Summary
“You know the usual me. The one that always goes with you when there's a magical threat, just to ensure your safety.” He hoped that his attempt at lightening up the mood would break some of the tension. Unfortunately he saw Arthur's shoulders tense up a little.
"Merlin, you are not riding out with us" Arthur still didn't even look up at the younger man, keeping his failing attention on papers, his voice trying to take on a nonchalant tone but his piercing gaze only intensifying in its severity.
OR
A different take on the episode “The Last Dragonlord” where Arthur didn’t relent and actually forbade Merlin from riding out with him to fight the dragon. Of course Merlin ignores him and tries to face it alone, although this time he doesn’t know if he will even get a chance to succeed, all the while Arthur tries to ensure his servant’s… his friend’s safety.

Summary
“And next to petition…” droned the herald, looking down at his papers. “Welcome Lady Enid Kantor to speak to the court.”
Merlin yawned.
“The lady is here to offer her services…” – a confused look came upon his face – “to the King.”
A murmur rose in among the nobles as a small older woman slowly made her way up the aisle to the throne.
Arthur raised an eyebrow. “You wish to offer me a service?”
“Yes, your majesty, I do.”
Whispers and frowns were interchanged among the nobles, but the Lady Kantor only smiled. “One could say I am an inspector of sorts.”Or: An inspector comes to Camelot to examine the court. Merlin thinks Arthur finally lost his mind.

“I’ll do that…” Arthur glanced up as Merlin’s voice broke him out of his thoughts.
”Yes, you’ll, but, in the meantime, about that dragon’s egg.” He paused, observing the way Merlin stiffened. “Sarrum mentioned the dragon was only a year or two old. I know it’s impossible. But the timing is almost too perfect.”

Their captor grabs Arthur, pressing a knife tightly to his throat.
“Got any confessions for me now, boy?” The man snarls, his gaze fixed almost feverishly on Merlin.

His eyes flood with gold, and the knife against Arthur’s throat clatters to the ground.
