Oh this is just wonderful! I love Arthur's series of thoughts touching on each and everyone in the room even those who weren't knighted later on in the scene. This was a well done inner monologue from our fave future king!!!

And the last line:

They were bound to Arthur by honour and duty, but Merlin was bound by destiny.

That was soooooooo lovely.

Well done, you!!!

Aww, thank you! I'm really glad you liked the last line, I couldn't decide whether it was meaningful or cheesy... but I decided to roll with it and now I'm glad I did ^_^

Thank you for commenting!

I loved it. Very nice insight into Arthur's thoughts. I loved the knighting scene SO much. Thanks for sharing!

The knighting scene was one of my favourite scenes the show has ever done, I just HAD to write about it! Glad you enjoyed the fic! =)

Great insight into Arthur's thoughts. I loved how he knew Merlin was bound by destiny. Well done.

I definitely think Arthur knows just how important his friendship with Merlin is, even if he doesn't always show it. Thanks for the feedback! ^^

You're writing gets better and better, honestly. I really enjoyed this, even though I didn't really have any idea what had happened in the show. I am familiar with Arthur and the Holy Grail and Merlin and most of the names in here were familiar so xD <3

ELIZAJANE!!! I miss you so much darling! Awww you're so sweet for reading even though you don't know the show, and THANK YOU!!! Haha the show has completely changed everything though, it's quite hilarious how different it is from the legends - for example, Arthur and Merlin are the same age, and Arthur's not King yet. Oh, and magic is banned in Camelot, Merlin has to keep his powers a secret xD

You should watch it though. For the eye candy if nothing else ;D

THANK YOU SO MUCH ILU <333
