Building off of my last post, do we think Hunith knew about Merlin's new job making arthur pendragon question his sexuality serving the prince? do you think Gaius was sending her daily letters like 'Guess what your bitchy warlock child did this time' or did he just arrive back with arthur and she was like ??? why has my son turned the crown prince gay???? is this illegal???

I know Arthur had gone after Merlin in The Moment of Truth to save Ealdor then get Merlin back to Camelot so everything can be back to normal. But we need to consider another option:
Gwen and Morgana, also fearing to lose Merlin forever, huddled in Arthur's chambers.
Morgana: Did you give him the sword?
Gwen: I did.
Arthur: He did manage to hold it upright, I hope.
Gwen: He did, but...
Morgana: Oh dear, he did not slash himself, did he?
Gwen: No, his still has every limb. But I asked him to tell me how the sword felt, and he said it was... "very swordy".
Arthur: ...
Morgana: ...
Arthur, dropping his drumstick.
Gwen: My Lord-
Morgana: It's worse than we thought.
Gwen: I know, my Lady.
Arthur: We need to go with him.
Gwen: I know, Sire
Arthur: He's going to kill himself before his friends could say hi to him.

I was rewatching sword in the stone pt 1 for shits and giggles (cause I remembered simpleton Arthur and thought the ep would be hilarious. spoiler alert: I WAS WRONG 😭)
and my God, my heart hurts at the look on Arthur's face when they're taking him brainwashed and away from Camelot.
No will, no memories, no sense of "himself" and still he yearns for Camelot 😭 at his core he is king. you can take everything away from him but his love for his kingdom and people is etched in his blood and bone

Their is always this moment in "Arthur returns" fics where the subject of how government has changed comes up and Merlin invariably goes "Oh yeah we have this thing called democracy now and it's really good haha" and each time I can't help but be taken back.
Cause look. I love Merlin but that boy is a hardcore, dyed in the wool Royalist if there ever was one. He believes in his King so much that he waited for more then a thousand years for the crisis bad enough that it would call Arthur back from Avalon to reclaim his throne, never doubting that he would return and he would fix everything when he did.
Merlin 100% believes in the institution of absolute monarchy as a result of Arthur. He would still be bitter about the Magna Carta in the year 2023 and have a dart board somewhere with a picture of Cromwell taped to it. He would be disgusted by the office of sovereign being reduced to figurehead celebrity and is convinced their hasn't been a proper sovereign since Anne Stuart. He calls the Hanovers "those posers from the continent". He likes the Windsors a little bit better but not much: George VI and Liz II won some points in his book for their services in World War 2, but he detests the advent of the modern "celebrity royal" for degrading the dignity of the crown to new lows.
Everything wrong with England and Britain, in his mind, is the fault of Parliament who he still sees as a bunch of unruly Barons and angry Roundheads squandering the nation's future to stay in power.
(If anything Arthur "I want what's best for my people always" Pendragon is the one much more into the idea of democracy and parliament, and would crush Merlin's hopes of simply dissolving to body by instead reforming it to make it more fair.)
