Chapter 2 (Prince Merlin)

Arthur is king and Gwen is queen. No one is evil and no one is dead (other than Uther and Balinor:'( )( don't worry Freya will be part of the chapter). Mordred is also a knight. This is not a Merthur.

It was a fairly normal day in Camelot. Merlin had, very rudely, woken Arthur up just like normal.

"Merlin, today I need you to get my armor ready for training then after training , I will need you to muck out the stables and do my laundry."

Merlin sighed before walking out of the room to gather Arthur's armor. As he walked he couldn't help, but think back to the nightmare he had last night.

He was in one of the most beautiful fields he had ever seen. He was lying next to a beautiful lady with black (or is it dark brown) hair. He loved her with all of his might. They were sitting in silence as he weaved her a crown of flowers to put in her hair, she was his queen, the love of his life. As he set it on her head the warning bells rang and everything terrible happened in a blur. He sent her to the caves for escape from the Citadel. He drew his sword and fought his way to his father. "Sire!" Will, his most trusted knight called out to him. "Your father has ordered for me to get you out." They were fighting alongside each other now. "Will I have to protect my kingdom!" He sighed and said "I hate that I have to do this." Then he whacked the crown prince of Heartista over the head effectively knocking him out.

As soon as the flashback had ended Merlin noticed that he was at Arthur's door holding his armor. His brain had gone onto autopilot while he was distracted. He sighed thinking about the love of his life, his beautiful Freya.

He walked into Arthur's room and put his armor on him. Afterwords they walked to training. Merlin didn't notice, but Arthur kept shooting him questioning glances about his silence. I was confusing to say the least Merlin was never quiet. What was different about today?

When they finally got to training all of the knights noticed his silence, but only three of them knew why.

Mordred, being a druid, had lived in Heartista until Yonder, Merlin's uncle, had taken over.

Gwaine and Lancelot had been knights with Will and loyally served that night. They had found Will and Hunith in Ealdor before coming to Camelot to protect Merlin. The three of them looked at him with pity before turning to start training. They were all distracted by Merlin's quietness, but they tried to not let it show.

It was at a point when they were going to call him out for it when a young messenger boy came running to Arthur. "Sire! I am sorry to interrupt, but a group of knights is heading towards Camelot. They told the scouts that they wanted to speak to you." Arthur nodded his head as the four from Heartista shared a long look.

When the knights cam into the throne room Arthur was on his throne, while Merlin was hiding in the shadows.

When the blue and silver capes came into view, four people in the room took in sharp breaths before looking at each other. The Heartista knights stopped in the middle of the room before stepping to the side showing the person that was leading them.

Freya was standing there before Arthur standing tall like the queen she was destined to be.

"Your Highness," Freya started slightly curtsying before continuing "we seek the help of Camelot, so we may take back our kingdom form our crown prince's cruel uncle." Arthur looked thoughtful before asking "May I meet this crown prince of your's" Freya sighed before answering "We have yet to find him, I fear he may be dead." Merlin smirked at Mordred, Gwaine, and Lance sending them a fast mind message (mm). Go ahead, show yourselves. Gwaine and Lance were the first to push through the crowd to show themselves.

"Now Freya," Gwaine started "You know nothing can kill him except losing you." Lance finished. Mordred snorted as he pushed his way to stand next to them "You two are so corny." Freya turned at the sound of their voices and her face lit up, but not as much as it would for Merlin. "So he is alive." she let out a sigh of relief before looking thoughtful "King Arthur, you must know that we are a kingdom of magic, but also that not all of us have it. Gwaine and Lancelot do not, but Mordred here-" "I'm a druid sire." Mordred cut her off. This was the perfect moment for Merlin to come out

"Oh, but when did that stop you Mordred?" Freya flew around looking for the source of the voice. That's when she noticed Merlin standing there in servant's clothes and yelled "Merlin!" she ran to him and hugged him whispering "I thought you were dead." over and over.

After a few moments Freya pulled away and said "Your mother was sent to the caves a few days ago, and Will is here with us."

Arthur and the other knights had just stood there in silence as all of this had gone down until Morgana started laughing her head off.

"Arthur, hahahahahahaha, you had a crown prince doing your laundry!" at that all of the knights started laughing along with the Heartista knights and royalty.

"Well Merlin, I guess you aren't too clumsy to be a prince."
