I am in the castle.

Merlin is with me. I'm going to ask.

"Hey, some of the other serving girls were saying that you guard King Arthur while he sleeps every night! Is that true?" I ask.

"Yes, he needs all the protection he can get now he's King." He tells me.

"True." I say. "Listen, I was just wondering if you might want to take a break? I could guard him tonight for you, if you're okay with that?"

"Yeah that would be great!" He says, grinning from ear to ear. "I haven't had a full night's sleep in months! Thanks!"

"No problem." I say, smiling. But inside I'm dying. When I kill Arthur, Merlin will probably blame himself. He will think it was his fault for letting an (almost) stranger access Arthur's chambers. Oh well, there's no going back now.
