The words hung in the air, laden with surprise. The tall, red-haired man fixed his gaze on the young prince before him, his features a canvas of astonishment.
A knowing smile graced the young prince's lips, his eyes glinting with a blend of familiarity and amusement. "I said that I trust you, Merlin," he replied, his voice carrying an air of assurance. The prince, whose name was Albert, pivoted on his heels, intending to continue his journey towards his classroom. However, his steps stalled as the redhead's voice pierced the air once again.
"My... my name. How did your highness know my real name?" The question escaped the redhead's lips, a mixture of wonder and curiosity mingling in his words.
The prince's smile deepened, cryptic and intriguing. With a casual wave of his hand, he resumed his departure, leaving the red-haired man to grapple with the enigma of his concealed identity as Prince Albert's secret bodyguard. As Albert walked away, a trail of unanswered questions lingered in the air, wrapping the scene in an aura of mystery.
Is the prince truly aware of everything that Merlin has concealed?
