Chapter 21: special rumors
Merlin knocked out the guards very quickly, but he didn't realize how much noise he was making.
To Merlin's horror, Morgana's doors opened to reveal Morgana herself. "Morgana!" He said, shocked and worried.
"Merlin?" She said, also shocked. Merlin backed away from her, and Morgana noticed. "Look, Merlin...I've switched...With Arthur gone I see now, I've been an idiot...And it's all thanks to Gwen that I'm here. Merlin...I hope you can forgive me?" She said staring directly into Merlin's eyes, making sure he knew it was not a lie.
"Morgana-." Merlin was cut of by a loud noise from behind him. Arthur.
Merlin turned to see Arthur raising his sword, "Merlin!"
"Arthur?" Morgana blurted, stunned.
"What are you doing here, Morgana?" Arthur questioned, placing his sword a center-meter from her neck.
"Arthur, she's on our side. She's switched." Merlin said.
"What?" Arthur asked.
"Arthur...I thought you were dead..." Morgana said, still stunned.
Arthur's eyes widened. "I was...But that's not important...Lyra is."
"The Princess?" Morgana asked, He nodded.
"I've heard some rumors that Mordred and her will wed tomorrow at noon."
Lyra had fallen asleep and Mordred had hidden the ruby somewhere only he would find it. He thought it was still cursed. But what he didn't know was that Guinevere had held it long enough to remove the curse from the jewel.
He was waiting for Lyra to wake. He had been waiting almost an hour and was becoming impatient.
He nudged her awake. "I have something to tell you." He said.
"W-what?" She asked, tiredly.
"We wed tomorrow." He got up to leave.
"No!" She screamed, to his surprise.
"Yes. I'll have a servant bring you your gown. But now, my love, I have some wedding arrangements to attend to. You should get some rest." And just like that, Mordred left, locking the door behind him.
"No..." Lyra tried to sleep, but no matter how tired she was, she could not.
Once a marriage was over...There was no going back... and Lyra knew that.
Merlin... Where are you? She thought miserably.
