Page 76 of In the Dragon's Lair
This secret history, hidden from everyday life, was fascinating. But apparently, the tunnels weren’t what Alexwanted to show me. He opened another door I hadn’t even seen, and he gestured for me to enter.
I walked into a small room carved into the rock. The flickering electric light revealed a table in the centre of the room. On it, something was displayed in a long glass case.
My head began to spin, and my knees grew weak.
“Fuck me,” I breathed. “Excalibur?”
Alex grinned, and then he was behind me, arms around me, supporting me as I grappled with the thought that if Excalibur was real, then King Arthur was real, then…
“I love you,” he told me, and that meant more to me than even this.
I turned in his arms and kissed him. Legendary king’s descendant or not, he was Alex, and I loved him.
