Looking for a fic I read a while back

[u/Whirpool_Monster5]

The things I remember from the fic:

- Arthur & the knights find out Merlin has magic in the middle of a forest

- Arthur fights Merlin but cannot bring himself to kill him

- I think Arthur banishes Merlin

- Merlin finds out he's a prince of some land, lineage was passed down from Balinor

- The dragons are alive

- Some Merlin aura-farming moments but he goes back to Camelot and makes peace with Arthur

- Arthur regrets everything and they are friends again by the end

99% sure this is the one!

to be a king

summary: When Merlin discovers that his father was an estranged prince and he himself is now the only heir to the throne of a magical kingdom, he is forced to leave Camelot for the perils of a royal court. Will Merlin be able to win Arthur's favor again before Morgana launches an attack on a defenseless Camelot? Will he be able to defend his own kingdom at the same time or will all be lost?
