Let
me get this straight… The lady I love, my queen Guinevere was taken by
Melegant. How on earth is that possible? I just found out that Lancelot has
already set off on his journey to find her and bring her back. Most people
wonder how I come to know most things that I know, but they fail to recognize
the fact that Gawain although my half-brother is still family and tells me what
he is involved with. It saddens me to hear that Guinevere was taken, but I
can’t tell if I am more upset about the fact that King Arthur sits back and
lets this happen. Why? I ask what would stop anyone from rescuing their beloved
one? It is his wife and queen yet Lancelot is going to her rescue. I guess that
makes sense… She is my queen and I love her to the point where I want her to be
mine. It is clear that King Arthur is unworthy of her solely because of his
actions during this whole ordeal. I would have jumped at the chance for my
queen to acknowledge my true love for her. Lancelot must have a similar idea as
me… For I wish to have been the one who set out on the journey to bring our
queen home. If I were in King Arthur’s position none of this would have
happened.
The first question that comes to mind is why would he
ever trust a knight let alone anybody that wishes to no longer associate
himself with you and wishes to leave you with your wife and queen. That raises
a few concerns to me… Another thing that absolutely disgusted me was the fact
that King Arthur had her beg another man not only did she beg she was also
asked to get down on her hands and knees and bow down to the feet of Kay. Who
in the hell is Kay to be so deserving of such treatment from my queen?
One thing that concerns me is that I have put some
thought into it and it is too coincidental that Lancelot and Guinevere have
been disappearing for immense amount of times over the past few weeks. I already have to take care of King Arthur in
order to get what I want, but now competing with Lancelot is going to be a
challenge. This is absurd
I’ll get her someday (#TheyForEverybody –juicy j)

My son (or nephew, depending on whom your ask!), I admire your perseverance. Don't let obstacles like other people's morality stand in your way! Be true to the path you have set for yourself. Greatness is a matter of perception.
