Hey everyone! soz for not updating last week, my Wi-fi was down and I couldn't do anything, also I have been busy. Soo enough from me!

Chapter 11:

Arthur's POV:

"Merlin?" I cautiously ask, not wanting to ruin the moment he and my newly found Cousin were sharing. I was still in utter shock, we had just found out Merlin was a prince, the future King of Wales, and for the past year he has been my servant tending to my every needs whether cleaning my chamber or mucking out the stables, I had even used him as a training dummy. There was also the fact that Merlin was destined to marry Isabella, to become a King and restore magic to all lands, (with the help of myself, obviously), that made me feel even more shocked.
"Yes?" I hear Merlin answer, bringing me out of my thoughts. He was now turned towards me, Isabella still clinging to his side as if she thought he would disappear at any moment.
"What are we going to do?" I ask the question everybody was obviously thinking.
"Well I guess we should tell Uther since Isabella is his Niece. After that we go to my Mother?" He asks turning towards Isabella waiting for her answer, she looks up to him staring into his eyes as if they were having a private conversation, until they both turned towards me again serious looks on their youthful faces.
"We tell Uther first but we leave out the fact Merlin is a Prince for now, until his Mother confirms he is indeed a Prince" she says as I nod my head in agreement. It was at that moment I had the first real chance to look over Isabella, now it had been revealed she was my cousin I could see the similarities between her and I, her hair was slightly darker then mine long and flowing, her cheek bones and face was the same shape as I, except more feminine, she was tall for a woman at least half a head taller than Morgana, she was also slim. The only difference was her eyes, they were a emerald green, an impossible shade of green even more beautiful than of Morgana's. I stood watching her take comfort in Merlin for a moment more before I come to my senses again.
"I will get you a meeting with the council immediately, go back to Gaius's chambers. I will send someone down when the King is ready" I announce as I start to walk off adding over my shoulder "And Merlin, let Gaius check over you!" before making my way into the castle taking the steps by two, making my way to my farther's chambers. I swing his chamber door open not bothering to knock and stride in.
"Arthur, have you ever heard of knocking!?" Farther exclaims
"I have but I have come here to ask you with great urgency to gather the council" I announce making my voice as demanding as possible.
"And why is that?" He enquires his voice full of authority and arrogance.
"A girl wishes to speak to you, she has something important to announce"
"What is it she requests to speak to me about?"
"It is not my place to tell, just organise a meeting"
"Not until I know what she wants" he says, not giving in.
"Please farther, just get the council together. Just give her a chance and she will explain, she will be important to you"
"Aright, make sure she is ready in 10 minutes. The council will be waiting" And with that he strides out of the room.

Merlin POV:

I watch Arthur make his way into the castle before turning back to Isabella who was still clutching my arm. She look up at me and I feel myself being sucked into her beauty once again, finding it impossible to look away, enchanted in her green eyes and the feel of her in my arms.
"Oi! Merlin!" I hear Gwaine say bringing me out of my trance.
"Wh..what?" I stutter making a wide, mischievous smirk make its way across each of the knights faces.
"Don't you need to get to Gaius's chambers?" he reminds me winking, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"Oh yeah" I mutter before leading Isabella away from the smirking knights and towards Gaius's chambers a red blush making its way across my cheeks, my ears burning of embarrassment as heat from my rosy cheeks travelled to my ears. As we finally reach the physician quarters I swing the door open, finding Gaius mixing a red concussion of chemicals.
"Ah Merlin, your back" Gaius says as he adds another ingredient to his draught.
"Indeed...Gaius?" I question, Arthur's idea to get checked over an appealing idea as the adrenaline from my run in with the witch had ebbed away and pain took its place, a burning sensation made its way over my back, the fall off Eirwen a harder one than I thought.
"Yes my boy" He answers
"Arthur told me to get you to look me over" I grimace
"Why what happened?"
"its a long story" I answer as he sighs and points to the bed I previously occupied. I walk over to him, letting go of Isabella's hand, as he starts to ask me questions while I sit my self on the bed.
"Where are you hurt?" He enquires
"Only my back" I tell him
"Take off your shirt, I need to examine the injured area" he says his voice commanding. I hesitate for a moment before grabbing the corners of my shirt and lifting it over my shoulders, a sense of deja vu, as it reminded me of the first time Gaius treated me. I grimace again as Gaius prods my back.
"Just bruises, nothing serious. They should heal in three days time. You might be a little stiff, but nothing to worry about" He says as he applies a salve on my back, cooling the burning sensation into merely a spark of pain. I quickly pull my shirt back over my shoulders, before standing again just as Arthur bursts into the room, slightly out of breath as if he had been running.
"The Council is ready!" He exclaims as he turns back around rushing off again towards the direction of the throne room. I turn to Isabella rolling my eyes at her and saying "What a dollop head" which received a giggle before we rushed after him, Gaius hot in out heels.

As we reach the throne room Arthur stood waiting, before he opened the door and walked into the giant hall.I look at Isabella nervous form, squeezing her shaking hand before letting it go as she walked into the throne room, knowing the King of Camelot, her Uncle, waited for her to reveal all.

Isabella POV:

I stride into the giant throne room, its roof towering above its walls looming, the light of the day shining through the windows falling onto the King as he sat on his throne awaiting my presence. Arthur stood by the Kings throne his head held high, proudly stood next to his farther. He sends me a reassuring smile as I finally reach the front of the kings throne.
"What is it you wish to talk to me about?" Uther says his voice strong and authoritative as he looks down at me.
"I have a matter to discuss with you, involving your Sister" I announce as a collective of gasps made its way through the council.
"What of her?!" He demands before adding "Do you know of her location?"
"She is dead Sire" I say my voice thick as I attempt not to let my emotions get the better of me.
"Wh..what?" The great King stutters in utter disbelief and grief. "How do you know of this?!" He demands again
"She died Four year ago Sire, in a small village in Wales. It was not a peaceful death for she was cursed by a witch and her sister, she died in agony, the wretched witch stood over her dealing her the final death blow, all the while her daughter watched on. The witch also cursed her before she managed to get away, in a hope to find Camelot and to break her tortuous curse."
"Where is she now? Where is my Niece?" He asks urgently his voice shaking with emotion, his eyes pleading for me to tell him. I turn behind me to Merlin and he nods his eyes giving me comfort and strength, before I turn back around facing my ageing Uncle.
"She's here" I say looking the man in front of me in the eyes
"Where?" he asks desperately not yet figuring out that it was me.
"It is me."
