"She will send him to me, and I shall take him out of the King's reach, and keep him and teach him all that Galapas taught me, and Ambrosius, and you, even Belasius. He will be the sum of our lives, and when he is grown he will come back and be crowned King at Winchester." (V.10.69)
Merlin feels hugely responsible for Cadal's impending death, so he makes sure to let him know how his friend's life will matter for the health of Britain. Merlin shows his concern and love for his friend by acknowledging how much he's learned from him, and he gives him the promise of glory: he's going to teach the young King Arthur Cadal's wisdom.
