I know, I know, I took half a life to update and I'm so sorry. In the last couple of months my life got specially a complete mass! But here it is the last chapter.

Thank you so much for all the reviews, messages, alerts and favourites. Special thanks to SeverusHermioneForever, Helen, Maya, Someone from Ireland and Navy Babe.

And now, Uther has something to ask Morgana, as well as some information to give to his people.

Have fun! =D

Previously...

It was very late at night as they arrived in Camelot. Gwen and Gaius came to welcome them, with some guards, who helped them to dismount.

Morgana and Merlin smiled at each other as they saw Arthur rushing to meet Gwen, who looked completely relieved now.

"I'd like to thank all of you once again, my friends!" Uther said to his people. "Now it's time to have some rest and tomorrow evening we're going to have a great feast here in the castle. You and all the people of Camelot are invited. I have great news for you all!" Uther said, never noticing he was still holding Morgana's hand. "For now, I wish you a good night!"

Chapter 37

Uther and Morgana walked along the corridor, arm in arm. Arthur and Gwen were walking just behind them.

"Good night, Uther." She said in a very sweet way as they arrived near of the stairs to her chambers.

"Where do you think you're going?" Uther asked with amusement, holding his ward with love.

"My chambers." She smiled at him. "After all that I really need a bath..."

Well, she doesn't want to be there alone, of course. But she was clearly aware of Arthur and Gwen watching them with smiles on their faces. And, very unusually, the lady felt shy. Uther touched her cheek with a smile and Morgana knew she had blushed. Goddess, what's wrong with her tonight?

"Come with me, please." Uther said looking into her eyes. "Stay with me. I can't be away from you again." He leaned in and kissed Morgana. Right on her lips. Softly.

"Oh. My. God!" Arthur couldn't believe his eyes. Not only his father was kissing Morgana, but the girl was enjoying it! Her arms wrapped around his neck, bringing the king closer. Promptly the prince received a poke from Gwen. "Well, I think they're going to have a good night and we aren't needed here..." He joked and took Gwen's hand, going to his chambers.

So the king just took his ward's hand and guided her to his chambers. Suddenly he stopped their way for another needy kiss, Uther pressing Morgana against the wall, caressing all her body and ravishing her mouth until both of them pulled away, breathing hard and laughing.

"Come, my dear... we still have so much to say..." Uther said dreamily with his eyes shining, making Morgana amused and continuing walking with her.

"Uther, I've missed you so much too..." Morgana told him when they were about to arrive in his chambers. "But maybe I should go to mines before we meet... I really need a warm bath and some clean clothes..." She smiled at him a bit shyly.

"Well, my dear Morgana... Maybe I can help you with that!" The king said opening the door.

Morgana couldn't believe her eyes! Uther's chambers had been specially prepared to receive them. In a way the lady just could imagine in a fairytale.

"I am happy you are back, your highness. And Lady Morgana, of course." Hildebrand! She should have imagined... "How are you?"

"We're both fine, Hildebrand, thanks." Uther smiled.

"I am happy to know." He answered. "I have done everything just like you instructed me sir." The manservant continued politely. "Oh, and when I noticed you were back I came here to prepare a bath."

"It's amazing!" Morgana was very surprised. "Uther! You..." She smiled, making Uther kiss her quickly and Hildebrand just looked away.

"Thank you, Hildebrand." The king approved the good work.

"And I took the liberty to ask Miss Guinevere to bring some of Lady Morgana's clothes here, so you will not have any trouble in the morning." The comment made Morgana blush and give him a thankful smile. "Now, if you don't need my help, I will leave you..."

"Oh, yes! Thank you again, Hildebrand, everything is perfect as always!" Uther approved while the man bowed and left.

Morgana looked around, admiring the good work. The table had a basket of fresh fruits, some of their favourite foods and the better wine from the castle cellar. Oh, and flowers! The most beautiful roses Morgana has ever seen. The tub had a scented steam and two soft white towels waiting for them beside it. And the bed! Oh goddess! White sheets and some red rose petals over it. As if it wasn't enough, the place was warm and comfortable because of the bright fire dancing in the fireplace. Perfect!

"So I presume you've liked it." Uther was proudly looking at Morgana's enchanted face. Just before leaving to rescue his ward, he asked Hildebrand to set a romantic scene in his chambers, telling him exactly what he wanted and what he intended to ask the lady. For his great surprise, the manservant greeted him, very happy for them. And when Uther confessed he was afraid Morgana says no to him, the manservant just said it was foolish, because Morgana was clearly in love and would like very much his proposal...

