Amidst the flickering torchlight of the castle's hall, Sir Geoffrey knelt before his lord, a parchment in hand.

"My lord," he began, his voice steady, "I pledge my loyalty to the cause. May God grant us strength on this holy mission."

The lord placed a hand on Sir Geoffrey's shoulder, his gaze solemn yet determined. "Rise, Sir Geoffrey. Your courage honors us all. Together, we shall answer the call of the Third Crusade and bring glory to our kingdom."
