He does not remember the feeling of panic rising in his throat at the thought that he would not be discovered before he became nothing more than a dead corpse in a dead Queen's garden, an errant child out of bed after hours.'
****
After a lifetime of living on the knife-edge of death, when a seventeen year old Arthur is nearly killed by a traitor to in the very heart of Camelot, all he gets is a second glance and an imperious command from his father that Arthur is to get a new manservant. What's worse is that all his protests seem to fall on deaf ears.
Arthur doesn't exactly have the best history with manservants. And it seems like this one with Merlin is going to be shorter and worse than most. It is not just that he is forgetful, or disappears for days on end, but it seems like he had no grasp of common human behaviour. But despite everything, they manage to forge a friendship, and one night, long-kept secrets are revealed, pledges and sacrifices made, and a new era birthed.

TWO PRINCES - Merthur
"It would be almost surprising, how swiftly Arthur betrays Merlin, if not for the fact that it is entirely in character for the prince to do whatever he can to torture the sorcerer at any given opportunity, "apologies, Prince Claudin," Arthur says, a devilish smile spreading across his face that causes Merlin to gulp, audibly, "my manservant here was just offering his professional services while you are visiting." Merlin almost drops the scrolls he is almost entirely convinced Arthur made him carry to be a nuisance, rather than because they were needed for any specific part of the introductions, but he manages to catch them all at the last second." //Set in season 4 sometime after Uther's death but before Arthur's coronation.//Complete
