   Summary

   The druids are not convinced of Arthur’s acceptance of magic. Since he is already married to Queen Guinevere, he can’t reassure them with a political marriage. But what about a consort with magical abilities?

    

   Merlin is happy for Arthur and Gwen, even though his heart hurts everytime he sees them and he tries to pull away from them, he is not their friend after all, he is just a servant. Watching them from afar is hard already, but how can he stand to watch Arthur doting on a royal favourite, a consort.
