Prince Merlin

Untitled Part 2

Merlin and the kings are sitting in the tavern, laughing and goofing off.

"Oi, Merlin why aren't drinking something mate you okay?" Gwaine asks, feeling a bit concerned about his friend.

Merlin looks around, landing his eyes on the knights, and hesitantly smile, " Nah its okay gwaine, I do not really feel like drinking today", bashfully shaking his head he teases " someone will have to be the conscious, so you all brutes won't get into braw"

All of the kights laugh, when Arthur affectionately puts Merlin in a chokehold, " really brutes, Merlin, brutes!" Arthur asks with feigned hurt.

Merlin bites his lip, to keep him from laughing out loud, nodding vigorously his head. Arthur rolls his eyes affectionately and releases Merlin.

Merlin is about to respond to the knights when a huge commotion unravels in the tavern.

Arthur and the knights quickly and with efficiently get their swords out, and get ready to fight whoever the villain might be.

Arthur, taking hold of the situation, loudly asks " What is going on?"

A young dame, in her 30s, bows a little before addressing the king, " My lord" Arthur nods at her, and withdraws his sword, motioning the knights to do so as well. " The king and queens of Andor, and the king, queen, and prince of Dreatha are outside"

Arthur a bit shell-shocked looks at her, and replies " well let them in" the lady bows again, and Arthur then orders everyone else to leave the royalty, knights and their servant alone.

The story of Dreatha is magical, almost everyone knows of it. A magical land where magic is allowed, A castle worth 4 of camelots, the greenery, the beauty, the life of Dreatha is a tale of dreams. The kingdom had no quarrels with anyone, no problems, well that was still 4 years ago, an unfortunate day indeed.

The kingdom had 3 princes, a princess, one unfortunate  night they were ambushed, and the kind and queen passed away trying to protect the people. Nobel way to die indeed. The princess was at her husband's kingdom, the oldest son was crowned the next King. Sometime during the ambush, the youngest prince got 'lost', and no one has seen, heard from him ever since.

The truth if being told no one knows exactly what went down and no one was cruel enough o ask the rulers, So, therefore, understandably everyone was a bit overwhelmed, excited and nervous about meeting the rulers.

Unknown to everyone, Merlin stood up and with red eyes, looking over a knife. He shocks his head vigorously, when reached the knights and spoke softly, "Erm, guys I am gonna go, and retire to my chamber"

That Broke every one of the haze, and the knight looked at Merlin weirdly, Looking softly knight Leon spoke up, " No Merlin stay, there is no need for you to leave"

Merlin sagged at that and was about to say something when the rulers from other kingdoms entered, Merlin quickly ran behind, Percival hoping to stay hidden until he could find an escape.

The kind and knights gave merlin weird looks but decided to not question it this very second.

Arthur stepped forward, to introduce himself, and motioned to do the same for the Knights. The Knights moved one by one, bowing and introducing to the rulers.

The said rulers looked tired and felt empty, as today it was the anniversary of the missing prince, but knew they could not, should not be rude.

Percival stepped up last, bowing gently addressing himself. when Merlin very subtly moved behidnd Arthur.

Arthur gave harsh glances to Merlin, he could not understand why was his vibrant, energetic, sometimes annoying friend seemed to shy today. Then he realized, that maybe he was nervous, seeing how all of the other servants were outside.

Arthur laughed inside, Everyone knew Merlin was Arthur and Gwen and the knight's closet friend, . He gently grabbed Merlin's arm, giving him a reassuring glance and moved him forward the ruler, who was about to introduce themselves.

Merlin wanted to cry, scream, hit when Arthur pushed him toward his- his- his family, no no no this can't be happening oh god please no.

All hell broke when the rulers/family saw Merlin.They all had paled noticeably when princess/queen with black hair took a hesitant stepped forward and cupped merlins cheek. Tears openly flowing out of her eyes. Desperately, she tried to say something but unfortunately whenever she did, her Throat clammed up.

The Knights ( Arthur as well ) looked shocked and they were about to interrupt when, A man with blue eyes, stepped forward and furiously hugged Merlin.

Merlin struggles and tries to wiggle out of his stupid, ignorant, annoying, royal brother's hold. when he finally pulled apart and ,The man screamed at Merlin.

" Merlin Nickolas Caledonensis Ambrosius Shadowbane" Everyone in the room flinched, He was about to add more " Wher", when abruptly stooped his brother and looked up his brother, and coldly replies " Actually it is just Merlin, now"
