The prince and the warlock stared at the Horn of Cathbhadh, lying on the table in front of them.

"So you're going to use it?"

"Yes."

"Even though it's a powerful magical artifact?"

"Yes, Merlin."

"Even though magic is technically still banned?"

"Yes, Merlin."

"And you don't find anything wrong with that?"

"Please elaborate." Arthur deadpanned.

"Well," Merlin started, drawing out the word. "If the King of Camelot decides to use magic for his own purposes, why can't anyone else?"

Arthur blinked at his servant, his face completely neutral.

"So you might as well legalize magic again."

"…Shut up, Merlin."
