Richard the Lionheart Page #3

on the Brittany coast.

They should arrive today,

but I have a bad feeling.

I don't trust King Louis.

He is up to something.

And if I know my

wife well enough,

ensconced in her

damned aquitaine,

the two of them will

already be plotting

my demise.

Sir, stop scribbling!

What I've said is

not official.

He has passed the

first torment.

Hmm.

Well, what he has faced

until now is nothing.

Gutta cavat lapidem.

The drop that cuts the Stone.

Well, I hope the

drop within him

digs as deep as possible.

All right, go now,

bring news of my men.

And send a message to

Henry immediately.

Richard must bend

to our will...

The only way for him to get

out of that accursed castle.

We must forge him...

Or we must kill him.

Gutta cavat lapidem.

Small

blooming flower,

today you may leave

your cares to others.

The animals of the audaces

have the perfect characteristics.

They must be swift

and poisonous as a serpent!

You have a gift

for saving lives,

for redeeming them.

It is so pure!

But what about you?

Silent and ferocious

as a tiger!

No orders today.

A pact, perhaps.

Strong and upright

as an elephant.

Your love is here,

isn't he?

He came here to save you,

didn't he?

As perceptive as a falcon,

his senses are more acute

than any other

living creature.

True love is a rare

and precious thing,

especially when it survives

among such walls as these.

No.

I would give you my blessing.

I bet he's your favorite.

I belong to the air.

I want you both to be free.

Yes, it's true!

But there's a small

price to pay.

- What?

- The companion of your love

must not survive the

second torment.

Make it happen, convince him

to find a solution and

you will both be free.

You forgot the last one.

Ah yes.

Is that all clear?

Above them all there

is one animal

that possesses all

the characteristics:

Strength, speed,

ferocity

and most importantly

intelligence.

That is why he is

known as the King.

Love cannot fail.

Do you hear that?

It's empty beneath

these boards.

Here, give me a hand.

Maybe... maybe out of this castle.

Maybe I don't want to escape.

Ha! I think we should

keep our options open.

- Maybe.

- Huh.

It goes a long way down.

I'm gonna see where it leads.

Hurry, someone is coming!

Ghaliya.

Ah.

Look what I've found.

Gutta cavat lapidem.

We have our drop.

No!

No no.

We had an agreement.

Do not disappoint me.

Help help!

Take my hand!

No no!

- Come on.

- Take my hand!

- No!

No!

Your majesty, I

beg your pardon,

A:

terrible threat is looming.

Three days ago the

count of Chester

mobilized his troops

to invade Brittany.

It seems as though he has

the support of King Louis,
