Summary
Laurent rode beside him in silence, pale and beautiful and untouchable. To the people of Akielos, he was something of a tragic figure, a beautiful, sorrowful prize. “So sad,” they whispered in the markets and palace halls. “The poor crown prince of Vere, forced to meet his soulmate in the middle of such bloodshed. How cruel the gods can be.” They pitied him openly, even as they celebrated Damen.

Summary
People see Camelot's prince from afar and see a perfect Alpha. It's only when a select few get closer that they realize he's a weirdly muscular Omega with an unnatural fearlessness of Alphas.
People see the prince's lanky, unassuming manservant, and their eyes pass over him as a mere Beta. Almost no one realizes he's a Scentless Alpha with unusual self-control. Even the prince doesn't know.
When two royal families visit to solidify their alliance with Camelot, things get tricky as sinister prince schemes to Claim Camelot's Omega prince as his own.
Can Merlin protect Arthur from these machinations while keeping his own secrets hidden? Or will the wicked Prince Drustan have his way?
If he doesn't, what will be the consequences?

Summary
Merlin is lying about who he is (warlock, alpha) so he won't lose his head. Arthur is lying about who he is (omega) so he can make his father proud and inherit his crown. Even Morgana is lying and hoping that the lies will bring her happiness at last.
Is the joy of being seen worth the pain of unraveling the lies?

Summary
Arthur's eyes widen minutely, and Merlin can see fists tighten by his side, but he doesn't move out of Merlin's grasp, doesn't show any other reaction. And Merlin has never touched Arthur like this, never so unkindly but he's reached a boiling point, the thought of carrying on with this thankless routine is agonising.
His voice is almost a whisper when he speaks next. He leans in closer, unable to look at Arthur anymore, instead he says his next words a breath away from his ear. "You could thank me on your knees and it wouldn't come anywhere close to adequate appreciation."
.
In which Merlin is overwhelmed and underappreciated. Stretched thin between keeping the kingdom safe, playing the role of Arthur’s servant as well as the role of Gaius’ apprentice, and dealing with his magic, he snaps and quits. Arthur, of course, begins to realise the emptiness of life without Merlin. What follows is a mix of frustration, hurt, pining, and, finally, a reunion. Featuring the ever tired and concerned knights of the round table (except Gwaine, he doesn’t really give a shit.)
