I do not own Merlin. Thank you all for reviewing ^_^

Why Were You Staring At My Uncle

By waterrain

"Here are some roses from a fair and beautiful maiden." Merlin informed Agravaine while managing to keep a very serious expression despite the fact it was difficult not to laugh at Agravaine's stunned face. Maybe Agravaine has never received a dozen dead roses from anyone, a few petals fell to the floor, and it was completely quiet for about a minute.

"What is the name of said maiden?"

"Nilre." Merlin replied calmly and he was mentally chuckling.

"Never heard of her." Agravaine stated to his Nephew's manservant.

"Well, She has seen you. Nilre finds you to be very attractive and she wonders if you are single."

"I would like to see this Nilre."

"Sadly she left a couple of hours ago to visit her sickly father. I'm not sure when she will be back." Merlin said to him.

"Whenever she does return have her brought to my chambers." Agravaine said simply and he has a feeling that Nilre is responsible for planting questions in his Nephew's manservant's mind which in turn caused the manservant to plant questions into Arthur's mind. Merlin nodded his head, his expression did not give him away, and he walked off towards Arthur's chambers.

"So did you give your dead roses to my Uncle?" Arthur asked causally to him.

"Yes, but I told him it was from a fair and beautiful maiden by the name of Nilre."

"Merlin, You are an idiot." Arthur stated flatly, he sighed, and shook his head at him. "Honestly you should just tell him."

"I'm just not ready yet, Sire. Have you asked Gwen to marry you yet?" Merlin commented cheerfully and it is pretty fun screwing with Agravaine's mind along with having a bit of fun messing with Arthur's mind.

"Shut up, Merlin." Arthur said firmly and his cheeks were flushed. "I'm not ready to ask her to marry me yet."

"Maybe she will ask you to marry her instead of you asking her to marry you. Good luck, Sire." Merlin said calmly and he dodged a cup thrown at him by a blushing King.

Please Review and Thank You ^_^

Nilre…Merlin spelled backwards is Nilrem (Take away the M and it becomes Nilre ^_^)
