"Welcome! Sir Gawain and Sir Lancelot!" King Marsol smiled. "We hope your journey was well" said Queen Penelope. "Do you have the treaty?" Marsol asked. "Yes we do" they said and Lancelot handed it to them. "By the way Sir Gawain congratulations on the engagement" Penelope smiled. "I'm sorry? My engagement?" Gawain asked confused. "Yes your engagement to King Stolas (son Of Arthur) of Camelot" Marsol said. Gawain felt his heart sink and looks at Lancelot in fear. "I AM NOT ENGAGED TO THE KING! WHY WOULD THE KING ANNOUNCE SUCH A LIE?!" Gawain yelled clearly confused. "Wait so then why did we receive this invitation to the wedding two days after you return from your journey?" Penelope asked. "That's why he us away.... Or you away so he could plan out the wedding without you denying him...." Lancelot said in fear. "I'm stopping this I will not marry the king!" Gawain yelled heading out the door. Lancelot bows to the king and queen and follows Gawain. The two ride off and Gawain refuses to stop. His horse starts to slow down after 4 day ride. "Gawain! Please! Stop and let Ester rest! You will kill her from exhaustion." Lancelot pleaded. Gawain heeds to his request and let's his horse drink from the river. "I'm sorry Ester.... my fear has made me neglect your needs....." he said petting her main. Ester rubs her wet lips up on his cheek in forgiveness making him smile. They rest for a hour and start to ride again. After another day they made it home. Gawain wasted no time after placing his horse into the stables and bolted to the throne room Lancelot not far behind. "GAWAIN YOURE BACK THERES SOM-" "I already know Percival." Gawain said not stopping. He burst through the throne room doors where the king smiles seeing his soon to be bride. "Welcome back early my-" "WHY SPREAD THE LIE THAT I AM TO BE MARRIED TO YOU?! I REFUSE TO MARRY YOU!" Gawain demanded. "YOU WILL MARRY ME! Rather if you like it or not I am the king and what I command you will follow! But I guess for you I must give you a choice. Marry me or" he snaps his fingers and four guards grab Lancelot. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" He yelled. "I send your lover to the executioner" Gawain's eyes widen. "I heard your little confessions of love as you shared a bed." He grinned seeing the fear in Gawain's eyes.
"So choose Gawain marry me or send your lover to his death."
