My value is only in the eyes of the King. I am happy here in this court, serving his majesty and his family. I take pride in my work and the freedoms I'm allowed due to my commitment to the Crown. I am much happier that I am neither seen nor heard unless I'm asked for. King Smith is kind, generous, thoughtful, and compassionate. He is truly a King of his people - his crown is their hearts, not jewels.
I prefer it that way.
Your dining isn't terrible - but it's evident you are a soldier who has lived a soldier's life for some time. You eat as though we will not feed you again. I can assure you that your belly will always be as full as you wish for it to be.
I'm certain I could ask for liberties or favors but I do not make a habit of it. I am a mere citizen of the Kingdom, sir. You are a glorified heir apparent. Our freedoms are different, as are our chains.
Rid the word barbaric from your vocabulary regarding his Highness and the Court. I'm serious. It could not be farther from the truth.
My apologies. I'm tired this afternoon. I hope you saw the grapes I had sent with your lunch? Please, accept them as my penance? I should have known you'd prefer such things, as most men do. I tried not to make any assumptions, and I suppose I have anyway, what with the apple, and all. I will be more mindful in the future.

You can tie a knot? Impossible.
