Answer 2

Answer: King Arthur expects his knight to act in a chivalrous manner.

Step-by-step explanation:

Le Morte d'Arthur is Sir Thomas Malory's retelling of tales about King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, the Knights of the Round Table.

In this story, Bedivere is the main companion of King Arthur. He is one of the first knights to appear in the Arthurian chronicles. As it is every knight's duty to obey his king and follow his instructions, this is also expected of Bedivere. Bedivere does not listen to his king, hence Arthur reprimanded him for not doing so. Bedivere should be loyal to his king and carry out his orders.
