Sadly I do not own Merlin. It belongs to the BBC.

This is my first Arthur and Gwen fic. Please let me know what you think.

Enjoy.

Merlin came bursting into Arthur's chambers and grabbed hold of Gwen who was in Arthur's arms and went to lead her out of the servants' quarters. "Merlin. What are you-?"

"The King is on his way."

Gwen let go of Merlin and left quickly through the servants' quarters.

"I have been here with you all morning."

"What?"

"Your father has been in talks with someone all morning. I didn't mean to eavesdrop but when I heard him mention you I had to. Sorry."

"What was he on about?"

"You're about to find out. Just promise me that you won't blow your top."

"Great." Arthur growled, knowing that whatever his father wanted to talk to him about, he would not like.

"Arthur!"

"Ok Merlin. I promise."

Merlin went over and started to make Arthur's bed just as Uther walked into the room.

"Arthur."

"Father."

Uther looked at Merlin. "Leave us. Come back and finish that later." Merlin bowed to Uther and Arthur and left the room, but not before he mouthed to Arthur behind the Kings back 'please.'

When the door shut Uther looked at his son. "Arthur I have been in talks all morning and I have found you a bride." he said looking pleased with his self.

As soon as Merlin shut the door behind him he raced to sir Leon's room and banged on his door.

Leon opened to see Merlin stood there with his hands resting on his thighs whilst trying to catch his breath. "Merlin? What's wrong?"

"Arthur." he said breathlessly.

"What about him?"

"The King is in Arthur's chambers with him about to tell him he has picked out a bride for him. He promised he wouldn't blow his top, but that was before the King turned up. If he does get mad I need you to be there to calm him down and to stop him doing anything in anger."

"Where's Gwen?" he asked sounding concerned. Apart from Merlin, Morgana and Gaius knowing about Arthur and Gwen's relationship. Leon was the only Knight who knew and like Merlin, Morgana and Gaius, tried to help as best as he could.

"I got her out of his chambers before the King showed up."

Leon nodded before stepping out of his chamber. "Let's go."

Hope you liked this first chapter.

Next chapter will be posted within two days.
