Our Storu when prince valiant came
at last -to his king, there was the dust
of long travel on his cloak, new dents
in his armor. "j have completed the
grail quest; sire. ' "enter, sir
valiant, ano sit here beside met said
ARTHUR.
THEN VAL TELLS OP HIS FINDINGS. OF HOW THE GRAIL IS A SVAASOL OF FAITH AND HOPE,
AND THE KNIGHTS WHO TOOK THE GRAIL OL'EST SPREAD CHRISTIANITY BV THEIR EXAMPLE
AND NOBLE DEEDS. AND HE TALKS RAPIDLY AND EARNESTLY WHILE THE KING SITS QUIETLX
AND WHEN THE TALE IS PINISHSD, THE KING SPEAKS: S THERE SUCH
A THING AS THE GRAIL ? THERE IS A TROUBLED LOOK IN VAL'S
EYES AS HE ANSWERS, 'THERE IS NO GRAIL, SIRE " FOR HE CAN
NOT LIE TO HIS KING.

THERE NEVER WAS fifiOOR TT EVER EXISTED, ' CONTINUES VAL IN A
PUZZLED VOICE, 'YET THE LEGEND GROWS, AND MEN WILL SEE
THE GRAIL AS LONG IS 'A7H LIVES. WHAT WILL YTW DO, SIRE .
'NOTHING, ANSWERS ARTHUR. "EVEN
THOUGH THE QUEST THREATENS THE
VERY EXISTENCE OR THE FELLOW
SHIP OF TABLE ROUND, WE LEAVE
IT TO A HIGHER POWER.
SO VAL LEAVES HIS KING, AND HALF IN DREAD, HALF IN HOPE, TURNS HIS STEPS TO WHERE
ALETA WAITS, ALL HIS FUTURE HAPPINESS IN HER SMALL HANDS. BUT CAN A MAN WHO
HAS SPANKED A OUEEN EXPECT FORGIVENESS? -, .
