Why this must be read:

Merlin and Morgana use their powers to stop an attack on Uther and Arthur and are exiled from Camelot. They get taken in by the druids and there are hints of what's to come.

They escape. It is almost a lark for they are not worried about it one bit.

It’s what happens before they escape that really tests them:

Arthur, un-shockingly, barrels his way into the dungeons and dismisses the guard with a sharp order that Morgana smirks at.

“Are you two completely insane! Are you not aware of what you’ve done! Of how stupid you’ve been? I-I…” he breaks off, standing in front of them, their bodies form a triangle and Arthur reaches to drop his hand on the cold iron that separates them, “I cannot do anything without raising suspicion. Fools.”

Merlin rolls his eyes and scoffs, “Clearly, we just shouldn’t have saved you then.”

“Merlin,” Arthur sighs in that annoyed yet affectionate way that he does and turns to Morgana, “you both should have been more careful.” As his eyes meets her, Morgana understands what he’s telling her. Merlin will always be lackadaisical with his power, a stupid but endearing trait, but she, she’s lived under Uther’s roof, she should have known better.
