Let's Go On An Adventure
"Food for Prince Ar-the prisoner."
The guard paid Merlin no mind, and he slipped through the door. Arthur was leaned up against the wall with a hand-shaped bruise on his cheek.
Merlin bit his lip. He looks awful.
Arthur muttered, "Come to gloat?"
"Why would I do that?" Merlin replied awkwardly.
Arthur was refusing to look at his manservant. "Why didn't you come?" he asked with a strained whisper.
Merlin set down his food tray. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be." Arthur frowned deeply. "I just thought that I could trust you. I guess I was wrong."
We all remember "I guess I was wrong," right? It was my duty, naturally, to include it in this part. You likey?
