    Summary

    “Gwen, it’s terrible,” Merlin said. “He’s polite! He’s kind, even!”

    “And that’s a problem?” Gwen asked, dryly.

    "I’m going to have to go through an entire week serving the perfect Golden Prince, and then go back to my Prince Prat, and I think it’s going to break me, Gwen. He’s going to get me used to it, and then it’ll be back to mile-long lists, and being called stupid instead of spectacular and how am I supposed to handle that?”

    Gwen said, hesitantly, “I thought you liked Arthur?”

    “I do,” Merlin said, sounding even lower than before. “I have to.”

    * * *
    When a visiting Prince visits Camelot, and takes Merlin as his servant during his negotiations with The Crown, Merlin finds himself being seen in a way he'd always wished Arthur would see him, and doesn't know what to do with any of it.
