I'm so sorry, I know I'm very late but days have been terribly busy here! Working as much as Merlin used to when he was Arthur's servant! But anyway, here we are!
Thank you so much for your kind reviews. Special thanks to Maya (soon you'll know), Chris (haha that's because I love happy endings!), Someone from Ireland (uh... probably. *tries not to smirk*) and Sheylah (thank you so much! It's very kind of you). Thank you too for the messages, you always make me smile! =D
Oh, fine, you've been waiting for so long...
Previously...
"A new age is coming." Merlin said in his most Emrys way. "An age of great light."
"It sounds nice." Morgause said.
"Maybe... The more light, the more shadows." The warlock said.
Everyone looked at the others a bit uncertain. Sometimes Merlin was so difficult to understand, Arthur thought. Maybe that was the reason why the lad gets along so nicely with the dragon. The prince smiled.
"Well." Morgana broke the silence. "We should go back to Camelot now... Vivienne is so tired, and I bet she isn't the only one."
"Yes, my dear... I missed my family so much... and I missed our bed a lot!" The king said.
"Uther!" Morgana noticed smirks around them.
"You're welcome to join us in Camelot." Uther said to Agravaine and Morgause after some moments.
"Yes..." Arthur added. We have some more topics to discuss tomorrow and I'd like you to help me, uncle."
Agravaine nodded at his nephew, happy for the fact Arthur trusts and cares for him after everything.
"Of course." He said gently. "It'll be an honour, Arthur." He offered his arm to Morgause and the lady took it with a beautiful smile.
"Then let's go." The king embraced Morgana and the finally were in their way back to Camelot.
Chapter 44
The travel back to Camelot was calm and silent. People were tired after spending so long in the harsh wind of Avalon waiting for Morgause and Agravaine. Now, things seemed to be fine. Morgana and Uther were in the same horse, the lady sat in front of the king with both her legs to the same side of the horse, so sometimes she could kiss Uther's lips softly. Vivienne was still sleeping peacefully into her mother's arms, moaning softly sometimes, wrapped into her little blanket. Morgause and Agravaine were riding side by side, exchanging glances full of promises. Arthur and Merlin observed both the couples carefully, the prince with a bored face and Merlin with a smirk.
"Seriously, couldn't you all wait at least until we arrive in Camelot?" Arthur asked all annoyed when his uncle leaned in and stole a quick kiss from Morgause.
"Oh?" Morgause smiled at Arthur. "It seems someone is jealous here..." It made Merlin laugh.
"Humf! Jealous!" Arthur repeated angry.
"Yes, you see, your uncle still loves you, even if he's with me." Morgause teased, talking to him just like Arthur was a child. "And so does your father, even if he can't keep his hands away from my sister." Morgana blushed at her comment.
"At least you have Gwen waiting for you anxiously in Camelot."
"Shut up, Merlin!"
They rode quietly for some more time. Unless for the conversation among the knights and people with magic, who were riding just behind them.
"I'll miss Avalon." Arthur broke the silence. "Such a nice view up there!"
"Oh, Arthur, you will spend a lot of time there..." Merlin had a knowing smile.
"What do you mean?" The prince didn't get it.
"I'll tell you in the proper time." Merlin said mysteriously, never looking at the prince.
"What?" Arthur smirked. "Are you having visions of the future just like Morgana?" He teased his friend. "Because, I must tell you, Merlin, it sounds completely girlish, even for you."
"Oh, don't make a fool of yourself!" Morgause teased Arthur, receiving an amused gaze from both Morgana and Merlin.
"He's great at doing that, sister." Morgana smirked at the prince.
"Well, it wasn't a sight, if you still care to know." Merlin said unusually serious. "It's more like a suggestion."
"You're making us all curious, Merlin." Uther said softly wrapping his arms more tightly around Morgana when he noticed a chill.
"Well, sir, in the proper time you'll understand what I mean. And it will be very soon. But now let's enjoy this peaceful and happy moment." Merlin pointed to the courtyard, full of people celebrating in joy and waiting for them.
When they were about to leave Avalon, Uther had asked one of the knights to leave to Camelot before they did, so as they arrived in the courtyard, people were already there celebrating and knowing Uther and the others were fine.
"Long live the king!" Someone screamed as they entered the courtyard and instantly the crowd repeated it many times.
Hunith walked to them and took Vivienne carefully, so they could dismount the horse. Uther dismounted and helped Morgana. The queen shivered at his warm hands on her waist. Her body so near of his... She parted her lips, her eyelashes so heavy... Oh, so sweet, she was begging for a hot kiss! The king smirked and kissed her very quickly, causing the lady to moan. Oh... she needed it to be longer! And deeper!
