  ランスロット
  Lancelot
  This review contains spoilers. 湖の騎士ランスロット、ということはアンドレアはグィネヴィア？アーサーはリチャードで、コリンヌはモーガンですかね？もう一人魔女いたようですが…。女難ここに極まれりって感じのランス、コリンヌがいなければ軍人になることもなく兵士とも出会わず、いずれ出会ってたアンドレアとすんなり恋に落ちて、やっぱり結婚してたのかな。ズタボロになってないランスを見たかった気もするけど、色々あった彼だからアンドレアに優しいんでしょうね。八方丸く収まって大団円でした。ラストなんて言おうとしたの？

  This review contains spoilers. Does Lancelot the Lake Knight mean Andrea is Guinevere? Arthur is Richard and Corinne is Morgan? Looks like there was another witch... Lance and Corinne, who felt like they were in extreme trouble for women, never became soldiers, never met soldiers, and eventually fell in love easily with Andrea, whom they had met, and I wonder if they got married after all. I also feel like I wanted to see Lance not in shambles, but since he had so many things, he's probably kind to Andrea. It fit in a circle on all sides and it was a big circle. What were you trying to say last?

  湖の騎士の愛と重圧
  The Lake Knight's Love and Pressure
  デュ・ラック公爵家の伝説を背景に 神秘的な要素を盛り込んでラブストーリーは始まった。ヒロインアンドレアは、亡き夫でランスロット研究者リチャード教授の遺構をまとめるべく城に滞在し、息子ヒーローランスと出会った。アンドレアとランスのそれぞれの事情を後回しにして ２人の間の変化を前半部分で細かく描写し ロマンスのトキメキと 優しさや、穏やかさ を軸に進展していき私もウットリと読んでいた。だが、物語はそれで終わりではなかった。ランス父の再婚は ランスにとって地獄の1丁目だった。父親を悲しませたくはないという思いの強さが彼を追い込み、体にも心にも大きな傷を残す結果となってしまっていた。前半部分に比べて後半は手拍子のような速さで展開する。これは、前半のアンドレアとの出会いがたったの3日しかない事から、なるべくゆっくりと展開させることで感情の変化を見せたかったと思われ、後半は、前半で築き上げた絆や信頼を基にして事象の解決に功を奏した という形にしたいのだと思われる。分からなくも無いし、それで楽しめたのも事実だけれど、「恋に時間は関係ない」けれど、「信頼からの絆」は時間に大いに関係すると考えているので 私には違和感を残した。少なくとも 夫の生前に出会いを設けておくべきだったのではないかと感じてしまう。事は、義妹の異常な執着と軍でのトラブルとを父親と分かりあうことで そこにアンドレアを配置することで、家族を作り上げることに成功していた。そして、子供を産み育てることを諦めていた2人の下へ授かった命の喜びは それぞれに違うものだけれど 特にランスは、実子として抱くそれに近い状況を体験する作りとなっていて その幸福感に私も納得した。

  The love story began by incorporating mystical elements against the backdrop of the legend of the Duke du Lac family. The heroine Andrea stayed at the castle to gather the remains of her late husband, Lancelot researcher Professor Richard, and met her son, Hero Lance. The changes between Andrea and Lance were put on the back burner, and the changes between the two were described in detail in the first half, and progressed around the excitement, kindness, and serenity of the romance, and I also read it in earnest. But that wasn't the end of the story. Lance's father's remarriage was hell on the 1st street for Lance. The strength of the feeling that he didn't want to make his father sad drove him in, and the result was that he left a huge scar on his body and mind. Compared to the first half, the second half unfolds at a speed similar to clapping hands. Since my encounter with Andrea in the first half was only 3 days, it seems that they wanted to show a change in emotion by making it unfold as slowly as possible, and in the second half, it seems that they wanted to make a difference in resolving the incident based on the bonds and trust built up in the first half. It's true that I didn't understand it, and I was able to enjoy it, but “time has nothing to do with love,” but I think “bonds from trust” have a lot to do with time, so it left a sense of incongruity for me. It makes me feel like I should have at least arranged an encounter with my husband during his lifetime. The thing is, they succeeded in building a family by understanding their sister-in-law's abnormal obsession and trouble in the military, and they placed Andrea there. Also, although the joy of life given to the two people who had given up on bearing and raising children is different for each, Lance in particular was designed to experience a situation close to the one they have as a biological child, and I was convinced by that sense of happiness.

  ヒーローが可哀想過ぎる
  The hero is too pitiful
  あまりにも辛いことがありすぎた…でもヒロインと結ばれて、幸せそうな顔を見たら、本で久しぶりに泣けました。どうかこれからは幸せな事が沢山ありますようにと願うばかりです。

  There were so many painful things... but I was tied to the heroine, and when I saw her happy face, I cried for the first time in a long time with a book. I can only hope that there will be many happy things from now on.
