The two slept in the bed and Merlin couldn’t believe how comfortable it was, he slept the best he’s ever rested before, Arthur eventually had to wake him up.

The two ate and Merlin watched Arthur.

“If…the demon controls you when you leave the room, why not stay here?”

Arthur huffed before biting into a piece of meat.

“Don’t you think I would have tried that already?”

Merlin looked deflated and sighed. “Right…”

“I have to walk out, or else he says he will cause unspeakable evil to MY kingdom, I can’t disobey that fucking thing, I can’t have him unleashing his army upon my people, if I disobey him then he will kill everyone here.” Arthur says before pointing his fork at the man. “-That includes you.”

Merlin hummed, understanding the situation before letting out a roar of laughter.

Arthur blinked, frowning. “You know…it’s not a good thing to laugh at, these are my people you know!”

“I know, I know…it’s just…kings need to be firm and well…” Merlin lets out a snort. “Your like a servant to him, it’s hilarious.”

“What are you implying, may I ask?” Arthur hissed lowly.

“The demon is all talk Arthur, try and test it out, the demon might only have the power when he is out of here, stay here today and see…”

“I can’t risk my people getting hurt!”

“You have the best knights in the whole of the five kingdoms, I think they will help the villagers well…”

Arthur huffed. “I can’t do it..”

“Fine…” Merlin said before standing and gets a cloth and bucket and hands them to Arthur. “I want this place spotless in an hour.”

Arthur looked at him, confused and angry.

“If you’re a servant to the demon, then you are a servant to me.” Merlin said before leaning in close. “If your not scared to punch me and say no, then why are you scared to do it to the demon?”

Arthur was quiet before throwing the bucket and cloth onto the floor and stood up before looming over Merlin.

“NO, I AM NOT YOUR SERVANT, I AM YOUR KING!”

Merlin smiled before clapping. “Well done.”

Arthur took a few deep breaths before chuckling to himself. “That was…reliving.”

“It is, isn’t it?” Merlin says with a smile before patting Arthur’s arm. “Come, stay for today…if I am proven wrong them I will calm the big bad demon for you.” He says in a tone that it was as if he was speaking to a child.

Arthur smirked before pulling Merlin into a headlock and have him a noogie.

Merlin cried out. “Ow, ow oooow!! Let me go!”

“What…’let me go’ what Merrrrlin?”

“Le..Let me go sire!”

Arthur smiled before letting the man go and Merlin sighed, rubbing his head.

“Don’t be such a girl Merlin…” Arthur said teasingly. “Now, run me a bath.”

Merlin huffs. “I’m not your manservant.”

“You are now.” Arthur smiles, arms folded.

“What!?” Merlin shrikes, shocked. “I didn’t ask for this!”

“No, you didn’t…but I am your king…and you will be my manservant.”

Merlin pouts. “I think I liked the other Arthur better.”

Arthur gasps mockingly.

Merlin chuckles. “Joking…”

Arthur smiles warmly at the man.
Merlin and Arthur start a sweet bond but when Merlin questions Arthur, the king starts to wonder about what is really going on around him.
