King Arthur Drabble: Legendary

Title: Legendary
Warnings: none
Word Count: 100
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] ka100 prompt 5a, "Hero"


The three of them laugh at the stories. Arthur’s great and noble knight who stayed to defend the land from the invaders and died to save his beloved, even knowing that she would wed his best friend. It is a legend upon which Arthur’s realm is built, told and retold in sonorous, sweeping tones to rapt listeners.

Although Arthur’s fearsome Sarmatian knights try to keep straight faces in public, they snigger and giggle together in dark corners like boys, most of all because they picture Lancelot’s reaction to such tales. Lancelot, who could not say the word hero without sneering.
