    Summary

    “He is but a boy, Arthur!” Merlin scolds. “Evil is not innate, it is taught, just as goodness is.” Arthur stands from his throne.

    “So you ask me to spare the child? He uses sorcery-”

    “As do I!” Merlin interrupts, slamming the end of his staff onto the ground, making the stone glow a bright green. “As does Morgana!” Merlin shifts his eyes to the woman, her face empty but anger grows behind her eyes as she looks at Arthur. “How do you think your people would act knowing you executed a child.” Merlin spits. Arthur sighs, sitting back down. Leaning heavily against the chair, he rubs between his eyes. “The child has about the same capacity of reading and writing as he does evil; none.” Merlin stares Arthur down. The king eventually sighs, waving. 

    “Then you will take him under your care and teach him good magic.” Arthur looks down at the boy, glaring. “You will teach him to be useful or else he will be put to use my way-in the ground.”

    “As you wish, your Majesty.”
