Chapter two
Arthur was placed in the cell next to his men, the Knights of Ealdor unshackled Arthur's hand from behind his back and forced Arthur down onto the fall, where they began to shackle him to it, so that Arthur would be unable to stand up
While the knights of Ealdor were doing this Arthur's men were yelling and screaming that they had it all wrong, Leon was in the corner of their shared cell crying as he felt helpless to help the man that was his best friend and lover
Once the knights of Ealdor were gone one of Arthur's men spoke up
"Sire they believe one of us or even you my lord tried to kill the prince" Arthur looked over to see who was talking to him and smiled when he saw it was Lancelot
Before Lancelot had met and married Gwen he use to spend his time in Arthur's bed, you could say he was the flavour of the month
"Yes, it would seem they found a cloak with the crest of Camelot on it" Arthur informed his men
(ARTHUR & MERLIN)
Back in Camelot the Massager of Ealdor had landed on Uther's throne
"It's from Ealdor, they are the only Kingdom known to use birds my lord" Gaius told his king
Uther was shock when he read the massager
There has to be some explanation? Thought Uther
"My Love what is it?" Ygraine asked her husband after seeing his worried look
"It would seem that someone is trying to set up Camelot" Uther replied
"I don't understand Dear" Ygraine said
"Arthur and his men have been taken prisoner by King Balinor for the crime of trying to murder his son while he spelt" Uther said with a sigh
"My baby" Ygraine cried out
(ARTHUR & MERLIN)
Prince Merlin of Ealdor was not above disobeying his father if he believe it was the right thing to do, and this was the right thing to do he knew it
Prince Merlin made his was down the steps to the dungeons that held Prince Arthur and his noble Knights
Arthur could hear the footsteps of someone coming and he hoped that it was not the person who had framed them for the act they were not imprisoned for
Arthur knew he would be helpless, the way the knights of Ealdor have chained him to the floor meant that he would be unable to fight of his would be attacker
And then Ealdor and Camelot would go to war, maybe that is what the person what Arthur thought
It made senses to him; if Ealdor and Camelot were joined by a peace treaty then Camelot would have the help of Ealdor of Camelot when to war
But as Arthur looked up, his breath seemed to stop in his throat
There standing in front of his cell was the most beautiful man he had ever seen
Merlin was in awe at the sight of Prince Arthur, he had hear the prince was handsome but he had no idea just how handsome
Merlin waved his hand at the cell door opening it up
Merlin did not see Prince Arthur as a threat, even if he was not chain to the floor
Arthur watched as the beautiful figure walked into his cell, he had totally forgot the risk of war until Leon had yelled out
"What do you want with our prince?"
Merlin paid the knight no attention he only had eyes for the imprisoned Prince
Merlin walked closer until he was standing in front of him, Merlin kneeled to he could see that beautiful face more clearly
"I am Prince Merlin of Ealdor, my father seem to think it was you that attacked me" Arthur heard the handsome man speak
"It was not us, we only want peace" Arthur promised
Arthur seem to have got lost in Merlin's beautiful golden eyes
"You are unhurt" Merlin said standing up
"Wait… what are you talking about?" Arthur yelled when he saw merlin was heading for the door
"I wounded my attacker, as he ran I noticed he was bleeding, nor you or your knights are bleeding, nor do you look anything like the man that thought it was easier to try and kill me in my sleep" Merlin informed Arthur
Arthur could think of anything to say, to get Merlin to say and found that he was sad when he was no longer able to see Merlin
(ARTHUR & MERILN)
Merlin walked into his Parents room and smiled at his mother before looking over at his father
"Well?" Balinor asked
"They are not hurt, nor are they the one that tried to attack me" Merlin informed his father
"So they really want peace?" Hunith, Merlin's mother asked
"Yes, Prince Arthur was just here for a peace treaty" Merlin told his mother
"What do you think of Prince Arthur son?" Balinor asked
The king knew that if this new threat was trying to stop a peace treaty from happening there had to be a reason
Treaty could always be broken, but if Uther wanted an alliance between their two kingdoms then that was what he would get
"He's handsome father, I never would have guess he was so gorgeous" Merlin said smiling
(ARTHUR & MERLIN)
Uther planned be planning just going into Ealdor and getting his son, but all plans came a stop when the black Merlin came flying in throw the window
"It would seem King Balinor have something else to say" Gaius said looking at the bird
Uther took the small massage from the bird before it flow right back out the window
Uther finished reading what was going to happen he sat down in his throne in shock
"Sire?" Gaius asked
"It would seem that Balinor has agreed to an alliance, I would seem his son saw his attacker and it was not a member of Camelot" Uther said
"That is a good thing is it not sire?" Gaius asked having a feeling that there was more to it
"Arthur is to marry his son, and only then will he be able to come home"
