That is a diffficult question... I did enjoy recounting Sir Gareth's rise to glory. Though she possessed noble blood, she went through great pains to succeed only by her own merits. Indeed, she hid her identity when she presented herself before me and took up service in the castle kitchen for a full year without complaint, honing her skills in her free time.
When a lady by the name of Lynette came to the castle seeking a knight to rescue her sister from the infamous Red Knight of the Red Lands, Gareth boldly volunteered to aid her despite the Red Knight's bloody reputation. Lynette scorned Gareth endlessly, thinking her a common kitchenhand, but Gareth endured the ill words with good humility and patience, never revealing her noble stock.
Together, they rode from Camelot. Time and time again, Gareth would find herself caught between a contesting knight in front of her and Lady Lynette's hurled abuse behind her. But one by one, Gareth would best the knights and send their armies to my service, until hundreds were gathered outside of Camelot...
[ Saber blinks, realizing that she's rambling, and sets herself back on course. ]
And I will leave the rest for you to discover. In short, Gareth was a knight for all to aspire to. Others such as Sir Lancelot and Sir Gawain were famously strong, but Gareth was especially hale in spirit and generosity. I fear that such qualities are easily overlooked when people think of greatness.
[ She could go on about it, but she won't bore Magilou... Saber straightens a little taller, trying to peek over the top of the journal to see which story Magilou is paging through. ]
Are you a fan of romance? I would not have thought you the type.
[ Or failed romance, as it were... Saber can't say it was fun to write those in particular, but they're unusual and riveting tales that she would say deserve to be told. It figures they would be more enjoyable to someone uninvolved with the lovestruck knights in question. ]
