Although it
is betrayal in the highest form, Lancelot and Guinevere’s love for each other
is what many people long for. I, Uther Pendragon, had love with my wife, Igerna,
but it was out of deceit. I am quite certain that she never realized it was me
who lay with her that fateful night of Arthur’s conception. It was only after
her husband was murdered, by me nonetheless, that she was mine. What Lancelot
and Guinevere have is real.
From the
moment Lancelot saw Guinevere, he knew she was the one for him. She also knew
that she was married to King Arthur, my son, but that did not stop him.
Guinevere even returned Lancelot’s feelings, and the two embarked on one of the
most famous love betrayals of all time – the notorious love-triangle between
Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot.
Lancelot
and Guinevere loved each other selflessly. This is shown when she tells him to
show her that he loves her by losing the battle and submitting, and once he
does, she realizes just how strong his love for her is and tells him to defeat
the opponents and not lose. Although I do love my son dearly, I know that
Guinevere and Lancelot should be together.
A love like that only comes around
once in a century, and when you find it you have to go for it. It might not
always be love at first, but if it develops into something more than in the
long run. Just look at my lovely wife and I. At first she did not return my
affections, but she does now. Could it be because her previous husband died and
she wants to only be with a king? Because she got pregnant? Or even that she is
just lying to me but does not want me to know? Who cares, because I got the
girl.
What I am
really trying to say is that I, Uther Pendragon, am jealous of the love shared
between Lancelot and Guinevere. Yes, I of all people am jealous. Who wouldn’t
be? I am definitely a shipper of #Lancevere

I admire your frank comments King Pendragon. Not everyone has the courage to admit deceitfulness. However, perhaps your own shady past makes you more open-minded about Lancelot and Guinevere. I agree that Lancelot and his queen seem to be genuinely in love. But what about your son? He has been betrayed just like your wife's first husband. Is your love for Arthur not strong enough to hate the hurt he will suffer should he ever find out? Do you think that Lancelot and Guinevere should pay for their sin?
ReplyDeleteQuite Frankly King Uther, I think you may be just as bad as Lancelot himself. It seems to me that you two have no real concepts of boundaries. I understand what you are saying about this whole "true love" thing and all but didn't it ever cross your mind that if your lover truly loved you back, she would not have to be blinded by your appearance, or better yet.. Maybe she would have married you instead of her first husband. Oops, sorry. I don't mean to be rude but I guess it just comes out that way. What I'm trying to say is you and Lancelot are not chivalrous at all. Get your head on straight before someone chops it off...Guinevere is a cheater.

Deceitfulness you had indeed to seduce me, to where though I grew to love you it was a realtionship to avoid shame. However I must agree that feelings like theirs do not come around often or for just anybody, and though you may be jealous of thier feelings thier situation is one not to be desired. For what kind of life would it be to have to hide who you love. Our son, if this got out, would be shamed and betrayed by his own friend. Would you wish that upon someone?
