Loarn looked quietly as Merlin walked out of the room. He wished that he could understand why his son had done this.
With a deep sigh, he turned around and walked down to the dungeons.
A part of him wished that Merlin had stayed away from a while longer so that this could have been sorted out privately, he knows that Robert would still have gotten the death sentence, but at least it wouldn't have been so cruel.
A deep look of disgust moved over his face when he saw Robert again. Loarn could see the evidence of fighting back from the arrest.
"Robert." His voice was soft. He could not help but feel pity for his son. And on the other hand, he wondered what he did wrong. That his baby went down this path. There was no reason for this. This was never needed.
The only answer he got was the cold glare from his son.
"Why did you do it?" Loarn eyes moved around the cell. It was in the darker part of the dungeons, were the worst of the worst was kept. For a moment he could smell the mould growing the dampness.
The silence stretched out.
"Because I would have never gotten on the throne. What better way than to kill the whole family and then get the throne?" Robert's voice was bitter. He was almost there, then Lillian just had to go and ruin everything.
Loarn gave his son a sad look.
"I thought we gave you all a happy childhood, even if you would have never made it as a king, you still had your own land to look after, that is just as needed for the Kingdom." His voice held a note of sadness to it.
"Maybe you would have survived this if you haven't gone after a soul mate. The omega true mate is rightfully pissed off." Loarn could feel himself getting slightly colder.
He would just have to accept his son died and move on as best as he could.
Robert felt himself freeze, that was one thing he didn't expect to happen. Who would have gone to him?
Morgana trailed slightly behind Merlin. Her heartfelt like it was going to jump out of her chest. Her eyes trailed to Merlin. When he had come to get her, he had warned her, that she was not going to like the condition Arthur was in.
But that she should try and act normal.
She watched silently as Merlin gave a firm knock on the door. Aceso opened the door almost immediately.
Her eyes widened slightly when she saw them. A quick glance into the room and she slipped out. Closing the door behind her.
"He is still asleep. I am worried about this. He isn't in a good space. Please don't freak him out." She quieted down when Merlin gently shhhed her.
"We both know that we won't do something to harm him. If it looks like he is going to freak out, we will leave immediately. I promise you." Merlin's voice was reassuring
"We just want to see that he is fine." Morgana chimed up.
Aceso gave them both a look before she opened the door again.
With a slight bend in her hand, she indicated that they should come in.
Morgana's hand went to her mouth, she looked in horror at her brother. He was as pale as a ghost. His cheeks were sunk in and he looked hollow.
"When he starts to eat again, he would fill right out again." Aceso voice was soft.
"May I go closer?" Merlin asked Aceso quietly. His magic was bussing through his whole body. He wanted to heal him.
With a slight nod, Merlin walked over to the bed. He quietly gathers his magic, a small blue light formed in his hand.
With his eyes closed, he placed his hand over Arthur's head. Merlin could feel every injury Arthur had sustained, the hollowness in him. Merlin knows that even if he heals the physical wounds, there would still be a long road of recovery.
