Ethical Dilemma in Romance

Lancelot sat behind a large desk made of granite and poured over several documents. The sleek tablet he was using sat on a small stand in front of him. He scanned one page, then flicked to the next page with his right index finger. Sometimes he would be required to sign off on something like an allocation of funds or supplies, but mostly he was just reading after action reports and statistics. A steaming cup of specially brewed tea rested on a finely-crafted plate with blue decorations. He would occasionally sip the tea, but most of his attention was on the letters that appeared on the screen.

They still haven’t found Bedivere, huh? I suppose that’s understandable. That fool has always been good at hiding.

It hadn’t even been two days since Lancelot had taken over Winchester, the planet that his half-brother, Bedivere, was in charge of ruling—well, had been in charge of ruling. It was his now. Of course, this planet was just a stepping stone. The true goal that he sought was not this tiny planet.

Turning away from the tablet, Lancelot’s eyes swept around the room. Meagerly decorated with only a few portraits and pieces of artwork, the room was more Spartan than he would have liked. The floor was made of limestone instead of marble. He supposed it was because this planet wasn’t as prosperous as his own.

Bedivere did not have what it took to rule a planet. He wasn’t lazy, per say, but he never strived to create a more prosperous kingdom. His planet was a perfect example. Stuck in the status quo, the planet had not increased its revenue or expanded its trade in the last seven years since Bedivere had become Winchester’s ruler. Lancelot had been reading numerous reports detailing this planet’s financial and economical situation, and while it’s worth hadn’t decreased at all, it also hadn’t increased.

A true ruler, a true king, is someone who is always seeking to improve his life and the lives of his subjects. Bedivere has never once followed this basic principle. That’s why I’m wresting control of this planet from him, and why I won’t let Arthur have his way…

As these thoughts darted through his mind, the door opened and three people walked in.

“Darling brother.” The one in the lead greeted him with a smile. Soft hair darker than crow’s feathers framed a pale face that had enchanted many men. She had dark hooded eyes and crimson lips. Her facial features were soft and delicate, like those of a porcelain doll. Many people had often called this girl an angel, though he knew better. The black dress that she wore was very much a reflection of her twisted personality.

“Morrigan,” he greeted, then addressed the other two individuals. “Tristan. Segwarides. I’m glad you two could make it.”

“I called them here!” Morrigan said with a bubbly smile as she walked toward him with a sashay of her hips. “Aren’t I great?”

“Yes.” Lancelot smiled as he patted Morrigan on the head. “You’re an amazing little sister.”

“Tee-hee!”

Morrigan’s beaming and lovely smile greeted him as he rubbed her hair. She was always looking for praise, and he saw no harm in obliging her. This girl practically lived for the sole purpose of having him tell her what a good girl she was.

“I hope you have a good explanation for all this, Brother,” said Tristan. “You might be Father’s eldest son, but not even that will stop him from berating you upon his return.”

Taller than anyone else Lancelot knew, Tristan was a mountain of muscle and gave off an intimidating aura. Part of that was because of his armor. The dark crimson breastplate had the depiction of a fire-breathing dragon on the front. Shoulder pauldrons clinked together as he moved. The grieves on his feet were also crimson, and they came all the way up to his knees before ending in spikes. Finally, gripped fiercely in his hand was a dangerous-looking spear the color of freshly painted blood.

“You mean ‘if’ Father returns,” Lancelot pointed out.

Their father, Uther Pendragon, had been tasked with a quest by King Lucifer, the ruler of the galaxy. No one knew what their father had been tasked with, or even where he had gone. In his absence, his wives ruled over their solar system.

However, Father’s eleven wives were very hands off in their approach. They believed it was important for their children to learn how to rule properly, and so they often sat back and let their children do as they pleased. Only Lancelot’s and Morrigan’s mother, Igraine, had taken a significant role in nurturing her children.

It was she who taught Morrigan to control the elements, and it was she who suggested to Lancelot that now was the best time to keep Arthur from claiming the throne.

When Arthur pulled Caliburn from the stone, it was announced that he would become king, and Lancelot had given up hope of ever becoming king himself. No matter how vocal he was that his youngest brother wasn’t fit for the job, or how logical his arguments were about how they shouldn’t make someone king because a child pulled a sword from a stone, nobody listened to him. He’d eventually resigned himself. Why bother trying to become king when it was a foregone conclusion that Arthur would take the reigns?

His goal had shifted after that. He would make his planet the most prosperous in the solar system. Then, when Arthur became king, he would present his planet as an example of what he could do and become Arthur’s adviser. After which, he would rule from the shadows, advising his youngest brother on how best to rule this solar system. In doing so, he would create the prosperous kingdom that he had always dreamed of.

