I will likely be beheaded for this.

0:06

And I am aware of the consequences, but

0:09

it must be discussed.

0:11

Someone has to set the record straight.

0:14

And these lies must not persist. So, for

0:19

many years our kingdom has been under

0:22

the deception

0:23

of our king.

0:26

By no one's surprise. All right. I know

0:29

he is hated. Everyone dislikes him, but

0:31

see, as a member of his royal court, as

0:35

a knight of the round table, um I have

0:38

seen even worse matters, and I must

0:41

bring them to light. Now, please do not

0:43

take this lightly. It is a very

0:46

difficult topic for me to talk about

0:48

because I know that this video shall be

0:51

my last. So, please

0:54

when I am executed, please avenge me

0:58

and avenge my honor.

1:00

So, for many years

1:02

King Arthur has been lying about his

1:06

heritage.

1:08

And actually, his half-sister, Lady

1:12

Morgana, is the true heir to the throne.

1:15

Yes. Lady Morgana, the evil witch that

1:18

has tried to take over the kingdom many

1:20

times.

1:21

It is actually her birthright. And not

1:24

only that, but King Arthur has been

1:28

taking too many taxes from my paycheck

1:32

every every week. So, instead of one

1:35

shilling a week, I simply get half of a

1:37

copper.

1:39

Which, as a knight of the round table, I

1:41

am of the most utmost high stature, and

1:45

yet I am treated less than a peasant. Do

1:48

you know what you can get with half a

1:50

copper?

1:53

Not even a loaf of bread.

1:55

Me and my pet horse, Horsie, go hungry.

2:00

Every night. We are starved. You know

2:04

how horrible a life that is? To be

2:06

starved as a knight of the round table.

2:09

I have slain dragons for King Arthur,

2:12

okay? I have upheld my honor and I have

2:15

upheld King Arthur's honor in the most

2:18

high regards, okay? I am Sir Knox of the

2:22

round table and I

2:27

I'm sorry. Just give me a minute. I

2:32

My whole life

2:34

is a lie.

2:36

Because why do I even serve King Arthur

2:38

if he is not the rightful heir to

2:41

Camelot, okay?

2:46

Like if

2:47

Monty Python's knights get paid better

2:50

than I do and their kingdom is half the

2:52

size.

2:54

And what have they done?

2:55

They have not conquered any lands. They

2:57

haven't even found the Holy Grail yet

2:59

and it's been like 15 years, okay?

3:05

I'm sorry.

3:06

It's a sensitive topic. So,

3:09

I just the fact that King Arthur has

3:12

lied to us this entire time breaks my

3:14

heart. And I feel that my soul is

3:18

condemned to an eternity of sadness

3:21

and I shall be thrown in the

3:25

I'm sorry. I thought I heard something.

3:27

I thought it was Sir Lancelot who was

3:29

banging down my door to try to lock me

3:31

in the dungeon. See,

3:33

that's just another thing that thou

3:35

Listen to me. Sir Lancelot is in on the

3:38

plot, okay? He knows.

3:41

He knows King Arthur is not the rightful

3:43

heir and yet

3:45

he still follows him and

3:47

this is just a theory, but I believe

3:50

that that King Arthur's handmaiden or

3:54

whatever, Merlin, is actually a wizard.

3:59

Okay, he's been doing

4:01

some magic spells and I've seen them. No

4:04

one believes me though because every

4:06

time I'm like, "Merlin is a wizard."

4:08

King Arthur is just like, "No, he cannot

4:10

be a wizard. He's too stupid."

4:13

So, either King Arthur knows that Merlin

4:17

is a wizard and that King Arthur is

4:19

allowing magic in Camelot

4:23

or

4:24

or King Arthur is just an idiot.

4:28

Or

4:29

a third possibility, which cannot be

4:31

true, is King Arthur is secretly in love

4:34

with Merlin

4:36

and does not love his wife, Lady

4:37

Guinevere. But Lady Guinevere is so

4:40

fine. She's so beautiful.

4:42

I

4:44

I don't understand how someone could not

4:46

love her. Like, she's the fairest of all

4:48

maidens and

4:50

I don't like her.

4:51

I need to clarify. I just think

4:54

Guinevere is objectively the fairest of

4:56

maid of maidens. Um

4:59

she's she's not actually that pretty.

5:01

So, I'm not I'm not into her like that,

5:03

I swear.

