Chapter 1: Visiting Royalty
Merlin's Pov
Sunlight beamed through the curtains of the Prince of Camelots window as the morning sun glanced over the beautiful hills of Albion. It was to this sight that I walked into Arthur's room to serve him. I looked over to the bed to see his body wrapped in the finest sheets with only his head sticking out from the large mass. I smiled at his sleeping form as I place the morning meal on his dining table.
The hardest part of my job isnt the training or cleaning, its waking him up that's the problem. But, lucky for me that I know the perfect way to wake his royal pratness.
Quietly I crept over to his king sized bed. Slowly I slid across the top until I was directly hovering over his face. I lowered myself until my breath could be felt on his face. Then oh so slowly I planted my lips against his.
A pair of wide eyes opened up in my vision. The shock wore off quickly once Arthur realized that it was me kissing him. It took even less time before the positions were switched and he was straddling my hips, without breaking the kiss.
We stayed that way for what seemed like forever, but everyone needs to breath. Smiles were painted across both of our faces as we parted.
"Good morning sire" I whispered against his skin, which gave him a shiver. I always had a way to control how he feels.
"It would have been better if I woke up with you next to me" he said giving me a light kiss. I blushed and slowly moved so I was sitting up on the other side of the bed. When I was about to get up, a strong arm wrapped around me, holding me in my place.
"Where do you think you're going?" he teased me.
"Even though we are together doesnt mean I can escape my duties sire" I scolded while removing the arm and walking over to the prince's clothing caabinet.
I grabbed some of his best clothes and tossed them his way, and being him he caught them perfectly. He was looking at them strangly.
"The King of Cyrus and his daughter are coming to sign a peace treaty this morning and your father wants you there for when they arrive" I told him as I quickly dresses him. Once I was done I grabbed the empty tray and went to carry out my duties before they arrived.
"Oh and Arthur?" I called as I left the door. He peaked out when he heard his named and looked over at me.
"They will be here in two hours" and with that I left.
Two Hours Later...
Arthur's Pov
Those small hours passed swift, the speed of our fastest horses wouldnt have been able to go any faster. Now here I stand with my father awaiting Kind Dominic and who's suppose to be his beautiful daughter Princess Emilia. The only reason I could think that he would bring his daughter would to be try and marry her off to me. Hopefull Uther will tell them otherwise.
Everyone in all of Camelot knows that I am gay, and they all know that I am courting my manservant. My father approved of me being with a person that I know, but he had two conditions.
One is that Merlin cannot neglect his duties. The second one is that when the time comes for me to be king, I can marry Merlin but I must choose a noble women to bare my heir. Merlin agreed with this, knowing that the time would come eventually. The only thing I am worried about is that the noble women I choose might not accept me being married to another while carrying a child. But that can wait for the (I hope to be) far future.
The sounds of horses and wheels treading across stone caught my attetion. I looked ahead of me to see a carriage creeping its way through the streets toward the castle.
Once it reached the steps of the castle, the driver moved from his seat and let the two nobles out into the clear summer air.
"Welcome to Camelot King Dominic and Princess Emilia" Uther said to our guests. They smiled and bowed, in return we bowed back.
"We are looking forword to this signing, we only wish for peace between our nations" the princess spoke out. Most princesses dont worry about the political part of being royalty until they are wed. So you could see the surprised look on my face.
"You sound very educated your highness" I heard come from behind me. And there was Merlin standing in his usual servant attire. Emilia giggled at the comment.
"Why thank you, I do try to sound so as I am my father's succesor" she spoke to Merlin. I smiled, I could tell that she wasnt like most royal women, who would be outraged for a servant speaking to them directly.
"This is Merlin. He will be you and your fathers servant for the duration of your stay here in Camelot" I spoke out. The king looked appaled at the fact thatn a man would be serving his daughter. Merlin must have noticed because he spoke out quickly.
"You have nothing to fear about King Dominic, I do not fancy women". The king sighed in relief and princess smile. 'She must have never been served by a gay guy before' I thought as Merlin escorted the princess to her quarters. I followed as my father stayed behind to talk with the other king.
Once she was safe inside, she dismissed Merlin until the feast was to be held.
"She seems like a nice women" Merlin exclaimed as we headed to my rooms.
"Dont get any ideas Merlin" I teased him. He smiled and grasped my hand.
"I wont, dont forget that I am and always will be your"
No One's Pov
Sunset
Dark shadows layed themselves across the ruins of an ancient castle that was spread along a small island. This is the Isle of the Blessed. A once great kingdom where all kinds of magical beings came to learn more about the ablilities that they were given.
But now its nothing like it use to be. Many pieces of the once grand building have been torn away by fire and war. The Great Purge turned this beautiful structure into the grave sight of innocent people.
The most recent murder here is the most important. The socerer who use to inhabit the isle was called Nimueh and she was killed by the lover of Prince Arthur of Camelot. By the prophecy of the druids, Merlin is to be the most power wizard in all of Albion. And he is to bring magic back and create a new vision for Camelot along side the soon to be king.
Little did they know that she is still allive. Emrys might have destroyed her body, but he didnt destroy her powers. Nimueh was one of the most powerful women in this world. This gave her the power to stay alive in spirit form.
Now she looks over the young couple threw her special spy glass. She smiles, but not at the sight of the Merlin and Arthur sleeping together on his bed. She smiles because she has a plan to rid the world of the most powerful men in the world.
