Summary
“Shut up!” he yells, and it’s right here where he makes the biggest mistake in Mercia’s visit.
Having your head smashed into a concrete wall isn’t something Merlin would recommend. “Don’t you fucking dare yell at me. Do you understand? How dare you be so insolent. You know, I was going to give you a small kick and be done with it, let the Prince deal with you himself as I’m sure he does. But no one disrespects me like that, boy. You hear me?”Merlin knows that Arthur doesn't truly hurt him because he wants to, he knows that the prince is just used to horseplay. Merlin also knows that Arthur would never beat him, or any servant for that matter, and he's secure in his knowledge of that. Visiting knights, however, seem to have a different idea of what happens behind closed doors, especially when they see all the things Arthur throws at his servant. So, if the prince can hurt Merlin, why can't they?

Summary
Somehow, as if by magic or the rules of a fairytale, Merlin did not wake up alone. Not on a cold dungeon’s floor, not even in his own room.
Here he was, lying in, perhaps, the softest bed he’d ever been on. His chest to an impossibly plush comforter, his cheek smushed against something harder and warmer than the usual pillow.
Merlin’s eyes tried to blink awake with revelation but couldn’t in the face of such formidable comfort.
