Hidden Secrets

Chapter 23

"I am proud of you," Father smiled and brought forward his arm which i grasped in mine "Goodbye,"

I looked upon their fading figures as my eyes as well become droopy and in a matter of seconds i am greeted with darkness again

(Back to Arthur)

As night emerged, the knights of Ealoran showed us to our chambers for the night. I went into mine after bidding the knights good night. I took a quick bath, scrubbing a few patches of dried blood and only now feeling some small cuts that i might have gotten during the battle. I had decided to spent the night with Merlin instead of being here, i couldn't just spend a night here when the person i hold dear is in pain

I quickly changed through these clothes and took the bags that the others from the village had bought once they knew that the kingdom is safe again. I pulled out a simple white tunic and brown trousers. Luckily, no major trouble was caused when i dresses my self except for i had my hand where my neck was suppose to go in and had my face where the hand was suppose to go in. It was a really unusual experience actually but once i had gotten everything in the right way i looked once more in the mirror rechecking that i wont be making a fool of my self

There was a knock at my door and a servant came in to take the tub of water back. I left the chambers at once, making my way to Merlin, nodding at the passing people who bowed in respect. Once i reached, i knocked the door and went inside. I could see that no one was awake and my eyes landed on Mordred first who shifted in his bed was still asleep. Lastly, my eyes landed on Merlin, there was an extra cot beside him, so i just layed down their in hopes of getting some sleep with Merlin close knowing that he would be alright. Darkness enveloped me with the thoughts of me and Merlin as i fell in to a peaceful slumber

3rd Person POV:

Sylvia had the fears of her brother dying on her, but once thats she got the news that he was gonna be fine, nothing else mattered to her. And this relieved James more, as to not seeing her miserable anymore and crying to her self. After kissing Sylvia goodnight, James made his way to Knights' chambers along with the others. After getting out of the armour, washing her self up and putting on a simple light pink sleeping gown with a shrug she went to see her brother

From time to time she would remember how her life could've been if the knights hadn't found Merlin in the first place. For a moment, she stopped at one of the balconies, looking out in the forest. She had grown fond of the smell of the fresh lake water and trees and flowers in the open. She had grown to waking up and seeing the greenery and the pleasant smell of the woods, right after the rain. After smiling to her self for a minute admiring the view, she went to the infirmary to Merlin

She went in noticed that a certain King was beside Merlin on a different cot but there hands were touching and she smiled to her self. Her thoughts went to Merlin, he deserved this, he deserved so much more then this. She crouched down beside his cot, and layed took one of his hands in hers

"You can't leave me this easily, jerk," Sylvia chuckled to her self "You had scared me to death. I was not ready to loose you too, and i certainly wasn't ready for ruling a Kingdom either,"

Sylvia spent the next hour beside Merlin's cot telling him nothing but everything in general and giggling to herself from time to time. But her energy could also only last long, her eyes felt heavy and she placed her hands on the empty space on the cot and put her head down yawing as sleep swept her away immediately after mumbling a goodnight to faint Merlin
