Author's Note: This is more of the current five parter. This is from Merlin's point of view this time rather than Gwen's. It's essentially a very conflicted warlock once again being strong for Arthur's sake. I hope everyone likes it! Thank you to all my reviewers!
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin.
Chapter 11: Resolve (part 3 of 5)
Merlin listened behind the door as Gwen broke down. His heart ached, and for a second, he wanted to enter again and comfort his friend. Then he thought of Arthur, and hardened his heart.
Gwen had made her choice. She was in the wrong, and they both knew it.
He walked away, thinking of what was to come. This betrayal couldn't go on. Arthur didn't deserve it.
The warlock knew his friend would be heartbroken from this, but Merlin would do his best to pick up the pieces, as he always had. He wouldn't let Arthur go through this alone.
