Summary
“I’m sorry, there must be a mistake.” Uther furrows his brows. “That is my son’s manservant.”
“This is Emrys, the most powerful sorcerer who will ever walk the earth. It is our deepest honor to be able to offer his hand to your son.”
“Merlin?” Arthur asks, looking across the hall. Merlin looks the palest and the smallest Arthur has ever seen him. He looks like a scared animal that knows it’s about to be trapped, and that’s when it clicks for Arthur that no part of this is a joke. None of it. “Merlin, what are they talking about?”

Summary
What starts with Arthur wanting to understand Merlin's incessant ramblings about herbs and the like, ends in him finding a note detailing a prophecy about the union of The Once And Future King and a sorcerer by the name of Emrys.
He supposes it's probably time to lift his father's magic ban if he is to marry a sorcerer.Merlin doesn't know how to break it to Arthur that he's, one, a sorcerer, two, the sorcerer that Arthur is looking for and intends to marry (???), and three, that he's also quite stupidly in love with him and isn't actually all that opposed to the whole marriage thing.
