Chapter 3: Happy Reunion?
Arthur could not believe that he was meeting the girl who was his first real friend. He was shocked to see how beautiful she grew up into. Arthur quickly put on his cloak and went up to his favourite spot in the castle to meet Merlyn. He looked around noticing she wasn't here and he waited anxiously for her to come.
"Arthur" He heard a girl's voice coming from behind him. He turned around and saw Merlyn looking at him with those beautiful eyes.
"Merlyn" He gasped.
"How could you turn into such a bully?" She asked hurt that her friend was now a bully.
"I.." Arthur started, but was interrupted.
"You were bullying a servant who had not done anything towards you. You were being a prat" Merlyn looked away from him.
"Merlyn, please look at me" Arthur asked and Merlyn looked up nervously.
"What Arthur?" She asked.
"My father has taught me about how to treat servants and how they are not as important as I am." Arthur explained and Merlyn eyes widened in shock.
"SO YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN EVERYONE " She shouted in rage.
"NO OF COURSE NOT." Arthur said shocked she believed this.
"But if I don't act like it. My father will hate me and I can't stand him being disappointed" He said looking at her eyes and taking a step closer.
"Oh" Merlyn said in realisation.
"This spot is beautiful isn't it?" Arthur said changing the subject and Merlyn nodded her head.
"ARTHUR, ARE YOU UP THERE?" Uther's voice boomed from below. Arthur was shocked to see Merlyn looking scared.
"YES FATHER." Arthur shouted back and Merlyn heard footsteps coming up.
"He is coming up" She whispered to Arthur.
"Hide here" Arthur said pointing to the hiding space in the corner.
"What are you doing here?" Uther asked.
"Looking at the view, father" Arthur said not meeting Uther's eyes.
"Well come on Arthur. You need to come to a meeting "Uther dragged him downstairs while Arthur gave Merlyn an apologising look and Merlyn sighed softly
