"Lancelot, if I had stepped down—at the height of my kingdom's prosperity—perhaps the tragedy that followed, could have been avoided."
Saber's voice was soft, filled with a wistful sadness, as she looked at Lancelot.
Having witnessed Rider's bond with his Master, Waver, she'd begun to understand Haru's words. She, too, had once shared such a bond with her knights.
Lancelot, his movements stilled by her words, stared at her, his face a mask of shock. Even the Command Spell compelling him to attack seemed to falter.
"My king—why would you think such a thing?"
"I drew Excalibur to save my kingdom. And once the invaders were driven out my purpose was fulfilled."
Lancelot fell silent.
He couldn't argue with her.
He knew that all the Knights of the Round Table, drawn to her ideals, her unwavering devotion to her kingdom, had pledged their loyalty to her, their hearts filled with a shared dream of a unified, prosperous Britain.
