I do not own Merlin.

----

Arthur found out Merlin was able to do magic and he did not ask about it until they were alone in his chambers.

Arthur causally asked "Say, Merlin are you a Warlock?"

Merlin looked wide eyed and stuttered "Uh, uh--"

Arthur sighs then stated "Oh, shut up Merlin. Jeez, how did you keep it a secret for this long?"

Merlin told Arthur flatly "No one asked."

Arthur stared at Merlin and replied "Merlin, you are an idiot. A clumsy idiot how in the world are you a Warlock?"

Merlin muttered "I was born with like it."

Arthur stated "That makes sense for you can't really remember anything. For example cleaning my chambers today."

Merlin told Arthur "Well I had to wash your clothes."

Arthur rolled his eyes and then stated "Merlin, I know that you were busy washing them. The point is you are not cleaning right now. Can you work and talk?"

Merlin snapped "Yes I can Sire."

Merlin was cleaning up Arthur's chambers as Arthur told Merlin in a serious voice "Don't worry Merlin. I won't tell my father and besides I'm still in disbelief. Honestly you a Warlock. I mean come on your just so clumsy and not good with the sword. I guess you had to make up for it for something I suppose or else you would have no real talent."

Merlin nodded and then Arthur added "And you are not good at lying. If someone asks if you can do magic. Don't stutter, Don't turn pale, but most of all reply 'No I'm Not A Bloody Warlock'. Now you say it Merlin until I know that you have it. I can't lose you even though you are the worst manservant in the world."

In the end Merlin had to repeat 'I'm not a bloody warlock' until he couldn't speak due to having a sore throat and Arthur grinned at Merlin. Merlin thought to himself 'Arthur really is sadist.'

Arthur told Merlin before he left "Oh and Merlin when you can talk again. You have to do this again."

Merlin glared at Arthur and Arthur laughed as Merlin walked away. Arthur thought 'I have to make sure Merlin says these words and remembers them even under a tense situation. To make sure he doesn't act like an idiot and get caught. I can only do so much as I'm only the crown Prince not the King yet. When I'm King thing's will be different.'

Merlin grimly thought 'Arthur is a royal and sadist Prat, but at least he will not tell my secret. I trust Arthur.'
