Summary
Merlin is the worst manservant Arthur has ever had. He’s always late, constantly forgets his breakfast, and can’t clean a room to save his life.
He’s the bravest person Arthur has ever known.
When Merlin saves his life (again) and Uther forbids Arthur from returning the favour, everything Arthur has been taught starts to feel wrong. Cruel, even.
One day, he wants to be a better king. A fairer one. To do that, he’ll have to start questioning his father’s beliefs—about loyalty, about magic, and about what (and who) truly matters.
If that means keeping a closer eye on Merlin without being noticed, so be it.
My personal version of the story in which Arthur knows something doesn’t add up and begins to piece it all together when he hears Merlin cast a spell and kill the griffin. Arthur's not stupid, no one will convince me otherwise
