The Prince however tried to end her state of curtsy and fear for him,  which side he didn't liked because it made him appear like a cruel Prince who never loves and will never find love.

He with a bright smile shining from his face said, "I don't want you to hesitate in these matters of affections. I really think Nimueh that we can be really good friends".

Nimueh suspicious but delighted with the offer, she believed Prince to be a humble and kind gentleman, with a nod and sigh she said, "It would be an honour for me to be your friend my lord, but I quite dread the views of the King never accepting the friendship of a commoner and your highness".

Prince reached for Nimueh's hand and promised her with a confident aura, "I don't think so he will go against his son and the future King but if he will have that potential, trust me with your friendship and I will always be by your side. I clearly think that commoner and royals should have the same living rights".

Nimueh was clearly awed by the Prince's nobel personality and deep down she was fearing  the consequences it would held if she ever by mistake uttered her secret, she was anguished by the latter. So she said hesitantly, "W-was this yourrr wish fro-m me, that you asked for in the way to the cave?"

"Of course not Nimueh,  there is no compulsion in friendship, if you do not think of me worthy enough of your precious friendship I would not hold this topic in front of you anymore".

Nimueh's subconscious was clearly telling her to be cautious and reject it but she shut her off and listened to her heart.

"your highness, I am so blessed to have you as my friend, I cannot believe my own fate to be a friend of such bold and elite cast, I would try to help you in any matter if my low personality can do anything "She said submissively .

The Prince stated, "Oh no! From now me and you are having the same privilege and you will call me Merlin".

Nimueh not bickering forward so that Prince can't be displeased from her stuttered "OK M-m-erlinnn"

When they were going to talk Prince Morgana came by and suspected them to be in love. Morgana said smugly" Oh my brother,  looks like you have been accompanied by the most beautiful maiden".

Her brother softly and shyly replied, "Yes Morgana you are right on this statement ".
