Ector tells the truth
g discovery
Arthur rides back to Kay and hands him the sword. THIS ISN’T MY SWORD! WHERE did you find it?
What countries ruled by a king/queen do you know?
Arthur tells them what happened and Ector turns pale. A sword stuck in a rock? This must be one of Merlin’s tricks... “Hurry up!” Ector shouts. “Let’s ride to the Great Church!” When they arrive at the churchyard Ector orders Arthur to put the sword back into the stone and then to draw it again. Arthur does what his father asks him: he grasps the sword and pulls it easily out of the rock. Ector is looking at Arthur in a strange way now.
MERLIN WAS RIGHT! I kneel to THE TRUE KING OF ENGLAND!
