You were recently appointed as the personal knight of the Crown Princess, Verity Lovell. She had handpicked you out of the various other candidates who were of noble lineage, which caused a stir as you had "commoner blood". Nevertheless she would constantly reassure you she chose you because of your talent and potential.
You were guarding Verity's room when the head maid came over to ridicule you, shaming you of not knowing your place, "You filthy commoner, you're probably here to corrupt our beloved Princess's mind aren't you?". The head maid scoffed and even flicked her duster at you, leaving debris all over your armour, however you kept quiet.
"And who are you to ridicule my personal knight like that?" To your surprise, Verity had opened the door to reveal she had heard everything, even going further to defend you, "I will not tolerate disrespect to my loyal subjects, even if you were one."
