LANCELOT :
Even without the Round Table, you are a good knight, Palamedes.
PALAMEDES :
What…
Is that supposed to echo
what Mordred said in Orkney?
LANCELOT :
…
Maybe so.
I cannot say what the Round Table would become without Arthur…
…or the companions I knew.
But is it so important to prove
you are worthy of it?
I’ve seen countless knights die to protect Arthur’s honor, and his ideals of chivalry.
…I still believe in them, even now.
But
time has passed
and the kingdoms’ realities have taken over the dream.
…
Palamedes.
You don’t need the Round Table to be the excellent knight you already are.
And you don’t need to hunt down the Beast, either.
Such a pursuit will only lead you down the same path as Gawain.
You know I hold her in high esteem.
It’s a pity to watch her self-destruct like this.
PALAMEDES :
…
It’s not…
…just that, it’s…
the only thing that still binds me to…
LANCELOT :
…You’re allowed to rest, Palamedes.
How long has it been since you went to see your mother?
PALAMEDES :
…Too long.
You’re right. Maybe now is the time,
once I drop by Camelot.
I mean to tell Arthur of what transpired in Orkney.
I’m afraid that if we don’t work towards peace, war may be the only outcome.
And it would break my heart
to fight those I call companions.
MORDRED :
…What…
do you mean
by “he couldn’t have anyway”?
DINADAN :
You know damn well, don’t you?
I know
you’re bound to the Grail.
MORDRED :
How…?
Come on, that’s absurd, I⎯
DINADAN :
Oh, stop pretending, won’t you?
…It took some time, but I’ve finally got all the pieces.
Morgan bound you to the Grail,
and that’s how Lamorak died.
MORDRED :
What…?
DINADAN :
Wanna know how I found out?
Very well.
Since that quest with the shield in Corbenic, I’ve harbored suspicions about Morgan
that Breuse just confirmed.
He was working for her.
As a result, we stumbled upon the Grail.
What she meant to happen, I don’t know,
but the Grail ended up latching onto Lamorak during our quest in Mount Tombe.
I was told Merlin said
the Grail what was kept him alive.
Lamorak, while still bound to the Grail, could not have died.
And, lo and behold,
when he goes off to his seaside retreat,
he dies.
The Grail is nowhere to be found.
And you Orkneys
are lying.
Lamorak allegedly attacked Aglovale, then yourself,
forcing Gawain to kill him to defend you.
But it doesn’t hold up.
And a witness says they saw two knights dueling in full armor…
…and to be honest, that’s all I had at the time,
unable to understand how it all fit together, even though it was obvious.
I’m not a good knight…
…but I have a good memory.
And your mother just tried
to explain away what happened to the Welsh
by telling me you’d been stabbed.
How did you recover so quickly from a stab wound, to show up fighting fit at your knighting ceremony,
when Gawain was still in recovery at the funerals?
And all these times
you threw yourself into duels without any fear of consequences…
It all makes sense now.
It’s because you’re bound to the Grail.
Morgan used her magic to destroy Lamorak’s tie to it,
then bind it to you.
MORDRED :
I…
…I…
DINADAN :
Now let’s come to you.
Those hypotheses as to what could be done with the Grail…
You knew them to be true, because the Grail is with you.
That’s why you resent Arthur so much, no?
You believe him responsible for everything wrong with Britain
given you have proof that the Grail isn’t the miracle we expected it to be.
MORDRED :
No, it’s not…
It’s not…
What…
Where are you going?
DINADAN :
To Camelot.
My research bore fruit
because I understand now where the Grail wraiths come from.
I need to tell Arthur.
And despite everything, you care about your role as a knight, don’t you?
Now that we know you have the Grail, we know there’s still something to be done for Britain.
MORGAN :
If your ties to the Grail are revealed…
…we will have no choice but to answer
for what happened to the Welsh.
MORDRED :
N…
No!
