I fully believe Merlin (assuming he saved Arthur at Avalon) wouldn't become a court sorcerer or anything. Like, yeah, he's the magic expert, but the unofficial one. Merlin feels he was born to serve Arthur, and I don't think Arthur knowing his magic would stop that.
#^This#say it louder for the people in the back op#merlin was born for Arthur#and multiple times throughout the show he tells arthur that he was 1 born to serve arthur or 2 is happy to do so#he likes serving Arthur#and i don't think he would want his position to change for multiple reasons#he loves the closeness afforded to him and arthur that came about as a result of the position#he can constantly be around Arthur and it not be weird (this is both important for protecting arthur and for personal reasons)#he would constantly be overlooked (again important for protecting Arthur)#this plus a multitude of other reasons is whyerlin would not want to be the official court sorcerer#my own opinion but yeah#i just feel like theres no way in hell hed stop being arthurs servant#hell complain some days but he wouldnt change it for the world#tiwtr-vc#bbc merlin#the adventures of merlin#merlin bbc#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#bbc arthur#arthur bbc
