Blood is thicker than water

A/N: so this is my first fanfic and I'm quite excited to see how people like it.

This takes place before season 5, and Arthur rescues Morgana from the Sarrum, which makes Morgana think twice about her loyalties.

Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin, but I've sent a letter demanding that they give me the series so I can add some much needed Mergana in it.

Alright enough of the ranting, on with the chapter:

Sefa shuffled outside the royal chambers nervously. Today she was beginning her work as the queen's maidservant and she was determined to make a good impression, not just to secure her job, but because she had to find her way into the royal inner circle, and relay information to her father, a former druid who was now an outcast and determined to bring pain and misery to the Pendragons'. Sefa loved her father very much, but she disagreed with his regime. The first time she met the queen; she had been very compassionate and generous and immediately offered her the job. King Arthur on the other hand was slightly intimidating but he had brought peace to the realm and was renowned for his justice and equality. She apprehensively raised her fists to the door, and finally knocked on the door. As soon as she entered the room, a gasp escaped her lips as she took in her surroundings. The royal chambers were beautiful. The bed was draped with velvet and satin, and the crimson and gold pillows had intricate designs on them as did the silk sheets. There were flower vases strategically placed around the room and the crests of the five kingdoms hung on the walls. A modest fireplace crackled giving the room a warm, pleasant feel.

"Sefa," the queen said kindly gesturing her over to the vanity.

"Sit. Tell me how you're doing."

"Very well thank you my lady, I must thank you again for making me your maidservant."

"That's quite alright Sefa. Tonight I'm just going to go to bed but I'd love a hot bath if you could fetch that for me. I trust Merlin's shown you around the castle and the servant's quarters."

"Yes my lady, he spent the afternoon showing me." A faint blush stained her cheeks as she thought of the king's manservant.

"I'll go and get the bathwater now my lady." Sefa was obviously flustered, caught daydreaming by the queen about the king's manservant.

A knowing smile graced Gwen's lips as she watched Sefa leave the chambers in a hurry.

Arthur entered the chambers with Merlin in tow.

"We have a council meeting tomorrow, will you be joining us Guinevere?"

"Don't be silly Arthur, of course I will be joining you. I'm not some porcelain doll that has to be mollycoddled."

"Yes, right, just making sure."

Merlin smirked at the king's discomfort. He was glad someone could put Arthur in his place when he was at the height of his pratishness.

"I'm going to have a bath Arthur, care to join me?" Gwen suggestively fluttered her eyelashes and seductively started walking towards Arthur."

"It would be an honour my lady," as they met in a passionate embrace. Things were heating up very quickly before they were interrupted by a cough from behind them.

"Ahem, I hate to interrupt but could you care to consider continuing these activities after I've left the room?"

"You can leave Merlin," Said Arthur impatiently gesturing towards the door.

Merlin all but ran out of the room, where he almost collided with Sefa.

"Sorry," they both said simultaneously, sidestepping each other. After an awkward moment of staring at each other they both hastily continued towards their duties muttering about Gaius's chambers and the queen's bath.

"My lady, I brought your bath," Her voice faltered as she noticed the king and queen's steamy embrace.

"Yes, thank you Sefa, just set it down by the table and you're dismissed from your duties tonight.

Sefa also hurried out of the room for the second time that night.

"How many more interruptions," Arthur grumbled.

"I think that's it for the night so you may have the pleasure of undressing me for the bath which I assume you're joining me in?"

"Hell, yes," He said, grabbing Gwen in all her naughty places and beginning his sexual ministrations.

Moans and grunts and groans were heard from the chambers, due to the sexual activities occurring in the chambers that night.

The night continued in a similar erotic fashion which ended up both of them being covered in more than just water and soap from the bath but other bodily substances.

A/N: so my first chapter on my first fanfic is dooooooooone! Please leave a review and ideas are appreciated of where to go in this story, and constructive criticism is welcomed. I don't know about my update speed but the maximum amount of time I'll take is probably three weeks, but the next chapter should be up earlier.
