User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/Why Merlin/Mithian would just be a repeat of Arthur/Gwen/@comment-173.61.19.15-20130130173923

That`s an interesting fan essay. If I were going to pick someone for Merlin to be with then it would be Freya first and foremost. I think I understand why the writers chose not to go the romantic route with Merlin and Morgana because it would probably complicate things later on when she turns evil. Plus Uther would obviously  never approve of them. This more so than the Merlin and Mithian pairing would prove to be more repetitive when compared to Arthur and Gwen`s relationship.

As for Merlin and Sefa, I thought they were adorable. It was nice to see Merlin become attracted to a young woman that didn`t have magic. I never thought that Merlin and Mithian were going to become an item anyway. However if they did then I wouldn`t have been against the idea. King Rodor is nothing like Uther. Also Mithian and Merlin have more than just class differences  keeping them apart. There is destiny and distance as well. Merlin was very caring toward her. There`s an obvious sense of trust and respect that wasn`t there before. I guess we can assume that the two met during the three year time skip and made amends for the events in The Hunter`s Heart.
