Love and Loyalty

Oh how my heart burns with sorrow. But I could not lie to my HUSBAND! Can you not see how gravely distressed I was. It was awful to be pursued by Uther.... although I certainly did not act upon any of his offers, I was still just as guilty. And then my faithful Husband how good you were to believe me. You have always been my beloved. To defy a KING with such vigilance is testament to how you loved me as well. Now that you are gone from me, taken no doubt from sheer malice, the man who caused our woes has comforted me and my family. We will not be lost, Uther has decided to marry me as settlement for your tragic end. He's also married off our daughter to king Lot. But what you next will hear certainly would shock you from your grave, but even in death I cannot lie to my husband. Someone made me PREGNANT! I can barely hold back the tears now. But Uther took well care of me and my strange little son you can be sure of that. I have grown into love with my new husband and although we do not have an heir Merlin will guide Uthers kingdom well. Merlin was a great and wise man I could never believe anything ill of him or my new husband Uther, just as I could never have done so with you.

Because I am a chivalrous knight, I do feel sorry for the loss of your husband. Your loyalty to him mimics my own to my great queen. However, I like Uther know the pain of something, or rather someone, you can never have. I do think impreganting you while disguised was a low and impetuous thing to do. Still I can relate to how he must have and still does yearn for you and need your being for his existance. Yet I am left to wallow in my pain and let the hole in my heart grow larger with each passing day that I cannot be with my beloved. The only way for me to go on living is to go away from her and this place, to go fight abroad and try to forget her, but I know I never shall.
