the lost prince

feast

ARTHUR'S P.O.V

——————————————

Merlin looked like a real king on his throne. he looked happy to be home. and i am happy for him, but what happens know? i mean he will most likely stay here and im not making him my servant again. But i don't want to live a life without him. as cliché as this sounds, i really cant imagine my life without him. at first i would have had no problem leaving him for another servant, but know, i wouldn't even think about it.

But since he is a king, he must stay here and protect his kingdom. i guess i will never see him again after i leave. and what hurts the most is that i figured out that i loved him. i know how wrong it is for a man-never the less a king- to love another man, who is also a king.

But with all these thought in my head, i kept a smile on my face for Merlin.

''how about a feast for the return of the king?" Eric yelled at Merlin "how can i refuse food?" Merlin said back with a grin. "Make sure my friends from Camelot get a nice play to stay, help them get ready for the feast" Merlin said to some men and women-who i am guessing are servants- and they motioned us to follow them to some rooms.

i was the first one to get a room, and the room was magnificent. it was pretty big, a bit bigger then mine actually. the bed was the same size as mine but the sheets were a nice dark blue with some blue circular pillows and some white pillows. on the side of the room was a big closet filled with shirts, pants and other accessories that i would need. close to the middle of the room was a rather large table with a few chairs and some fruit. Next to the bowl of fruit were two very beautiful golden candle sticks, they were beautifully decorated with engravings at the top.

the only other things in here were a screen for getting dressed,-it was dark blue as well- a mirror and a very beautiful chandelier hanging above the table. Merlin's family sure know how to decorate.

There was a knock on the door and then the noise of the door opening. "hello? sir Pendragon?" called a mans voice, he had the same accent as Merlin but weaker, i turn around to see a man at least two years younger then me. "oh! King Arthur! My king has sent me to help prepare you for the feast" He said smiling at me, i nodded. "wait? why did he send you?" i asked the man, "The king said that you couldn't dress your self" he said smiling a lot, obviously trying to keep in a laugh.

"what's your name?" "Julian sire" "right, Julian, go tell Merlin that i can dress myself. ok?" Julian nodded and ran off. "i can dress myself" i mumbled to myself before walking over to the dresser. i opened it to find so many clothes.

what do you do in your spare time Merlin?

I picked out a nice dark red shirt and kept my trousers on. i took off my shirt with a bit of struggle, its not my fault the shirt hole got stuck, it was my ears fault. I reached for my shirt and stared at it. what was i supposed to do? Merlin always did this, its not my job. But i guess it is now.

i picked up the shirt and put it over my head. my head just barley went through the hole, dammit. i tried to remove it but my arms were stuck. Merlin made it look so easy.

"knock knock!" some one yelled through the door before opening it. i knew it was Merlin before he even opened the door. "hahahaha! what the hell did you do?" Merlin asked laughing. ''i tried to dress myself" i said "i told Julian to help you, but he said you could dress yourself. i guess he was wrong" Merlin said walking over to me and taking the shirt off. "here" he said and put the shirt on properly.

"thanks" i said looking at myself in the mirror. "its time for the feast Ar-" Before Merlin could finish what he was saying i pushed him up against the wall. "A-Arthur?" he asked blushing, "i have a idea before the feast starts" i said leaning in, i felt Merlin's breath on my lips, we were so close to kissing.

But some one knocked on the door. we both jumped apart and saw Julian walk through the door. "it is time for then feast sires" he said walking out, Merlin and i followed him to the throne room. dam, i was so close to kissing him. ill get him later though.

The feast has been wonderful. the food was amazing, the entertainment was very,well entertaining and the people are so very nice. everyone here is treated the same, and know it s time for Merlin's speech of something.

"Thank you everyone for coming. As you all know i have been gone for many years, and i am sorry. i wanted to fight for my kingdom, But my father insisted i get my mother and i to safety, so that one day the kingdom would have a king. My father died not too many years ago in my arms, and my mother died not too long ago as well. And i hope to fill the spot of King of Mieldor. I hope not to let you down. thank you for coming to the feast, for it is over."

After Merlin's speech everyone left to go to sleep for it was very late. on my way to my room i started to realize how blind I've been. Merlin has shown so many signs of having magic, and i have never seen them.

when i went on my adventure, the bridge keeper said that i needed strength and magic to help me, i cant believe i never thought that Merlin would have magic. And when Balinour died in his arms, that's why he cried. im such an idiot! i even told him not to cry over him.

i hope he forgave me. i wouldn't be able to live with myself if he didn't.

i have to go to sleep and get these thoughts out of my head.
