MORDRED :
Why?
Why did you challenge Aglovale to a duel?!
This doesn’t make any sense!
GAWAIN :
He called my honor into question.
And he’s been provoking me for a long time.
MORDRED :
Oh, please.
Lamorak I would’ve understood, but Aglovale?
What could he have done that’s terrible enough to warrant this?
[ gawain just stares at him. lmao. ]
MORDRED :
( Ah! )
Listen, I…
…I don’t want anything bad to happen to you…
Duels aren’t to be taken lightly, I⎯
GAWAIN :
You don’t have much faith in me, I see.
Against Aglovale, of all people.
To be honest, I’m more worried about you.
Do you have a weapon you can hide?
MORDRED :
Excuse me?
GAWAIN :
I’m afraid that no matter how this duel ends, you’ll be in danger.
I’d rather go off to fight with my mind at ease.
MORDRED :
…
A weapon that’s easy to hide…?
…
Yes, I’ve got what I need.
But please…
[ hesitating ]
Be careful.
GAWAIN :
( Mordred…
I’ll do anything to protect you.
You’ll never learn this heinous truth⎯
No one will.
You’d be dishonored, hunted down, despised…
I can’t let that happen. Not to you,
or to Arthur. )
MORDRED :
( I knew this could go wrong.
He took advantage of Gawain’s blind spot
to switch his sword to his other hand.
She literally didn’t see it coming… )
GAWAIN :
( …No.
I can’t give up.
I can’t
surrender! )
…
So here we are.
Are you even fit to keep going?
LAMORAK :
Alright, that’s enough.
He’s clearly not in a state to fight anymore.
Let’s put an end to this pointless fight.
MORGAN :
Of course.
…
If he surrenders.
LAMORAK :
No, I’m going to take his place as champion, it’s⎯
MORGAN :
⎯against the rules, Sir Lamorak.
If he wished to let you champion him, he wouldn’t have agreed to the terms of the duel.
Now it’s up to him to surrender or let the fight proceed as it will.
LAMORAK :
He won’t do it. His honor’s on the line!
MORGAN :
…
If so, I’m afraid there’s only one way for this to end.
LAMORAK :
… Yeah…
I’ll take his place whether he wants it or not!
[ morgan blasts him with magic rip. lamorak tries to move, to no avail. ]
LAMORAK :
Wh-what?
MORGAN :
I believe I’ve made myself clear.
You accepted the duel’s terms when it began, the same as your brother.
Your attempt to intervene could cost you your life. Do you understand?
As for the duel…
There are only two ways for it to end.
Surrender…
…or death.
ROUND TABLE TRIVIA
Duels between knights, part two
Duels are meant to solve disputes or pass judgment on charges that have neither witnesses nor confessions.
NPC 1 :
You stole my apple!
NPC 2 :
Lies! I challenge you to a duel!
Each party may be represented by a champion, and the final judgment is determined by the duel’s outcome.
NPC 2 :
Oh, right, I did steal that apple… but I won, so I’m innocent.
Since surrendering is tantamount to admitting one’s guilt, duels tend to be quite deadly, as many knights would rather die than face such dishonor.
