Arthurs note: I couldn't think of a name for Arthur's fiancé so I just named her Hannah and she's mine.

Arthur woke up the next morning to an empty bed. He looked around and didn't see Merlin anywhere. He was about to get up but his door opened. Merlin entered with his morning breakfast. He sat it on the table and looked up at Arthur. "You're father wants to see you after you eat, sire."

Arthur looks down "So were back to sire now."

Merlin looks away from Arthur and went about his choirs. Arthur just got up and ate and when he was finish Merlin dressed him and together they left. Walking down the hall Arthur couldn't stop looking at Merlin. "Merlin"

Merlin looks over at him. "Yes sire"

Arthur stops him. "Would you stop with the sire? Merlin about last night, can we talk about it?"

Merlin walks off "There's nothing to talk about sir…I mean Arthur. You're fathers waiting and I don't want to get yelled at for making him wait."

Arthur sighs but follows Merlin to the banquet room. When they entered the room was full of people. Arthur walked up to his father with Merlin right behind him. "Father you wanted to see me?"

Uther smiles "Ah Arthur so glad you're here." He stood and tapped his glass with his fork. "Ladies and gentleman I've called you all here this morning to give you the future queen and Arthur's fiance Miss Hannah Brightly."

As the room cheered Arthur and Merlin turned to see her. A real beauty walking toward them. Merlin stepped to the side and let her get to Arthur.

She smiled "Hi Arthur"

Arthur smiles, talks her hand and kisses it. "Miss Brightly."

Uther turns to Merlin "Merlin you can have the rest of the day off. So my son can get to know his future wife."

Merlin bows and leaves the room. Not looking at the guilty look on Arthur's face.

Merlin went to his chambers, thankful Gaius wasn't there, and into his room. He laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

A little while later he heard his door open and Guinevere walks in. "Hey Merlin how are you?"

"What are you talking about?" Merlin asked not looking at her.

"What do you think? Morgana told me about the wedding with Arthur." She said sitting down next to him.

"I knew it was coming sooner or later." Merlin admitted "He's the future King I never should have started this with him."

"But you love him."

Merlin sits up "I know but I knew I would end up with a broken heart."

Gwen smiles and got up "Come on" she holds out her hand.

Merlin takes it "Where are we going?"

"Since you have the day off we're going out." She pulls Merlin off the bed and they left.

They were walking in the village when Merlin bumped into Lancelot, he quickly apologies "Oh sorry Lancelot I didn't see you."

He smiles "It's ok" he looks at Gwen "Miss Gwen"

She smiles "Sir Lancelot"

He turns back to Merlin "So how are you Merlin?"

Merlin nods "Good"

Lancelot looks at Gwen who seems to get the message and she walks off. "So um I was wondering if you would like to join me on a hunt this afternoon."

Merlin looks down "Really, me"

Lancelot chuckles "Yeah of course you who else would I be talking to."

Merlin looks up and his face turns red. "I don't know if I should."

"Oh are you busy." He asked looking disappointed.

Merlin shakes his head. "Well not but…I…um you know what yeah. I would love to get out of here and since I'm off I don't have to be back until late."

Lancelot smiles "Good well shall we." Lancelot holds out his hand.

Merlin looks back at Gwen who smiles and nods. He turns back to Lancelot and takes his hand.

Gwen watches them go before going up to Morgana's room. She was almost at the door when she saw Arthur and Hannah walking. She walks up to them. "Excuse me sire but may I have a word with you?"

Arthur nods "Sure" he walks away with her. Before she could say anything Arthur does. "Have you seen Merlin I haven't seen him since he left the banquet?"

Gwen looks down "Oh um he left."

"He left what do you mean he left?" Arthur says

"He had the day off so he left with Sir Lancelot." She says

Arthur just stares at her "Oh um well when he comes back would you tell him that I would like to talk to him?" Gwen nods and Arthur goes back to Hannah. Gwen goes inside.

Hannah's chambers

Arthur walked over to the window and saw Merlin riding out of the village with Lancelot.

Hannah walks up behind him. "Are you ok sire?"

He jumps and looks at her. "Yeah um let's get you settled in shall we.
