To Love A Prince

Under A Spell

"Merlin! Alice!" Gaius cried as he tried to wake Merlin and Alice up.

Merlin groaned as he got up as he went up to the window, he saw the rain hitting the window like little pebbles. He smiled as he saw his love sleeping he didn't want to wake her but he knew their duties to the king and queen came first.

"Alice." He spoke in a soothing whisper.

Alice smiled as she heard Merlin's voice, Merlin smiled and helped her up but Alice didn't seem herself .

"Are you okay sweet love?" Merlin asked as he saw Alice daydreaming out the window.

"Yes, I am fine. Why shouldn't I be." She looked deep in to Merlin's blue eyes.

"Just wondered, I will leave you to get ready, we need to help Arthur and Molly today."

"Ok." Alice spoke as she got her dress ready, when Merlin mentioned Arthur, Alice started to think.

"Arthur....my handsome king..." Alice smiled as she got dressed and went to greet Merlin and Gaius.

"What took you so long ?" Merlin asked as he was watching Alice's every move.

"Just the lace on my dress, my sweet." She lied as Merlin gave her some breakfast.

"Here have some breakfast, we are going  to need it, we are looking after the prince today." Merlin smiled.

"Oh how come?" Alice asked as she ate her breakfast.

"The King and Queen are going hunting." Gaius spoke as Merlin rooted around for his coat.

Alice sighed as she finished her breakfast and started to walk to the royal chambers.

"Coming Merlin?" She called as Merlin followed behind her while putting on his coat.

As they reached the royal chambers they heard Molly giggling.

"Arthur stop it, you know I don't like being tickled." Her dedicated voice ran like music through Merlin's ears but for Alice they where like shards of ice.

Merlin knocked on the door as Alice spoke through gritted teeth.

"Come on." She spoke as Molly answered the door.

"Merlin, Alice." She smiled as Alice brushed pasted her and Merlin bowed. Molly smiled she ran back to Arthur who was trying to find his comb.

"Sire, is this what your looking for?" Alice picked up his comb.

Arthur walked over to her and took the comb out of her hand and politely spoke.

"Thank you." He spoke as Alice looked at him as he walked over to Molly  who was changing behind her screen.

"Molls hurry up!" He knocked on her screen.

"Im finished anyway." Molly giggled as she stepped out in her hunting clothes.

"Still perfect." Arthur spoke as Merlin's jaw dropped.

"Oh Merlin, could you help Alice today? " Molly asked.

"Sure, looking after the young prince would be an honour." Merlin bowed.

"Merlin." Arthur's voice came from behind Molly.

Merlin smiled as he saw the king and queen leave arm in arm to where there horses were.

"You look amazing." Arthur whispered to Molly as his knights waited for them.

Molly smiled  as she mounted her prized stallion, Arthur who climbed on his horse looked at Molly.

"Shall we?" He asked.

"Let's go." Molly rode out of the citadel along with Arthur, Gwaine and Leon.

As Molly rode in front, the knights and Arthur looked round.

"She looks amazing sire, for a mother she is radiant." Leon spoke as Arthur looked as his wife was tracking down a deer.

As Molly cornered the deer, Arthur pulled his bow and shot the deer Molly looked at him as he proudly smiled at her. 

Arthur looked around and found a quiet, glowing river as he pulled Molly over he called his knights.

"Leon, Gwaine." He called as the knights came over.

"Yes sire?" They answered.

"Could you go back to Camelot, Me and the queen are going alone to hunt." He smiled.

"Okay sire." They bowed and rode back to Camelot.

Arthur looked around for Molly, all he could see was flowers and woodland.

"Molly!!!" He bellowed as he looked around near the lake , Molly crept round behind him.

"Arthur!" She whispered as she grabbed Arthur and pulled him behind a tree.

Arthur chuckled as he pressed her against the tree. Molly looked deep in to his eyes as Arthur brushed his thumb against her bottom lip.

Molly responded by putting her hands on Arthur's waist, as she pulled him in for a long and passionate kiss.

"Are the King and Queen of Camelot happy?" A female voice spoke out.

Arthur jumped as Molly held him tightly.

"Whose there?!" Arthur bellowed as Molly looked around.

"Your one true love Arthur Pendragon." The voice called.

Arthur looked at Molly as Molly looked back.

"I already have a queen and an heir." Arthur shouted.

Then Molly whispered to Arthur.

"I recognise the voice."

"As do I."Arthur looked round as he heard twigs snap.

"Declare yourself." He pointed his sword as Alice came out and kissed him.

"Alice?!?" Molly gasped as she saw Alice with her arms round Arthur.

Arthur pushed Alice off, as he gave a dirty look.

"Keep your filthy servant hands off my husband!" Molly used her magic to throw her in to a tree, Arthur ran over to Molly.

"I think we going to have to find you a new maid." Arthur held Molly as she cried in to his arms.

Molly nodded as Arthur placed his finger under her chin and wiped her tears with the pad of his thumb as he softly placed a kiss on her lips.

Then Molly's mother senses kicked in if Alice was here where was baby Arthur?

"Arthur!!!!" A voice echoed in the woods, Molly looked around and found Merlin.

"My lady, Sire." Merlin bowed and Molly didn't see her son in Merlin's arms.

"Where is my son?!" She screamed as Arthur held her tightly.

"It's Alice she's in league with Morgana." Merlin panted as Arthur's eyes widened.

"So where is my son!!!!" Molly tore out of Arthur's grasped and held a knife to Merlin.

"Alice took him to Morgana." Merlin cried.

"And you let her!?!?!" Arthur shouted.

"Alice said she was taking him for a walk." Merlin stuttered as Arthur fumed.

"Well you do know Merlin that your girlfriend tried to have it off with my husband." Molly exclaimed.

Merlin looked at Arthur in shocked as Arthur nodded.

"That will explain why she acted weirdly this morning when she saw you two leave hand in hand." Merlin stated.

"I have no time for this!" Molly ran to her horse and mounted him and Arthur did the same.

"You coming Merlin?" Arthur spoke calmly.

"If you want me to sire." Merlin quietly spoke.

"Of course, Molly will calm down, I will talk to her." Arthur assured Merlin.

Molly rode next to Arthur as the three made their way to Morgana's kingdom.
