MERLIN'S P.O.V

————————

Once i helped Arthur out of his armour, i starter to help chase out of his. "i have to go and tell people that there is a small feast tonight, Merlin, be a good servant for once" Arthur said walking out of the room "cant make any promises" i say back to him, but he was already out of the room.

"sire, stop, i can get out of my own armour" chase said slightly pushing me off of him and started getting his own armour off. the others did the same. "so how bad is Mieldor right now?" i asked, i was slightly scared of the answer. "it's, different" Ben said, "ya, the people are now separated by their rankings" Eric said.

"What does that mean?" i asked confused. "I mean, sire, that only people in the same rank can talk to each other, unless your a servant to someone." Chase said, " Ellios never did like anyone below him" i said, thinking out loud. they nodded in agreement. "when do you plan to go back to Mieldor?" i asked, wanting to know when my identity would be a secret no more.

"in a day or two, it all depends on what the king says" Ben said. once they were all out of there armour we walked back up to their rooms. some people-mostly knights- gave us strange looks, since we were acting as if we were best friends. we are best friends, but nobody knows that yet.

once we got to their rooms, we said goodbye and i left to go get Arthur ready for the 'feast'.

i didn't even bother to knock. i don't care when i come in, unless he's doing something with Gwen, that's when i mind what i see. "MERLIN!" "yes sire?" "knock next time will you" i make it look like i was thinking then ''no" i said walking over to his wardrobe. "pick something nice out will you'' i rolled my eyes at him, but he didn't see. good.

"so you don't mind that their prince is a warlock?" i asked, picking out his red top and jacket. "of course i mind Merlin, magic and anyone who uses it is, but i cant back out on my word"  his words stung. if only he knew how much his words hurt sometimes.

"what do you think of magic merlin?" Arthur asked turning to take his shirt and jacket. "i do not think it wise of me to say" i said, not wanting to insult him that much, and not wanting to expose myself just yet. "why?" "because my opinion is very different from yours" i said simply walking towards the door.

but before i could get out, he grabbed my elbow, "you will tell me your opinion" he demanded. his eyes staring into mine. i nodded slightly. "good'' he said, loosening his grip on my arm.

"i think your an idiot for not excepting magic. like i said before, magic isn't evil, only the people who use it are. and you not being able to understand that is just absolutely idiotic. half the wars we have at Camelot, are because of you ad your decision on not accepting magic." i said, Arthur looked confused and surprised at my answer.

"so you think that magic is good?" he asked, surprise in his voice. i nodded. "now sire, we have to go to the little feast" i opened the door for him, he walked out of his room, and started going to the throne room.  i followed after him, feeling bad-but good- about what i had said.

———————————————————————————————-

we were half way into the 'feast' when Ben let something about my princely  hood slip. "thank you sire" he said, but he-along with  the rest of us-froze in our spots. sadly he was the closet to the king, so Arthur heard it.

"what did you just say?" Arthur asked, eyeing the 4 of us suspiciously. "i said..........uh.. thank you for the feast sire" Ben said, shifting uncomfortably in his chair. "Oh, well your welcome sir Ben" Arthur said, his face becoming lighter buy the minute. i-and the other knights- let out a sigh of relief, that made Arthur look at us suspiciously again.

'im so glad Ben was a good liar' i thought walking over to a corner.

THIRD PERSON P.O.V

——————————————————————

For the rest of the night Arthur looked at Merlin and the three knights differently. ever since Ben let something slip, they got uncomfortable. and that made Arthur suspicious. he was so going to ask Merlin about it later. for now, he was just going to enjoy the 'feast'.

"so, sire, when are we going to go to Mieldor?" Chase asked the king.  "tomorrow evening'' he said, nodding at the knights. "okay, but we must warn you, our land is a magical one, and there might be something's you wont understand" Eric said, needing the king to know what they would face in their kingdom. "alright" was all that he said in reply. "i think im going to end the feast if you don't mind" Arthur said standing up.

"men, the feast has been great, but it is time to end it. for we have to leave for Mieldor tomorrow evening" Arthur said, his voice filling the room. everyone nodded and started walking towards there chambers.

Merlin helped Arthur back to his room, knowing he would need help. "so merlin" Arthur slerd slightly, "what was with you and those knights?" he asked, Merlin froze slightly. "nothing sire, go to bed" he said, rushing Arthur to his bed. "right okay, but make sure everything is in order tomorrow" the king said before passing out on his bed.

Merlin rolled his eyes. he tucked the king into bed before leaving his chambers. The young warlock made his way back to his and Gaius's chambers, opening the door as quietly as he could, as to not disturb the old man. luckily Merlin was trained in stealth since he was a little boy.

He made it to his room and fell on his bed. he was too tired to do anything, yet he could not sleep. he tossed and turned in his bed all night, but as he was doing that, he was thinking of what could go wrong once they find out who he is.

maybe they wont accept him.

what would happen to his home here in Camelot?

would he stay in Mieldor or go back to Camelot?

would Arthur hate him for being a warlock?

can he get his kingdom back?

all these thoughts and questions ran through his head, not allowing him to sleep. once morning came, he was too tired to do anything right, which was not going to be fun for anyone.
