Summary

After the quest of Sangreal was fulfilled, all the knights that were still alive came back to the Round Table.  King Arthur and Queen Guinevere were especially happy about their homecoming.

The whole time Sir Lancelot was on the quest he was thinking about Guinevere.  When he returned, he resumed his affair with Queen Guinevere even though he had made a promise of perfection on his quest.  Everyone in the court was starting to notice and gossip about the affair, especially Sir Agravaine because he had a big mouth.

There were many women who were attracted to Sir Lancelot, but Sir Lancelot only wanted Guinevere.  Because of the rumors, Sir Lancelot had to stay away from the Queen so people would stop gossiping. 

One day, Queen Guinevere called Sir Lancelot into her room and questioned him about why he was avoiding her.  She was scared that his love for her was fading, and she wondered why he didn’t act happy when he was around her.

Sir Lancelot apologized to the Queen and explained the importance of his quest for the Sangreal.  He also said that many people in the court were speaking of their affair, but he still loved her.  He told her that he was worried more about her than he was about himself.  Sir Lancelot said that he may be able to escape, but the Queen would have to stay there and take the criticism and face the consequences.  He told her that he did not want to see her dishonored.
