King Uther, Queen Ygraine, Prince Arthur, Princess Morgana, Lady Merlin and various knights and members of the court stood on the steps waiting for the arrival of Prince Marcus, who was coming alone, as his very elderly father was ill, it was rumoured that the King was on his death bed, which made Uther very happy, but then again it was only rumoured so no one was allowed to speak a word about it, nobody wanted to upset the Prince, for this alliance was very special to Uther and if anyone were to ruin it, the King would waste no time chopping off their head.

The sounds of horses hooves clattering on the ground and wheels going along the stone floor, alerted everyone that the Prince was in Camelot and would be in front of them any second now, everyone stood up straight as the carriage came in front of them.

Prince Marcus stepped out of the carriage and was helped out by two male servants. Merlin was happy to see that this man was very handsome and looked much like he had in her dream only older and more handsome instead of cute.

His brown hair was longer, covering his ears and flicked out slightly by them and had freckles painted on his cheeks, which Merlin could just about make out. He was very tall, taller than Arthur who stood at 6', Merlin estimated that he was 6'2 at the least, and he was very well built, although not as muscular as Arthur.

Prince Marcus smiled and walked over to the royals and the people with them, his eyes focusing on Merlin, knowing her from the minute he had stepped out of the carriage, she looked just the same as she had when they were younger, only now she was far more astonishingly beautiful and had a very womanly curvy body and was filled in, in all the right places, as well as a face to die for, beautiful ebony hair that frame and complemented her face perfectly and as far as Marcus could work out, her eyes were blue, although not very dark, maybe dark blue. Marcus stopped walking when he reached King Uther.

"Your highness." Prince Marcus bowed at the King.

"Your majesty." King Uther bowed back, as did everyone. "Let us lead you to the council room where we will discuss what we will be doing during your visit, setting aside some time for you and Merlin to spend together." Uther grinned at Merlin who blushed and looked downwards, not seeing the smirk Prince Marcus sent over to her.

"I'd love that." Merlin blushed even more, and with her head down she didn't see the glare Arthur sent Prince Marcus' way.


After hours in the throne room discussing what Prince Marcus' would be doing in his one week visit as well as beginning some discussions the council was dismissed and Prince Marcus walked out of the throne room with the King and Queen of Camelot.

"We are very glad you're going through the commitment your father made over ten years ago."

"I was not going to break a promise that my father made, we take things like this very seriously."

"And how is your father?" Ygraine asked, politely and partly because her husband had asked her to ask the young prince.

"Not well...I fear that I shall become King quicker than I thought."

"I am very sorry." Ygraine said and Uther nodded.

"It's okay, my father became a father at an old age...I knew we would die whilst I was still of a young age, this is why I think marriage is a good idea, I will need a Queen to provide me with heirs."

"Merlin and you you would make beautiful children."

"As long as they look like Merlin, I am sure they will." Marcus said, looking back at Merlin flashing her a smile which she returned and when he looked away she frowned and looked at Arthur by her side who was both frowning and glaring at the other prince. Merlin placed a hand on his arm and his stare went to her, although softening.

"Don't worry." she whispered and he smiled at her before glaring at Prince Marcus again.

"Merlin?" Uther said and Merlin looked towards the King.

"Yes?"

"Would you and Prince Marcus like to spend some time together? Maybe you could show him around Camelot."

"Of course." Merlin smiled at King Uther and then Prince Marcus and looked desperately over at Ygraine who then spoke up.

"Arthur, you can go with them, you can show Prince Marcus the training grounds and let him meet the knights." Ygraine said and Arthur smiled widely.

"Of course Mother, that sounds like an excellent idea." he said and looked over at Prince Marcus who did look amused that someone was going to interrupt his private time with Merlin.

As the three walked off down the corridor and out of the castle, Uther turned to his wife, with a not happy look on his face.

"Why did you tell Arthur to go with them?" he asked.

"Oh Uther, can't I ask my son to do anything?"

"Not if I wanted Merlin and Marcus to have some time alone together."

"Oh, Uther, why don't we have our own alone time?" she asked, moving closer to her husband and putting her hand on his chest and that was all Ygraine needed to do to make Uther forget about Arthur leaving with Merlin and Marcus.
