Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor suspects that Sir Gilles is corrupting the King (beat_1f37dc46745a19ce), suggesting a theme of manipulation through influence. Geoffrey de Lacy confirms this by arriving to denounce Gilles as an imposter King (beat_1483d3d0d37581dd). The parallel reveals how unchecked loyalty and ambition can corrupt institutions — whether through demonic influence or human deception."
