Read and review please, hope you like it

Arthur got to his feet, looking at Gwen who was wrapped in Lancelot's arms.

'Lancelot, that is the second time you have saved me, I am forever in your debt' Gwen let him go but held on to his hands.

'My Lady, I could never be in your debt, you reminded me what it is like to live again' Lancelot moved her hair out of her eyes 'You are my life Guinevere, I have returned to prove myself to you, if you will have me'

Merlin bit down on his lips. At Lancelot's words Arthur's face went red and with a slice of bread hanging from his head it looked very comical.

'I will have you Lancelot, I have waited so long for you' Gwen answered him. Arthur was now more red than his tunic and jacket together. Merlin didn't know if he were to laugh or run.

Gwen and Lancelot's lips meet, Arthur pulled out his sword.

Gwen and Lancelot broke apart. Lancelot looked behind him for more raiders but found none. Arthur looked at Gwen than to Lancelot, he put his sword back inside ' I must warn my father about the raiders, they could come to Camelot, Merlin get on your horse now' Arthur sounded very angry. Merlin smiled at Lancelot, he was happy to see him again, Lancelot had once saved his life and he had saved him again just a few minutes before, but he knew not to ignore Arthur when he was in this mood.

Merlin and Arthur, with the bread still on his head, mounted their horses and walked off without a backwards glance. Merlin was thinking of what just happened. Gwen still had feelings for Lancelot, when she had seen him all feelings for Arthur had just vanished. Like that. Arthur made his horse run faster. Merlin wondered if he should tell him about the bread.

Back in Camelot Arthur and Merlin dismounted. Merlin looked at his head

'Sire, you have bread on your head' Arthur's hand shoot up and grabbed it, he just stared at it for a second 'Why is everything a joke for you Merlin? Take these horses back to the stable or I'll put you in the stocks' Arthur stormed off, pushing aside a guard and into the castle. Merlin led the two horses into the stables. Here he unsaddled them and groomed them. After re-filling their water troughs he walked into the castle. He walked up to Arthur's room, he wasn't mad at the prince, he knew why he had shouted, he was upset, and as Merlin pushed the door open he saw Arthur laying on his bed facing away. Merlin closed the door and walked up to him.

'Arthur' he sat down and put an arm on Arthur's side. Arthur rolled over and looked at Merlin 'why has she chosen him over me?'

Merlin though, he knew why but if he said it he could end up in the stocks, he'll have a go anyway

'She likes him better than you' Merlin's gut jolted. Arthur sat up and glared at him

'I mean she knows as a servant if she went with Lancelot it's more safe for her than you, as your father will have her killed' Merlin bit his lips, more out of fear now, Arthur looked angry.
He sat still for a moment and watched the prince; Arthur looked at the vase, still here with flowers. Arthur got up from the bed and grabbed the flowers

'You can have these, I'll see you tomorrow Merlin, good night' Arthur pushed them at Merlin, grabbed his arm and led him from the room.

'OK, sire' Merlin called through the door. He made his way back from the castle.

Outside was Gwen and Lancelot
'Merlin, what is up with Arthur?' Gwen asked. Lancelot jumped off the horse and helped Gwen down. Merlin pulled a face 'I don't know, dinner party interrupted' Lancelot looked at Merlin; he could see on the boys face something that looked like annoyance. 'Everything alright Merlin?'

'It's nothing, I should be getting back to Gaius he'll be making my dinner soon, thanks for earlier' Merlin turned and hurried back to Gaius. When he walked in he became aware of the flowers and the smile on Gaius' face made him feel embarrassed 'Gwen didn't get them after all, I think she and Arthur are over...Lancelot crashed his party' Merlin handed them to the old man.

Merlin was awoken by Arthur very early the next morning, banging on the door. Gaius answered and Arthur walked in 'Merlin in bed I guess' Arthur waited until Merlin got up before explaining why he was here so early

'Just say, I have a plan, to make Lancelot and Gwen rue the day they made a fool of me' Arthur pointed his nose up in the air. 'Come on' Arthur walked Merlin outside into the main street; here was a group of guards

'Right men, I have received a tip off that some magic items have seen in this house, Brake down the door and pull the house apart, find that item' Arthur said to his men, Merlin looked at the house he was pointing at, it was Gwen's.

Bang!

They kicked down the door and marched inside, they was a scream from Gwen. Arthur walked Merlin in the house. 'Rip the floorboards up, these could be sorcerers and we know they are masters of hiding things'
Merlin watched as Gwen's house was broken up. Gwen was sat up on her bed and Lancelot was lying on the floor, Lancelot tried to cover himself.

'Arthur! You know we are not sorcerers' Gwen moaned as her pots where smashed.
'Look in the bed, pull the pillows apart, I want this house upside down' Arthur ordered his men around, they wreaked Gwen's house more than an earthquake.

Arthur smiled down at Lancelot, who was only wearing underwear 'You outside' Guards grabbed Lancelot and pushed him back into the street, it had started to rain but people were out walking down to the market. The women smiled as their saw Lancelot's long thin legs and bear chest.

'OK they are no magic object here' Arthur said an hour later. The rain was coming down faster and heavier.

'Men we are leaving, but I want to question the male more' Arthur dragged Merlin out the house by the arm, once outside he let go. Lancelot was still stood here, his arms being held by the guards; rain water dripped from his hair, down his body and ran freely from his wet underwear.
A big grin spread on Arthur's face at the site of him. This was his revenge for Lancelot humiliating him, but Arthur went one step more

'I seek a council with my father...Uther Pendragon, on the subject of this man, Take him straight to the court chambers' Arthur looked at Lancelot and grinned more.

Lancelot was dragged along in the mud; he was to be presented to the king coved in dirt, dressed only in under garments and very wet. He would die of the shame.

Behind him Arthur laughed. What a brat of a prince. Inside the castle maids and other servants looked on as the half naked man was dragged along by the guards, then Prince Arthur and his servant followed, their prince's face was filled with glee.

They came to the court room, here Merlin walked to the corner of the room, Gaius was here, the old man looked in surprise when Lancelot was brought in, half naked and muddy. He was made to stand in the middle of the room, a puddle of water falling down from him. His underwear pulling down with water.

'Why is he here and dressed in this way?' Gaius whispered in Merlin's ear. Merlin smiled shyly 'Arthur took revenge'. At that second Arthur walked in and took a good look at Lancelot.
'My father will be here soon, you may want to cover yourself better' Arthur walked up to his seat and watched as Lancelot looked down quickly, his underwear had slipped down, he pulled them up more.

The door's opened and the full room went still, Uther Pendragon walked in and up to his seat next to Arthur.
'What is this Arthur?' Uther looked at Lancelot

Arthur grinned more wickedly, 'This man is the Sir Lancelot, remember him? He faked his nobility, made a fool of Camelot' Arthur pushed it 'made a fool of you father'

Uther looked back at Lancelot. Merlin knew this was not going to be pretty.
