You are fast becoming a positive menace to those of advanced years like yours truly. I have not laughed so much in a long time, with the result that I now have what feels like a stitch in my ribs,and it is all your fault!😉
It is hilarious, your Tales of the Round Table transposed to 4th century BC Bharat, especially the parts I have marked in blue. But why is it Sir Parvatak Arthurketu, and not Raja?

Aunty this is a fun post on how it would be if Arthurian Characters roamed CN land!
This whole story begins in the distant past, a time of political and social unrest in India. There was no leader worth the name at the helm of affairs, and those in power were absolutely corrupt and tyrannical. That was the time when a great leader rose to power.
He was a warrior sans pareil. He was Sir Parvatak Arthurketu. He established his mettle by catching the Javelin of Excalibur thrown with the velocity of light by Queen Gueneverelene and hitting the bulls eye with it. After that he married Gueneverelene, went about wandering the country side fighting battles to save the honor of Gueneverelene and getting saved by her with hair pin knives from VFX tigers.
He had several prominent knights who represented him. They were Madam Launcelotini, Sir Galahad Gupt, Don Quixoto Nand, etc Though all these knights represented him, they could not stand the sight of each other, leave alone sitting together amicably around a round table. Madam Launcelotini was Don Quixoto Nand's Daughter. Her mother was Lady of the Fake, Avantika.
He had a teacher and mentor who favored one of his knights Sir Galahad Gupt more than him. He was the magician Merlinakya. Sir Galahad Gupt to do him justice was so pure at heart that he was untouched by the feeling of love. There was only one lady in his life. And that was Bharath Mata on whose behalf he fought all his battles.
This story also has its share of antagonists like Lady Mooragan who hated his knight Don Quixoto Nand so much that she wanted to destroy him and those who supported him. What none of them knew was that Sir Galahad Gupt was the son of Lady Mooragan.
Sir Parvatak Arthurketu despite being happily married had some extra marital intentions towards Madam Launcelotini of which the said lady knight was perfectly unaware. Launcelotini was so anxious to prove herself as the best knight and decided to go and save Queen Gueneverelene when the latter was kidnapped by miscreants.
Sir Galahad Gupt also wanted to go and do the saving because it was his life's mission to save streeyon who were in distress, drop them off to their tents on horses, brush off lizards from their vastras, etc. All this was very good for the perfectly white halo round him and kept it permanently whitewashed. ( First prize!!)
But since he could not afford to go when Launcelotini was fighting, as for one he could never stand her face, two he could not afford to show her his face, he quietly waited till she was knocked off in the fight before he saved Queen Gueneverelene. So that was a short account on the adventure of the kidnapped queen.
Hope you liked this adventure! More still to follow after I see CN!
