I got some oil paints today. Hopefully I can do some cool artsy stuff with them.
Disclaimer: How DARE you suggest that I don't own Merlin?
Prompt: From morningstar115: I hope you write more of this drabble series. ("Glass" series)
Rating: T
Genre: Angst
Characters: Arthur, Aredian, Uther
Time Frame: "Glass" series; Season 2
Summary: Aredian reveals the identity of the "Glass" sorcerer to Uther.
Let's Go On An Adventure
Trust is like glass; easily broken.
Aredian pointed dramatically. "The Crown Prince, Arthur."
There were excited murmurs in the hall. Arthur inhaled, paling instantaneously.
Then Uther laughed. "That was a good joke, Aredian. For a moment, I thought that you were being serious."
"I am being serious, Sire." Aredian's finger shook. "Your son has magic!"
Uther's smile faded. "How dare you suggest that my son is a traitor?!"
Arthur turned his head towards his father, hopeful.
"Guards!" Uther bellowed. "Escort Aredian from the palace immediately."
Arthur's eyes locked with Aredian's briefly before he hastily looked away.
The "trust" can work in several ways.
-One way is with Aredian. Uther trusted him to find the sorcerer, and instead, Aredian tried to implicate his son. Even though Aredian was speaking the truth, Uther could no longer trust him.
-Another one is the trust Arthur has in his people. This one is hard to see, but he is worried that the people would demand to see him killed, and then there were the excited murmurs.
-Finally, there is Arthur's trust in his father. He never gave Uther a chance; he just trusted in Uther's hatred for magic. However, this trust was somewhat restrengthened, but Arthur still won't completely trust his father with the secret.
