The Queen's Court

[Unseelie]

Though the event was not private, only a small crowd had gathered, mostly Royal Fleet men and woman, a handful of BMM dignitaries, and a few loved ones. There was, of course, the regular detachment of scheming courtiers and a detachment from Carina's Guard, but the crowd could still have been much larger. Corporate interests, for once, were not interested, nor were many of the Admiralty's men.

On the dias, one Michael William Brown knelt in front of Carina I, who would speak about his dedication to the house of bretonia, his worth as a human being, and then gently place an old sword on either of his shoulders, then his head, and proclaim:

"Sir Michael William Brown, I, Carina, knight you in the name of the Great House of Bretonia. Rise, Knight of the Realm"