Then his mother had come to him, told him that Arthur was unfit to rule, that he had gone off to some backwater solar system to find Princess Gabrielle, King Lucifer’s daughter, and take her hand in marriage. Arthur had neglected his duties for a woman. He was unfit to rule, to lead. Those had been his mother’s words. They had convinced Lancelot that his brother was unfit to rule.

That was why Lancelot would take over. He had planned this coup with his sister. Together, they would wrest this solar system from their youngest brother.

“Do not speak with such defeatism,” Segwarides said, frowning as he crossed his arms. “Father is a powerful and capable warrior. It would take someone of King Lucifer’s caliber to defeat him.”

Lean and elegant, with a graceful figure that was more beautiful than rugged, Segwarides was a contrast in appearance to all his other brothers. Unlike Tristan’s armor, Segwarides wore leather armor with a glossy sheen that reflected sunlight. Further accentuating his attunement to nature, numerous leaf-shaped segments of armor studded his chest, shoulders, and kneecaps. A blaster bow was strapped across his back.

“I do not wish to speak as though he’s never returning.” Lancelot leaned back and stared at his two younger half-siblings. Meanwhile, Morrigan stood right next to him. “However, it has been more than a year since Father disappeared. While I hope he is safe, and that he will return home, I cannot allow myself to bask in a false hope. Since it has been so long, I believe it’s better to act under the assumption that he will not return.”

His two half-siblings shuffled their feet, perhaps out of discomfort for the way he spoke. He did not blame them. Their father might be a bit impersonal when it came to his family, but all of them respected and admired him. Lancelot sincerely hoped his father was safe. At the same time, he would not turn a blind eye to the fact that it had been over a year since Father set off on his quest with Gadreel, King Lucifer’s first wife and the Empress of Angelisia.

“Brother. Brother.” Morrigan placed a hand on his shoulder. “Perhaps you should tell them why you wanted to speak with them?”

“Yes, I suppose you are right,” Lancelot said, standing to his feet.

“Considering what you’ve done, I believe we already know what this is about.” Tristan wore a very cross look as he stared at Lancelot. “I do not believe I can help you in this matter.”

“Do not be so hasty. There is a lot going on right now that you are unaware of. At least listen to what I have to say before you make a decision,” Lancelot rebutted.

“I will listen,” Segwarides said. “Whether or not I will side with you is another matter entirely, but I will at least listen to what you have to say before I make a decision.”

Tristan sighed. “If Segwarides is willing to listen, then I shall also hear you out.”

“Thank you.” Lancelot walked in front of the desk, Morrigan trailing after him, and faced his two half-siblings from up close. “I know that neither of you approved of Arthur becoming crown prince merely because he pulled Caliburn from the stone.”

The two before him stiffened. Lancelot withheld a smile. The reason he called these two individuals was because out of all his half-siblings, they were the ones who expressed the most distaste. They had argued against Arthur becoming crown prince. It had gotten so bad that Father had sent them to the farthest planets in the solar system, merely so he wouldn’t have to listen to them complain anymore.

“I will admit, while I was also displeased, I believed that it would be better to support Arthur to the best of my abilities than to keep arguing about his ascension.”

“Then something has changed your mind?” asked Segwarides.

“Indeed.” Lancelot nodded. He held out his hand, and Morrigan picked up the tablet from the desk and handed it to him. “I’m not sure if you know, but it has been made public that Princess Gabrielle Angelise has selected her own marriage candidate.”

“We are aware.” Tristan nodded.

“Then you are also aware that King Lucifer has said that whoever can steal Princess Gabrielle from this Alexander S. Ryker will be given her hand in marriage and become Emperor of the Galaxy?” His half-siblings nodded. Lancelot continued. “As you know, our solar system has a powerful alliance with Angelisia. It is thanks in part to this alliance that we have prospered. Seven years ago, Father was originally planning to present Arthur as a potential marriage candidate for Princess Gabrielle, but that changed when he pulled Caliburn from the stone. The marriage was called off because if Arthur became Emperor of the Galaxy, he would be required to put the galaxy’s interests before our own, which would conflict with his duties as our king.”

Segwarides and Tristan nodded. They were as aware of all this as him.

Lancelot leaned against the desk, which only squealed slightly as he put the full weight of his golden armor on it. He crossed his arms. Presenting the two with his most serious expression, he tried to put everything he felt into his eyes as he said the words that would undoubtedly bring these two to his side.

“About two weeks ago, Arthur found out about what was happening with Princess Gabrielle and has left for a planet called Mars, the place where she is currently residing. Arthur has put his own interests and desires before his solar system’s.” He paused before making his final proclamation. “That is why I no longer believe Arthur is fit to be our king, and why I would like you both to help me remove him from the position.”