"You... you made all this for me?" She couldn't believe her eyes. Uther nodded. "I loved it!" She threw herself into his arms and kissed her Uther passionately.

Uther went to the table with her and filled two goblets with wine.

"To us!" He toasted. After they taste the good wine, the king continued. "Morgana, you know I'm completely in love with you."

Her eyes were bright and a beautiful smile came to her lips, making Uther relax a bit (just a bit!) and smile too.

"Uther... I love you too! In a way I've never imagined to be possible." She caressed his cheek and the king soon took her hand gently and kissed it before he couldn't control himself. Because you just can't mix wine and love and a romantic scene and expect nothing to happen...

"Please, Morgana, let me continue, my dear." She looked at him curious. "I've been thinking in a beautiful way to say it... always waiting for a perfect situation. But then I had that problem in the championship and once it was solved that terrible man took you away from me. But now I'm going to say it. Because perfect moments don't exist, we made our moments the way we like to."

He took a breath and noticed he talked just like the dragon. Morgana, however, didn't seem to mind. She was looking at him touched. Uther took both the goblets and put them on the table. Then he knelt holding her hand with one of his, his other one in his pocket.

"Uther!" She smiled a bit scared when the king knelt in front of her, looking at the lady as if she were a goddess. "What...?"

"Marry me, Morgana!" He said in an only breath, making Morgana gasps. Their eyes locked into each other's, shinning even more than stars. "Give me this honour." He gave her the most beautiful ring she has ever seen. It was a gold ring, with an elaborately lapidated red ruby on it. Inside of it, she could read 'eternal love'.

"My love... you..." Morgana didn't know what to say. And considering it was Morgana, that wasn't something usual. So she just smiled while Uther put it on her finger. It fitted perfectly well.

"Be my wife." He kissed her hand. "Be my queen." He kissed her hand once again. "Be forever by my side" He repeated the movement of kissing her hand, making Morgana giggle. "Make my dreams come true..."

When he was about to do it again, Morgana helped him up and kissed his lips, pressing their bodies together in the process, what made both of them moan in pleasure.

"So..." Uther had a smile. "Is it a yes?"

"Of course it's a yes, my love!" She brought his face near again and received him in another hot kiss.

Uther soon lost his self control. His hands went to Morgana's hips and the king pressed her hard against him, causing both of them to moan. Morgana broke the kiss with a smile, both of them panting... And, without any word, she just smashed their lips together again, forcing her tongue between Uther's lips and hearing his moan. Morgana's tongue danced with Uther's, sometimes gently, sometimes fiercely, seducing the king in a way he would never be able to resist, even if he tried hard to...

Uther, by his turn, was feeling as happy as a little boy in his birthday. He was exploring Morgana's tempting body with both his hands, allowing them to pass by her sides, her breasts (he heard amazed his lady moaning softly) and finally arriving at her back, going to unlace her gown. As his mouth went to her neck, always kissing and teasing her, Uther's eyes focused the warm bath waiting for them, lightened by the moonlight. Around it, some candles, their flame dancing in a hypnotic way.

"Maybe we should enjoy our bath now, while it's still warm, my dear..." Uther suggested nipping her collarbone softly with his teeth.

"I would love it!" Morgana looked at his eyes and let the king guide her to the area near of the tube.

Most of their clothes got missed in their way, so Uther just took his trousers off and entered the tube, taking Morgana's hands and helping her in. The water was very pleasant and she noticed some rose petals floating in the water.

"Uther, I still can't believe you asked Hildebrand to do all this!" Morgana said touched.

"Oh? Maybe this will help you to believe!" He smirked and brought the lady nearer, taking her mouth in another hard kiss.

His tongue just ravished Morgana's mouth, what made the lady moan and the king smirk in satisfaction. Yes, tonight he needed her more than never! Tonight he wanted to make Morgana his, to make her get lost in her pleasure. His hands wrapped her waist and pulled the lady to his lap, where she could meet his hardness. Morgana moved against it, and now it was the king moaning... both of them were breathless as she broke the kiss.

"Uther, I really want you to take me tonight!" She confessed and the king felt his erection pulse. "But I was serious when I said I need a bath first..." She didn't want to say, but after everything, she was feeling kind of dirty and tense. A bath is an excellent way to make a lady relax!

"Hum..." Uther got an idea. "And would you mind if I help you with that, milady?"

Mind? No, Uther, never! On the truth It sounded great to Morgana.

"I'd appreciate your help, my lord." She smirked.

