First Knight Page #4

- She's yours.|- She's beautiful.

Peter thinks|she's not suitable for a lady.

- I would have chosen her myself.|- I know.

- How do you know?|- Remember when you joined our hunt?

- You were fearless.|- My father's word was "reckless".

He was always sparing with praise.

Come.

- We could almost be alone here.|- Do you have secrets to tell me?

No. No secrets.|Just a question to ask.

Do you want to marry me?

You don't have to marry me|because your father wanted it.

Camelot will protect Leonesse,|whether you marry me or not.

Thank you.

You don't know what it means to me|to hear you say that.

Do you want to be released|from the engagement?

No. I want to marry you.

Not your crown or your army|or your golden city. Just you.

- Just me?|- Yes. If you love me.

- Do you remember this?|- You hurt it in the hunt.

- I didn't think you'd get a scar.|- Just a scratch.

You wiped the blood away|with a sleeve of your dress.

The sleeve still carries the stain.

I never thought until then how sweet|it must be to be loved by one woman.

And for the first time in my life,|I wanted ...

- What?|- What wise men say doesn't last.

What cannot be promised, or made|to linger any more than sunlight.

But I don't want to die. without|having felt its warmth on my face.

Marry the King, Guinevere,|but love the man.

I only know one way to Love.

And that is body ... and heart ...|and soul.

I kiss the hurt|that brought me your love.

Try her.

- Shall I fetch a lady's saddle?|- No need.

- She's a rare beauty, sire.|- Yes. she is.

So is the mare.

May God grant us the wisdom|to discover the right, -

- and the strength|to make it endure.

As you all know,|I am soon to be married.

- And about time. too.|- Hear!

We have had our share of war.|Now, I look forward to quieter days.

But first, admit our guest.

- Malagant ...|- Malagant is here at my invitation.

May I congratulate the King|on his forthcoming marriage.

I see my place|hasn't been taken yet.

- I was first among your knights.|- You left of your own free will.

We each of us|must follow our own road.

Where does your road take you?|To Leonesse?

Leonesse is my neighbor. I offered|the lady a treaty of friendship.

- Is burning villages friendship?|- Yes, My Lady ...

Your land is becoming lawless.|Were you not just attacked?

- You know who attacked me.|- I made it my business to know.

- Justice has been done.|- You know no law above yourself!

"Armed forces to be given access|to all Leonesse."

"Troops to assist in the enforcement|of law ... in all Leonesse."

- Do you want to sign this?|- I'll never sign it.

She's very brave ...|now she's to be married.

- Will Camelot protect Leonesse?|- Is Leonesse in need of protection?
