"Christine-"
"Get out."
"Christine, please-"
"No! You used me Erik." Tears were forming in Christine's eyes.
"Christine, it was all a lie, I swear." Erik pleaded.
Christine looked down at the floor and said nothing.
"Christine, you know me! You know I would never do that to you!"
Christine said nothing for a moment. "You have to believe me, Christine, please."
She looked up at him. For the first time Christine noticed something.
"Erik,"
"Yes?"
"Why have I never seen your face before?"
Erik froze.
"Please Christine anything but that."
"Erik, if you truly love me as I love you then you have nothing to fear. If you don't show me I know you don't love me."
Erik looked down at her fearfully. The moment their eyes met he knew she was serious. He took a deep breath and slowly removed the mask.
"Alright, now you all know the plan." Mordred said to his knights. They nodded.
Excellent, Mordred thought. Soon Raoul will fall and Camelot will be mine!
His face was scarred deeply and unevenly across the right half of his face. And, what looked like raised scar tissue ran right next to his ear. Christine gasped slightly. Erik closed his eyes and felt a tear roll down his cheek.
"Erik…look at me." Christine said softly. Erik opened his eyes. Christine was smiling up at him.
"Christine how can you-" Christine pressing her lips against his cutting him off. He kissed her back and tightened his arms around her waist. Christine's arms snaked around his neck as if of their own accord.
Suddenly the door burst open. The two of them jumped apart. Several knights surrounded them.
A moment Mordred stepped into the room.
"In the name of the king I'm arresting both of you for high treason."
