Sorry this one's really short but I'm still working on the next chapter which should be up soon. Please read and review!

Thanks for all the reviews: you guys make me so happy :)


Arthur and Merlin scoured every corridor and chamber in the entire court in their hunt to find Morgana. She wasn't in her chambers and Gaius hadn't a clue where she was either, so Arthur began to worry.

"Merlin, did Gwen mention anything yesterday about what Morgana was intending to do today?"

"No, but she's probably fine. They might have gone out on a ride," Merlin suggested, trying to ease the young Prince's tension.

"Well, I'm going to ask Father if he knows where she is first. I haven't got all day to run around the court unfortunately,"

Arthur had made his decision so he and Merlin sought out King Uther in the throne room. When they found him, he was swamped by his usual royal advisers and some locals who needed help of some sort. As soon as he saw his son enter with a troubled look on his face, he bid his advisers to sort out the problems brought forward while he tended to his son.

"Arthur! What is it?" Uther never seemed to bother with a friendly greeting or an enquiry into how his son was feeling.

"Father, I know you are busy, but I have come to you to ask if you know where Morgana is. I can not find her at all,"

"I assume you haven't checked the stables. If you had, Arthur, you would have noticed that her horse was gone. She and her maidservant have ridden out to Gorlois's grave. They will not be returning until later this afternoon,"

"Sorry to have troubled you ,father. I shall remember to check the stables from now on," Arthur and Merlin bowed down to their king before leaving the throne room.

"Merlin, do you have anything to do for Gaius or are you free to spend the whole day with me?" Arthur raised an eyebrow at Merlin and stared at him with his piercing blue eyes.

Merlin could have sworn Arthur's eyes made a chill run down people's spines when he glared at them.

"What do you want, Arthur?" Merlin rolled his eyes at the Prince as he broke out in a smirk that told Merlin he wasn't going to enjoy his day.

"Well, seeing as Morgana and Guinevere have left for the day, I thought we should go on a ride too!" Arthur announced. He burst out into laughter at the look of horror on Merlin's face. His sensitive bottom still wasn't used to being on horseback for hours on end.


How was it? Chapter 5 should be up soon. I've got no more exams all week so I'll have time to make it longer and more interesting promise there will be more fluff/romance :) Please review!
