Merlin POV
Guinevere got back from the kitchens with a tray full of food.
"Where's Arthur?" I asked.
She smiled.
"Believe it or not, he's doing your chores." She replied.
Arthur?
"Are you sure? Is he ill? Why can't he eat with us?" I asked shoving a spoon full of the mushroom soup into my mouth.
Gwen smiled, And started eating her food.
"It's funny he just said he didn't have the time. And he said Gaius is making him clean the leach tank." She said still more happily.
I gave a chuckle almost choking on the last bit of my soup. I moved on to eating the bread and cheese and drinking the wine.
"I wish I could see him, you don't know how long I've wanted to see him actually do work." I said.
Guinevere looked at me sternly.
"Merlin don't be rude, why would you say something like that?" she said.
The truth is, I don't know why I said that. It was like I wasn't thinking; I just said what I thought.
"Gwen, I feel, dizzy." I said, almost biting my tongue. "I think that wine is a little too strong. It's funny cause normally it takes a lot more to get me drunk, which makes sense since I'm strong in my own way and, no one can beat me cause I am awesome, but we shouldn't talk about that, how are you?" I said faster than I could think.
"Merlin how are you awesome? You're nothing but a servant." She said.
"And you sound like Morgana." I said.
I had forgotten in all the commotion that Morgana had kidnapped Gwen a few weeks back.
"I am awesome, because that's the way I am and neither you nor morgana can change that!" I said. "Tell Morgana, I won't tell you anything."
"Oh yes you will. What are you hiding from me?" she said forcefully.
I thought about it.
"I'm a super powerful sorcerer and there's nothing you can do about, you are no match for my awesomeness and the order of the dragons." Now I was just saying whatever came into my head to cover up that I actually told her!
Gwen looked a little annoyed.
"Was that true?" she asked.
"Of course it was… I love the order of the dragons and the servants code." My lies were getting lame.
"Your just making stuff up." She said very angry. "You will tell me everything you know about the sorcerer emrys!" she yelled.
"I think he's male, Gaius keep's him well educated in everything that happens and often helps him. And…. He smart." I said so weirdly, trying to convince her I was still lying.
"Doe's emrys always talk about himself in the third person?" she asked.
"Of course he doesn't, why?" I said.
I knew what she ment but hopefully that was something to get me to tell her who he was and not that she actually thought I am. My mind was getting foggier.
"I ask you once more, Who is he."
Whatever she druged me with finally worked.
"Me."
