Welcome to chapter 6! Hope you have liked these chapters so far!
Start of recap...
I then walk over to the privacy dii rans take of my bloody and dirty clothes being extra careful of my still injured arm I do need to bandage it properly soon. When I step out Dad unsuccessfully hides his smile at how large his clothes are on me.
"What I'm not as big as you!" I try to defend myself, but he laughs harder, while he laughs, I pout and cross my arms. "don't laugh at me!" I exclaim, finally Dad composes himself and stops laughing like a lunatic.
End of recap...
Y/N pov...
Once Dad stops laughing we walk out of his room and run into Aunt Gwen, she was holding a basket of laundry. "Gwen" he says shocked to see her as we walked into her.
"Arthur! I mean Prince Arthur!" She said blushing, I look at Dad and see that he is blushing as well. 'Oh no this before they realised that they had feelings for each other' I groan in my head.
After they stop blushing Gwen notices me I wave at her. "Arthur who's he?" She asks looking at me making Dad ruffle my hair like a big brother would.
"Oi!" I complain slapping his hand away from my head. Dad just smirks at me. "This little guy is Lance some kid me and Merlin bought with us to Camelot" he said before explaining how he found me.
"Oh no that's terrible" said Aunt Gwen kind as ever. "But I'm okay I'm a man you know" I say proudly making Dad snort. "A couple more years your mean squirt" he said as I glare at him.
"I'm going back to Merlin" I yell before turning and stomping back to Gaius' Chambers.
Next morning...
Third person pov...
Gwaine wakes and Merlin enters with a breakfast tray and Lance following behind him. The boy smiled at Gwaine.
"What am I doing in this bed?" Asked the man very confused as he sat up in Merlins bed and Lance sat next to him on the hard bed.
"You were wounded. Arthur wanted to make sure you were treated by his physician." Answered Merlin putting the tray on the covers over Gwaines legs.
"Arthur?" He asks
"He means Prince Arthur. You saved his life" said Lance speaking up next time him. "If I'd known who he was, I probably wouldn't have. He's a noble." Commented the man.
'Why does he hate nobles?' Thought Lance.
"Yeah, but he's a good man." Gwiane snorts at Merlins words "If you say so."
"You're a hero. The King wants to thank you in person and he wants to meet you Lance"said Merlin remembering what Arthur told him.
"What!" Exclaimed Lance eyes wide.
"Please, no. I've met a few kings. Once you've met one, you've...you've met them all." Said Gwaine, he gave Lance a comforting pat on the shoulder he understands the boys shock.
"He'll probably give you a reward." Pushes Merlin.
"I'm not interested. Besides, I've got everything I need right here." Said the Man patting his sachle of things.
"Why did you help us?"
"Your chances looked between slim and none. I, er...I guess I just kind of like the look of those odds." Said Gwaine getting a poke in the side from Lance while Merlin rolled his eyes.
Later that day...
Arthur, Merlin and Lance (he tagged along) where in Arthur bed Chambers talking. With Lance casually sitting on the Princes bed but Arthur just rolled his eyes.
Lance acted alot like Merlin sometimes it was uncanny. "How's Gwaine?" Asks the Prince. "Recovering." Merlin looks out the window.
"Who's that?"he asks as Lance squeezes pass Arthur to look out thr window as well. Arthur goes to the window to see a knight riding into the Square.
Arthur smiles as he sees someone "Ahh, Sir Darien. He's here for the mêlée." He said sounding happy. While Lance looks excited he always loves competing in the Mêlée he always goes against his Dad but never wins them.
"Oh, yeah. The tournament where the knights ride around hitting each other with blunt weapons for no good reason." Said Merlin sarcastically.
"A little more to it than that." Argued both Lance and Arthur. Merlin and Arthur looked down at the boy he was still very misterious to them.
"Really? All I've ever seen is people getting the seven bells knocked out of them so that the last man standing can be called the winner." Argues Merlin forgetting momentarly about Lance.
"The mêlée is the ultimate test of strength and courage." Argued Arthur. Lance sighed 'at it again as always' he thought.
"Are you sure we're talking about the same thing?" Sassed Merlin
"Well, I wouldn't expect you to understand. You're not a knight." Statrd Arthur smuggly.
"Oh, well if it means I don't get clobbered 'round the head, I'm glad of it." As they continued arguing Lance stepped back a cpuple steps and watched it from afar.
"I'm afraid it doesn't." Said Arthur.
'Someone is going to get hurt, i hope it isnt me' thought Lance as he moved to the door.
Arthur throws a cup at the back of Merlin's head. Which bounced off and hit Lance as well. "Ow!" He exclaimed at the same time as Merlin.
Arthur nods his head towards the armour sitting on the table. "I need that lot cleaned by noon." He said Merlin rubs his neck while glaring at Lance as the boy laughed.
"Maybe you should help him Lance" called Arthur making Lance freeze "Huh!!" He yelled which made Merlin laugh at him.
The end!
