As the reunion dies down all eyes turn to Arthur. "So Merlin is a?...." Merlin cuts him off saying "prince? Yes, yes I am ya dollaphead" Merlin says with a laugh. " but- but how?" Arthur asks, "well Arthur long ago when my mom and dad wanted a child they-" Merlin begins but Arthur cuts him off "I know that part Merlin, but HOW are you a prince you have no manners" Arthur says, Merlin gives him a look as the knights snicker. "Now that we know this, can Merlin joint ya in training?" Grains asks Arthur, "yeah" the other knights agreed. "Merlin?" Arthur said skeptically, "I can hold my own with a sword Arthur" Merlin assures him. All of Merlin's knights snicker knowing he can hold more than his own with a sword.

As they all enter the training grounds Sir Kay began to speak " Please go easy on us sire" he said to Merlin as the rest of the Acrualan knights nod in agreement while the camelotian knights looked confused. "Well I know let's do a tournament" Merlin says with a smile, his knights give him a "really?" Look. But everyone agreed nonetheless.
Tournament:
[Tristan vs Elyan] Tristan wins
[Edward vs Leon] Edward wins
[Lancelot vs Lionel] Lionel wins
[Gerard vs Percival] Gerard wins
[Gwaine vs Kay] Kay wins
Now it was Merlin vs Arthur, Gwaine oooed as he and Percival giggled at his actions. The knights of Acrualan knew that Merlin was the best swordsman in all of the lands, but Arthur didn't. They sat back waiting to watch the entertainment. Merlin and Arthur circle the training ground waiting for one person to attack first "don't worry Merlin I'll go easy on you" Arthur says reassuring him "and I, you" Merlin said with a smirk. Merlin then attacks first but Arthur quickly blocks they continue to spar and slight sparks grow as their hits get harder. Merlin then maneuvers around Arthur disarms him and trips him. "Do you yield?" Merlin asks Arthur as he holds both swords to his neck. Arthur just nodded his head to shocked for words to form. "You haven't lost your touch si- I mean Merlin" Tristan tells Merlin. "Thank you old friend" Merlin replied, "Welp I still am Arthur's manservant so I have to be off now" Merlin says as he sheathes and cloaks his sword running off. "We might as well continue sparring" Leon says "yeah maybe we could give you guys a few tips?" Edward offers as they begin to spar again.
