A Japanese teacher of English telling an English king how to pronounce it...
Actually seeing how Arturia is from before 10th century AD her language would be completely different from modern English...

@EldritchGentleman Not even. England and English people didn't even exist until the Anglo-Saxon migration in the late 400s, and there's basically no cultural or linguistic continuity with the Romanized Celtic Britons they displaced/assimilated/killed. Actively fighting back against them is a huge part of the general Arthurian mythos, and my Nasuverse lore is pretty rusty but I seem to remember Saber saying something about how she'd wish to save her Britain--erasing England from history altogether.

I'm no Celticist so I'm not sure how to extrapolate Welsh "Caledfwlch" back to a plausible 500s Common Brittonic form, but in any case the actual joke is she just can't keep herself from dramatically screaming it.