"Soon, my sweet Morgana." Uther smiled.
"Father, people would like to hear some words from you, instead of watching you making out with Morgana." Arthur teased and smirked as Morgana blushed. Annoying boy! Why doesn't he go and do to Gwen the same Uther was doing to her?
"Arthur!" Uther reprehended him, but smirked even so.
"Sir." Gaius called him.
"Gaius, my friend!" Uther smiled at the elder man.
"I'm glad you're back."
"Thank you Gaius!" The king answered tapping his friend's back.
"And Morgana..." Gaius looked at the queen. "I'd like to see if little Vivienne is fine. You know, it's unusual developing magic in such young age..."
"Of course, Gaius, but I think she's ok, I didn't notice anything different... And she likes her magic so much!" Morgana smiled looking at the sleepy baby into Hunith's arms.
"Don't worry, my lady, we'll take good care of your baby tonight." Hunith had a kind smile.
"Thank you, Hunith." Morgana smiled back and looked at the king with bright eyes.
Uther offered his arm to Morgana and climbed a few stairs. "Arthur." Uther interrupted his son and Gwen's embrace. "Come here, I want you both here with me while we talk to them." He looked at Agravaine and Morgause, who were watching them with their fingers intertwined, Morgana noticed. "Morgause, Agravaine, come here you too. We're a family."
Morgause smiled and practically dragged Agravaine to the stairs, amusing her sister.
"People of Camelot!" Uther started his speech. "I'd like to start my speech saying a big thank you for the support and the loyalty you always have gifted Camelot and our family. As your king, I feel honoured." He made a pause and looked at Morgana's bright eyes.
"What exactly happened, sir?" A man asked him sounding really worried.
"Sometimes magic and other kind of powers cause people to delude themselves." Uther said patiently. "People commit mistakes. I'm a proof of it." Uther remembered his dark past killing people with magic even if they were innocent. "But people change!" The crowd gasped at that. Had the king really forgiven Morgause and Agravaine after all? "I'm the living proof people may change if they have the right encouragement." The king said very firmly.
"And what would it be?" An aged woman asked, still suspicious.
"Love." Uther said calmly. "Morgana's love made me think about my mistakes and correct them. In a similar way, when Lady Morgause had fallen in love with Lord Agravaine she just didn't knew how to act."
"Because I used to be a person who doesn't believe love." Morgause explained. She looked at Uther, who nodded at her, so the lady continued. "As I noticed I was in love with Agravaine in a way I couldn't keep him out of my mind anymore, I felt very shocked, because I used to think such a thing would never happen to me." She took a breath and noticed the people was looking at her and listening with interest. "But like my sister had said the day I've arrived in Camelot, love eventually finds us." Agravaine sighed at that.
"I'm so sorry, milady, but I can't understand how it explains everything." A young man pointed.
"Well..." Morgause sighed. "I made a love spell and I've learned in the worse way possible magic may help us, but it's never the answer. Magic will never act by itself and fix our lives." People clapped it and Morgause smiled all proud of herself.
"In the same way, I was a very bitter man." Agravaine continued as the people slowly calmed themselves. "I was blind by my hate and never stopped to see how nicely Uther and Morgana ruled Camelot together."
"People commit mistakes, but people also may change and fix their mistakes when someone has the patience to point them kindly." Arthur said. "And, once it happens, I believe to be fair giving people a second chance."
People clapped the prince and he smiled. Well... yes, maybe that dragon was right and he really has the skills to unite the kingdoms. He was good dealing with people...
"What I can say for now," Agravaine continued "is a great thank you to Uther and Morgana, and also assuring him how much I regret my actions." Uther and Morgana nodded at him. "In my kingdom, I hope to be a merciful and fair king just like Uther is in the present and I'm sure my nephew Arthur will be in the future."
"A king? Lord Agravaine?" People talked among themselves.
"It's because Lord Agravaine had killed King Cenred..." Uther started explaining.
"And that's it for now!" Merlin said climbing some stairs and interrupting the king.
"Merlin!" Arthur whispered behind peoples' amused laughs at the unusual fact. "You can't interrupt a royal speech like that! I mean, you practically made my father shut up!"
"Merlin is right." Uther said amused. "It's very late and we're all tired. Soon we'll talk once again. For now, I assure you everything is fine." Morgana squeezed his hand. "Have a good night!"
People clapped and slowly started going home. At the same time, Merlin and the others went to the castle.
"Frankly, Merlin, sometimes I can't believe you!" Arthur said to him, Gwen smiling at his side.
"Oh, it was funny." Morgause smiled.
