Love Between a King and his Knight.

Chapter 5

When I woke up the next morning I heard my son's laughter echoing through the house. I stood up and walked towards the laughter. I walked through the door and saw sir Gawain acting playfully with Galahad. Sir Percival was here as well, but she was obviously waiting for me to wake up. "Goodmorning, sir Lancelot." Sir Percival said much to my dislike. "Sir Lancelot? mommy, are you a knight?" My son asked with a surprised look on his face, who could blame him for being surprised to hear that his mother was a knight? "I used to be." I said and walked into the kitchen to start breakfast. "Used to be? Why aren't you a knight anymore, mommy?" Galahad asked and followed me into the kitchen. "Because it was to hard to stay as a knight." I replied as I made dinner. "Why was it too hard?" Galahad asked me again. "Because it just was." I said and sighed in annoyence. "But mommy..." Galahad started, but never got to finish his sentence as I cut him off. "But nothing Galahad! Stop this questioning!" I yelled and shocked both my son and my friends. "I apologize. I lost my temper." I sighed and went to my knees and hugged the silver hedgehog standing by me. "It's okay, mommy." Galahad said with a smile and hugged back tightly.

Sometime after breakfast and after I had dressed up I was doing the laundry and heard a sigh escaping both sir Percival's and sir Gawain's mouth. I sighed in annoyence as well. They just couldn't get over the fact that I wasn't going to be a knight anymore. "Please get over it. You'll be to dissapointed once you realize that I won't be coming back to camelot." I said as I felt a tear gather in the corner of my eye. "Don't you miss it?" Sir Gawain asked me as both he and sir Percival kept watching me. "No i don't! Not at all!" I said in response. "Are you sure that you're not lieing to yourself?" He asked and I couldn't help but stop and think about it. It was true, I missed being a knight. I missed helping poeple. I missed the heroism. I missed the chivalry. And I missed working for my king, Sonic.

I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder and looked behind me to see that it was sir Percival. "Are you completely honest with yourself that this is what you want, Shadow?" She asked and I couldn't help but shake my head. She wrapped her arms around me and I returned the embrace.

I found myself on my horse's back with Galahad sitting in front of me and sir Percival and sir Gawain next to me. As we saw king Sonic's castle appear we stopped. I hide behind some bushes and dressed from my peasant clothes to my armor. My chest plate pressed my breasts down so I looked like how I used to back in the days. "Mommy looks like a real knight now!" Galahad said as I walked out of the bushes. I sat back on the horse and helped Galahad in front of me. I felt completely whole again. I was once again sir Lancelot. I drove my horse towards the castle where I would once again serve king Sonic.
