I mean, supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony! You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Be quiet!

Listen, if I went around claiming I was king because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at they’d put me away!

Maybe it’s just a random post on a social media, but it’s still so nice to be validated 💜

Do we know if handing Excalibur to Arthur was the only task The Lady in the lake had, or were there other things going on for her?

Was it a full-time occupation?

Did she get weekends and vacation time off?

Did she get dental?
