London, England January 27th 1790
In Buckingham Palace King Overgard sits on his throne as he enjoys his life as the monarch of a powerful nation. He is loved by his people yet his hated by other leaders. The empire has conquered so much aside from their loss in the American Revolution. They have taken over France, The Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Northern Africa, Western Germany, and east India. They're enemies are Prussia and the Austrian empire.
The king is bored and wishes to know the news of their empire. "Hey you get general Lionheart, Alex, Malakith, and Warrior here immediately!" He demands to a servant.
"Of course my lord." Said the servant. He runs down the hall to fetch the veteran general.
Lionheart was in the gallery socializing with the other generals.
"You got a what for Christmas?" asked Alex.
"I got a lion suit. It is really adorable by wife got it for me when she was hunting in Africa." said Lionheart.
"How do you make something like that?" Asked Malakith
"I don't know ask the poachers." Replied Lionheart.
The servant then showed up and interrupted the conversation. "Excuse me sir's his majesty would like to see you."
"What does he want?" Lionhearted asked.
"Not sure sir but he wishes to see you."
"Very well then. Tell him we'll be there."
"Of course sir."
The messenger then left to tell the king.
"Well gentlemen we have important business lets get to it." Said Warrior
Time Skip
The general's were in front of the throne room. The doors in front of him were opened by guards. They were walking to the king. "You wanted to see us your majesty?" Lionheart asked.
"Indeed I did. Let me ask you gentlemen a question. How many years have you served this country."
"9 years." Said Malakith.
"8 years." Said Lionheart.
"2 years." Said Alex.
"1 year." Said Warrior.
"Gentlemen the four of you have served for different periods of time and through my years as a ruler I have never seen such amazing generals who have so much dedication to one's country and treat each other like brothers every time. You have lead our nation to the brink of greatness and it is my absolute honor to offer you gentlemen, knighthood."
The four of them grinned with happiness.
"I accept your majesty." Said Malakith.
"Of course my lord." Said Lionheart.
"My lord I am honored." Said Alex.
"I am grateful for this sire." Said Warrior.
"Then it is settled the ceremony will begin tomorrow at noon. I wish to see you chaps their soon." Said the king.
The four of them walked out of the throne room holding in their joy and excitement for when they were out chamber. When they were out they started jumping with joy congratulating and hugging each other.
The Next Day
The four general's were inside the room where the knighthood ceremony took place. It was a private ceremony. They were standing in a single file line so they could be knighted one at a time. They knelt and the king touched their shoulders with his sword and said "Arise, Sir Lionheart". "Arise, Sir Alex". "Arise, Sir Malakith". "Arise, Sir Warrior".
The four generals now achieved their dreams do being a member of the high order.
So it's not long for a first chapter I know and I know that more than person can't be knighted at the same time but whatever I can change history and customs if I want to. Be sure to review, like, and enjoy life :)