Uther took the scented soap and passed it along her body, smirking when he noticed her shivering at his touches. He passed it by her arms, her back, massaging her sensually, and her feet, which Uther massaged too, making his ward moan. Then his hands came up to her legs, almost arriving at her intimacy but never touching it... not until she begs him to! Then Uther's body smashed against Morgana's back and his hands came to wash her belly delicately, always going up and arriving at her breasts. Uther smiled as Morgana sighed and caressed them with his soaped hands, teasing her nipples and trying to roll them between his thumb and his index. The soap on Uther's hands made her nipples escape and created a delicious sensation to Morgana, who moaned with pleasure. Meanwhile, his mouth kissed and teased her nape all the time, sometimes going to her ear.

"Uther!" She said with urge as he squeezed her breasts and teased her with his erection. "Please, my love, please..." She breathed hard.

He smiled, amused with her urge. His hand came to her intimacy, teasing her and massaging her most sensitive point.

"Is this what you want, Morgana?" He asked more aroused than ever because of her warm body against his and her urgent groans.

"Y-yes!" She breathed and gasped as he introduced two fingers inside her and started moving them in and out... Morgana's head fell back, meeting Uther's shoulder.

He continued pleasuring her until Morgana's body squeezes his fingers and her moans get louder and desperate. So he just stopped.

"Uther... why...?" she couldn't understand. "Continue it!" She ordered.

"Not yet, Morgana." He smiled.

However, his attitude just caused Morgana to turn around and go to kiss him eagerly. Her soaped hands caressed his back and then his muscled chest and abdomen with desire. Meanwhile, her mouth teased his neck and her hips moved against his hardness. She wants him. But before she could have Uther she wanted him to feel the urge she was feeling now. She wanted to torture him and make him feel how much they need each other.

"Oh, my dear! Come on..." Uther was trying hard to control himself.

"Soon, love." She answered in a lovely way, almost calmly, what just made his urge increase.

"You're impossible, Morgana!" His hands came to her hips, willing to bring her body down along his pulsing erection.

"No, Uther." She said in a powerful way, taking his hands in hers.

"Why?" He smirked and tried to bring her down again, making Morgana moan. "I can see how much you need it..."

"Oh!" Her eyes were closed as Uther teased her. "I want it in your bed." She opened her eyes.

Uther promptly got up, helping his lady to stand too and took the soft towels.

As soon as they arrived near of the bed Uther brought Morgana near again and kissed her, his tongue in and out of her mouth, imitating the movements by which their bodies were eager for. When the lady couldn't endure it anymore, Uther decided to torture her a bit more. His mouth went to tease her neck and collarbone with sucks and delicate bites, making Morgana gasp in surprise and delight. Her legs, Uther was happy to notice, started to get weak. So the king smirked and, always teasing her, took his hands to Morgana's waist and drive her to the bed, laying over her, covering her body with his own.

Willing to take control, Morgana managed to roll them, so she was over him now.

"I know that gaze, Morgana..." Uther smirked back to her. "Eager to ride me, aren't you?" He provoked her, his hands slowly caressing her thighs.

"Yes!" In another occasion she would blush. But not now. Never when she was already so excited. It made her a bit surprised, but what was really a shock to her was her voice, which was rough with desire.

She went to her position, hearing Uther gasp in expectation. Morgana lowered her hips, making Uther enter as both of them groaned. He couldn't wait and Morgana knew it. So she started move, eventually increasing her pace. Uther, very surprised and completely aroused, moved his hips with hers. His hands left her thighs and reached her breasts, which were shaking because of their hard movements. He knew Morgana. As much as him, the young woman was eager for power, especially when it comes up to him. So he let her have her fun. However, as soon as he felt Morgana's body squeezing him, his hands went violently to her hips, in an agile movement, making the lady lay back and going over her once again.

"I caught you!" He smiled as she gasped. She clearly didn't expect that!

Morgana couldn't answer. All she could do was bring his head down to kiss Uther. A desperate and passionate kiss. Uther tried to pull away, but Morgana bit his lower lip, making the king groan and go harder on her.

Morgana gasped in surprise when his hands held her wrists over her head. Uther's mouth went to kiss her cheek, her jaw, the area near of her ear... Always teasing her with his erection. All Morgana could do was moan and try to breath during his ministrations. He looked at her and smirked seeing she was completely under his power now. Uther's mouth went down once again, until he found her hard nipple. Giving her a daring gaze, Uther just took it in his mouth. Oh, and sucked! Excruciatingly slowly... One of his hands caressing her other nipple and, the other one was now teasing her intimacy.

