Author's Note: Another drabble in the series based around Gwen's betrayal. Again not something I want to happen in the show, since I like both Gwen and Lancelot, and really don't want to believe they'd ever do that to Arthur. However, this begged to be written. Enjoy! Thank you to everyone who has been reviewing and keeping up with this! Please read and review!

Disclaimer: I do not own the show Merlin or its characters.

Chapter 12: A Heart Breaking (part 4 of 5)

Arthur stared at his wife, the love of his life, and prayed that he had misheard, had simply misunderstood.

He fervently wanted this to be a dream, a trick. Desperately wanted to believe that she wasn't capable of ripping his heart out, of giving him scars that would never heal.

Arthur stared at his wife, who was looking at him sorrowfully, and knew this was real.

Holding back the tears that he refused to let fall in her presence, he turned his back.

"Take Lancelot and leave by tomorrow. I never want to see either of you in Camelot again."
