[It's a heavy talk, but Watanuki can at least understand what Merlin is getting at. To some extent. He has no experience with loyalty and treason accusations like that, but following the rules and orders set out by those in charge is a pretty key part of life in Japan.

He hums thoughtfully, chewing on his own bite. He really doesn't have room to criticize the Round Table when he himself would have trouble speaking out.]

Is that the lesson that the stories of King Arthur are meant to teach? That intentions may be good, but you still need to have some control over your own life and not rely on a king for everything?
