Merlin Is... A Badass??

Merlin is... a badass??

The King’s poor manservant is sent on some wild goose chase, and it makes his bad mood and pounding headache even worse. Little does he know, it’s about to get a hell of a lot more complicated…

TW: I mean… blood, almost-basically-torture? (But not on any of the good guys)

Part 2   Part 3(final part)

Merlin was marginally annoyed.

But that’s nothing new. So he just keeps going, urging his steed—a war horse that had taken a shine to him—to go faster, her hooves thundering along the dirt pathway that weaves between the trees. He knows where he’s going, it’s an unfortunately regularly visited place for him; a small abandoned fort that sits on a section of high ground, a few miles off from the Valley of Fallen Kings. Every criminal imaginable has inhabited it at some point, but Uther had always refused to do anything about it, and it had been pushed to the way side after Arthur had been crowned. 

As of right now, it had been taken over by some sort of bandit group who had somehow managed to snatch Arthur from his bed in the night. Merlin had no proof of his claims other than The King’s chambers hanging empty all morning (Merlin had originally thought that Arthur had snuck off early to train or something. He began to worry when he never reappeared for lunch), and his golden magic pulling him in the right direction. Hence him being alone. And grumpy.

The audacity of a show.

WORD FOR WORD.

They even gave her a trenchcoat

Merlin often has to order stuff for Arthur at the market or open and pay the tab at the tavern...

Of course, that's his job. As it used to be the Job of the manservants before him. But of course, with all the manservants shifting so much, the sellers wrote down their names and who they were coming for, so they'd know which manservant had to pick up what item.

It was usually marked down as Pendragon - Morris, Pendragon - George, Pendragon- Colin etc . Naturally, with Merlin, it became Pendragon - Merlin.

Once it became clear that Merlin was going to stay, people got more slack with the names. It turned to: Pendragon Merlin, Prince Merlin (as Merlin usually bought for Arthur and not the King), later it turned to King Merlin. Some only wrote him down as Merlin, but most thought it was quite funny.

After a while, Merlin found out and joined the fun. He starts signing stuff as King Merlin, or Merlin Pendragon.

It takes a while, but one day, royal guests hear about it and are shocked that Arthur was married to his manservant.

Then, finally, Arthur hears about it. As allegations that he's secretely married to Merlin...

And the worst part is, everything Merlin signed with King Merlin or Merlin Pendragon has been taken seriously so far. Those were legitimate signatures! And they count nearly everyhwhere! At the market, at the tavern, even during mail exchange and when people hand Merlin the laws that Arthur is meant to sign.

The entire Kingdom knows Merlin under those names. So much, that most of them started believing it true.

So, when Arthur tries to clear things up, his people think he's going through a divorce. Secretly, Arthur is pining through it all while Merlin can't contain his laughter.

Arthur: This may come as a shock, but I'm actually not very good at talking to girls.

Merlin: Why? Is there someone you are good at talking to?
