[ A hard lesson he's learned, and carried with him all these years. A lesson that he hopes others of equal status would know how to do, and what to do with, no matter if the circumstance seems small or not. He's met rulers with no regard for the company they keep, and the crowd they rule over, the rise and fall of monarchs that gave way for their egos to take root. ]
It was no offense to me, my lady. If I were to insist on wearing my title all the time, I imagine it would be exhausting, and frivolous like you said. I rule no land here. But I regard you with respect, and therefore my wish is for you to know me as I am, for I suppose I will always be a king regardless.
