Chapter 2- The Romance was out
"Merlin they need to know that you are the baby's father soon" Katherine told Merlin
"Katherine they can't know" Merlin replied
Meanwhile Arthur and Gwen were discussing matters about Katherine in their chambers.
"So she is going to stay in the castle in Morgana's old chambers is that correct" Arthur asked
"Yes Arthur that is correct were you even listening to what I was saying" Gwen replied
"Okay so that is sorted" Arthur spoke relieved
Then there was a knock on the door and it was Sir Gwaine dressed smarter than usual which surprised Arthur.
"Sir Gwaine how can I help you?" Arthur asked
"Sire there is a woman in the council chambers wanting to speak to you and Merlin and I can't find Merlin do you think you know where he is?" Gwaine spoke
"Gwaine I will be down in a moment but I don't know where Merlin is sorry but Gwen could you go and have a look round the castle and see where he is please" Arthur asked Gwen
"Okay I'll see if I can find him and tell him that you want him in a moment" Gwen replied
"Thanks Gwen" Arthur replied
Arthur and Gwaine made their way to the council chambers and when they got there they found a woman sat in the middle of floor doing her hair and when she saw the King she jumped up and bowed.
"Sire" She spoke
"What's your name" Arthur asked
"Lily Sire" She replied
"What business are you doing in Camelot then" Arthur asked
"Oh I am visiting my brother Merlin and I have some important news about your uncle" She replied
"My Uncle so what do you know about him" Arthur asked her
"I have spotted him on the outskirts of city helping Morgana raise a magic army but I managed to speak the druid out of it and they agreed so Morgana is going to have trouble getting them on her side" She told him
"Good then I'm glad she does, because she is not getting my throne again" Arthur said
"I also found out that there is a traitor in your mist and I think you better find out soon because they could cause a lot of damage during your reign"
"Thanks….Lily we will take your advice" Arthur said
Meanwhile Gwen was looking for Merlin but she couldn't find him so she had to search the 100 rooms in the palace top to bottom. When she had searched 50 rooms she still hadn't found him but found some others things she didn't wish to see including Leon getting out the bath Gaius treating Lady Miranda because she had an infected arm from an attack on Camelot a month ago and also Sir Peterson dragging someone out of his chamber who seemed like a thieve. But she still had the other half of the castle to do which would take her all day.
"Hiya Esmeralda found Merlin yet?" Gwaine asked as he bumped into Gwen along the corridor
"Sorry Gwaine no but going to carry on search tomorrow absolotlty exhausted so see you in the morning Gwaine" Gwen replied then walked down the corridor towards her and Arthurs Chambers.
When Gwen walked in she found a very distressed Arthur with a young woman speaking to him.
"So who do you think this traitor is then Lily?" Arthur asked
"I saw the Lady Miranda was walking off towards the forests so I followed her and saw her speaking to your uncle and Morgana" Lily replied
"I am going to keep a close eye on here I think so I can see that she is the traitor alright Lily" Arthur Replied
"Mi Lady" Lily spoke as she saw Gwen walk into the room
"Gwen this is Lily the person who wished to speak with me earlier on" Arthur told her
"So Lily what are you doing in Camelot then?" Gwen asked
"I wish to see my brother Merlin" Lily replied
"Ah Gwen have you found him yet?" Arthur asked Gwen
"No and I have searched the lower 2 floors of the castle top to bottom, training grounds, courtyard, the town, village and border of the city where I saw….." Gwen replied
"I guess you saw Morgana….." Arthur guessed
"Yes Morgana and Avergaine and the Lady… "Gwen replied
"Miranda" The three of them said at the same time
"So Miranda is the traitor if the two of you saw it yourself" Arthur asked
"Yes Arthur" Gwen replied
"Lily you are dismissed" Arthur said
"Thanks Sire" Lily said
Lily then walked towards the door and walked back to her chambers.
"So Gwen what areas have you go left to cover to find Merlin" Arthur asked
"Well I have got to cover the 4 top floors of the castle and that's it do we should find Merlin" Gwen replied
"I'll help you in the morning so you just get a good night sleep for a busy day tomorrow" Arthur replied
It was the next morning and Arthur and Gwen were eating breakfast, until Gwen got up to get dressed a red long sleeved dress and red pumps and then Arthur got dressed into his chainmail to find Merlin and then they set of Gwen doing level 3 and 4 and Arthur doing level 5 and 6. Once Gwen had done her levels she was to go and search Gaius's chambers and see if Merlin was there.
"Merlin, Merlin" Gwen shouted
"Morning Gwen" Leon said
"Morning Leon you haven't seen Merlin have you because we haven't seen him since yesterday and his sister is here" Gwen replied
"Sorry Gwen do want me to help you look for him?" Leon asked
"That would be great thanks could you do level 4 for me and then meet me in Gaius's chambers search all the rooms top to bottom" Gwen said
Gwen, Leon and Arthur search the castle all day and still no sign of Merlin but there was one place left which was Katherine's Chambers and they went straight there where they saw the shock of their lives.
"Leon you can go an train the knights please me and Gwen can handle this ourselves" Arthur asked
"Of course sire" Leon said and walked off to gather the knights
"Gwen I can here Merlin in there was is going on?" Arthur asked
"Arthur I have no idea so shall we go in" Gwen spoke in a whisper
Arthur then opened the door and saw Merlin jump underneath the bed.
"Sire how can I help you?" Katherine asked
"I was just looking for Merlin" Arthur replied
"And we could hear his voice in this room" Gwen told Katherine
"So where is he" Arthur asked
"He is not in this room I'm telling you Gwen" Katherine replied
"Well I just want to check underneath your bed please Katherine" Arthur asked
Arthur did this without her permission and guess who he found…..Merlin
"Merlin what are you doing here?" Gwen asked
"Merlin we might as well tell her? Katherine told Merlin
"Tell her what?" Gwen asked
"Well….Gwen….me and Merlin have been together for 1 year now and Merlin got me pregnant" Katherine told Gwen
"What" Arthur Shouted
"My manservant gets you pregnant well that's a surprise" Arthur spoke curiously
"Well Merlin we have now found out we might as well let you be together" Arthur spoke
"Yes we might as well" Gwen replied
