He really didn't want to admit to the paladin what he was overhearing in the courts, but to allow such words to fester was to allow the king to be undermined by several of his officers. Personally, Kain hardly cared how others perceived him, but he did find offense in how their distaste for him became ridicule for Baron's royalty. The king and queen were very dear to the dragoon; he was not about to leave their sides until his own death, and that meant that the murmurs would continue to seethe inside of Baron's court unless properly dealt with. Unfortunately, Kain had not the power to silence the words himself, or he would have. Cecil would be offended by what his guard had to tell him, without question, but he needed to stem this disturbance before it picked up any momentum. Even if everyone thought Kain to be a horrible rictus on the face of Baron's court, to speak ill of the king and queen for their support of him was repulsive.
