A / N: Hey guys and girls, sorry about such an extremely long wait for this chapter/update.

I hope you guys like this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. :D

Chapter 5: Let's Have a Talk

Arthur stood frozen on the spot not knowing how to reply to Morgana's comment. He didn't want to give away the fact that what Morgana had just said was true. After about two minutes; which to Arthur; seemed like an eternity, he slowly turned and faced the young ward with suspicious eyes.

"What are you talking about Morgana?" Arthur asked her with a raised eyebrow.

Morgana merely gave the young prince an innocent smile.

"Come now Arthur, there's no need to be ashamed of it." She answered with a mischievous glint appearing in her eyes.

Arthur knew the woman in front of him was scheming of something which was bound to humiliate him, and he was going to have no part in it.

"Morgana… I honestly have no idea what you are talking about." He told her.

"Arthur… why don't you and I have a little walk around the lower town and have a little chat?" She suggested to him.

Arthur opened his mouth to protest against Morgana's suggestion, but before he could get a single sound out of his mouth; the young woman had already grabbed ahold of his wrist and was dragging him along the hallway towards the entrance of the lower part of Camelot. Arthur merely rolled his eyes and gave up on any attempt of trying to get away from the woman who was currently pulling him out of the castle. When both Arthur and Morgana had finally reached the lower part of the city; Morgana turned and faced Arthur with a sweet, innocent smile that Arthur knew held mischief.

"Arthur… sweet, sweet Arthur… you know that you can never hide anything from me don't you? So let's stop trying to lie about something that we both know you can't hide from." Morgana said to the blond prince.

"Morgana, just stop." Arthur said in firm voice.

All of a sudden; Morgana seemed to snap at Arthur's words.

"Arthur Pendragon, will you stop being such a coward!" Morgana shouted at the top of her lungs at the young man.

Arthur knew that Morgana would eventually get irritated about how he wasn't going to talk to her about his feelings for Merlin, but he never expected that she would react the way she did.

"W – what did you just call me?" Arthur asked her with a challenging tone in his voice.

"You heard me Arthur, you are a coward who is afraid of something that would make you happy." Morgana answered him with a glare that could match Uther.

Arthur felt as though an arrow had hit him in his heart at Morgana's words.

"Morgana, you have no idea what you are talking about. You have no idea what would make me happy." Arthur said with his voice rising just a little bit.

"Oh don't I?" Morgana questioned with a challenging tone in her voice.

"Because I am pretty sure I know what would make you happy, happier than pleasing father, happier than even getting a chance to see your mother. I know what or rather who makes you happy." Morgana answered back with a tone that held absolute confidence.

Arthur at this point; was trembling with anger at how Morgana thought she knew what would make him happy.

"Arthur stop running from the fact that you love Merlin. I have seen how you are unhappy when he isn't with you. I have seen how your attitude changes into one of absolute happiness and even playfulness when he is around you. You love Merlin, and guess what Arthur… Merlin loves you back."

As Morgana finished speaking to Arthur, she stepped aside and there in front of Arthur was the one boy who had captured the prince's heart, Merlin.
