Prince Valiant Page #5

- I only wish I had.

- I was sure you were in for trouble.

Only the trouble

of searching everywhere for you.

I'm afraid that you have the gift

of encountering things

that no one else can find.

I can't make out

why they only came after me.

They must have seen you.

From cover, perhaps,

and recognised me.

My lance is feared, Val.

The important thing is that you got away.

For that we must be grateful.

We'll take no more chances. I'm waiting

here until you're well enough to travel.

Just what I was going to propose,

Sir Brack. You're more than welcome.

Thank you, sire.

And now I think that this young hothead

has had enough excitement.

The more rest he gets,

the sooner we'll be on our way.

Quite right. Come, Sir Brack.

You must give me all the news of Camelot.

Gladly.

King Arthur has invited us

to see the tournament.

I hope we shall see much of you there.

Aleta!

It's been a long hour waiting.

I had difficulty in getting away

from Sir Brack.

Well, I'm beginning

not to like him.

Forget it.

I'm just jealous.

- I like it.

- Well, I don't.

Ever since he's arrived,

all I get from you is stolen moments.

But wait till we get to Camelot.

Then you'll give me all your time.

Oh, gladly.

It's not only Sir Brack.

It's Father.

He's watching me

like a hawk.

Look. Ilene is standing guard.

She'll whistle

if she sees anyone coming.

Why does she always keep asking me

about Sir Gawain?

She's in love with him.

Sir Gawain?

Oh, I really shouldn't tell you.

It's her secret.

Well, you see, Father took her to Camelot

the year Sir Gawain won the tournament.

She was just

at that romantic age

and she fell

in love with him.

Never got over it.

She vows she'll never

marry another man.

And he doesn't know

a thing about it?

Wouldn't it be dreadful

if he were in love with another?

My knight?

All he loves is a good fight.

Then you must help them

at Camelot.

She'd be broken-hearted

if her dream didn't come true.

Promise me you'll help them.

What do you want me to do?

Propose for him?

Oh, I'm afraid that's one thing

you don't know how to do,

not for yourself, anyway.

Are you afraid of Father,

or... or are you just trifling?

Well, I can't say what I want to.

- Not yet.

- Why not?

It's not only your father.

It's me. It's my father.

I have a vow to fulfil

before I can think of anything else.

Will you wear this?

Put it on.

No, no, no.

Aleta!

What are you doing here?

Well, I came out looking for Ilene

and found Prince Valiant

sunning himself.

There's nothing like sun

to cure an illness, Val.

There's more colour

in your face today.

I thought from my daughter's report

that you were still an invalid.
