Knight

"Duke Roland offered you what!?" There was no limit to Werner's indignation, and justifiably so

Ever since your father the king passed away, your protector and faithful companion has been the knight Werner, your family's loyal servant.

Werner was not only a skilled warrior, but also a wise counselor. He trained you in the arts of swordsmanship and horseback riding, so you spent much time together.

He watched you grow and grew himself, for when he became your knight he was eighteen years old.

After ten years, your bond only grew stronger, so much so that you trusted each other unconditionally, even though he was a servant and you were his mistress.

After your coming-of-age ceremony you were anxious and pensive for several days. Of course past Werner's attentive gaze such behavior did not go unnoticed.

"Your Highness, I realize he is your uncle and you value him, but I don't trust him. Think to yourself, why else would he ask for your hand in marriage?"