Morgana arched against his body, groaning as Uther introduced two of his thick fingers on her body. Her breath was completely irregular and her hands went to pull tenderly his hair. The great pleasure she felt before was coming back.

"Morgana, I need you now..." Yes, indeed. She could feel it against her thigh...

"Then take me!" Her voice was much rougher than she has expected, but Uther seemed to appreciate it.

With a loud groan, Uther held his ward's hips and entered in her body with an only push, causing Morgana to groan too.

"Oh goddess, Uther!" She moved against him and the king didn't lose his time, he just started to move.

Both of them were groaning senseless as Uther's movements got faster and faster. When Morgana's moans were louder and he began to feel her body squeezing him again, he just kissed his beloved ward and rolled her.

"Not yet, my dear!" His rough voice sent a shiver across her body.

"Oh!" She didn't expect that! Now Morgana was laying face down, having Uther on her back. "Uther!" Having sex with Uther is always a surreal experience, but today it was... Oh, so much pleasure! It was almost mystical.

"Tonight you're mine, Morgana." He said roughly just before he penetrated her again, while sucking hard her neck.

His hands went from her hips to her sides and found her breasts once again, squeezing them. As Morgana's hips started dancing with his, increasing the pace, Uther lost the bit of self control he still had. He needed her moaning. He needed her squirming under him and begging for her release. So his mouth went to tease her nape again, kissing, licking, sucking and even biting, never minding about the marks she would have tomorrow. Yes, probably after that special night Morgana would have to use her hair loose in the feast... And that thought made Uther proud.

"Uther, please..." She finally gasped, breathing heavily.

"Hum?" He never stopped.

"I need it... oh! I need it to come..." She said between moans and gasps.

One of his hands went down to her intimacy, teasing her most sensitive point. Morgana's moans got louder than ever while Uther felt her body arching and, once again, squeezing his erection. Ok, he was a comprehensive man... As soon as Morgana came, groaning and squirming, Uther found his release too.

After some moments trying to normalize their breaths, Uther went out her and rolled to the place beside Morgana, holding his beloved against his chest. As she looked to his face, Uther took her mouth once again in a kiss. This time, however, it was gentle and tender.

"I can't tell you how it's possible, Morgana. But after each little moment I live by your side the love I feel just increases." He said passionately, glad to see her eyes shining because of his words. "My future wife!" He kissed her hand, the one that had the ring. Uther still couldn't believe she has said yes.

"Then don't try to explain me, let´s just live it." She said almost by impulse. "I feel the same way." Now it was his eyes shining. "My future husband!" She smiled, still surprised by that beautiful night.

They kissed softly again and stood there, fondling gently, until sleep reached them after an agitated day and an even most agitated night.

It was a beautiful evening. The lady was gorgeous in her dark red gown, the one which let people see a great part of her pale back. Morgana sighed as the guards announced her arrive, opening the heavy doors to the great hall, where there was the feast. As she was announced, Uther excused himself of the conversation with Sir Leon and came to her, his eyes shining with love and desire, making Morgana give him a smile.

"My dear." He kissed her hand politely. "It's time. Come with me!" Morgana took his arm and went with Uther to the table, where Geoffrey waited for them with some documents. "Geoffrey, are the documents ready to be signed?"

"Yes, my lord." The elder man answered. "Whenever you wish to."

"Your attention please!" Uther said loud, receiving people's attention. "As I said you before, recently I could see magic has so many uses, lots of them for good." Merlin and Gaius were looking proud at Morgana and the king. "Now it's time to fulfil a promise I've made to you, my people." People got excited, making the king speak louder to get their attention again. "I have here the new law about magic, and I wish you to listen carefully to it."

Uther sighed and looked amazed at Morgana's smile. So he nodded to Geoffrey and the man started reading it.

"Law about magic in Camelot. This document cancels the previous law about magic, signed 21 years ago. By seeing most of Camelot citizens have magic and are correct people, the present document intend to allow people with magic to use their gifts in Camelot. Everyone with magic will be respected as an equal, a citizen of Camelot. People with magic have the same rights and duties than people without magic in this kingdom. Magic can be freely used by men, women and children, since it doesn't put anyone's life in risk. If a person with magic use it to commit a crime as well as to take any kind of advantage over other people, so this person will be judged by the king and his council, and the reasonable attitudes will be taken."

Uther was happy to see smiles and hope on his people face.

