Merlin thought he was awake, he knew that all this was fake, that no magic could really turn back thousands of years, that Arthur and his time had been sealed in history, and that the people they knew at the time had completely disappeared from this world, leaving only some names.

For example, Knights of the Round Table, Gwen? Naville, Morgana, etc., they have all become just a name mentioned in history, and no one knows what they really did, what kind of northern background and legend they had.

Merlin has lived for thousands of years, and there are many things that he actually sees very clearly, for example, he can never go back to the time when he was a valet, but in his heart, although Merlin understands, he has a desire to stay here completely, and that thought is a call from the bottom of his heart.

"Merlin?"

Gaius called his name again, Merlin sniffed and walked up to hug the man who looked like his father, Gaius still had the herbs in his hand, he was a little frightened by Merlin's actions, "What's wrong with you, Merlin?" ”

"I just...... Something misses you. ”

Gaius frowned, he pushed Merlin away and put his hand on Merlin's forehead, he wondered if the kid had a fever and started talking nonsense.

Merlin knew that no one would understand what he had been thinking for thousands of years, but he felt the care of Gaius.

He remembered that after Arthur fell into a deep sleep, he began to travel around, and only returned to Camelot City a few times, once when Gaius died and once when Gwen died. The castle was like a cage to him, where all the memories of Arthur were stored, and he did not dare touch it, because he seemed to be able to see the man and hear him call his name wherever he went.

Gaius is glad that Merlin was able to complete the task that no one has done, and it was he who made the continent begin to accept magic again, so that the druids and wizards did not have to hide and be hunted, but Gaius also regretted Arthur's death, that king after all, he watched little by little, and then stood at the top of this continent.

Merlin returned to the castle before Gwen's death, and it was the last time he observed it, and there was Arthur's shadow everywhere, which Merlin had not forgotten for many years. He carried Gwen, who was still king, to wander around the castle, and at last only the two of them were left, and all of them had left them completely, starting from Lancelot to Arthur......

The elderly Gwen looked at Merlin, who was exactly the same as in his memory, and actually laughed, Merlin still remembered what Gwen said to himself at that time, "Time is still in your favor, I have gray hair and you are still the same as when we first met." ”

Merlin looked down and smiled as she squeezed Gwen's hand, if she could...... In fact, he also hopes to grow old with everyone, and he even hopes to grow old with Arthur.

Gwen is perhaps the most clear of them all, Arthur can give him everything but can't give her all his heart, Arthur can't have one person by his side, and that person is Merlin.

There's really nothing wrong with that they're half of each other.

The two of them traveled all over the castle, and Gwen told him many things, such as what she had done in the decades since he and Arthur were gone, and she said that she wished to meet Lancelot when she went to the world of the dead, because Gwen knew that Arthur's heart could never be on him, and he wouldn't force anything.

Merlin sent off one friend after another, and in the end he was left alone, alone.

"Go ahead, Arthur is calling you."

Merlin laughed, and he said to Gaius, "I'll be back at noon to dine with you." ”

Although he had always thought that Gaius's food was not tasty, he ...... But I miss it a little bit.

Merlin didn't know exactly when it was, and he didn't know why the magic of the Ancient Religion had brought him back here, but he looked like he had been a thousand years ago. Pushing open the familiar wooden door, Merlin looked at the "stupid" with his back to him, it seemed that Arthur had not yet finished his clothes and armor, judging from the decoration of the room, this should be the time point after Arthur and Gwen got married.

"Merlin, why didn't you stupid come now?!"

"Because I slept in."

Merlin thought that Arthur was the Arthur who had accompanied him through the wizarding world again, so he spoke more easily, but he seemed to be wrong, and when Arthur stopped his neck and rubbed his hair with his fist and shouted that Merlin was a servant who dared to be lazy, Merlin knew that he was probably the only one from the future.

