So I'm happy that so many of you are enjoying this story, I was going to update yesterday or early this morning, but I didn't get a chance, because I wasn't allowed on my computer last night. And in the last chapter when I said about the librarian, I meant my friend and I annoyed the librarian in the public library, while doing our homework by listening to music - It was very fun she told us to shut up in the end and we refused, so she stomped of somewhere and we started laughing, which she then told us off for when she came back with a glass of water.

Thanks to you all, who alerted, favourited and reviewed.

By the way this is set after 3x11, but before 3x12.


Merlin's eyes didn't seem to land on Arthur, just the floor. Yay for the floor it suddenly had another purpose apart from standing, sitting and sleeping on it which was looking at it as Merlin was so busy doing now.

Arthur wandered if he got down on the floor and just laid there directly under Merlin's eye sight then the boy would have to look at him and have no choice about it. Although knowing Merlin, was Merlin, he would instantly sense Arthur's idea and look in some other direction and the blonde would be left laying on the floor like an idiot.

That was Merlin's job. There was no way it was becoming Arthur's.

Merlin had always been scared of Uther. If Arthur could tell Merlin the unknown truth.

After what seemed like years to Arthur Merlin actually lifted his gaze off of the floor and looked at Arthur. Hooray! At last.

Arthur looked deeply in to Merlin's hurt covered eyes. How he wished that he could just hug the boy there and then. Curse his stupid, horrible father for being here.

Arthur sighed and took in a deep breath before he turned, nervously, to look at his father. "Why, how and when." Arthur asked annoyed.

His father looked confused before he voiced his confusion to Arthur. "What do you mean?" He asked in that same cold tone, Arthur shivered he hated that voice.

"I mean." Arthur started trying to gain his composure again, it had taken him so long just to get it together in the first place. "Why are you hear? How did you know I was here? And finally when did you get here?" Arthur finished his tone of voice wavering from powerful to weak as he spoke.

"Why I'm here Arthur is to take you back to Camelot." Uther answered the first of Arthur's questions.

"And the other questions what are your answers to them?" Arthur asked.

"How I found out that you were here in Ealdor was from some Knights. Shall we go and see them?" Uther asked, but not asked, as he them just walked out the door ushering Arthur to follow.

Arthur turned to open the door, only to find a sad and sorry looking Sir Leo already holding it open for him. He walked out of the small house and turned to shut the door, but saw the four children, Hunith and Sir Leon following him.

But not Merlin.

Merlin needs rest. Arthur thought.

The six walked over to Uther and the Knights. Arthur grunted and put a hand over his eyes, before continuing to drag it down his face. Percival and the others stood him front of him holding the horses they had used to ride to Ealdor with apologetic looks on their faces.

"They told me." Uther said turning to face his son. "Eventually." He mumbled. However Arthur still heard him, but just decided not to mention it. Not get any way.

He walked over to the Knights and they didn't seem to fear his presence as a bad thing, well from what their faces showed.

"I'm so sorry Arthur, we all are." Owain said bowing slightly.

"It's okay." Arthur said. "I'll find out every thing soon enough anyway."

"Why?" Percival asked.

"I have a feeling that I'll be coming back to Camelot with you all." Arthur said unhappily.

He turned to his father and gave him a questioning look. His father seemed to know what this look meant, so spoke up.

"The Knights and I arrived late last night, but you and your servant weren't here." Uther explained while walking back towards the horses.

Arthur hated how his father referred to Merlin as a servant. How he had said the word with such hate. But to his father that was all Merlin was a simple servant.

But he wasn't to Arthur.

That didn't matter though. While his father was King, it could never be Arthur's way.

"Come on Arthur."

"Come on Arthur what?" Arthur asked turning to his father who had already mounted his horse.

"We are going back to Camelot."

"I'll get Merlin." Arthur went to leave, but was quickly stopped by his father.

"With out your servant I'm getting you a new one." With his new knowledge Arthur stomped away to fetch Llamrei.

He came back minutes later with the bay horse in tow, before mounting and walking forward to stand with his father.

"Lets go." Uther said as he ushered his horse forward. The Knights followed along behind.

Llamrei seemed reluctant to leave, with out saying goodbye to Mystery, who if Arthur thought back he hadn't actually seen standing eating hay in the barn with Llamrei, but the blonde Prince decided to wave it off as nothing for now.

Arthur looked back to the village and to his surprise saw most of the villagers waving to him, with sad faces.

The one face he didn't see was Merlin's. Which brought him back to his earlier theory. Merlin was resting, that was all he was only resting.

At least that's what Arthur thought, but Llamrei seemed to know otherwise.
