The King

Arthur's POV

"Run!" I yelled to the patrol as the bandits came running out of the woods, yelling and screaming and waving their swords in the air.

I took one on, easily and swiftly defeating him. I conquered a few more, as did my men, and either the bandits were dead, or they had fled. I looked around, taking account of all my Knights, and then I see... Merlin. Hiding next to a tree. I put my hand on my waist and look menacingly at him

"Merlin! This is not hide and seek!" He frowns slightly, then smiles, that cute, geeky smile that has many times saved him from the stocks.

He gets up and wipes the dirt and leaves from his shirt and trousers, and walks up to me. He smiles again, and I roll my eyes. I clench my teeth, trying not to smile.

"Get on the horse." I point toward a white horse with brown and black splotches, and icy blue eyes.

The Knights and I mount our horses, and Merlin, the idiot, follows us back to Camelot.

Merlin's POV

I'm cleaning Arthur's room, AGAIN. He's sitting at his desk doing paperwork, while I'm picking up his trousers and armor, when there's a knock on the door.

"Enter" he sighs, throwing down the paperwork.

Gwen entered. She smiled at Arthur and I, and walked in her King's direction. Arthur nodded at Gwen, and then at me, to excuse me. I bowed my head slightly and started to walk out of the room.

"Wait! Let him stay. This mess that you call a room needs tidying, Arthur."

He nodded again, and I continued cleaning, listening intently to their conversation. Gwen smirked at Arthur.

Gwen: "There's something I have to tell you."

Arthur: "Yes, My love?"

Gwen: What colors do you want the nursery to be? Red and Yellow? Blue?

Arthur: Guinevere?

Gwen: *smirks*

"Congratulations!!" I yelled. I couldn't help it.

Then I looked at Arthur. His smile, he was going to assign me something new.

"Merlin" He said while smirking, "I'll need a nanny, a designer, and send Gaius to my chambers."

I slouched, "Yes sire." Arthur smirked again as I walked out, and when I got to the end of the hall, I heard Gwen and Arthur laughing.

I went into town, finding a nice girl called Freya. She had a little experience being a nanny, so I decided to bring her to the castle for training.

"So, what's your name?" I asked

"Freya" she responded

She walked with me as I went to Corinth's house, the town designer.

Freya's POV

I joined Merlin inside Corinth's house, but I just waited at the side, while Corinth and Merlin talked.

"Well who is this young lady?" Corinth said. Merlin looked at me and nodded.

"I'm.. Freya. I'm to be the young prince's nanny." I smiled sweetly, even though I was nervous.

Corinth smiled and turned back to Merlin. We weren't there for much longer, but Corinth came with us when we left.

"It will take awhile to make the room perfect, but we do have a lot of time." Corinth said to Merlin.

They quickly got Gaius, and rushed into Arthur's chambers, and got to work.
