Chapter Text
"You - you are the worst of them all. Cruel as it was, Uther and Arthur were doing what they believed was right..."
"So did I" he said, quietly.
"You're a hypocrite" she spited, angry. "You turned your back on our kind..."
"Not all of our kind wants the same thing."
"It's our kind, Merlin, and you treated me like a monster. You lied and used me, you tried to kill me and you pushed me further away from where you stood than anyone else. This is your doing as well... Emrys"
"I wish it had been different" he pleaded, clearly broken. "I wish I had done things different. And I was sorry - so sorry - I never wanted to... I was sorry even as I did it."
"... Yeah. Sorry doesn't turn back time. You had your chances, even after that. You could have, yet, you did not. And that's what matters. Your noble intentions weren't enough then and they aren't enough now. So stop pretending and do what you came here to do."
