Sadly I do not own Merlin. It belongs to the BBC.

Well, here it is. The last chapter, sorry for leaving the last chapter in the air like that.

I know I put that this chapter won't be up for a couple of days, but I can't do that to you. Once again, thank you for the reviews, I love you all.

Enjoy. : )

After Uther left Gwen's house she blew out all of her candles, left her house and ran to see Merlin with tears in her eyes.

Entering Gaius's chambers she saw that he was asleep but saw a light shining from underneath Merlin's door and hoped he was still awake. She knocked twice and waited.

Merlin opened his door and saw Gwen stood there with tears running down her face. "Gwen what's wrong?"

When Gwen left Merlin she made her way to Arthur's chambers. Reaching his chambers, she took a deep breath before entering.

Walking into his chambers, she saw Arthur sat on one of his chairs staring at his fire. "Arthur?"

Arthur turned and saw Gwen. When he saw tears in her eyes he stood up and went to hug her but she pushed him back. "Guinevere? What's wrong?"

"I've come to say goodbye Arthur."

"Goodbye? What do you mean?"

"I'm leaving Arthur. Tonight."

"Why?"

"Why do you think? I can't go on living in Camelot. Seeing you everyday with her is going to hurt too much. I'm sorry."

"I've already told you and made it quite clear. I'm not going to marry her."

"Arthur you must. You will not marry her because you love me."

"I do."

"And I love you Arthur. But what I'm saying, is that you refuse to marry her because you love me, and all this has done is cause rifts and arguments between you and your father, and I feel that that is because of me and if it carries on I'll never be able to forgive myself."

"Guinevere." Arthur said, close to tears.

"I'm sorry Arthur. If you love me as much as you say you do you will marry tomorrow, keep peace within Camelot and let me go. Please Arthur."

"Guinevere."

"Arthur please don't make this any harder for me." Gwen stood up on her tip toes and kissed him. He kissed back, but as he started to put his arms around her waist, she pulled away. "Goodbye Arthur." Seeing the hurt look in his eyes and the tears starting to form there, she turned and left.

The next morning Arthur stormed into the throne room to see it being decorated for the wedding that will take place in a couple of hours. "Where's the King?" Arthur barked at one of the servants.

"In his chambers sire."

Arthur turned and left the throne room and headed for his fathers chambers.

Reaching his fathers chambers, Arthur barged in and made Uther, who was sat at his table, jump. "Son? What are you doing here?"

"Stop this wedding."

"No Arthur, you will soon see that it's for the best."

Merlin entered the throne room looking for Arthur. "Have any of you seen Arthur."

"Yes. He came in here looking for the king and I told him that he was in his chambers."

"Was Arthur in a good mood or bad mood?"

"Bad." Merlin swore under his breath and ran from the throne room shouting 'thank you' as he left.

"I can not and will not stop this wedding Arthur."

"Can not? You're the king; you can do as you please."

"That may be but this wedding will go ahead."

"I'll give you so long father. I will get ready and I will make my way there, play the part, but know this, I am doing this for Guinevere and no-one else. And also know this father. If you don't stop my wedding to Anne, then you might as well no longer think of me as your son, because I will no longer think of you as my father, you will be nothing to me and I will think of myself as nothing to you. That is not a threat father. That is a promise." and with that, Arthur turned on his heel and left.

All dressed and ready for the ceremony, Arthur made his way to the throne room with Merlin following him. "Merlin you go on in." he said as he spotted his father waiting for him outside the double doors.

Ignoring his father, Arthur stood by his side and waited.

Uther signalled for the guards to open the doors. When they opened Arthur and Uther made their way to the front where Geoffrey was waiting.

As he made his way to the front, Arthur saw everyone bowing or curtsying with smiles on their faces, reaching the front the saw Morgana stood next to Merlin holding his hand. Arthur came to a stop and Uther walked away from him to take his place.

Arthur heard the music start to play which meant that his bride was making her way towards him; he heard murmurs of people say how beautiful she looked, but Arthur wasn't interested, he kept his eyes on his feet and didn't even notice that his bride had reached him until Geoffrey said. "Prince Arthur. Your queen to be."

Arthur turned and faced his bride. He lifted her veil to see, not Anne, but Gwen, beaming at him.

"Guinevere?"

"Arthur."

Arthur looked at his father to see him smiling at him.

"Shall we begin?" asked Geoffrey.

After the wedding Arthur was dancing with his wife, his future queen, his Guinevere.

"You still need to explain something to me. How long did you know about you marrying me?"

"Since last night. Your father came to see me. Told me that he has been watching us all week. He said he was wrong and that earlier that day he talked to Anne's father and stopped the wedding but said it will still go ahead as I will be marrying you."

"Why didn't you say that last night then when you came to see me? Why say that you were leaving?"

"Uther's idea, he said to do that and throw you off so it will be an even bigger surprise when you see me under the veil and not Anne."

"How did you manage to cry?"

"I had to think of every sad thing that I have witnessed. As soon as Uther left my house, I went to Merlin to tell him what was happening, he was worried that I was crying, but he started to relax when he realised that they were tears of joy. Not sadness. I was kind of nervous that Merlin might let something slip to you this morning because he was so excited when I told him."

"He has a huge grin plastered to his face all morning. When I snapped at him asking how can he possibly be in a good mood, all he said was 'I love weddings.' I know why he was happy now."

Whilst Gwen was dancing with Leon, Arthur went to talk to his father.

"Father."

"Son."

"I'm sorry for what I said this morning."

"Don't worry about it, you weren't to know."

"What changed your mind father?"

"I had been watching you all week. I saw how your face would light up whenever you saw Gwen, how you always had a smile on your face when she was around you and how after arguments with me you'd go to her and she would have you calm within minutes. That's just how I used to be with your mother. I've suffered with this pain in my heart since your mother passed, I know what it's like, and I couldn't put you through the same."

Arthur smiled. "Thank you father."

Uther clapped Arthur on the back. "You're welcome son. Now go and dance with your bride." Arthur smiled at his father one last time before walking away.

Uther walked up to Morgana and saw that she was staring at Merlin, like she had been doing all night. Uther smiled, he knew that something was going on between the two of them; he also knew that if he put a stop to it, she would kick up about it more than Arthur did with Gwen.

"You know Morgana. With a feast as magnificent as this going on and all this dancing, you are supposed to be dancing with the one you love, not stand and stare at him."

When Morgana turned and looked at Uther she saw him smiling. "I know about you and Merlin. I may be old but I'm not daft."

Morgana raised her eyebrows at him.

"Well, most of the time. You both have my blessing." Morgana kissed Uther on the cheek. "Thank you." she said before walking away to go to Merlin.

Arthur walked up to Gwen and Leon dancing. "May I?"

Gwen smiled. "You may." Leon stepped back and walked away. Arthur took hold of Gwen's hand and put his other hand on her waist. "My Lady."

Gwen held Arthur's hand and put her other hand on his shoulder. "My Prince." she said smiling at Arthur who smiled back as they started to dance.

There you go. I hope you've enjoyed reading this story as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

And I hope you liked the ending.
