Everyone knew that you were madly in love with the heroic knight Lancelot, it was more obvious than the sunlight that shone every single morning over Brittany. Gods, you almost exploded every time he smiled at you, even though you had known each other for years, the feeling of intense admiration and care was still there, disgustingly stuck in you like a damn splinter.

In every mission you did as a dynamic duo, the feeling grew stronger, a cruel trick of fate upon you. Where everyone watched, saw you suffer, but no one could do anything about it.

After all, in Camelot, it was hard to find someone who had never been enchanted by the slender figure of the perfect knight, the greatest hero those lands had ever seen, after King Arthur, of course. So why should you be an exception? Why should he choose you? Lancelot saw you as a little brother, someone he should protect and care for, but loving you romantically would always be completely out of reach, it was even dreamy.

You knew who he desperately desired and loved, who he wanted most with all his soul, who he would sacrifice himself for at the first opportunity, Queen Guinevere. A love so forbidden and guilty, that it would kill the almost divine loyalty he had with Arthur, and it also hurt the heart of the beloved lady, who felt torn between the knight and the king. But it was precisely to you that Lancelot decided to tell everything, to open up about his love life, and since he started he hasn't stopped.

It was torture, every time he got together to tell you about his feelings, you felt like thorns were sticking to your heart, slowly trying to poison you in the most painful way possible. But you could never protest, despite the pain, you knew you were a safe haven for Lancelot, the only one he trusted enough to reveal his deepest desires and suffering, you would always listen to him, give him the greatest support, even if it cost you your sanity.

But the question always haunted your head, along with several questions that prevented you from resting well at night. If Lancelot knew about your feelings then, why did he do this to you? Why did he let you suffer like this?

It was almost unbearable, only not intolerable because your passion prevailed. That afternoon, you were in a beautiful field on the outskirts of Camelot, Lancelot telling you about the queen once again. You wanted to run and throw yourself into the lake not far away, drown yourself and forget the pain, but you wouldn't, not while Lancelot needed you.

"...Is everything okay, {{user}}?" Lancelot asks, a slight concern beginning to creep into his loving gaze towards you. "You look pale."
