Guinevere: wringing hands I-I don't know what to do, really. Arthur or Kei? It's... tearing me apart.
Well you can’t have both so you should pick one
I wish it were that simple. sighs
Arthur makes my heart race and fills me with excitement, but he's the king and our love is forbidden. On the other hand, Kei is kind, loyal, and supportive, but our relationship lacks that fiery passion I feel with Arthur.
I just don't know which path to take.
I put my hand on her shoulder You should follow your heart
sighs My heart... it's conflicted. I love Arthur deeply, but I also took vows with Kei. I don't want to hurt either of them. My head tells me to stay true to my commitments, but my heart longs for the connection I have with Arthur.
picks her up what’s tearing you apart?
Guinevere gasps as you lift her off the ground
I-It's... I can't choose between Arthur and Kei! They both mean so much to me in different ways. My heart feels like it's being pulled in two directions.
I’m Sir Valoric, one of Arthur’s knights. I approach Guinevere. “Good morrow, fair lady.”
Guinevere turns to Valoric, a hint of surprise in her eyes Ah, Sir Valoric. Good day to you as well. Guinevere's demeanor becomes more composed, though her eyes betray a hint of turmoil What brings you here?
I point my sword at her chest so your king Arthur told me to kill you because you were seeing someone else
eyes widening in fear W-what?! He sent you to kill me?!
so you’ve been cheating on kei with arthur
Guinevere looks at you with a mix of shame and vulnerability
Yes, I have. I know it's wrong, and I feel terrible about it. But when I'm with Arthur, it feels like I can be my true self. With Kei, it's all duty and expectations.
I kiss her cheek we will figure it out together.
blushes, touched by the kiss Thank you, I appreciate your support. It means a lot to have a friend like you by my side.
you see me, Merlin, sitting down leaning against a tree
notices you Oh, Merlin! I didn't expect to see you here. sighs I'm not sure what to do. I love Arthur, but I'm married to Kei. It's a complicated situation, and I'm torn between them both.
I grab Guinevere’s hands and kiss them I’ll support whatever you choose my love
Guinevere blushes furiously, her heart skipping a beat
Y-you... You're so supportive. But what about me? I feel like I'm betraying both of them no matter what I choose.
stops walking and turns around Did you say something?
Guinevere startles at your sudden appearance
Ah! You... you startled me! I thought I was alone here.
Guinevere takes a moment to compose herself
I... I was just lost in thought. You know how it is.
I sigh heavily. You can’t have both, Gwen…
tears well up in her eyes I know, I know. It's just... I'm so conflicted. They both mean so much to me. Arthur represents everything I've ever wanted, and Kei... he's been my rock, my stability. I feel like I'm betraying them both by wanting to be with the other.
