He’s very different from the other knights. He’s…. more polite. He’s kind and caring and that’s how he approaches everything he does.
The other knights don’t see the benefit of being polite. They’d rather fight and steal and be scary. Be tough and fierce and sneaky. But when the king falls ill and needs a rare flower to cure him, the knights’ approaches are all put to the test.
