To Love A Prince

The Moment Of Truth

While riding to save Molly, Merlin looked at Arthur who was way out in front of him, "Arthur, have you ever wondered why Molly has disappeared? Maybe she did want you to find her because of who she really is." Merlin spoke nervously bitting his lip as he did. Arthur looked round to Merlin, "What did you say, Merlin?" He hissed as he turned round to face Merlin.

Merlin jumped as he heard the kings voice, "Sire, Molly is a high priestess maybe she knows that you will find out and execute her and not only that she knows the laws of Camelot ." Merlin explained as he caught up with Arthur who gave Merlin a dark look, "Merlin, I know she has magic but there is no way she is a high priestess. I have already promised her when we build Albion magic will no longer be outlawed but until then she will have to just keep her magic hidden." Arthur spoke with a slight chill in his voice.

Mean while in the tower Molly was learning all about dark magic she was reading a book Morgana had given her about how to use her dark magic to kill or torture but deep down Molly did not want to kill Arthur he was after all her husband and he had promised her that he would bring magic back to Camelot once they had built Albion.

I can't kill Arthur, I love him to much but what if I was to practice this dark magic and use it against Morgana herself. Morgana would never expect that from me then I will have to tell Arthur what I really am but that will be okay at least then I have killed Morgana before anything else.

Molly battled with her thoughts as Mordred came in to her room, "Molly, Morgana wants you." He smiled to her as he watched her reading the book Morgana gave her, "Thank you, Mordred." Molly smiled at him then placed her book on the side and went to go find Morgana.

In the woods Arthur looked around and found Molly's red jacket the one he gave to her for when they went hunting, "MERLIN!!" He bellowed and jumped off his horse to get the jacket, "You called?" Merlin replied then saw Arthur running towards Molly's red jacket, "Arthur!" He called as Arthur retrieved the jacket and brought it back.

"That is lady Molly's jacket, is it not?" Merlin questioned, "Yes, Merlin." Arthur replied to his servant, "Then what is it doing here?" Merlin asked as he inspected the jacket then found a note attached to the inside of the jacket, "Arthur, look." Merlin pulled the note from inside of the jacket and gave it to Arthur.

Arthur frowned when Merlin gave the note which read:

Arthur, I never wanted you to find out this way but come to the Dark Tower alone do not bring Merlin with you if you do Morgana will kill him, I left my jacket here because I knew you would find it and realise I am not in danger but I know you and Merlin are. Morgana wants to kill you both especially you Arthur but I will not let her.

All the best my love.

Molly

Arthur looked at Merlin, "Merlin, you need to turn back. Do not argue with me just turn around and ride back to Camelot." He ordered Merlin who looked at him, "Arthur, you can't do this alone what if Molly tries to kill you?" Merlin protested as Arthur rolled his eyes, "Merlin, Molly won't kill me but you will be the one dead if you come with me, Molly needs me and if she Is a high priestess then maybe she can be the only one to kill Morgana." Arthur explained to his servant.

Merlin sighed at Arthur's words, "Why would Molly kill her own kind? Morgana is the only one like her she wouldn't kill her for you, Arthur." He looked at the king and bit his lip, "I swore that I would always protect Molly and I will not break a promise on the word of my servant! I would never execute Molly just on the account that she has magic, you don't know her like I do, Merlin and if you did you wouldn't judge her! Now go or it will be your head!" He darkly spoke then rode off to the tower leaving Merlin by himself.

As Arthur approached the tower he looked around and shivered slightly while he rode nearer he saw Cenred around as Cenred saw him and gave a dark smile, "Well well Molly's prince charming has come to rescue her." He chuckled as Arthur ignored him and went in to the tower to find Molly sitting in the throne room, "Molls!" He cried as Molly jumped off the chair and ran to him, "Arthur!" she cried and hugged him then saw Morgana standing behind him, "Is the queen going to tell her beloved king what she is?" Morgana pipped up and went to sit in the throne along with Mordred beside her.

Arthur looked at Molly and held her tightly round her waist, "Molly, what is wrong?' He whispered to her and placed a finger under her chin as Molly looked to him with a sigh, "Arthur, I am a high priestess. Merlin was right about me." She spoke to him then showed him the mark. Arthur let her go and looked at her, "You are one of them?" He spoke trying to be calm as Morgana gave him a dark smile then spoke, "Go on Molly. Kill him!" She hissed to her as Molly looked at Arthur then back to Morgana, "No, Morgana, I would never kill him! I may be a priestess but I never want to be one like you. I want to be one that can help destroy evil!" Molly cried and casted a dark spell hitting Mordred as Arthur stood there and smiled as he heard Moly's words while he walked over to her and took his hand, "I am glad to have you by my side." He whispered watching Morgana running towards Mordred, "Mordred!!" She cried and found him laying on the ground bleeding from his chest, "Morgana... I was proud to serve you." He spoke weakly as Morgana looked around to find Arthur and Molly had disappeared, "I will heal you, Mordred and then I will make you a sword that when we go to war you will be able to kill that little brother of mine and leave his beautiful queen alone and helpless especially with a child." Morgana smiled evilly as she was patching up Mordred's wound as Mordred looked at her, "But my lady her son will take over Camelot and he will be no different to Arthur. Magic will still be outlawed." Mordred pointed out as Morgana finished her patching, "Not if we have anything to do with it, he is after all part magic it will be up to him to accept the magic or not." She smiled.
