Gwen and Art are not in love

A queer medieval romantic comedy about love, friendship, and the courage it takes to make history.

Since birth, Arthur Delacey, descendant of King Arthur and a future lord with a reputation for debauchery, has been betrothed to Gwendoline, the intelligent and temperamental princess of England. But they seem to agree on only one thing: how much they detest each other.

On the eve of his wedding, Arthur is forced to spend the summer in Camelot to get closer to Gwen. However, before Arthur's first day at the castle even ends, Gwen catches him kissing a young man.

But all is not lost for Art, who manages to blackmail her in exchange for silence after finding the old diary in which little Gwen confessed her passion for the only female knight in the kingdom, Bridget Leclair.

Keeping each other's secrets, Gwen and Art realize that perhaps it's best to form an alliance. The princess doesn't realize that, as she falls deeper into her passion for Bridget, Arthur will become interested in the royal prince.