"This afternoon, my ward, Lady Morgana, talked to me and convinced me that a law only is fair when the people conforms it. I..." For a quick moment, Uther got lost on her green eyes. "I think it was a wise idea. The law is about you all, thus you may have different opinions about it and, as your king, I would like to know it. So, please, everyone who agree with the new law, please raise your arm!"

Both Morgana and Uther smiled as almost all the people (if not them all) raised their arms, looking hopeful, happy and relieved even. So Geoffrey gave Uther a quill and the king signed it. After him, Arthur signed the document too, as the throne heir. Geoffrey signed as a witness. During all the time they were signing, the people clapped their hands at them, expressing their approval and gratitude.

"Who is going to be the second witness, sire?" Geoffrey asked.

"Lady Morgana." Uther said, making her and the others very surprised.

Uther gave her the quill and she signed, people still clapping and greeting. As it was done, Uther raised his hands, signalizing he wanted to say something else.

"I'd like to thank my people again for the great help I received yesterday. And I'd like to publically thank Lady Morgana for making me see magic can be a wonderful thing." They smiled at each other. "As my friend Hildebrand said once, magic is not a reason to not love someone. Maybe magic is something which makes a person even more special to us." He kissed her hand politely, noticing his ward sighed. "Lady Morgana, your magic made me see things in a different way. I can say now that because of you and your magic I'm a better man and a better king to my people." The king took a breath. "Just before the entire situation involving magic started, something else started to grow between Lady Morgana and I. Something warm and beautiful." People were looking at them in confusion, some of them with smiles and some in shock. "Yes, my friends, we found love." Uther kissed Morgana's hand once again and caressed her cheek with the back of his finger when he noticed she blushed. "And tonight I'd like to announce you we're going to get married." After some awkward moments, Merlin and Arthur started clapping and soon people were awkwardly clapping too. "Oh, and of course everybody is invited to our wedding." Uther smiled genuinely happy.

"I always imagined it would be Arthur marrying her..." A woman said to her friend.

"He's practically her father! I don't think it's appropriated..." A man commented.

"Yes, and she's too young to marry the king!" An old lady who looked like she would love to be in Morgana's place said bitterly.

"My people, please..." Uther asked for silence again. "I understand it might sound a bit unusual for most of you. But we love each other in a way... we can't even consider being apart!" He sighed. Uther has never expected that kind of reaction from his people.

"Father..." Arthur touched his shoulder, speaking very low, just for his father and Morgana to hear. "Give them some time to accept it."

"Arthur, I can't understand them... I know they love Morgana, why are they not happy?" Uther's voice was heart breaking.

"Oh, they're happy sir." This time it was Merlin. "But sometimes people need a time to realise it." The boy said. "Now, the wisest thing you can do is changing the topic. Say something nice to earn their attention again. Don't let this reaction make you feel sad in such a special day..." Arthur looked surprised at his friend. Yes, the dragon was right.

"Please, silence!" The king asked once again. "I have one last information to give you before we can go back to the feast." People looked curiously once again. After allow magic and announce his wedding with Lady Morgana, could the king surprise them once again in the same night? "I presume most of you know this lad, Merlin. He uses to be Arthur's servant and Gaius' apprentice. Oh, and he has magic. According to the great dragon, Merlin, also known as Emrys, is the most powerful and wise warlock of all these lands, his story is going to become a legend and his name is to be repeated across the ages." People were listening surprised. "And I don't think it's fair have this great warlock here polishing armours and swords. Even if it's the prince's armour..." People laughed a bit. "Well, Merlin, from now you are no more Arthur's servant."

People got agitated again, while Uther smiled.

"What?" Arthur was shocked. "Father! You just can't make Merlin an unemployed!" Morgana laughed at the prince's reaction, already knowing what Uther intended to do. "Besides, where am I supposed to find another good servant?"

"From now, Merlin, I'd like you to be Camelot advisor for magical topics. Do you accept my invitation?" The king declared, making every living soul silent.

"Sir..." Merlin has never expected that! When, in his most crazy dreams, could he consider that situation? He looked at Gaius, who seemed to be very proud. Yes, Hunith's son, coming from a very small and poor village has just changed his history. "It's my honour." Merlin finally replied and wiped a tear. He wished his mother were here to see what had just happened...

"Come on, Merlin, don't be such a girl!" Arthur murmured, making the new magic advisor smile.

People greeted him enthusiastically. So the music began and all the presents feasted cheerfully for almost all the night. Yes, a new future is rising in Camelot. A better one. A future in which dreams finally might come true.

THE END

Uther and Morgana... will return!
