Why was everyone acting so odd today?
First Gaius at breakfast, with his strange smirk and raised brows. Then Gwen, who, for the full hour he spent with her, had giggled over nothing in particular. At least, that’s what she had told him. There was also the sort of fearful looks people gave him has he wondered through the market to pick up a loaf of bread.
Yes, everyone seemed to be going totally barmy! And Merlin had no explanation whatsoever.
“Merlin, are you ok? You look a little distant.” Asked Morgana as she walked in front of him. “Oh... Erm... yes thank you My Lady. I was just... thinking” Merlin replied with a dopey smile, resuming the task of mucking out the stables as Arthur had set.
Morgana went about tending to her favourite horse while blissfully humming. Merlin thought to take advantage of her evident good mood. “Lady Morgana?” “yes?” she replied “Have you noticed how completely bizarre everyone seems today? I mean... not you of course! But, everyone seems to be staring at me or acting strangely.”
Lady Morgana let out a little laugh, although Merlin had no clue as to why. “you see Merlin, I think Arthurs unexpected angry outburst in the square yesterday, is starting to make a little more sense to people today.” “Oh” replied Merlin, still none the wiser. “yes” he chuckled slightly “It was rather unexpected. Thank you my lady” “Not at all Merlin” Morgana assured as she went back to humming and brushing.
Arthurs little rant was indeed completely and shockingly unexpected. He called a town meeting in the square, to announce a few small rules due to a recent loss of crops, nothing too heavy. As Arthur left the final rule, his face changed to one of anger as he gritted his teeth. “Also, let this be known, to all in Camelot. And to any who wish to enter the Kingdom. Some things are mine and I expect NO ONE PERSON to even consider touching my things. To this point there is no discussion!”
And with that Arthur stomped of, all but flooring anyone who even got close to him.
What on earth did Morgana mean? Merlin thought as he cleaned the window outside Arthur’s chamber. Then he saw it. “That royal Pratt” Merlin slowly said in disbelief touching one of the three deep red bruises on his neck.
Arthur smirked watching Merlin from his doorway, the boy's eyes and mouth widening with horror at the massive marks. “No one touches MY Merlin” The Prince growled into his ear.
