Francis is Knighted

After his fight, came the patiently waited ceremony.

There were lots of peasants and nobles, separated, of course. Even the Royal family was present.

Francis was to be knighted by the Princess he would be sworn to protect.

It would all take place in the Castle.

Catalina was eagerly and anxiously waiting for the ceremony.

She was now sitting next to her father, mother, and sister.

All members of the Royal family had to be present in the moment of knighthood.

She could also see William on the side, eyeing the future knight with intensity.

What a sore loser, thought Catalina.

She had also turned to look at Francis.

That dreamy expression once again plastered on her face.

She saw the future knight start forward, indicating the beginning of the ceremony.

With this, the surrounding nobles stopped their petty gossip.

She now noticed how noisy the room had been.

It's always after it's quiet that you notice how loud a room used to be.
