Merlin (TV)
by PlatitudinalTeen
When a bad morning encourages Arthur to take a quick ride to clear his head before meeting his royal guests, he returns to find someone else, his servant, has already greeted them. And he did it while pretending to the be the king.------The knights both moved to barricade the door with their bodies. "I'm afraid we can't let you do that," Elyan told him.Arthur sighed. "Why not?""Because you've already met them," Gwaine blurted out without giving Elyan any time to prepare for the potential ramifications, mainly death, that could follow after Arthur found out how they'd spent their morning."What are you talking about?" Arthur asked wearily."Well, sire, see it's like this...We realized you wouldn't be back in time before they rode in so Merlin put on your royal robes and met the King and Queen while claiming to be you that way they wouldn't get mad about you being late and now he's preparing a tour of the castle and you can't leave your room because then they'd know we were all lying to them and there would be absolutely no possibility of ever having a civilized treaty with them," he inhaled, catching his breath. "Simple, really. No need to get upset or anything."
