Author's Note: I was originally posting these in the order I'd written them in, but I decided that I wanted to post this one and the next one earlier than planned. The one after this is loosely connected to this one, and the topic of them make them something I really want to post now. Thank you to everyone who has been reviewing, alerting, marking this as a favorite, or just plain reading it! Your support keeps me writing! Anyway, please enjoy!

Chapter 30: Blind
There are times when Merlin wonders how it's possible for someone to be so blind.
He's accused of sorcery more times than he's comfortable with and nearly discovered even more times. Even he knows his rescue efforts are not always subtle.
Merlin should be grateful that Arthur doesn't even suspect the truth, and he is. Sometimes though, he wonders if it's because Arthur, destined to be the greatest king ever known, is really a blind fool, or because Arthur thinks that Merlin is too much of an idiot to ever be powerful.
Merlin doesn't know which thought depresses him more.
