magiciitself - Goblinâs Gold AU
It just had to happen. Pursued by that wretched boy across the castle, the goblin left behind a trail of mischief and mayhem as he revelled in his new found freedom. Beating the warlock to the upper levels, the greedy creature tore into the royal bedchambers, leaving doors swinging on their hinges in his wake.Â
Hide... Need to hide...
In growing desperation, the goblin threw books and ornaments across the room, smashing plates and mirrors - before at last burrowing deep into the ear of the golden-haired prince.Â
Arthur snores in his sleep, doing little to stop the intrusion. Settling his head more comfortably into the pillows, he sighs in the blissful embrace of a dream.
Gold.Â
He certainly has lots of it. Chests upon chests of sparkling jewels and gold pieces. The treasures of Camelot were famous across all the five kingdoms. The value of the entire collection is without equal, precious beyond measure.Â
And, as crown prince, all those riches will soon be his...
The doors of Arthur's bedchambers burst open for a second time that evening. The loud bang echoes throughout the room. Roused abruptly from sleep, the prince lunges for the sword propped up against his bed, ready to defend himself against the unexpected intruder-
"Merlin?!â Â
Mind still half-muddled by sleep, Arthur cautiously lowers the blade. His face twists into a confused expression.Â
âWhat are you doing here at this hour? I hadn't sent for you."Â
Dropping his gaze, he spies the thick, woven blanket held in his manservantâs arms. Licking his lips nervously, the goblin wearing Arthurâs skin hesitates, before inquiring with Arthurâs voice: â....Whatâs that for?âÂ
