My father and all of the people in the Kingdom of Logres think I am evil. However, my father has made me evil, because he never cared for me as a father should. The king is truely evil for never noticing all of the things I do to please him. He is a fool!
Years before I captured Queen Guinevere, I would try to prove myself to my father by battling the most skilled knights in the kingdom and courting only the loveliest ladies in court. My distant father never noticed the things that I did to prove to him that I would be a great king one day.
Now, I hate my father, and I will do everything I can to go against his wishes. When I captured the queen, I thought my father would finally respect me, but he continues to doubt me and favors another knight who has come to take the lovey queen away from me. How could a father refuse to be loyal to his son? My father wants me to return the queen to the knight, but I would rather die in battle before she is returned.
During the battle, I fight furiously to prove to my father that I am a better warrior than Lancelot. However, I overhear my father begging the queen to restrain Lancelot, and I am deeply embarrassed. When Lancelot stops fighting, I continue to fight to ease my humiliation. After my father begs, I put down my sword and stop fighting regretfully. In this moment, I feel nothing but shame. I have lost the queen! However, Lancelot agrees to battle me again which brings me joy. Until the day we fight again, I will practice my skills so that I can win back my pride and the respect of my father.
