Hello!
First fan fiction on this account about Merlin! Yay! I love this show and am so glad the bbc decided to produce it. I've had this account for ages and forgot about it, so now I'm going to use it. (Because I FINALLY remembered my password) Hope you enjoy it and please review! J
Merlin walked through the castle corridors on some sort of errand for Gaius. The new queen or to be queen would probably want have him running around for her again later. Merlin had seen through her - she was a troll, but that's so easy to just say to your king (Who's deeply in love with her) that's she's a troll. Merlin had wanted to , but Gaius had brought up good points not to say anything. Merlin could hear Gaius's words in his head.
"Don't Merlin if Uther doesn't throw you in the stocks or jail/prison for a week he'll have you executed if you accuse her of that!"
Unfortunately Gaius was right and if it wasn't a matter that would have to run through Uther he wouldn't panic.
Merlin's situation was not good at the "Magic is evil" as Uther said. Merlin would beg to differ on that fact. The young warlock was so far in thought he didn't notice the door to Lady Katrina's room open. Grabbing his shoulder's the young black haired servant was pulled into the room.
"Merlin." Gaius didn't expect Merlin to be this long, maybe Arthur had found him and told him to do something or Merlin might have taken Arthur breakfast and woke him up. Arthur was fussy with times to be woken especially when he had meetings with his father like today. "Oh hurry up Merlin. I've got a list of things for you to do, like cleaning my leach tank and scrubbing the floor." Gaius shook his head before going back to making and researching medicines waiting for Merlin to bring him back the herbs he needed to make the medicines he would then be getting Merlin to deliver them. Another job he must remember to add to Merlin's job list, sometime soon when he got a chance to.
Arthur fluttered his eyes open, slowly. What time was it Arthur climbed out of bed only to find that there was no breakfast on the table and Merlin hadn't woke him up. Arthur had got himself up this morning!
Where was that idiotic Merlin when you need him!
Arthur realised how late he was in the end. And rushed to the court room, not bothering about changing his clothes after all he could sort that out later when he'd actually have a servant to help.
Really if he was honest he didn't want to get dressed without Merlin as for some reason it just seemed wrong.
Arthur walked out the door letting it shut behind him as he walked towards his fathers court room.
The doors to the court room opened to reveal Prince Arthur as he walked over sit next to his father, so that they could begin the meeting.
"Arthur. Why are you so late." Uther asked.
Arthur flinched. Unusual for him, if he told his father Merlin didn't wake him, Merlin would be thrown in the stocks, again.
"I overslept and Merlin was doing a job for Gaius and couldn't wake me this morning, but I'm here now, so that doesn't matter." Arthur was lying to his own father as he had done before, but he realised it must have been hard for Merlin to lie to his father when Arthur asked him to.
"I see." Uther replied not realising his son was lying to him. "Lets start the meeting everyone have a seat."
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief as he sat down. He wouldn't ever admit it, but Merlin meant a whole lot more to him than anyone else could ever understand.
