"Arthur's Quest" going on nicely. Lancelot didn't fail the test, but taht doesn't mean that his problems are over. Far from that.
Excerpt: Lancelot shook his head. “I cannot do that to Elena. She deserves better.”
The Dame Brisen let out an impatient sigh. “How can you be so brick-headed? She doesn’t want something better. She wants you, and she does not care who else she might have to share your heart with.”
“It would be wrong, “insisted Lancelot, and the enchantress rolled her eyes.
“You are a stubborn fool. Despite your outlandish ideals, though, you should remember one thing: Princess Elena is carrying your child, a child of a prophecy. As you may never sire another heir, obsessed as you are with your future Queen, you are responsible for that child. Not only because it may be the only one carrying on your line – you will be responsible for it to fulfil its destiny.”
Lancelot found that he began to understand why Merlin seemed to hate that word so much.
