BREUSE :
Sorry to interrupt your silly fight, Tristan.
It was hilarious, but…
Your defeat isn’t part of my plans.
SHERIFF :
What…
Knight, what is the meaning of this?
BREUSE :
I just decided to sweep both the bets and the shield, Sheriff.
TRISTAN :
That’s what I thought.
You’re getting predictable, Breuse.
BREUSE :
Oh, Tristan.
If you took your fights seriously,
we wouldn’t be here.
( Dinadan : You alright, Mordred?
Mordred : Y-yes… )
TRISTAN :
I don’t see the point in putting a stop to the fight you gambled on by threatening my squire.
And you’ve got no way out.
So what exactly is your plan?
BREUSE :
Go get the tourney’s money pot and bring it to me,
and I’ll let the kid go.
SEAN :
There’s a much simpler alternative.
TRISTAN :
Sean?
SEAN :
You miscalculated this, knight.
I hate it…
… when people interrupt my matches.
BREUSE :
…
Ah.
Oomf!
TRISTAN :
Nice elbow work, Percival!
You could have called him names too, you know!
( He deserves worse. )
Oh, and Sean…
You’d better put that shield down.
SEAN :
Listen,
I had some fun with the two of you,
but you would’ve lost,
so this shield is mine.
TRISTAN :
You don’t understand, Breuse could⎯
SEAN :
The moron who gave me the shield and let the child he was holding hostage go?
PERCIVAL :
(annoyed)
Do I really look that young??
SEAN :
What could he do, exactly?
TRISTAN :
No, wait⎯
SEAN :
Missed?
Not big enough for you?
BREUSE :
Aww, my dear half-giant…
Who says I was going for you?
SEAN :
Wh⎯
Ah!
I can’t
let go of it!
SHERIFF :
My God…
TRISTAN :
I’m sorry we dragged you into this, Sean.
This magic has very powerful adverse effects.
I can’t believe you’re still alive after this.
You were very lucky.
Breuse took the opportunity to run off, of course…
He probably planned all of this out from the start.
SHERIFF :
Planned what out?
TRISTAN :
To make me use this shield.
But he rolled with the punches.
Now that we got rid of him,
all we have to do is bring this shield back to its owner.
PERCIVAL :
Oh, sir, Breuse⎯
SHERIFF :
One minute, sir knight.
Letting you take this shield is out of the question.
It’s our only guarantee to get enough money to last the winter⎯
TRISTAN :
Listen,
I’ll get the king to take the necessary measures for you.
No one should have to rely on such dangerous methods just to survive.
But you must let us take this shield,
or someone else could end up like Sean,
or worse.
SHERIFF :
I don’t trust this king,
or the Round Table, which doesn’t give a damn about our dignity.
So keeping this shield is a risk I’m willing to take.
TRISTAN :
I see.
You leave me no choice, then.
CROWD :
Get them!
DINADAN :
Tristan,
just once…
… please try diplomacy first!
TRISTAN :
I did try!
DINADAN :
Ugh, whatever!
The stables are on the other side of the river!
TRISTAN :
Worst case scenario, we’ll swim!
DINADAN :
Go ahead, if you want to drown!
MORDRED :
There’s the bridge!
TRISTAN :
Good eye, Mordred!
We can clear it!
We’re gonna have to jump, guys!
MORDRED :
What?!
N-no, I’m not gonna⎯
DINADAN :
I wasn’t asking!
MORDRED :
Don’t⎯
Don’t let go of me!
DINADAN :
…
What do we do now?
TRISTAN :
You two go ahead!
Go get the horses, we’ll meet up outside the city!
DINADAN :
Got it!
TRISTAN :
Percival, can you swim?
PERCIVAL :
Yes, sir!
TRISTAN :
So you can guess what my plan is, then?
PERCIVAL :
… Y-yes.
TRISTAN :
Do you trust me?
PERCIVAL :
( It’s odd.
Everything hurts,
I’m exhausted and terrified, but
I haven’t felt this confident in a long time. )
Yes!
TRISTAN :
So jump!
SOLDIERS :
They jumped?
They’re mad!
PERCIVAL :
Sir Tristan… ?
?? :
Ah, perfect.
And I thought I’d have to dive in to get it.
So, be a good boy…
BREUSE :
… and bring me the shield,
if you don’t want me to make you wish you’d never been born.
ROUND TABLE TRIVIA
Humans aren’t Britain’s only inhabitants, as they share the land with the Sidhe, commonly known as “fairies”.
Fairies is an umbrella term for very different individuals, but they all have something in common : they are all tied to magic and tradition.
Merlin :
“Merlin le Fay” does have a certain ring to it. It’s not as catchy as “Merlin the Enchanter”, though.
For example, despite Merlin’s mysterious origins, his magical abilities make him a fairy.
