Chapter 10
Merlin and Gwen stood in the vast corridor.
Merlin was both pleased but yet so ashamed that he dared not look at Gwen.
"I have to…go now…"
Merlin turned and almost ran down the corridor until he got to Arthur's chambers.
"Ah, there you are Merlin, come here a second, will you?"
Merlin gasped.
He walked slowly towards Arthur.
"Stop dilly dallying, Merlin!"
Merlin tried to pick up the pace, but his legs disobeyed him and wouldn't move fast enough.
"Merlin, sometime today would be excellent."
Arthur's voice dripped with sarcasm.
"Yes, My Lord, anything you say, My Lord."
Merlin mocked his tone.
Once inside the King's chambers, Merlin relaxed a little and waited for him instructions.
"Merlin, I want you to keep an eye on Guinevere for me…"
Merlin looked up.
"Why, what's wrong with…Gwen, I mean the Queen?"
"I feel that Guinevere is in danger, and I want you to spend every second of your day watching her to see if you can convince her to open up to me more about...things…"
Merlin gritted his teeth.
Great, that's all he needed…
