The Lovers is…Guinevere!

VI – The Lovers – Guinevere

Key Phrases – Temptation, commitment, being true to your values, making a choice.


Guinevere loved Arthur. Guinevere loved Lancelot.

Before, Lancelot had been banished from Camelot. But now he was back, and Gwen had to make a choice. The Prince or the Knight? She loved both dearly, and didn't want to lose either of them. Lancelot's gentle smile or Arthur's broad grin. Lancelot's unwavering virtue or Arthur's impeccable honour. It seemed like an impossible choice, but she knew that – deep inside – she had already chosen.

She descended the steps into the courtyard, running out to meet the returning patrol of knights. Both Arthur and Lancelot's faces lit up at her approach, but it was Arthur's embrace she went to. Lancelot may have been first, but the Prince had shown time and again how much he loved her, and Gwen couldn't imagine her life without him.

Her love for Lancelot would always be there, though. She just hoped they would one day be able to move on.
