How long can you hold a collapsing lie together before it kills you? Disclaimer: I do not own BBC Merlin, you already know this, move along.

When Merlin, Arthur and the knights are taken by bandits its up to Merlin to stop the leader from killing Arthur. But what when he sympathises with that person and realises that they have more in common than just losing lost ones. Sorry. I'm awful at descriptions. THIS IS NOT A MERTHUR STORY. IT'S FREYLIN.

The Knights of Camelot think Merlin is an idiot. A talentless idiot. But they never cease to be amazed when Merlin proves them wrong.

What if Merlin had another secret? What if Merin's secret past comes back to haunt him? Merlin had a life as an assassin before coming to Camalot. And his past might just come to light, it might just come to kill the King. What will Merlin do? Will he be able to save Arthur in time or will the King's time finally come. Hunith is dead so no moment of truth episode happened.

Guess what guys.. THIS IS ANOTHER PRINCE MERLIN AU. Merlin is a prince of a fallen kingdom that was overthrown by a traitor within its mists, having been sent to Camelot almost immediately after the fall, sent into hiding for his own protection. When word comes to Camelot that several Knights from a far off land will be arriving soon with urgent news, no one expected the secrets it would unlock especially when it comes to the one and only, simple Merlin. But he isn't as simple as he seems. *I'm rating this story M for Mature just to be safe because I can guarantee, there will be quite a bit of strong language, incredibly descriptive.. Descriptions of violence. Lots of violence in certain chapters. Lots of stuff. Enjoy!!*
