Arthur's Regret

I'm quite curious as to how everyone felt about chapter 8, when Lancelot was to have his head cut off and Guenever was to be burned. Arthur's pain and agony made me want to cry, just like he was! I thought it was so sweet and so sad that the two people he loved dearly were to be killed right in front of him...BECAUSE OF HIS OWN LAW. And when he he kept wishing for Lancelot himself, at the moment one of his prisoners, to come and rescue Guenever...SO PRECIOUS! And then finally, what we all were waiting for, Lancelot comes and saves her! Everything is alright again...for then. It's been my favorite chapter thus far.

How did everyone else feel about it?
