Title: Four Thrones
Characters: Arthur, Gwen, Merlin, Morgana
Paring: Arwen, Mergana
Word Count: 367
Summary: With Ablion reunited, Arthur's workload had doubled. Maybe there was a way that they could get out of it.
Uniting Albion was a big job. There were many wars due to the unrest it cause. The kingdoms all joined together and Arthur had told them that they could still have control over their own kingdoms. In the same meeting, it was agreed that Arthur would become the High King of the land. Any major decisions would have to be considered by him and given approval.
Arthur quickly found it difficult to juggle his new role with running Camelot and free time to have with Gwen. If he wasn't trying to sort out Camelot's problems, he was sorting out some problem from another kingdom. Everything ended up with him. They met again and agreed that Camelot could have four thrones, two going to magic.
Merlin was automatically considered for the role. He was Emrys and had been a big help in uniting the kingdoms and bring magic back to the land. His name was mentioned and everyone said yes straight away. Merlin stood there stunned by it. He continually argued that it was a bad idea. He didn't know the first thing about running a kingdom.
The second throne was more controversial. With the law over magic changed, Morgana was trying to redeem herself. When she turned up in Camelot, she had expected the welcome she got and was marched into the council chamber straight away. She owed Merlin from that day. He had obviously not told them everything that happened but he took his time to explain about how he had helped her find the druids and that it was him that betrayed her first and not the other way round. She was still trying to regain their trust when she was asked. All of the other kingdoms were shocked by Arthur's choice. It was something that she had desired for so long. He knew that she would do a good job in the role. He would still have the last say on everything.
But there had been nothing but peace since. Arthur and Gwen managed as High King and Queen of Albion and Merlin and Morgana managed as King and Queen of Camelot, with a few hidden feeling emerging as well.
