The trial starts in the morning. King Arthur and his Queen have taken their places in the middle of the council chamber. Both are nervous, Merlin stands behind his king. The room is filled with the people of Camelot. The door opens und two guards lead the old sorcerer Ruwen into the room. Following them are Gaius and Sir Leon. Gaius stops by Ruwen's side, Sir Leon takes his position facing them. Arthur nods and the door closes. He stands up and looks arround. He pauses and makes a step towards the sorcerer. "Ruwen, is it correct , that you used magic without to defend, you used magic without emergency. What do you say?" Ruwen looks arround, his eyes stop at Merlin, who begs him with his eyes, he shakes his head. Ruwen smiles and looks up to the King of Camelot: "Everything you said, is right. I used my magic to let butterflies and flowers appear." A noise runs through the room. Gaius looks at the old sorcerer: "Please, stop talking. Everything you say, make it worse!" But Ruwen shakes his head: "I kept quiet for so long, for to long! To be honest, I kept quiet for the most time of my life. I didn't choose magic. Magic choosed me, I was born with it. Before the great purge, I was a happy man. I was accepted and a normal citizen of my village. After the great purge, I had to hide myself for the rest of my life." He pauses and looks arround. "I have never caused harm. I have a family like others, I plumped fields like others. I worked hard every day, like others. Yes, I have magic. But that doesn't make me walk arround killing people." Gaius tries a last streng view, but than he smiles and nods. Ruwen adds: "Yes, I used my magic, knowing it would bring me death. But I also know, that some people will remind me for even exactly doing that. I have brought back the discussions about magic to Camelot." He looks straight up to his king: "There is no evil in magic. And magic doesn't make you evil." He turns his head towards the peolpe of Camelot. "Look at me, I'm just an old man. There is no need to be afraid of me or of my butterflies. I'm just a man but with magic. Magic can be used for good. Believe me, if I didn't show you, who I'm, you would never have noticed."

A long silence follows and Arthur sits down back on his chair. He is impressed and takes a deep breath: "Please bring on the witness!" Sir Leon makes a step towards his king and bows. Arthur nods: "Sir Leon, have you seen the man using magic?" Sir Leon answers: "Yes, MyLord. This man used magic to entertain people with butterflies and flowers." Arthur asks again: "Are you sure, that this was magic? Couldn't it have been a trick?" Sir Leon shakes his head: "There are no doubts. His eyes changed his color." Arthur sighs: "Thank you Sir Leon. Is there anyone else, who has something to say? May he speak now!" In that moment a young woman makes steps into the middle of the room: "This man, he is my father. Please, I beg you. He is just an old man, to old to beg for merci. That's why I do. Please, let him go. We will leave Camelot and never return." The king stands up: "You accompanied him?" The woman nods: "He told me, that he would like to see the city. I didn't know, what he was planing. If I knew, I never had made it possible." Arthur nods: "Thank you." The young woman bows and takes her place at her father's side. Torn between the laws and his knowledge to do the wrong, he starts walking up and down until Gwen stops him, taking his arm. She looks into his eyes: "Arthur, you have to make a decision. You are the king. You are the chief judge."

Arthur sighs, he looks over to Merlin. His friend still stands behind Arthur's chair without movement. Arthur turns towards his people. Every men seems to stop breathing. As the King of Camelot takes a deep breath, he judges: "In the name of Camelot and his people, in the name of the King of Camelot and his laws, I sentence you to death. You offended our laws." He pauses: "According to our laws, your execution takes place tomorrow by noon." He nods towards his guards, who lead Ruwen out of the room. Now the people of Camelot leave the room, followed by knights. Arthur, Gwen,Merlin, Gaius and Sir Leon stay behind. Arthur doesn't look pleased. Sadly he looks into the round of his friends. Sir Leon makes a step towards his king: "You have done the right thing. Even it feels wrong in this moment. You made the right decision." Artur looks into his eyes: "I've sentenced a man to death because of butterflies!" He shakes his head. Gwen and Gaius look worried. They know how difficult this was for Arthur. They try a smile. Together with Sir Leon, they leave the room. Arthur turns towards his servant. Merlin didn't move. He stands there, behind the chair, without saying a word. As boths views find each other, Merlin makes a step to his king. Both stop and Merlin bows. Arthur takes deep breath. He understands what Merlin has told him with this gesture. Merlin turns arround and leaves the room. Arthur stays inside, dissatisfied with himself and the trial.
