Camelot, Saturday

[bitchprince]

The guards of Camelot were up well and early tonight. This, as became immediately apparent to the villagers, would not be one of the peaceful days.

"Search the stables!" Arthur bellowed, stomping across the roads within the city walls as if he owned the place, which technically, it did. "You, check the kitchens. And you, go see about the guards above the South Gate!"

Homes were rifled through, shops were poked at, people were questioned. And all barely after the first rooster had crowed, at that. Whatever was happening, it was obviously big.

"The Queen has accused you of taking her Seal," Arthur said, stalking straight on past him. Damn it.

"I didn't take anything!" Yes, because that was important now.

"I don't want to know, and you haven't got time to explain," Arthur said, simply. 'Gathering evidence', whatever it was-- he really didn't care. He took a quick gander through the door on the other end of the room to ensure that there was no one around at all. "If you value your life, you'll leave Camelot right now."

"Leave leave?"

"Until I manage to put an end to this," he said. "Hopefully not long-- look, Merlin, you really don't have time." Uther'd have him executed for less, for god's sakes.

"I--" Merlin, don't make a kicked puppy face. It ruins the drama of the scene.

He grabbed Arthur's jacket, pulling him forward for a quick kiss. "I have my mobile."

Arthur kissed him back as swiftly as he could.

Someone banged on the front door. "Sire?!"

"I'll text," he said, pulling back to throw said door a quick look. Then he pushed Merlin towards the back one. "Just go," he snapped.

And away Merlin went. Because Camelot had somehow gone more insane in the past week.

If that was even possible.
