Merthur and Reader x Sir Leon

Reading

Yawning I push myself up staring down at Leon's sleeping form for a moment before slipping out of bed and finding a simple red dress to wear. "Morning princess." I grin spinning around and wrapping my arms around his neck "Good morning." he leans down "Did you sleep alright?" I nod brushing my lips over his "Once I fell asleep again yes. I just hope we get Uthers ghost dealt with soon." he nods "Good luck tracking the horn thing." I laugh jumping when the door opens and Erin walks in balancing a tray of breakfast. "Good morning miss. Sir Leon." I smile moving over to the table "Good morning Erin, thank you."

She places the tray down before turning to the bed fixing the duvet and pillows. Leon presses a gentle kiss to my temple "I'll see you later love." I smile "Bye." he leaves and Erin turns grinning "You two seem immensely happy." I nod starting to eat my breakfast "I can't believe we're together, he's just..." I sigh leaning back in my chair "I love him." she laughs picking up a pile of dirty clothes "Well I'm glad you're so happy. I'll see you later miss I have chores to be getting on with." I nod smiling "Bye."

I finish my food and push away the empty plate standing up but trip back over backwards falling into the table. The silvery figure of Uther smirks "Hello daughter." I shake my head "Your dead. You can't hurt me." he chuckles darkly "This kingdom belongs to me. I will not let you and your brother ruin it." he takes a step forward and I take one back the table scraping against the floor "You and that idiot sorcerer who has somehow enchanted my son will pay for all you have done. Mark my words I will not let you destroy all I have worked to do." a cold wind whips around the room and he vanishes.

Shivering slightly I grab a cloak and leave my room heading straight for Arthur's. I bang on the door and it opens to reveal a very disheveled looking Merlin. Pushing away thoughts of what was probably happening before I opened the door I frown "We need to figure out how to get rid of the ghost and fast. I don't know what he is planning but its not good." Merlin nods running a hand through his hair "Come in, Gaius already dropped off any books he could find on the horn of cathbhadh and he's going to search the library for any more." I nod slightly and walk into the room hugging Arthur "Are you alright?" I nod "I think so, Uther paid me a visit but other than that I'm alright."

He pulls away holding me at arms length "Did he hurt you? What did he say? Are you alright?" I smile slightly "I'm alright. He threatened Merlin and me, but he didn't hurt me." he nods slightly turning to Merlin "I'll go and check on Morgana and bring her here. She's probably still pretty shook up." he kisses my cheek then Merlin on the lips before leaving "You would make a wonderful king." he flushes "What? King? No that's not possible. Is it? I mean I'm not royalty, I love Arthur but we've never really talked about that sort of thing. We've not been dating for very long..." I laugh "Sorry for bringing it up. But its true." he laughs "I don't think the kingdom would support two kings. No heir. I can't do that to Arthur he loves his kingdom and his people I can't turn them against him."

I walk over to him taking his hands in mine "Listen to me Merlin. Arthur loves you very much. More than his kingdom. I think the kingdom could do with some change and you would be an amazing ruler. You are kind, caring, you think of everyone and you have magic so you know what it feels like to have to hide meaning you would know how to properly treat criminals." he smiles slightly squeezing my hands "Thank you Y/N that means a lot." I smile and we walk over to the table where there are several large dusty volumes. "We'd best get reading." I laugh sitting down pulling the closest book towards me "Yep."
