I looked on as she took a step towards the mantle. Her body shaken and her posture trying not to fold in fear. What does the lady of Sir Kay have to be scared of? Of all these so called maidens here, she should be standing tall. She should not be scared of anything. This little test of the mantel should mean nothing. It will be she who will be its owner. But alas I saw it. The mantle becoming shorter upon her wear.

Rejoice, dear friend, for you may have found in this tragedy a glimmer of divine inspiration. Our Lord sent the mantle-bearing youth as a wise lesson in mortal sin and the never ending quest of every Christian to achieve some semblance of purity. While Karadin's beloved may have passed the test, this surely wasn't meant to single you or anyone else out for shaming. We have seen the dangers and inherent sin of love laid out before us at the court. It would be wise to remember that women simply cannot be trusted and abstaining from their love and company can only lead to happiness, purity, and closer intimacy with our Lord's works.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! This news of a mystical mantle pleases me so. Touring the country side, bringing the honour of good men to their knees. Good to you all that the truth is being revealed. While you stay loyal to your king, who doth your maidens keep their loyalty with... not you! HAHA! Your maidens are unfaithful and your honour comprimised, least ye be called knights at all? And that king. he be no more than a peasent in fancy robes. I thank god himself for that my wife be in a better world than one with an all knowing garment. I fear for all men of the country and I will be watching and laughing the whole way through.

Utter mockery has been casted throughout the land. As the Queen, I cannot fathom why such shame and dishonor has been brought upon me. Of course it was not just I who was exposed in such a way; it was every lady in the land being shamed for her misdeeds. It was the cloak that tested our courtly behavior; sure enough I was not the only woman who has been unfaithful and I can rest easy knowing that I am not individually guilty of adultery. Why is it that the mantle was brought to the court to only chastise the maidens? Are all of the knights as “noble” as they are made out to be? I do not appreciate being made a fool of. Surely their infidelity should be exposed as well.

Ah yes, the mantle. It was meant to show how fair maidens of the land were dishonorable to their knights and husband. But was a maiden? And what would make her dishonorable? I believe a maiden to be a gentle virgin, never having been with a man or even entertained that thought. Then why did my beloved queen have to take on the horrid mantle? If a maiden is a virgin, my queen should be exempt from having to embarrass herself in front of the court. If a maiden meant any women, why would it have been dishonorable for her to have been with her husband. If the mantle truly showed her dishonor, would it have not been a more dramatic change in the case of the queen? Fret not Sir Kay, that mantle is complete rubbish. It was only meant for completely chaste virginal maidens.
