Lucian could feel the rumbling of the carriage underneath his person as Remon began his words, “There are many things I will teach you. Let it be fighting or Horseback riding, teach of these skills I will expect you to perform without error at the end of your tenure as a Squire. Each of those you will need to know for survival, but beyond all of them, your survival will depend on your Courtly Etiquette and Honor.”
Lucian gave a nod with a slight bit of understanding. He knew there were things a peasant like him would be expected to perform, “Things like guiding a lady or taking part in a tournament?”
The Count shook his head at such words, “Honor is far more than simply a list of rules and procedures that we each account with. All of it comes back to Honor, Lucian. How Knights rate one another. A daily interaction with one that you do not see having a high value of Honor will not be the same to someone who has less of one.”
“Um, how does that work?” Lucian had to ask as he was feeling a little lost.
The Nobleman gave a nod as they started just as he envisioned, “An example of gaining Honor would be victory at a Tournament. To be the victor in such an event grants a status that others can ever take from you. That may come in the form of a title event, such as Victor of the Sunset Tournament.”
Lucian nodded his head at that, “Such as it should be.”
“But now the Victor of the Sunset Tournament has just been accused of cheating at the event. Another Knight has alleged that he was not even underneath his own armor at the event.” The demonstration went as he pointed a finger towards Lucian, “His achievement has been put into question and his honor tarnished. Tell me how the Victor of the Sunset Tournament must deal with this slight.”
>Challenge him in a standard duel
>Declare a feud (Basically War)
>Simply rebuff the claims
