I am soooo sorry it took me so long to update! School has been keeping me really busy but I have 2 weeks of break so I will update more often! Until then, hope you enjoy chapter 3! :)

larasmith: Indeed it is! They will meet Gwen soon. There will be more revealed about Merlin in the following chapters but let's just say that he still has secrets ;) Of course there will be a reunion between Arthur and the girl soon but they might not recognize each other right away because of Arthur's hidden identity. The reason for the war between Camelot and Monterrey will be revealed eventually. Thanks for the review! :)

LHC1: Haha well that question is answered in this chapter. Thanks for the review! :)

Shikamarufan14: Thank you Juanitaaa! :D I appreciate your feedback!


"I beg your pardon?" Arthur asked dumbfounded. He could not believe his ears. How could this Merlin possibly know who he is?

"Relax your highness. I am the lady Katrina's servant. She told me to come fetch you." Merlin said with a teasing smile.

"Oh... well I did not know that she would send you." said the embarrassed prince.

He did feel somewhat relived that his secret identity wasn't completely blown.

"And you must be the lovely lady Morgana." Merlin said smiling to the princess he had just saved.

"That I am." she said warmly returning his smile.

"Well then I shall escort you to the lady Katrina's abode."

They soon reached the home that would be theirs in Falaisia and Morgana was amazed by what she saw as they approached the establishment. The house was quite to her liking. It was one that was of a fair size, although it still had a quaint village look to it. The habitation was made of grey stone at it's foundation, with wood framing the windows and the top part of the house was made of smooth white cement topped with wooden panels spaced out evenly. The panels were connected to the roof, which was made of the same wood from the neighboring forest and on the right side of it sat a small chimney. The windows were decorated with wildflowers outlining the diamond shaped patterns of the glass, as well as the window sill. The door was made of the same wood as the roof and paneling, but also contained a small window, allowing whoever was inside to peak at their visitor before opening the door. Arthur, contrary to his sister's reaction, was rather indifferent at the sight of the house. As long as the house had a comfortable bed to offer ,as well as some privacy, he was satisfied. He did not have expectations, as this was a hideout of some sorts. He seemed surprised to see his sister act so awestruck, as this house was not quite well... castle material. She was reaching out to touch everything she saw: every pattern, every plant. She seemed like she was in her own little world and completely oblivious to the people in her company. The prince found the young servant, Merlin, smiling proudly at the princess's actions. He almost seemed intrigued by her behavior. Not wanting to wait until sundown before finally entering the house, Arthur cleared his throat in a rather not so subtle manner. Morgana immediately rolled her eyes at her brother before turning towards the servant.

"Please excuse his rude behavior, Merlin. Arthur is just quite used to getting his way." the princess said in an accusing tone.

Arthur looked away, embarrassed as Merlin laughed and shook his head.

"It is no problem at all milady. I would be honored to show you in." he replied.

With those words, all three walked inside the house. The inside was as charming as the outside of the home. The walls were a soft shade of green, almost too soft to be noticed at first glance. The wood paneling from the exterior continued on the inside, contouring the perimeter of the house. In the room they were presently in was a warm fireplace with a cauldron that seemed to be filled with hot water. At the foot of the foyer lay a red rug, complete with blue and black designs.

"I hope my humble home is to your satisfaction."

The newly arrived guests turned their heads to face a middle-aged woman with long red hair, held two braided strands held together at the back of her head. Her dark brown eyes held a glint of amusement in them as she noticed her guests' astonished reactions to her presence. Her face held soft features despite her age and her stature showed a sense of poise. She wore a long scarlet dress with gold embroidery at the elbows of her sleeves, as well as at her mid-chest.

"I apologize, I did not mean to startle you. I am the lady Katrina." she said with laughter in her tone.

"It is quite alright milady." Arthur responded. "We are very grateful for your courteous hospitality."

"You are quite welcome. Please make yourselves at home during your stay. If you ever need anything, do not be afraid to ask either Merlin or myself." she said with a smile, which Merlin immediately replicated.

"Thank you." the two siblings said while bowing their heads.

"Hmmm so you must be Arthur, the brave and strong knight, and you must be Morgana, the elegant and charming lady." Katrina said with amusement in her voice.

Arthur smirked at her comment, while Morgana blushed.

"Thank you." they said in unison.

Katina smiled as she already saw how similar yet different they were from one another.

"Well, you two must be worn out from your journey here. Merlin, would you care to show them to their rooms?" she requested.

"Not at all milady." Merlin said with a cheerful smile as he lead the two siblings to their separate chambers.

"The door on the right is the lady Morgana's room and the one on the left is the lord Arthur's." he informed.

"Thank you for everything Merlin." Morgana said with a smile before touching his forearm and stepping inside her room.

"Thank you Merlin." Arthur said plainly before entering the room next door.

Merlin sighed as he shook his head at the two royals. He couldn't help but smile when Morgana looked at him. She was always so kind and was extremely beautiful. He recalled her long wavy raven locks and her icy blue eyes. Her creamy pale skin looked so smooth and brought out her soft pink lips. On the other hand, Arthur had blond golden hair that could be compared the the rays of the sun. His eyes were ocean blue, the only physical feature besides his pink lips that was similar to his sister. The young servant couldn't help but hold some excitement at the thought of helping those two monarchs that were under the roof of his mistress. This reminded him of how he first came to know the lady Katrina. He had just arrived in Falaisia when she took him under her wing. Even though he was her servant, she treated him more like a son. Yet, he still did not tell her where he came from and why he came to Falaisia. Merlin sighed at the thought. Perhaps when he had accomplished his purpose he would tell her. Until then, Merlin knew that he had a plan to set into motion.


And this brings us to the end of the chapter! What is Merlin up to? ;) Thank you for the reviews! :D They are very appreciated!
