"You can't talk about the Crown Prince like that Merlin"

"He is no Prince. He is the son of a man whose ancestors were pronounced Royalty. Nothing more, nothing less. He is just a stuck up bully, a bully with power over people.

They fear him and they should! One word from him and it could cost them their head! You saw it yesterday, one accusation is all it takes. It doesn't matter if they practice or born with it, doesn't matter if its true or not; it's the fear. A very real fear that could cost them their lives. All that power over their life and their deaths are in the hands of that-that condescending supercilious bully!

Whether they even practice or not the fact remains is without the respect of his people Arthur Prat-

"Merlin!"

-Dragon is nothing but a bully.

It's a wonder he even has friends. Even if he did, they probably fear him as well; they're not very good ones anyway, judging how pathetic he was; throwing knifes at people showing off to his "friends."

At his people too, for fun. Fun! His people who he's given an oath to protect and he purposely puts them in harms way. What if something were to go wrong someone could have been seriously injured! He was surrounded by the young and old, what if a child had been hit. Oh, but of course it wouldn't have been the Princes fault! Oh no it would have been the servant fault or even better the child's fault for cross the Princes path.

He's not impressing anyone. If anything he's proving how little he deserves his title. He would be nothing without it.

Actually, he is proving something. All he's doing is proving how much alike he and Cenred are. No Arthur is worse. Cenred knows he has power and hordes that over his people. The Prince just thinks their fear is actually respect and does whatever he wants with little to no thought of those around him and below him in status.

Respect needs to be earned. And I will not just hand it out like its nothing. Fear is not respect; no matter what he thinks." Merlin huffed out in irritation, plonking down onto his chair; having not realised that they had even reached Gaius's chambers during his ranting.

Stretching, he rested his chin on his right palm at the table, whilst his hand rubbed his right eye. Leaning backwards Merlin massaged his neck, he ran his hand through his dark hair he felt something sticky; recoiling he pulled out a chunk of tomato seeds out of his hair.

"Yuck, ugh, that's disgusting"

So that's that.

Would love to hear what you think, so love it or hate it, let me know by reviewing.
