The Prince's Return (A Prince Merlin AU )

Chapter 18

Merlin POV

   As I opened my eyes I lifted myself from Morgana and sat up in bed. Shaking my head as I tried not to think about previous events. My thoughts were interrupted as Morgana wrapped her hands around my neck from behind.

"Morning Lyn." She greeted me with a peck on my cheek.

I smiled at my nickname. "Your not gonna stop calling me that are you?" I asked her.

" Let me think.....Nope!" She joked.

I smirked. As I spread my arms out in the air and fell backwards on top of her. She started laughing."Merlin get off of me." She grunted.

Turning around I laid my head on her chest. "But your so comfortable and warm." I mumbled. "Just for five minutes."

Playing with my hair she responded. "Only if we talk about what happened yesterday." Lifting my head back up , I plopped back down on my back.

Sighing. "Fine." I replied as I pushed myself against my pillows. Morgana did the same. "When you guys left and we opened the door and went upstairs, the room was empty. The only thing that was there was an open casket in the middle of the room and a picture frame on the windowsill." I explained.

She looked surprised." What was in the casket?" She asked.

I chuckled. "Don't worry it wasn't a dead body." She looked relived.

" it was clothing, shoes and toys. I was confused and that's when I found the family portrait of all of us with Alise." I said as I turned to look at her." Then while I was fighting James he mentioned her and how he put her in a coma because of me and wiped our memory of her ."I finished.

She looked at me in worry."What's wrong?" I asked.

" I don't know, it just feels like there's more to the story that someone's not telling us."

She was probably right. There's only one thing my family can keep hidden until they want it found and that's Secrets. " I just hope I find out and get to here before James come back. " I responded.

"True.... anyways we should get ready and go see the others." She said she put one leg over me.

" You don't seem like your in a hurry." I laughed.

"I'm not I could of sworn I was." She said sarcastically.

"Come here" I said grabbing her hands and pulling her back onto the ground.

She gasped. As I leaned into a ravishing kissed. Following my lead our lips were in synced. Leaving her lips wanting more I brought my own to her neck as I left tingles cross her collarbone.

The sensation we were feeling came to an end as the door opened. To my surprise it was none other than Arthur. "Merlin the rest of the knights and I are deciding whe-" He stopped himself when he saw the position we were in.

I didn't look up just yet so I couldn't see his amazing expression. Laughing as I got up. "You forgot to close the door love." I said.

" Oops! I could of sworn I did." She smirked.

"I should probably go." Arthur said awkwardly as he left.

Morgana and I looked at each other and started laughing. "Duty calls." She sang.

I smiled as I got dress and left the room. When I got to the dinning hall I sat down next to the others. " Next time knock." I laughed.

He nodded." Anyways you were going to decide when to leave?"

Arthur was about to respond when Sir Devin came rushing in. " Easy there Dev." I said.

" Your highness your audience is requested at the moment." He explained.

"I'll be right there. And we'll discuss the titles later." I ordered

"Yes you- I mean Merlin." He answered.

Upon arriving to the throne room I sat down next to my brother as Morgana stood by my side while the rest of the knights stood by my brother. " Let them in." I ordered.

As two figure with cloaks walked in the room. I was confused. As the woman took off her cloak she was in tears. I was about to ask what's wrong when I got interrupted. As who ever she had came with held her with a knife at her throat.

' Your to slow Emyrs.'

My eyes went wide as I stood up. Mordrid's hood came off showing his face. He whispered something in her ears as she was about to speak. Gasps were heard as my knights drew their swords. " My name is Alise and by the order of King James..." she stifled. " if you do not make your way to Camelot in the ....the n-next hour....m-m-my death will be on your hands." My eyes went wide.

'No this couldn't be happen'

" And you tell James if I even smell or see a whiff of her blood on him or if he touches a pebble or stone of Camelot he will be slaughtered by my hands alone. And this time he won't be able to return." I shouted as rage and anger built up in me even more.
