King sonic X Sir lancelot: chapter 9
Me and galahad arrived back at the castle and i was sended towards the hospital wing to have my wounds taken care of.
Some days passed and galahad was knighted aswell because apparently he had been fighting in that village aswell, much to my dislike. But i was proud of him anyway. Which mother wouldn't be?
In the present i was smilling at that memory. I was so proud when i saw my little boy becoming Sir galahad. It has been 3 years since that day. 3 years that he had been helping me, sir percival and sir gawain. Thinking about that made me even more proud of him.
I heard a knocking on my door and i stood up and wiped my tears away from my face and opened the door. And a saw a maid standing there. She told me that dinner was ready. So i walked out of the room and towards the dining room.
At dinner i heard my king, sir percival, sir gawain and sir galahad talking about an upcoming ball. And of course like with other upcoming events i didn't know anything about it till the day before the actuall event. I asked question about the ball to find out what exactly it was for. The king didn't say a reason what the ball was for, but he did explain what was going to happen on that ball. Apparently the king was going to give a very important speech during the ball. I asked what it was about, but no one answered that question. Only galahad's grin and glint in his eyes made sure that it was about me. I had a bad feeling about the ball, but because i was so close to the king i was forced to go to it. I sighed and got up from the table and walked towards my room to get some sleep.
The next morning soon came and when i woke up and walked down the hallway i saw maids and servants decorating the place for this evening's ball. I wasn't really looking forward to it. I didn't like attending to balls. But i guess that there was no way to escape it. I sighed at that thought.
Evening soon arrived as did the ball. I sighed as my personal maids helped me dress up for ball. My personall maids were the only maids in the whole castle who knew about my breasts. I was glad that they knew. It was easier that way for when i was having problems in that particular area and they knew ways to keep them hidden if i had to wear anything else then my armor. Once i was properly dressed i walked out towards the ballroom.
The ball had started and everyone was talking and dancing. I was sitting at the side on a chair. i didn't really like getting involved with balls, so i tried to stay out of sight.
Some hours had passed and it was already a few minutes before midnight. Everyone was still dancing and they didn't seem like they would be stopping anytime soon. My eye lids, however, were slipping closed. I guess sitting down for hours was making me tired. I put my hand in front of my face as i yawned.
We all heard the bell of the church outside making us know that it was precisely midnight now. I was considering of going to bed, but i shoved that thought away as the king was about to do his speech. I was still wondering what this supposed speech was about, though.
The king drew everyone's attention towards him to start his speech. "my dear friends." He started. "there is nothing making me more honored then being the king of such good poeple like you." He added before pausing a little. "but just like you, i have sins aswell. my greatest sin is that i betrayed the love of my life." He said and turned his gaze towards me. In reaction some looked at me aswell. "i left him to fend for himself when he needed my help the most. and now, there's nothing i can say that is good enough. I know that after such a long time that i'm not worth of forgiveness and i'm not asking to be forgiven. But i want lancelot to know that he is one of the bravest knights to ever fight for this kingdom, that there is no better mother then him." He said and paused again drew a loving geniune smile on his face. Now everyone was looking at me. "and most important of all...that i haven't stopped loving him with all my heart during this whole time." He added and now poeple were either weirded out or just smilling so emotionally at both me and the king.
I hadn't noticed him walking towards me if he didn't start talking to me when he stood in front of me. "shadow." He started by using my adopted name. "will you give me one last chance and become my queen?" He said and outstretched his hand towards me.
I didn't know what happened after that. all i knew was that i fainted right after he said that.
