Without Merlin and Guinevere to guide his way, Arthur married Elaina and fulfilled his duty to his father and his kingdom. Eight years later, he finds himself the king raising a little princess on his own. When his daughter needs a governess, he hires Lady Guinevere who brings along a companion. No longer duty bound in marriage, will Arthur allow himself to get close to Merlin?

When Merlin literally runs into Arthur at a cafe, dumping coffee down both of them he expects that to be the end of that. But when Merlin and his best friend Gwen start looking for ways to keep him in the UK, Arthur offers a way. When two years are up, will they go their own ways or will they find their forever?
