I am worried about the crown. For many years, I have sworn to serve and protect the crown of Alexandria. As a Knight, one must always protect while banishing any evil. But now, I am being forced to question even myself.

I have been through many battles, and gone through each without worry. I always served with complete and unerring loyalty. The lives of the Royal family have always been mine to protect, and I have done my duty.

Unfortunately, the appearance of that ruffian thief marked the beginning of my dilemma. That boy kidnapped the Princess, and I loyally followed to protect her Royal Highness! But in my absence from the Castle, my eyes slowly opened. I originally had refused to believe what that foolish boy or his cohorts said. But the more time I spent away from the Queen, I slowly learned the truth.

To my great regret, I must admit that the Queen has become corrupt. She no longer holds the great country of Alexandria dear. Instead, she has grown callous towards everyone, interested in only her own affairs. But in learning this, a grave problem soon arose.

Having sworn fealty, must I spend my life in servitude?
