Summary
Aphrodite had foreseen Paris' triumph – her triumph, in truth. The moment his eyes would fall upon Helen of Sparta, he would understand: this was the reward for his devotion, this was the woman the gods themselves had deemed worthy of a prince so favoured.
She had not foreseen his rejection.
Had not expected him to turn away from the prize she had laid before him, to spurn the very woman he had once coveted with all his heart.
Nor had she anticipated that his desire would stray – not to another queen, most certainly not to Helen’s own cousin.
Penelope of Sparta.
(Or, after coming across a portrait of Penelope during his time in Sparta, Paris of Troy switches his kidnapping victim from Helen to Penelope. This proves far more detrimental than anyone could have imagined - a spark burning so bright that even the Gods on Olympus are caught in its flames.)

Summary
Merlin is lying about who he is (warlock, alpha) so he won't lose his head. Arthur is lying about who he is (omega) so he can make his father proud and inherit his crown. Even Morgana is lying and hoping that the lies will bring her happiness at last.
Is the joy of being seen worth the pain of unraveling the lies?

Summary
Later, Merlin would reflect that it was probably Gwen’s presence that saved his life. Or —because there was some part of him that wanted to believe Arthur could never kill him— saved him from eternal banishment.
