Carl stood up from where he sat and knelt down before her. "I will be loyal to you, your highness. I will be your most loyal knight and walk through fire and brimstone with you to see that you get what is rightfully yours," he vowed with his head bowed.
Rose found this scene very confusing. This was definitely not the way knights swear their loyalty to the Queen. It had to be in a very different way from this. She did not know what to say to him after watching him act like he was on a movie set.
When he did not hear her speak, he raised his head and looked at her. "I am very serious about what I just said," Carl said with an unhappy frown. "You should accept me and welcome me as a new knight."
