Unknowing what they may be facing there, Sirus instructed Garret to wear full armor, even though in his blessed form he would have no need for it. Sirus explained that now that he was a member of the knighthood, Garret would be expected to uphold not only the traditions of the knights and the honor of the kingdom, but also the appearance expected of someone with the title of a lord. Garret hadn’t realized the implications of becoming one of the knights. He was not royalty per se, but now, as a Knight of Valdadore, Garret would be granted land and a manor, and a pension to sustain it all, not to mention he would be required to guard the king himself if the need arose. Garret reeled at the realization, having not even thought of it before, and hoped he would soon see his brother to tell him of the great fortune that had befallen him. Now not only would they have a home in Vineleaf, but they too would have a home and lands elsewhere in the kingdom. Garret swelled with pride as he donned his armor, and if it were possible after being blessed yesterday, it appeared that he even walked just a little bit taller.Sirus and Garret left the garrison in full regalia.
