Gwen walked out of Morgana's room, it had been such a confusing week; Morgana now knew about Arthur and her, which meant Morgana wanted to know anything new everyday, Merlin hinted all the time- various innuendos, involving Gwen visiting Arthur's chambers an awful amount of the time- coming out flustered. Of course it was lies, they kissed and cuddled- but nothing more. Morgana kept on saying how happy she was looking; always smiling, always happy.
Suddenly a hand grabbed around her waist and pulled her into a corner. She was about to scream but she recognised the hand. "Arthur!" she turned around, still in his arms, to look at him. "What?" he asked, playing stupid with his eyes wide and alluring.
"I love you" she whispered, kissing him gently on the lips.
"I love you to" he replied, kissing her back.
"Now let me go" she attempted to move out of his arms but with no effect.
"No, I need you, I want you- marry me" he was joking now, they both started laughing but stopped quickly when they heard footsteps coming towards them.
"Who is it?" Gwen mouthed; Arthur drew his arms around her waist even more, drawing her in as they hid in the crevice.
"Just the man I was going to see" Arthur whispered, Gwen looked at him puzzled. "Uther" he mouthed. Gwen stiffened in his arms. "It's ok, he needs to find out one day" he whispered, Uther was metres away now- if only they could hide more, Gwen thought.
Uther walked up to the crevice, he stood there and peered in, "Come out, I won't bite" Uther called, peering into crevice. He was in a good mood today, Arthur could tell, and there was no other option for Arthur and Gwen. Arthur moved around Gwen and came out of the shadows.
"Arthur?" he looked at him in shock.
"Father" he replied, looking embarrassed.
"I thought it might be some of the servants, I know how they can be having secret relationships" Uther said, laughing. Arthur gulped as his heart sped up.
"So, why were you in there?" Uther looked into the crevice, he knew someone else was in there but he wanted to hear Arthur's lies.
"I was…um….checking the wall……yes….I heard that there might be some…..cracks" Arthur said, clearly making it up- if they had not been in such an awkward position Gwen would have laughed.
"Arthur, do you honestly think I would believe that?" Uther asked, looking amused.
"I was hoping, I……need to introduce to you someone" Uther looked at Arthur, he knew Arthur had been in love with someone- the way he acted now was different, not like he used to be. He must be seriously attached, which was good- he just hope it would be someone….what was the word…..agreeable.
"I don't want you to blame her, I don't want you to accuse her of Witch Craft- she is certainly not a witch and my love for her has not been enchanted- but I would like to introduce Guinevere." Arthur drew in breath as Gwen, embarrassed and nervous walked out of the crevice, taking cobwebs off of her dress. She curtsied "My lord".
Uther stared, a servant? This was going to be difficult…..
I promise there will be merlin/morgana in the next chapter! I just thought I should bring in the main part. Do you think I should bring Sir Elon back in the next few chapters? Please review!
