Innocence

If merlin got decapitated would it just grow back?

"Goodbye mother" Merlin cried, a tight hold on his mother. They had to go back for a visiting noble, Merlin had offered to stay but after his mother picked up on a few things, he was denied of his request. So here he was packing his bags, after meeting his beloved mother for the first time in his life.

You could say he was sad.

Arthur lifted him by his shoulders on the horse -even though he insisted he didn't need it- and they headed off. Back to the kingdom.

Morgana and Gwen were chitter chatters.

"Oh Arthur I can't believe it took you that long!" Morgana laughed.

"At this point I thought it would be Merlin first!" Gwen joined in.

"Ha. Ha. Ha." Arthur rolled his eyes, riding faster up. Merlin over did not get the grace of escape, the girls as fast as wolverines circled him.

"Merlin, Arthur won't tell us anything. What happened!" Gwen spoke. Everyone knew Merlin was one for girl talk. Before Merlin could so much as open his mouth, Arthur came around from behind him, plucked him off the horse, and ran forward. Gwen pouted and turned to morgana.

"Well get it after he gets in the castle?" Morgana smirked.

"Oh most definitely" they both made what one would assume to be terrifying cackles and continued there chitter chatter.

"My horse!" Merlin exclaimed. Worried that it would get lost and die. Arthur however waved Him off.

"Chaps is a loyal companion. He wouldn't ride off" Merlin felt little comfort in that and still looked back occasionally, but he let the matter pass. Instead leaning into Arthur.

"So who's the nobles we are going to see" Merlin asked. Rising his head a bit.

"Well it's actually the king of a smaller kingdom. They have good wool there, so i decided to make a treaty. It's not be deal really. His kingdom is very small and most consist of farmers" Merlin nodded, quickly falling asleep.

"Hello king Arthur" Merlin looked to see a older man. His crown was decorated with large jewels at every corner.

"Hello king lestrade" Arthur smiled, leading him back to the castle.

"Shall we discus peace?" He asked, arms crossed together. Arthur nodded.

"Dinner fist of course"

they made way to a large dinner table with a array of food at every corner, Arthur sat down along with king lestrade and started to eat.

"So, i hear you have the best wool in any kingdom" Arthur asked calmly.

"Why yes we do. We make amends with every kingdom and our peace treaty's keep us safe. Therefor we can spend our money and time creating the ripest foods, best clothing, and nicest wool in all the kingdoms" the man reasoned.

"That's not a bad ide-" the doors burst open and a mob of black hair walked in. Morgana and Merlin talking together.

"Arthur!" Merlin exclaimed happily. "I didn't know you were at dinner"

"Merlin!" Arthur exclaimed. "Well, I told you we have a visiting noble"

"Yes well I just have one question" Merlin walked over, and Arthur shot a glare at a laughing Morgana. He couldn't believe she brought him here.