"We should thank Merlin, because I'd have used other methods to make Uther quiet..." Morgana smirked, causing her sister to do the same and Gwen to blush.
"Oh, I had enough of watching you all for a while!" Arthur said all annoyed. "Come Guinevere, people here just can't keep things decent!" Gwen smiled at that.
"Well, good night." Gwen wished the others and they left to their chambers.
"Poor little prince, so innocent!" They could hear Morgause teasing.
The prince opened the door to his chambers and let Gwen enter before he did. The lady had a beautiful smile on her face.
"I was so worried!" She whispered, embracing Arthur, who wrapped his arms around her protectively. "I don't know how Gaius managed to endure me!"
"You didn't have to worry..." Arthur calmed her, caressing her soft curls. "I'll always come back to you." He kissed her gently.
"How was it?" She asked more confidently as they pulled away.
"Sincerely, Guinevere, for a while I almost thought Agravaine would kill them all."
"Oh?" The lady gasped.
"And he nearly killed Morgause!" Arthur was still shocked. "She went to kiss my uncle and when he pulled her away, the poor lady almost fell over the cliff!" Gwen was shocked! "Thanks god Merlin helped her with his magic." Arthur told her. "That was when the man realised what he's been doing and we finally removed darkness from his soul."
For some moments they just looked at each other.
"We're lucky." Gwen concluded moments after listening to Arthur. "We have each other and we'll always be in love." She said sweetly and the prince couldn't help another kind kiss.
"Oh, but you had to see, Guinevere! Avalon is an amazing place!" He told her in a calmer and happier way, causing a smile to return to her lips. "One summer day I'll take you there... and we'll make a picnic. And see a beautiful view of those lands."
"Sounds perfect..."
"Guinevere!" Arthur suddenly remembered something he hadn't told her as he was so worried about his father. "Before we left to Avalon, the dragon told me something quite nice."
"Really? What is it?" She asked caressing his chest.
"I'm going to unite the kingdoms and be a high king!" Arthur sounded so proud.
"Oh!" Gwen smiled.
"I still have no idea how it would happen, but I trust that dragon..." Arthur took his shirt off. "And you'll be my high queen!"
Arthur wrapped his arms around Gwen, unlacing her dress.
"Oh!" She gasped as he started kissing her neck. "I thought you'd like to keep things decent..." Gwen teased.
"Decent? Never in my bed!" He gave her a cheek smile.
"Here we are!" Morgana opened the door to a guest chamber, which was ready to receive her sister and Agravaine.
"Oh, it's perfect! Thank you, sister." Morgause smiled, the chambers that used to be hers when she had been in Camelot looked perfect! She had a big smile while walking in the chambers, very satisfied for being in a palace again.
"You're welcome, sister." Morgana said while Uther passed an arm around her shoulders. "Well, have a good night." Morgause would swear she had seen Morgana smirking.
"Never doubt it!" Morgause grinned. Soon Morgana and Uther left, closing the door behind them.
"Oh, a nice bed once again!" Agravaine said practically jumping on the soft bed. "We'll have one just like this one in our palace, Morgause."
"And soft pillows!" Morgause hugged one of the pillows.
"Sure, sure, a lot of them... Come here, Morgause... you look like you need to lie a bit on this bed." Agravaine had a grin, but Morgause let him come with that and just obeyed.
"Oh!" She sighed as her tired body found some rest on the comfortable bed.
As they were silent, the couple could hear a moan coming from the corridor.
"Oh, it seems my little sister couldn't wait until she and the king would arrive in their chambers!" Morgause smirked. Then she sighed and closed her eyes. Everything was so perfect!
"Morgause..." He looked at her amazed. "I'd like to tell you once again. I'm so sorry."
"Agravaine..." She looked at him. "Enough of saying that, don't you think?"
"I feel guilty." He looked down. Oh no! Morgause had hotter plans for that night instead of listening to Agravaine blaming himself...
"Well, Agravaine... then stop saying that and start showing me how different things may be." She teased, turning around, so she lay face down, in order to hide her grin.
"Milady?" Agravaine sounded genuinely shocked.
"You may start by making me comfortable, Agravaine." She said in a royal voice.
"Comfortable, uh?" He felt his erection growing.
Agravaine's hands quickly unlaced her dress and removed it. Then he went to her feet and took out her shoes.
"Now do the same to yourself." Morgause ordered. She smiled as Agravaine quickly got rid of his clothes. "Good." She approved.
"What now, Morgause?" He teased her thigh with his erection.
"Oh!" She gasped. They had barely started and the man was already so hard! "Not yet, Agravaine!" She smirked at his obvious frustration. Teasing Agravaine was so fun!
