After returning from the journey to retrieve the Mortaeus flower, then watching Merlin almost die and kissing him, Arthur is arrested for disobeying his father's orders to stay in Camelot.

But that is not the only reason Arthur wants Merlin to stay with him. Set in the episode 1x10 The Moment of Truth.
