14 Year Old Becomes King in Less Than 1 Minute! Lady Lily England, 1425
This is the sword in the stone which king Arthur pulled out
No one could have ever thought that a boy so young could be the king of Britain. But King Arthur proved it. When Britain wanted a king for the land, they didn’t just want any man, they want a brave and strong one. The problem was that they didn’t have a solution on how to find the right person: every man wanted to be king. As a result, a wizard named Merlin caused a large stone to appear before the great church in London. Upon the stone was an anvil and sword, and the anvil wrote, “He who draws forth this sword is the rightful king of Britain.” Everyone tried and tried to get the sword out. Then one day, Arthur ‘accidentally‘ pulled the sword out without even knowing it. What you don’t know is that Merlin casted a spell on the stone so only Arthur could pull it out. But that wasn’t cheating. King Arthur was the true king of Britain because his real father was King Uther, who was the king of Britain before Arthur. Therefore, Arthur deserved it.

Well first, lets talk about King Arthur. Did he really have a baby with Morgan La Fay? Well, yes. If you don’t know, Morgan La Fay is Arthur's half sister. They both have the same mother. People have said that Morgan had purposely dressed elegantly to impress king Arthur. She wanted him to fall in love with her. And since Arthur couldn’t hold back, they had an affair.
Speaking of Morgan and Arthur, when Arthur received Excalibur from the lady of the lake, Merlin strictly told him to keep it with him at all times. But guess what, he decided to give it to his evil, witch sister, Morgan La fay. She then tried to kill King Arthur but failed.
Now, have you heard about Guinevere? Well she is a cheater! King Arthur decided to marry her since it was love at first sight. Now we claim that the only reason she accepted the proposal was to get closer to Arthur's knight, Sir Lancelot, who is Guinevere’s lover. We have caught the two of them ‘secretly’ meeting up in the castles garden. Should we tell Arthur?
Speaking of Sir Lancelot, one day, he found out that someone had tricked him and he had a baby with a woman named Elaine, instead of Guinevere. When he found that out, he decided to run away and live in the wild. Soon, he started looking like a caveman and no one recognized him, except, of course, Elaine. After that, since Lancelot was very ashamed,him and Elaine went away to Joyous Isle, and now, they are living there with their lovely little gentleman, Galahad.
That’s it for this week, but we promise to gossip more next week. Tune in next week, and we’ll keep you on track with the world!

If becoming king is this easy in Britain, then imagine how easy it is becoming president.
Chivalry is an Insult!
Lady Lily England, 1425
This is an example of chivalry
Everywhere we go, we see men treating women like weak princesses. They hold their shopping bags, open doors for them, and pay for their dinner. Some women like to be treated like a princess, but some women don’t. If you don’t know what chivalry is (which i’m pretty sure you do know), it’s when a person, usually a man/knight, protect others who can not protect themselves, such as women, children, and elders. Chivalry is nice and respectful but it’s just too nice and it’s kind of making fun of the other gender. Sure women can’t do all the things men can do, but we do know how to take care of ourselves. Plus, most women are strong. We don’t always need men to help us; even if they try to be nice.You probably have heard of the Code of Chivalry. It is a moral system in which knights are supposed to do chivalry. Do you think that’s right, or insulting? On the left is an example of chivalry.