"So?" What did Morgause have in mind?
"I want you to massage me." She sounded so confident! Agravaine felt his erection pulsing, he wanted just entering, ravishing her warm body in a way the lady would groan so loud that the king himself would come to see what happened!
Instead, Agravaine sighed and Morgause felt his big hands massaging her shoulders, her back... Going down and down... The lady moaned satisfied and gasped when he slapped playfully her bottom.
"Agravaine! Be a good boy!" She reprehended him.
"Oh, I know you don't quite like good boys, do you, milady?" Agravaine practically breathed on her ear while pressing his groin to her bottom and squeezing her breasts.
"Oh!" She gasped. "Agravaine..." Goddess, he started sucking the delicate skin of her neck. "Ah!" And rolling her nipples between his thumb and his index, pulling them sometimes. "Oh, please!" Agravaine smirked at that. Her voice was so rough! "Please, Agravaine!"
"No, Morgause... I'm going to tease you a bit more, you like it or not." She groaned when he bit her shoulder. "Oh, I bet you like it!" The man grinned. One of his hands went down and down and teased her intimacy.
"Oh!" She moaned. "Yes! Come on, Agravaine..."
"Always wet and ready, aren't you?" He said in a rough voice while inserting a thick finger. Morgause just breathed. "Answer me!" He pinched her nipple harder than usual, the pain twisting with pleasure in a delicious way.
"Goddess!" She panted. "Y-yes, Agravaine, I'm always ready." She managed to say between her teeth, panting in expectation while Agravaine never stopped his ministrations.
"Good." He smirked at that.
"Oh, please, please, please..." Morgause marked each word with a movement of her hips, forcing Agravaine's finger to go deeper.
"Morgause!" He was always a bit surprised at how much she enjoys that kind of thing. "You asked for this!" His hands went to her thighs and he forced them opened very roughly.
"Agravaine!" He smirked at her shock.
And he just entered, both groaning and closing their eyes, as if to feel the pleasure intensely. Soon Morgause started moving her hips, forcing the man out and in many times.
"Oh, you naughty girl, I knew you wanted that so much that I almost..."
"Shut up and fuck!" She interrupted him.
Agravaine needed no more encouragement. He just started moving, entering deeper and deeper, feeling her body hugging him. Their juices making some wet noises at their hard movements. Agravaine's hands went to squeeze her breasts while they both moved. When he felt she was tighter and groaning in a senseless way, Agravaine just pinched her nipples in a hard way, increasing his rhythm and making her come in the same moment.
He continued pumping during her orgasm, increasing her pleasure and his own while his big hands held her hips in place. Agravaine was in the edge and Morgause was once again groaning and squirming under him. Then he just came when Morgause's hands went to his and dragged them to her breasts, encouraging him to knead them a bit more. The lady moaned, her body reacting to him once again...
"Agravaine!" She had one more wave of pleasure after a specially hard push, feeling all her body shaking in such a wild way.
"Oh... Morgause!" He exploded and just collapsed over the lady. They were both breathless and sweaty.
As his breathe was controlled, Agravaine rolled to Morgause's side. For his amazement, the lady went to him and laid her head on his chest. "God!" He sounded a bit shocked.
"I know, it felt so good!" She smiled.
"I've realised something..." Agravaine sounded shocked once again.
"What?" She looked at him scared. What if he had decided he doesn't want her anymore? Oh, she didn't want to feel that bad never again!
"I've realised just now..." He said seriously. "I've just fucked the future queen of Essetir!"
"Oh?" She smiled, surprised and much calmer. "Y-you want me to be... the queen?"
He nodded with a smile.
"Yes. My queen."
"Oh, Agravaine!" She had the biggest smile ever and kissed Agravaine deeply.
As soon as Morgana closed Morgause's door, Uther brought her to an embrace.
"Oh?" She was taken by surprise.
"Sshh..." Uther caressed her soft dark hair.
"Uther... we're in the middle of the corridor!"
"Thanks god we are." Uther whispered. "I missed you so much, Morgana, I was so afraid I would never see you again."
"Oh..." She looked at his eyes, wondering if hers were as bright as his. "I love you." She whispered. "I was afraid of losing you too. And Vivienne! The poor child was so sad! I'm so relieved that..." He interrupted her with a kiss. A full of promises one, by the way... And it made the queen moan a bit loud, amusing him. "Uther..." She whispered.
"I know, I know... let's go to our chambers. We don't want to give your sister and Agravaine a private show..."
Oh, I know, terrible time to interrupt Morgana and Uther... But I've promised them that next chapter I'm going to allow them to finish what they had started. *smirk*
Have a great weekend!
