Prologue
Merlin was many things: a servant, a warlock, the guardian of Arthur Pendragon, but he was neither a liar nor a backstabber. He worked hard and lived each moment as if it was his last, making great friends along the way. He thought highly of them all. From the drunkenness of Gwaine to the former dollophead named Arthur. That's why he never thought that Arthur, of all people, would slander him in any way. But there was one time when he doubted everything…. the day that Uther Pendragon wanted to revoke Arthur's crown because of Merlin's friendship.
