Chapter 8- Disobedience

As soon as Arthur heard the news of his father pulling the plug on Merlin, he rushed to the throne room. The guards let him in and Arthur went storming into the room. His father looked up from his throne- amused! Arthur couldn't believe that his father thought all of this was funny!

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?" Arthur shouted, unable to hold in the fury any longer.

"Arthur- get over it. He is a servant and you are a king! Why do you care so much about him? All he does is serve you- that's it! Seriously, Arthur, it is just the order of the kingdom. And if you start thinking servants are as important as princes, you will not be able to rule the kingdom properly! The matter is settled. You cannot do anything about it." Uther said, waving the prince away so he could get back to his work. But Arthur did not move. Normally, Arthur would be the ever so obedient prince and do whatever the all-mighty king says. Not today. A person's life was at stake. Not just any person- Merlin's life!

"No."

"What did you say!" Uther knitted his eyebrows angrily.

"NO! He is not just a servant. He is my friend." Arthur stated, admitting it proudly for the first time, "Let's see- the countless times he's saved my life, the time-consuming work day after day after day, coming on life-threatning trips basically every week, standing up for me- what more of a friend could I have asked for?"

"Arthur! STOP! You must be enchanted or something- never in history have princes ever befriended servants- it's against the laws of the society and kingdom! Arthur- I'm pulling the plug. For your safety."
"I've never been enchanted or been the victim of a magic spell. Merlin is my best friend. Nothing will ever change that. And if you won't help me or understand me, I'll just have to save him myself. No matter what it takes." Then, Arthur marched out of the room and didn't look back. He couldn't look back- not without his face taking on a look of disgust by watching the man who said Merlin is worth nothing.