5:04

Um please don't tell King Arthur. He

5:06

will like double behead me. I mean, he's

5:08

going to behead me anyways for this. I'm

5:10

not

5:11

King Arthur's going to behead me. Oh

5:14

oh gosh. Oh golly, what am I doing? I

5:17

should never have posted. No. No.

5:22

I just want the good good of the

5:23

kingdom.

5:25

Okay. It's for the good of the kingdom

5:27

that I am posting this and it must be

5:29

said. It must be said. It must be told

5:32

to everyone.

5:33

Or else, what what has become of our

5:36

great kingdom of Camelot? See,

5:39

our late King Uther Pendragon would have

5:41

never stood for this nonsense. He would

5:44

have made sure the rightful heir was on

5:46

the throne.

5:48

And that the my the mage Merlin was was

5:52

done with.

5:53

Oh,

5:54

what have we come to? We're allowed to

5:55

do magic in in Camelot? The rightful

5:59

heir isn't even the rightful heir. It's

6:01

It's the evil witch. Who the The

6:03

rightful heir is a witch? Like that.

6:09

That is absurd.

6:12

We have tried so long to rid our kingdom

6:16

of all magic, and yet this is what

6:18

happens. I am ashamed.

6:21

I am sorry, my friends. I am ashamed

6:24

that I am a knight of Camelot.

6:27

I wish not to be, but alas, I have taken

6:30

a vow for my whole life

6:33

to be a knight of the Round Table.

6:36

And thus, I cannot escape my bonds. But

6:40

alas, I can perhaps perish just as long

6:44

as I can inform all of thee of the

6:47

treachery that has been going on right

6:49

under thy nose.

6:52

Now, please. Please, my friends.

6:55

Please understand that I never meant to

6:58

cause thee harm. I never meant to to to

7:02

fight for someone who is not the

7:05

rightful heir of Camelot.

7:07

I don't know how to remedy this.

7:12

I don't know how to fix this.

7:15

I just hope that someone figures out

7:17

how.

7:23

Gosh, this is horrible.

7:29

I'm really scared, and I don't know what

7:32

to do anymore.

7:35

As a knight, my vows have been to defend

7:38

the kingdom and defend to king.

7:42

And yet now

7:44

we are in such a state of despair.

7:46

What's next?

7:47

Our dragon is going to start attacking

7:49

again. I wouldn't be surprised.

7:53

You know, I wouldn't be surprised even

7:55

though I thought that we executed all of

7:57

them, but

7:59

who knows? Maybe tomorrow they'll just

8:01

show up at our doorstep.

8:09

And it's really a shame because King

8:11

Arthur was so fine.

8:14

Like you you know he has really nice

8:16

hair.

8:17

And a beautiful wife. Like why would he

8:20

betray Lady Guinevere like this? I could

8:22

treat Guinevere better. I Sorry, Lady

8:24

Guinevere. I'm sorry. I could treat Lady

8:27

Guinevere better.

8:28

Clearly.

8:29

And um

8:31

I'm I'm the best knight of the round

8:32

table.

8:34

Not Sir Lancelot. Sir Lancelot is not

8:36

the best knight of the round table,

8:37

okay? That title goes to me. So, Knox,

8:40

make sure that that is known throughout

8:42

the kingdoms

8:43

um when the uprising happens and make

8:45

sure that my name is held in honor

8:49

for our victories. All right? Um

8:52

because it's very important that Sir

8:55

Lancelot gets put in his place.

8:59

And Sir Lancelot, if you're watching

9:01

this, I have a message for thee, okay?

9:03

That one joust where you knocked me off

9:05

my horse,

9:08

you cheated.

9:10

I know that you cheated. I know. I don't

9:13

know how, but I know that you did, okay?

9:15

So, that doesn't count.

9:18

It doesn't count and I demand a rematch

9:21

because I shall win this time. I shall

9:23

win for my own honor and for everyone

9:25

else's honor.

9:28

I shall be victorious.

9:30

And I know that thou art protecting the

9:32

false king.

9:34

And thou

9:35

one day

9:36

will will face retribution.

9:40

It may not be today, it may not be

9:42

tomorrow, and it may not it may not even

9:44

be next week, but it will be one day.

9:47

And the king

9:48

will face justice

9:51

as he should.

9:55

I can't believe this. I This torment,

9:58

this treachery. Please, my friends,

10:02

be cautious of the king. And please,

10:05

remember me.

10:06

I

10:07

I fear that this video shall be my last.
