Chapter 14: The Harsh Lesson

"You want to what?!" The man in armor yelled, for once his calm and composed demeanor adorned by anger "Have you loss your minds?!"

He question this to crimson haired handsome that stood in front of them

The man do not show any reaction at his brother in all but blood enraged expression and he briefly spare glance at him. And he show nothing in response, just like him, he also do not show any emotion

And that seems enraging his Knight... No, former Knight to be precise. Even if his face not show it, but he know it very well, he can read his emotion as clear as day

There is no way the man in front of him will serve him further...

"With all respect Lancelot, I do not loss my mind." He replied to the Knight of the Lake stoically "As matter of fact, for the first time I serve our King, my mind opened."

On his side, Lancelot clench his fist, the gauntlet that clad his hand groaned in protest under pressure of his strength "Why Tristan?" He asked, no demanded to his fellow Knight

Tristan glanced at Lancelot, his eyes peering over the wielder of Arondight before shifted to him and he bowed his head

"In my whole life... I can say without doubt serving Your Majesty is the greatest honor and glory." He said, voice solemn and calm

"Then why?" Lancelot asked "If you say that then why you still..."

"Because life is not only about honor." Tristan answered, his eyes meet Lancelot's "Honor is great, and as Knight of Round Table I know that, it was our foundation after all. But it is foundation of being Knight, not Human."

While Lancelot seems struck by those words but he did not, because he already expect such thing in first place

Tristan turned to him this time, and then he bow his head respectfully "You fight majestically and gracefully in battlefield, and none can oppose you, you had lead us in countless battle but never once we know defeat, even in face of Vortigern, where everything seems loss but you, proved to be able create Miracle and bring victorious to us. And I won't hesitate to admit in my whole life there is no greater achievement than that."

The battle with Vortigern... He know well what he mean... That battle was close one, very, very close. As matter of fact, just like Tristan said, he, himself sure they won that battle because of Miracle.

"And not just stopped in there, even right now when this country in duress but never once you show weakness, you manage to balance everything without any deviations, you punished people without a single mistake, in a sense you are perfect."

"And what is wrong with that?" Lancelot asked the crimson haired man "Isn't that a good thing? It prove that King Arthur to be a good King, showing that he not just unmatched in battlefield but handling matter like this."

"Indeed, what you said is true Lancelot." Tristain nodded in agreement "But tell me, my friend..." His eyes focused back to the Knight of the Lake "Have you ever seen our King grief?"

Lancelot blinked, face showing taken back expression "Wha?"

"As matter of fact..." Tristan turned back to him "Are you even capable to feel grief, Your Majesty?"

He close his eyes, grief. He can feel it of course. He not a machine, he not some kind of puppet, he is Human being, so of course he can feel that emotion

But he not allowed to... For to become perfect King, one cannot be a Human, and to save his Kingdom, he have to become perfect King

He reopen his eyes, scanning the red haired man with impassive face "There is nothing else to say. I do what the best for Britain, and I get what you trying to say Sir Tristan." He responded to his words in stoic voice
