"Merlin" Arthur walked into Rachel's lab, from the tone of his voice it sounded like he was going to do something stupid. Morgan who was Panting on a Canvas lifted her eyebrow as she looked at Arthur and then turned around to continue to paint.
"Whatever it is, you must get the Sir, Fleches approval." Rachel said not even looking at him Sir, Fleches is the royal tutor.
"Shit" he whispered.
"What was that" Rachel commented with her concentration on a translucent liquid in a spoon, she was slowly trying to place a drop of it into a black and frightening looking liquid. When she successfully gotten a drop in their she put the rest of the blue liquid into its original container and sealed it up before quickly putting it away. All the while observing the reactions of the black liquid.
"Nothing" Arthur said quickly, "Can I have some laxatives?"
Rachel paused as she rubbed her head. "I don't know what trouble you; Sir Kai and Sir Gawain are getting into. But whatever it is take Sir Percival with you" Rachel waved her hand and sat down a brown vial.
"Thanks Merlin" Arthur said quickly he took the vial and ran off.
"I think I might dread, him becoming King" Morgan said with an exhausted sighed.
"I felt exactly the same way when it came to the current King, but, Morgan at least you will not be here to see such. Ah, that's right. When was the last time you have seen Sir Lancelot."
"….."
"He's your fiancée you know, I hear he has growing affections for Sir Gawain's younger sister Guinevere. Will you let that happen, lose such an exceptional husband and Knight. One in which hasn't been seen in hundreds of years. Saved maidens in distress, taken down plenty of bandits, and also helped the eastern part of Camelot from starvation." Rachel looked up at Morgan, to see her lost in thought. "Have you meet Sir Gawain younger sister Morgan?"
"Merlin…I"
"If you really don't like at all, I will talk to both Uther and Lady Vulgar"
Morgan then suddenly frowned and then looked at her with a smile. "You mean Lady Vivian"
"I meant what I said." Rachel said in a disgusted tone, she was the person Uther threatened so that Arthur could be made. The problem was, she didn't even need to be threatened because she willingly did so. She was also the reason Uther was able to due the Devil's Tango with Morgan mother.
The women is a half-fairy and the person Merlin is supposed to fall in love with and be imprisoned by, she is the high Priestess of Avalon and the adoptive mother of Lancelot. The reason for this marriage is because Lady Vivian thought her 'son' and Morgan would look cute together.
Basically, she slapped the mother Knows best line and shipped to people together regardless of their feelings. She only got this engagement because Uther owed her a favor.
"Merlin, can I just stay here and study to be a doctor with you…..Do I have to get married?" Morgan ended.
"That Chose isn't easy, Morgan, in this country women who do such are considered Witches, and as you know the King only tolerates the Maidens of Avalon." Rachel looked seriously at Morgan. Uther Father's had a serious hatred of magic, some of that passed onto Uther. Although that doesn't mean it discouraged Uther from using it as he does use magic if necessary but will do so if it please himself. Magic user are still discriminated against. As for the Maidens of Avalon they except outsiders into their fold and most of them are selfish and rotten to the core.
"but Morgan I can tell that you don't want to truly be a doctor. Its fine to not get married, I care more about what you want to do. But others will not be so kind."
"…." Morgan stayed silent as she turned back to her picture, It was a place she kept seeing in her dreams. A lake, a small boat and a bright forest surrounding the area.
"Morgan you are still young, you'll eventually find your place where you feel most at ease."
Rachel looked out her window towards the sky, the spirit lines are brightly colored and shiny although she is the only one who can see them. They have been stable, meaning she has done anything to off course.
She glanced back at Morgan who is lost in thought at her stool, 'Perhaps'
Later, Morgan had finished her painting and had taken a seat by the bookshelf and was reading books, her handmaiden was refilling her cup of tea. And When she didn't her gaze would wonder and look elsewhere.
Rachel wasn't sure what Arthur, or his knight friends did but that are now sitting downplaying a game of scrabble together, yes, that board game. The English language isn't to badly developed, she made that as a pass time for her and Morgan.
"Merlin" Uther said slamming open the door.
"What did Arthur do this time?" Rachel calmly as she spun a disgusting bowl of soup one of the servants brought in for her. "Cause he's sitting right here."
"Hey!" Arthur looked up right away with an annoyed expression.
"Nothing,"
That was when everybody looked up at him, Arthur had this guilty look for a moment, indicating he had done something stupid. And now it seems he is surprised that he isn't going to get yelled at for it.
Then Rachel stood up from the table and got and idea, from looking at the guilty face Uther had on.
"Henry is coming back to Camelot" Uther gulped and looked a little nervous.
"You slept with his wife didn't you" Rachel blurted out at him.
"It was only once okay" Uther tried to defend himself, the entire room went quiet. Arthur, Morgan, Sir Kai, and Sir Gawain, the handmaiden were like 'Wait, What?' at this point.

Rachel Faced palmed and sighed like not tomorrow. "So, what would you like at your funeral?'
"Merlin!"
"I am not the one who deiced to sleep with his brother wife, and if I Know Lady Irene. She may have even already passed away. You already know it is a disgrace for a woman to lay with another man, just what…." Rachel paused for a moment. "Never-mind that, If you want to talk more. Let's do so without an audience."
Uther finally remember the people in the room, looked down for a bit and got red. "You all will not speak of this to anyone."
"That means you too, Gawain." Rachel said walking out with Arthur. The room was quickly quiet.
"So, I guess causing trouble runs in the family" Said one of Arthur's friend with a slight smile and Arthur through a goblet at him, to which he simply dodged.
