~Damsel in distress.~ ~An unbreakable love.~ ~Now, how did those fairytales always begin?~ ~Ah, yes.~
Once upon a time…
.
The castle extended high toward the sky, seemly to emanate off a silhouette glow. The white stone of the castle gleamed in the brilliant rays of the sun. Many flags-colored of red, white, and blue-decorated the castle’s fascia. They overhang from the peaks of the ascending towers, flapping innocently in the zephyr wind.
Another perfect day in the kingdom of Britannia.
But beyond the monarchy walls, a low trotting of a horse came closer to the towns square amidst the rising gossip of the gathering general public. They gazed in awe at the sight of the regal-looking blond knight, clad in armour of purest silver. His blue eyes shined in an intensity and clarity not native to these lands, his white stallion ambling along with poise and posture.
“Who is that striking man?”
“Have you not heard? He is but the valiant knight Sir Alfred F. Jones!”
“You mean the knight who has slain countless dragons and saved numerous villages in order to protect the weak and defenseless?”
“But what is he doing here in our fair kingdom?”
“I wouldn’t mind him sweeping me off my feet any day.”
Alfred must’ve heard that comment, for he flashed a brilliant smile at the young lady. She instantly swooned as if her heart had left her body and floated up to heaven, clasping her hands together before falling over in infatuated bliss. Luckily, a couple of her friends caught her in the nick of time, on of them trying to shake her back to consciousness. The other stared onward at the retreating knight, his figure getting lost in the sea of the crowd.
The castle looked much bigger than expected as Alfred came closer to his destination. He dismounted his trusty steed, petting it on the mane a few times before entering the double doors.
The first thing that stood out was the seemingly endless staircase at the center of the main room, stretching outward and onward in miles till end. Tapestries hung along the walls embroidered in extravagant silk, highlighted under the sparkle of the grand chandelier dangling above the dome-shaped ceiling.
However the knight turned a blind eye to the pure finery of the room, instead swerving to the left and walked down the long hallway, his footsteps falling evenly on the red carpet that stretched all the way to the end of the hall. To his left, the wall was lined with windows that almost reached the high, arched ceiling. Pouring in from the windows was the bright light of midday.
He winked as he passed by a couple of walking maids as they scurried down the hall in embarrassment. The man chuckled to himself when he heard them squealed, and then walked further down the hall. Suddenly he stopped short, turning to face a set of giant pearl colored double doors. On either door was a symbol consisting of a lion and an unicorn, both figures facing the elaborate four-parted crest; the royal emblem. The door stretched up in its giant gold lined archway until it reached the ceiling.
It seemed like a daunting task to open such a large set of doors for any one man, but this is the heroic knight we’re talking about! No door can stand in his way! The knight smiled to himself and slammed the entranceway into the adjacent walls with a loud bang without breaking a sweat, stepping into the room.
The tiled linoleum floors glimmered with their fresh polish, clean and spanking new. The only thing laid out on top of the floor was another long red carpet that stretched all the way from the double doors to the two thrones. On either side of the wall were statues, both the respective symbols of the monarchy.

The throne room was huge, able to fit possibly hundreds of guests at a time. But for now, it only occupied a few people: a couple of guards, the king, the queen, and her royal Princess. They all looked at the intruder with surprised facades etched on each one of their faces, but the knight didn’t seemed to notice. He walked triumphantly down the length of the carpet.
"Good afternoon, Your Majesties," he called out. He continued his march down the long red carpet. Needless to say that the princess was surprised would’ve been an understatement, as a rising blush creped up by each advancing step of the blond haired knight.
The guards immediately sprang into action and formed a human aegis in front of the royal family, their swords drawn in defense. The Queen, sensing the dire outcome of this predicament, held up a hand. “Lower your weapons.”
The soldiers protested. “But, Your Maje-”
“It’s quite alright. He is to be trusted.” She said it in a tone that left no room for argument. The soldiers bowed and after withdrawing their blades, left.
Once the commotion had settled down, the Queen smiled pleasingly at the unexpected guest. “Yes, Sir Alfred? What do I owe this pleasure to?”
He was barely even trying to contain his pint-up euphoria when he bowed in greeting to the royal highnesses. “My Queen,” he addressed formally, then turned to the king. “Your Majesty. With all greatest respect, I would be honored to receive your blessings,” he made his way up the few steps that separated him with the princess-who was now blushing a rosy shade of red that Alfred finds so adorable-and took the smaller hand in his, “for your princess’s hand in holy courting.”
An awkward silence ranged throughout the immense room. The King blinked, quite shocked at the frank proposal. The Queen tried to hide her obvious quirked lips. The Princess, though, had it worst, face now scrunched up in an angry mortified glower. Trying to salvage any dignity left, the Princess turned to the King and Queen. “If you’ll please excuse us.”
Though the words seemed forced out through clenched teeth.
The Princess snatched Alfred’s wrists and brutally pulled him out of the room, closing the door along the way out. Leaning against the cool surface for a moment, the Princess diverted a full glare at the knight. Alfred just grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. “Well, that wasn’t exactly the most awesomest ending I was hoping for, but-”
A fist met his face in a sickening rupture, as the knight staggered backwards and covered his nose. “Ow! God dammit, what the hell was that for??”
He pouted and rubbed the sore spot. “You sure like it rough, don’t you?”
The taller blond grinned widely at the princess’s sputtering. He leaned down till they were face-to-face, centimeters left between them. The Princess reclined back until there was no more space to fall back on.
“So, how about a kiss?” He pointed at his nose, giving a gesture of ‘hey-kiss-it-better.’ Alfred waited as seconds ticked by, till he was punched harder, this time on the cheek, sending him sprawling onto the floor in a bit of a daze. The Princess sure had a mean upper-cut.
“ALFRED F. JONES!! YOU WANKER!!!!”

This looks like awesome and like it would be full of hilarity. I will add this to my list of fills to stalk. Also I see you are tiptoeing around the princess' gender. Best indication of the hilarity yet to come, for me.
Oh, and congrats on being the first to actually post a fill in the new past parts fill! XD

I was going to pass this fill over, but I'm glad curiosity won out, because I've adored unconventional princesses since my early childhood. And glowering tsundere who can punch like that? Well. XP
OP is VERY interested

First of all, sorry about commenting only until now, after some very annoying things I had to deal with (namely my finals and work), I was finally able to check the kink meme for updates. Once again, I'm very sorry.
Now, regarding this particular fill, I must say...Anon, I'm intrigued. I certainly didn't expect this kind of story when I saw someone else had decided to fill my request. But I'm a sucker for fairy tales and stuff (I'm still wondering just HOW could you have found this out...Are you a mind-reader or something? Maybe you're just THAT good...), so I just continued reading. So far, I'm really liking this story. Brave Knight!Alfred+(Man?)Princess!Arthur=Pure win! And I just burst into laughter when I read the "ask for the princess' hand in holy courting" bit. Although I'm feeling poor Alfred will be having a very hard time, considering that even his lovely princess isn't making it easy for him.
I'm looking forward to what this story will bring, please update soon, I'll be sure to check the kink meme as soon as I can to see if you posted more of this really great-looking story. Don't leave me hanging, please!! (puppy eye look)

And. He’s. Heading. Right. Towards. The. Princess.
