Short: It's Merlin
Random Knight: *Witnessed Merlin calling Arthur a prat* Sire, are you just going to just let him talk to you that way? 😤
Arthur: It's Merlin, what can you do. 🤷🏼
Noble: *Upset with Merlin's presence during court and used his now absences to complain* As King you should have more sense then to let some farm boy advise you in such delicate matters of court! 😤
Arthur: It's Merlin. He who takes care of the castle servants, who is the apprentice physician that sees to the people downtown off duty and who is well acquainted with the merchants by name. That Merlin. 🤨
Noble: ...
Arthur: Any other questions? Good, let's see about lunch. Someone call Merlin back from town, he knows how I like my sandwiches made. 🍞🥪
Princess: *Trying to be seductive and pretty* I hear your looking for a Queen? 😉
Arthur: *Not interested and wishing to strangle a court elder* Apparently... 😒
Princess: I could be your Queen~ *Tries to touch his arms sensually*😘👑
Arthur: *Disgusted and Panics* 😬 Sadly you don't meet my requirements.
Princess: Well, what are your requirements? I'm sure I can more then meet them~😘
Arthur: Black hair, large ears, calls me a prat and male.
Princess: *Flabbergasted*
Arthur: *runs*
Knight on the side: It's Merlin. Just so you know.
Gwaine: So is anyone gonna tell him or should I?
Leon: It's been over a Decade and sadly the King has yet to admit it.
Percival: It's just Merlin. The guy doesn't even hides how devoted he is to Arthur.
Leon: Unfortunate really. Arthur was never able to place a label on what he felt for Merlin. Anything that boy does is instantly just categorised as "Merlin".
Gwaine: He gets his own category? Where do we go under.
Leon: "Merlin's Knights" apparently. He said as much while drunk and wistfully talked about retiring into the countryside and buy a farm where he and Merlin can own a cow and some chickens. He especially wanted the chickens.
Gwaine: *Laughs*
Percival: Damn, he's got it bad. And I can't even deny it. We basically did come together thanks to Merlin. But why chickens?
Leon: Said it was a engagement present for Merlin.
Percival: ...
Gwaine: ... Called it.
Knight: *Sees magic near Merlin* Sorcerer! *Arrests him and goes to the King*
Arthur: What is this?
Knight: Sire! I witnessed this servant doing Sorcery! *Points to Merlin*
Arthur: It's Merlin.
Knight: Yes Sire. He was doing magic.
Merlin: Arthur I can explain-
Arthur: *Raises his hand up to pause his words* You sure of this?
Knight: *Says smugly* Yes Sire!
Arthur: Right then. *Proceeds to go to his desk and picks up something before signing them with his seal*
Arthur: Hand this to Geoffrey, from henceforth the Magic Ban has been lifted.
Knight: WHAT!? 😱
Merlin: WHAT!? 🤯
Knight: B-but- my King?! WHY!?
Arthur: *Casually shrugs* It's Merlin.
