"Thank You, Merlin"
’Dear Merlin,’
Mithian wrote out carefully on the parchment laid out on the desk in front of her. She chewed on her bottom lip, her quill hovering hesitantly over it as she thought of her next words, and what she wanted to truly say.
’I know that this is far from proper, me writing this letter to you…but I knew I just had to write you, nevertheless. I wanted to again thank you, and to apologize. You would not have been hurt by Morgana if it were not for me, and my going to you for help. It was thoughtless and careless of me. I knew how dangerous Morgana was, and yet I got you involved - she could have killed you! Had she, I never would have forgiven myself.
You got hurt because of me, and for that I am deeply sorry. I hope you are alright. You took quite a hit to the head, and though you were fighting and looking well the last I saw you, I still pray that you are in good health.
Thank you for everything that you did, and tried to do, for me and for my father. You’re very loyal and brave and a true friend, Merlin. Arthur is lucky to have you at his side, as are Guinevere and the knights, and Camelot herself. The way I see it, if Arthur, King of Camelot, can see you as a friend, then I, Princess of Nemeth, can as well. Propriety and station be damned. I hope that you have come to see me as a friend as well, even if we have only met a few times now.
The next we meet, I would quite like to spend some time with you. Not as just Arthur’s servant, but as simply Merlin. I want to get to know you, if you will allow it. I would love that very much and am looking forward to it.
Sincerely yours,
Mithian’
Happy with the letter, Mithian folded the parchment and sealed it with her wax stamp, feeling giddy but nervous. She wondered silently to her herself if he would answer her letter with one of his own. Mithian hoped that he would.
