"Merlin… why do people act funny around Daddy" Edward asked curiously his little fingers clasping around Merlin's shirt. Merlin smiled chuckling slightly under his breath. Arthur's children asked such cute questions he thought as he kneeled down to the small boy's level.

"People act funny around him because your daddy is a very important man who is a very good King. And people like him very much "Merlin explained carefully. A look of confusment wavered across Edwards face. s

"So why don't you act funny then" he questioned suspiciously. Merlin Laughed.

"Because I have known your Daddy for a very long time. Since before you were born and when he was still a young prince. And I know that secretly your dad wouldn't want me to call his Sire or Your Highness." He tried to explain. Edward still looked confused.

"But why. All of Daddy's other friends call him that…" Edward said thinking of uncle Gwain and Auntie Helena. To this merlin had no reply he could hardly explain to a 6 year old how they had become very close friends and how he had known his mother before she had become royal.

"Come on little man I think mummy want to see you before dinner." Merlin said smiling picking him up unto his back and carrying him to Gwen's chambers.
