Sonadow-A Knight's Love

Chapter 6-The End Of Our Story

Sonic was on the horse, clearly dead. Lancelot's eyes widened, tears started to flow down his cheeks... and he fell to his knees. Everyone walked past him exept Sir Percival. 

"King Infinite killed him. Your name was his last word." She told him. 

"I loved him... why... he... Percival come with me." Lancelot said taking her arm. He took her to Sonic's room and closed the door. 

"What is this about?" She asked. 

"It was... my fault. I caused the war. Sonic needed help with his duties, so I decided to do them for him. I was so mad at one meeting that I declared war upon the kingdom. I told them that it was Sonic's command." He explained. 

Sir Percival's eyes widened and she started to cry, silently, head down. 

"Perc-" Lancelot was stopped by her hand gesturing him to stand back and stop talking. She looked up at him, she had sort of a sarcastic, insane smile. 

"This is why. This is why I knew. This is why I knew not to say anything. This is why I knew not to say anything about my love for Sonic. I loved him, but of course I couldn't tell him. I knew loving another knight or the king would never turn out well. I didn't tell him so I could protect myself and him. I was respectful and put my feelings aside so he would be safe, so neither of us would be heartbroken when one left, but love doesn't listen. I loved him, even when you came in. You didn't hesitate to get close to the king. You probably didn't think about what would happen if he or you died in battle! You didn't think it through! I-" "I loved him and he loved me! I went with it! LOVE IS LOVE OKAY?!" Lancelot interrupted. 

"'Love is love'? Do you understand what you're saying? I loved him, more then anything else in the world. Then you got close and loved him faster than you could say 'Camelot'. You guys were a thing... you don't understand how much that crushed me. I had loved him since he saved me from that cliff, then he just picks you because you didn't think. I worked harder than I ever had before to show him what I could do, that I am more then just the girl on the team. While you took your vacations, and he treated you like royalty. You were nothing but the teachers pet, but I stood by. I knew that my king was happy, I knew I couldn't do anything. Tell me, what could I have done? Then... I had to watch him die and what did he say? You, everything was you. He didn't acknowledge out hard work that we had done while you were getting babied. While you two were having a big fancy dinner, I walked past you guys and you didn't notice. I was half dead, I was bleeding... and calling for help, but I wasn't loud enough. The king didn't care about me, he didn't care about the others either. We were working hard, sweating blood and tears non stop, and who does he reward? The one who helped him for one day explaining things." 

"You're just jealous?" Lancelot asked crossing his arms.      

"NO! I LOVED SONIC MORE THAN ANYTHING IN MY LIFE. I LET HIM HAVE HIS HAPPINESS OVER MINE! THEN YOU HAD TO MAKE THE MOST STUPID DECISION THAT TOOK HIM AWAY FROM BOTH OF US! YOUR DECISION TOOK HIM AWAY FROM EVERYONE, NOT JUST YOU! I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" Percival yelled before she went out and slammed the door on him. 

Lancelot fell on his knees crying. She was right, this was all his fault. He went through Sonic's room, looking for something he may have left behind. Something, ANYTHING! Then he looked in a drawer and found a note, it read,

Dear Lancelot. 
         If you are reading this, I have probably died in the fight. I have hope that no one else has died. You shall receive no punishment for what you did. What I'm making you go through is probably bad enough. Don't be so hard on yourself. Yes you made a big mistake, but everyone does. Others may consider yourself the villain in my history if they find out, but you need to prove them wrong. I want you to figure out how. Please don't waste your time sulking about my death. Keep moving forward. I hope that you make the next king very proud. I know you did for me, from all of the good times that we shared. Just know, till the very end, I loved you no matter what. Sayonara, Sir Lancelot.  
                                                                                                                                                         -Sonic   

Lancelot folded the note and walked to the balcony. Then... he smiled. They looked up at the night sky, that was filled with stars. He knew that Sonic was up there, watching over him. 

The others found out, and they were all pretty salty about it, especially Percival, but they didn't kick him out of the of the round table group. They sometimes verbally harassed him, but never physically. Even with all of that, Lancelot didn't waste his time on tears. he made sure everyone knew about King Sonic. He went to visit homeless children, he gave them food and shelter sometimes, because he knew that's what Sonic would have done. He told them about King Sonic and made sure not to leave out any details. (Except for the fact they were in love). Sure Sonic wasn't king for very long, and he didn't do many king duties, it wasn't about that. It was mostly about what a king he could have been. He had the perfect personality for a king. Kindness, bravery, courage, and everything else expected from a king. It went on for a year, until one day.    

Sir. Percival was in the garden where Sonic was buried near a tree. She was standing at his grave. Lancelot walked over to it and stood next to her. He could hear her crying a bit more. 

"I'm sorry." Lancelot muttered under his breath. 

Then... Percival took his hand. 

"I... can't hold a grudge against you forever. You have made up for your mistakes, I see that now. You have truly proven that you are a good knight. I forgive you Lancelot." Percival said. 

Lancelot hugged her tightly. 

"Thank you." He whispered.
