Arthur and Merlin knew each other now a year and both had a close bond. There was as well the fact that at some point of this year Arthur accidentally found out that Merlin had magic and was destined to protect him. This led to them just be more closer. The two were seen almost never alone. Even Uther realized this and at some point, and even the said male started to respect Merlin. 

His father could see how loyal he was to his son and that was why he wasn't doing anything against it. It got to the point that Uther started to considerate what Merlin told him about magic and he knew deep down that the said young adult was right. 

Uther loosened the law slightly. As long as the person using magic to heal someone from a sickness that a physician couldn't help anymore he allowed it.

Merlin wasn't sure how to react to this and he was feeling that something was off about the princess which was visiting Camelot. Anastacia was one of the people who maybe would marrying Arthur. Of course, the said prince wasn't liking this, but there was nothing he could do. 

It was decided that princess Anastacia would stay for a week and the weird thing was that since she was there she always called him. He, of course, was brushing it off until the next evening he was trapped and he felt some soft lips on his. His eyes widen now and something was not right.

"Come with me."

The voice was like honey to his ears, and the forest green eyes were hypnotic. His hand was taken by a bit smaller one. He nodded as he got lead toward the sleeping room of the princess. His mind was feeling fuzzy and he couldn't really think straight.

It felt not alright. This wasn't alright and he felt like he was betraying Arthur. That was why he muttered a soft sorry as telling her that he couldn't do this and scrambling away after he wore his clothes. He wasn't even stopping when the princess was calling him. What the hell was this? The thought alone made him shudder and he felt disgusted at him. This was just nope. Yuck, and he wasn't even attracted to females. What the actual hell? At some point, he started to doze off not realizing that there was a shadow creeping up on him...

A week and Arthur was really not sure what to think. His manservant was constantly with Anastacia and his eyes were dead and glazy. Almost as he was just controlled. His movements, his words, everything felt like he was controlled. And he wasn't talking to anyone, and sometimes Merlin was not talking at all. There was as well the fact that Merlin was being different as well. He ignored him entirely and it was ticking him off. And he wasn't sure why but seeing the two lovely dovely made him just more pissed off.

He was getting more anxious and something wasn't right. There was as well something a pendant which he was fiddling with. But as soon as Anastacia was looking at him, he stopped instantly. That was why after a week he had it and decided to drag Merlin away from her.

"Sorry, but I need my Manservant."

Anastacia was looking at him with a glare, and he glared back. Merlin was silent and looked like he wasn't much there.

"Fine. Honey just go with him."

The said male was nodding and giving her a bright smile and a kiss on her lips. He huffed out and taking the wrist and dragging him into his room.  Something wasn't right as he hadn't said anything this week. 

"Alright take this necklace off now."

Merlin shook his head and looking at him with an annoyed expression. This was making him just narrowed his eyes at him.

"Take it off."

As an answer, he saw him shook his head once more.

"Stop being silent. And as your prince, I command you to take this off now."

Arthur guessed by now this was the cause of Merlin's silence and being obedient to this princess. Maybe it was some kind of charm and he would bet all his wealth that this was the cause of one.

"You didn't want it any different."

Merlin started to stare blankly at him, but there was a moment that showed some pleading emotions in his eyes. But that disappeared as soon as it came. He stepped towards and Merlin stepped back. He jumped on him and they both started to fight on the ground. Arthur now realized how much he missed the wit willed male. Another thing he realized why he was feeling angry...jealousy. That was the reason why he felt like this. 

Arthur decided that he would use a shocking moment and pinned him down as he pressed his lips on Merlin. The said male froze and had a wide-eyed look. He ripped this damn thing away from Merlin and stood up as throwing it with so much force that it was breaking. Merlin was still frozen and soon sitting up. For a moment there was a bright gold on his pupils and he blinked at this. Something always told him that Merlin had some magic. 

He usually was pushing it aside, but this time he couldn't. Of course, he felt hurt and betrayed but he knew the reason why his friend and crush had hidden it. His father wouldn't have allowed it. But maybe now it would be different. His father liked Merlin after all.

"Ew."

Was what he heard. The voice was scratchy and it was clear that he hadn't used his voice in a while. His heart was feeling hurt at this.

"I can't believe that this hag forced herself on me and having the audacity to used  a charm on me."

This made him feel relieved as he stared at his manservant who stood up. He saw him turn around, but soon swirling around and walking up at him. The hench of his shirt was pulled and he felt lips pressing on his. His thoughts froze at this, but he kissed back. Sadly it was short-lived.

"I will get her for this..."

Merlin muttered under his breath and dashed away. His face flushed deeply and he watched Merlin dash outside...

Merlin just now realized that he kissed Arthur but this could wait later on. The said male for sure liked him back, or why else was he kissing him back. He huffed out as he almost bumped into someone. His eyes glanced at the person to see that it was Gwaine.

"Sorry don't have time for some chit chat. I have a hag to go to."

He replied with an annoyed huff as he continued to rush. Gwaine blinked and stared at him and he heard footsteps following him.

"Oi, Merlin what was this week?"

He glanced for a moment to Gwaine who looked at him with an expression that told him that he needed to explain.

"Was charmed by that hag. I will make her pay."

Gwaine blinked and soon looked angry. He let out a sigh, knowing that he would follow him.

"Promise me not to tell anyone what will happen in the room."

The questioned male nodded and they continued to walk. He entered the room and Gwaine right after him. He heard the door closed and he knew that Gwaine was leaning on the door.

"You."

Anastacia had a startled expression and he could see that she was as well not slightly nervous.

"How dare you to force yourself on me and use a charm. Do you have any idea who you just charmed?"

His voice held some edge and the two people in the room heard how angry- no scratch this- how furious he was with Anastacia.

"As if you can escape the charm. It's after all still active. Even without that pendant."

Merlin's eyes flashed into a golden and he knew that she was right about this, but she forgot a fact. That real love can break that charm. So he smirked as she saw her expression change from smug to fearful.

"You just charmed Emrys the one who was said to be the strongest warlock walking on earth."

He sneered and in an instant, he used a spell. Let's just say that the princess had to get back home as she seemed to be going nuts. Uther was puzzled at this and Arthur looked at him with a knowing yet proud look. Gwaine was grinning at him and had a proud look as well. Let's just say that no one will get away with charming him and harming Arthur...
