King sonic X Sir lancelot: chapter 4
I had to wake up early ever since i had galahad. My breasts had stayed even after i had stopped breastfeeding galahad. I asked my mother why and she said that i should've gotten rid of them by now, but it could be that i had this default that i couldn't stop producing milk in them. I guess it meant that i would be leaving for a nearby village.
2 years had passed by and me and galahad left for the nearest village. I rode the horse the king send off with me towards it and soon arrived. Poeple were staring at me when i walked past them. It probably wasn't often that they saw a mother and his 2 year old son pass by alone without a husband. I was later offered a place to stay at a local inn and a job.
A year had passed and galahad was 3 years old and playing with some friends outside. In the beginning of our stay here, i was often asked where my husband was. I lied and told them that he died during a battle when the village was being over run. They all believed me and some of the mothers in the village helped me since they knew that i was a single mother.
I heard my son yell in panic and i ran outside to see what was happening. I saw some barbarians over run the village and i took a nearby sword. With one swing i slayed someone of off his horse as he tried to take galahad. I swinged it again and hit someone else. Poeple were surprised to see me so good with a sword. They weren't the only ones to be surprised. After all this time i was surprised i still had the touch of swordsmanship. I thought i had lost it after not touching a single blade after so long, but here i was. Slaying barbarians here and there like i had slept with a sword this whole time.
As one of those barbarians came my way to make an end to my slaying someone had swinged the sword before i could. I looked at the one who saved me and was surprised to see sir gawain and sir percival. I was shocked at see them as they were shocked to see me. In a dress that is. "sir lancelot?" Sir percival whispered and reached a hand forward to me. But a crowd of poeple started to surround them. I saw sir percival trying to look beyond the crowd searching for me as i took galahad's hand and walked back home.
Some time passed and i heard my door open as i tended to galahad's wounds. I knew who it was, but i didn't want to face them. I was a bit emberrased by how i was dressed. I can't deny the fact that i had changed alot in these three years. "nice place you have here." Sir gawain said and caught galahad's attention. "look mommy! king sonic's knights!" Galahad said and pointed happily towards sir gawain and sir percival. They looked confused. They must be thinking that i had told galahad that i was a knight once to.
Evening soon arrived and i had offered them to stay for the night, like any good host would do. Galahad went to sleep and i watched sir percival and sir gawain sit on a chair while they watched me. "you've changed." Sir percival began to interupt the silence. "you didn't believe i would stay the same after all this time." I replied and started to clean up what was left of dinner. Sir percival stood up and helped me. She looked a bit guilty. "i can handle this on my own, sir percival." I said to stop her from helping me. "but, sir lancelot." Sir gawain started to rais a point as he took sir percival's side. "i'm not sir lancelot! i'm a lowly peasant now who left the chivarly of a knight and i go by the name shadow." I said as i got annoyed. I got annoyed very easily. "shadow? you're name is lancelot. and you deserve the sir in fornt of it." Sir percival said and gathered the dishes. "it's shadow! i adopted that name because i want to leave my past as a knight behind. and i'm doing so weither you want it or not!" I said grabbing the plates roughly from sir percival away and walked into the kitchen and washed them. Sir percival and sir gawain sighed in defeat and left me be.
I finished washing the dishes and noticed that Sir percival and Sir gawain had left to go to sleep. I sighed and sat down on a chair. I stroked my temples. The reason i had put my past behind me was because i couldn't bare to face the king as a knight anymore. Not even as a lowly peasant. I rested my head on my hands and cried softly.
