Lancelot and Guinevere stood outside Galahad’s tomb, arms
entwined and bodies touching to a scandalous degree. The tomb was sealed, but
it was empty. His true fate was unconfirmed, but couple sitting on the thrones
of Camelot found it convenient to perpetuate the idea that he had experienced
divine ascension. Whether they believed it or not, it helped establish their legitimacy
among the religious peasants, some of whom were still uncomfortable with the
rumors of the origins of their rulers’ relationship.
The couple turned to face the crowd of subjects standing
behind them. After disentangling from one another, they spoke.