Such a domineering Arthur and the gentle Arthur after that are both alone, I don't know why Merlin laughed, and laughed very happily. Arthur let go of the laughing Merlin and muttered, "You didn't sleep stupidly Merlin, what's so funny about this?" ”

Merlin's smile was contagious to Arthur, and he laughed as he spoke, and he opened his arms and said to Merlin, "Now change my clothes, and chain mail, I need to go to training." ”

Merlin changed Arthur's clothes as usual,

He was a little clumsy today, which made Arthur frown and said, "Aren't you sick?" Why are you so stupid today? ”

Merlin shook his head, it wasn't that he had become stupid, it was just that he hadn't missed it for thousands of years.

Arthur looked at Merlin and thought for a moment before he continued, "I reluctantly gave you half a day off to make yourself smarter. ”

Merlin didn't argue with Arthur's stupidity, and he agreed to come down for the holiday.

He wanted to find out what was going on here, what was going on at this particular time.

Although Merlin was on vacation, he didn't go to rest, he just stood on top of the castle and watched Arthur and those familiar faces on the training ground.

"I heard that Arthur gave you a day off?"

It was Gwen, who remembered the name even if he didn't look back, and had become the queen Gwen.

"Looks like Arthur knows what it means to be considerate of a servant."

Gwen covered her mouth and laughed, "I think it's because Merlin is special, Arthur never seems to be able to live without you, and sometimes I'm wondering if Arthur is a baby." ”

Gwen's words made Merlin laugh, he finally knew what was wrong, Gwen wouldn't say such a thing, maybe ...... Here is one of his dreams, in which he wishes to return to Camelot.

"Baby Arthur, that's a great name."

Arthur felt that someone was watching him, he followed his gaze and saw his queen and manservant fighting side by side, Arthur's gaze became gentle, I don't know if it was because he saw Merlin or Gwen, he beckoned in the direction of the two.

"I'm going to prepare for the banquet, Merlin, how are you going to spend your vacation?"

Gwen shrugged his shoulders to show that he was busy, and Merlin shook his head, "This is the first time Arthur has taken me on vacation, probably for a walk in the castle. ”

"Then remember to watch baby Arthur."

He will always look at his important person, his half-body.

In the course of a thousand years, Merlin had thought that if he had explained everything to Arthur earlier, about his identity and about their connection, maybe the outcome would have changed, at least the two of them would not have to meet for thousands of years.

"But have you ever thought about the anger that Arthur would have felt when he found out who you were, he hated magic, and even more so he hated you for killing his father."

"He's Arthur, he's Arthur who will always believe in you."

Merlin had two voices in his head, perhaps he had seen everything in the world, he had allowed himself to do something he had not dared to do, and he only told Arthur about his identity at the last moment.

When Arthur finished training, he saw Merlin waiting in front of the door of his room, and he remembered that he had given Merlin a holiday, and this person should not be here.

"Merlin, didn't I give you a holiday?"

"Arthur, I have something to tell you."

Merlin believes in Arthur because he is Arthur? Pendragon because he was the man Merlin had loved for thousands of years.

But everything will be left to Arthur to decide, whether to survive or ...... Death, and no matter what the ending is Merlin does not regret.

Arthur wakes up from a dream in which he dreams of a terrible thing, he kills Merlin......

He killed Merlin with his own hands, and after Merlin told him that he was a wizard and told him that he could do magic, he personally ordered Merlin to be burned at the stake, and Merlin, who was set on fire, did not let out a half-body scream, but just looked at him quietly, and his eyes revealed his disappointment in him.

Arthur got out of bed/, he needed to see Merlin, he needed to see where Merlin was.

"Merlin? Merlin—"

Someone pushed open the door to his room, and it was Gwen, Gwen in fancy clothes.

"Gwen? Have you seen Merlin? ”

The woman glanced at Arthur and frowned slightly, "Arthur, no one is called Merlin?" Are you ...... Sleepy? ”

No one is called Merlin, there is no such thing as Merlin in this world, everyone told him so, Gaius, Gwen and even Gawain, they all said that Arthur was probably asleep, there was no man named Merlin in their castle, if it was Arthur's previous valet, he would have died in the last war with Morgana.

Arthur sits on the bed / without Merlin? Could it be that Merlin was a dream he had?

But why is everything so real.

The first time Arthur lost his Merlin. 166 Reading Network
